gun (87)

Barack Obama says he wants to ban more classifications of firearms because he  wants to keep Americans safe from gun crime.

Do you believe it?

I don’t.

I don’t believe Obama cares a whit about the safety of the American people – and I think I can prove it.

First of all, the statistics Obama ignores demonstrate conclusively that  firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens actually saves lives. It’s not  even a close call. This fact is illustrated further by the fact that the urban  areas that have outright banned firearms possession have become virtual shooting  galleries, with more Americans being killed in Chicago than in Iraq and  Afghanistan combined.

All that has been said before – not frequently enough, of course – but the  evidence is in on the absolute need for firearms in the hands of American  citizens if we are to remain a free and secure people.

But let me give you the indisputable proof that Obama is lying about his  concerns for the safety and well-being of the American people.

What did his administration do last week in response to the sequestration  budget cuts he himself proposed if an agreement could not be reached with  Republicans to raise taxes?

Without any reason whatsoever, other than to punish American citizens and put  them at risk of life and limb, his Department of Homeland Security pre-emptively  released thousands of illegal-alien criminals from detention. He did this like a  willful child who didn’t get his way – even though he got exactly what he asked  for, as reporter Bob Woodward has documented.

Now what happens when you release illegal-alien criminals onto the streets of  America with no tracking, no monitoring, no oversight, no paperwork? These are  not just illegal aliens who came to America looking for work. They are illegal  aliens who broke into the country and committed serious crimes. Obama’s DHS gave  them get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Does that sound like the act of someone who cares about the safety and  welfare of American citizens?

Does it make sense to disarm American citizens in the wake of actions like  that?

When police chiefs are warning Americans to arm themselves because their  departments no longer have the resources to provide adequate protection to  citizens, is this a responsible action by a caring president?

Of course not.

To top it off, local officials offered to provide facilities to hold those  illegal-alien criminals – at no cost to the federal government. Arizona Sheriff  Joe Arpaio told DHS he’d take those prisoners free of charge and house them at  his Tent City.

“I’ll take them,” he said. “I have room in my tents. I would be happy to have  them – and I wouldn’t even charge them. I would love to take them in the tents.”

Like me, Arpaio doesn’t buy the Obama administration’s story that this move  was done to cut spending.

He said: “I am always suspicious when the government that has billions of  dollars has to say, ‘We are going to release [illegal immigrants] because of  budget problems.’ I’m wary of that. They’re utilizing a budget so-called crisis  as the reason to kick these people loose. I do have a concern about that.”

Obama makes a show of compassion for average Americans, but that’s all it is – sheer demagoguery. I’m convinced his efforts along these lines are  specifically designed to create chaos, not save lives.

It’s like his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, once said: “Never let a  good crisis go to waste.” Obama doesn’t just wait for crises to happen. He  creates them and exploits them for maximum political advantage.

                        Well, here we go again with the “common sense” gun control laws.  Republican Senators are about to do their normal surrender of our rights again.  A “bi-partisan” Gang of Howmany http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senators-near-a-deal-on-background-checks-for-most-private-gun-sales/2013/02/23/d55e5f4a-7d0c-11e2-82e8-61a46c2cde3d_story.html  is sitting down behind closed doors to decide how to subvert the Constitution of the United States of America, AGAIN!!!  It matters not that We the People pay them to govern according to our Constitution, they have decided they know better than “us peasants” what is in our best interest and what will be allowed.

The Kennesaw, GA. Gun law update.

Yesterday I posted a blog about an email I received regarding a law or rather an ordinance in Kennsaw, GA. and promised to update you on this.  The following is that update.  The email read, in case you didn't read it:

“The Town of Kennesaw's GA requires all citizens to have a gun in the home and yearly home invasion incidents dropped from 65 to 26 the year after the law went into effect and down to 11 two years after the law. (Makes sense. If you have the option between breaking into a house that most likely has a gun owner and breaking into a house that doesn't...uh...which house are you going to break into?) Also, the town's overall violent crime rate dropped by ~50%, and they still have a crime rate roughly the half the average of the rest of the country. “

Compare that to D.C....highest gun violence rate in the US alongside some of the strictest gun laws (ie, stringent background checks, firearm registration, no concealed carry, no open carry, no high capacity rounds, no assault weapons, no peaceable journey--meaning, if you own a gun in another state, you're not allowed to bring it through D.C. if you're visiting or even just using their roads while traveling.) Even with all of those laws on the law-abiding citizens, they have more gun violence per capita than any state in the Union. "

 

I have tried to establish the reputation of ALWAYS checking the facts of any news type story on my blogs and did so in this case.  One must remember there are a lot of people that send out emails that contain only a passing knowledge of the facts and those they will exaggerate to their own purposes.  I communicated with a very pleasant and knowledgeable young woman that is the Public Information  Director  for the town of Kennesaw, Ga. One Pam Davis.  She was very forthcoming and never attempted to evade or obfuscate any of my queries and I wish to thank her as publicly as possible.  I could only wish there were more like her out there.

