Because the Government Never Abuses Its Power, Right?
Jun 18, 2018 Second Amendment, Tyranny
Liberals want to end all gun ownership and to confiscate all firearms. They want the only people to have firearms to be those who work for law enforcement or other agencies of the government. They want people to be under their booted feet submitting to what government says. The left though, knows it will be hard to do this particularly all at once. So the liberals have been working on disarming us for nearly 100 years. Progressive policies have eroded the Second Amendment over the decades and it is continually attacked each and every day.
All the things liberals want with regard to gun control already exist and nothing they propose would have prevented any shooting that took place. There is simply nothing anyone can do to prevent a person who is hell bent on evil from committing that evil. Banning any item will not make it go away. Lots of people drank during prohibition (underage people drink every day) and lots of folks die from using Heroin, a drug that is illegal to buy, possess, sell, or use. People will get whatever they want no matter what government does.
This fact does not keep government from trying. Government knows if most of the people, in this case the law abiding, are disarmed they will be easier to control. The law abiding know this as well.
So liberals keep with the drip, drip, drip to continue eroding our protected rights. We are up to the point where they want a gun registry so that every gun owned by every law abiding gun owner (criminals will not register a gun they obtained and carry illegally) is on file with the government. Why does government need this?
The claims are that it will make us safer and they can track guns used in crimes. Gun owners are upset and know this is nothing more than a scheme to obtain a list so government can confiscate those firearms at a later date. Certainly some event will trigger hysteria and politicians will demand the confiscation and the database will be a handy little tool.
Nah, government would never use items it collected in ways it promised not to or in a fashion that was never agreed to. Oh really?
In Maryland hunters sign up for licenses using an email address. The terms state that email address will only be used to notify concerning hunting license issues. The government used those email addresses to send emails to hunters during gun control debates. It matters not what the emails said, they violated the stated purpose for providing the email.
Oh hell Big Dog, that is not so bad. OK, the US Military started collecting a blood sample from all active and reserve members sometime around 1991. All members were REQUIRED BY LAW to submit the sample. I avoided doing so and a health care provider took my blood from a tube submitted for a blood test and applied it to the DNA card. The absolute stated purpose of the DNA submission was so they could identify remains. That is ALL they said it would be used for and that is ALL it should have been used for. It was not. Now DNA collected by the military is used for law enforcement purposes. Never mind that this DNA was not collected as part of a law enforcement issue, it is used as such and is a violation of protected rights.
In Maryland (again with this communist state) the police are using the database of driver’s license photos in facial recognition searches. The purpose of a driver’s license photo is to identify a person as being permitted to drive. No where does providing your photo for a license give them the right to use your picture when searching for wrong doers. The photos in the driver’s license photo database are only for driver’s licenses and were not collected as part of a criminal issue. Why are those photos being used in violation of the rights of the people who were forced (like the DNA issue) to provide the picture? Maryland is not the only state that does this.
How many times do we need to see government abuse its power and authority before we understand that giving government info is a bad thing? There is never any punishment for people who do this and often the government as a whole participates. They justify it by saying it is needed for this or that to keep us safe or catch criminals.
Need more? The government is using Stingray technology to capture your cell phone conversations or location and use them against you. The police use license tag readers to read all tags to determine if you are a wanted person. They don’t delete the information (at least not for a while) giving them information on your location at any given time. They use EZ Pass and toll cameras to track you.
How many abuses by government do we need to see to realize that a firearms database is a bad idea and that NO MATTER what government says it WILL abuse that database to carry out some law enforcement action. They will continue until one day SWAT Teams show up at houses to confiscate firearms.
Sound like paranoia? Then you have not been paying attention…
UPDATE: And just like that this update shows the government is obsessed with biometrics and no, it is not paranoia. How long will it be before you HAVE TO submit these samples (you know like military DNA and license photos)? Government will start withholding certain things like tax refunds until you comply. No due process, no nothing, just wham, bam thank you ma’am…

Maybe Baltimore Students Should Protest At Home
Mar 13, 2018 Commentary, Second Amendment
Mayor Pugh of Baltimore has been busy wasting taxpayer money for things like removing Civil War Statues. Of course she, like all criminals, did the dirty work in the middle of the night under cover of darkness. She is now working on wasting one-hundred thousand dollars of hard earned taxpayer money. Read on to see how she plans to accomplish this.
This mayor is as inept as the others and is one in a long line of alleged leaders who is helping Baltimore completely transform into the crap hole it has been destined to become for so long.
This is what Democrat Leadership (an oxymoron no doubt) does to any place. It sucks the life out and leaves mind numbed zombies shackled to the teat of government.
So the mayor is working on another way to waste a lot of taxpayer money. She has decided to get dozens of buses to take school children to Washington DC so they can protest at an anti-gun rally. Yes, the mayor is WASTING tax dollars, the money government forces you, at the point of a gun, to give to it, to send a bunch of kids to DC so they can protest against firearms.
Let us keep in mind that a number of these kids have records that involve illegal firearms, come from broken homes where firearms are illegally kept and they live in a violent city that is violent because they and the other residents use firearms ILLEGALLY.
