Mark Koernke discussed firearms procurement and assembly during the second hour of his afternoon show on December 4, 2013. He promoted deals on Korean AK-47 40-round magazines ($99.99 for 10) and AR-15 barrels from CenterFire Systems and AIM Surplus, addressing widespread shortages of these components. The show featured extended caller discussion about building AR-15s affordably using 80% receivers, bolt carrier groups, and alternative sourcing strategies. Koernke and callers analyzed ATF enforcement patterns, particularly retroactive harassment of AR-15 owners in the 1970s, and warned that proposed plastic gun legislation would likely result in arbitrary enforcement against existing firearms. The episode emphasized ammunition scarcity, brass salvage opportunities in Arizona, and reloading as preparedness strategies.

In fact, what everybody should be doing is getting up and leading. Well, you're going to have to rest the whole room. Well, I'm just saying, typically when you're at any of these events, the secret police try to tell you, you can't leave. Once you're there, you're there, you can't even get up and use the bathroom. I've been there for these things. That's disgusting. That's why I said today I'd know better. Really? Well, here's how it works. I'm either going to go use the bathroom or I'm going to pee right here. And I don't have any problems because it looks like everybody's a man here in this room. And since you don't want us to leave the room, I won't. Hold still. This is common aim for your leg. Don't they wouldn't like that one either. Anyway, we should have Edward back there somewhere and There we go The music should be coming up here. I knew it was there somewhere. Anyway, it's been a busy week guys and here it is. It's only Wednesday. Wait a minute. It's already Wednesday. Let's put it that way. Party on the beach this Saturday. Party on the beach this Saturday. Party on the beach this Saturday. Cool.

U-Brock, keep him in the fight, beat him round hard. Remember guys, they're all over, when another bullet into the flat target lane there, typically that'll finish his job. Here at least, we'll make sure they don't come back to this for a long, long time. They won't be loading no magazines. Or readers. Just keeping a lot on the radio. Or just actually like the one under the water tower at Waco, he just was mumbling a lot. They couldn't get him off the radio. Not the radio, they wouldn't jump. So they couldn't hear him anyway. And he is minding just talking normally. Well, Dom, go ahead and take your number for night vision closes, please. Yes, 231-796-8458. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless America.

He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right. You pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for whence he came, his words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Bless you, I bless this world. Good. Uh oh, we got the 10 days of Christmas deal going on at center for our deal of the day More on that in just a minute here, guys. Whoa. Anyway, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm are quirky. And I'm hoping Darryl will be there. Darryl will. Well, OK. And we'll continue. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, south, southwest, east. and North. Well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet technologies. East and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida, across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big jump in Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Fifth Third and Fifth, and the Seven Sisters on the left side of the state, each transmitter, each micro, in a different valley, and the only radio in the valley. So, hey, you're listening on your own car radio. Isn't it a miracle? Otherwise, you'd be listening to, because there isn't anything else there. Waiting in the left coast. We turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of Mississippi, and land on the smokey, slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant, cruise, gravity teams, OK teams, the Ma'a Bill, Grammar Consortium, bring us the Golden Spike. Do we have Beryl with us? I heard another ding, and I'm hoping that maybe Star Six is on mute. Okay, well again we're going to proceed guys. The date today is the 4th of December. No way. Yes way. 4th of December it is the fifth year of open PBM Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2013 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town Calendar. Real quick, it's a matter of personal choice here. The biggest problem is how do you carry them? Right now they have 10 Korean AK-47 40 round mags, phosphate, that's a parker I was finishing, phosphate finished, brand new AK-47 magazines, 40 rounders for $100, that's $10 a mag. Those are pretty big mags, not super big. They're really not as large as you might think, but they're big. They're 10 rounds bigger than the standard 30-rounder, so they do require a different mag pouch. Let me give you a little hint. The pod pouches that are made for the paintball assault rigs work quite well for a lot of the big mags because they're adjustable. They're Velcro closure, of course, but they're adjustable height. which means that they can handle things that are bigger. So you might want to take that into consideration and again more on another