  How did they get the word? There has to be some sort of order on official letterhead from someone.This de-mil battle was fought previously. Before I retired, I was the Director of Public Affairs at Lackland Air Force Base and we sent TONS of brass to DRMO because of the Basic Trainees' shooting. A couple of Congressman put an end to proposed de-milling of this military brass. This requirement would be a change and contrary to the desire of Congress. These changed requirements always have a paper trail and the de-mil call was successfully fought once already during the Obammunist's administration. It is a scandal of the first water, right up there with DHS buying billions of rounds under suspicious and not fully explained circumstances. This type of crap makes me hot, hot, HOT.   Fox News and the conservative blogs would love to get a hold of this, I'm thinking.     This isn't the best source, but this is what I could find quickly:   http://www.gunweek.com/2010/Brass0501.html

  Do you have a source on this? This is evil if confirmed. This is something to share with Congressman and Senators.

Well, here's a handful of news and no two ways about it:   Good on the Smyrna Police and a big assist goes to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office:   Smyrna police use rubber bullets to end five-hour standoff   SMYRNA — Smyrna police used rubber bullets to end a five-hour standoff early Wednesday.   The standoff started at about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday when officers responded to a domestic situation at a home on Ella Street.   According to Police Chief Kevin Arnold, a man inside the home started firing shots after officers arrived. Police said the man fired shots through a window after the SWAT team arrived.   Officers evacuated neighboring homes and cut power to the neighborhood in an attempt to draw the suspect outside.   At about 1:30 a.m., a police sniper shot the man with several rubber bullets and officers took him into custody.   The man's health was evaluated before police took him to jail.   http://www.dnj.com/article/20130410/NEWS06/304100018/Smyrna-police-use-rubber-bullets-end-five-hour-standoff     But wait! There's more! Three whole stories for the price of one:   Story two:     Standoff suspect was 'asking for officers to shoot him,' says Smyrna Police Chief   SMYRNA — A five-hour standoff involving a suicidal man at an Ella Street home ended in dramatic fashion Tuesday night when a Smyrna Police sniper shot him with foam “less lethal” rounds to disable him as an entry team rushed into his home to bring him into custody.   Michael Cowger, 64, of 300 Ella Street, was charged with six counts of reckless endangerment and one count of aggravated domestic assault following the incident, which began around 7:30 p.m. when Smyrna 911 communications received a call from his wife stating Cowger was “upset, intoxicated and armed with a weapon,” according to Smyrna Police Chief Kevin Arnold.   Officers arrived at the home and could see Cowger walking through the home firing rounds from a handgun, according to Arnold. Those officers called for backup and soon the home was surrounded by officers from both the city police department and Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, including the SPD SWAT team. RCSO deputies drove a Bearcat tactical armored vehicle to the scene to aid Smyrna Police.   Surrounding homes were quickly evacuated for the safety of other residents, Arnold added.   “Several attempts were made to get Mr. Cowger to communicate with our negotiators and he refused,” Arnold said. “The decision was made to cut all electricity to Mr. Cowger’s residence in the hopes this would get him to communicate, but he still refused to talk to us.”   Officers also deployed tear gas into the home in an attempt to get Cowger to come out, Arnold said, but as soon as the cannisters landed inside, Cowger started firing rounds from a weapon through a window in the direction of officers.   Instead of returning fire, Arnold said, officers at the scene utilized their training on suicidal individuals who try to get police officers to take their lives, and put a plan into action to bring Cowger into custody alive.   “The decision was made to deploy the Bearcat and establish an entry into the home through the garage,” Arnold explained. “This caused Mr. Cowger to finally to begin communicating with our negotiators.”   Those negotiations lasted for more than two hours with Cowger “asking for officers to shoot him several times in an attempt to commit suicide by cop,” Arnold said. “He even threatened to begin shooting through walls at the officers in an attempt to get them to engage him.”   But Cowger could have never guessed what was coming next, according to Arnold. Officers could see him through an upstairs window. He had barricaded himself in an office by placing a desk against the door.   SPD Officer Gary Schoon moved into position with a sniper rifle, and was given the all-clear to shoot Cowger with direct impact foam rounds, “a less lethal option,” Arnold said.   “Mr. Cowger was hit three times with these rounds and an entry team forced their way into the room, taking Mr. Cowger into custody,” Arnold said.   Cowger was taken from the scene to a hospital for a mental evaluation, where he remained on Tuesday, according to Arnold. He will be served with arrest warrants upon his release and a court date will then be set.   Arnold said Wednesday he was extremely proud of both his officers and those who assisted in the situation from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.   “We could have, at one point, especially when officers could hear the bullets wizzing by their head, turned this place into a firing range, but we didn’t,” Arnold said. “The officers were able to rely on their training. They did an exceptional job, one I personally think was an exercise in patience and not just giving into this man’s silly demands.”   http://www.dnj.com/article/20130410/MICRO0501/304100024/Standoff-suspect-asking-officers-shoot-him-says-Smyrna-Police-Chief     And in the special bonus round . . . story three:     Democrats verify that party treasurer faces charges   MURFREESBORO — Rutherford County Democratic Party spokesman Mike Williams confirmed today that Smyrna Police charged local party treasurer Michael Cowger Tuesday night with aggravated domestic assault and reckless endangerment charges.   Williams, who is running to be the party’s new chairman this Saturday, read the following statement during a phone interview:   “Speaking as a spokesperson for the Democratic party, Mike Williams said today that our best wishes and hopes go out to the Cowger family in this difficult time. Williams also expressed gratefulness and appreciation to the Smyrna Police Department for the efficient and compassionate way that they handled this dangerous and difficult situation. He added that, as Democrats, we believe in the dignity of all human beings and, with that in mind, we will have no further comments but will instead allow the Cowger family to work out their crisis.”   http://www.dnj.com/article/20130410/NEWS05/304100039/Democrats-verify-party-treasurer-faces-charges-after-standoff-police     I'm thinking this trifecta is a better story with a happier ending than the one that was wall to wall on national news where the cops shot dead the guy that held four firefighters hostage.   Once again, good on the Smyrna Police and the RCSO.

