By clicking on this link, (The link will no longer work. It seems the Communist/Nazi Liberal Media couldn't handle the Patriotic response - we shut them down cold!). It was Anti-Gun rant and rave where you would have been taken to another episode of the 'Liberal Zone' - you know the place where nothing is quite 'real'. The author of the article has obviously never had to actually deal with an 'armed thug'. And undoubtly, is tucked away safely each night in 'La-La land'. The following is my response to the story;
Hello,
Am somewhat surprised that you would permit an article that doesn't cover all the FACTS. Firstly, the Second Amendment is the SECOND SAFEGUARD in protecting our liberties from those in government whom may attempt to abuse them or us. It is to be used only if the First Amendment has failed its intended purpose. Secondly, we are a country under attack by foreign and domestic terrorists who have already killed thousands of our citizens. The people of the United States were guaranteed these rights and it was perceived by our Founders as being unalienable. Automobiles, alcohol and drugs kill far more than guns do. Yet I don't see a huge public outcry over their usage. With perhaps the exception of drugs, (and rightfully so I might add).
The gentleman who wrote the article appears to be of age to have remembered Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. All of these 'supposed' leaders disarmed their populace and slaughtered millions! This was not to terribly long ago. Our own government killed four unarmed students, excersizing their First Amendment Rights at Kent State. So the reasoning that our government is ALWAYS looking out for our best interests doesn't hold water. As was in the case of the New Orleans hurricane disaster aftermath. Instead of spending all time and resources in helping victims of the disaster, our government officials wasted precious valuable time disarming law abiding citizens. Including one instance where they knocked an elderly lady down and disarmed her. Those actions were unconstitutional and cowardly.
The intent of our Founders was that the people be armed to be enabled to put down tyranny. As well as to be able to face ANY enemy, whether foreign or domestic. I had always operated under the impression that the purpose of the media was to report FACTS. And they were to act as the watchdog over tyranny. Much to my dismay, I've found the media to be in 'bed' WITH the government rather than serving their intended purpose. Can you help me understand why that is?
Surely you understand that we are a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY. We have a Constitution which can be AMENDED not ALTERED to suit the 'whim' of the day. And as a Constitutional Republic we are governed by the rule of LAW. There is a Foundation that our country and the protection of our Liberties IS BASED UPON. One which is not subject to alteration, though it can be amended to if circumstances warrant it.
That many in the media are trying to change public opinion, rather than fulfilling their intended purposes of REPORTING the FACTS, is ludicris to me! Ban guns? What next, knives? Rocks? Tire Irons? Ropes? Cain rose up and slew his brother Abel with a rock. Many have been stoned to death with rocks. Why isn't there a cry to ban rocks? Banning a danger has been tried before, and it failed miserably. Remember Prohibition? All it did was drive drinking alcohol underground. And made men like Al Capone come out from underneath whatever rocks they come out from. If guns are banned only criminals will have guns! And more than likely they'll have far more lethal firepower than what we see today. Machine guns and all types of military style firearms would be coming up through our porous borders. We can't stop the drugs, what makes you think they would be able to control the flow of illegal weapons?
Our Founders thought the the best protector of our liberties were the people! And a well armed and trained people were THEIR choice as to the means of protecting our Republic! They believed a standing army to be the bain of liberty! And from the examples of Communist Cambodia, China, Russia and Vietnam as well as the Fascist regimes of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and others - they have been proven CORRECT in their assumption! For all of the perverse aforementioned regimes disarmed their populace before starting on their murderous rampages. Well over 50 MILLION murdered in the last 100 years as a direct result of 'Gun Control'.
You are a journalist and are supposed to know the facts, tell me - am I wrong?
It is worth mentioning that ALL totalitarian regimes first targets were the MEDIA. The Nazis and Communists knew propaganda was more powerful than the sword. Any journalist not in conformity with 'State Policy' was either 'silenced', reeducated or sent to prison. There are those who think it can't happen here. And yet it has happened here on a number of occasions.
Wake up! Deal with the TRUTH and FACTS, as you were educated to do.
Regards,
E. David Quammen