point, a direction to go for that to do a little experimenting because you need to know what the height of the mag is. Again CenterFireSystems.com CenterFireSystems.com CenterFireSystems.com 1-800-950-1231 1-800-950-1231 It's on the front page, can't miss it. Package of 10. Korean. AK47, 40 round bags, 7.62x39, steel, phosphate finish, $100. No, no Mark, they're under $100. Oh, that's true, it's $99.99. Hold on. I'll throw the penny in there. $100. Okay. Now this expires at 1 PM on Friday, December 6, 2013 or while quantities last. We were just talking about squad gun and volume fire operators. Well, if you don't want to go with the drums or if you want to back up your drums with additional supply, these 40 rounders are what the RPK gunners carry. Remember that? The RPK squad gunner in a Russian fire team? They carry 40 round or drum mags for their AK for their RPK. Doesn't mean they can't use regular AK mags. They can't. It's a regular AK as far as the basic receiver goes. The squad guns are heavily reinforced just like the SBD sniper rifle so that they can take more full auto abuse. Okay, because they're sustaining fire. So, let's see, Korean, 10, Korean AK-47, 40 round mags. 760 by 39, steel, Fos 8 finished. These are brand new. $99.99. I don't know what the shipping is on these. You're going to have to find out. The item number is EPKG-001. Again, that's EPKG-001. Now you won't hear me say this very often, but with the price of 45s up around, well the base model they got for $400 actually would be worth going to. If they have these in stock and that varies up and down, the 45s that they have are averaging $450 to about $580 or $600 apiece. They have Glocks, at least they did the other day, they had Glocks through center fire systems for $350, $360 and $380 apiece respectively. To be quite honest, for the money you'd save of a 40 caliber Glock, if you don't have a 40 cal, go to a 40 caliber Glock unless you can find a high point. For $350 right now, it's reasonably priced pistol. Now that's through. That is through CenterFireSystems.com also. They do have a couple other items that might be of use to it. Check out the prices. See if it's reasonable or fits your wallet. Maybe I'll just drive over and pick this stuff up. But there are no $200 or $250 or $300 AKs out there unless you find something used and laying around now. It's basically where you're going to have to go. So, again, remember guys, this is a good deal just for the mags. I don't know about the rest. They do have some 760x39 ammunition, sealed 10, 700 rounds of Romanian for $170. Again, it's $169.99 and it's free shipping though. Now that makes that worthwhile. So with free shipping it's $1.99. My average price, again 700 rounds, 762x39, 123 grain FM shapes, what I like. And sealed tin of remaining ammunition AM 762, 700. The price is $170 postage paid. postage paid. But the 10 40-rounder 8K mags is the big thing on the shelf there right now. Check it out and pass it on to other people. If you got somebody else that needs 8K mags, by the way these are brand new mags, doesn't mean you have to load 40 rounds into a 40-rounder. You can load 38, 39, whatever you feel comfortable with. How do you like that? There's no regulation. If you have a 40-round mag, you must load 40 rounds into it. If you have a 30-round mag, you must load 30 rounds. There's nothing that says that. Just something to think about there for those who are worried about well is reliability varying again for $10 apiece They're Korean the Koreans don't make junk. Okay, they may be doing things fast like Americans do As far as when they're you know again trying to catch up on market I know that happens But pretty much these mags are since they're brand new they'll probably need to you want to wear them in They should be fine as is most the guys have bought these AK mags or Korean have had no problem with them at all and especially the guys that are buying quantity here. In fact, once they hear about this, these may not last through to Friday. We'll see what happens. I'm going to be spreading the word out through our Facebook and any other sources too. Plus, I've got to make some calls tonight. So again, CenterForSystems.com, there's one solution right off the bat for everybody out there. Also, AIM Surplus. Now guys, I've had several emails. We had some conversation in the Facebook and also in another chat room and actually a blog. about AR-15 barrels. I've heard this over and over again about trying to find AR-15 barrels. I understand the problem. It has been a problem for more than a few months now. If you find a source, people don't even want to let somebody know because they really, really, really want to get theirs first. We're not talking about spending $1,000 on an upper barrel. To me, that's okay. If you've got the money for that, I'm not going to poo-poo it, but that's not our niche. That ain't going to work for us. In fact, even $200 or $300 for a barrel by itself is way too much. Now AIM surplus has, wasn't out there still in stock is a good question, they've got some Bosburg OEM 16 inch, I don't like the 16 inch but I'll live with it. Like I told the guys the other day, if you can't get any more 20 inch barrels because they're just not showing up, go to the 16.5s or whatever, okay. 2, 3, 5, 5, 6, AR15 barrels for $99.95. I would say