This Week in Guns, August 12th, 2017
 By Chris Covert Rantburg.com The State's appetite for your personal property is insatiable: Another failed Australian Gun "Buyback" You should read the text, as overseas guns smuggled in are to blame for the increasing number of firearms. No mention of the registration rate from the Gun Ban in 1996 being less than 20 percent. Canada Free Press continues to assess the impact of forced entry by Canadian Mounties into homes to seize firearms in the wake of the High River flood of 2013. It seems the justification was not fully considered before Canadian law enforcement took action. California Senator Kamala Harris this past week tried to rally her Kommie Troops by calling for a long overdue Assault Weapons Ban. The Australian Gun Ban, the River Incidents, and Harris show why you should never register your firearms. You should never buy firearms with anything other than cash, and never, ever buy firearms through the FFL system. Ever. Why? Because the Kommies are arming up. And they are like the state in their lust for the personal property of others. Loads. Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition: Pistol ammunition prices were mostly steady. Rifle ammunition prices were mostly steady. Prices for used pistols were mixed. Prices for used rifles were mixed.
