Gun Culture

Why I Own a Gun

This just about  says it all.  Now I won’t have to explain my guns and the use of  them…
PEOPLE ASK WHY?

Why I Carry a  Gun
My old grandpa said  to me son,’ there comes a time in every man’s life
when he stops bustin’  knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s
when he becomes too  old to take an ass whoopin’.
I don’t carry a gun  to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep  from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun  to scare people.
I carry a gun because  sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun  because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because  there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun  because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to  see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun  because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because  I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun  because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that  I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be  prepared.

I don’t carry a gun  because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because  I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere  tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun  because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun  because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a
cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun  to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because  men know how to take care of themselves and the
ones they  love.

I don’t carry a gun  because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because  unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am
inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun  because I love it.
I carry a gun because  I love life and the people who make it meaningful to  me.

Police Protection is  an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect  you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens  and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to  die and too old to take an ass whoopin’.

A LITTLE GUN  HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet  Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million  dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
In 1911, Turkey  established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable  to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Germany  established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13  million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded  up and exterminated.
——————————
China  established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political  dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
——————————
Guatemala established gun control in  1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend  themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—-  ————- ————-
Uganda  established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,  unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Cambodia established gun control in  1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend  themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—————————–
Defenseless people  rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56  million.
——————————
It has now been 12  months since gun owners in Australia  were forced by new law to  surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own  Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million  dollars. The first year results are now in:

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide,  homicides are up 3.2 percent.

Australia-wide,  assaults are up 8.6 percent.

Australia-wide, armed  robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of  Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that  while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and  criminals still possess their guns!

While figures over  the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with  firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since  criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a  dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian  politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased,  after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully  ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the  other historical facts above prove it.

You won’t see this  data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this  information.

Guns in the hands of  honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws  adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my  fellow Americans, before it’s too late!

The next time someone  talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are  ‘citizens’.  Without them, we are ‘subjects’.

During WWII the  Japanese decided not to invade America  because they knew most  Americans were ARMED!

If you value your  freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your  friends.

The  purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.  The sword is more important than the
shield, and skill is more  important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is  supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES  EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!   SWITZERLAND ‘S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY  ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.   SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN  RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE  WORLD!!!
IT’S A NO BRAINER!  DON’T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO  MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I’m a firm  believer in  the 2nd  Amendment! If you are too, please forward.

The Obama-ACORN Anti Gun Conspiracy

ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform — a publicly funded national organization is using your tax dollars to actively interfere with the Second Amendment exercise of gun rights in New Jersey and elsewhere.

ACORN went public with its gun control activism when it intervened in an unsuccessful attempt to defend Jersey City, New Jersey, a hot bed of anti-gun rights extremists, to disarm its citizens with a local gun control ordinance. ACORN pushed for stronger local gun restrictions that were already struck down by the New Jersey state court as a violation of state law.

Obama and ACORN’s interest is in disarming law-abiding citizens.

It is an outrage that this group has intervened to defend an anti-gun ordinance that has already been declared illegal by the court. So long as ACORN accepts one penny of public funding, the organization should remain absolutely neutral on social issues, political campaigns and especially legal actions defending the right to keep and bear arms.

For the past few election cycles ACORN has clearly grown more partisan toward the radical political Left. ACORN’S PAC, in fact, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president, even though their tax-exempt status prohibits endorsement of political candidates. That’s hardly surprising since he used to serve as their legal counsel and he taught the group about community organizing. ACORN and Obama are lockstep in seeking to destroy our Second Amendment rights.

We call upon the FBI to expand the scope of its ACORN investigation and focus on the group’s involvement in the Jersey City case.

We support Ohio Congressman John Boehner’s request that the White House immediately block all federal funding of ACORN activities until this group’s questionable activities are fully investigated. We want to know how they are paying for attorneys, and why Seton Hall’s Center for Social Justice and the Public Interest Law Center are providing legal assistance to ACORN for this effort.

ACORN has, since 1998, received an estimated $31 million in government funding. Yes, Obama knows a great deal about ACORN and its role in the bailout mess. He is a central figure in the left-wing ACORN exploitation of financial institutions to pressure them to make high risk loans. The very same left-wing ACORN that was sued for voter fraud in our last presidential election.

Obama’s presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to a front of ACORN, currently under investigation in a dozen States for voter registration fraud and bribery schemes, for “get-out-the-vote-efforts”;

Obama co-sponsored legislation called the “Helping Families Save their Homes in Bankruptcy Act of 2007″– that was supported by ACORN and protects them from prosecution and any responsibility for causing the largest financial crisis since The Great Depression.

“Bad enough that ACORN is implicated in fraudulent activities in several states, but now an ACORN chapter in the Garden State is working against the ability of New Jersey gun owners to exercise a constitutionally protected individual civil right to own a handgun,” said former NYPD detective, Sid Frances.

This is still the United States, not a socialist gulag. Public money should not be given to private organizations which then turn around and utilize that funding to usurp the electoral process and erode constitutionally guaranteed civil rights.