I'll throw the nickel in again. $100. So there's a barrel. I don't know how many they have. I don't know how long they'll last. I really can't tell you, to be quite honest. If they have them in stock and they're available to see special holiday pricing, regularly $119.95, And Mark should be slapping the microphone because they sold out. I checked this midday. I had to go out and work in the yard here. I mean, get some work done that had to be done. Oh man, between the middle of the day and this afternoon they sold out of these. The Mossberg barrels are gone. I do not believe, please notify if they get the product again. So I guess they're not taking back orders and I would do a back order on it. But the barrels are already gone. Now if you do run into air barrels, if you are interested in yourself, I'm going to say the same thing I said earlier. I haven't mentioned a few things on the air guys because I want to get what I want. I'm serious. And I still haven't until I get a confirmation that the stuff is in motion. Then we'll mention it on the air because there have been some great prices on some stuff. But I know talking to them that they were limited. In this case, those Mossberg barrels for $100 apparently were probably one of the best prices around the country or at least have been. That was reasonable. I mean, they're gone. Then you're going to have to go and scour the system to see who else might have one. In effect, if you do have some place you've noticed in the chat room, guys, post it so people can spread the word and clear them out. The big thing is one of our guys for instance, he bought nine of these 80% receivers. He's got six of them done. He's having to go to another barrel and it's probably going to be a 16.5. We haven't able to find any 20s for any good price. There are some H-bars out there, great barrels, but it's not what he wants to build. So we're going to go to the 16s or 16.5s and those. Go ahead, caller, who do we have? Hey, this is me, here. Well, let's say what I found was the cheapest for barrels, I think they still have them, is Midway. They had some for around $100. Probably the cheapest way that you can probably, I don't think, price-wise too, is Apex Gun Parts has complete, has offers for $275. I know they're the 16-inch barrel, but anyways, you have to live with it. But the LEM4, they're good receivers. You do that and you can now, I'm seeing several places, or say, center fire systems. and $100 for like $70. Right, they've got it out for about $89. $80 to $89 will get you a bolt carrier. That's a basic phosphate finish, nothing fancy, and that's good enough for what we're doing here. And you do that and then you can go to Centerfire or I want to say, Ask the Classic in several of the other places, you could do a complete problem or lower. If you don't mind the F8, do the paper You can do a complete $60, so less than $500, you can still do an AR-15, and fairly good quality. If you don't want to do the paperwork, Apex Come Parts, they have a kit, a little over $500, everything minus the receiver. So if you want to avoid the paperwork, it's going to cost probably $75 to $100. pretty good deal. But at this point in time, the 80% lowers you can buy from Ares. Ares Armor has the entire internal group with a pistol grip for $39.95. That's in their closeouts and clearance section. So you could find a buttstock for about $20 to $30 right now, a CAR 15 M4 type. That's probably better off at Mark. I think going to Centerfire, they had some sales for $40 that included the bus stop, the buffer, the tube, and the spring, and the kit. I'm having a hard time finding all the pieces, a piece in and out, so it's almost better to find the, do the kit from I think from Centerfire Systems. And they have a good upper too that they're selling for I think $300 or something too. They have 20 inch uppers I think still available too. Yeah, the 20 and I would say again the 20 would be the first choice. And I know guys, well no I want an M4, no you want as much barrel as you can to get as much energy out of that bullet as we possibly can. There'll be plenty M4s on the battlefield to pick up. Don't worry, they'll be out there. You'll find them. And again, like you said, let's see, right on the front page for Apex, they have the Air 15 ZM4 upper receiver with 16 inch barrel, $275. Now that's without the bolt carrier. Now they want, and of course that's without the charging handle too. So remember, it's funny how the charging handle has become such an express item now. You know, years ago that was a trinket item, and it should be, but it is the one thing because of all the FM rejects that the government made. Now, most Americans don't know that the AR-15 parts inventory, the M16 parts inventory was eaten up in two years when they first started producing FN M16s. The krypomatic FNs broke left, right, and I don't think they did that accidentally. They ended up giving us junk parts. We did not punish FN the way they should have. So what happened is a bunch of DPM and a bunch of coal and a bunch of other American parts ended up on those stinking Fabrique Nationale d'Armes d'Gere rifles because their junk didn't work. But they laughed their arse off because like everything else they screwed us. Then they used up the parts inventory. Oh, and then they kind of got around to