Obama Wants a New “Assault Weapons” Ban

Posted on February 26th, 2009 in Current Events | No Comments »

Gun Control Works! It appears Obama and his pawn, err Attorney General Eric Holder are gearing up to push yet another “Assault Weapon” ban on the United States.  Please note that “Assault Weapon” will always appear in quotations when I address the chicken shit nomenclature.  Back on track, keep in mind the reasoning behind this new call for a ban isn’t because of our homeland issues, instead it’s to help Mexico ebb the recent drug cartel violence.  We’ve seen how well gun bans work with Chicago’s violent crime rate, the very city in which Obama has been trained in.  Instead of the Obamadministration giving a legitimate reason to take away our legally owned guns, they choose to tie it to Mexico. The US State Department released a travel alert to Mexico on February 20th stating:

Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades.  Large firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico but most recently in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez.  During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area.

The murders and crime in Mexico are no surprise yet Mr. Holder seems to think our lack of a federal assault weapons ban is what is causing this crime.  Holder, speaking of the proposed assault weapons ban:

“I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum.” Holder added, “I met yesterday with Attorney General Medina Mora of Mexico, and we discussed the unprecedented levels of violence his country is facing because of their enforcement efforts. It’s something, as I said, that the president talked about during the campaign,” he said. “There are obviously a number of things that are — that have been taking up a substantial amount of his time, and so, I’m not sure exactly what the sequencing will be.”

Apparently our “Assault Weapons” and Grenades our shipped en masse across our border to Mexico.  Nevermind the plethora of unstable countries in Central as well as South America.  They are all coming from here, all of the Fully Automatic rifles and grenades that can legally be purchased in the good ol’ USA.  Idiots.

Here’s a novel idea Mr. Holder as well as the Obamadministration.  Instead of being pussies and blaming lack of gun legislation on violence occuring in foreign countries,  why don’t you just come out and tell the truth that you would like to take our guns away from us so there will be no resistance when you take the rest of our liberties away and enact you’re socialist agenda.  It’s worked so well in the past!

You Gotta Be Shitting Me.

Apparently having a photo of yourself training a rifle on a camera posted to your Facebook page is grounds for suspension. School Administrators at Beaver Dam School District in Wisconsin placed teacher Betsy Ramsdale on administrative leave after receiving a complaint about a photo of her holding a rifle on her Facebook page.

This is ridiculous, I hope she sues the school district for discrimination. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.

They’re Coming for Your Guns: H.R. 45

Posted on January 17th, 2009 in Politics | 1 Comment »

While they may not technically be coming for your guns, yet, Mr. Bobby L. Rush, a representative from Illinois’s First District (mostly west side of Chicago)  has brought forth bill H.R. 45 in the House.  This little piece of legislation would require licensing for anyone that owns a gun in the form of a ID Card with a photograph and thumbprint as well as a passing of a test that includes various firearm goodies. The Right to Bear Arms has provided a comprehensive little list of what this licensing process covers:

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

(B) the safe handling of firearms;

(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

Most states already have their own form of gun registration, adding a federal system is not only not needed, but quiet frankly it impedes on our second amendment rights. If we take a look at the bill, in Section 403, on page 22, line 22 we find this hidden treasure:

In order to ascertain compliance with this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the regulations and orders issued under this Act, the Attorney General may, during regular business hours, enter any place in which firearms or firearm products are manufactured, stored, or held, for distribution in commerce, and inspect those areas where the products are so manufactured, stored, or held.

Oh my, not only are they going after our second amendment, they’re clearly pissing all over the fourth amendment also.  I’ll keep an eye this bill as it goes through it’s process. Hopefully the Democrats can stop wiping their ass with our Constitution and vote this down as is it should be.
