What Democrats Want, Day 54, Countdown to Oblivion? GUNS


As of today, there are 54 days 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 one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election

Which party is pro-Second Amendment, and which is pro-Gun Control?  That’s easy. The communistic Democratic Party is for gun confiscation. The liberty-oriented Republican Party is for citizens maintaining the inalienable right to bear arms.

Democratic Party Targets Guns

“The 2020 Democrat Party platform is rife with gun controls that include an all-out ban on online ammunition sales and a push to require every state in the Union to license gun owners.” That statement is from an August 2020 Breitbart article.  Some other gun control policy items which the article mentions which the Democratic platform includes are:

Ø  securing universal background checks (13 states already have these checks)

Ø  banning online gun sales

Ø  open gun makers up to lawsuits by repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (2005) that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability

The Democrat politician is always quick to blame the gun for the crime especially school shootings. They seem to lose sight of the fact that there is a human being using the gun. The criminal is the problem. It is not the gun, which is an inanimate object. It cannot shoot itself.

Just look where the most restrictive gun laws are currently in effect. Take Chicago for example. There are more murders there on any given weekend than almost any other place in America. What eventually happens is that guns get confiscated, restricted or licensed for law abiding citizens, but the illegal guns in the hands of gang members and criminal elements are not dealt with. So, you end up with only bad guys having the guns.

In states that allow concealed carry, no or less restrictive gun laws there is usually less crime. The criminal never know when he might be messing with someone who is carrying. That is a great deterrent.

Republicans Support the Second Amendment

We uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a natural inalienable right that predates the Constitution and is secured by the Second Amendment. Lawful gun ownership enables Americans to exercise their God-given right of self- defense for the safety of their homes, their loved ones, and their communities.

Ø  We support firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states.

Ø  We support constitutional carry statutes and salute the states that have passed them.

Ø  We oppose ill-conceived laws that would restrict magazine capacity or ban the sale of the most popular and common modern rifle.

Ø  We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law.

Ø  We condemn frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the current Administration’s illegal harassment of firearm dealers.

Ø  We oppose federal licensing or registration of law-abiding gun owners, registration of ammunition, and restoration of the ill-fated Clinton gun ban.

Conclusion

The Republicans are the Law and Order party and hold public safety as a priority. In radical opposition to the second amendment, the Democrats are the party of lawlessness and chaos. What a contrast between the two parties!

The voter has a clear choice come election time this fall.

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.

Trumps First 100 Day Do List, A Progressive and a Conservative Viewpoint




Here is my response to the AlterNet article, "16 Worst Things We Can Expect From Trump's First 100 Days Real damage awaits as Trump and the GOP take power," referred to below.  


"Except for Number 9, which I would substitute with the following, "Protect the freedom to express one's religious beliefs by abolishing the hateful vile Obama Administration's transvestite and homosexual condoning mandates in our schools and in the military," I would concur with the most of list that the author outlines. This is an excellent list for President-elect to follow and to implement in his first 100 day. There is much that needs to be reversed from the previous 8 years...


"Refusing to participate in or in committing an abortion by a physician or nurse, to pray anywhere, to celebrate Christmas in public, to have the freedom NOT to participate in a same-sex "marriage" without penalty of the law are a clear expression of a true Christ-follower's right and freedom of conscience. Sexual perversion should never trump freedom of religious expression/belief."

I added some comments to the list outlined by the article's author following the quote:

America’s system of political checks and balances may vanish in the first 100 days of a Donald Trump presidency and Republican-run Congress. Facing no restraints other than protests they can ignore, Republicans driven by far right-wing ideologies, partisan score-settling and fealty to corporate America may seek to erase all traces of the Obama years and reset the political and judicial stage for years to come.

It’s not just Trump’s draconian campaign pledges that stand to be initiated or imposed. House tea partiers who have been obstructing and investigating the Obama administration for years and Senate Republican leaders who put their party’s interests before the nation by blocking jobs bills, infrastructure bills and Supreme Court nominees, now feel vindicated.

Let’s go through 16 worst-case scenarios that could mark Trump’s first 100 days.        

1. Special prosecutor targets Hillary Clinton
. This goes beyond the chants of “lock her up” at Trump rallies. During the debates, Trump said that Hillary Clinton deserved to be in jail, and many House Republicans were fuming that the FBI announced her use of a private email server didn’t warrant a Justice Department prosecution. The House, and the U.S. attorney general, both have the power to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate any government officials for misconduct in office. Will they?  read more.

A BRAND NEW AGENDA, GOOD OR BAD?

"1. Special prosecutor targets Hillary Clinton..." Do a comprehensive investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton if Obama has not "pardoned" her before he leaves office, or if she has not fled the country. 

"2. Scalia clone to Supreme Court..." Or, appoint a true conservative justice who will interpret and not make laws, which is a function reserved for Congress.

"3. Scuttle international treaties..." Or, revisit all treaties to see which need to be renegotiated to be fair to America. 

"4. Climate change denial actions..." Or, employ true science and reason in the debate that alleges man-causes massive climate change. Expose the hoax.