  Something you might not have thought about.   Single guys who own their own home are incredibly attractive to young single women. No fooling.   I know we live in a gender neutral world now, and guys and girls are all the same (sarc), but a house is an entirely different thing for a lot of women. A guy might consider a house an investment, a place to hang his hat, one pretty much like another.   However, to a lot of women, a house is something else entirely. Be a single guy and buy a house and take good care of it, and you'd be surprised how much difference it makes to women you date.   I bet you think I'm making this up, but I'm not.

Ammo Manufacturers Scramble to Keep Up with Demand, Reassure Eager Customers April 3, 2013   By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.    The run on ammunition has manufacturers scrambling to accommodate demand and reassure customers, as many new and seasoned gun owners stock up over fears of new firearms regulations at both the state and federal levels.   Hornady, an ammunition manufacturer located in Grand Island, Nebraska, offers answers to concerned customers on the FAQ page of their website:   Q: Have you stopped production, or has the government forced you to stop? A: Not at all.   Q: Since we can't find your product you must be selling it all to the government. A: Nope, less than 5% of our sales are to government entities.   Q: Why can't you make more? Ramp up production? Turn on all the machines? A:We've been steadily growing our production for a long time, especially the last five years. We've added presses, lathes, CNC equipment, people and space. Many popular items are produced 24 hours a day. Several hundred Hornady employees work overtime every week to produce as much as safely possible. If there is any question about that - please take a tour of the factory. You'll be amazed at what you see.   The page also states:   "We are producing as much as we can; much more than last year, which was a lot more than the year before, etc. No one wants to ship more during this time than we do.   "We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience. We don't know when the situation will improve, so please bear with us a little longer. And remember, when it comes to Hornady Manufacturing, if you don't hear it from us, please don't believe it."   Other ammo manufacturers are saying virtually the same thing.   Jeff Hoffman, president of Black Hills Ammunition told GunsandAmmo:   "We have a little bit of the hunting calibers on hand, like .270, but everything else is gone. It's only skipping once on its way out the door."   Keith Enlow, senior vice president and ammunition manager at Freedom Group, said:   "Even though we're in the middle of panic buying, we don't see the demand for ammunition going away any time soon."   And, according to Guns&Ammo, Remington's official statement on ammo production is:   "Remington is at full capacity at this time in a majority of categories of ammunition. We are continuing to look at how to increase capacity and supply our ammunition products to the various channels of distribution/sales that we support." The major online ammunition distributors mirror the messages of the manufacturers.   LuckyGunner, located in Knoxville Tennessee provides this message to its customers:   "Our team has been working nights and weekends to ensure that the service we deliver to you is not compromised by the current heightened demand for ammunition."   "Our team is working very hard to secure more product for you and we will.  When its available to be sold, you will see it on our site."   http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/ammo-manufacturers-scramble-keep-demand-reassure-eager-customers  

