So now that it has been made obvious to the Marxists this nation unfortunately elected to run things for another four years that they will not be able to get their weapons confiscation schemes through the legislative process, they have settled on a different tactic. We are about to be visited by our good friend, executive fiat, once again. These clowns acting in a lawless manner should surprise no one, as it is what they’ve been up to for the better part of four years now. Many of them are no longer hiding the fact that they view our founding documents as a nuisance, openly calling for our Constitution to be discarded, and rendered obsolete. While it is true that our Judicial Branch is responsible for keeping an eye on these particular types of infringements against our Constitutional rights, those particular cogs of our system of checks and balances move ever so slowly.
So, let’s take a look at the central issue here, that particular bit of our Constitution that is going to be circumvented with this maneuver.
The Second Amendment to our Constitution:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of
a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed
When campaigning for his boss in 2008, Joe Biden promised in Pennsylvania that his boss, “better not come after my guns.” We go through this every four years, where the Democrats try to convince us that they have no intentions of infringing themselves upon our right to both keep and bear arms. There has been much debate about how that Amendment should be read, and it is truly a Rorschach test for political leanings. Never mind that the people who wrote the document, and more specifically the guy who wrote that particular Amendment, George Mason, took great pains to explain exactly its meaning, somehow, comma placement and the phrase, “well regulated militia,’ seems to have clouded the issue for that half of our population with a reading comprehension problem that can only be attributed to an Ivy League or public school indoctrination.
George Mason on the Second Amendment:
To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.
James Madison, the man who wrote the Constitution and submitted it for ratification by those who wanted to form our little republic, believed the first 8 Amendments to be extraneous. His argument was that since the specific authority to do those things guarded against with the Bill of Rights was not granted, then of course our government could never do them. That was why the 9th and 10th Amendments were written and included in the document as a whole. He wanted to make it impossible for the government to ascribe itself any more power than our national agreement granted.
For the leftists who might read this, when I purchase a weapon, it will not be because I wish to go hunting. It will not be because I wish to form a militia. It will not be because I want to go target shooting. It will be none of your business why I may or may not purchase that or anything else. It is my right to do so, and to do it privately. I do not need a reason. I may not even have a reason. Just be thankful that shooting busy bodies is illegal.
As for the idiots that published the maps that showed the locations of homeowners possessing hand guns and such, were I not a gun owner living in that neighborhood, I would be even angrier that you did something so stupid. For you see now, every criminal in that area now knows who can defend themselves, and who is, “easy pickins.” You have done more to increase gun violence in America than any one else possibly could have.
Cross Posted from Musings of a Mad Conservative.
Both crime and murder are down by nearly half in the last 20 years, while gun ownership is up by half, yet the liberals are frantic to enact sweeping gun restrictions as though impending doom will surely consume us if it’s not done immediately.
The fervor with which they are selling “gun control” of late should give even non- gun owning “moderates” pause.
Even if one discounts that this is part of a pernicious and wide-ranging conspiracy on the Left to “disarm and oppress”, It’s hard to discount that it’s about authoritarianism, and that every left-of-center politician in the country is eaten up with it.
They’re not trying to save us, they’re trying to control us, whether it be in the form of guns, french fries, big gulps, or Vicodin in emergency rooms and that’s quite pernicious enough for me, thank you.
James Madison was clearly wrong. As we’ve seen with guns, just because the government is expressly forbidden to do something doesn’t mean that it won’t still do something. It has been nearly 80 years since the NFA was passed under FDR. The gun controllers are like rust. Thy never sleep, and they work by increments. The NFA was the start of it, and if you take the Second Amendment seriously, the NFA is a significant infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. By allowing so-called “reasonable” gun control measures to stand without challenge, we simply have sped the time to which unreasonable measures would be demanded. If we had a decent Supreme Court that would reat the Second Amendment with at least as much respect as the unenumerated “right” to an abortion, we wouldn’t have any of this nonsense going on. As I’ve been saying, gun controllers are anti-civil rights as surely as if they were screaming “Segregation Forever!” They need to be treated as such.
The left paints Conservatives with the ‘homophobe’ or ‘Islamophobe’ brush for any disagreement with either group.
Would it work as well to paint the left with the brush of being ‘hoplophobes‘?
@ Iron Fist:
Since the Constitution apparently gives the right to taxpayer funded abortions, then I think the Constitution should provide me with a taxpayer purchased .38 or .44. Plus ammo.
@ mfhorn:
I’m thinking I want a taxpayer funded M-249 SAW. With a suppressor. Unregistered, of course. Registration is unconstitutional. I just wish the Supreme Court would get around to saying that. I don’t trust John Roberts any more. It is clear that we need some serious Second Amendment Jurisprudance. “Shall not be infringed” is pretty strong language. I don’t see how you get away from strict scruitney with that strong a language in the Amendment. Like I said, I just want the Second Amendment protected as much as the right to an abortion. That’d pretty much mean I could have anything I want, wouldn’t it?

