The Liberty Sphere's Political Buzz

The Liberty Sphere presents 'The Political Buzz'--the latest whispers and rumors swirling in and around the Beltway.

Go to most any gun store in America and sooner or later you will hear the rumor that big changes are on the way with regard to ammunition under the Barack Obama administration.

Several were overheard to say that one reason retailers can't get adequate supplies of ammo is that encoding is on the way, and thus, manufacturers are waiting until sometime after Jan. 20 to attempt to ascertain whether or not ammo encoding will be required under the incoming Administration.

This would save the manufacturer the costs of shipping out ammo that will only have to be recalled.

I asked a local dealer in South Carolina if this were true. He stated that anything is possible, but he doubts that this will be a nation-wide push due to the cost involved and the wave of vehement protest that would immediately ensue.

Another dealer, a female, was contacted, and she was bit more pessimistic. She could only say that she 'hopes' this is not the case about the ammo and that the main reason for the delay in shipments is the great Obama-inspired rush on guns and ammunition in the run-up to the 'regime change.'

She also made it a point to state that what she's hearing from the customers who frequent her store indicates that the vast majority have 'contingency plans' should Obama and his minions get wild ideas about encoding ammunition or restricting access to firearms.

In addition, House and Senate Republican conservatives also have a plan. They know that RINOS like John McCain will go along with much of the Obama plan. Senate Republicans will use the filibuster and attempt to embarrass and strong-arm turncoats such as McCain, Snow, and others into silence on key issues.

Look for South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, and Oklahoma Senators Tom Coburn and James Inhofe to be at the forefront of the GOP maneuvering to stop any attempt to mandate ammo encoding, as well as several other key issues regarding our nation's survival.

Among conservatives look for South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's stock to decline, given he has hitched his wagon a bit too often to McCain to set well with his conservative base. He will simply be bypassed as conservatives get serious about stopping the ultra-liberal bandwagon.

Add David Vitter of Louisiana to your list.

I'm pretty sure Coburn is from Oklahoma.

Actually, both Coburn AND Inhofe are Okies. My mistake. Duly noted and changed. Thanks for the heads-up!

Be nice if they filibuster sooner rather than later. There are several nominations for cabinet for example that should not be there! Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Carol Browner, John Holden, Timothy Geithner ... just to start the list.

Wayne, I know the conservatives have a strategy...but I am not certain they will use it this early. They may decide it's better to use their ace in the hole on other matters. But we'll see. The Holder nomination is certainly one that should be blocked.

Horseshit! the R's do not have any strategy except "shit, now what do I have to do to get elected again?

"Fuck the country. This is serious! I might have to actually go to work, We ain't having that shit."

Oh, yeah, the D's aren't a damn bit different. Our worst and weakest work their asses off to be the most popular. Popularity, good looks, and a line of bullshit that nobody understands, will get the brain slow to vote for them every time. How else does one explain Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, Shumer, Boxer. Clinton, Murtha, Cornyn, Lincoln, McCain, et al?
