Didn’t realize how much I was missing. Next Monday is ammo day and lets all celebrate by getting some ammo that day.

[SeatlePI] Seattle resident Chris Pierce had left Butch’s Gun Shop on Sunday and was heading for the countryside in North Bend to fire rounds when he heard about National Ammo Day.

“I think it’s a great idea. It sends the message that firearms aren’t going away,” he said. “You can’t take out one part of the Constitution without ruining all of it.”

The thought of Monday as National Ammo Day, a period dedicated to buying bullets to support the Second Amendment, might send shivers down the backs of some Seattle residents.

But Second Amendment supporters are encouraging law-abiding gun owners to buy 100 rounds Monday to back manufacturers, gun stores and ranges.

“It’s important to have this right for self-defense to defend your family and property. It also protects people’s right to go hunting,” said Mark Taff, executive director of the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

“As a last resort, it protects us against tyranny from our government.”

The amendment, he added, is worthless unless supporters have bullets and places to shoot.

The Nixon comparison is the AP writers. You can read the entire article here. It’s not a real wedding but so many before… it’s not about the piece of paper. The expansion of Gay Marriage will be seen as the grass roots effort it likes to be seen as.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mayor John Street, once regarded as an enemy of the gay community for opposing same-sex partner benefits, is to preside over his first same-sex commitment ceremony this weekend.

Street said he was asked to officiate at the ceremony for Ryan Bunch and Micah Mahjoubian, a longtime colleague, on Saturday at City Hall.

“Micah is my friend. He has been in my campaign and has been in my administration for eight years,” Street said. “I’ve come to respect him as a person, and if this is something he would like for me to do, then I’d like to do it for him.”

About 125 guests are expected at the ceremony, which will have no legal weight since Pennsylvania prohibits gay marriage.

“It’s not marriage. It’s not real marriage. They can’t be married,” said Street, a Seventh-day Adventist. “It’s not a religious ceremony. I mean, it’s not really marriage.”
