DC looking to nickel and dime gun owners to death

DC looking to nickel and dime gun owners to death

What is the result of not protecting the right to keep and bear arms in the manner in which the 2nd Amendment enumerates; ie shall not be infringed? You get the city of Washington DC going out of their way to make criminals out of the law abiding.  Or at the very least trying to dissuade people from exercising their rights by adding so many fees and hoops to jump through that they will just become disenfranchised. DC has changed its gun laws again, this time requiring RE-registration for all guns in the city.  Failing to do so can result in fines up to $1000 and a YEAR in jail. As many people have pointed out, the hassle and headache of trying to register for a handgun in DC is rigged to try and dissuade you as much as possible from exercising your right.  For one thing you have...

Man Finds Loophole To Fight Government Tyranny…Of Light Bulbs

Man Finds Loophole To Fight Government Tyranny…Of Light Bulbs

What many do not realize is that come Jan 1st 2014, the manufacturing or importation of incandescent light bulbs will be illegal in the United States. The luminous prohibition was set in motion in 2007 with a bill that set strict minimum efficiencies that were impossible for traditional incandescent bulbs to meet. Much like how gun controllers want to impose end around bans on firearms by requiring technological standards that don’t exist, such as microstamping, so too have the haters of the little bulb that has lit our nights for some 100+ years use standards that are impossible to meet. The result, once the stockpiles of warm yellow incandescent light bulbs are gone, we as a nation will be FORCED to use those cold dead fluorescent bulbs or dimmer bank breaking LED lights that start at $15 a bulb. After efforts in Congress to avert the light bulb prohibition...

We shouldn’t accept “Just Following Orders” – Thanks to Sheriffs across the country, we don’t have to

We shouldn’t accept “Just Following Orders” – Thanks to Sheriffs across the country, we don’t have to

There is something reassuring about Sheriffs that doesn’t extend to other police officers in my mind. Perhaps it is that the Sheriffs are elected and as such cannot be a scourge upon the populace in the way that insulated and crooked cops can be. So often we see crooked cops being brought up on civil rights violations, being found guilty (or the town/city will settle before then), yet the cop goes right back on the beat with little to no accountability for his actions.  In fact, it is the taxpayers who often have to cover the cost of the violations that said crooked cop engages in to begin with.  In that way the taxpayers are paying for their own civil rights being violated. Yet with Sheriffs and their deputies we, as voters and taxpayers, have a direct avenue of recourse if they try and do the same…we vote them...

US Spymasters use octopus to mock Americans in regards to the death of privacy

US Spymasters use octopus to mock Americans in regards to the death of privacy

The octopus.  For more than a century, it has been the animal of choice to illustrate an overreaching, omnipresent and nefarious organization with ill intent.  The Spymasters in the US feel that they are so above reproach that they freely advertise themselves with the symbol. While fitting, it is still a wonder at how tone-deaf the people at the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office are that they have not only chosen the octopus as their mascot but have fully embraced its connotations. The new logo features a giant, world-dominating octopus, its sucker-covered tentacles encircling the planet while it looks on with determination, a steely glint in its enormous eye. The logo carries a five-word tagline: “Nothing is beyond our reach.” Nothing is beyond their reach.  No doubt.  The death of individual privacy, the shredding of the 4th Amendment, the tyranny of the State, nothing seems beyond the reach of the US...

My problem with the Utah CCW Permit

My problem with the Utah CCW Permit

You would think that a state founded by people who faced government oppression would have a healthy distrust of the Federal Government. After being driven from their homes in the east, having their First Amendment rights stripped, and having their territory whittled away by DC cartographers in order to minimize their influence and power in government, one might imagine the state of Utah would be a little less willing to play ball with the Federal Government.   Utah just passed the 500,000 mark for issuing concealed carry permits.  That’s about 25% of the population of the state. That doesn’t mean that 1 in 5 Utahns are walking around armed, though that’d be a great start.   Around 60% of those permits are for out of state residents who live in places that their state license might not grant them a great deal of reciprocity.  A Utah CCW will get...

Happy Freedom From Tyranny Day

Happy Freedom From Tyranny Day

On this day, 80 years ago, a majority of states banded together to overthrow one of the most egregious infringements levied upon the liberty of American citizens in this country’s history; Prohibition. With the ratification of the 21st Amendment, the states scratched out of existence the 18th Amendment to the Constitution that made the manufacture, transfer or sale of alcohol illegal. Though such un-American laws have been on the books periodically throughout our country’s history, the act of actually writing one down into the foundation of our country’s most important document is ghastly. We have the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and they’re great at limiting the power the Government can use to crush us with.  But after 11 through 15 that dealt with reconstruction and abolishing slavery we see the Amendments begin to be used to punish and attack American Citizens or for...

