Are American Gun Owners a Bunch of Fools?

http://www.senate.gov/ The American gun owning public is being duped again, just like we were duped the two weeks before the election when we were convinced that Romney was ahead by several percentage points. The media, including our “friends” at Fox, Drudge, and other “conservative” outlets, are attempting to sell us the concept that the “assault weapon ban” legislation can’t pass, and this is a lie. We are told that Bill Clinton sternly warned his party that they will be punished in the mid-terms, and that the NRA is “too powerful” for any real legislation to make it through congress. This is also a lie. Behind our backs, the political machine is crafting public opinion in what have become the majority voting blocks to convince national and state legislators that they are safe for the next election… and they are safe. American gun owners didn’t show up in force for the last election, and we are not feared as a voting block any longer. Don’t be a fool and believe it when they tell us we can’t lose. We are going to get beaten again if we don’t act. And this time it isn’t a slippery slope. This time they are going to outlaw an entire class of guns with no loopholes.
If you are on the GunsAmerica email list, or you are clicking in from the website, you are probably a gun owner of some type (or you are desperately trying to buy your first gun before they ban them), and you may feel that we are “preaching to the choir.” But there is also a 90% chance that YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED YOUR LEGISLATORS to let them know that you are strongly against any kind of weapon ban, or any increase in our national or state gun laws whatsoever.
You are silent, because you think it is someone else’s job. But it is your job, and you have to make yourself be heard. Call and email your legislators today.
The NRA came into this fight almost a month late and their response has been anything but well received. Even though President Obama’s kids are guarded by armed guards in schools, and even though Dianne Feinstein actually possesses one of San Francisco’s few concealed carry permits, the very sane suggestions of the NRA have fallen on mostly deaf ears. The media , including Fox, has beat up Wayne Lapierre and is inflating every shooting incident in the country right now, trying to keep the gun control energy as high as possible, so that the legislators will have the courage to vote against the wishes of the majority of their constituents. The only way they can do this is their constituents, meaning YOU, remain silent.
You must call and write your legislators today. Let them know that you know who they are. You know their name, and you will remember how they voted come election day. Don’t just use the web form, and don’t just call their Washington, DC numbers. Call their local numbers and tell their staffers that you and ever gun owner you know will be watching them, and funding their opponents if they vote for this ineffective and stupid legislation. At some point you have to take action, and you have to go that extra step, and now is the time.
Most gun owners, like most of America, are ignorant to world history. Most people don’t know that Kristallnacht, the famous “night of broken glass” in Germany in 1939, was actually a gun roundup. It is considered the beginning of the Holocaust, but what most people leave out is that Hitler published sweeping gun confiscation legislation on November 11, 1938, the day after the famous Nazi rioting. You will find the same gun confiscations in the pages of the dictatorial and murderous takeovers of China, Cambodia, Ukraine and throughout history. The first thing every government spinning out of control does is register the guns. Then they round up the guns. Then they declare martial law, putting the military in charge. Do you feel like America has been heading in the right direction? Do you wonder why “prepping” has become more popular than NASCAR? The government knows that America is a powder keg waiting to pop, and they are trying to use a manufactured crisis to take away your guns.
In President Obama’s speech, which took place right in the middle of SHOT Show of course, he played to “law abiding gun owners,” specifically calling out to our petition that we all signed at the beginning of this crisis. The President actually had the nerve to say that this wasn’t about politics and the tactics of a dictatorial regime, despite the fact that rifles, including AR-15 and other magazine fed rifles, are only used in a tiny percentage of gun violence. He even admitted this during the debates. He was appealing to middle class casual gun owners and hunters. They want us to turn on ourselves. They want the old hunting crowd to say “I don’t know why anyone would need a gun like that,” or “why would you need a magazine with more than 7 rounds.” They want the Ipad generation to fall into lockstep with their ideals, and for the old hunting crowd to back them up. We saw it at SHOT Show. Hunters are historically traitors to the 2nd Amendment, and this will be no different.
The people who outvoted us this past November don’t believe in the Constitution. The Ipad generation believes what they see on TV. While all those TV personalities hire armed guards and carry guns themselves to protect their own life and property, they are building public opinion against our 2nd Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms. The Ipad generation doesn’t understand the nature of mankind, and the implicit design of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Holocaust was 60 years ago, not 600 years ago YOU TOUCHSCREEN ADDICTED IDIOTS. This isn’t about President Obama. It isn’t about what happens next month or next year. The 2nd Amendment must be preserved if our freedom is to be preserved. If we give anything today it will be the next thing we give at the next crisis, then the next thing we give at the next crisis, until we are all defending ourselves with airguns like they do in European Union today. Please contact your legislators today.