They have been effectively laid prone and are being Gang-Raped by the Executive and the Legislative!
When they get done with them - the next logical step is us!
Bastards from HELL!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Our 'supposed' Representatives and government officials have turned on us!
They are practising agenda right out of the Communist and Nazi handbooks!
If you don't believe me read on....
An Enemy of the State
By Doug Thompson
According to a printout from a computer controlled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice, I am an enemy of the state. The printout, shown to me recently by a friend who works for Justice, identifies me by a long, multi-digit number, lists my date of birth, place of birth, social security number and contains more than 100 pages documenting what the Bureau and the Bush Administration consider to be my threats to the security of the United States of America. It lists where I went to school, the name and address of the first wife that I had been told was dead but who is alive and well and living in Montana, background information on my current wife and details on my service to my country that I haven't even revealed to my wife or my family. Although the file finds no criminal activity by me or members of my immediate family, it remains open because I am a "person of interest" who has "written and promoted opinions that are contrary to the government of the United States of America." And it will remain active because the government of the United States, under the far-reaching provisions of the USA Patriot Act, can compile and retain such information on any American citizen. That act gives the FBI the authority to collect intimate details about anyone, even those not suspected of any wrongdoing. My file begins on September 11, 2001, the day of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. A Marine guard standing post at the Navy Yard in Washington jotted down the license number of my Jeep Wrangler after I was spotted taking pictures of armed guards at the locked-down military facility. That night, I found a card stuffed under my door from Agent John Ryan of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I chuckled at the time because the lead character in Tom Clancy's novels is named John P. Ryan. I called Agent Ryan the next day. He wanted to know what the hell I was doing taking photos of a military facility. I explained that I was a journalist and taking pictures was what I did for a living. I directed him to a web site where he could find some of the photos I shot of the Navy Yard's side gate on that day. He asked for additional information, including date of birth and social security number, which I provided, and then hung up. I thought the matter was dead until a few weeks ago when an old friend from Washington called, said he was in the area, and suggested lunch. At lunch, he showed me the 100-plus pages of the file on me that grew out of that first encounter with Agent Ryan of NCIS. "Much of this information was gathered through what we call 'national security letters,'" he said. "It allows us to gather information from a variety of sources." A "national security letter" it turns out, can be issued by any FBI supervisor, without court order or judicial review, to compel libraries, banks, employers and other sources to turn over any and all information they have on American citizens. The FBI issues more than 30,000 national security letters a year. When one is delivered to a bank, library, employer or other entity, the same federal law that authorizes such letters also prohibits your bank, employer or anyone else from telling you that they received such a letter and were forced to turn over all information on you. According to my file, the banks where I have both business and checking accounts have been forced to turn over all records of my transactions, as have every company where I have a charge account or credit card. They've perused my book borrowing habits from libraries in Arlington and Floyd Counties as well as studied what television shows I watch on the Tivos in my house. They know I belong to the National Rifle Association, the National Press Photographers Association and other professional groups. They know I attend meetings of Alcoholic Anonymous on a regular basis and the file notes that my "pattern of spending" shows no purchase of "alcohol-related products" since the file was opened in 2001. In the past, when information collected on an American citizen failed to turn up any criminal activity, FBI policy called for such information to be destroyed. But President George W. Bush in 2003 reversed that long-standing policy and ordered the bureau and other federal agencies to not only keep that information but place it in government databases that can be accessed by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In October, Bush also signed Executive Order 13388 which expands access to those databases to "appropriate private sector entities" although the order does not explain what those entities might be. In addition, the Bush Administration has successfully blocked legislation and legal actions that have tried to stop the expansion of spying and gathering of information on Americans. FBI spokesmen defend the national security letters as a "necessary tool" on the so-called "war on terror." "Congress has given us this tool to obtain basic telephone data, basic banking data, basic credit reports," Valarie E. Caproni, the FBI general counsel, told The Washington Post. "The fact that a national security letter is a routine tool used, that doesn't bother me." Obviously it doesn't. Carponi signed at least one of the letters used to gather information for my file. When I asked to keep the copy of the file, my friend said "no." I promised to keep it and the source confidential. "You can't," he said. "You can't keep anything hidden. Your life is an open book with us and it will be to the day you die." After we left lunch and went our separate ways, I wondered how, if my life was under such scrutiny from Uncle Sam, he could meet me for lunch in a public restaurant and not be discovered? So the next day I went to a public phone in an out-of-the-way location and dialed his direct number. It was disconnected. So I called the central number and asked to speak to him. The woman who answered the phone wanted my name and phone number so he could return the call. I hung up. Then I drove home with one eye glued to the rearview mirror. Didn't see anything suspicious but if I turn up missing one day, just forward my mail to General Delivery, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Think I've found an answer to our problem......
