Man that Harry Reid is a real peach-of-a-guy isn't he?

I wonder if this will be enough to get the NRA to dump his "A" rating in the shredder?

I really hate that douchebag.

Sad thing is that eventually the Repubs will cave,probably by blackmail,and start voting yes on this kind of crap.

So you will need to pass a background check to buy fertilizer and gasoline? For some, their lawn will die and their car will be parked.

The evil people will always find a way and the bozos in govt. will keep taking away our rights. All the ingredients are out there and can't be stopped. Even when they get their police state. Besides they had their sights on the older bro in 2011 and screwed up. What a joke!

Making Salt Peter From Urine

Urine can in fact be used in the manufacture of gunpowder, and it has historically been a very important source of one of the crucial ingredients in gunpowder, saltpeter, also known as niter. This nitrate compound is what allows gunpowder to rapidly oxidize and catch fire, generating an explosion which can be used to fire munitions. In the modern era, there are less smelly ways to get saltpeter, typically through an industrial process which uses ammonia as a base.

While you cannot literally make gunpowder from urine, as you need several other ingredients to produce gunpowder, urine can certainly be used to produce one necessary element. In addition to saltpeter, however, people also need charcoal and sulfur. These ingredients are both readily available, unlike saltpeter, so the popular stories about making gunpowder from urine do have a rational basis. Until the First World War, before people learned to reliably synthetically produce niter, urine, guano, and manure were all collected to produce gunpowder.

Initially, saltpeter was scraped from the walls of stables, but this source quickly proved to be insufficient, so people started collecting urine and dung to access the valuable nitrates. To extract saltpeter from urine historically, gunpowder manufacturers set up "niter beds" of straw, filtering the urine through the straw, which would concentrate the salts in the urine for easy collection. Urine has also had a number of other uses, and competition for available resources could sometimes be fierce, which may explain why many nations continued to use bladed weapons after the development of firearms, as making gunpowder from urine was expensive and time consuming.

During various times of war historically, citizens have been asked to collect urine and dung so that gunpowder manufacturers could use these products in the manufacture of gunpowder. Making gunpowder is a hazardous practice, and not recommended for people who are not experienced, although some people do make their own black powder at home, for hunting and historical re-enactment. Some historical societies sometimes offer demonstrations which involve making gunpowder from urine, among other things.

In the NWO we will use mass transit or the elite party members will drive electric. Gasoline will not be around much.

If this passes it just might be the straw that broke the camels back. What utter nonsense.

One more incedent and the sheep will go for anything our govt. masters suggest.

Maybe this will be just what is needed for Reid to find his place in the unemployment line.

Which won't change the majority the Dems have and will result in an even MORE anti-gun shlub being Majority leader.

What I'm hoping is that we can get some more urban states to start voting in pro-gun senate candidates. Places like Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado for instance.

I'm also hoping to see some serious bloodletting on a state level in Colorado and NY over the gun-laws they passed. Colorado in particular I think, is going to change hands in the 2014 elections. If it doesn't, LOOK OUT. Because that will embolden the antis like nothing else.

If there is a silver lining the link says there's only an 8% chance the bill getting out of committee and 2% chance of enactment.

Well if powder and primers were hard to find before the hysteria this news will certainly cause will make them to be impossible to find.

 

[locobob]

I think Reid is getting a little misplaced blame here, the bill's sponsor is actually Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) - a long time enemy of gun rights. Reid introduced the bill as Lautenberg has been out sick, so basically he is doing his job as Senate President. Reid in neither a sponsor nor a co-sponsor of S. 792.

Here you can see what Lautenberg has been up to, a couple of gems at the top of the list. Go down to browse bills by sponsor/select a senator and scroll down til you get to Lautenberg.

Dammit. Now I need a safe to hold all the panic powder I stock up. With the panic gun safe and the panic ammo safe, I'm running out of room!

Some call gun owners underdogs, I see it as Liberal-antis underestimating the resolve of gun owner.

In a knife or sword fight those who overreach can get pretty screwed up by a capable opponent. It's a universal theory that relates to many events

wonder how long before someone says Bush started this too.:biglaugh:

Don't be too sure. Tom Foley lost his seat (he was speaker of the house) and the "D"s lost the house and the senate after the Clinton AWB was passed in 1994.
