Straight From the Whitehouse: I Will Infringe on the Rights of Gunowners
"Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade."[link]
OH, MY! We can not allow local law enforcement to be uninformed about vital information dealing with ongoing criminal investigations can we?
But wait lets dig into this a bit deeper...a few snippets if you will

- Releasing the information serves no useful purpose.
- Traced guns aren’t always “crime guns”; firearms may be traced for reasons unrelated to any armed crime.
- Trace information remains available for law enforcement use.[Wait a minute I thought this was one of their reasons for wanting to repeal, that law enforcement did not have access?]
- Both BATFE and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) oppose release of trace data.
- Even the current language has allowed too many disclosures of sensitive information.
Sounds to me like the only thing gained from repealing this would be to further his (Obama) anti-2nd Amendment agenda.
I Never Knew One Even Existed
A pro-2nd Amendment politician from NЗw YoЯk?! But of course we then get this from a "lawmaker" in the same state, "Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said yesterday Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand's gun control views make her unacceptable for the U.S. Senate" [link]
Now just try and explain to me how someone who supports the United States Constitution is unacceptable for a seat in a body who's every member takes an oath to uphold the Constitution?
Sounds to me like we need to start finding a bunch of short ropes and tall trees to deal with all the treason that is going around in Washington.

Every Gun You Own Will Become Contraband
Yep, you read it right. There is currently a bill introduced in this session (111th) of Congress that calls for mandatory testing of gun owners, plus a tax, a biometric capable photo of yourself, and fingerprints. And if you can't pass the written test or provide anything else asked for guess what? "Every gun you own will become contraband and subject to confiscation, while you stand trial before imprisonment."
Don't believe me read the bill just click the link, select "Bill Number" and enter "HR 45" HR 45

Also for those interested, a list of proposed ban's by the anti's for the current year here.

'For the children...'
Once more, we hear the minions of gun control starting their high pitched trills. Obama is using the same old tired phrases, "common sense gun laws", "making guns in this country childproof", etc...ad nauseum.
Well I am tired of it, and so are many others. There are currently +20,000 gun laws on the books as of right now, today, at this very hour, at the exact moment you are reading this. We do need any more. How about distilling them into about a dozen or so: No violent criminals may own, possess, attempt to own, attempt to possess, etc... I think we can make that possible with half a dozen to a dozen laws.
Just check out the links embedded in title and in article for more info.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." -- Daniel Webster

An Adherence to the U.S. Constitution? In Washington?
"We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself,"...[article]
I'm not real excited, probably the last time this administration will follow the letter of the law.

HURRAY! MONTANA: Striving For True 2nd Amendment Rights
House Bill 228, is an excellent example of state politicians actually helping out the citizens of their state. All states should adopt this type of legislation. A brief snippet of what this bill contains
- Clarifies the ability of law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm in plain view and to display the firearm for harmless defensive purposes;
- Allows a person who can lawfully possess a firearm and who doesn’t use it to commit a criminal offense to carry it concealed anywhere in the state without first obtaining governmental permission.
For more information...[link here]
And it just gets better, this just came to my attention House Bill 246
Committee Approves Gun Rights Bill
"A bill that would require Wyoming judges to warn defendants that they would lose their federal gun rights by pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence charges received preliminary approval in the state Senate on Monday."[full article]
This is fine and all, but I am about damn tired of all these "steps" in the right direction.
When are people going to realize how little freedom, we, as individuals, actually have left, and start demanding it back, and then if we don't get it, by God we take it back!
How about a law that requires, no DEMANDS, any and all judges that sit on any bench in the United States of America that they must, under strictest penalty of law fully inform a jury of it's right not only to judge the facts in the case, but the law itself. That they may request a statute of the law to read, and that if they find the law incomprehensible or confusing they may acquit on that grounds alone. Or imagine this, they have the right to even vote with their conscience.
We can go further, how about we start looking at every single law passed since 1912. If the law in any way, shape, form, or fashion, violates any part of the United States Constitution, then anyone who helped to bring this law into being be charged with treason, and brought to trial, and if convicted, face the harshest penalty available for their treasonous actions, which would be death. Yep you heard me since 1912, we even disinter the dead traitors and put their corpse(s) on trial and if convicted we hang the bones from the courthouse steps. It would be a national roundup of traitors to the United States. We could start with all past members of Congress living or dead (I am not a cold hearted bastard, this would give those still serving a chance to change their ways and repeal every single oppressive, freedom violating, Constitutional infringing law they ever passed). Wouldn't this send a message to all future members of Congress.
What? some of you say. This is ridiculous! You are a raving lunatic! Am I? lets look for a minute at, 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256, more commonly known as Unconstitutional Official Acts. It very simply states in layman's terms that, "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be In agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail...Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it..."
Also let's not forget the fact that every member of Congress takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Any action taken contrary to what the Constitution allows is a breach of this oath, and treason against the United States.
I tell you what, before we jump into any hasty actions let's just send a copy of 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256, to each and every one of our state and federal representative with a note that says they have 2 months to act and repeal every law, rule, regulation, etc... that violates the Constitution. If not, "We the People" will start taking action!