 

Kennesaw does indeed have a law similar to the one alluded to in this email; however there are several caveats.  Naturally, no felons and some other exemptions were made.  Religious convictions, etcetera.  The ordinance was enacted more as a political statement and response to some bedroom communities in the Chicago area that had passed restrictive gun laws in the early 1980’s.  Kennesaw’s was passed in 1982.  It has never been enforced.  At the time Kennesaw was a town of about 5000 on the outskirts of Atlanta with the traditional Southern conservative values.  It is now a bedroom community of approximately 30,000 with quite a different population mix.  For one thing it is the home of one of the larger Georgia universities so the population age average is quite a bit younger than in 1982.  

 

Ms. Davis has responded to a second call with amazing and gratifying alacrity.  Her answers did indeed contradict that conclusion. It was her statement that the crime rate did indeed go down significantly after that law was passed and that the present crime rate is significantly lower than other cities with similar demographics around the country.  She attributes this to the high visibility of the local police and infers the high quality of the officers employed.  This police force is one of a far too few that have been ceritified by a national organization whose name I didn't want to take her time to write down correctly.  Sorry about that.  It turns out that this is simply a nice well run southern community with good people doing their best to govern in a sane manner.  Which just may be the real story here.

 

The information on the laws and crime rates in D.C., while exaggerated, are essentially correct.  D.C  does not have the “highest gun violence rate in the US”.  That honor rotates between such places as Chicago (always one of the most violent cities in the US) , NYNY, Los Angeles, and Miami,, depending on where and who you ask and the time of year the question is asked.

I received this email from a friend.

"The Town of Kennesaw's GA requires all citizens to have a gun in the home and yearly home invasion incidents dropped from 65 to 26 the year after the law went into effect and down to 11 two years after the law. (Makes sense. If you have the option between breaking into a house that most likely has a gun owner and breaking into a house that doesn't...uh...which house are you going to break into?)

Even with all of those laws on the law-abiding citizens, they have more gun violence per capita than any state in the Union. 

Not being one to take anything at face value I had to research the veracity of this as it really did sound too good to be true.  Here is what I found.

I spoke with the Police Department in Kennesaw and asked them a simple question.  "Does your town have an ordinance requiring home owners to own and have a gun in their home?"  The answer?  A resounding YES!  I was able to confirm most of the facts contained in the above where they concerned Kennesaw from that source  and there are many news articles confirming the statistics of the D.C. area.  

Yep.  Gun control WORKS!  Give people control and crime goes way down!

I am to be allowed to interview the police chief and the city PIO later today and will update this after I have done that.

Keep up the fight Tea Partiers!  We ARE on the side of RIGHT!

VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION: Dick Act of 1902 - Gun Control FORBIDDEN! Were you aware of this law? DICK ACT of 1902 - CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) -

Protection Against Tyrannical Government It would appear that the administration is counting on the fact that the American Citizens don't know this, their rights and the constitution. Don't prove them right.

The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws.

It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. ** SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE ** The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy. The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders. The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon onal Guard.

The New American Gestapo is already a fact.

The American Gestapo is already here!

  The American Gestapo is already here and it was built with your permission and your tax dollars!  Yep, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Created after the 9-11 attacks in 2001 the DHS was created  and charged with the primary responsibilities of protecting the United States of America and U.S. territories (including Protectorates) from and responding to terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters.

Back during Obummer’s first run for the White House while making a speech in Denver,  Then Senator Obama stated that he wanted to see a governmental police force as well equipped and armed as all of our armed forces combined.  For some reason he has never spoken of that again.  It is rumored that his advisors jumped all over him for making it in the first place.

Now consider the following facts:  There are DHS offices in every state in the Union; There are DHS offices in over 125 counties in those states; Obummer has begun firing any top ranking general that won’t pledge to fire on American citizens if ordered to do so.  He has already “retired” three of them:  The budget announced for DHS is in the $100,000,000,000 range or one hundred billion dollars of your money each year. The 2010 fiscal year budget was $98,800,000,000 I have never heard of any budget decreasing for any department of the government with the exception of the Military budget of course.

One more example of why we should never trust our government and grant them a blank check without VERY specific instructions.

They took that check and, among other things did a few things that are unconstitutional.  Let’s take a look at one of them before I move on to today’s topic.