I don’t know why whoever writes these nonsensical, paranoia-filled rants hasn’t been fired yet, but if we actually want to win this fight, we’re going to have to grow up a bit and recognize that there are FAR MORE GUN-OWNING DEMOCRATS, ALL OF WHOM GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION, than many are apparently willing to admit. We don’t all subscribe to conservative ideologies, we are mature enough to passionately disagree with President Obama, and still support him otherwise, etc, etc. So when you, sir, tell me I don’t give a damn about the constitution I swore to uphold when I served in the infantry, you only disgrace yourself, and push those plethora of like-minded supporters away. You state that this isn’t about Obama. Well act like it then. Stop with this “Obama’s kids” argument, as it’s crap. Thus far, the NRA has done more to hurt us than help. I for one have not stopped writing anyone and everyone I can. So when it comes to calling gun owners fools, speak for yourself. And cut the damn right-wing rants if you really want to win this fight. This is about ALL AMERICANS. Not just those who vote republican. Oh, and if you were duped somehow into believing Romney had a chance, you were ignoring facts. Something that has become all too common these days among all Americans.
Yes, as a Jew, the holocaust stands as a great impetus behind my unyielding support of the 2nd Amendment. Yet I’d be a fool to ignore that the same type of fear-mongering that lead to the death of 11 million innocents is right here in this rant above. Stop attacking us, stop calling us fools, stop assuming we’re all so damn far right we’re almost left, and start putting facts and evidence before emotion.

Thank you, combat vet, for saying everything I was about to. the writer for these rants certainly divides the gun owning public more than that unites us. this isn’t about the election this is about events taking place since the election, and trying to draw lines between us and Nazi Germany is getting very tired. please remember that just because we agree on guns doesn’t mean you can tell me, or assume to know, my politics. The last bit about the iPad generation, was especially ignorant. quit while you’re ahead and just encourage me to write my legislators

Sorry, Bro, but you’re wrong. It’s not fear mongering. Look at recent legislation that has passed because too many Americans thought that it wouldn’t, but did nothing to stop it. If you are indeed “awake”, you’d do better to calm the hell down and stop tearing into the writer and try tearing into other gun owners. I have no idea what you’re pissed about and am more inclined to believe you’re a troll than a 2nd Amendment supporter. There are VERY few Democrat supporters of the Constitution, contrary to your understanding. If in fact there where, I’d imagine we’d hear more about it. Maybe you could take some of that “rightous” anger and use it to rally support of these supposed constitutional democrats. T
This fight will be won by fighting, PERIOD. Had fewer illegal immigrants and dead people voted, and more republicans had gotten off their rear ends and voted, Romney might have won.
As a Jew, which I’m suddenly skeptical of now, you would know that it wasn’t fear-mongering on the part of the Jews, but that of the German, and many Europeans in general, that let to those many fearful deaths. You’re blaming the victims for the acts of the criminal. He’s not attacking he’s rallying, and you do sound more like a fool than not. And what are these “facts” that you keep talking about. All he’s presented is fact and warning and the only on that is spewing some terrible amount of emotion is you. All the more reason to believe that you are NOT a gun-owning, 2nd Amendment supporter. If in fact you are what you say, thanks for serving, brother. There are damned few. However, YOU need to wake the hell up and shift fire. Turn about and rounds in the right direction.
The argument about that crap-heads kids is absolutely valid. The guards at the school aren’t just there for his kids, but the others as well. The parents want the guards and they have them. Why don’t we rate the same?

Right now it is the Democrats who are falling lockstep, or maybe Goose-Step is a better description, in line with Mr. Obamao who has ALWAYS been anti second amendment. I appreciate your service, but YOU should wake up and see the reality of the fight. Democrats have become fascist. They are using their own political power to take things from people to either give them to others with their own ideology or they are taking them to obtain and concentrate their own political and physical advantage. THAT is the definition of a fascist.
As Thomas Paine said many years ago: “We will either hang together, or we will surely hang separately.”
Although I don’t necessarily agree with the tone of this author’s “rant”, the content is spot on and you, sir, have your head in the wrong place, unless you’re a proctologist. You are drinking the koolaide that will lead us all to tyranny and the thing is, you are such a yellow dog democrat you can’t see the truth for the propaganda.

