paperless gun

PAPERLESS WEAPONS
A reader brought up a good way to get paperless weapons- place an ad for the gun you want. If you offer enough over cost someone will want to sell. It used to be that there was plenty of used guns advertised. Then Hillary passed the semi-auto and large capacity gun ban and suddenly no one was selling anymore. That plus the fact that daily newspapers are a terrible way to sell your used goods anymore. The Internet killed them and they don’t even know it yet. And by the way, before some Leftist wienie pipes up about how bad Bush is and I shouldn’t pick on poor misunderstood Hillary by calling her evil, I hate both political parties. The one is Fascist and the other is Communist. They are both bad. But while Bush is pro-big government and incompetent and greedy, Hillary is all that PLUS evil, so she is the worst of the two.

But how much should we worry about needing a traceless firearm? I grant you that there is a possibility of a total ban, but I think the odds are small. It might make sense to protect against that threat, but if it is small, spend accordingly. One of the favorite ways politicians enact laws is to pepper them with loopholes and grandfather clauses. That way there is a lot less opposition to them. The semi-auto ban is a good example. When they get around to passing a permanent version it will kill anything other than rimfires in semi-auto, but what is already out there will be allowed. It will take some time for the prices to reach “rich Yuppie Bastards only” status, and by that time most people will have grudgingly accepted it and gotten on without a revolution. The last ban with ten year sunset law and limited type bans was a trial balloon. We accepted it without a fuss. The next one will be draconian ( so, as Jim over at www.survivalblog.com says, buy as many magazines as you can now, before they are all gone ).

Even in Soviet Russia there were certain weapons such as shotguns allowed. Only in Great Briton is it getting to be a total ban ( tragically amusing considering you could buy an over the counter pistol without paperwork or ID up until the late teens of the twentieth century- the Irish terrorists were the excuse to start controls ). You could even set up shop in Australia and still buy some bolt action rifles, but they are a controlled item. The cops would know where to come looking after a total ban ( although, you could disappear into the bush ). That is the problem with paperwork, the eventual ban. But could it happen here? We have already proved we are sheep, accepting gun control for almost 90 years. Would a total ban be accepted? Perhaps, just perhaps, the politicians know enough to not enact a total ban. I would hope there are enough folks out there that would treat that as the last life preserver against a total dictatorship that we would finally get our asses out of the La-Z-Boy in front of the plasma screen TV and go wipe out every politician and lawyer out there. And I include myself in that question. Would I have the stones to stand up to the bastards?

We certainly have the guns and the numbers if we wanted to resist. Even with the government chipping away at our freedoms, even with the taxpayer and printing press paid welfare mob and government work pukes unwilling to allow the Constitution to get in the way of their paycheck, there are still a few people interested in freedom enough to resist. So perhaps a total ban will never be tried. The relentless propaganda against guns has turned entire states into gun free zones, turned neighbor against neighbor, done away with shooting ranges and safe zones ( only cops are safe in public schools ) and in general bred generations of people that won’t touch guns. But there always will be enough of us to successfully rebel if prodded into it. So other means are used. The above mentioned brain washing. Making pistols uneconomical to a majority of people through high litigation costs showing up in retail prices. Partial bans such as the semi-auto one. And the fight against the gun owners and the gun haters ( the ones who will narc on you after a ban ).

Perhaps a total ban will be tried. I said I doubt it, but it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. So how much money do you want to spend as insurance against that? A pre-1899 gun starts at over two hundred bucks. A black powder pistol is almost as much. And any private sale you will pay a premium. The only cheap way to do it is to buy a fifty dollar flare gun, or make yourself a plumbing pipe shotgun “zip gun”. Both are hazardous and inaccurate. If you are really poor but fear a total ban, consider this. A Molotov cocktail is a low dollar way to steal a police or military firearm. If you don’t have the guts to do that, you might as well just meekly accept the ban and join the line into the concentration camp.

And who really thinks a ban would work anyway? The black market would sell you a fully automatic AK-47 in Soviet Russia. In Hillary’s Soviet Amerika, the black market will sell you any weapon you have the cash to buy. A few silver coins now ( while the price is artificially low compared to paper currency now, buy the heck out of bullion ) could be a good saving account for a gun later on. Drug prohibition doesn’t work. Not even in prisons. Alcohol prohibition never worked. Gun prohibition won’t work either. I can see why people are worried and would want insurance in the form of a paperless weapon now. But that is an unnecessary expense in my opinion. Just as freeze dried food is a way to avoid learning how to cook by substituting money for skill, buying an expensive paperless gun is a way of substituting the will to resist by ruthlessness with money. It is one thing to snipe from afar at oppressive troops, but another to firebomb the local deputies squad car to get his Glock and Remington. The Yuppies don’t want to get their hands dirty like that. Joe Bob Trailer Park may have no other option come the rebellion.

If you want a really cheap method, just buy a box of ammo and buy the Improvised Weapons e-book from me for $2 at www.bisonpress.com ( you will need broadband, otherwise see the site for ordering a CD of the book ) and get the plans on making a rifle or pistol zip gun. Less than perfect, a little safer than a shotgun zip gun. Super cheap for having a paperless gun, if you feel you need it. Hey, if it will allow you to sleep better at night, go for it.