The Fourth Amendment to our Constitution, reads – “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”  Would you believe that your DHS has decided that amendment does not pertain within 100 miles of any border in the good old USA?  That means if you live in almost anywhere in the state of Florida you can be searched and your private property seized on the whim of an agent of your DHS.  (You might want to check on the history of the Gestapo at this point) How about NYNY or all of Rhode Island; all of the upper peninsula and more of Michigan; there is even a special proviso that takes in almost the entire states of Pennsylvania. Texas and New Mexico. Just go around the US map and wherever the US stops mark off 100 miles and you are no longer protected by the fourth amendment by DHS fiat.

Now let’s add in a few more facts just to clear things up a little more.  Non-military departments of your government have already purchased enough ammunition to wage a war similar to the one in Iraq for SEVEN YEARS.  Do as I did and look up the number of rounds of ammunition used per month in Iraq by our soldiers and do the math.  Oh , I forgot to mention the reason they espouse for the purchase:” To maintain the qualification with various weapons their agents are required to qualify on each year.  In other words, target practice.  Literally billions of rounds of ammunition already purchased for target practice.  This doesn’t even begin to talk about all of the new military style weapons purchased.  You know the ones I mean.  Those listed in Feinstein’s bill plus many of the fully automatic ones manufactred.

DHS IS your new secret police.  Aren’t you proud?

Your Help Urgently Needed Re: Second Amendment


164478_10151432286486217_1663725423_n.jpg
Second Amendment on Trial in SAC & DC
(please distribute this widely)
.
Never mind that it trumps EVERY court and legislature. Never mind that it says "...shall NOT be infringed." The Progressive gun-grabbers have mounted an all-out assault on 2A, with an ultimate goal to remove all rights of private citizens to own firearms. How do we know?  We have it in their own words- Obama, Pelosi, Holder, Schumer, Steinberg, etc.
.
Few of us have had to ever deploy and use weapons, so the Second Amendment is a bit rusty, even alien for many of us. Others have become more conscious of it, via military service or law enforcement, or as our freedoms seem more and more threatened. The Second Amendment is not just about hunting and target practice. It is the foundation of all of our other freedoms. Mao and Washington both understood that power emanates from the barrel of a gun. Don't believe it?  Try not paying your taxes for a few years, committing crimes and fleeing. Eventually, you will likely be confronted by men (or women) with guns, or backed by people with guns, if you don't follow instructions to the letter. Unprotected, you may also be the victim of violent crime. Try going up against an aggressive nation that wants your land, resources, labor. Without a strong defense, those may be lost.  While police and military can provide some protection, they can't be relied upon for everything. You might eventually have to protect yourself from government criminals, which was the main reason that the Second Amendment was created. Think of Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Il Sun, etc.
.
So, our founders guaranteed your inalienable rights with their blood, as did those who followed them. We need to stand up for our rights presently. It may not involve blood right now, but if we don't nip it in the bud, eventually we will lose all of our rights, or worse.  Do not rely on others to do this for you. Too many people have done just that in the past-- now look where we are.
So, what to do about it?  There are already people yelling "Molon Labe," practicing military maneuvers, and building bunkers, but we don't want to wait until it comes to that, although that is looking less absurd daily. What we do suggest is the following:
.
- Participate in these upcoming events:
 
  --Day of Resistance - Feb 23
- Going to rallies alone won't get the job done. Contact as many legislators in CA and DC as possible and tell them you will not tolerate further restrictions on YOUR Second Amendment rights just because maniacs and felons abused theirs. We have lists of legislators on our web site. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly is the CA point man.
- Support/join NRA, GOA, etc.  See our Second Amendment Forum.
- Talk to family, friends, associates, church/synagogue members, etc.
- Post on blogs, Facebook, reader comments, letters to editor, etc.  Lots of good ideas in our Blog Section and Second Amendment Forum
- Make sure you have adequate home defenses, well-secured and that you are properly trained in their safe, legal use.
- Consider joining a militia unit, to assert and protect your rights. Yes, it is legal and yes there are some, like here and here.
- If legislators enact unconstitutional bans even worse than the current ones, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. But, we WILL cross it, not wait on the shore.

4063653533?profile=original     Gun Appreciation Day - stand and support American's

               U.S. Constitutional right to bear arms

Gun Appreciation Day is not just a time to celebrate the right to bear arms, but it is a time to acknowledge the precious gift that no other nation on earth possesses. This is the gift for every man and woman in this nation to stand toe to toe with an oppressor either foreign or domestic; and announce, “As for me and my family my right to bear arms will not be abridged nor shall it be stolen!”

This day is your way of demonstrating that constitutional gun rights do matter. This is your opportunity to stand up and acknowledge that a nation that fought a War of Independence to be free from tyranny of an imperial elite will not bow on bended knee to a 21st century version of that now residing in the White House. January 19th is the nation’s day to go to your local gun range, gun store or gun show and bring your American Flag and a ‘Hands off my Guns’ sign to show your support!

In fact, according to a national Fox News poll released Friday, January 18th, 71 percent do not think tougher laws can stop shootings like the mass killings that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut in December. “Nearly twice as many voters say there would be less violent crime if more law-abiding Americans owned guns, than if guns were banned.”