making things right. So the problem is that's where the charging handle has become such a critical issue where in the past You know guys, I can never recall up until FM got into this where somebody would grab a charging handle and they would break off in your hands. But that's what happened with the first batch of FM's that came into service with guys that I trained. Years ago they came and said, Mark, you'll never believe what happened. So now all of a sudden we have specialized charging handles and extra clapper flappers and all kinds of their good doodads that they've added which of course now has driven the price up almost to the price of what we used to pay for and still pay for old bolt carrier. Which really gets me. It's like guys. What do you think took more work? Making that charging handle or making that whole bolt carrier with the bolt and yet right now I guarantee I can find I can show you charging handles that cost 89 $100 apiece out there right now. Oh, yeah Bravo company and I don't you know some of them are nice, but I really don't. I mean I'm looking at Apex, they just shot at one place, but I wouldn't. They want $60 for a Colt charging handle. Yeah, which we used to buy the entire kit and still shouldn't be buying it. It's more than $65 for the whole thing. We paid for that, but come on guys, remember we paid for that years ago, our tax dollars. I know what's happening and what they're doing. They're cutting up perfectly good rifles. That's the kicker on this too. They're cutting up M16A1s in these international zones. I don't know if they're chopping the barrels up. I know we've seen some with cut barrels, but I don't think there's anything that says they have to destroy the barrels. If they're in the international zones, like what they're doing with the MG34s is they take all the parts that they have to take off and they just pile them up on the shelf for other weapons they have overseas. and they market it back out. Whereas, again, if they have barrels, even though it might be a used barrel, it's a serviceable barrel that can be put back into another weapon someplace. Otherwise, even some of these AR-15 kits, they're either not providing any of the parts of the barrels, or they're again chopped into four pieces but I've seen very few with the barrels provided and I think that's rather interesting. They're all missing barrels and receivers and they have everything but that. What will you expect because it's a class 3 so they're not going to give us the lower receiver unless it's cut. Apex has some of the cut receivers in the colts. They're chopped into so many pieces they are literally nothing but scrap metal. and there's nothing to do with the aluminum for the most part anyway, but the barrels, they're just not showing up chopped or lopped, except in a very, very rare exception. So my figure there is that they've got them stacked off to the side in the international zones. Again, this is inside the US. These weapons are not cut up overseas. For our listeners, these weapons are cut up inside the US. These are those new communist Chinese favorable international zones while these other companies have set up there. Even though it is on American real estate, and even though I think their logic is this, if things really went to hell in a hand cart, some of these guys load up the truck and run down the road with the barrels and make a fortune off them during the war prize years. people are going to want the barrels. People are going to want all these parts. As long as they don't chop them up now, they might be able to slide them through the gate before everything goes to hell in a handcart. Because they're piling the stuff up. I've seen some of the images. The stuff is there, but it just can't go past the fence. And it's either that or they cut it up and offer it with a kit. In other words, they bring it out. And I think the other reason they don't want to do that now is like I said, give me a barrel cut in three pieces and I'll give you three guns. It's that simple. In fact, think about it. Let's say you take an AR-15 barrel and if they don't chop the chamber, which is of course one of the things they have been doing a lot of, even if they chop the chamber, there's more than enough meat to make a whole lot of other weapons out of those barrels. That's one of the reasons they've taken the barrels off of these kits. That's why they've done the damage to them the way they have. Now what the criteria is, here's another thing, as you'll notice with most of these companies, they do offer some guns with the barrels intact. How did those get in? Or what is the criteria for deciding whose barrels are going to be chopped up? You know what I mean? That's the other thing against me. It's like, OK, who determined this? How is it that this one isn't and the other AK next to it is? Or they don't like Bulgaria, but they do like Romania. And they don't like Romania next week, but they do like Bulgaria next week? What is it? Because that is a big question mark. It demonstrates just how arbitrary this BS is. And it shouldn't be, but it is. So, you know, something we have to live with until, you know, again, we have to deal with it with regard to how we are, you know, putting these weapons together. Definitely we can't do it, guys. There are, and there are American counterparts