Gun Controllers Bamboozle BOTH Major Parties on “Invisible Guns”

Gun Controllers Bamboozle BOTH Major Parties on “Invisible Guns”

In a tragic sign of bi-partisanship, Congress is on the verge of passing a 10-year extension to the Undetectable Firearms Act that bans all plastic guns that cannot be detected by a metal detector. The gun controllers argue about the criminals getting their hands on weapons that cannot  be detected and sneaking them into places that they could do damage with. The only problem with this “logic” is that with the advent of 3-D printers and the technology improving in that regard, criminals will just ignore this law too. Do I want an all plastic gun that is undetectable?  To be honest, until I started writing this article I would say no, and that I was only arguing on principle that to infringe upon the manufacturing and owning of plastic undetectable weapons was a violation of the 2nd Amendment. But the more I think about it, with instances of...

Gun Controllers push for Robot Apocalypse rather than arming teachers

Gun Controllers push for Robot Apocalypse rather than arming teachers

Sci-fi is only fiction until it isn’t. A company in silicon valley has created a 5ft tall, 300 lb R2D2 looking robot that they hope will keep tragedies like Sandy Hook and other school shootings from happening. “We founded Knightscope after what happened at Sandy Hook,” said the company’s co-founder William Santana Li. “You are never going to have an armed officer in every school.” No, because an armed “officer” (could be a teacher) would be effective and since gun controllers in general have an aversion to logical solutions that work, they march out idiotic ideas like have a robot monitoring the halls. Let’s just touch base with the obvious problem as it relates to Mr. Li’s statement.  Unless this monstrosity is armed with kung fu devensive programming or armament itself (which is another HUGE problem if it were) what you basically have is an oversized, overpriced, overly intrusive smoke...

The Danger of Appeasement

The Danger of Appeasement

While Obama is doing downward facing dog with regards to his “negotiating” with Iran over nukes, i just starting thinking of all the times the stance of appeasement failed.  You can read more about the compelling argument that appeasement now has shadows of Neville Chamberlain in 1938 Munich at Conservativebytes.com Mike Devine makes the amusing parody of Obama’s Iran policy as “If you like your nuclear enrichment policy, you can keep it, period.” The examples of failure, that the idea of appeasement provides, are extensive and cover the world over.  It all hearkens back to Benjamin Franklin’s famous line, “Those who would trade in liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither liberty or security.”  With appeasement, by continually giving in a little at a time in order to avoid making a stand and face the growing threat only makes the inevitable all the harder to recover from. I...

Inventor proves TSA security is a fraud, builds blunderbuss shotgun in the airport AFTER the checkpoint

Inventor proves TSA security is a fraud, builds blunderbuss shotgun in the airport AFTER the checkpoint

I have long argued that the TSA is just theatre and offers no real protection.  In fact, the TSA makes America a more dangerous place to live since it desensitizes Americans to having their liberties infringed, their 4th Amendment rights erased and normalizes the surrender of these freedoms to the “authority”. But these are philosophical arguments on what it means to be free.  Pretty much everyone can agree that the TSA failing to stop someone from bringing a sawed off shotgun into an airport is a failure on their part. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for guns on planes (would’ve made a difference on 9/11), but if the TSA is there to stop such things, one ingenious inventor has come up with a firearm that not only casts a spotlight on the fraud that the TSA is peddling but also how silly the notion of feeling safe is...

How will NYS enforce the SAFE Act? With a Rights shredding mindset backed with Military Grade Weaponry

How will NYS enforce the SAFE Act? With a Rights shredding mindset backed with Military Grade Weaponry

By now it should come as no surprise of the of disdain that the powers that be in New York State have for its citizens.  From the crippling high taxes, to the infringement of rights, to the promotion of a neighbor spying on neighbor program etc. Conversely though, those controllers in Albany seem shocked that people would finally have enough and say “NO” to continually bending over to the whims of those in power who disregard with “outdated” documents like the Bill of Rights or “silly” notions like Liberty. What is Albany to do when the citizens it has tried so hard to make into servants finally say enough is enough? Like all good totalitarian regimes, the one in Albany gets overwhelming firepower to suppress the masses. In New York, that comes in the form of 18 ton, armor-protected, military fighting vehicles with gun turrets and bulletproof glass that...

Private Gun Sales Are The Lynchpin of Liberty

Private Gun Sales Are The Lynchpin of Liberty

There has been much talk from gun controllers about “common sense” gun control measures such as closing the so called gun show loophole and outlawing private sales of firearms between two people. Or the meltdown gun controllers are having over the private sale of firearms via instagram. You can read that story at Girls Just Wanna Have Guns. There are some usually level headed people who are buying into the controllers bunk and ask me what my problem is with the government checking in on the transactions of private citizens. My answer is quite easy to digest.  The government cannot be allowed to know, track and record every firearm transaction made.  The sake of our liberty demands that the government have a blind spot. The alternative is that they know the quantity, quality and model of every firearm that every law abiding citizen possesses.  The government doesn’t need to...

