The front page of today's Mitchell paper has this:
When the federal government proposed an update to regulations regarding a common type of rifle ammunition, Eric Krietlow was shocked.
"I just figured they would change the rules without asking for any public comment, and that would be that," he said.
The federal government received public input, and a lot of it. More than 80,000 people, including Krietlow, contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Most opposed a proposal that would have banned the sale and manufacture of the 5.56 millimeter bullet, known commonly as the M855 "green tip" ammunition. It is commonly used in an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, and the ATF wanted to prevent the bullet from being used in AR-15 handguns.
Krietlow said of all the research he did on the topic, he couldn't find any information about the ammunition that would fit the ATF's own rules about armor piercing ammunition.
"I really don't know why it was on the table in the first place," he said. "There's nothing about those rounds that meets their classifications, and it's really mind boggling."
The outcry from gun rights groups and conservative lawmakers in Washington, D.C., called the proposal an attack on Americans' Second Amendment rights, especially for hunters. Nebraska-based Cabela's, which has a store in Mitchell, joined many other sellers and manufacturers in an online campaign against the proposal and encouraged people to send their comments to the ATF.
The ban did have some support, including an editorial from The New York Times. The law, the editorial said, is clear: Armor-piercing handgun ammunition has been banned for nearly 30 years, which is needed to protect police officers from being shot and killed.
At least not everyone is fooled by the deception coming out of the anti-American movements. But how many understand that the anti-American multicultural movement is what fueled the latest high profile cop killing:
Two police officers were shot during a protest outside Ferguson, Missouri, police headquarters early on Thursday, police said, just hours after the city's police chief quit following a damning U.S. Justice Department report into his force.
The shooting of the officers, who were in serious condition at a hospital, was the latest incident in months of turmoil in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, which has been at the center of an intense national debate over police use of force, particularly against black men, since a white officer killed an unarmed black teenager there in August.
Multicultural indoctrination is just one aspect of the cultural Neo-Marxist agenda. It fosters racist hatred toward whites. It's mission is about destroying Western culture and replacing it with a New Age worldview. In South Dakota the folks that foster it conduct their hate-filled protests at Cory Heidelberger's web site.
Sibby having as many guns as we desire is what we have a right to under our Constitution to protect ourselves and help our country if need be.
It's not just guns. I'm in the process of purchasing a M60 Tank for restoration and an M113A2 Armored Personel Carrier to put on display at my property and drive once a while. I'd like to do a live fire exercise but wouldn't be able to do it here in the area. Hahaha!

Mr. Sibson,
Looking over your comments it looks like your name is included in the 1st sentence as if it was addressed to you. Is there something else that indicates this is an imposter? Otherwise I see no impersonation unless you deleted that.
Otherwise good posts!

The original label was only "Sibby" I added the impostor. I know, still confusing, but I chose not to delete them. Based on the IP, I added the DWU or Dakota Wesleyan University. Sad that we can't be up front and honest. Kind of like someone whose birth certificate says male, has a penus, but demands to be a girl.