On the other hand, liberal gun control organizations have launched advertising campaign to scare parents in homes across America into accepting the tepid rationale of President Obama’s official response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Obama wants to disarm America be frightening America with edicts that do not address the reason for the mass killings.

No parent in America wants to be on the receiving end of a call from a school or receive a knock on the door from a police officer about fatal shootings at their child’s school. Yet, in the post Sandy Hook Elementary school shootings era, gun control alarmists have ratcheted up their threats on gun rights, by using the main stream media. The words of these media talking heads has been vitriolic and poison the airwaves that permeate American homes daily with lies.

Gun control measures are not new and one of the most infamous examples where this has been used as a precursor to attacking its own citizens was done by Adolph Hitler and his Nazi government, five years after being in power. Sound familiar.

In 1938, the Nazi Party enhanced the Weapons Law and enacted handgun control. Firearms ownership was restricted to Nazi party members and other "reliable" people. Later that year, the government barred all Jews from owning any weapons or seeking weapons from businesses that sold them.

4063652600?profile=original   Obama uses Executive Orders to Strip Gun Owners of

            legal Constitutional Gun  Weapons Rights

Where do you draw the line in the sand in defense of your life, your family and your community? What happens when the President of the United States, determines that it is illegal for you to use the very guns which are constitutionally protected because he issues an executive order against ownership? What alternative are you left with, and who can you turn to?

Your weapons which are constitutionally protected may need a local sheriff who will stand against the federal tidal wave of unconstitutional White House directives to protect gun rights!

States and local sheriffs in several jurisdictions are leading a resurgent awakening in the nation in protecting the gun rights of citizens from being quashed by federal edicts. In fact, some of these states which are considering legislation to criminalize efforts of federal employees that attempt to enforce gun control executive orders. Some of these states considering legislation action include Alabama, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming, among others.

Reaction to the proposed legislative edicts by President Obama for a reinstated sticker assault-weapons ban and a 10-round limit on magazines is raising concerns by local law enforcement officials. According to CNS News, Oregon, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller has already told Vice President Biden in a letter, that he will not enforce any recommended gun laws he deemed unconstitutional.

Another sheriff has joined the growing effort to prevent the assault on legal law abiding citizen’s Second Amendment rights in the state of Kentucky. According to Breitbart, Sheriff Denny Peyman of Jackson County, Kentucky stated recently, “My office will not comply with any federal action which violates the United States Constitution or the Kentucky Constitution which I swore uphold."

A state legislative leader in Texas is tackling this gun control overreach by the Obama administration and gun control advocates. Rep. Steve Toth (R) is planning legislative action to make it illegal for the state of Texas to enforce any federal laws that restrict the constitutional rights of its citizens to own semi-automatic firearms or the size of gun magazines.

Is this not the legal obligation of all local sheriffs and state legislative officials to uphold the dictates of the U.S. Constitution as well as their own state constitution? Is this not their oath of office? In fact, it makes perfect sense that every county, parish and borough in America has a sheriff or law enforcement officials who has taken such an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution.

The Second War of Independence has been declared

4063650831?profile=originalVice President Biden prepares to submit presidential  task force strict gun control measures to Obama

There is a sickening aroma in the air that is beginning to permeate the very soul of independent freedom embracing Americans. It began to originate long before the shooting at Aurora, Colorado, or recently in Newtown, Connecticut. Its rancid fragrance seeps into the fabric of the U.S. Constitution and is emitted by the control terrorists who manipulate the facts and perceptions of Americans who watch the news. These purveyors of stricter gun control measures seek to erode your defenses so that in your weakened state you will accept their sweet smelling tyranny.

The nation that was represented as a symbolic shining city on a hill that President Ronald Reagan spoke about over 30 years ago is now becoming a broken mud hole of shattered dreams. America’s morning that has dawned over the nation is now bearing witness to the shredding of constitutional protections which have safe guarded families since the infancy of the republic. Obama has given the order to Vice President Biden: full steam ahead to obliterate gun rights in your town. You and your family are the targets and what will you do?

The reaction by gun owners and even prospective gun owners to Obama’s desperate executive order zeal is to hurry up and buy up all the potential guns and now legal weapons. The worry is that these legal weapons might be taken by edict or by force by the government. That may be a logical solution, but it is only a temporary one.

Once Obama’s federal government has quenched its thirst on stripping away gun rights, it will not hesitate to take the next step to criminalize actual possession of legally held banned weapons!

Then what will you do?

What is the response to a government that embraces tyrannical rule over the constitutional guarantees and protections contained within the U.S. Constitution?

What are you, the father, the mother, the son or the daughter prepared to do when, the government official, acting on direct orders from a new commission set up by President Obama to confiscate your guns, comes to your home’s door?