Gun Owner’s Property Stolen By Police Returned After Federal Lawsuit Settled

Gun Owner’s Property Stolen By Police Returned After Federal Lawsuit Settled

In a case rife with police corruption and officers acting with vindictive immorality, the city of Cleveland faced losing BIG in a 5th Amendment case brought by Derrick Washington who had his property stolen by police. The case stemmed back to an incident in the morning of February 10th, 2013.  Washington called the police at 2:09 in the morning to report a shooting in the 2800 block of East 116th Street.  When officers arrived on scene Washington informed them that he had a valid concealed carry permit and that his firearm was in his car. In lieu of doing any real police work that might involve looking for the actual shooter, the police officers involved at this point decided to arrest Washington.  The report they filed reported that he told them that he had been drinking.  Washington was arrested and charged with using weapons while intoxicated and illegally carrying a concealed...

Hey Virginians, you reap what you vote

Hey Virginians, you reap what you vote

In the recent gubernatorial election in Virginia, Virginians went to the polls and elected vocal and non apologetic gun hater, Terry McAuliffe.  McAuliffe actually campaigned vocally for gun control in the old dominion and won. Now Virginians will have to live with that for the next four years. As if I couldn’t have predicted what that entails, here is the first taste; McAuliffe names Lori Haas to his transition team. Who is Lori Haas?  She is the Organizer for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.  One of the most rabid gun control organizations in America.  A gun control organization so out of the mainstream that President Obama doesn’t even include them in the weekly White House meetings he has. Officials from the White House Office of Public Engagement, which reports to senior Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, are now carrying the administration’s gun control efforts. OPE officials hold a regular...

The most comprehensive summation of the 5 years of Obama’s reign

The most comprehensive summation of the 5 years of Obama’s reign

Mychal Massie is a reporter and talk show host from Los Angeles.  He wrote a biting and pretty comprehensive summation on why he dislikes the Obama’s.  Massie also happens to be black.  Why do I bring that up?  For the “tolerant” left who assume that everyone who disagrees with Obama must be a racist.  No doubt they view Massie, and other black conservatives who hate what Obama is doing to this country, with disdain but at least it will undercut the bogus racism card they like to pull out everytime someone makes a valid point of criticism. With that, I give you, in its entirety Mychal Massie’s response to “Why he doesn’t like the Obama’s”: The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s? Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s? It seems personal, not...

Life on Mars – A lesson on Liberty from a desolate wasteland

Life on Mars – A lesson on Liberty from a desolate wasteland

NASA’s research into our nearest neighbor has revealed that many millions of years ago Mars was a lush, wet planet with a thick atmosphere.  Yet today, all that remains is the barren and desolate wasteland with only a toehold of moisture to be found in ice at the poles and in small pockets of ice elsewhere. Why is a pro liberty, gun rights website talking about Mars? Because Mars is a parable, an allegory, a metaphor for what can happen to American liberty. You see, if there was life on Mars millions of years ago, chances are they saw their lush planet with flowing water and forested hills as inviolate from its desolate future.  Yet, if the leading theory is to be believed, a powerful solar wind knocked out the magnetic field of Mars.  That magnetic field was the barrier and protector of the Martian atmosphere and as such...

NYS goes full on Nazi; SAFE act to encourage people to inform on neighbors if they have too many bullets

NYS goes full on Nazi; SAFE act to encourage people to inform on neighbors if they have too many bullets

Fuhrer Cuomo has goosestepped his way even further down the path that leads to a freedom-less tyrannical autocracy. Apparently Cuomo fashions himself as a modern day Hitler. Yeah…how’s that for some bombastic opening sentences. Calling someone Hitler or a Nazi has long been a pastime of liberals who find themselves unable to cognitively refute a person with a different ideology. They toss it around so much that it has become cliche.  I’m not doing that.  Rather, I am pointing out how the methods of the Third Reich are being implemented as we speak in the Empire State under the watch of one Andrew Cuomo. Changing the rules in order to ram the SAFE Act down the throats of New Yorkers before they had time to voice dissent is one thing. Enacting a program where, in order to enforce the SAFE Act, you are encouraging neighbors to inform on neighbors...

Death of the Fourth Amendment means danger to the Second

Death of the Fourth Amendment means danger to the Second

You will often hear me voice my disdain for violations of the Fourth Amendment, freedom from unreasonable search and seizures, as I believe that it is second only to the Second Amendment with regards to importance rights enumerated by the Constitution.  While the other rights are important, the 4th is supposed to protect us from warrantless midnight raids of secret police and from our person being molested by thugs on fishing trips hiding behind badges. In a pair of disturbing violations of the Fourth Amendment, we can see the groundwork being laid to erase the Fourth from the law books and in doing so attack the 2nd Amendment directly. The first case involved scrap metal worker David Eckert who found himself in the wrong part of town in Deming, NM and as a result was repeatedly and forcibly raped over a twelve hour period by doctors who were being ordered...