I could not agree more with the COMBAT VET the only folks that have anything to lose are those that sell military combat weapons, ammo, optics, magzines, etc to the civilian population. The horror story is that the gun manufacturers, ammo makers and the local gun shops are buying into it. There is no ammo, and where there is ammo the prices have been jacked. Gun prices are going through the roof. Shame on those of you who have perpetuated this ungodly show of greed.
The 2nd ammendment allows us to bear arms and I do not believe that banning AR’s will stop the heinous crimes committed by the criminal and mentally defective, however, I am not so sure the civilian population needs these weapons without closer scrutinty. There needs to be stronger requirements to purchase deadly weapons, to include classes similar to CCW, background checks, fingerprinting, and a waiting period all to be determined by state governments for all permits. I have shared my thoughts with my elected officials.

Well said! So tired of the gun nuts making it hard for gun owners with commen sense. The best thing that could happen to gun owners is for the creation of another gun organization, other than the NRA. An orginization that lets you pay your dues and does not try to shake you down monthly for more money. That does not fight banning cop killer bullets. NRA is full of one issue voters and no voter with commen sense casts their vote determined by one issue.

I’m in the same boat as you, but I try to recognize that there are people out there who would like to see us disarmed. It is a fact that an overwhelming majority of these people belong to the democratic party. Just like it is a fact that most of the knuckleheads who talk about “legitimate rape” belong to the republicans. I back who has my rights under the most immediate attack in mind. Right now that is not the democrats. As much as gun owning democrats don’t like to admit that it is in their party platform to institute more gun control, it’s there. It is their responsibility to reign in those morons who support crap like this, and they fail at every turn, while the rest of us gun owners who just want to be left alone sit in fear while being protected by an increasingly weakening and out of touch republican party.

obama has done nothing but attack the entire constitution and bill of rights from every angle. You may give a D about the 2nd amendment but as an obama supporting demorat, you cannot support the constitution, sir. Conservative means resisting change to the country as founded. obama is the biggest liberal to come down the pike. Many of your first amendment rights have already slipped away and you supported that, apparently. If you can stop running your mouth long enough, you might re-read the article and find that many of your rants are misplaced by reading out of context. A little more intelligence and a little less big mouth, perhaps.

I agree that the media is in lockstep and that they have a carefully crafted strategy to make us complacent. But there is a reason the media all agrees on this, and it is YOU who is the idiot if you fall for the JPFO “damage control” propaganda lie that Hitler disarmed the German people. The reality is that he did nothing of the sort but rather he eased firearms restrictions. Look at the principal people behind all of this! Look at the most powerful groups pushing it! Look at the ownership of the media outlets pushing it! How about you use YOUR brain?

Your absolutely correct, most gun owners will not contact the legislators because they all think someone else (The NRA) will do it, or they believe that it won’t make a difference! Well that’s is exactly how we will lose the 2nd amendment rights, because most Americans are to stupid, to lazy, or to ignorant to get off their asses, to the right thing!

I am an ipad addicted “idiot”. I have contacted my gov. Officials numerous times (on my ipad) about this b.s. of trying to chip away at our 2nd amendment. I don’t appreciate you calling me names. This ipad has been a great tool for me to shop for guns, learn about guns and the crap the gov. Is trying to do (its way eisier to weed through the b.s. and lies than watching t.v.!) and even contact government officials (p.s.it is a lot more effective than licking envelopes and looking up addresses!) . Maybe your bias toward touch screens has to do with your age or the pop culture your kids tend to use them for but to me, if the envelope and pen is a musket, my ipad is a firkin “assault” weapon.

I agree 100% with Mr. Weed.
This name calling has to stop.
I believe that it would be extremely beneficial to have a majority of Americans in support of our Second Amendment rights. It seems unwise to alienate the youth of America by calling them names, as in “touchscreen addicted idiots.”
You are also demeaning older voters, by saying that the “old hunting crowd” are “historically traitors.”
Rather than alienating huge blocs of voters by calling them names, would it not be smarter, and more effective to attempt to win their approval?

Those of you who are offended by the “iPad idiot” comment in the above narrative are missing the point of the use of that term. The term was used to describe those millions of Americans who generally live their lives on and though electronic devices, who generally accept everything they read on the internet, and who lack virtually any intellectual and historical curiosity (and thus any perspective) about the dangers we face in these dangerous times. (I refer you to the Honey Boo Boo, Kardashian pop culture we live in). We all know people like that – and it is certainly more common among the poorly educated younger generation. He was not denegrating everyone who uses an iPad, touchscreen or computer simply because they use those devices.