Where are the defenders of the U.S. Constitution who are elected in Congress? Are you absolutely certain they will not give in, and knuckle under Obama’s determination which is aided by the mainstream media talking heads?

Remember these are the same talking heads that avoided Obama’s dismissive behavior in not enforcing congressional legislation. This is the same mainstream media that buried the White House Benghazi murder cover up as if it never happened. Think about your choices when seeking to rely upon the once independent fourth estate, which has been rendered a useless patsy for the Obama administration.

Do you really believe that once your guns are banned, and the weapons that were grandfathered in and off limits from government seizure, will not be taken in the second round of gun control legislation?

All: 

It is time to do more than talk.  Sadly I have watched my country erode away from the onslaught of the Most Selfish Generation ever since I returned from Vietnam in the 60s. I propose that we target an ECONOMIC BOYCOTT immediately.  It can be done by focusing in on an area of the economy that will hurt the extremists.  Not just a single left-leaning store, but rather an entire industry.  Perhaps computers / electronics industry (Silicon Valley)?  Automobile industry?  Entertainment?  It must be FOCUSED, PLANNED, ORGANIZED well, PROMOTED and ENFORCED with at least social pressure.  Not a single or list of companies -- too 'small potatos' or confusing.  Perhaps a ROLLING boycott where we do a handful of industries and focus for a few months on one before moving to another.  BOYCOTT is a reasonable, serious step to assert REAL ECONOMIC POWER before it becomes necessary to take to more militant power levels.

This is where a "Tea Party" leadership must emerge.  There is no doubt that I have observed a lack of clear leaders -- it is time to ORGANIZE before these communist nazi people gain greater control than they have already rangled.

How to Win our Freedom

Patriots,

We have been here before. We stand in the shadow of Tyranny, and it drives an unbearable chill through the souls of Free Men. The last time we stood here, we threw off the mountain of Tyranny against us, stood on our principles, brought a just war against our oppressors in government, and exposed ourselves and our Brethren to the full light and warmth of Liberty. 

The shadow of Tyranny has once again fallen across our country. The chill to Freedom is quickly becoming unbearable. Again.

How do we pull back this blanket of Doom?

It will be the Citizens. Not the Government, but the Patriotic Citizens of We The People.

Consider:

The Battle of Athens was an armed rebellion led by WWII veterans and citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the tyrannical local government in August 1946. The local Sheriff had illegally closed the polls, stolen the ballot boxes, and recused himself to the local courthouse to 'count' the votes. 

It did not end well for him.

It did end well for Liberty.

It might have to come to this again for Freedom to remain.

Americans never give up your guns. 48982.jpeg

These days, there are few few things to admire about the socialist, bankrupt and culturally degenerating USA, but at least so far, one thing remains: the right to bare arms and use deadly force to defend one's self and possessions.

This will probably come as a total shock to most of my Western readers, but at one point, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth. This was, of course, when we were free under the Tsar. Weapons, from swords and spears to pistols, rifles and shotguns were everywhere, common items. People carried them concealed, they carried them holstered. Fighting knives were a prominent part of many traditional attires and those little tubes criss crossing on the costumes of Cossacks and various Caucasian peoples? Well those are bullet holders for rifles.

Various armies, such as the Poles, during the Смута (Times of Troubles), or Napoleon, or the Germans even as the Tsarist state collapsed under the weight of WW1 and Wall Street monies, found that holding Russian lands was much much harder than taking them and taking was no easy the park but a blood bath all its own. In holding, one faced an extremely well armed and aggressive population Hell bent on exterminating or driving out the aggressor.


This well armed population was what allowed the various White factions to rise up, no matter how disorganized politically and militarily they were in 1918 and wage a savage civil war against the Reds. It should be noted that many of these armies were armed peasants, villagers, farmers and merchants, protecting their own. If it had not been for Washington's clandestine support of and for the Reds, history would have gone quite differently.

Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lieing guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot.

Of course being savages, murderers and liars does not mean being stupid and the Reds learned from their Civil War experience. One of the first things they did was to disarm the population. From that point, mass repression, mass arrests, mass deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle. Not much for soldiers.

To this day, with the Soviet Union now dead 21 years, with a whole generation born and raised to adulthood without the SU, we are still denied our basic and traditional rights to . Why? We are told that everyone would just start shooting each other and crime would be everywhere....but criminals are still armed and still murdering and to often, especially in the far regions, those criminals wear the uniforms of the police. The fact that everyone would start shooting is also laughable when statistics are examined.

While President Putin pushes through reforms, the local authorities, especially in our vast hinterland, do not feel they need to act like they work for the people. They do as they please, a tyrannical class who knows they have absolutely nothing to fear from a relatively unarmed population. This in turn breeds not respect but absolute contempt and often enough, criminal abuse.

