“Under the Radar” Legislation
And you wonder why us gun owners get worked up over gun control legislation? An article posted by the NRA and Fox News, earlier today, confirms what we have all been fearing. Obama: We’re Working on Gun Control ‘Under the Radar’ Here is the snippet:
On March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, Jim Brady, who sustained a debilitating head wound in the attack, and his wife, Sarah, came to Capitol Hill to push for a ban on the controversial “large magazines.” Brady, for whom the law requiring background checks on handgun purchasers is named, then met with White House press secretary Jay Carney. During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control, “to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda,” she said.
“I just want you to know that we are working on it,” Brady recalled the president telling them. “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.”
So that’s how this is going to go down? Clandestine legislation? Wow. Just WOW! To me, this just admits that Obama and his henchmen know that most
Banning guns is not the answer! Enforce the laws we already have!
of America supports the 2nd Amendment but the smaller group of anti-gunners has deeper pockets and can afford to buy their way into the government. The other problem is that many 2nd Amendment supporters don’t care what legislation rolls off of capitol hill as long as it doesn’t affect their hunting rifles or shotguns. Well, take a look at England. That is how it all started. First it was a ban on automatic guns then certain semi-autos. Then pistols and larger caliber guns. Today, you have to keep your .22 cal pistol and rifle at a government club and you’re not allowed to own anything else! The same thing will happen here. Once we give in for one ban, more will follow. It’s just like the old adage: If you want to boil a frog, put him in a cold pot and turn on the heat. He’ll jump out of a boiling pot when you try to throw him in! The government is the same wall…take away our freedoms one step at a time! Maybe we’ll never notice!
AR15 Sporting Rifle
Back to the legislation. The article mentioned hi capacity magazines as a focus point. Many people agree with this ban because hi cap mags are scary! They also don’t like sporting rifles such as the civilian semi-auto versions of the M16 and AK47 because they are scary! Truth is that there have actually been very few crimes ever committed by owners of sporting rifles and hi cap mags. Sure there have been some instances and there always will be. These guns and mags are generally higher priced and don’t fall into the hands of your average street thug gang banger. If you want to stop crime…enforce the laws that we do have and quit giving second and third chances to the bottom feeders that commit the crimes!
An unarmed society is a bad thing. If all the people are unarmed then they are peasants forced to do whatever the government says. With arms the people stay free. The 2nd Amendment makes all the other amendments possible. So next time you think, “Eh, that high cap mag ban doesn’t affect me!” Yes it does! If we ever have to take up arms against an out of control government or foreign invader…do you want to have a fighting chance or do you want to go to battle with a bunch of BB guns and .22′s? The only reason the Japanese didn’t invade the mainland is because of what Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto knew…“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
This attitude displayed by our commander and chief is some seriously scary shit and it is blatantly disrespectful to the American People! If you guys are OK with any of this, you need to check your priorities LIKE A MOFO!
Voting and You! A Public Service Message…
Voting - Right or Privilege?
So, as the PA Primaries get underway today, I can’t help but think of all the doucebag politicians just wringing their hands at the prospect of serving in a public office! I, myself, find it very hard to vote. Not because I am a bad American or anything like that, but because I just don’t want to vote for any of these losers that say they are going to do this and that but once they get elected, they decide to do what is best for themselves! It doesn’t seem to matter if the position is for school board council member or President of the USA…there are no good candidates worth a vote in my book! I think that the Founding Fathers meant for public offices to be held by regular citizens and only for short terms. Somewhere between 1776 and now, something went wrong…very, very wrong! Today, public offices are held by career politicians. They are rich enough that the average citizen cannot face them in an election. They have the money and backing to basically ‘buy’ the office that they want! People like you and I cannot afford to go up against these tyrants thus we have no chance to win. The viscous circle just keeps going on…when a public official screws up, retires or loses to a candidate with bigger promises and more money, their successors are usually even worse! Where will it end?
The Political system in this country is just too far gone! Personally, I don’t think it can be fixed…it needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up! Serving in a public office should be an honor and privilege, not a career. So, from now on, politicians will get paid the same as their regular job’s last year pay. Terms will be limited to two years max, one year for minor offices. Officials will always answer to the public, none of this “No Comment!” crap! Also, before any candidate is allowed to run for office, they should be required to clearly post their positions on sensitive issues and they must stick to them. Finally, a candidate should be able to run for office no matter what his or her background. A construction worker can serve his country just as well as a greedy lawyer! After all, this is a country of the people, by the people, for the people! Not of the lawyers, by the lawyers, for the lawyers!
If the current political system was revamped even slightly, I would have no reservations about voting. Voting is both an honor and a duty of citizenship but when the system doesn’t work, voting is worthless. Right now…the system doesn’t work! Get the crap out of office and make the rules what they should be and I will personally get out and vote LIKE A MOFO! Every proud American should be ashamed at our current political system!