and pieces available, which is the other thing. Tapco, I know as soon as I mention that, you know, uh... I mean, a lot of guys are like, Tapco, it's like, hey guys, Tapco makes a lot of stuff that wasn't really Tapco to begin with anyway. Most people don't realize Tapco is actually about nine different companies that used to be small, independent, American companies that were absorbed by that Tapco consortium. The companies themselves don't make the parts, but they're under the Tapco flag because they were bought out one at a time. Well, yeah. Netco isn't the greatest brand, but they're usually usable products. Exactly. Netco, yeah, I mean, how do any of their products now work? And one of the product co-makes that people don't know that is, for the AR-15, most common is the buttstock. You know, the standard car being a buttstock. That's all made by Catwood. Whatever it sounds, Stag Arms, you know, So, whoever it says on there, that's all capco parts. They just do it as a contract phone. I'll put your logo on it and that space right there. What do you want? That's exactly how they do it too. Well, again, the heads up there. Apex has got a bunch of other parts kits in stock right now, including a whole bunch of AK-47 kits that are Apparently, you go and they did pick up a whole bunch of... Of course, they also have an RPG-2 if you want to dewot. If you wanted one at least for familiarization, the RPG-2, or for, you know, to give you maybe ideas. If you look at something and understand how it's put together, you might get a better understanding for how it is that can be built in the future. I don't care for it to be activated. I don't need it to be, as long as I know how the trigger group is affixed, how the tube itself, how it's constructed, etc., etc., etc. The idea is that by having patterns, I can in the future get ideas. And I don't have to guess about how things work. I can actually see how things work. That's why with a lot of these kids, guys, there's some that we pick up, not because we even plan on putting them together. I just want the dimensions and the patterns so that down the road, if we decide we have this and some of that, and we start piling up a certain amount of other things, well guys you can put them together and come up with an end of solution that actually is pretty decent. It's like I said, these barrels, the 223 barrels, neck down 223 shorted case, that allows you to actually, you know, think about an AR-15, there are already a couple companies making variations on this. Have the case, use damaged cases, knock it down to half the length, Taper the case accordingly to 223 and your chamber reamer to build your chamber is specced out to use less. You'll wear down the tooling less, easier for you to get the job done to create that single shot whatever or gas operated whatever depending upon what you're building. and you build the case to fit whatever existing magazine may be available that's actually in a pistol type or a submachine gun type mag. Shorten it down to the point where it's actually a little, again, a little zip assault cartridge. Need I remind everybody, 357 Fig. Okay, what is 357 Fig? It's a tapered down conventional case, guys, to 357. It's a bottleneck pistol case. You get disproportionate performance out of a little popcorn fart case. far beyond what you would anticipate by the very nature of the physics of the fire chamber and the energy applied to the base of the bullet within the allowed space. A little 223 micro-assault round would be a real neat solution. The other thing to think about also, Mark, is that we talked about the 223 cases. They come out wrong, whatever, they get smashed or whatever. You have the 300 blackout. A lot of times what you're doing is just modifying the case and that can't down the acceptable. Even if you have 223, that isn't great that you can't reload for 223. to set that aside if you don't fire a 300 black powder, there's a lot of people that do and you can't hardly get that ammunition. With the 308 you have all the 308 variants that you can possibly reform the brass when you recase it. The 708 and the variants for the 243 that you could possibly We do the brass to accept a different bullet. If all else fails, when everything is shortened and it fractures or gets stepped on or broken, we can always switch it over to 7.62 by 25. In fact, now we're at the point with the 7.62 by 25 ammunition really drying up like I warned you about, guys. I remember when I said buy these, I also told you buy all the ammunition you can and don't go down to the range and just spit it out. Remember, we're buying these guns as combat weapons. However, here's the thing. Now the ammunition has run its course mostly because the stuff is going into war zones. It's not that there isn't a pile of 7.60x25 out there. It's going to Syria. It's going to the Arab states. It's going to Africa. There's a lot of peppy submachine guns in Africa. Just because they always show you those AKs doesn't mean that's all that's in service. Communist China gifted a whole bunch of Peppier submachine guns and SKS's. They didn't want to give them the AK's, but what they gave us gifts were the Peppier 41's, the Peppier 43's, and the SKS carbine. A lot of countries on the eastern side of Africa have a ton of SKS's laying around too. So, again, they want