The fact that the federal government would even consider using ACORN as part of its 2010 Census to disenfranchise gun rights supporters is cause for Americans to be very concerned.

All that seems to be on the minds of Anti-Gun Obama and at the offices of gun control extremists is figuring out how to invade your privacy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of self-defense.

Lautenberg Attacks Gun Culture – Fight Back Now!

Lautenberg Attacks Gun Culture
Fight Back Now!

Gun Hater Lautenberg Proposes “Extraordinary Powers” Be Given To the U.S. Attorney General To Limit Gun Sales.

Obama and the White House are looking the other way as Lautenberg seeks to ban guns from 1,000,000 US citizens on a secret FBI terrorist watch list. Obama has deliberately and repeatedly lied to America’s 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone’s firearms. Now Obama’s silence endorses Lautenberg’s latest attempt at banning guns.

Lautenberg has now introduced bill S. 1317 that would give the attorney general the discretion to block gun sales to people on terror watch lists. We must defeat this bill from giving extraordinary powers to limit gun sales to the Attorney General.

Lautenberg To Reveal Names on Secret List

The names of the people on the watch list are secret, and Lautenberg said he was frustrated by the F.B.I.’s refusal to disclose to investigators details and specific cases of gun purchases beyond the aggregate data.

Gun hater Lautenberg requested the gun grab study from the Government Accountability Office. He is using statistics, compiled in the report that is scheduled for public release next week to invade US citizen’s privacy and put more restrictions on the Second Amendment.

Lautenberg said he wanted a better understanding of who is being allowed to buy guns.

How you ask? Trial by innuendo and misinformation that has put 1,000,000 Americans and maybe even you on a terrorist watch list without your knowledge by saying: people placed on this government’s terrorist watch list can be stopped from getting on a plane or getting a visa, and will also be stopped from buying a gun.

Lautenberg wants gun purchases stopped for just being on the list. Current law states federal officials must find some other disqualification of a would-be gun buyer, like being a felon, an illegal alien or a drug addict.

Is your name on the list and can you get it removed?

The government’s consolidated watch list, used to identify people suspected of links to terrorists, has grown to more than one million names since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It also has drawn widespread criticism over the prevalence of mistaken identities and unclear links to terrorism.

A CNN story raises questions about mistaken identities on the list – James Robinson is a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and a commercial pilot for a major airline who flies passenger planes around the country.

James Robinson is a retired brigadier general and a commercial pilot. His name is on the terrorist “watch list.”

He has even been certified by the Transportation Security Administration to carry a weapon into the cockpit as part of the government’s defense program should a terrorist try to commandeer a plane.

But there’s one problem: James Robinson, the pilot, has difficulty even getting to his plane because his name is on the government’s terrorist “watch list.”

That means he can’t use an airport kiosk to check in; he can’t do it online; he can’t do it curbside. Instead, like thousands of Americans whose names match a name or alias used by a suspected terrorist on the list, he must go to the ticket counter and have an agent verify that he is James Robinson, the pilot, and not James Robinson, the terrorist.

“Shocking’s a good word; frustrating,” Robinson — the pilot — said. “I’m carrying a weapon, flying a multimillion-dollar jet with passengers, but I’m still screened as, you know, on the terrorist watch list.”

History Repeating Itself?

The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to “…persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit.”

Lautenberg Must be Stopped

Recently Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) have joined Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and victims and family members of the Virginia Tech tragedy, to introduce legislation to eliminate the private transfers of firearms and close the nation’s “gun show loophole.”

This Senate bill is in the Judiciary Committee, chaired by anti-gun liberal Democrat Leahy. Lautenberg’s gun hate is well documented and he says you are irrational if you support private gun sales.

“There is no rational reason to oppose closing the loophole. The reason it’s still not closed is simple: the continuing power of the special interest gun lobby in Washington” Sen. Lautenberg said ignoring the Constitution.

Lautenberg and the Gun Grabbers in the Senate are now tying to use the GAO to justify putting Americans on a secret gun ban list.

LAUTENBERG’S MOTIVES

Motives for his latest gun ban to are twofold:

• First, he is taking small steps to enact gun control legislation this is just one step.
• Second, eradicate the gun culture altogether.

All that seems to be on the minds of the Anti-Gun Senators and at the offices of gun control extremists is figuring out how to invade your privacy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of self-defense.

Now the Anti-Gun Coalitions are trying to use a self supporting GAO study to destroy the right of all Americans to keep and bear arms to protect themselves under the law. They are attacking and hiding behind an Anti-Terrorist Agenda while getting political and financial support from:

George Soros a Hungarian-born billionaire bank rolling efforts with his check book and spending more that $100 million to destroy the Constitution.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA) admitted that “guns would be banned and confiscated” if she could have her way.

The United Nations actively pushes globalism seeking to disarm all Americans.

We must Stop the Anti-Gun Coalition and get ready for the biggest gun control fight of the year from coast to coast. We can not do that without your support.

Stand up against this attack! Stand up for the right to not only defend yourself, but to defend your family, your children, your friends, and your classmates!
