“Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate; we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers.” –English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704)

Bloomberg. The wealthy assO wanting to ruin your lives by having complete control over it.
The U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they are believed to be ‘senior operational leaders’ of Al Qaeda or ‘an associated force,’ the memo states
The U.S. government can do so even if there is no clear evidence that the American targeted is engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.
NBC reported the news after obtaining and releasing the memo
“You can’t do a background check if a guy doesn’t have a gun to buy,” said Mike Fotia, manager at Duke’s Sport Shop in New Castle, Pa. “There’s nothing to buy.”
Or maybe with the threat of having to register guns…folks are buying them through other means….Just saying now..
SHOCKER!! Another ATF Scandal!?? But Buck Ofama is scandalous scandal free!!!! Of course and organization be it business, governmental or whatever reflects it leadership…Just look at Washington!! The White House!! The State Department!! The ATF!! Oh..Wait..those are all somewhat akin to saying the United Nations is a worthwhile organization!! NOT!!

We gots a new airplane!! Says the bad boys in Iran!!
The real gun grab is coming by stealth. President Barack Obama’s (Fascist-Who knows where?) bank, Bank of America has frozen the accounts of two gun manufacturers. Another gun manufacturer has had his liability insurance, held by GEICO, cancelled because his vehicle “does not meet our underwriting guidelines because it is used in conjunction with a company that deals in the weapons industry.” GEICO, of course, is owned by Obama’s BFF, Warren Buffett.
On the State level, gun rights are being snatched overtly and covertly. New York just rammed through a comprehensive gun ban that will allow weapons to be confiscated once the original owner dies. It will also institute a database of gun owners and require re-registration every five years.
For instance, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports: Crime in the United StatesTable 1, violent crimes in the US have dropped by nearly 50% in the last twenty years. In 1992, there were 757.7 violent crimes per 100,000 people. In 2011, there were only 386.3 violent crimes per 100,000 people. That’s a reduction of 49%.
In the same Table 1, we also see that there were 9.3 homicides per 100,000 people in 1992 and that number dropped to 4.7 homicides per 100,000 in 2011. That’s a reduction of 49.4% in the homicide rate in the past twenty years.
I have a very close friend in the DMPD, who asked that I post this here for him, as he fears reprisals:
“Why is ii ugly statist trolls are always so eager to get us law officers killed for their beliefs? You got another thing coming creep if you think myself or my fellow officers are going to commit suicide by carrying out any such illegal order.
You’d have us trample on essential liberties, and put everything we hold dear at risk.
My kids have to go to school with the people you want me to kick the doors in on. My wife works with the people you want me to gun-down. My house is right next to all the families you’d have me assault – yes I said ASSAULT.
No way. No d*&^ way. These are my neighbors, friends, and family. We work our collective butts off, trying to keep these people safe! You’d have us turn our weapons on them?
I, and most of my fellow officers will not be a party to this. We are PEACE KEEPERS. We are SHEEP-DOGS.
We are not “goons” or “stormtroopers” at the beckon call of some schmuck out to make his name by chasing tragedies.
If you want to disarm the people of Iowa, then you strap on a vest, and take them yourself you authoritarian coward.
In fact if it comes to that, you can have MINE, cause I will quit, and a hell of alot of my comrades will stand right alongside me. Your stupid anti-liberty agenda is not worth my blood, the blood of my fellow officers, or the blood my my family.
Take them yourself.
I work in EMS. No I am no ‘specialist’ I took care of people, now I teach people, I saw people at their worst and best. I treated injuries from many ‘objects’ including gun shots..But dammit, taking guns, legislating guns is NOT going to solve the damn problem and I just hate reading articles like the one here. Some sanctimonious assO..Damn..Get off your effing high horse!! Tell me how TEXAS gun laws would have made any difference on a damn MILITARY base?
Texas: There’s been no effort to tighten gun control in Texas since Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, 39, killed 13 and wounded 32 at a military processing center at Fort Hood in 2009.
In 2011, legislators passed two bills that gave gun carriers greater freedom to take their weapons to more places. One bill restricted employers from prohibiting guns from vehicles in parking areas and another allowed foster parents to carry handguns while transporting their foster children, as long as they are licensed carriers.
During a panel discussion on Tuesday’s NBC Today, chief medical editor Nancy Snyderman voiced her support for a New York newspaper, The Journal News, publishing a list of addresses of local gun owners: “You have these sort of blind assumptions that when your child goes over to play with another kid, he or she is going to be safe. And I think that has been now negated. So I have no problem….we’re not outing child molesters, this is a legal transaction, it’s a public transaction.”Snyderman’s declaration was prompted by fellow panelist, advertising executive Donny Deutsch, also standing by the paper’s controversial action: “I think it’s a great idea, I’ll tell you why. I’ve got two little girls at home and I would like to know if they’re going on a play date in a house where there’s a gun….when you have a gun, you are setting yourself up as somebody different. It’s your choice…”