spare parts, they need ammunition, they need stripper clips. A lot of this stuff that would normally come into the American market, even though they're trying to pump them into the low end ARs and the low end AKs. AKs are a drug on the market right now. M16s are a drug on the market. That's why you're seeing these Colt kits showing up, guys. That Colt M16, if it were on the render evolution market, I'll bet you it's going for no more than $45, maybe $50. Because there are so many of them. There are already M16A2's. Everybody else has got something out there too and everybody is trying to do the one up thing. The original families of AK's are $50 to $150 depending on where you are and how pressed that country is for capital and how much of a need there is for weapons plus restrictions. Obviously they are trying to block them from getting gun. The gun runners are going to charge what the market will bear. But the M16A1, which to me personally, I prefer that over the newer M16s. If I were going to outfit a whole bunch of discipline troops, I would want the A1 because the A1 has real selective fire. It doesn't have three round bursts only. It has real selective fire. Now, the later guns are a mish-mish depending on what you got. Some M4s have selective fire full. And again, it was purely a matter of contract and who it is and what window it was purchased. But the M16A1s, hey, they've been broken in. Any problems they had don't exist. They're pretty well again, they're not tired to the point where they're worn out, but they're serviceable field grade. And that would probably be my first choice. If I want to dress them out, I could take the sandbag stocks off, put some round stocks off, and make you go, ooh, M16A2s until you got close and saw the sights. See, so it wouldn't make any difference. But the thing is, out there in the market, that's where again, all these cases guys we talked about the other day, if you're in Arizona and you're listening right now and you've got these ranges where these valleys are, where the brass is just laying everywhere guys, I mean it just literally is. You should be going out with 5 gallon pails and harvesting all that money now. I can't believe somebody hasn't already been doing it. If I were out of work and I was in Arizona, I'd go get myself a tired pickup truck and I would outfit it with hoppers and bins. And that's all I would be doing. I could take the old, the crunched up, crushed up and sell it for scrap, although it's really a terrible thing to do. But if it's really crunched, crushed, and smashed up and shot up a little bit or something, because sometimes people fire into other areas, that stuff goes into scrap for cash and pays for my gas. But the other stuff, oh no, I'd be sorting everything by its category and type. Hell, some of those places that people have carried millions of rounds in, you're talking about how many thousands and thousands of dollars worth of brass laying there, guys. Arizona is dry on a popcorn part. They get a rain season maybe, but for the most part, that stuff's going to be sitting there staring at you, laying on the ground, waiting for you to pick up the money. And if it is damaged and it's like mildly damaged, like we said, figure out what it can be built into. I'm getting into reloading. In fact, I wouldn't even worry about the reloading. Here's what most people don't realize. There's a lot of people looking for just the brass right now, guys. In the specialized rounds, if you have the dies, you invest in a set of carbide dies. You reform the stuff, mic it out to spec, ream it for length, and sell the brass as is. Deprimen it. So it's de-primed, reconfigured brass, and it's offered for somebody else who reloads. They're going to run it through their die anyway. Midway, you mentioned Midway earlier, Midway guys, that was their forte, was virgin or recycled, reprocessed brass. That's what made Midway. They don't even do a tiff of the business. They used to be the company to go to. Midway had its own stamp and did millions of empty cases. Millions and millions. People who are reloading at Midway, they have the simple reloading kits. It's only about $20 or $30 depending on the caliber. What I'm trying to do is with my cash is I'm trying to put one in for the cash. I don't know how many other people are doing that, but it's a very inexpensive way of leaving some material in the direction so no one gets themselves hurt. I'm not the person around, but I think it's a great way to leave in your cash so that when you use the glass you have the ability Even if it's not necessarily everything's there, you have the ability to reload. It's an inexpensive, very simple system. Exactly. One of the things here too is the more machinery we have out there and the more that we buy, the bottom line is the stuff will be replaced, hopefully. Remember guys, in order for the inventory to cycle, in order for there to be more out there, we have to move what is there in the inventory. Now, not in all categories are we seeing a successful replacement. So it behooves you, number one, to pick up what you need. And if you're crossing your fingers, hopefully they'll replace the inventory. You'll get the second or third one you need for either your own caches or because other people want to do the same thing that you're doing because you're teaching them. But one way or another, the idea is that we need to get the machinery in motion. We need them to be replacing, in other words, building more so that we have more. This was something I've talked about for why I promoted the ammunition idea for all these years and people were, well, they'll always be there. Well, obviously, now it's not. But had everybody pressed it, had everybody in the Patriot Movement done what they should have and were supposed to do to promote a well-rounded militia and armed population, Guys, we would have been pressing the production 10 years earlier. 