That's OK. Unlike Liam Neeson our skills are real and I'd put those skills against any and all "federal" personal/special agents/agencies.

The only way to take the guns from the people is to have the military backing those orders and that's not going to happen.

Congressman’s Wife Launches ‘Mothers Against Gun-Free Zones’

Think someone read our letter concerning the Second Amendment and our ideas concerning "gun free" zones?





Congressman’s Wife Launches ‘Mothers Against Gun-Free Zones’
by AWR Hawkins30 Oct 2015

Christy Stutzman is a wife, former teacher, and mother, who believes the “senseless acts of violence” often perpetrated on school campuses with a gun can be remedied not by taking away guns, but by taking away gun-free zones. To that end, Stutzman is rallying with other mothers around the country to launch Mothers Against Gun-Free Zones.

According to The Washington Times, Stutzman is focused on how her son will be able to maintain his own safety once he heads off to college, and having him in areas surrounded by “no guns allowed” signs does not really inspire confidence.

Stutzman said:


My No. 1 priority is to know with assurance that my son will be kept safe in every way and that, if attacked, he will have the ability and freedom to defend himself. Yes, by all means, we need to discuss the current lack of adequate treatments for mental health. There are obviously major issues that need to be addressed in that area of health care. But until that complicated subject is honestly addressed and corrected, there is one sure-fire, no-fail way to keep our kids safe: No Gun-Free Zones.

She points out that gun-free zones are obvious targets for madmen with guns, yet leaders on the Democrat side appear determined to maintain such zones at all costs–even when the costs include the lives of our children.

Stutzman asserted:


Looking at every mass shooting on record, since 2009, one thing is clear: Gun-free zones don’t protect, they endanger. The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) released a report in 2014 showing that 92 percent of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones. Have we become so politically correct that we are willing to ignore the facts to the detriment of our children’s safety?

She explains that gun-free zones are places that are only theoretically gun-free and/or safe. In reality, the very existence of such zones is “an invitation for those with evil intentions who seek to attack the weak.” Stutzman is urging mothers across the country to come together in Mothers Against Gun-Free Zones and fight to remove the zones, which leave children, young adults, teachers, and professors vulnerable to attack on campuses all over this nation.

Christy Stutzman is the wife of Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN)

If the court declines to hear the case and lets these unconstitutional bans stand, they will send the nation on a nearly inevitable path towards another civil war.

The high court is considering whether to accept an appeal filed by Highland Park pediatrician Arie S. Friedman, 49, who claims the ban passed by the City Council in 2013 violates the Second Amendment because it denies him the right to use his semi-automatic weapons to protect his home and family. The new law required that residents such as Friedman, who owned firearms capable of rapidly firing more than 10 rounds of ammunition, either remove them from the city, modify them or turn them over to police.

Friedman, who filed the lawsuit along with the Illinois State Rifle Association, already has lost in two lower courts. A U.S. District Court upheld the ban last year, and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision. The National Rifle Association has filed a brief to the Supreme Court in support of the suit.

That's ok by me. I just hope it happens soon.

Obama to impose new gun control curbs next week
Washington Post
By Juliet Eilperin January 1 at 6:00 AM

HONOLULU — President Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch on Monday to finalize a set of executive actions on guns that he will unveil next week, according to several individuals briefed on the matter.

White House officials declined to comment on Obama’s plans beyond releasing his weekly radio address on Friday, a day earlier than usual. But according to those familiar with the proposal, who asked for anonymity because it was not yet public, the president will expand new background-check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from high-volume gun dealers.

The president will also use his executive authority in several other areas, these individuals said, but the overall package has not yet been finalized.

In the radio address, Obama said he was moving unilaterally because Congress had failed to address the growing problem of gun violence.

By all means. Curbing new gun control would be a refreshing idea.

Lol, "curbing gun control" ...not in the current alternate universe of emperor Obama.

Prediction: The "buy" numbers will again nudge upwards a tad.

The new target for gun bans: All semiautomatic weapons?
By Eugene Volokh January 8 at 5:52 PM
Washington Post

Back in the 1970s, talk was of banning “Saturday Night Specials” — cheap, generally low-caliber handguns that were supposedly favored by criminals. Actually, criminals, like other people, preferred better, more powerful guns. And to the extent the bans pushed criminals away from the cheap, low-caliber guns and to slightly more expensive, high-caliber substitutes, they might have increased gun deaths, precisely because the high-caliber substitutes were deadlier. (A gun is a criminal’s tool of the trade; a few would-be gun criminals might be put off by having to pay some more for a gun, but many others would pay the extra money if they had to.)

Then talk shifted to so-called “assault weapons” — particular kinds of semiautomatic weapons — partly because these too were seen as unusual and not generally owned by law-abiding people. Quite a few states and cities have indeed banned sales of such weapons, as did the federal government (for newly manufactured) weapons from 1994 to 2004. Of course, especially now, such “assault weapons” are actually pretty common, but bans on them are still being proposed.

