What Democrats Want, Day 94, Countdown to Oblivion? Shooting Down the Second Amendment



As of today, there are 94days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is the first of a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election scheduled for November 3, 2020.

Guns are not the problem; it is the person misusing the gun that is the problem. But you can’t convince the communistic Democratic Party of that fact.

Totalitarians Always Go After Guns

Hitler, Stalin, all dictators strip the people of their guns, so they cannot fight back. There were calls during the Obama Administration to confiscate guns due to “gun violence.” Should the communistic Democratic Party succeed in gaining control of the entire Congress and the Presidency, you can bet on it that gun owners will be a target.

Gun Rights or Gun Wrongs?

Chicago and Illinois have one of the most stringent gun laws. Ironically, it also has a high crime rate and death rate as a result of guns. What essentially happens is the guns of the law abiding are targeted, thereby leaving the illegal guns in the hands of gangs and other criminal elements.  Chicago Mayor Lightfoot recently blamed surrounding states for supplying Chicago with guns. No, Madame Mayor, you are wrong. The Founders added the second amendment so that citizens could protect themselves from criminals and from a future tyrannical government that may arise. They knew human nature.

Disarm Citizens and Defund Police?

On one hand Democrats favor gun control, the confiscation of guns. On the other hand, there are persuasive factions within the Democrat Party that want to curtail or restrict or even remove law enforcement. What a volatile combination, a left, right punch. You would essentially be empowering criminals.

By contrast, In states that have concealed carry laws there is less crime. It is a powerful deterrent to crime. If a criminal is not sure the person, who he is attempting to rob, must think twice as to whether that person is armed.  

In a recent article about the 2020 Democratic Party platform Johnathan Jones wrote: 



““Democrats will enact universal background checks, end online sales of guns and ammunition, close dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers and some individuals convicted of assault or battery to buy and possess firearms, and adequately fund the federal background check system,” the party says on the subject.
““Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
““We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and ‘red flag’ laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.”
“The party also promises to enact legislation requiring firearms to be stored “safely,” and vows to make gun manufacturers civilly liable for crimes committed with firearms.”
There will be increasing restrictions on law abiding citizens through these measures mentioned above as well as others not mentioned. All of this will be done to confiscate guns from law abiding citizens. The result will be that the only people having guns would be the tyrannical government and criminals. The average citizen will be at the mercy of Big Brother government and that is how dictators want it. 
If the communistic Democratic Party were to win the 2020 election in both Houses of Congress and the Presidency, then eventually individual gun ownership would disappear. Gun rights would be lost.

Gun Rights vs. Gun Control

The well-rested (from his Hawaiian vacation) occupier of the White House is on the wrong side of an issue. Barack Obama announced with typical aplomb and arrogance that he will meet today with his equally lawless Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to discuss better ways to essentially remove guns from law abiding citizens. 

True to form, President Obama, as part of his leftist Destroy-America-Now Agenda, has targeted Guns as the 'problem crisis of the day,' which most assuredly calls for his direct tyrannical intervention. It is not guns, Mr. President. Au contraire, it is people-with-guns --


[criminals,

gangs,

illegal aliens protected in Sanctuary Cities (i.e. Katie Steinle killer),

foreign students & others here with expired visas, and

the mental ill (those released from mental hospitals & those that should be in mental hospitals)]

--- who are the real problem!

How about sending out your Department of Justice (DOJ) to pursue and to prosecute criminals and not patriot Americans who just want to protect themselves. They want the same protection that you and your family have. Aren't you protected at all times by people carrying guns? 

Or is your DOJ is too busy covering up the dastardly deeds done by your Administration (Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton)?

In the video below game show legend Chuck Woolery talks about how applications for concealed carry permits have increased after the San Bernardino (committed by inadequately vetted Islam-inspired terrorists) shooting.

GRABBING THE GUNS OF THE WRONG PEOPLE

Here is what Don Hazen, Executive Editor of the ultra-liberal online leftist red rag AlterNet, wrote recently to his low information readers (that is if their primary source of information is AlterNet!). The title of his briefing was "America's Gun and Violence Crisis." To the Left, they never want a good crisis go to waste. Sometimes they will even invent one is there isn't one. Here is a paragraph from his briefing that blames the NRA for Sandy Hook.