@ rain of lead:
Hey, we need to contact our State Senatorss and Congresscritters. Did you see what I posted yesterday about Wyoming?

We have a Republican super-majority in our house and senate as well as a Republican governor. We should be able to pass this kind of law.
@ Iron Fist:
should is very much the key word
Interesting. Tennessee has a Firearms Freedom act that appears to apply to suppressors. I wouldn’t really want to risk it. The Feds are real serious about suppressors. My dad had a friend that got five years federal time for an unregistered suppressor. But it is interesting that they specifically mention sound suppressors in the law. I saw someone selling a semi-suppressor at one of the gun shows a year or two ago that was manufactured in Tennessee. I guess this is how they were doing it.

Retaliation for gun permit disclosures continues
When Gawker writer John Cook link-baited by publishing a two-year old list of the names of gun permit holders in New York City, Cook’s personal information was put online in retaliation.
One of the people behind these retaliatory information disclosures, who runs a website with names, addresses, telephone numbers and photos of various journalists homes and family members, now has posted an Anonymous-style video threatening more disclosures:
@ Iron Fist:
I know you are but be very careful in this. I would love an SBR with an integral suppressor but I don’t want to pay the price and don’t want to be on any federal list owning any firearms. With the current admin playing their games, being a “grey man” is the best course for now.

@ Rodan:
John Roberts is a conservative. He’s not on my side.
@ MikeA:
Oh, I am with you. I am very careful not to violate the law. Like you, I’d like and SBR with suppressor. I consdider that to be the optimal home defense weapon. Unfortunately, the Unconstitutional NFA stands in th eway of that. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that SBRs ddn’t pose an extraordinary threat. That was before Heller. I don’t see how the SBR restriction survives if we can get a case to the Court, but I sure don’t want to be a test case.

I don’t know how he would vote now. He’s going to have his chance to prove himself one way or another, though. There are a couple of cases winding their way towards the Supreme COurt on whether the Second Amendment conveys the right to carry (i.e. bear) arms. You have a 7th Circuit case where they ordered Illinois to implement some form of Shall Issue Concealed Carry law. That is pretty big. I am sure Illinois will appeal. The court might just let the 7th Circuit decision stand, though. That would be a win, but I’d like to see the Supreme Court affirm it. We have four solid votes in Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and Alito. Roberts should be a fifth. He was in Heller and McDonald. But I think he is scared of Obama. I don’t think he has really switched sides.

Mexico’s Most Feared Drug Cartel has Entered the Coal Mining Business
According to the US government, los Zetas are the most technologically advanced, sophisticated, and dangerous cartel in Mexico In the past few years they have taken control of Mexico’s Coahuila region in the north, along the border of Texas, and are now starting to thrive like never before. Los Zetas covertly entered the region, and under the threat of extreme violence for those who didn’t cooperate they swiftly brought every aspect of commerce, politics, and business under their control in less than three years.
The state of Coahuila is rich in coal, and mining the fuel offers los Zetas a rare chance to actually make money in a legal manner, as opposed to the normal rackets of drugs and sex trafficking.
The coal is mined through their own poorly paid workers, or bought at a low price from small miners, who are forced to sell their product. Los Zetas then resell the coal onto a state-owned company for a profit that is 30 times greater than the initial investment.
This setup is proving hugely lucrative for los Zetas, estimated to earn them around $25 million a year. Humberto Moreira, the former governor of Coahuila, said that the practice has even become more profitable than drug running.
@ Iron Fist:
Well, no. They said the state had to have some provision for concealed carry by citizens. They did not say it had to be what is commonly referred to as “Shall Issue.” There are quite a few “May Issue” states, like CA. What was found unconstitutional (so far) is “No Issue”, of which IL is the sole remaining example.

Absolutely. The California legislature has a bill on the table once again to ID ammo sales and register them. I can’t help but think this is a backdoor plan to find out what guns you supposedly own. For instance, if there is a big sale on .223 ammo at the WalMart where I live and I pick up 200 rounds, under that bill I’d have to ID and register the purchase. Except I don’t own a .223 -- but a friend who lives in a county that doesn’t allow ammo sales in WalMart does, and I’m taking advantage of the sale on his behalf. Betcha with the libturds in Sacto, I’ll be getting a letter from the Attorney General asking why I’m buying .223 ammo when there’s no record of me owning a .223.
If this passes, I’ll drive to Reno and buy my ammo at Cabella’s.

Actually, one of the real problems with California is the way it’s legislature is structured. Both houses are based on population. If, for instance, our State Senate was one senator per county, we’d have a good conservative Senate, because if you ever look at a map, there are more red counties than blue. But it isn’t. I’m told it’s because of Baker v. Carr that it’s one man, one vote and it’s inequitable because it would mean people in Mono County (small population) and the people in Los Angeles County (huge population) would have the same representation.
