Illinois gun BAN???????

well well well, isn't this surprising. from the beginning of the sandy hook tragedy, the media as well as anit-gun politicians have been steppping over these dead children to get their agenda passed by feeding off the emotion and falsifying the facts.

this was about a gun grab from the very beginning, plain and simple. there wasn't even a rifle used or involved. this makes me sick. look like my tin foil hat was not worn in vein on this one.



Rifle found in Lanza's trunk NOT a Bushmaster

Celebrity Hypocrisy?

Exactly. Imagine that. Pot > Kettle > black.

Here is a short clip with her majesty Carolyn McCarthy. Talk about stupid-ism. She has about the same amount of firearms knowledge as Bloomberg.


McCarthy on AWB

The fact that half of the country can't watch something like this and clearly see that this hag has no business submitting any legislature on firearms is precisely what is wrong with this country. Be it guns, healthcare, immigration, or whatever. This type of thing ..... Is. Not. Good.

I equate it to me being allowed to re- write the electrical codes in my town when I have never even wired an outlet.   See what I'm sayin?

Reality

Riley wrote: Open carry is allowed in Maine. On Christmas Eve, a guy walked through a section of Portland carrying an AR15 type rifle. He just had it slung over his shoulder and was not threatening anyone. It generated 65 calls to the police, but they couldn't even question him as he was not breaking the law. Now several police chiefs are proposing changing the law.

   It may be his right, but people that do that sort of thing are doing zero to help the cause. Open carry should be legal, but that doesn't mean people should do it. They should have enough common sense to know when it is and isn't a good idea. I hate hearing stories like that. There was one in NH a few weeks ago too. Guy shopping at Walmart in Seabrook. Pushing a cart through the store with an AK slung over his shoulder. Legal, but dumb. Shoppers were pissed that he wasn't arrested, but the police openly stated he was not breaking the law. Walmart manager asked him to leave and he peacefully complied.

I cringe everytime those open carry acitivists do stuff like this as it brings unneeded attention.

I am not a big fan of open carry. I cannot stand these guys that sling an AR over their shoulder regardless of it's legality. I also do not care for the guys open carrying on Youtube to provoke people to call the cops, or even to antagonize the police. However, what if it was all open carry, no conceal? It would be so commonplace that no one would even notice any more. The videos of these clods messing with the police does point out that, frequently, even the police are simply clueless about what you are and are not legally allowed to do. Everyone should be educated, and the shock value would go away.

   I'm going to drag this to the top again just to link a couple of interesting articles from the Hartford Courant over the last few days, for anyone who might be interested. Not trying to get this debate going again though.

   This Article would lead you to believe that there are far more teachers interested in carrying a firearm at school than you would be lead to believe in the news.

   And this excerpt from Sunday about the investigation would lead me to believe that the high capacity magazines were most likely not nearly as significant in this tragedy as the antis would like to believe:


Lanza changed magazines frequently as he fired his way through the first-grade classrooms of Lauren Rousseau and Victoria Soto, sometimes shooting as few as 15 shots from a 30-round magazine, sources said.


   The rest of the article can be found Here. The rest of the article confirms it was indeed an AR15 used in the school and a Saiga shotgun that was found in the trunk.

Both extremes?

City council passes motion to ban semi auto in biggest Vermont city.

I think that has as much chance becoming law as the one proposed by another Vermont legislator to fine people who Don't own guns.

Poking this hornets' nest one more time to say congrats to the Connecticut residents who should now be living in the safest state in our nation. All new gun laws signed by governor on the 4th.

I find it disheartening that during the televised public hearings that lasted for 16 hours a session that 85-90% of the citizens that spoke in opposition to these laws went unheard. If any of you watched them, it was painfully clear the large majority was against these restrictions and the people who spoke in support had zero knowledge of firearms in general, yet the politicians voted for them anyway. As of 01/14 anyone in posession of an unregistered weapon or magazine will be a felon. A soldier, under 21 years old will be responsible enough to go to war, kill the enemy with a select fire M4, watch his friends die, and possibly lose his life for his country just to come home to Connecticut and have a politician tell him he is not responsible enough buy a semi auto rifle that holds more than 5 rounds.

Up until two days after the Sandy Hook shooting, CT legislators were trying whole heartedly to get Bushmaster to come to CT to setup Manufacturing facilities and were offering them giant tax breaks and govt backed loans with deferred terms and partial payback options. Now they have manufacturers, business owners and law abiding citizens fleeing the state,taking their tax money with them.

One positive outcome of the new laws is that the line to register your weapons is currently forming in the "hood" as thousands of criminals have suddenly decided to do the right thing.

For the record, it has been noted by several CT politicians that once the registration process is complete to the states satisfaction, a confiscation bill will be drafted. So much for no one coming to get your guns.

In Colorado, new laws passed are driving tax paying manufacturers and residents out of the state as well. But its OK says one female Colorado lawmaker.....we have banned these magazines, so as people shoot the bullets out of them and they are all used up there will be no full high capacity magazines left for people to commit crimes with. Another example of a lawmaker writing laws while talking out of her ass. Scary.

Stand by for Supreme Court rulings.......

Certainly the latest victims of the Connecticut shooting are the law abiding gun owners of the state. The next tragedy is still waiting out there and nothing has been done to prevent it.   

Here is a very powerful video a friend sent me regarding thoughts on the origins of the NRA, as well as their thoughts on the Obama administration's goals and ultimate objectives. These are black leaders saying this!

Sorry....not sure how to post a youtube link other than how I did it here.

PS: Anybody notice only 88,000 jobs were added in March, and the workforce participation rate is ~63%. Levels not seen since Barack Carter's (I mean Jimmy Obama's) administration. Anybody also notice how both Democrat and Republican Senator's repealed the Obamacare tax on medical devices because it would hurt business. I think (and hope) it's a matter of time before the whole thing goes down the crapper.
