There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Nobody Listening? Buy a canon, its legal…
By: Joe Blow
Are you tired of not being heard? Are you fed up with being ignored? Have
you simply given up? Do you go about your daily business knowing that
things are totally screwed up while feeling helpless to change them? Are
you engaged in a slow burn, hoping that something will happen to allow you
to blow off some steam? While you’re waiting for the next revolution to
start, I’ve got an interim solution for you–get a cannon. Firing it is a
great catharsis.
I’ve done your homework for you. Cannons are legal (and loud!) You can
order by phone or online and have one (or several) delivered right to your
door. Ammo will also be shipped directly to you, no questions asked, with
no middle man, and no problems. You do not have to pay a special tax,
receive any special training, or hold any kind of qualification to buy (or
fire) a cannon.
The BATF will not kick your door down or lock you up because you have one.
You don’t need some bureaucrat’s permission to design, build, purchase,
ship, own, store, or fire a cannon. You don’t need a permit, certificate,
or license of any kind. You don’t have to register it with the government
or even have to tell your local police, but they may show up the first
time you fire it. (Your call if you wish to inform them in advance.) You
don’t even have to be 18 to buy a cannon. Anyone with access to a phone
and a credit card can instantly purchase a cannon in this country. Really.
How can this be? By federal law, the BATF classifies saluting cannons as
signaling devices, they are not weapons or firearms. Even black powder
firing cannons are legal, but they aren’t very cheap, especially the
larger ones. I’ve seen models that shoot golf balls and others that shoot
bowling balls. The sky is the limit. The biggest problem is deciding which
type and model of cannon to buy. The menu of available cannons can truly
be described as a smorgasboard, it is long and varied.
You can spend as little as $50 for a simple carbide cannon or as much as
$3000 for a fancy black powder saluting cannon. Firing cannons come in
many different sizes and the price corresponds to their size. There are
several good cannon websites, but www.cannon-mania.com is arguably the
best. They sell all kinds of cannons–saluting, firing, kits, even made-to-
order. If they don’t have what you want, they can probably find it (or
build it) for you.
After six hours of shopping online, I purchased a Winchester cannon. It
shoots 10 gauge black powder blanks and is very loud–121 db measured 25
feet laterally from the muzzle. If you just want to make a lot of noise
with plenty of white smoke, a Winchester cannon is hard to beat. There are
five models currently in reproduction, ranging in price from $415 to $895.
Blanks are available from Vawter Ammunition, Inc. I bought six boxes (150
rounds) for $108.50 including shipping. That’s a whole 72 cents per round.
You must have some celebration coming up that would benefit from the
addition of a cannon….Birthday? Anniversary? Labor Day? Super Bowl? New
Year’s Eve? Saturday? Let’s get real, any excuse will do….