For those of us fighting for our traditional rights, the US 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime, but are in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position. In all cases where guns are banned, gun crime continues and often increases. As for maniacs, be it nuts with cars (NYC, Chapel Hill NC), swords (Japan), knives (China) or home made bombs (everywhere), insane people strike. They throw acid (Pakistan, UK), they throw fire bombs (France), they attack. What is worse, is, that the best way to stop a maniac is not psychology or jail or "talking to them", it is a bullet in the head, that is why they are a maniac, because they are incapable of living in reality or stopping themselves.

The excuse that people will start shooting each other is also plain and silly. So it is our politicians saying that our society is full of incapable adolescents who can never be trusted? Then, please explain how we can trust them or the police, who themselves grew up and came from the same culture?

No it is about power and a total power over the people. There is a lot of desire to bad mouth the Tsar, particularly by the Communists, who claim he was a tyrant, and yet under him we were armed and under the progressives disarmed. Do not be fooled by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not. What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who think for themselves and do not obey without question. They hate guns in those whom they have slated for a barrel to the back of the ear.

So, do not fall for the false promises and do not extinguish the light that is left to allow humanity a measure of self respect.

California Democrat Dianne Feinstein will introduce legislation in January calling for the fingerprinting and registering of all gun owners in the United States.

On her Senate web page, Feinstein states her proposed legislation will add fingerprinting and photo identification to the National Firearms Act.

A firearms seller must currently submit Form 4473 to the government containing the name, address, driver license information, NICS background check transaction number, serial number and model of the firearm, and a short federal affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law. Feinstein’s bill will add a substantial layer of bureaucracy to the existing regulations.

The effort to expand firearms registration will include weapons grandfathered prior to the enactment of Feinstein’s proposed legislation. In other words, all gun owners will be required to register their constitutionally guaranteed firearms with a federal government inimical to the Second Amendment.

Feinstein’s registration process will likely surpass New York City’s handgun permit process, which is a bureaucratic nightmare. In addition to non-refundable fees totaling over $500, the permit process demands two recent color photos, a birth certificate, proof of citizenship and residence, a blizzard of affidavits, and other red-tape hurdles. Applications are routinely denied for spurious reasons, including non-violent misdemeanors and depression.

As Dean Weingarten notes, gun registration is de facto gun confiscation. Following mandatory gun registration, the government “will know who has legal possession of each firearm. They will know where the firearm is stored. When physical possession of the gun is desired, they can order you to turn it in. This has happened repeatedly,” most notably in Nazi Germany, Red China and Soviet Russia.

More recently, it has occurred in Kosovo, Great Britain, Australia, New York, and California. If Feinstein has her way next month, it will happen across America.

Democrats and their Republican co-conspirators are going all out to ban firearms. Feinstein’s bill will ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of 120 specifically-named firearms, including semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns that can accept detachable and fixed magazines and have “one military characteristic.”

In addition, Feinstein’s bill will outlaw flash suppressors, bayonet mounts, thumbhole stocks and bullet buttons on firearms.

Make no mistake about it. Obama and his anti-Second Amendment allies in Congress are coming for your guns. If they have their way, the only legal firearms in America will be rifles with 10 round magazines and single shot and bolt-action rifles – and those firearms will be registered with the government and may be confiscated at any moment.

A Little Gun History Lesson

Though this was posted four years ago, it is equally if not more relevant today. This whole gun control business is not about public safety; it's about public disarmament...

A Little Gun History Lesson

From an email going around that I wanted to share...

'Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups'
A Little Gun History Lesson

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to
1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves,
were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5
million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 194 5,
a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend
themselves were rounded up and exterminated

------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,
100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979,
300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977,
one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.

------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too! While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australia n society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. All news in this country is "coached" by government thru influence-peddling to AVOID telling you things you SHOULD know.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

The purpose for guns other than food, is: (1) to protect your property (2) to protect you and others from injury and (3) to protect your common law unalienable rights. [These go FAR beyond Constitutional Rights and are a gift from the creator.] The history of government is one of usurpation of people into slavery. For anyone who doesn't believe this then go back and examine the Declaration of Independence and understand that "the People" declared themselves INDEPENDENT of government. [Never to be told again by government that they are NOT to have the means to insure their freedom.] When you have no weapon, your slavery is guaranteed by government it's just a matter of time.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! When only government has guns, they will force "law for government" [aka statutory law"] upon you --when ironically it's really meant to control them. With guns, the People declare the independence of their separate lawfulness only common with people.

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.

With Guns....... .. ....We Are 'Citizens'.
Without Them........ We Are 'Subjects'.

When there was NO INCOME tax was when EVERYONE understood EVERYONE had a right to a weapon ..coincidence?