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants"
- Thomas Jefferson
Sic Semper Tyrannis
(Thus ever to tyrants)
The motto of the original state of Virginia Seal, showing Virtue, sword
in hand, with her foot on the prostrate form of Tyranny, whose crown lays nearby.
in hand, with her foot on the prostrate form of Tyranny, whose crown lays nearby.
ALWAYS the END RESULT of TYRANNY......
"All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
- Edmund Burke
“I have sworn... eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man”
- Thomas Jefferson
MORE on REASONS WHY WE ARE A REPUBLIC....
The Founders of the U.S.A. were educated men. They weren't just a bunch of 'hot headed radicals'. These men spent YEARS in formulating the basis for a sound and equitable government. They used honest reasoning and debate to form a Constitutional Republic. They knew that there had to be a solid foundation on which to build a strong country. They had experienced the tyranny and unjust usurpation of power from corrupt rulers. Power that was dangerous and often times deadly. Power that corrupted and caused untold pain and destruction on those it was wielded over.
The Founders laid down a foundation for the maintainance of Freedom from those who would attempt to usurp unjust and inequitable power over their fellowman. For they were well aware that absolute power corrupts absolutely. They formulated an idea that the People would have the final say and the power over the government. That this could be accomplished by having a form of government that was made of, by and for the people. That the people would be the best stewards of their own liberty.
The Founders formed a framework of sound ideals they felt would best guarantee this new found Freedom. It is called the Constitution of the United States of America. The basic structure of the document were ideals that were absolutes that needed adherred to. They realized that circumstances would arise that would cause the document to be amended. But that the basic cornerstones should never be altered. The notion that the Constitution is a 'living breathing document' is thus true in a sense. In that it can be amended, (added to - not taken from), to meet circumstances as they arise. The basic premise however is unalterable. For they are cornerstones of a Foundation! Which, if altered, could possibly bring down the whole structure!
The means of securing and ensuring the RIGHTS of the People, outlined in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights - are spelled out in the 2nd Amendment, (an addition to, not taken away from), of the Bill of Rights.
Patrick Henry spelled out crystal clear the intent of the Amendment at The Virginia ratifying convention which met from June 2 through June 26, 1788; when Edmund Pendleton, opponent of a bill of rights, weakly argued that abuse of power could be remedied by recalling the delegated powers in a convention). Patrick Henry shot back that the power to resist oppression rests upon the right to possess arms: "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." Henry sneered, "O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone...Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation...inflicted by those who had no power at all?"
Notice, if you will, the dates on which this statement by Patrick Henry was atrributed. This was well after the Revolutionary War. A very bloody struggle fought against the most Powerful Nation in the world. This was the period of time in which the ideals were being formulated. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because of complaints by the people. There was growing resentment that the Constitution had spelled out the intended purposes of the goverment but left out, in plain language, the RIGHTS of the people.
The Second Amendment is the next step available to the people, as a whole, should the First Amendment prove itself ineffective.
This is why you will find, in many of the writings on this blog and on GunShowOnTheNet.com, the usage of the words coward and traitor in reference to the Anti-Gun crowd. For any politician who attempts to subvert the intent of our Constitution is in fact a Traitor to our country and its intended purposes. They do not want to have to be held accountable, and perhaps, have to pay the ultimate price for their perversion of our governmental system! Which makes them a Coward as well!
The sole aim, intent and purpose of GunShowOnTheNet.com and GunShowOnTheNet.blog is to attempt to utilize the First Amendment in hopes of avoiding utilization of the Second. To REASON with those who are perverting and subverting our governmental system. Using historical data and facts to prove that the course presently being taken by our government will only lead to disaster!
We all are part of a society of human beings. We all make mistakes, that is part and parcel of being human. I am appealing to those that are subverting and perverting your fellowmans RIGHTS, to cease and desist immediately. Amend the evils that you have done and are perpetrating presently. History proves that tyranny NEVER wins! It may appear to win for periods of time. But always ends up in war and mass destruction.
The people who are employed by the government, in any capacity, have families and friends among the general populace. That includes those in Law Enforcement and the Military. These people might play the role that the perverse, powers that be, assign them for a little while. But, Truth, logic, reason, compassion and other human emotions, (that many of those in power hold in contempt), will ALWAYS win out. You may win some battles - BUT YOU WILL LOSE THE WAR! (Hitler and his cronies chose suicide rather than facing the wrath due them for their tyranny). Other tyrants have been torn to pieces, along with their families, as retribution for the evil they let loose upon their societies.
It would thus behoove you to reconsider your actions. For as Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." With as much grief as is caused by your actions you will be met with the same or greater amount of grief. Power is just an illusion. It can be lost in an instant! You are only in power because WE ALLOW it!
Those of you, presently in power, have studied history....tell me - am I wrong?!