The NRA Problem
With the mass murders, it is the NRA that is most culpable. The NRA has been transformed from an organization primarily about gun safety to one taken over by gun zealots. The NRA protects the ability of virtually anyone to get their hands on guns, even the most powerful assault weapons like those used in recent killings. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the developed world. For the NRA, "freedom" is now defined as the ability to carry a concealed handgun virtually anyplace.

What about the godless, corrupt secular humanistic (unconstitutional) state religion which has replaced true Judeo-Christian values, virtues, principles and practices in our government schools? Doesn’t the Constitution say something about the government establishing a religion?

What about the unenforced immigration laws and our unsecured borders allowing guns and illegals to enter this country in droves? What about our government's Fast and Furious attempt to besmirch gun as an excuse to control guns. Some of them are even Islamic Terrorists?

What about gangs that roam our streets, who don’t bother registering or obeying existing gun laws, or any other laws for that matter?

What about the foolish bleeding heart liberal idea of sweeping the institutionalized and dangerous mentally ill out of mental hospitals and into our streets free to act out their violent impulses without restraint?

What about the innumerable amount of Hollywood produced films and television programs that glamorize the most vile and violent filth corrupting the minds of teens and adult audiences alike?


What about the music industry’s gangster inspired music that glorifies the violent, perverted nature of man? And what about the radio stations and MTV that proliferate this garbage?

What about corrupting influence of groups and organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who protect and promote pornographers and other odious elements of society against the upright and righteousness?

Mr. Hazen you blame the NRA? All they want to do is to protect the God-given right each American has to protect themselves with their weapon of choice. Why do you insist on punishing law-abiding citizens while ignoring the real causes? The root causes are: criminal or culture-killing elements like gangs, gangster rap, bloody movies and TV, wrong public policy dealing with the mentally ill, culture corrupters like the ACLU and Freedom from Religion Foundation?

You want to blame the gun, the ‘assault’ rifle, bullets, clips, magazines, but you ignore the real causes.

Gun violence is a huge problem for our society and a top editorial priority for AlterNet.

You say gun violence is a huge problem. It is the person or persons causing the gun violence that is/are the problem. It is the environment, the milieu, the culture. It is not the guns. It will not help by disarming law-abiding citizens, regardless of what their weapon of choice is.

Let’s go after the real culprits: gang-bangers, the gun runners bringing guns and illegals into this country.

We need to revisit public policy toward the mentally ill. We must look up those who would bring harm to others by their demonstrated past actions and bizarre behaviors

Why not tax or fine the movie, video game, TV, music industries, if they continue to insist on producing violence-inspiring products. We have done that to the tobacco industry. Maybe someone ought to bring class action lawsuits against some of these industries. Maybe that would get their attention. Why doesn’t AterNet get behind this movement? Is it because it does not fit with your political agenda?

Leave law-abiding citizens and their guns alone.

Focus on the root causes of problem of gun violence in our society: cultural corruption, the criminal element including illegal aliens, gang-bangers, the truly insane and THEIR guns.

NRA works to "normalize" gun violence by sponsoring and collaborating with the production and marketing of violent video games, which deeply affect children and adolescents.

This is the most absurd thing I have heard lately. Compared to the sheer volume of very violent Hollywood produced movies and video games and the corrupting affect they have on our children and youth, the NRA is not at all a factor.

Mr. Hazen, you want to disarm the very people, law abiding citizens, who need and who would be the first line of defense against the criminal element, be it an individual, a gang, or a government. What a foolish stand you take. Grab the guns of the right people – the criminals, the gangs, the gun-runners…
I would venture to say that tomorrow when President Obama reviews his 19 actions that he could/will take by executive order to deal with the "Gun and Violence" crisis, he will not address ANY of the real or root causes. All he and the Left want is more control...

