ANOTHER LEGAL INSURRECTION – this time it’s Law Enforcement as Sheriffs across the nation stand up to the lunacy of gun control.

A dozen or more Missouri sheriffs have signed a pledge not to enforce gun control:

“The President comes from Chicago, the city with the strictest gun laws and worst gun violence in the country. It has been proven time and time again that taking guns from law abiding citizens only emboldens thugs, thieves, and rapists, not stop them from committing crimes,” Dixon said.

“In 1975, New York state had over 80 school districts with rifle teams. In 1984, that had dropped to 65. By 1999 there were just 26. The state’s annual riflery championship was shut down in 1986 for lack of demand. This, sadly, is a familiar story across the country.”

I was given my first rifle at 8. Not b-b gun. Rifle.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. was a demonstrable plagiarist, with an illegal name (a name never legalized). He was Communist-supported, and represented profound personal deception and hypocrisy.”

I believe a good strategy for 2016 would be to promote Ralph Nader’s nomination for President of the United States on the Democratic Party’s ticket.

Work should begin immediately to promote a positive image of Ralph Nader among progressives and leftists. Perhaps we could use Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign as a model.

Dems and Their Gun Money
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/338186/dems-and-their-gun-money-betsy-woodruff
January 21, 2013

[...]

One example that involves a number of Washingtonians is the financial firm TIAA-CREF, which provides retirement services for the public and nonprofit sectors and manages the accounts of a number of leading Democrats. According to disclosure forms published by the Center for Responsive Politics, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has money in a TIAA-CREF fund that invests in both gun companies. TIAA-CREF has come under fire (word choice, I know) for investing in both Smith and Wesson and Sturm, Ruger.

[...]

After winning her race, Warren wrote an op-ed for the Bay State Banner on her plans to support the reinstatement of the assault-weapons ban, concluding, “We owe this to all our children.” It’s doubtful whether the companies that help fund Warren’s comfortable retirement account see it the same way.

[...]

Now that Republicans are demanding a budget in exchange for a debt limit hike, Senate Democrats are singing a different tune. “We’re going to do a budget this year, and it’s going to have revenues in it,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told David Gregory on Meet the Press yesterday.

That is a pretty bold statement. We’ll see if the six Democrats up for reelection in states Romney won in 2012 are as eager as Schumer is to vote for tax hikes heading into 2014.

Imagine a Bush effort to teach the press how to positively report on Iraq, and how that would be received.

Oh. Wait…

You can’t.

Just saw at Fox news that NY paper is taking down the list of gun owners

Hi, I’m looking for a site that has data responding to the usual Dem talking points, with lots of references to public material.

Some specifics:
“Bush WH misled country on Iraq WMD” – I have seen statements that then-President Clinton, and the governments of England, France and Germany all made, saying Iraq had WMD. This was all prior to Bush’s election. But having those links in one spot would be tremendous.

“Gun control laws reduce gun violence” – looking for comparisons – like what happened in Australia, England, Chicago, etc. on changes in gun violence as laws were changed (either tightened or made looser).

“Gun violence is a major cause of violent death in USA” – stats for other violent deaths, plus accidental or health-related deaths (people dying at 45 from severe obesity, smoking, alcohol, etc.)

Thanks, All!

HELP SPREAD THE WORD…STOP AGENDA 21 IN NEBRASKA!!!!

Senator Bill Kintner from Papillion has submitted a bill modeled after Alabama’s state law to ban Agenda 21 in Nebraska! He needs our support to know that the conservatives are behind him – if you haven’t yet emailed, called, or written him a personal note, would you please take a minute to do that? He needs to hear from ALL of us by Friday to know that we are out there and are grateful for his interest in this issue!

THANKS A BUNCH!!!

Senator Bill Kintner 402-471-2613
email: wkintner@leg.ne.gov
address: State Capitol, Room 1115, PO Box 94604, Lincoln, NE 68509-4604

p.s. A note to those that are a little shy about contacting elected officials…..Senator Tony Fulton told me once that state legislators really want to hear from their constituents, but they rarely do – if they get 8 to 10 letters, they think it’s a landslide and know they need to pay attention! We have 30 plus in our sub group, so if we all wrote in or contacted him, we could create an avalanche!!! Personal notes are the best because it shows you care enough about the issue to take the time to write, but every bit of communication counts!!

REGARDLESS WHERE YOU LIVE IN NEBRASKA, CALL BILL KINTNER AND YOUR LOCAL STATE LEGISLATOR.

Why the whole “loophole” deal on private gun sales is a(nother) Collectivist lie.

The New New York Times reports an amazing discovery in the hysteria over assault weapons and puts it at the top of the article, Journalism 101-style:

***One obstacle President Obama may face in proposing a new federal ban on assault weapons could lie in the use of the term “assault weapon” itself.***

You see, there is an apparently lack of clarity over what constitutes an assault weapon. I hope the folks writing the Times editorials on the subject get wind of this amazing discovery. It’s almost enough to make you think they don’t know what they’re talking about.
—PowerLine

Sha. Zaam.

Of course “assault weapon” is a BS Collectivist propaganda term, like “gun violence”. Guns…being essentially power tools…are not “violent”.

Remember when I said a couple of times, that the new NY gun control laws were the PERFECT opportunity… for my Governor, Rick Perry?”

I was right!

[TX Attorney General Gregg] Abbott wades into gun control fray with ads aimed at New Yorkers

“Attorney General Greg Abbott Wednesday launched a Google web ad campaign inviting New Yorkers who feel their gun rights are threatened by a new law just signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to move to Texas where they will have the right to bear arms, and, with lower taxes, more money to buy ammo.

“The provocative web ads, paid for with Abbott campaign funds, will appear as a pop-up on screens on a variety of media web sites, including that of The New York Times, for those accessing the sites in Manhattan and Albany.

“Is Gov. Cuomo looking to take your guns? Sick of the media outing law abiding gun owns? Are you a lawful NY gun owner seeking lower taxes?” reads one of two pop-up ads.

A second reads: “Wanted: Law abiding New York gun owns looking for lower taxes and greater opportunity.””

The weekly pink slip report aka hocus pocus.
Im sure zerohedge will catch the actual numbers and comment. Forget the seasonally adjusted headline magic. Look and non adjusted. Thats progress? Worse than last year?