Further examples of Reason #1......
GUN CONTROL WORKS!
Just ask the EXPERTS....
Joseph Stalin(This twisted child of HELL probably holds the record for the greatest number of people slaughtered - his OWN COUNTRYMEN!)
Pol Pot(This little bastard is responsible for about 2 million dead)
Chairman Mao
Chairman Mao(Approx. 20 million of his own people dead, courtesy Chairman Mao)
Gun Control is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the DEATHS of over 50 Million, confirmed dead, in the last 100 years! The persons pictured, above and below, disarmed their victims before proceeding with their slaughter.
The perverse and evil politicians in pursuit of Gun Control in the U.S.A. are TRAITORS and COWARDS. They are subverting Our Constitutional and God Given Right to Self-Preservation!
The United States Government branches - Executive, Legislative and Judicial are operating illegally and are outside the BOUNDS of Our Constitution! They are TREASONOUS and are continuing to Operate in a TREASONOUS manner.
IT MUST STOP - NOW!

Edmund Burke quotations.....
A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman.
............................................................................
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
............................................................................
Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.
............................................................................
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
............................................................................
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.
............................................................................
Falsehood is a perennial spring.
............................................................................
It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.
.............................................................................
One that confounds good and evil is an enemy to good.
.............................................................................
The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.
.............................................................................
The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.
.............................................................................
There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.
.............................................................................
To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.
.............................................................................
What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.
.............................................................................
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
..............................................................................
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
..............................................................................
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.

WHERE, THE HELL ARE ALL THE PATRIOTS?!
Gun Owners of America
8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102
Springfield, VA 22151 (703)321-8585
Thursday, November 17, 2005
Registration leads to confiscation. We all know that, and that is why GOA has vehemently opposed all attempts by government forces to compile or retain information pertaining to lawful firearms purchases.
But in the name of fighting terrorism, the United States Congress is getting ready to trample on the rights of law-abiding Americans, no matter what the Constitution (and current law) happens to say.
The House will be voting as early as this Friday (TODAY) on the PATRIOT Act reauthorization bill (H.R. 3199). Congressmen have been ironing out differences in the House and Senate versions of the bill for quite some time, as GOA -- along with other interested organizations -- has watched carefully to see what the House-Senate conferees would produce.
Well, the product stinks.
GOA alerted you in June to the potential dangers in this legislation. Unfortunately, the problems have remained in the bill, and it poses a very dangerous threat to gun owners.
This LATEST version of this bill has yet to be posted on Thomas (the legislative website for Congress) and, most likely, legislators won't even have this language in front of them before they vote on it. As has happened quite often, they MIGHT get a copy of the bill right before they vote, but they will certainly not have time to read it.
That's why it's so important that you contact your Representative and tell him that gun owners are VERY concerned with this legislation.
Capitol Hill sources have told GOA there is a provision in this bill (amending Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act) which would allow the FBI to get a secret court order to seize ANY business records it believes would be relevant to an anti-terrorism investigation... without having to make the case that the gun records they're confiscating have any connection to a suspected terrorist.
Hence, in the name of fighting terrorism, the FBI will be given a license for unbridled fishing expeditions.
Gun sales are business transactions, and FFL holders must retain copies of the 4473 forms (yellow sheets) filled out on every gun sale. Thus, an anti-gun administration could easily determine that such records would be useful in the fight against terrorism, and demand them all.
But that's not all. More than just your gun purchase records are at stake. Financial and medical records, library records and much more will now be open to FBI fishing expeditions. They won't have to get any prior court approval.
If we do not UNITE into a LARGE COHESIVE Group, with singleness of purpose, ours and our childrens' Freedom, (what's left of it), will be GONE! They are the ones who GAVE nuclear technology to China. They are the ones turning their heads as MILLIONS cross our borders illegally. They are the ones who have sent almost ALL manufacturing jobs overseas. THEY ARE SELLING US OUT! They know there is discontent. So they MUST grab our guns, so that there will be no RETALIATION for their EVIL! They have already excersized control, of arms, over the largest population centers of the U.S.! And there is no evidence that they intend on stopping anytime soon. We are at a very dangerous & deadly precipice.
Their goal is to assume COMPLETE CONTROL!
'They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.' - Jeremiah 12:10-12
Have we learned NOTHING from the last one hundred years? THE MOST MUDEROUS CENTURY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND! Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.? ALL STARTED WITH GUN CONFISCATIONS!
IT MUST STOP NOW! Before the momentum is to strong to stop!
Quotes from former Pres. Thomas Jefferson....
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
.......................................................................
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.