20 years, or I mean as it is, we did, to a degree, but there are people who were petty wasting who did the, well, maybe next year I'll tell you to buy a gun. What are you talking about? Well, wait until next year and I'll cost four times as much for the ammunition you could have bought for four cents around. And had we bought it at four cents around, back when they weren't restricting the import, we'd have had more of the imported stuff in country. See how that works? The more you buy, the more the importer has the way of capital. He goes back out and buys it while nobody's thinking about it before they go stupid on the price, and he brings more into the United States, and it's cheaper. And that means you get a better price and you combine more. That's what I was arguing then, and I guess what? I'm going to rub this in. I was and I am right. That's not beating my I'm just saying what pisses me off as much as anything is a bunch of these characters you have to question what the hell they're even thinking about or who they're working for because of what they've done and it's been a disservice to the Patriot movement across the board and It has failed our people Mark we got George there to go ahead jump in there What you heard about the house voting to blamp damp plastic guns mark I've kind of seen like the horse really left the barn long ago on this I don't really think no matter what they do It's not for the purpose of stopping, it's for the purpose of it's another angle to go after the ones that are already in production. What you're going to see, you've got to remember you're dealing with the bat faggots. Bat faggots are totally arbitrary in all decisions. You put this into place or if they expand upon it, which remember they will amend it immediately, it will already be amended when they go in. Once they've amended it with the open specs, bat faggots will determine the criteria It will be of course challenged, meanwhile people will lose firearms, people will be attacked, it will cost Americans a whole fortunes of legal money, which is all BS, it's just going to pad the lawyers pockets and that's all they're doing with this. And yep, eventually a win but it's like 1977, that was the benchmark here. Carter told him to go after the AR-15s back in 1976-77. Because of that, the Batpagots using arbitrary enforcement attacked everybody and anybody for having an Air 15. No matter what it was, that was the policy. Everybody forgets this. I'm rubbing everybody's nose in this for a reason. You see, because what they'll do, don't think about it. How can we believe anything about them with regard to enforcement anymore, considering what we've already seen? But this is historically what they did. An arbitrary evaluation and an arbitrary enforcement policy. If you had an AR-15, the Batbagets were harassing people at the gun shows, and you've got all kinds of plastic guns out there. How many Glocks are out there? Everybody goes, oh, where are they? Where are they? That's my Glock. Well, only law enforcement should have plastic guns like that. And what about some of those STIRs and what about some of those HKs that have plastic? And this goes back to 1964, 1965, and then leading up to the Gun Control Act of 1968 where they tried this before. HK had several plastic guns already going into service, not unlike the basic idea of the Glock. Except they were bigger because in order to get the polymer work, they were kind of lumpy. However, and that's why I always laugh because when everybody goes, oh, high point, there's this snootiness about the high point pistol. Guys, the high point pistol to me looks just like an HK from 1964. If you compare the HK family of pistols that were developed at that time, there were two things that we're trying to do, simplify materials and simplify design. The other thing is that they broke the gun down, I think, to 11 parts. Most everything was done with on component machining and at first was done with infusion casting with plastic and infusion casting with metal. But that eliminated a good portion of the tooling that was needed, number one. Number two is they minimize the number of working parts and the objective behind this was to make the gun as quickly as possible, crank out as many as they could, throw it in the hands of a soldier and he's got a gun that goes pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Do you think they will try to go retroactive to go after the... Yes, they absolutely... They are arbitrary. What did I just say? Arbitrary enforcement. Here is how they are going to do it. I think that gun is illegal. What do you mean? Don't you have any criteria? Well, I am not sure. So we are going to have to take George's gun. George, I will take your gun