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…

Stop While We Get Your DNA
Nov 20, 2013 General
People in Fort Worth Texas were funneled into a single lane and then they were asked to move into a parking lot. There were contractors working on some government program to collect DNA to see the number of people on the road who were driving with an intoxicating substance in their system. People could give a mouth swab, blood or do a breathalyzer.
All of this was voluntary and there were plenty of signs indicating so and people were paid if they gave a mouth swab or blood.
BUT, it did not feel voluntary. People who read the signs and did not want to participate were still forced to pull into the parking lot by Fort Worth police officers. People indicated that they were told it was voluntary but it did not feel voluntary. They were detained even if they did not want to participate.
One of the handouts indicated that the air inside the car was passively monitored for alcohol (this is done with small machines that sample the air which contains the exhaled air of the driver). No one volunteered for that but it was done as part of the process that forced them off the road and delayed them.
It does not matter if the entire exercise was voluntary if the police did not act like it was voluntary. If people believed they were being compelled to participate and if they indicated they did not want to participate and their car’s air was sampled and they were delayed then their rights were violated.
I hope those who did not agree are able to get this resolved with perhaps some sort of legal action. I am not normally a sue them first kind of person but government and its police state is getting more and more brazen in the way it violates our rights.
If we make it hurt by taking their money then perhaps they will get the message and stop violating our rights.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

I Thought Democrats Were For Privacy
May 20, 2010 Political
The House voted to allow the DNA of people to be taken from them if they are arrested even if they are never convicted of a crime.
Millions of Americans arrested for but not convicted of crimes will likely have their DNA forcibly extracted and added to a national database, according to a bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday.
By a 357 to 32 vote, the House approved legislation that will pay state governments to require DNA samples, which could mean drawing blood with a needle, from adults “arrested for” certain serious crimes. Not one Democrat voted against the database measure, which would hand out about $75 million to states that agree to make such testing mandatory. cnet
The politicians who voted for this believe that it gives law enforcement the tools it needs to fight crime and it will help solve cold cases. That is a bunch of baloney. This is nothing more than the government allowing more interference in your life. People are arrested all the time and released when it is discovered they did not commit the crime or there is not enough evidence. Some go to trial and win the case. Why should their DNA be drawn from them in these cases? If it is drawn then why should it be kept? What allows them to run the DNA of a person against a database to solve cold cases when that DNA was obtained from people not guilty of a crime?
What happened to the Democrats who got their panties in a wad when we wiretapped people suspected of terrorism? What happened to the so called party of privacy? What happened to standing up for people against the tyranny of government.
I have no problem with the government taking DNA from people convicted of crimes. I have a real problem when it is taken from people who have not been found guilty of anything. The problem with collecting any information is that it is seldom used in the manner stated. The information from the Census has been used in the past to do some nasty things like find Japanese Americans and lock them away. The military collects DNA and the stated and written reason for the collection was to identify remains. However, military DNA has been searched in criminal cases and used against the people who provided it for identification in the event of their death.
If the military was only going to use it to identify dead service members then why does the military keep the DNA after people leave the service?
Never trust the government and never trust the Democrats when they talk about their support for our privacy. They want control and they want it in all aspects of our lives.
Perhaps we should collect the DNA of all politicians and run it against the national database to see how many love children are running around. Maybe we can use it to identify the ones whose epithelial cells are all over bribe money…
Never surrender, never submit.

Judge Allows Physical Attack To Enforce Court Order
Jun 7, 2009 Political
Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza of Niagra County New York ruled that it was OK to Taser a person who refused to comply with a court order in order to execute the order. A man refused to give his DNA in a case. He had given it before but the police sent it to the wrong lab so they could not use it. They got another court order and the man refused to provide his DNA. He said they would have to Taser him to get it, and they did.
The police Tasered Ryan Smith and took his DNA.
It does not matter to me that this guy was probably guilty, what matters is the abuse of him in enforcing a court order and the implications this might have on others. Suppose there was a court order for you to turn over certain paperwork related to a case and you refused. In times past you would be put in jail until you complied with the order. After this ruling the cops might just Taser you and then look through your stuff until they find it. There are many court orders that are disobeyed. There are legal remedies designed to get people to comply but physical abuse is not one of them.
Reporters who refuse to give up a source per a court order are sent to jail until they do. What happens if they are Tasered until they give up the source? Why not just water board them and be done with it?
This judge gave a moronic ruling in this case and it should be overturned.
In third world countries they use physical violence to obtain information. In the US we have laws that prevent this.
Then again, we have laws that punish voter intimidation and the Obama Justice Department ignores them. We have laws preventing ILLEGALS from registering to vote but Obama’s Justice Department ignores them. Hell, we have rules that are supposed to punish people for being here ILLEGALLY but the government ignores those.
In any event, I guess it is not surprising that Smith was physically abused in order to obtain information given that Obama and his peeps want to move us to Socialism and Obama is more aligned with the Communists than the free people.
Welcome to the kind of America the Democrats accused (unjustly) our troops of. The gulags cannot be too far behind.