A statement of truth if ever I've heard.....
It is asserted by most respectable writers upon our government, that a well-regulated militia, composed of the yeomanry of the country, have ever been considered the bulwark of a free people.

This from Chris Daly (San Francisco Gun Ban Originator)
(What follows, gag, is from off his own website)
Fellow San Franciscans,
Over the past 4 years, I have worked at City Hall on affordable housing, tenants' rights, homelessness, public health, the environment, and senior and kids' issues. I have fought with all of my heart for economic, social, and environmental justice in San Francisco. It's no secret that I've become a favorite target for powerful special interests including some of the world's largest corporations, the real estate industry, big polluters, and even the San Francisco Chronicle.
Behind closed doors, these special interests used to get their way at City Hall. Not anymore. We stood up to them and opened the door to everyday San Franciscans.
But our opponents haven't given up. They spend millions to distort the truth and to lobby for their own bottom line. I hope that this website helps level the playing field -- to keep you informed when the Chronicle deceives and to get you involved in the decisions to ensure San Francisco remains Our City!
I contend, sir, (and I use the term loosely), that you are in fact a traitor to the U.S. Constitution! And not only that but a coward! You distort the facts! You have subverted and perverted the U.S. Constitution! This country was founded as a Republic, and as such is supposed to be governed according to the rule of law. You have effectively disregarded the fourth, (Sec. 2), and sixth, (specifically, para. II), Articles of The U.S. Constitution and the 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights! You should be charged with TREASON!
The murders that WILL occur due to your flagrant disregard are ON YOUR HEAD! You will bear the responsibility and answer to God for your perversion of the Truth!
You would make the Founders of this country sick!
All those that have taken part in the subversion and perversion of our Liberties and Freedoms, will have to answer for it one day! As well as those SEATED IN POWER that saw the wrong doing and did nothing to stop it!
COWARDS and TRAITORS!

From Second Amendment Foundation...
NEWS RELEASE
SAF SAYS SUPERVISOR DALY SHOULD PAY SAN FRANCISCO'S LEGAL BILLS FOR LAWSUIT
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today suggested that San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly, author of that city's ballot measure to ban guns, should pay for the city's defense of that proposition in court and spare the taxpayers that expense. "Supervisor Daly cooked up this gun ban measure and now that it is being challenged in court, he ought to personally cover the legal bills," said SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb. "San Francisco taxpayers, many of them gun owners who will be adversely affected by this ban measure, should not have to pay for Daly's folly. "Local news organizations, the San Francisco Police Officers' Association, Senator Dianne Feinstein and even Mayor Gavin Newsom all said Proposition H was not going to stand muster under the state preemption law," Gottlieb noted, "but Daly pushed it anyway. There is no way that San Francisco taxpayers should pay the legal bills that are already mounting up." One day after San Francisco voters approved the measure, it was challenged in court by SAF, the National Rifle Association, Law Enforcement Alliance of America, the California Association of Firearm Retailers and several citizens. A similar ban was successfully challenged in court 22 years ago by SAF. "Chris Daly's measure is anti-choice," Gottlieb observed. "The reason that we've gone to court is to protect the citizens' right to choose whether they want to have the means to defend themselves against criminal attack. We believe that passage of Proposition H is not only contrary to state law, it sends the wrong message to criminals in the Bay area that they will have a risk-free working environment, where their victims will be unable to protect themselves, their families and their homes. If this stands, what other choices will Daly want to take out of the hands of his constituents? What else will he tell them they can't do in their own homes? "We're not saying everyone should have a gun," Gottlieb explained. "Our lawsuit to stop enactment of this ban is to protect the right of every San Franciscan to make that choice. If Chris Daly sincerely believes it is best to deny his constituents the right to choose, then he should finance the legal battle out of his own pocket."