Why Banning 'Assault' Weapons is a Bad Idea


An Assault Weapons Ban, is an Assault on Liberty!
Chuck Woolery, former TV game show host and current conservative commentator and activist, presents an excellent argument against the liberal and leftist war against so-called assault weapons. Listen carefully to what he has to say in the video below:

Marine Gunned Down by SWAT Team




This is a very, very, important video!  Please pass it along!  U.S. Marine Manuel Guereña was shot down while a SWAT team was attempting to issue a search warrant on him.  He had no criminal record. There was no reason to believe that he was threat to anyone.  But they came shot him anyway!  Watch the footage of the Oathkeepers memorial service and Sheriff Mack's compelling call to end the militarization of the police.

Chicago Gun Ban Struck Down by the Supreme Court


The Supreme Court has finally used its authority to do something right! Though I don't believe that the fourteenth amendment was properly ratified, I don't think that it was needed in this case. The right to bear arms is a natural right which should be upheld regardless of what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not merely forbid its infringement, acknowledges that it is a unalienable right by calling it "the right". Thanks to SCOTUSBLOG for this great analysis and insight on this breaking story which follows:


McDonald – Incorporation, Irony, and History
McDonald debate, Robert Cottrol

Robert Cottrol - Guest | Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 5:26 pm

Robert Cottrol is a professor at the George Washington University Law School who has written on the Second Amendment, including a 1991 Georgetown Law Journal article, “The Second Amendment: Toward an Afro-Americanist Reconsideration,” which was cited by Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion in McDonald

Yesterday’s decision in McDonald v. Chicago will be examined and debated by constitutional scholars and legal historians for decades. Justice Alito’s decision for the Court, accompanied by Justice Thomas’s concurrence stand as convincing if narrowly accepted rebuttals to two great examples of result oriented historical denial that have long plagued American constitutional debate. The first of these is that the constitution protects no meaningful or enforceable right of individuals to have arms for their own defense. The second is the idea that the incorporation of the Bill of Rights through the Fourteenth Amendment was purely a judicial invention with little or no foundation in the text or history of the amendment. The careful and accurate historical analyses provided in the Alito and Thomas opinions provide a convincing rebuttal of both views as well as furnishing some delicious ironies along the way.

Articles of Freedom, part 5


This is a series of posts concerning the works of the 2009 Continental Congress. Last week I wrote about Article 3 of the Articles of Freedom, which was about the last ten words of the First Amendment, the right to petition the government for Redress of Grievances. Now I will continue with Article 4, the text of which follows. I completely agree with it.

ARTICLE 4.

MILITIAS, FIREARMS AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT

A. REMEDIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO CONGRESS

WHEREAS, the Second Amendment to the Constitution mandates, [that] in order to provide for the security of a free state, "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," and

WHEREAS, a multitude of federal statutes constitute de facto infringement; now

THEREFORE, We, the Delegates of Continental Congress 2009, as Free People of America, do hereby Instruct the Congress of the United States as follows:

1. Repeal all federal statutes regulating the ownership, use and transfer of firearms and ammunition;

2. Repeal any federal statutes which provide for the taxation or registration of firearms and ammunition;

3. Abolish the Department of Homeland Security and thereby return the responsibility for domestic security to the Militias of the Several States; the term militia, inherently separate from the State National Guard, means “Constitutional Defense Force,” comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms, and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and each of the several States;

4. Make statutes providing for organizing, arming and disciplining the Militia and for governing such part of them as may be called to serve the United States and, reserve to the states all other powers relating to the Militia;

5. Encourage and support, and cease and desist from infringing upon, the duty of the People to revitalize the “well-regulated Militia of each of the Several States”.

B. REMEDIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO EACH OF THE SEVERAL STATES

1. Repeal all state statutes regulating the ownership, use and transfer of firearms and ammunition.

2. Repeal any state statutes which provide for the registration of firearms and ammunition.

3. By statute, establish an Advisory Commission On Revitalization of the Militia of their State, in the exercise of their powers over the Militia*, as reserved to the several states by the Second and Tenth Amendments as well as other provisions of the Constitution for the United States; the sole purpose of the said Advisory Commission shall be to study and recommend:

(a) the means, including all necessary State legislation (and where appropriate legislation that authorizes direct and independent action by units of Local government), by which the State can revitalize her Militia so as to provide for her particular requirements of “homeland security” in keeping with strict Constitutional Principles; and

(b) such legislation as may be necessary and proper for Congress to enact in order to fully effectuate the State’s program of revitalizing her Militia, in the context of a national program for revitalizing all of the Militia of each of the several States to some uniform standard of organization, arms, and discipline.