I wrote to my governor, senetors, representatives, mayor, etc…and got a BS form letter reply obviously written by one of their lackies. In the replies from them, everything pointed to the same outcome…they all support the assault weapons and mag ban. It is a crime that some time ago, they forgot that they are OUR employees, not our masters whom we have to accept and bow to. It seems that freedom is slipping away in our country, and yes, it is OUR country…not theirs to control as they desire. Please, everyone, keep writting so that they will realize that they will, at minimum, be committing political suicide. Maybe self preservation will motivate them even though they should know that they should stand up for what is right, not what is made popular by the strategic media. I wrote them back asking for a real response but received nothing in return.

This is a response from what appears to be a supportive Candice Miller from Michigan:
Dear Mr. —–
Thank you for contacting me regarding President Obama’s recent proposals to address gun violence. I appreciate your opinion and welcome the opportunity to respond.
The murder of innocent children in Newtown, Connecticut was a heinous act that demands action to better protect our children. It is unfortunate that the Obama Administration is focusing far too much on the method used instead of the root cause of why it happened. The vast majority of firearm owners in America are law abiding citizens simply exercising the right of self-defense for themselves and their families guaranteed by the Second Amendment of our Constitution.
Criminals, by their very definition, do not care what the law states, so the only people impacted by stricter gun laws are those who seek to obey the law, not violent criminals. The fact of the matter is that there are already numerous laws in this nation protecting against the unlawful use of firearms that are simply not enforced. If the Obama Administration and states across the country want to reduce the criminal use of firearms it is time to start prosecuting those violations to the full extent of the law and take the guns out of the hands of criminals by putting them behind bars.
And if we truly want to stop instances like Newtown, we must look into all of the issues that may have contributed to the problem and can serve as real solutions to future violence. We must address the issue of an inadequate mental health system in this country that has failed to identify those who may commit these types of heinous acts before they happen and treat them effectively. The President has suggested some small steps in this direction; however more has to be done. We need to also attend to the issue of violent video games and movies that desensitize our children toward violence and death. Nothing we do will stop those disposed to violence if we do not attack the root causes of these tragedies.
The Obama Administration’s proposal is largely focused on diminishing the Second Amendment rights of law abiding owners of firearms with new laws which the President himself has stated would have done nothing to stop the attack on Newtown. I cannot support that effort. It is disappointing that President Obama’s political supporters in Hollywood who peddle violence and death to our children through violent video games and movies have been given a pass in this process. It is also disappointing that the President has not put forward a plan to take decisive action in improving a mental health system that has allowed these types of potential killers to fall through the cracks, only to allow them to carry out violent attacks. On one hand, this proposal is an overreach of executive authority and on the other, it is inadequate in addressing the root cause of the attacks.
I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House on legislation that is designed to truly protect our children without diminishing the constitutional right of law abiding citizens.
Again, thank you for your correspondence. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office. If you would like to stay up to date on issues in Congress and how they affect you, please sign up to receive my e-newsletter, The Washington Connection, at candicemiller.house.gov. It has all of the information you need about current events in our nation’s capital and their impact on Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.

The gun owner has been duped for years. Bill Clinton and Hillery were the worst. I remember Hillery stating that they would disarm this country before they got out of office, and almost did. Now we have this mess. I find it hard to understand when parents are not allowed to discipline there children, and yet we are suppose to teach them responsibility.I raised my children around guns, I thought them to respect a firearm and how to use one properly.I wounder what doctor Spock would say about his ideas about child raising now.

There is only one form of communication that can make a difference. It’s not ranting to friends and neighbors, or posting on Facebook or YouTube – it’s e-mailing or writing your Senators and Representative. Keep it very short, courteous and firm. Don’t threaten them. Just e-mail them “As a voter, I strongly oppose any additional restrictions on my constitutional right to purchase and possess currently legal firearms, and ask that you vote against any such proposed legislation.” If you’re smart enough to access and read this Guns America site, you’re smart enough to find out the e-mail address of your legislators and send this note. If you don’t communicate with them, you have no right to{1}***** about the results.

This is not only about gun control, this is about absolute control ultimately. When you ask America this question ‘Who is George Soros”? Most people, especially liberal Democrats will tell you they don’t know. This is simply because they don’t pay enough attention. When Glenn Beck tried to educate America on Soros, they removed his show from TV. Now he is on the Blaze. The truth is Soros and Obama agenda is to change the face and freedoms of America and they are plotting to remove all weapons from us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QkNg7AYvaM&sns=em , Obama wants to bring America down as the superpower we are and equal with the rest of the world. Obama wants to be the Tzar and Soros as well. Youtube Sosos- Obama’s boss and hear his speak.

