Start Now While You Still Can

Ok, as I said I have been doing a lot of research on upcoming plans and ideas the feds want to put in place in the near future. I am still looking at the health care bill, but have heard some interesting things about what could be in it. I am, however, very careful about what I tell you and want to make sure it is based in fact so I will not bring you wild rumors. When I have facts, so will you.

That being the case, I am telling you now to start buying, or stock up if you are already armed, weapons and ammunition. There are several in the congress, senate and of course the White House, including the appointed not elected cabinet members that are starting to make moves toward gun control legislation. With all of the new programs that are being put through and the EXTREME DISLIKE of them by the general citizens, politicians are becoming nervous. So rather than stop doing what the people don't like, they will just prevent the people from being able to do anything about it. Isn't that just like an out of control oppressive government?

My first suggestion is very useful and inexpensive. I will admit that sometimes I am "brand picky". But I do have reasons for talking up or down a particular brand. Number one is a Ruger 10/22 rifle in .22 magnum. It is a very versicle rifle, compact, and easily fired and maintained. And like the regular 10/22 you can get high capacity magazines for it made by Promag. A .22 magnum round will work for hunting small to medium game, and some people even use them to poach deer. They also will work for self defense. Not quite an all out assault rifle, but still effective, and easier for women and kids to shoot if they are not weapons trained already.
Ruger has a great reputation for quality and accuracy, and there are several dozen companies making all kinds of accessories for these rifles. Folding stocks, scope mounts, rail kits for mounting lights and lasers, you name it and you can get it for a Ruger 10/22 base rifle.

As for the mentioned accessories. I would suggest only a few things, you are able to overload your weapon and make it almost unusable. Number one is a good rifle sling, you won't be able to carry it all the time. I would go with a compact adjustable power rifle scope in the 1-4x range. It will work for hunting small game out to 100 to 150 yards on 4 power and still be good for close combat on 1 power. And a small but high quality flashlight is always a good idea. For hunting you can spotlight frogs and rabbits, and sometimes even squirrels. And it is also helpful when searching and clearing dwellings. But be sure you have EXTRA BATTERIES!!! and don't use it more than you have to. If you are just needing a flashlight to see where you are going or to set up camp, use a flashlight. The main purpose for a flashlight on a weapon is to light up where the barrel is pointed, that is not such a good idea when you are just trying to start a fire or open some beans. Folding or telescopic stocks are personal, some like them some don't. That's up to you. But that's about it. Like I said you can get about anything, but do you really need it.

And to go with it I would say get a Ruger .22 magnum auto pistol. Keeping the same caliber cuts down carrying extreme amounts of various rounds and also eliminates the problems of trying to put the wrong bullets in the wrong gun. This is very simple, all you need is a good holster and all the extra magazines you can afford. That is all you need for the pistol.

Get a good quality cleaning kit for then and a book on each for doing field strip cleaning and full strip down cleaning and maintenance on every weapon you buy.
Military ammunition cans are very good for holding and transporting ammo. And buy as much as you can as often as you can. And there you go.

I will try to get some links up for suppliers that I have confidence in for having good quality items and fair prices. Keep an eye out for them. I will get them up as son as I check them out first. That's all for now. Good luck, stay alert.