And of course now things have moved on: Now we’re hearing calls for bans on sale or home possession of semiautomatic weapons generally. Consider, for instance, Thomas Friedman’s column in the New York Times this week; Damon Linker’s article for The Week this week, though apparently limited to semiautomatic rifles; the Media Matters article hopefully noting a poll of Latinos that showed support for a ban on “semi-automatic and assault weapons” (the polling organization itself characterized the position as “ban semi-automatic weapons”).

These proposals aren’t entirely new; President Obama, when he was a candidate for the Illinois legislature in 1998, said he’d support a ban on semiautomatic weapons. But I’ve been hearing them more and more often — even though semiautomatic guns likely represent close to half of the guns out there in the country. These aren’t calls for restricting supposedly narrow categories of guns that are allegedly used predominantly by criminals. These are calls for banning the sorts of guns that tens of millions of law-abiding Americans have in their homes.

Now if people think that we’d be safer with a ban on semiautomatic weapons, they should of course feel free to argue in favor of such a ban. But, as I suggested in this post earlier today, it’s hard to view gun rights supporters as “paranoid” for worrying that supposedly modest restrictions will lead to broad gun bans, when they see how supposedly narrower past restrictions are indeed being followed by calls for much broader gun bans today.

Thanks for that by way of Volokh's piece; went & read it. Friedman is a guy many people read to find out how they should think in the morning, in the absence of developed independent thought - and he's lost it with this one. Not just the gun quote:
Quote:
Bans on the manufacture and sale of all semiautomatic and other military-style guns and government offers to buy back any rifle or pistol in circulation. It won’t solve the problem, but Australia proved that such programs can help reduce gun deaths.
But you can see the full-on retard trend. Yes, yes, I know it's the NYT but Friedman in the past has largely stuck to foreign affairs & economics. He's gone for a long walk on the ice with this one on a variety of points.

I want Obama to take away your guns By W. Kamau Bell, CNN

Quote:
This country could use that kind of president, with black people in fear for our lives during every interaction with police and with literally every American at risk of some American deciding to take out as many innocent people as possible because ... Jesus and Muslims and women with opinions!...

We could use a President who was, like, "OK. Everybody turn in all your guns tomorrow by 5 p.m. After that, if I catch you with a gun then I'm sending SEAL Team Six to your house with a recent Facebook picture of you and those tanks that shoot fire that we haven't used since Waco -- Ummm -- I mean since World War II."
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/08/opinio...uns/index.html

This is what puzzles me about leftist. They are so intellectually superior yet they can't seen to see that their solutions to gun control is a fascists despot. While in one breath shutting to fear at the thought of an interaction with uniformed public service at the other they want to use another form of public service to kill any non conformist. This would be funny if it wasn't so asinine.

Fixed it for you.


The only thing Bell (who is a stand-up comic able to get quoted by the media) got correct was that, ultimately, the right doesn't trust the current POTUS (or his crew). In a specific sense someone like him is not worth the 'breath' trying to argue with.

You can seldom use facts to move someone holding an irrational position who didn't arrive there via rational argument in the first place.

Some things that might be worth remembering that remain separate from the socialist public discussion of reality:

- Gun control is not about guns, it's about control.
- Bad people will do horrible things to good people in supposedly safe places. (Because bad people don't care about 6x9" signs. Maximizing the chances the bad person will get their shit blown away before achieving their goal works better than dialing 911.)
- The leftist ultimately needs the muzzle of a gun to enforce his "intellectually superior" social ideas. Everyone not with him/her is a "subject." (They don't count on subjects being familiar with history, which is the source of the mistrust.)
- They know all the above, often quite consciously, and do it anyway. (What does that make them?)

The 2d, as with all Ammendments, was inspired by a Christian God. Some people in this Country have forgotten that, some choose to ignore it, and some are vehemently argumentative about it, but it's a fact.

People in this Country used to say, "I can take anything they dish out." Many still do. Too many are looking for a "safe space" that never has existed and never will.

Thank God there are enough normal citizens left to vote these sniveling hippiespawn outta here.

The right to defend oneself, family, property transcends what is merely written on parchment - it is a Natural Right.

Some insight into presidential candidate Governor Christie on the Second Amendment.

This is not interesting merely because a high level politician may have lied on the national stage...but that he misleads with such conviction.

Video at link...it is amusing to watch the real-time unvarnished reactions of law enforcement (sworn or otherwise) to the question of concealed carry in NJ in light of the Governor's comments.

NJ2AS - Future Victims of NJ - Part 5: Christie Lies To The Nation
New Jersey Second Amendment Society


"Published on Jan 17, 2016 Governor Christie continues to tout his supposed commitment to the second amendment on the presidential campaign trail. When he recently professed to have made it "easier" to get a concealed carry permit in New Jersey, we decided to take him to task on this monumental lie. NJ2AS documented employees of law enforcement refuting the lies delivered by the Governor at Fox Business Network debate."