I feel the NRA needs to lay out the truth in a well planned strategy about what the government is actually planning, That would entail doing exactly what the opposition is doing (press conferences, mass emails, ect) Turn the tables on the lies being told and expose the liars for who and what they are…….IF it’s worth fighting for then it has to be done down and dirty and take the gloves off……….NO MORE MR & MRS NICE GUY

I just left the following comments for my legislators…
I am totally against ANY restraints on the 2nd amendment and gun ownership. The 2nd amendment was not established for “hunting”. It was established to ensure that the population of a free society had the means to ensure that freedom from an oppressive government. Please understand that whenever you vote on anything related to this topic. Nobody wants to overthrow the US Government, but nobody wants to be walked over by this same government as well. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Correct and agree. I have formulated my own, self-written response and have sent that to the White House, State governor, my representatives, radio stations, newspaper outlets, my local gun clubs, friends and colleagues. I encourage everyone who reads this to do the same.
The aspect and topic of “need” came up in this article. Apparently some people are saying “I don’t see the need to have this style of gun or this capacity of magazines”. This “need-test” and questioning is improper and needs to stop. To compare, ….who “needs” a 500 HP car that can go 200 mph for travel in the United States? Maybe I personally don’t see the “need” for someone to have such a car, but I will not and cannot begrudge those that do. There are countless cars that have this characteristic and are legally available for sale in the US. As long as the car is legal for sale in the US, it should be viewed as OK…and the same with Military Style ( let’s coin our own words…not “Assault Rifle”) weapons.
Going further, a grandmother asks her grandson why he skateboards in the city. She might say she sees no “need” for him to do that, and that it is dangerous. He also says to her, he sees her knitting with knitting needles, and sees no “need” for her to make clothes when they are so cheap to buy,… and by the way, those needles look dangerous. It is always very easy to say SOMEONE ELSE doesn’t need something when it does not fit YOUR OWN sensibilities. A dangerous path to take with discussions.
Let your voice be heard and contact all your legislators and representatives on these gun-ownership rights issues !!
Ban the “need-test” in these discussions…it has no place here!

I have been in contact with both the Presidents office, the vic3e president, my state and federal legislators, and have voiced strong opposition to these new turn of events. The vice president and the president both sent replies which acted like I was supporting there agenda when that was far from the truth. Its like they never read it, and just had a one sided email response for everyone, no matter what your views were. I argued that the mentally disturbed are where the real issues are. On Facebook I explained my views, and one of my first responses was from a mother who had a son who had mental problems and she had attempted on more than one occasion to get them addressed with the same results each time. The mental hospital would hold her son for 4 days attempting to address the problem through counselling and medication, but in each case after 4 days the insurance refused to pay any more benefits and her son was booted out of the hospital. I explained this in the letters to each of the people who were elected to protect out constitutional rights, and the only one who responded like he was actually reading my email was my state district representative. Mr Luekemeyer, of Missouri, sent me a letter explaining his battle to protect my gun rights and the 2nd amendment, admitted to being and supporting his membership in the NRA, and upon reading his response, I felt he had addressed every concern I raised, even the mental health issues. I am still considering framing that response as he not only emailed me a response, he actually mailed the response with his letterhead snail mail. I can only hope he will run for a post in the federal government next term, as I would vote for him in a minute.

It looks like we might be idiots for more reasons than one…. Looking at things like SHOT, it amazes me that we’re pointing the finger at clear opposition. Those people have an opinion and it is clear even if it doesn’t make sense. The people running SHOT and most gun shows around America, along with WalMart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and others are pretending to be pro-2A, and are not. They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing. Claiming to be Pro-2A and not allowing people to carry a LICENSED and PERMITTED gun on premises is nonsense. So is deciding to carry “Sporting firearms” and choosing NOT to carry “Real” guns. Telling customers that it’s against the law to sell ammunition after 9pm is not a good way to show your 2A support, general support for freedom, or to show your decency. A liar is a liar regardless of their motive. It looks to me like we’re being lied to by “Our own” now, too.

This is all true. People said in 1994 that a ban could not happen and you see what actually did happen. But lucky that one had a expiration date…. this new proposed ban DOES NOT! Contact your congressman and let them know you awont stand for your 2nd amendment right to be trampled. If this does pass (god fordib) it only will be the beginning. (Just look at australia ) everyone needs to fight (legislatively) to stomp this out and send a strong message that our right will not be infringed. If you don’t welcome to 1994 all over again, but if we stand together as one voice we can defeat this radical administration, together we stand, devided we fall, and if we fall what will come after wont be good. Everyone stand up and say no to this new gin ban! Don’t just sit there and let other speak up for you, it wont be loud enough.