and I am going to have to take... Oh, by the way, since I am looking at your gun eye, I think that is illegal. I have to search your house. See, think about how they just think about what they're doing on California right now. Hi, we're coming here. We want we want to search your house for guns. You have a warrant? Oh, we all need a warrant. In fact, since you said that we're going to arrest you for suspicion of having a gun. I mean, how how bass-ackwards is that? They're already doing it. Well, they didn't California didn't think that up on their own. This is all BS that came from H. Handgun Control Incorporated, from the foundations and from the gun grabbers. It's the format for what you're going to see nationally, but it's not new. The Bat Faggots did the same thing. I'm talking retroactive with the AR-15s. If you had an AR-15 and you had a flash hider on it, They attacked you for having a flash hider. If you had a long flash hider and it looked like a CAR-15 flash hider, well that could be a psionic suppressor and we need to take your gun and confiscate your gun and we're going to arrest you. They all knew that it wasn't a psionic suppressor. They knew it wasn't. They already were told, they already knew before they even touched your rifle. They did that just purely to harass and attack and try to eat out your substance. The problem is they messed with enough people who had money so they could go after their arse with the law and they did. Mark, speaking of plastic, I can see them going arbitrarily, going after the older AR-15 to add the plastic that was made from Mattel to the company. They all had plastic. Even the new ones, okay, here's the thing. We're talking about the collapsible stock. Most of the collapsible stocks are now completely polymer. This is my point. You see, it's going to be a matter of, they're going to come up with some percentage, they're going to come up with some guidelines, and what they'll do, let's put it this way, if they can't get you on something, they get a gun. Let's go back to this guy. We're almost out of time here. The sergeant member in Wisconsin, where he loaned his AR-15 out to another guy and the gun went pop, pop. In other words, when he had fired it, released it to the trigger. It had a sear problem, so it double tapped. And all of a sudden all these parasite pigs that were on the range turned and swarmed down this guy and, you know, who's right over there? What do you know? You have a machine gun. Of course what they did is they then called in the bat faggots and of course the kid said, oh I borrowed this from this guy. Well the guy was vocal so that they, what it was is certain ammunition combined with other issues, with the weapon was an Olympic gun, Olympic arms. Well, the Bat Faggots got it and they fired regular Remington ammunition and the weapon wouldn't, they actually took it to the Bat Faggot range, to the Bat Faggot laboratory. They fired it and couldn't get it to go select. So then they said, oh, I'll take it back and do this and this and this and use this ammunition. Now, this means that they knew that there was a flaw, there was a problem, and it was a unique problem. And it wasn't that the guy had selectively changed the weapon or anything. And because of that, that guy went to federal prison. Now, that's arbitrary. That's a demonstration of repeated arbitrary activity and enforcement. And they knew. So it's disingenuous and it does not in any way, shape or form try to keep any criminals out there. They want to make criminals of people. It doesn't stop any crime because there wasn't any crime. That's the kind of harassment. What they'll do is they'll say, well, in our opinion, and until somebody takes them to court and spends $60,000 with some law whore, what's going to happen is that they're going to continue to harass people. And if they get away with it once where nobody challenges it, then they'll send an email out and they'll send a special edict out through the NCIC telling all the cop shops, if you see anybody with one of these clock pistols, here's the scam that you can use. We've already used this in Region 1, but bat faggots have successfully done blah blah blah blah blah. And what they'll do is all these other pigs will all follow the guidelines sent out through the NCIC, through their little laptop computers, in their car. Some of them will be good people, others will be SOBs. This is what they did in 77. Totally arbitrary. Well, no, they know that's not an M16. They know it's not full auto. They didn't care what it is. And they knew that there were lots and lots and lots of cold AR semi-autos and all these other American-made guns that were coming out at the time. And they didn't care because they are criminals. They're just rotten-minded skunks. Now, we're not going to go through this again. And it's so late in the game. Let me ask you something. George, something's going to kick this off anyway. Good. Go ahead and do this. I said this the other day and that guy was anti-gunner, I said good, you just go ahead and tell him to try that and see what happens. Instead of doing the, oh my god, please don't hurt me! So we all need to take that attitude. God bless the Republic. That's in your world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on the run. We are on the march, day and night. Hurrah!