These children who are going to DC to protest firearms and violence are the same children who left class not long ago and rioted in the City. The riot left police cars damaged, buildings and businesses burned to the ground and a number of police officers injured. Yet, these Tide Pod eating morons are going to protest violence.
Perhaps Mayor crap for brains should save the 100 thousand dollars it will cost to bus these kids and work on the heating systems in the schools. Let us not forget that the city could not keep kids warm this winter because it could not afford to keep the heaters in good repair. One-hundred thousand dollars will fix a lot of heaters.
It is also important to remember that the city is full of gun crime. These crimes are committed by people who are not legally allowed to have a firearm with firearms that are obtained ILLEGALLY. Hell, just this week a man was shot to death by a few Baltimore thugs while he was driving his car in a funeral procession.
Maybe the mayor should stay in Baltimore and protest the way she and her administration is running the City. Maybe she should have them protest Democrat policies that reward single parent houses and enslave people to the government. Perhaps she should work on getting her own failures under control before spending OUR damned money on this nonsense.
I demand that the state investigate this misuse of taxpayer money and prosecute those who spent it in this fashion. If that does not happen then we should all seriously work on removing the idiots from office (we should be doing that anyway) and lowering our own tax burdens. The less you pay the less they can waste.
This summer when all these little protesters are sitting in summer school and the air conditioning does not work I don’t want to hear them, their parents or the politicians tell us how horrible it is and that they need more money to fix it. You tell them I said they spent the money for the AC on a bus trip to DC. Then tell them to shut up and get back to work.

Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties
Feb 14, 2017 Commentary, Second Amendment
Several counties in Oregon have passed their own regulations regarding firearms and those regulations are in reaction to the gun control laws Oregon passed (Oregon Firearms Safety Act). The counties are basically saying they will not comply with state law and that they will do things their own way.
The state has supremacy in this issue and it will get dicey but the counties are saying they are Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties. They point out the state is a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants and if the state can ignore the law and be a sanctuary for that issue then the counties can ignore the state law and be sanctuary for firearms owners.
This seems perfectly reasonable to me and I can’t see how a state that ignores the law can be upset that a county has ignored a law. I do understand that liberals think they are the only ones who can ignore the law and that laws only apply to the other guy but that is just their senility showing.
If we are forced to accept that it is legal to have a sanctuary city or state for illegal immigrants then we must accept that sanctuary can be granted by any city or state (or county) for any reason.
In Oregon the liberals want to provide sanctuary for illegal aliens in violation of the Constitution and federal law. The counties want to provide sanctuary for firearms owners IN ACCORDANCE with the Constitution. Funny how following the Constitution is alien to liberals. They sure try to use the Constitution when they want to make their case though. Does anyone see the irony of this statement coming from a sanctuary state?
These county ordinances allow sheriffs to ignore this law – which gun advocates see as unconstitutional. KTVZ
The concern of the liberals in Oregon, who obviously do not understand the Constitution or firearms, is that people get hurt with guns. The largest number of people harmed with firearms is those who commit suicide. The linked article makes it clear that suicides account for the largest number of gun related deaths in Oregon.
The state is worried that someone might buy a gun and use it to kill himself. If a person decided to do that then he only harmed one person (physically) and that would be himself. If any person can’t get a gun then another way to commit suicide will be found.
The funny thing is Oregon has a Death with Dignity Act that allows doctor assisted suicide. So if you are terminally ill you can get a doctor to help you off yourself but if you just want to die you can’t shoot yourself. I guess the state does not want you taking money out of the hands of suicide doctors.
In any event, this Oregon case is just another in a long line of hypocrisies liberals are known for. Add the sanctuary for illegals but not gun owners up there with abortion is OK but the death penalty is murder.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Cave canem!

Note To Libs: Muskets Were Weapons Of War
Jun 20, 2016 Second Amendment, Terrorism, Tyranny
Every time there is a shooting in this country, that is every time some deranged liberal or Muslim terrorist shoots a bunch of people, there is always a cry to ban guns. The left wants to ban all firearms in this country regardless of what they say.
Make no mistake about that, they want to ban all firearms and all private ownership. They will do it incrementally but their end goal is a complete ban. If you listen to them you can hear them saying it. One only needs to hear them say we need what Australia has to know they want private ownership to end or be so difficult that no one has anything more powerful than a pea shooter.
The issue is not the gun, it is not the background checks, and it is not the availability of guns or the alleged ease with which a person can buy one (this ease all depends on where you live).
[tip]The firearm used was not an AR 15 though anti gun nuts keep calling it that and showing pictures of one when they appeal to the masses. They want control and nothing else.[/tip]
Removing all guns will not end gun violence and the liberal model of Australia shows us that crime will actually rise as all other categories of crime did in that nation. Background checks exist and every time a person who bought a gun legally uses it to harm others liberals scream we need expanded background checks. What do they actually hope to find that government (the entity conducting the checks) does not already have access to? The government has failed in doing background checks when it fails to discover the future motives of people.
