IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE A SIDE (THIS WILL OFFEND YOU)

Choose a side…not tomorrow, or the next day, or next week…TODAY. Stand up and fight for what you believe in. Preserve our RIGHTS so that generations after us may feel the exhilaration of a rifle recoil against their shoulder, the smell of gunpowder in their nostrils, and have the RIGHT to protect them, against evil, and tyranny, so that they may live as a free person, in a free country, that respects a person’s RIGHTS.

Veteran Stands Up For 2nd Amendment At Chicago Anti-Gun Forum

Thiss guy should run for office. He has a better understanding of the Constitution than all of the liberal idiots that are in office now. The people in Chicago voted for these fools, they deserve what they have. We should put a fence around it and let them live in their own little liberal world.

QOTD Sacred Cow edition.

Go read the whole thing. I think a lot of us are about to this point.

First they came for the blacks, and I spoke up because it was wrong, even though I'm not black.

Then they came for the gays, and I spoke up, even though I'm not gay.

Then they came for the Muslims, and I spoke up, because it was wrong, even though I'm an atheist.

When they came for illegal aliens, I spoke up, even though I'm a legal immigrant.

Then they came for the pornographers, rebels and dissenters and their speech and flag burning, and I spoke up, because rights are not only for the establishment.

Then they came for the gun owners, and you liberal shitbags threw me under the bus, even though I'd done nothing wrong.  So when they come to put you on the train, you can fucking choke and die.

Or you can commit seppuku with a chainsaw.  I really don't care anymore.  This is the end of my support for any liberal cause, because liberals have become anything but.

California and gun control

Inaccuracies Aplenty in CA Politicians’ Press Conference Announcing Gun Ban Agenda

On February 7th, 2013, several California politicians held a press conference to promote a package of new gun control law proposals.

TIME MARK	STATEMENT	FACTS
00:23	2800 gun and auto death in 2011	Cal Department of Public Health has only posted data through 2010. Where did he get unpublished numbers and how can they be validated?
00:40	Argument about registering and licensing gun owners like auto drivers “to reduce gun violence”	Assume Cal is like the rest of the nation and nearly 1/2 of homes have at least one gun. With 12,433,172 households, that means over six million with guns. 2800 gun deaths (minus the 56% that are suicides and thus uncontrollable with any legislation) means that are subjecting 99.98% of gun owners to regulations in order to control 0.02% of the gun misusers … and this gives them a lot of leeway because we know from recidivism rates and repeat violent offender profiles that most gun violence is caused by a small number of people.
00:54	Claims California has some of the toughest gun laws in the country	Then why does Cal rank #21 for homicides, slightly above the national average? If these tough gun laws are so effective, why does everyone from Arkansas to Minnesota have lower homicide rates?
01:05	600,000 legal gun sales	Best case (for Steinberg) is that 0.2% of legal gun sales resulted in non-suicide gun deaths (using the same math as used for 00:40).
02:12	Curbing the proliferation of “rapid fire” weapons … by getting guns out of the hands of people who should not have them	Logical disconnect. We know statistically that repeat violent offenders are largely career criminals who (a) tend not to obey laws and (b) are not required to register their guns (According to the Supreme Court, criminals do not have to obtain licenses or register their weapons, as that would be an act of self-incrimination – Haynes vs. U.S. 390 U.S. 85, 1968) More to the point, street thugs (primarily the source of firearm homicides) prefer highly concealable handguns, and lean towards .38 revolvers and 9mm pistols. None of these are “rapid fire”, no more so that your nightstand piece.
02:35	We respect the Second Amendment	Good Lord, where to begin. Better not even go there. Not enough electrons flowing through the Internet to document how they don’t.
05:19	Seek to ban the manufacture of rifles with detachable magazines, period!	There’s the tell! They seek to ban manufacture of firearms. Since banning ownership might be problematic under the Heller decision, their only alternative is to attempt to choke off the source. What is created in California by the LCAV will be exported.
11:10	“These were legally purchased guns”	He cited public massacres by lunatics as justification for halting all legal firearm transactions of specific firearms types. Logical disconnect. The disease is mental illness, which is not the 99.98% of people the legislation affects. Gun misuse is just one symptom of psychotic rage. Cure the disease, don’t treat the symptom.
11:47	Get the 19,000 household holding 40,000 prohibited guns	If the government has known for so long which criminal households have guns: Why has this not been a priority in the past? Should this have been de facto law enforcement priority? Has the state’s inactivity be contributory to gun deaths? Is he admitting that the legislature has failed in the most basic mission of crime control?
15:50	Villaraigosa – claims each homicide costs $1M	He cites no sources and even says “I can’t be exact on that”. Exceedingly farfetched even if you include the absurd angle (often take by the gun control industry) that includes lost lifetime earnings. Evidentially being a gang banger is profitable.
16:15	Villaraigosa – claims the NRA has prevented states from enforcinggun laws	That would be a slander suit were it not a public official.
19:50	Loni Hancock – “There will be a period of time for them to be turned and disposed of”	Outlawing of currently legal magazines, meaning you will have to turn them in and they will be destroyed. No grandfathering, no exception. Repeating above: Street thugs (primarily the source of firearm homicides) prefer highly concealable handguns, and lean towards .38 revolvers and 9mm pistols. They tend not to use high capacity clips because they make concealment more difficult.
21:01	Loni Hancock – The USA has 15 times the gun violence rate of other wealth countries	Yet the USA ranks near the bottom (#13) of 17 industrialized nations in terms of violent contact crimes. Hancock ignores the crime prevention aspect of firearms. Hence, if she has her way, violence rates will rise. Source: Criminal Victimization in Seventeen Industrialized Countries, Dutch Ministry of Justice.

