Maryland Governor Is An Out Of Touch Tyrant

The liberal governor of the people’s Republik of Maryland, Martin O’Malley, is out of touch with the people and he is out of touch with the Constitution (both the US and the State) but he is right in step with Barack Obama.

O’Malley is a tax and spend liberal. He never met a tax that he didn’t hike and he never met a social program that he did not spend (and overspend) on.

And he wants to be president.

O’Malley led the push of draconian and unconstitutional anti gun laws during the last session and those gun laws are set to take effect on 1 October. These gun laws will do absolutely nothing to stop gun violence in Maryland which already has some of the nation’s toughest laws. Criminal upon criminal with felony records routinely get guns and use them in the commission of crimes. The only people affected by O’Malley’s unconstitutional laws are those who actually obey the law.

The law sets up a requirement for a handgun license in order to purchase a handgun, mandates all kinds of training and removes a number of firearms (that the unintelligent call assault weapons) from the list of firearms that may be purchased.

This was all done after the shootings in Newtown which O’Malley used as a reason for tougher gun laws. His approach was that we need to do something because a Newtown might happen in Maryland. O’Malley thinks that the rare possibility of such an incident warrants the infringement upon the rights of the law abiding. Interestingly, the O’Malley State Police refuse concealed carry permits to people who use the reason that they might be a victim of crime as their good and substantial reason for the permit. Yes, Maryland requires people to show a reason in order to exercise a Constitutionally protected right.

In any event, the possibility of being a victim of crime is not enough to get a concealed carry permit but the possibility of a Newtown type shooting is justification enough to impose gun laws on law abiding people who would never do such a thing. In reality, a Maryland citizen is many times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than any school here is likely to experience a Newtown type event. But O’Malley danced on the graves of children to get his unconstitutional gun laws passed because he is against freedom and he is against the Constitution.

The US Constitution protects the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. The State Constitution says that the US Constitution will be the Supreme Law of the State.

O’Malley has violated both.

And the irony is that NONE of the laws being enacted will stop gun crime and none of them would have stopped Newtown.

This is just one step that O’Malley and the gun grabbers have taken. Once their law is in place and crime does not go down they will shoot for a complete ban on guns. We can see how such bans work when we look at Chicago or any Communist nation.

Since O’Malley started this anti gun process the number of applications for firearms has skyrocketed so much so that the approving authority, the Maryland State Police, cannot keep up. The police are in violation of the law that requires them to disapprove or not disapprove in seven days. Gun dealers are allowed to release if no determination has been made in that time but the MSP has put pressure on gun dealers not to release. In other words, to violate the law.

O’Malley sees the increase as a fear. He is surprised and disappointed that so many people have purchased firearms ahead of his Communist type ban. People have a right to fear government that violates the Constitution and they are justified in fearing any government attempt to disarm them.

A disarmed population is not a free population it is enslaved. There never would have been slavery in this nation if those who were enslaved had been armed.

When the only people with the guns are the government and the criminals then we live in a tyranny and Martin O’Malley is a tyrant. He is a tyrant that was aided by his sock puppets in the legislature, some of whom have guns and carry permits.

O’Malley does not like guns except for the ones carried by the six police officers who are protecting him at any given time and the politically connected who get a permit.

You see, he is more important than the people who pay his salary. It is good to be the king.

The schemes enacted by the liberals in this state are designed to keep people from buying guns. They are expensive, burdensome and unconstitutional.

O’Malley can be disappointed all he wants. Real citizens are disappointed in his tyrannical power grab and violation of the Constitution. He is an embarrassment and he should never, ever, be considered to lead this nation.

O’Malley is an abortion supporter and the Supreme Court has decided that an abortion is the right of every woman.

Would O’Malley ever consider legislation that required women to provide a good and substantial reason to get an abortion, to pay for fingerprints and a background check to see if they can get one and then make them sit through training to learn about the ramifications of their decision?

We know the answer to that.

And abortion murders more Maryland children each year than all gun related murders (that are committed by people who will not be stopped by the new laws).

Martin O’Moron is a disgrace and should be put in prison for violating his oath and usurping the Constitution.

And so should any politician who voted for the mess.

Armed Citizen Saves Police Officer

The left’s answer to bad people with guns is to ban law abiding people from having guns thus insuring that only bad people will be in possession of firearms. Criminals do not obey the law, they do not submit to background checks and they do not register their illegally owned firearms. The answer from those who violate their oaths is for you to call 911 and then pray a person with a gun gets there before you are dead.

In reality, the police show up to draw a chalk line around a dead body. If you are armed they draw that line around the bad guy. In the liberal world, they draw that line around YOU.

I have already documented how the police were called (via 911 no less) within a minute of the Newtown shooter shooting his way into the school. All the victims were dead within 5 minutes and the police arrived after that. They got to draw chalk lines around the victims.

Fortunately, there are still states in this union that believe in freedom and uphold the Constitution. Fortunately there are states where the words shall not be infringed have meaning. As an aside, Maryland is not one of them. The Communist governor and his comrades in the legislature have violated their oaths and made law abiding citizens of the state into one of two things; criminals or prey.

Back on point. The great state of Texas is one that believes in upholding and protecting the God given right to keep and bear arms. One police officer is alive, and thankful, that this is the case.

There was a dispute in a neighborhood (a trailer park at that) about dogs relieving themselves on other people’s lawns. This has been an ongoing issue and it came to a head when the neighbor whose property was under doggie assault (Charles Conner) got a gun and murdered the dog’s owners (David House and Iris Valentina) and shot their dogs. Someone called the police and the responding officer (SGT Steven Means) was not able to exit his car before he was under fire from Conner. The shooter was well protected from return fire because he was behind a tree. The officer was trying to keep from getting killed by hiding behind his car.