Expedient Remedy....
There should be an arbitration system set up to remedy U.S. Constitutional Violations, by Local and State governments, in an expedient manner. Instead of waiting YEARS for the judicial system, that may or may not provide a remedy.
We moved 'Heaven and Earth' to, supposedly, help the Iraqi people in their bid for freedom from a tyrant. We should therefore be even more willing to do this for the people of our own country!
When some law or mandate is passed, by a Local or State government, that even remotely smells of a Constitutional Violation. There should be the ability for an injunction, preventing implementation of the questionable law or mandate, until the validity of it can be upheld.
Some laws passed, by local and state governments, have actually put their citizens in immediate danger. (Such as the UNCONSTITUTIONAL San Francisco Handgun ban - which even their Police Dept. WARNED them was a FOOLISH idea). This perverse law actually places people in direct danger of impending loss of life and property. With no possible recourse in defending against it!
That the legal system in California even allowed the UNCONSTITUTIONAL measure to be presented defies logic and reason. For there is ample evidence proving that UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun bans have the opposite effect than what they were designed for.
That such laws are allowed to stand is unconscionable and a perversion of our judicial system and our government as a whole!

Alabama: Mayor praises man for using gun
Source: WSFA News
Source: WSFA News
"Despite recent criticism, Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright says he still recommends that citizens fight back against crime with guns. And it appears that at least one man is following the mayor's advice. Police say the man was moving his belongings from one vehicle to another Thursday night when two other men approached him. That's when the man went for his gun. Several shots were fired. And in the end, the man got shot twice in the thigh. But the mayor says by getting his gun, the man did the right thing. 'I want to thank him and encourage him and others to continue their fight for their protection and the protection of others,' Mayor Bright said."

Divide and conquer....
Splintering people into various different, bickering, groups, (even if they may have the same goals), is a tool long used by military strategists. From out of the mouths of the ENEMIES of our FREEDOMS, I've heard and seen the MALICE of FORETHOUGHT and DEVIOUS planning they utilize. Evil will always attack at the weakest point! We MUST counter their deviousness! There is STRENGTH in NUMBERS, even if by appearance only. Am of the belief that ALL CITIZENS concerned with keeping and SECURING our RIGHTS need to UNITE.
Our enemies are using singleness of purpose, so should we. We already know their battle plan;
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal.

Knew it wouldn't take long for the 'Brady Bunch' to start 'crowing'....
The 'Brady Bunch' has released their victory 'statement'. Their 'puppet' Peter Hamm touts; Gun Extremism on the Defensive: In Multiple Races Nationwide, Voters Rejected Gun Lobby Agenda.
And then of course Sarah has to chime in; "sends a very loud message from American urban voters. They are saying the gun violence problem is not going to go away if we don't do something about it. The extreme gun lobby worked very hard to try to defeat the measure, and they got trounced."
Even the Police were against the San Francisco Gun Ban and backed up their position with SOLID FACTUAL EVIDENCE - something that is lacking on the 'Gun Grabbers' part.
That people such as these can 'crow' over UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS shows me just how traitorous and ignorant that many people are. That despite world-wide evidence to the contrary, of the failure of 'Gun Control', the push for it continues.
You'll have to excuse me, think I'm going to have to throw-up....