This is going to be a battle but I believe we can win it. Unjust laws have been passed before and overturned. People forget that Kennedy was killed with a bolt action rifle. Eventually someone is going to go on a rampage with an 870 or 700 and the class of assault rifles will grow and calls to outlaw sniper rifles will be made. Than the low speed high drag crowd will recognize the error of their ways and the pendulum will swing back the other way. At least that is how I hope it goes. If the try to confiscate guns I’m afraid it will go the other way fast.

Here is a copy of the letter I’ve been sending out to my senators and reps. If you and to copy and paste- feel free, just add your own name at the bottom and write in your senators/ reps name on top. We need to bombard them from every state against this legislation!!! We can lay down and assume it will go our way!!!
Senator ,
The Second Amendment is in place for us as law abiding American Citizens to be able to defend ourselves against a rogue government! That was its intention – to protect us if the government wants to force a takeover. Unfortunately, scare tactics from a tradgedy are always used by governments to take over control of the people they govern. This knee jerk legislation by Feinstein is no different!! And is again a tactic to begin to remove all of our rights under the constitution!
This card has been played many times. Tragedy=control of ‘people’ with new law “for their protection”.
Petitions against more gun control to the Whitehouse were shut down by the very government who is “asking for input”, because they were getting too much support. Standing up for our rights and freedoms by whatever peaceful means necessary has been and is our First Amendment right, Freedom of Speech.
I am personally against any of this legislation about gun control and I stand with ALL those who do so as well. Any of these laws will only make it easier for a government takeover, period. They won’t help protect any children or anyone from gun wielding maniacs who don’t buy their weapons legally anyways!! Guns and ammunition magazines don’t kill people! NONE of these laws will effect criminals! That’s why they are called criminals- they don’t follow laws anyways!!
These proposed laws ONLY tie the hands of law abiding citizens, of those who might otherwise be able to protect themselves and their families.
I think every tragedy is horrible, especially when involving innocent children, don’t get me wrong-I am a mother and would be worse than devastated! But legislating LAW ABIDING CITIZENS out of their right to buy and own what they want for their own protection is VERY WRONG!!! Children safety at this point is only a sales pitch to get the heart strings involved and encourage as many as possible to agree and go along with handing over their Rights willingly!
Again it’s a perfect example of big government using a tragic situation to take more control of the everyday Joe/Jane and being one step closer to dissolving the constitution.
> DO NOT ALLOW THIS LEGISLATION TO PASS!!!
> IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST ANY GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION!!!
> IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU ENCOURAGE ALL OTHERS THAT YOU CAN, IN YOUR TRUSTED SEATS WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, TO DO THE SAME!!!!!
Thank you for your attention and support of your constituents Constitutional Rights as Americans!

The real blame here is the education system (or lack of) the press and the bought and PAID for judicial system. The only thing the Country really cares about any more is the cash n their pocket and the right not to work and entitlement.
The grand fix is in and we are to late, Big brother has shut us down, we can no longer assemble speak freely or defend our homes and families without the threat of arrest. The drug culture in society and television (tell a lie) are to blame for the dumbing down and pacification of the general populous since the 1950s and continues on today. Without a earnest effort at real education people are mere drones being told what to do and when to do it. Our own money has also been the down fall of our country via greedy business men who can never get enough much like crack heads. They have sold off this country piece by piece to foreign interests and now that we are but an empty shell buried in debt we have turned to steeling from the others around us and selling them short for that capital fix.
I see uncontrolled inflation, out of control spending and a lot of stupid people walking the streets. One only needs to watch any late night program as proof or any of the morning net work shows. The scales of justice in this country are in need of re-calibration so they can be zeroed out again. The Government is to big and out of control from the Feds to the local levels. We need not a tea party that was done over 200 years ago and freed us from over taxation but know we are right back where we started, we again are being over taxed and it is the direct fault of the American people for not staying on top of the government we put in place. WE NOW NEED TO BOYCOTT our own government and pull the rug out from under its feet. We need to shut down the supply chain to Washington and the local governing bodies until reform,. spending, over taxation and equality is met and lets not forget having our right fully restored. If they want to send in the storm troopers (Bullies) it is time to fight.