Eugenic- Pertaining to eugenics; relating to, or tending towards, the production of fine offspring. (eugenics)- The scientific application of the findings of the study of heredity to human beings with the object of perpetuating those inherent and hereditary qualities which aid in the development of the human race.
That sounds like quite a mouthful, doesn’t it? It also sounds fairly benign, until you begin, like a sore, to pick at it. Once you begin to look at the deeper meanings and think about the history of eugenics, this doesn’t sound like such a good thing, but this is what is happening under the surface here in the good old U.S. of A., as well as the European countries.
Since 1992, in Minnesota, there has been a DNA database that they keep on all newborns, and I have found that many other states also have a variant of this database. Let me explain.
Every time a baby is born, a nurse takes blood from a pinprick on the baby’s foot- this is to check for diseases and other conditions that the baby might have- a good thing, right? But then, whereas the hospital used to destroy the blood sample, now it is taken to a lab for gene sequencing, so these doctors can find out if your baby might be prone to cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Muscular Dystrophy, and a horde of other conditions that plague mankind. The Government keeps this blood database for comparison and experimentation. This still sounds like a good thing, right?
Here’s where it goes off the rails- because these doctors can do such a fine job on DNA. they can feasibly find out if your potential baby has a temper, is prone, (in their opinion) to violence, or might develop other qualities that might (again, in their opinion) be detrimental to the human race. Their job is to determine if your potential baby will be a plus or a minus in the great numbers game that is the human race. They want to be the judge of your baby’s potential- or lack thereof.
There have been advocates of Eugenics since the 1920s- it was taught with great fervor in the Universities of the world. People who thought of themselves as “Progressives” openly advocated the study of eugenics as a practical method of moving the evolution of human development forward dramatically. There was just one problem- not enough was known about DNA at the time, so practical study of it was stymied, but there were plenty of advocates, from Charles Lindbergh to Franklin Roosevelt, to Adolph Hitler.
Oh yeah, that’s right, many of the eugenics experiments Hitler’s SS carried out on Jewish prisoners were designed to create a “Master Race”- that is Eugenics at is most basic and cruel form. Because DNA was not understood well at that time, many of the experiments involved “grafting” different anatomical parts onto a living body to see if it would take. The SS would experiment on midgets, and twins, all to find out any data that might help them in their quest. The process and logic was tortured and cruel, and we would, you would think, never condone this barbaric behavior today. You would only be partly right.
Instead, the process can begin in the womb. You have heard that soon you will be able to choose traits for your child, thus having “designer” babies. You can choose to have your baby be blue eyed, blonde haired, all the traits you desire- but there is a dark side to this also- the undesirable traits that your child might have in his genes. Progressives want to weed out these undesirable traits, and might want you to terminate, indeed might have you terminate, by law, your child, so that the Down’s syndrome, cancer, Muscular Dystrophy, whatever might be the deficiency they believe they see, will not have a chance to become part of the human race. It might just be that your child doesn’t have, IN THEIR JUDGEMENT, the potential to be as intelligent as these “Progressives” would like.
So sorry, no baby for you.
The kicker is, they might just prohibit you from having any children, just to make sure that your DNA doesn’t pollute the purity they seek. For example, Sickle- cell Anemia is a killer of proportionately many more Blacks than any other race- getting rid of this would be a good thing, right? Maybe not, if you were the ones told that you were not allowed to have children since your potential children MIGHT get the disease. Now you are banned from having children, all based on a possibility.
Add to this is the very real probability that the insurance companies would use this data to determine if you could be covered by insurance. If you were prone to cancer- say it was a possibility that genetically you MIGHT get cancer, well, they would adjust their coverage accordingly, or deny you coverage altogether. This would be the “business” side of eugenics, and we would pay the cost in not only money, but potential.
Stephen Hawking is a fine example- he would have been killed in the womb, or never been allowed to be conceived, if the judgement was based on his physical condition alone. Yet this man made great strides in our understanding of physics and the cosmos, all while being enormously crippled physically.
The study and application of Eugenics is a very real thing, people, and this brings up the question that “Progressives” hate to hear- just because you may believe you can play God, does that really mean you should? Some things should be left to God alone.
Or as “Progressives” like to worship Darwin, leave the cycle of life to Natural Selection.