Gun Owners and Tax Deniers defined the freest and most prosperous time in the history of the world. Never forget this heritage.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

During WWII the Nazi's decided not to invade Switzerland for each Swiss common man was a trained sharp-shooter with a gun. Hitler
used the German word for "porcupine" to describe how his troops would suffer.

Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attach to the
U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his
reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.

If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends!

AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!

4063643028?profile=original                                Will Your child be safe with a bullet proof back pack and body armor?

Were the mass murders of innocent children, teachers and school administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, Connecticut a wakeup call for parents across America concerning child safety? According to Fox News, many parents are seriously considering sending their children to school with bullet proof back packs and various degrees of body armor to keep them safe.

Is the nation now at a point where Barbie dolls, Nintendo games, and toy soldiers are going to be replaced with pink and blue bullet proof backpacks and form fitting child size body armor under the Christmas tree?

The violent murders by Adam Lanza of 20 children has re-opened a national debate concerning just how safe are children and what measures or precautions can and should parents take to keep their precious kids safe.

Fox News reported on Wednesday, December 19th that a Utah company’s sales of bullet proof back backs and other safety clothing manufactured by the company Amendment II is literally going through the roof. With an approximate increase of 500 percent in sales since the murderous assaults in Newtown, Conn., parents and perhaps grandparents are grabbing up the, “pint-sized” protection safety lightweight armor called RynoHide.

While President Obama and his newly designated gun-control czar Vice President Joe Biden search for ways to strip gun rights from legal owners by the president’s end of January 2013 deadline, parents are left to fend for themselves.

If stricter gun control measures was the real solution, how does the president and gun control advocates account for the massacre which robbed the young children of their lives in Newton, Conn.? The state is one of five states with the strictest gun control measures in America.

What about the 270 children who were murdered in President Obama’s hometown of Chicago over the past three years. In fact Illinois leads the nation in strict gun control measures. Their gun ban law ban had deprived thousands of home owners of their right to protect themselves in their residence, from home invaders and gang violence until the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court overturned their 28-year-old handgun ban.

Just how many gun control measures will it take before liberal gun control activists and politicians wake up and address the real problem; which is the mentally unstable shooter pulling the trigger. So, whether it is a Columbine or Aurora Colorado massacre or a Newtown, Connecticut mass shooting, it is the shooter that special presidential task forces, national commissions and any other so-called violence solution panels should and must focus on.

Depriving Americans of their 2nd Amendment rights by using a drip, drip, drip method, until finally the nation’s citizens are disarmed is not an option; citizens are willing to witness or permit. This potential constitutional stripping peril was addressed in 2010, by the U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was insistent in the 2010 court decision which overturned the Chicago City Handgun Ban.

Justice Alito stressed:

"It cannot be doubted that the right to bear arms was regarded as a substantive guarantee, not a prohibition that could be ignored so long as states legislated in an evenhanded manner."

I recently sent this link out to a number of friends.   

 I know some of them are very conservative, some are liberal, some are military, some are teachers and college professors.  I expected to hear the whole gamut of comments.  One of the most disturbing is from, an otherwise intelligent, retired college professor, a PhD.    

Below is what he said, and my reply.  What do you think?  We had all better prepare ourselves for these conversations.  Our politicians can't agree to fix the tax code, cut spending, or balance a budget; but they rammed through Obamacare and they are building support to ram through their unconstitutional restrictions on gun ownership.

Sent: Mon, Dec 17, 2012 5:21 pm
Subject: Re: Breeding Ground for School Shooter

I respect your opinion, but I disagree.
 
First: the term "assault rifle" is a vague misnomer.  Any rifle can be an assault weapon.  For the military, their "assault rifles" are capable of firing AUTOMATICALLY or in 3 shot bursts.  The civilian versions, while similar in "appearance", have no such capability. The civilian versions operate just like any other semi-automatic rifle.
 
Second: Our 2nd Amendment, like our 1st, does not have "qualifiers".  In fact it specifically states that it is an unalienable right meaning, the government did not grant us this right; it is a right derived by virtue of being born a free person.  It also stipulates that the government may NOT restrict that right.  We already allow certain restrictions by permitting background checks, and limiting military weapons to either the military or police, or in rare occassions individuals who go through a lengthy permitting process and pay the government a license fee.  No average, everyday citizen, crazy or not, has access to those types of weapons.
 
Third:  Even though I may not desire to own an AR-15 or AK-47 "style" of rifle, I detest some bureaucrat telling me that, as a free, law abiding, sane, citizen that I am not trustworthy enough to own one.  They, nor you, have that right, just as no one has the right to tell me which church to go to or what newspaper to buy. 
 
Fourth:  Having a weapon, of choice, that an individual is competent at shooting, is EXACTLY the point.  It does have a direct relationship on a person's "self-defense", the AR style rifles ARE indeed used in hunting, sport shooting, competitve/recreational shooting.  In fact, they are one of the most widely used guns in America today.
 