Heinlen January 25, 2013 at 8:25 am
Here’s the letter I received from Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio.
Dear Mr. Heinlen:
Thank you for expressing your views about firearms legislation.
As a United States Senator, I took an oath to defend the Constitution. The Second Amendment makes clear that Americans have the right to own guns, and the Supreme Court over time has given meaning to this right.
When our children and families are no longer safe at our schools, in our malls, and in our movie theaters, then we as a country must take action. The shocking numbers of public shootings throughout the country last year, culminating in Newtown, Connecticut, demands that we engage in a serious national discussion about gun violence, not just in terms of weapons and bullets, but also including mental health access, public safety officers, and our responsibility both as individuals and a society.
Like all rights, it must be balanced against others. I have supported restrictions on the possession of assault-style weapons so our public safety officers are not put at increased risk, and restrictions on the ability of criminals to possess handguns but I fully support the right of Ohioans to own firearms.
Should the Senate consider this issue in the future, I will support common-sense reforms that protect both public safety and the rights of gun owners. Thank you again for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown
United States Senator

I personally have contacted all who represent the state of Florida, those in my district, and even our president himself, regarding this matter. I already have responses from all, with exception of President Obama, himself. It appears that the American people are asleep at the wheel on this topic. I was told that action had to be taken due to all negative responses they received, by mainly the young liberal generation that have no regard for what this country is supposed to stand for. Not complete unharnessed Government control. We the people are supposed to have a say in what happens in every aspect of all laws they come up with. We dont. It appears to me, that this land is in serious trouble. We are being over ruled by a form of what appears to be like communism. What about banning violent video games for our youth? They seem to have lost good morals, and tend to have their judgement impaired by wanting only to protect their liberal rights, which they will lose completley, regardless of what they think. America has been sleeping too long. I don’t feel we all should have to be subject to this, due to some parent who allowed access to her gind by her unstable son. It was her responsibility to keep her weapons locked up, safely away from any child’s access. There is a safety act which she did not follow. So now, we all get penalized? It’s more like a conspiracy. All we can do is try to get everyone to speak up. We are losing more rights/ freedom each year. WAKE UP AMERICA! “Rock the boat”…. Take a stand for our constitutional rights. Freedom IS NOT FREE….

Contact the reps in the congress and badger them, don’t let up, let them no comprise will not be tolerated, send them copies of the stats from the fbi and others.. Guns may kill about 3-7K victims a yr. but killers will use other means from hammers to gasoline. Drunk drivers kill and paralyze tens of thousands and doctors kill 250,000-300,0000 a yr. In the numbers most murders are committed by inner city youth from 16-28. A person bent on killing is going to use any means available because they are a killer. Gun control in Amerika will lead to Control of the people and as a slave already can we afford more runaway govt.?

Hello? Bueller? No amount of emails, letters, or phone calls will change the upcoming course of events. This agenda has been bubbling for a while and your “elected” officials do not care for your opinion.
Second, you right to defend your life, liberty, and property comes from your humanity and is inherent. No piece of paper grants you said rights. No man can give you a right, they can only take them away.
Third, Hitler did not ban guns, they had been banned since 1928. Hitler eased restrictions on the people he liked, not on the “inferior” classes. Lenin recognized the threat of an armed public as well and attempted to disarm his people.
Four, when they outlaw firearms, which is coming regardless of what the statist NRA does (Gun Owners of America is a much better group), your responsibility is non-compliance if you believe you have a right to defend your life, liberty and property. Tyranny is the end state of all forms of government, and we are rapidly approaching this state.

What we all really need to realize is that this is going to be a long fight designed to wear down the average gun owner. Obama is a community organizer, and he knows he will loose this fight this year. But he will organize a systematic and carefully crafted assault over the next two years against all of the members of congress and the senate who oppose his gun control agenda. He will attempt to fill the seat in congress with people sympathetic to his cause. These people will OWE him their seat and will follow him like he is the Pied Piper. He won’t need a super majority just enough to fill the airwaves of his willing accomplices in the media to bombard the rest of America that it is only a small majority of gun owners are being unreasonable. And the casual gun owner who owns one or two guns for self defense will not see the hidden agenda and agree with him and he will get his way! This Universal background check IS a backdoor registration scheme. The Federal Government has NO Constitutional power to regulate the private sale of ANY private property! Because unless you sell something to some one in another state it does not fall under interstate commerce which is a power granted to the federal government. We must stop this universal background check scheme! Bad Guys steal their guns, they do not buy them from you and me! WAKE UP!