ABC on Tuesday began a multi-show push to promote the gun control crusade of Gabby Giffords and her husband. Good Morning America‘s George Stephanopoulos kicked off the program by trumpeting, ” The most famous face affected by gun violence fights back. Gabby Giffords announcing direct action against gun warfare in America.” (Gun warfare? As of 2012, crime is at a 20 year low in America. The murder rate has dropped by almost half.) More of Diane Sawyer‘s interview with Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly will air on the January 8 World News and Nightline. Giffords, who was grievously injured in a 2011 shooting in Arizona, only uttered two words during the morning segment. Stephanopoulos narrated, explaining that the couple is starting a “campaign for responsible changes to gun laws.” He added that they will be “working with politicians to take high-powered gun lobbyists head-on.”
We have to raise the taxes!! We have to ignore the debt ceiling…But Wait!! Ban the eveel gunz!!!
CNN did its best to promote former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ push for stricter gun laws on Tuesday. “And if you think about it, if Gabby Giffords came knocking on my door, office door on Capitol Hill, I would have to let her in,” swooned anchor Carol Costello. Correspondent David Mattingly directed viewers to her website’s fundraising section: “[I]f you go to the website that they’ve set up now, the Americans for Responsible Solutions, the first thing you see there is a big window where you can click on it to donate.”
We have 4 dead in Benghazi, no one claims to know where the survivors disappeared to..well one does. But she has been well, indisposed!! So lets ignore the 4 dead in Benghazi..Have we heard this before?4 dead on O-HI- O maybe?? But the one whom knows is back so lets PARTY and make light of everything else!!
All three network evening newscasts on Monday found time to tout Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s return to work after hospitalization for a blood clot, “clearly enjoying a prank gift” from her staff and being greeted by a “standing ovation.” NBC’s Nightly News devoted a full report to the development, with anchor Brian Williams declaring: “…we got our first official look at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since she emerged from the hospital. It came in the form of some still photos of her first day back at work, a view of her carefully managed by her team after a tough couple of weeks.”
He goes from running for his life in Jurassic Park to a Preacher Man in Justified (*disclaimer: Have no damn clue what ‘Justified’ is. But did watch Jurassic Park with my then 2-3 yo who was into dinosaurs. He lasted until the T-Rex plucked the dude off the toilet. Bolting for our bedroom and the safety of Mom at that point.) And now handles slithery reptiles…Hmm..
The ‘Stand Your Ground Law’ present in nearly half of our states is being attacked from all directions. The image they are portraying to the public could not be further from the truth; they are calling these self-defense laws, “Shoot First.” The Stand Your Ground Law has saved many lives and will continue to do so in the future. We must stand our ground against these lawmakers to make sure we retain the freedom to defend ourselves.
On May 8th, at around 4 o’ clock a report broke that democrats were pushing an amendment to overturn the ‘Stand Your Ground Law’. This amendment was going to cut 20% from the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants in States that had these self-defense laws. These grants fund many things including Law Enforcement. So not only did they want to cut the self-defense law putting more pressure on Law Enforcement to regulate crime, they would then cut funding from the Law Enforcement who would need a surplus of funding if these self-defense laws were banished.
Just 5 short hours later the democrats withdrew the ‘Trayvon Amendment’! This victory has come from national support of these self-defense laws. The constant pressure we are putting on these liberals thanks to all of you who have made your voice heard is stopping anti-gunners in their tracks. Representative Keith Ellison, a democrat from Minnessota, says he will try to force a debate at a more “appropriate” time. Not on our watch… We will keep the people informed when these liberals try to take away our self-defense freedoms.
As you can see from this map, states all over the country have a version of the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law. These anti-gun lobbyists would love nothing more than to rid the law completely.
The only stories of the Stand Your Ground laws the media leaks are when the law is being portrayed in a negative light. We educate the public on the good that comes of this law. A week before New Year’s Eve toward the end of December 2011, Sarah McKinley’s husband and father of their 3 month old baby died of cancer. On the day of his funeral a man stopped by her house who simply told Sarah he wanted to say hello, she did not let him in. A week later on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2011, the man returned with his friend and a footlong, not a meatball marinara from Subway but rather a 12″ hunting knife. Sarah sat with her 3 month old baby on the phone with 911 waiting for the door to be kicked in by these hooligans. The 911 operator told her to do what she had to, protect your child.
Sarah was a brave mother; when that door got kicked in she made this the last mistake Justin Martin would ever make as she put one in his chest with her shotgun. The Police backed Sarah McKinley 100% when Detective Dan Huff said, “You’re allowed to shoot an unauthorized person that is in your home. The law provides you the remedy, and sanctions the use of deadly force.” Why wasn’t this mother portrayed as a hero and brought on every national talk show to talk about her self-defense rights?
This unfortunate situation with the shooting of Trayvon Martin has people chomping at the bit to get rid of these laws nationwide. They say it is a “shoot first”, ask questions later law. Surely, if their heads were being slammed into the ground and they needed to defend themselves, they’d have a different view on things. These people are simply anti-gun whackos who are taking advantage of a situation to rid something they don’t agree with. All we know right now is what the media has fabricated. A producer was fired at NBC for tampering with the 911 call; he only included bits and pieces of the call to make George Zimmerman appear racist and judgmental.
Liberal media and anti-gunners have taken advantage of a young man’s death to come after our Nation’s citizen’s right to defend themselves. We must let our voice be heard supporting this great law now!
It’s Time to Stand Together
and Stand Up for What’s Right.