Fifth:  Your comment: "People who would buy such weapons are precisely the ones we don't want 
to have them."
  Is not only inaccurate, but displays a lack of understanding of the real underlying causes for these tragedies.  As stated previously, many, sane, competent, decent, law abiding Americans currently own these rifles and enjoy using them for a variety of lawful purposes; the guns, their caliber,  their capacity, nor their appearance are the problem.  These shootings did not happen because the shooter had an AR-15; they happened because the shooter was, for whatever mental or emotional reason, not acting rationally and committed a heinous crime while breaking the existing laws.
  More laws will not fix the problems with evil, crazy, irrational behavior.
 
I am saddened, and sickened by the carnage this single person inflicted on so many families.  Like most people who see it, I am angry.  Rationally, I realize, I cannot be angry at the gun or the millions of Americans who choose to own and use that type of gun in their own "pursuit of happiness" that is guaranteed under our constitution.  I am ANGRY as hell at a society that fails to place the blame where the blame should be; on the individual who committed the crime, and his family and friends who supported him and enabled him.  I am ANGRY that the American culture has declined to such a state that we no longer mourn the deaths of millions of unborn babies by abortion; in fact, we elected a man to the Presidency who not only supported late term abortion, he voted for and even went so far as stating that an aborted late term baby, that happens to survive, should be left to die because that was the mother's intent.  Talk about callous!  Talk about insensitive!  Talk about disgusting!
 
I am also saddened that intelligent people, such as yourself, are inclined to accept a knee jerk reaction, which will not solve the real causes of much deeper societal problems of mental health, drug abuse, etc.
 
We have some really serious problems in society today.  We should be brave enough to face the facts that several generations of permissiveness  decaying moral values, political correctness, drugs, and the destruction of the traditional family are more at fault than a specific type of firearm.  There have been guns around for centuries.  True, until the 20th century we didn't have high capacity, weapons, but we have had semi-automatics since the early 20th century and it has only been in the past couple of decades that we've seen this level of violence perpetrated on our most vulnerable citizens.  Rather than rushing to judge those who legally own, and lawfully use, these weapons, I would encourage you to get involved in a meaningful investigation and dialogue to put the blame where it should be and begin to change society's value system rather than restrict a free American's constitutional right to keep the arms he or she chooses will best suit them.

             4063641490?profile=original                  Mother holds young child who escaped murderous rampage of lone gunman,

                                          who killed 20 children and six adults at school

On Friday, December 14th, 20 innocent children walked into their schoolroom class at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and before noon, Adam Lanza, 20, had gunned them and his mother down, according to Fox News sources. Recently, this horrific scene has been played out far too many times in malls, movie theaters, and at universities. This time, the unthinkable has occurred. The innocence of childhood was stripped away by this lone gunman, and left a town, and a nation in mourning.

Yet, in the midst of this very tragic day, the routine calls for tighter gun control laws have again raised its ugly head. While there is no reported connection to alleged shooter, Adam Lanza and illegal firearms, the calls are spreading, as they did earlier in the week, when another masked gunman entered a Portland, Oregon area mall, and shot and killed two victims.

According to Fox News, a U.S. Justice Department source, indicated that weapons used in the murderous assault, including a .223-caliber rifle, had been legally registered to the shooter’s mother. There is a serious problem in this nation, but with this tragedy and the one on Tuesday in Portland, Oregon, it was not the gun, but the stolen weapons that was the problem.

In a nation where there are over 50 million legal gun owners, there is no clear reason how the outbursts of violence by mentally unstable individuals whose weapon of choice is a gun, can be used as a rationale to curtail constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights. The two are not even logically synonymous.

Gun control laws that are not strict enough did not fail these families who are undergoing this very grievous period of mourning for their dead loved ones. What may have failed, even though speculative, is whatever social service system that did not intervene or pay attention to domestic issues that were occurring inside the home of the dead shooter.

The answers to what motivated Adam Lanza, to head into the school where his mother taught and into the very room where she was a teacher and open fire on precious little kids, shows anger that was perhaps motivated by revenge, or some other deep unsettling motive. But a gun control law is not the culprit in this tragic scenario.

How much tighter should the state of Connecticut’s laws be, if the weapons were purportedly registered to the shooter’s mother? The State of Connecticut gun laws specifies in part:
“It is unlawful to possess any other firearm by a person who has been convicted of a felony. It is unlawful to possess a handgun if convicted as a delinquent of a serious juvenile offense which includes.”

The mother did not appear to be a felon, now was she a convicted delinquent. She was a teacher in an elementary school, who was according to published reports from Fox News, murdered by her own son, who stole the weapons from her home. She was a victim not of a right-wing fringe element. She was murdered by her son.