  I imagine that once you've made up your mind on this issue, we'll do what you want.   While you're still thinking about it, here's a few points to consider:   Be sure what you ask for, because you just might get it.   Be aware of the Law of Unintended Consequences.   Be careful that you do not unilaterally disarm yourself from a technique, that when properly applied, is effective.     In any contest with an adversary, whether on the battlefield, the ball-field, or in the marketplace, good intel increases your odds of victory. Capturing a copy of the adversary's "Playbook" is a real prize.   The Left's Playbook is Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." The Left uses "Rules for Radicals" almost slavishly because so many of their base-level adherents are basically stupid and need to be directed.   Folks on the Conservative side of issues that wish to counter the Left ought to study "Rules for Radicals" and develop techniques to counter the adversary's Playbook.   Rule Five is:   Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.   Ridicule, including creative miss-spellings, can be an effective adversarial technique. The Left will NOT stop using ridicule, so if the Right does NOT use ridicule, it becomes unilateral disarmament. The more appropriate approach might be to be sure that ridicule is used effectively and creatively. Whatever techniques are used by the Right, expect the Left to ridicule them nonetheless.   Rules for Radicals http://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radicals-Saul-Alinsky/dp/0679721134/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365097759&sr=8-1&keywords=rule+for+radicals   Rules for Radicals Defeated: A Practical Guide for Defeating Obama/Alinsky Tactics http://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radicals-Defeated-Practical-Defeating/dp/1475192037/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1365097774&sr=8-2&keywords=rule+for+radicals   Rules for Radical Conservatives: Beating the Left at Its Own Game to Take Back America http://www.amazon.com/Rules-Radical-Conservatives-Beating-America/dp/0345521862/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1365097793&sr=8-3&keywords=rule+for+radicals

  It's worse than that. There's a factor called, among other things, "the unassailable witness." The left will often use women with small children to say the most outrageous things, counting on others to not challenge them out of respect. It's a trap.

People do not trust the God-Emperor Barack Hussein Obama. People do not trust the thugs in the Obama regime. Obama and his minions have all lied too frequently to earn or maintain trust. People have concerns for their basic liberties because they have concerns for their basic liberties and these concerns are reasonable. The tremendous volume of gun and ammunition purchases across the country are a manifestation of this lack of trust. It is a negative vote of confidence and the God-Emperor Barack Hussein Obama and his minions need to work to regain the trust of the people, if that is even possible at this point. A simple speech saying "trust me" won´t cut it.

Obama Chides Pro-Gun Rights Advocates Who Say They Need Guns To Defend Against The Government: ‘The Government Is Us’   by Noah Rothman   Speaking before an audience of law enforcement officers in Colorado about the need for stricter gun laws, President Barack Obama chided those gun rights advocates who claim they require firearms to protect themselves against the overreach of the federal government. The president said that these concerns were invalid. “The government’s us,” he said.   “The opponents of some of these common sense laws have ginned up fears among responsible gun owners that have nothing to do with what’s being proposed – nothing to do with the facts – but feeds into this suspicion about government,” Obama said.   “You hear some of these quotes: I need a gun to protect myself from the government,” he added. “We can’t do background checks because the government’s gonna come take my guns away.”   “The government’s us,” Obama countered. “These officials are elected by you. They are constrained as I am constrained, by a system that our founders put in place.”   “Surely, we can have a debate that’s not based on the notion, somehow, that you’re elected representatives are trying to do something to you other than potentially prevent another group of families from grieving the way the families of Aurora, or Newtown, or Columbine have grieved,” Obama concluded.   (video available at website)   http://www.mediaite.com/tv/obama-chides-pro-gun-rights-advocates-who-say-they-need-guns-to-defend-against-the-govt-the-govt-is-us/