It turns out that a neighbor (Vic Stacy) who was home watching TV saw what was going on and after watching he assessed that the officer needed help. He had a direct shot, albeit at a distance, at the shooter. Stacy fired a shot and hit Conner knocking him down. He fired several other shots and SGT Means was able to shot him as well.

More police officers arrived (well after all the shooting had taken place) and placed Stacy in handcuffs. SGT Means explained what happened and Stacy was released.

No charges will be filed (who would even contemplate that) and Stacy is being hailed as a hero though he shuns that idea. He agonized over getting involved and had some trouble sleeping after. In other words, he is not some Wild West zealot who wants to kill. He saw an officer in distress and he intervened.

Let’s look at the facts. The nut job Conner murdered two people BEFORE police arrived. He then held an officer at bay placing that officer in grave danger (is there any other kind) and backup did not arrive until AFTER the nut had been dispatched with the help of a private citizen. The police were not even there in time to help one of their own even though the original officer responded to a call for shots fired.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The state of Texas is a place where the rights of good guys are not infringed upon.

SGT Means is probably very happy he is not in a state where the law abiding are disarmed or he might not be alive today.

One can either be protected or prey.

Liberals want to make us prey. Communists like Maryland’s gun grabbing Governor, Martin O’Moron, do not care about the law abiding and they don’t care about the Constitution. They know what is best for you and what will make you safe. And if you listen to them they will tell you just that.

If they can get their voices past their army of ARMED body guards…

The Obama Dilemma

Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) is an anti gun liberal/progressive/Socialist. He does not like guns and, like any typical liberal, he does not think anyone should be allowed to own them. He claims to believe that the Second Amendment is an individual right but that government can constrain that right (it is obvious that some regulation is due but Obama’s idea of constrain is to ban). Obama is on record as supporting state legislation to ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns.

There is no denying that fact because he wrote it on a survey (and yes, he was the one who filled it out).

Obama has been an opponent of the Second Amendment throughout his life. His political career is a testament to the gun grabbers of the left and if he had his way he would ban guns, period.

If he gets reelected he will have “more flexibility” to enact all kinds of bans and work on all kinds of legislative tricks to restrict our rights.

Remember, liberals love to have armed guards around them and they love to be protected but they do not believe that the rest of us (the ones paying for their armed guards) should enjoy the same protection.

Obama has a dilemma on his hands. There has been a 66% increase in gun sales since Obama took office. The upsurge in gun sales has increased by 12 BILLION dollars and accounted for a 30% increase in jobs (98,750) last year. 1

It also led to $2.5 BILLION in federal taxes. 1

If Obama had been able to ban guns in his first term there would have been an even more dismal economy and the jobs reports would be worse than it is.

Obama is not worried about the economy except where it will affect his chances for reelection. He wants the economy to tank so the government can take complete control of everything.

It is ironic that the very thing that Obama hates would provide a boost to the economy and that he would benefit from it.

It is also important to note that Obama will not give up his dream of an unarmed population (which would be a slave population). If he is reelected he will try to ban guns and our government could well try to follow the British or Australian model of disarming citizens (neither of which has solved illegal gun crimes).

There is a reason that so many more people are buying guns. I don’t think it is so that they can just give them up based on the whim of a Socialist who desires to be the Dear Leader of our nation.

The vote in November is very important to the Republic. We have an opportunity to correct a mistake and get back to being a great nation.

In November we have the opportunity to see the end of an error…

When It Gets Tough, People Want Guns

It is well known that Barack Obama is a gun grabber. He opposes gun ownership though he did a great job of pretending otherwise during the campaign. The reality is, he is in favor of banning handguns and most types of ammunition. He is also in favor of huge tax increases on gun and ammo sales and he wants to ban so called assault weapons. When times get tough, people want the security afforded by their firearms and that is why our Founders wrote that the right (which presupposes existence) to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The Obama win has many people worried about the future of firearm availability during the next four years. Gun shows have had record numbers of people attending them and gun shops report increases in the sale of firearms and ammunition. People are worried that they might not be able to buy guns in the future (or that the process will be extremely restrictive) and they are stocking up just in case. When things go bad people need to be able to defend themselves. The police are a reactive force. If they showed up before a crime there would be no problem but they always show up after a crime has taken place. The best source of personal protection is a firearm in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

Look at what happened in India. Ten terrorists caused hundreds of deaths and countless injuries and the police there refused to shoot at them. A photographer indicates that the police hid from the terrorists and did not shoot back. Sebastian D’Souza, a picture editor at the Mumbai Mirror, went to the scene of one of the attacks and was able to take pictures of the terrorists. He noticed that the police were hiding and refused to engage the terrorists. Sebastian told them to shoot because the gunmen were “sitting ducks.” They did nothing and the terrorists had free reign. D’Souza stated:

“I told some policemen the gunmen had moved towards the rear of the station but they refused to follow them. What is the point if having policemen with guns if they refuse to use them? I only wish I had a gun rather than a camera.” [emphasis mine] Belfast Telegraph

We have seen time and again the tragedy that can occur when the citizenry is not allowed to carry arms. Is there any doubt that an armed person at Virginia Tech could have saved countless lives? I have no doubt that many of the police officers in this country would have engaged the terrorists but I am reminded of how the police in New Orleans abandoned the city in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. They are the exception rather than the rule but can we take that chance when our lives are at stake? There is a reason that we cling to our guns and our religion…

An armed citizenry keeps government in check and prevents tyranny (that is why they want to disarm us).

An unarmed citizenry is nothing more than a slave population.