Sound ridiculous? That is what government wants you to believe it can accomplish with “expanded” background checks. It wants you to believe that it can tell what a person will do in the future if only we could look a little deeper.
The reality is most of the gun crimes committed are done by people with illegally purchased firearms and legal gun owners account for a small fraction of the murders.
It is also important to note that the government conducted a background check on the Islamic terrorist who shot up the gay night club and said he could own a gun. They said nothing in his background kept him from buying the firearm. If that is true then we just have a case of a person who had not done anything wrong deciding to do so. That happens all the time in our country though the case of legal firearms owners doing so is rare.
When these things happen we get this outcry of people who want more gun control as if restricting those who follow the law will stop those who don’t. It is more convenient to blame a gun than it is to blame the liberal moron, or in this case the Islamic terrorist, who pulled the trigger. Liberals would rather moan about one guy with a gun and claim him as the problem rather than seeing the issue was the 150 people who did not have a gun. Even if half of the club goers were carry permit holders they were banned from having their firearms in the club. Evidently the Muslim terrorist did not follow that law either.
Look, the reality is bad people do bad things and we can’t predict when they will but we can’t infringe on the rights of the law abiding as some feel good measure to make liberal bed-wetters think they are doing good. We also can’t allow liberal (and sadly some alleged conservative) politicians to take away our rights. Doing so will allow them to control us instead of us controlling them.
When they take away your means to resist they will then do as they wish, just ask some old German and Jewish folks about that.
The problem is not the firearm, it is the person using it illegally (and to some extent politicians who refuse to allow law abiding people to carry firearms). We do not ban cars or alcohol because people drink and drive. We don’t say that some person might drink and drive so he can’t own a car or buy alcohol. We don’t do these things even though more people die in alcohol related accidents than are murdered with firearms. In these cases we hold the driver responsible for his actions.
Blaming firearms for the shooting at the night club is like blaming the planes for 9/11.
I am also tired of hearing liberals tell us we don’t need these assault weapons or these weapons of war.
[note]Alan Grayson, a moron politician and wife beater from Florida, claimed that these firearms could shoot 700 rounds a minute. A semi-automatic firearm’s rate of fire depends on how fast the shooter can squeeze the trigger. To shoot 700 rounds a minute the shooter would have to squeeze the trigger almost 12 times a second and that does not include the time to change magazines. Misinformed people are easy to control and government is doing the misinforming because it wants to control people. Though in this case it is likely Grayson, who is unintelligent, does not know.[/note]
First of all, there are no assault weapons. Assault is an action and people commit that action. They use many things to do so but whatever they use is not an assault item.
Second, all firearms can be weapons of war. In fact, the musket was a weapon of war and everyone had a musket. Obviously the Founders made no distinction and neither should we.
The important words are shall not be infringed. There is no qualifier, no sentence about weapons of war or only if you need or only if government says it is ok or anything else. The words are the right of the PEOPLE (all citizens) to keep and bear arms (to have and to carry) shall not be infringed.
Remember, the people telling you that you don’t need these firearms are surrounded and protected by people who have these firearms.
How many more Islamic terror attacks are we going to allow before Obama is held accountable?
The gun is not the problem. Anti-gun politicians, Muslim terrorists and bad people are the issue. But keep pushing for gun control and one day there will be pushback and you will not like it at all.
We will not comply.

From El Chapo To Oh Crappo
Jan 20, 2016 Political, Second Amendment
Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is the Houdini of drug lords. He manages to escape from prisons that are supposed to be top notch. I imagine with his drug money he pays a lot of people off to make sure he is able but that is another issue for another time (like when the Mexican government starts going after them).
El Chapo recently escaped and was on the run until he did an interview with potential CIA operative Sean Penn and ended up captured. El Chapo is now back in jail waiting to be extradited to the US.
As far as this guy is concerned they should ship him to Gitmo and leave him there until he rots but before they do officials might want to ask him about a particular rifle found at his hideout.
El Chapo had a 50 caliber rifle that he had his men use to try and take down law enforcement helicopters. That rifle came from the United States.
Now before you go all Obama on me and scream that this is why we need more gun control you should know the rifle was part of the Fast and Furious operation. You know, the one where Obama allowed thousands of firearms to be illegally transferred to drug cartels so they could track them. Only problem is the ATF lost track of the firearms. They have turned up at crime scenes and one was used to kill border patrol agent Brian Terry (yes Obama should be tired for being an accomplice to that murder) but all the documents relating to that operation are locked up under the claim of executive privilege (a judge has ruled that Obama must turn the documents over to Congress, make some popcorn folks).
So Obama has a couple of oh crap moments going on. He has to turn over his Fast and Furious documents at the same time one of his firearms was found in the possession of a well-known drug lord.
The news went from El Chapo to Oh Crappo pretty quickly.
Keep in mind that you would go to jail for the kind of strawman purchases (which Obama erroneously blames for most of the gun crime in places like Chicago) Obama is involved in.
Maybe gun control should involve controlling the government and nothing more…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