Well, the citizens of San Francisco voted to disarm themselves! (Lambs to the slaughter). In direct violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. That the UNCONSTITUTIONAL measure was even allowed to be presented is unbelievable. Hopefully it will be brought before the Supreme Court and declared null and void, (as by Constitutional Law it should). Second Amendment Foundation has joined in a suit which has been filed.
THE ALARM SHOULD BE GOING OFF IN PATRIOTS' EARS EVERYWHERE! We are headed for disaster on a fast pace. We cannot say that we weren't WARNED! Our Founders started ringing the warning bell over 200 years ago!

Total and complete IGNORANCE defined....
The following is an excerpt from a Washington Post Editorial:
NOT SATISFIED to be a Republican congressman from Indiana, Rep. Mark Edward Souder also enjoys assuming the role of D.C. Council member, a role in which he -- with guidance from the National Rifle Association -- can try to decide which laws should be on the District's books......
....But Mr. Souder is as ready to ignore evidence as he is to undermine local democracy. Congress should not go along.
First of all, 'genius', we are A REPUBLIC - not a democracy, whether it's 'local' or not!
This is in our NATIONS CAPITOL! Have we lost sight of the ORIGINAL INTENT of our Founders to the extent where a 'supposedly respected' publication can spout such garbage? Have they completely forgotten the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Not to mention the HORRENDOUS CRIME RATES IN D.C. SINCE their BAN was ENACTED? Is this editor in full possession of his/her mental facilities? Sounds more like something that would have been spewed out by the Nazi propaganda machine of Joseph Goebels!
It is completely LUDICROUS that this is happening in such close proximity to where Liberty and Freedom began! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER A LITTLE 'TIDBIT' CALLED THE SECOND AMENDMENT? How can it POSSIBLY be IGNORED?

A MUST READ from Cold Fury.......
This SPELLS out what's going on, in the U.S.A., in a VERY GOOD fashion! On a November 6th, 2005 post on Cold Fury.
Anyone that desires not True Freedom....
It is my contention that anyone not desiring True Freedom, as outlined by the Founders of The United States of America, is in fact a slave. That being the case, they are worthy of neither Liberty nor Freedom. They should join themselves to the those seeking our Liberties and Freedoms. To be cared for and fed, much like one would a dog. That way, those that usurp perverse and unconstitutional power over others would have their desires fulfilled. They would have their 'pets' to administer and control to their heart's content. In the mean time they could leave the rest of us, desirous of True Freedom and Liberty, the hell alone! Just a thought.
Times do change...
While it is FACT that times do change. It does not stand to reason that Principles should change with time! For if your Principles are gone - ALL is lost.

While driving to work....
It dawned on me, while driving to work, what those nibbling away at our Constitutional Rights really are. The appropriate term is Termites. They are an infestation that works unceasingly at nibbling away valuable structures. Causing untold damage and harm. They really serve no useful purpose as far as I can tell. And therefore are value-less, voracious creatures. They will continue unless proper measures are taken.
Think we need to call an exterminator.

Let's take this in order....
Perhaps we need to be fighting just as hard for the restoration of the First as that of the Second Amendment. (ALL RIGHTS as originally intended by our Founders). For if we have God with us - who can be against us? They, that have RIGHT on their side, ALWAYS come up winning in the end! Not to say that there are not hard, bloody battles fought achieving the goal. And, many times, the appearance of lost battles. There is righteousness in placing oneself on solid SPIRITUAL footing. And fighting for the SUPREME ULTIMATE TRUTH is an excellent foundation on which to make a stand.
Our Founders tied the two principles of the 1st and 2nd Amendments together many times in their writings. And look what was accomplished by them! They established the basis for the greatest country in the history of mankind. Although the way our country appears today is soiled and shameful. Have a feeling our Founders wouldn't recognize their own country should they see us this day. By those, in the present day, tearing down the foundation laid by our Founders. Shows that they think themselves more wise than those who originally laid it, (with their blood, sweat and tears)!
When a foundation has been allowed to crumble, the whole structure is unsound! Which means our foundation is in dire need of repair. It needs restoring to bring it back into safe condition. And demands immediate attention. Otherwise IT WILL ALL COME CRUMBLING DOWN around us!

Our Founders tied the two principles of the 1st and 2nd Amendments together many times in their writings. And look what was accomplished by them! They established the basis for the greatest country in the history of mankind. Although the way our country appears today is soiled and shameful.

Shows that they think themselves more wise than those who originally laid it, (with their blood, sweat and tears)!