WE WON’T STAND FOR SCAPEGOATING

NO NEW GUN LAWS

DENY SUCCESS TO MASS MURDERERS BY ABOLISHING PHONY ‘GUN-FREE’ VICTIM / KILLER ENABLING ZONES NOW

WORK WITH US OR WE WILL WORK TO RETIRE YOU

This simple message is one that we should be sending to all of our congress critters.

Start with Rep. Steve Stockman's bill to repeal "gun free school zones," one of the few introduced this session that make sense, advance liberty and can actually make a difference. He introduced it on January 3, and it's only got three co-sponsors so far.


Write yours here.

I sent this to mine, feel free to use any part of it. Edit it as you see fit or come up with your own.


Sir,
 Representative Steve Stockman has introduced a bill, HR 35, the safe schools act to do away with the gun free zones in schools. As we have learned, from Columbine to Newtown, the killers have plenty of time to commit their atrocities.  At Newtown, the killer had 20 minutes and committed suicide as soon as someone with a gun showed up. Keeping these gun free zones is just a advertisement for psychopaths that they have a hunting preserve. I would hope that you would consider joining Rep. Stockman as a co-sponsor to his bill.
 Vilifying a inanimate object for the crimes of someone that is mentally disturbed is not the answer. We know that criminals will commit their crime in whatever way they have to. The Bath massacre in Michigan in the 20's was the worst school massacre in American history, The perpetrator used explosives. The New York night club massacre was perpetrated with a can of gas and matches.
 Please join in the fight to keep our rights and keep the country free. I also ask you to oppose any bills that will infringe on the right that preserves the others.
 Respectfully,
   Robert Fowler

January numbers

Just shy of 2.5 million NICS checks in January. Of course the numbers don't tell the whole story. It doesn't take into account that one NICS check can be done for a multiple gun purchase. I also doesn't take into account that in a lot of states, your permit to carry covers the NICS check for the life of the permit. In Iowa and a lot of other states, that's 5 years you can purchase guns under the one check ran when you get your permit. Which brings up another point. Some of these NICS checks are people being checked for new and renewal permits. With the number being alsmost double from one year ago, the government should be reconsidering any attemp at Unconstitutional gun restrictions. Do they think we are buying all of these guns to have something to turn in or register? Surely they aren't that stupid. But then they are politicians.