"5. Roll the clock back on abortion..." Better yet, how about ending abortion? End the savage child abuse and genocide once and for all? Oh, and completely defund Planned Parenthood. Stop subsidizing this abortion giant. Abortions are 1/3 of what they do.

"6. Sign a law repealing Obamacare..." Or, repeal and replace this onerous law enacted by deceit.

"7. Repeal Obama’s immigration orders..." Return to the notice of enforcing existing immigration laws, not turning a blind eye to the massive entry of illegals over our border and those who overstay their visas.

"8. Start building a Mexico border wall..." In other words, begin to do whatever is necessary to secure our borders. Let Border Agents do their jobs.

"9. Normalize bullying and hate crimes..." Since when is expressing ones sincere religious beliefs "bullying" and "hate"? Truth is indeed hate to those who hate the truth!

"10. Repeal other Obama executive orders..." Restore separation of powers, which Obama grossly overreached.

"11. Pre-empt the pot laws passed by states..." Again, how about following the laws on the books. There are provisions to change the law, federal or state. Let's not take short-cuts to implement more perversity.

"12. Loosen gun controls nationwide..." How about protecting gun rights instead of implementing gun-control and gun-free zones? How about going after the real culprits, the drug cartels and gangs who own illegal guns?

"13. Roll back consumer protections..." How about loosening regulations and letting the market work? 

"14. Start the privatization bandwagon..." How about having the government concentrate on its enumerated powers and responsibilities - like national securtiy - and back off of everything else? Let the states and individuals and the market work.

"15. Cut taxes, increase military spending..." What a novel idea! Cut taxes to boost the economy. Increase military readiness in anticipation of what our enemies may try to do.

"16. Bomb ISIS and increase foreign wars..."  How about playing to win? Untie the hands of our military to prosecute any conflict in which we are involved.

CONCLUSION

The AlterNet author unknowingly outlines a good initial list of what the President Trump Administration should do to correct the vast mistakes of the past 8 years... He has a real challenge. He needs our support and prayers to accomplish this list and more!

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.

When Guns Become Illegal ...




"It does not matter if Obama outlaws my semi-automatic. It won't be illegal, just undocumented."

Hat tip for the above tweet goes to Michael Leonard @Soshajustis.
 This is a 'progressive' response to gun grabbers everywhere...

Washington Audacity or Idiocy?

I'm puzzled. Why is the U.S. Senate wasting precious time focusing on Gun Control and Amnesty, when it should be coming up with a Budget and working on avoiding another last minute, manufactured, avoidable Debt Ceiling crisis?
 
Where are the leaders?

It has been four years since the last budget has been submitted by the Senate. Harry Reid is not doing his job. Mitch McConnell is allowing him to get away with it. Both the GOP and the Democrats are culpable.

We really need term limits to throw these bums out. They are derelicts. They are spending addicts. They are power hungry, and concerned with one thing, siphoning as many funds for themselves from We The People, the American taxpayers.

Yes, it’s time to throw the bums out again in 2014. The Ray Stevens Video below is a few years old, but it is still applicable to 2013, and more importantly to 2014.

Let’s pass term limits, too…

The bums’ posteriors, which currently amply fill Congressional seats to capacity in Washington, D.C. are refusing to deal with core issues. They like to deal with side issues and want to obfuscate instead of deal with the main problem(s) head on… So, let’s get some new blood – replace the whole lot!

Let’s follow Obama’s “new” Organizing for Anarchy (OFA), the Saul Alinsky model used so successfully by the Left, and the main stream media relentless pursuit as an agenda example.

However, let’s not use the tactics of the Left: perpetual lies, distortions, race-baiting, etc., but let’s learn from them. Instea, let’s use truth, education, and historical foundational principles. Let’s begin recruiting, championing, and campaigning for some real unBoehners, true Conservatives, as well as Conservative ideals and values …

Here are just 15 of the Lies of Liberalism


I read an article, 15 Lies of Liberalism, this morning at TownHall.com. It is a great article that catalogues some of the lies being perpetuated by the Left. Here is a highlighted version of the article’s 15 Liberal lies:


(1) it's about choice - unless you want to choose which gun or light bulb to use, which school to send your child to...

(2) it cares about the environment, unless you are a resource-wasting lib like algore...

(3) You can have lots of free government services and somebody else will pay for them...

(4) As long as you use birth control that someone else is forced to pay for, there are no consequences...to lots and lots of sex...

(5) "government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn."

(6) it's all about compassion and taking care of the less fortunate, unless a libs own money is on the line...

(7) You shouldn't take your Christian faith seriously, politically correctness matters more than the Bible...God...

(8) How much our country spends can ber dictated by our wants, not affordability...

(9) Liberals want unity and bipartisanship by spewing pure hatred and smearing, demonizing, threatening, and lying about anyone who disagrees with them.

(10) It’s going to deliver equality of outcomes for everyone by making us all poorer

(11) It cares about women -- unless they're conservative women...

(12) It'll help the poor -- and it does...to live in ghettos with just enough food and money to survive so they can stay dependent on liberals...

(13) Liberals are the only people who care about black Americans and want to help...like Detroit where they have been in power for years?

(14) Small business owners were able to build their businesses because they were lucky...

(15) You can fix crime by taking away guns from the law abiders voluntarily...

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...