"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possesion and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"-- Patrick Henry

Colleges Try to Minimize Remedial Work: Or How Public Education Truly Works
"Faced with a mounting number of students who need costly remedial courses...[full article]
I am forced to ask several questions here. Why are colleges even admitting remedial students? Why not have them better prepared before admittance?
"Unless school districts get more involved helping students on the front end...[colleges] might have to cut back on how many under-prepared students they take."
Well now there is an idea(sarcasm).
However, we need to remember that throwing money at education has never been proven to help better prepare students or make them better scholars. The blame here should be on public education, and parents who "allow" their children to be "educated" in public schools.

I Thought We Were on the Brink of a Deppression
"The price tag for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration gala is expected to break records, with some estimates reaching as high as $150 million. Despite the bleak economy, however, Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun."[complete article]
This doesn't surprise me whatsoever. Just another proof that Washington is all about money and not about what the Constitution set it up to be. Obama in an interview with George Stephanopoulos says, "Everybody's going to have to give," Obama said. "Everybody's going to have to have some skin in the game." [link for article]
I guess Obama and all his parties won't have to give as much, or at least not until the inauguration is over...

Statism at its "Best"
"...7,500 active-duty soldiers, 10,000 National Guard troops and 25,000 law-enforcement officers..." [complete article]
That's a total of 42,500 armed government officials prowling the streets of Washingon. This disturbs me greatly. Since when did active-duty soldiers start becoming a private security force. I always thought that was prohibited. Oh yes, but I keep forgetting, the government is not really prohibited from doing anything, only us citizens. How many private citizens do you think will be allowed to carry openly or concealed in Washington?
Let's not even get into the enormous cost to state and federal budgets this will cause. Even though the economy is in the worst shape it has been in, arguably, since pre-WWII. But that's OK, it's for the benefit of the citizens, who will be allowed to "marvel" at the show of "splendor" and of "power" that the government will display for them.
Personally, I will be at home reloading...

Citizen's Declaration of Non-Disarmament
It is time to speak plainly for the good citizens of this nation who believe unbendingly in the Constitution of the United States of America...
The Bill of Rights
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth…. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not..? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know.. it — now." Patrick Henry, 1775
Though foreign governments may disarm their subjects, we will not go down that road. We will not disarm and see our freedoms stripped away. The lessons of history are numerous, clear and bloody. A disarmed population becomes an enslaved population. A disarmed population is without power, reduced to a child-like obedience to the organs of a parental state. A disarmed population will lose those basic rights for which the citizens of America risked their lives and fortunes over 200 years ago.
The right of self-protection is the most fundamental right of all. It is a right that must be exercised against the predators of the streets, against the predators hidden within agencies of law enforcement, and against the most dangerous predators of all—those to be found in government, whose insidious grasping for power is relentless and never-ending.
Not in the face of robbers, rapists and murderers who prey upon our families and friends. Nor in the face of police and bureau agents who turn a blind eye to the Constitution, who would betray the birthright of our countrymen; nor in the face of politicians of the lowest order—those who pander to the ignorant, the weak, the fearful, the naïve; those who indebted to a virulent strain of the rich who insulate themselves from the dangers imposed upon other Americans and then preach disarmament.We will not surrender our handguns. We will not surrender our hunting arms. And we will not surrender our firearms of military pattern or military utility.[rest of text]
I really wish I could take credit for this one. Very, very powerful, one of my favorite writings.