This is a response I recieved from my senator in Pennsylvania:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. I appreciate hearing from you about this issue.
As you know, on December 14, 2012, an individual in Newtown, Connecticut forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire on teachers and staff in the building. In total, the perpetrator murdered 20 students between the ages of six and seven years old, as well as six adults, many of whom heroically sought to stop the shooter and save the lives of children. Like many Americans, I was deeply affected by the scope and brutality of this act. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
The motives that led to this senseless massacre will likely never fully be comprehended. However, I believe that all public officials have a responsibility to work to prevent such an event from occurring again. This incident reflects a complex problem that requires a comprehensive strategy, including funding for law enforcement officers and the mental health care system. Too many individuals with mental illness are not receiving the services they need and tragically, sometimes a small number of these individuals turn violent. I have supported access to affordable and accessible mental health services for all Americans and I will continue to review proposed solutions to improve our mental health system.
As you may know, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Pennsylvania has a fine hunting and sporting tradition, and I will defend the right to bear arms as it is enshrined in our Constitution. However, I also believe that the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School highlights very serious dangers posed to public safety by the misuse of certain weapons and technology originally developed for warfare. According to reports, the shooter was able to kill many children and adults very quickly because he possessed a military-style semiautomatic weapon. He also allegedly used magazines containing up to 30 rounds of ammunition and carried hundreds of rounds more. After much reflection and careful study of the issue, I have decided to support a federal assault weapons ban as well as legislation restricting high capacity clips. In light of what occurred at Sandy Hook, these are two measures that will lessen the chances that this will happen again soon.
Our Nation has already begun a critical dialogue as we examine what steps must be taken to prevent this type of tragedy in the future. On December 19, 2012, President Obama announced the formation of an inter-agency task initiative, led by Vice President Biden, to study these issues and recommend possible actions. I look forward to reviewing these proposals, as well to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address this complex issue.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.
For more information on this or other issues, I encourage you to visit my website, http://casey.senate.gov. I hope you will find this online office a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office or share with me your thoughts on the issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.
Sincerely,
Bob Casey

I have written both Senators and my Democratic Representative in the House. I know my Senators will work against this madness but I wrote them anyway to let them know that I want them to do so. Here is my email:
“It is my belief that these gun control laws will not stop criminals from getting and using guns. What it will do is disarm law abiding citizens who have broken no laws, done no harm to anyone, and, are being punished for being law abiding citizens.
It is my hope that you will find a way to stop this madness in the Senate (House). Historically, gun control measures have done little to stop crime. I read a road sign while driving in San Antonio, The sign said that there had been 3800 fatalities in auto accidents in 2012 on Texas highways. Yet we don’t ban automobiles, we ask people to drive safely.
Thank you for your work to protect and defend our Constitution.

I sent an email to everyone from the VPOTUS to my local representative, yesterday. What everyone seems to forget is that the 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights, part of the Constitution. This document was written as an absolute; it can not be changed or modified from it’s original form. Our founding fathers did this because they knew all too well that tyranny can raise it’s ugly head at any time.
The only way that the government can justify their actions is for everyone — including government representatives — to give up their weapons. This is something that they will, of course, write into legislation that they can retain their guns. In my opinion, this justifies all members of Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches to be brought up on charges of treason as it goes against their oaths of office to “Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Let’s face it; all Obama is trying to do is force into compliance with the UN directive for all people to be unarmed. What better way to become a servant than a citizen? There were no AR-15′s used at Sandy Hook. We know that, now. So why keep going after “Assault Rifles”? It would be prudent that the government know what the definition of an “Assault Weapon” really is as they were banned in 1934 . . . and unless you have a FFL Class 3 license, you don’t have one.
This is all about control, and nothing more. If the POTUS was that interested in “Saving Children” he should rescind the law that allows late term abortion. The government — under the guise of Planned Parenthhod has murdered over 1,000,000 children before they had a chance to become a citizen, yet there is no outrage.

I agree that our government has no right to change or take ANY of our rights. Look at the statements of our founding fathers, and you will see that the 2nd amendment was put into place for us to protect ourselves from all threats, foreign and domestic, and by the way, I have and will contact everyone I can in our government to let them know where I stand on this issue. That being said, I swear if you slam the people you claim to be one of again, I will delete this website and everything about gunsamerica from, yes my iPad, and will still be a gun owner, a protector of the constitution, and a proud American. Yes, encourage people to get off their butts and be heard, but to cowards, stupid, or a host of other name calling that I have seen lately, is juvenile and shows a lack of thought on your part, equal to what the government is showing. The people reading these messages are generally of the same intent as you, and should be reminded of how to be heard by government, not slapped for not doing things your way.

I mean he has done everything you wanted! Given you your free stuff, raised taxes on all Americans and supported our enemies. Fools like you will be booted out of this country when we stupid gun lovers take our America back!