4. The Advisory Commission shall be composed of the following persons: {...here shall be listed the proposed members of the Commission...}.

5. The Advisory Commission shall submit a preliminary report to the Legislature within ninety (90) days of the enactment of the said statute; this report shall contain inter alia a detailed study, with specific recommendations, as to how the Militia can and should be revitalized, with particular emphasis on those areas of “homeland security” which at that time are within the jurisdiction of the General Government’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but the responsibility and authority for the provision of which the Advisory Commission believes can effectively be exercised within the State or by the Militia thereof. Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of that report, the Legislature shall return the report to the Commission with such directives as it may see fit for alterations, corrections, amendments, additions, deletions, and further studies and recommendations. On the basis of the Legislature’s review, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Advisory Commission shall submit to the Legislature a final report, including complete and specific drafts of all State legislation, and recommendations for any Congressional legislation, necessary for revitalization of the Militia of the State.

6. Upon receipt of the Advisory Commission’s final report, the Legislature shall without delay, and in any event no more than thirty (30) days later, adopt such report with such amendments as the Legislature shall deem proper, and then enact such legislation based on such amended report as will most effectively and expeditiously revitalize the Militia: furthermore, the Legislature by Resolution shall urge the Congressional delegation of said State to introduce and support legislation in Congress that adopts the recommendations presented in the Advisory Commission’s final report as amended.

* The term militia, inherently separate from the State National Guard, means ‘Constitutional Defense Force’ comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the states.

C. RECOMMENDED CIVIC ACTIONS BY THE PEOPLE

WHEREAS, the Second Amendment mandates that “the Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” and

WHEREAS, Natural Law affirms the Right to defense of one’s Life and Property, and

WHEREAS, Citizens are reminded that the U. S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land, and that state laws repugnant to the Second Amendment are null and void – including, but not limited to, illegal and unconstitutional restrictions on open and/or concealed carry.

NOW THEREFORE, We, the Continental Congress 2009, declare that a proper method to counter federal usurpation of said Rights is to encourage the People of each of the Several States to study and exercise their Right to keep and bear arms, and to engage in the following civic actions:

1. Meet with your County Sheriff and ask for assistance and guidance in establishing a Constitutional Militia.*

* The term militia, inherently separate from the State National Guard, means ‘Constitutional Defense Force’ comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the states.

2. Converse, build coalitions, and develop networks of communication with like-minded organizations concerning the importance of Constitutional Militias, preparedness, and the protection of our Right to keep and bear arms;

3. Lobby State Legislatures to introduce and/or pass a version of what is commonly referred to as the “Firearms Freedom Act”;

4. Utilize existing “Second Amendment Scorecards” on each of their representatives.

Take Back This Nation, part 1

Another bill which has had so much added to it is H.R. 627. This is actually a bill which supposedly protects consumers from unscrupulous credit card. But Senator Tom Coburn has added an amendment to it which would actually protect hunters from being prosecuted for hunting in Federal Parks. The bill has passed with the amendment and Obama is expected to sign it! But this will be of little consequence if the Obama administration gets its way. (There shouldn’t even be any such thing as a “Federal Park” because this is unconstitutional.)

Two bills have been introduced into the Congress which are both an affront to our liberties. H.R. 45 is a bill that is designed to give government more of an ability to harass people for purchasing guns. H.R. 2159 is a bill which would ban the sale of firearms to people who fit certain profiles which makes them “potential terrorists”. Both of these bills are so long that most congressman will not even read them if they come up for a vote.

Get ready for the Proclamation March! This event will take place Sunday 2 p.m. July 26th in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. The organizers of this event are trying to make this into a nationwide event and are calling for organizers from other cities to schedule a Proclamation Marches around the country. Click here if you are interested. The organizers of this event are not going to stop with the 2nd Amendment, but plan on organizing similar marches for other the amendments in the Bill of Rights which have been repeatedly violated by government in recent years. Get on board now! Let’s show the Establishment that we are not just upset at high taxes! Let’s get this think going!
