Carrying a Gun

I received an email from the Gun Owners of America organization on this hot subject. Although I do not own a gun, I believe this is one of our basic rights so as to defend ourselves, family, friends, and strangers whenever necessary.

Carrying a GunConstitutional Carry is Law in Almost Twenty Percent of the Country

Any state enacting Constitutional Carry legislation this year will join the eight states which have already paved the way.

Two new states joined the Constitutional Carry “club” in 2015.  These GOA-backed bills were signed into law by the Governors of Kansas and Maine.

These and other important gun rights victories can be seen here in “GOA’s Top Ten in 2015.”

Another Armed Citizen Prevents a Massacre, Gets Ignored by Media

Speaking of concealed carry, there was another mass shooting this month that the media didn’t report on.  

Why not?  Because an armed citizen stopped the shooting in its tracks.

Here’s how the Truth About Guns reported on the shooting which took place at a Louisiana gas station:

[Richard Macklin] pulled out a firearm and opened fire, sending more than a dozen rounds into the crowd. Three were wounded. One of the wounded was armed. He drew his legally carried weapon and fired at Macklin, hitting him in the head and stopping the attack. 

Kudos to the brave defender who took incoming fire, held his ground and fired back -- saving the lives of his friends.

Regardless, you can be sure that President Obama will still continue to claim these types of self-defense incidents never happen.

Justice Antonin Scalia

Today, 2/20/2016, was Justice Scalia's mass and funeral. His son, a priest, presided over the mass and funeral. How difficult it must have been.

Many were in attendance, but one. President Obama refused to honor this great man who sacrificed his life and family so as to serve this nation. Maybe it is true, Obama is not a citizen of the United States of America? Could this be why Obama and his cronies are trying to bring this nation down?

This is the year to elect a new President. We must vote in the primary so as to pick the right person who will honor the Constitution and protect this country; not allow another like Obama, arrogant and who wishes to destroy this country and our Constitution.

It is time to choose the right American to lead this nation for others to follow and copy, again!

Republican Debate without Trump

January 29, 2016

Last night the Republican debate was more about the issues than being focused on Donald Trump. I do not know if Trump made a date to speak to the Veterans on this same date, but if so he won out, I have a feeling. Most of what Trump does and says makes sense until he becomes insensitive to another or talks down to people.

Of all the candidates in last night's debate, I favor Gov. Chis Christie. He is not afraid of saying how he sees things and does it without insulting another, except for Hillary Clinton. She does not deserve respect from "we the people", nor do be elected President. If elected she will be no different than Obama or Bernie Sanders, a socialist. Both of these candidates want students to receive free college, health insurance, as well as many other things. Do you believe, as I do, that this would be the first step in becoming a Dictatorship country like Cuba and China?

Our constitution was written to keep Congress and the President in line. And iof today's candidates follow Obama's way they will not only not follow the foundations of our nation but will dissolve the Constitution. We the people must not allow this to happen.

BE SURE TO VOTE TO HAVE YOUR VOICES AND CONCERNS HEARD.

LATEST UP COMING GUNS LAWS

January 3, 2016 - When Obama, ( I refuse to call Obama our President), returns to the White House he might use the Executive Action for Gun Control. Below is an update on the current law in existence provided by Politico.
Currently, the law says people who sell guns with the “principal objective of livelihood and profit” have to get a dealer’s license through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — and therefore conduct a background check on buyers no matter where they sell, including online or at a gun show. I wonder if most applicants will be turned down by the above agency just to appease Obama?
Taken from the White House site that showed Obama in 202 remarking on the gun violence that has taken place. "“If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that -- then surely we have an obligation to try.”
It's true the USA must do more about the overwhelming violence that has taken place in the past ten years. However, the best solution, in my humble opinion, is to hire more border agents and police around the country. Sadly that will be tough since the criminals complain on how bad they are treated by cops.
Why is it the news and some citizens complain about bad cops but seldom if ever about those committing violent protest, destroying business and killing innocent people?
The best background checks in the country will not stop criminals and murderers from getting guns. Criminals and murderers will either steal them or convince a friend, such as what happened recently in San Bernadino, California, to buy guns and then turn them over, such as took place there, in the murder of innocent people at a company party, took place.
We make excuses for horrible behavior from childhood through adulthood. The most common excuse is mental problems. Seldom if ever has today's parents taken responsible on how they raised their child. My answer to this, when your child shows aggression, temper tantrums, or violence towards others, then maybe they need to seek help from a professional to learn why their child behaves that way.
For those who ask, no I do not have children. I saw how tough it was for my mother and how she gave 24/7 to love and nourish us. I, being so independent and selfish, decided that was not for me. For those parents who do this today, I applaud you and may God Bless you.

  

Black Lives Matter go to Washington D.C. and demonstrate.

To day the Mall of America is in court to have an injunction against Black Lives matter demonstrating at there. Why? Because most of teh demonstrators come across as bullies and will not demonstrate where they should, Washington D.C.  Some are black and white, probably college students who do not work for a living and others collect Welfare and do not work.

These demonstrators do not have a right to stop a business from operating or citizens from going to these business. If those in the Black Lives Matter would read the Constitution, something this nation was found on, they would realize that they are breaking the law. The First Amendment does state that citizens may petition Congress on their grievances. That being said, Black Lives Matter need to go demonstrate with a petition in front of the White House and Congress about what they believe as being discrimination.

To all of these demonstrators I say this, "As long as you force those who wish to work; no matter their race,  such as businesses, and who do not take a handout from the taxpayers who do work and pay taxes, then you will always find anger from others.

Black Lives Matter, take your grievances to Washington, not to businesses, malls, and halting traffic. You are cowards who fear the law of this land that was set up to protect the innocent hard workers from being dictated to by a President and Congress as well as being discriminated against because of being White!

What is Congress afraid of?

Why dose U.S. government not want to put a stop to ISIS or be diligent enough to find those that wish to destroy America? For instance the Democrats, Obama and Clinton show no effort on wanting to prevent terrorists from influencing the misguided angry young citizens in the United States, nor put a stop to those killing Christians and Jews around the world.

We elected candidates to not only represent us but to protect us from the evil outside sources. It seems that those in the U.S. government is more interested in money and power than they are of putting a stop to the Islamic Terrorists Organizations. I have yet to hear anyone in our government suse the phrase "Islamic Terrortists!" 

Do you think that Obama is a Muslim and a Dictator that those in Congress fear? Or do they think like Obama and want to control the citizens of the U.S.A. to become like those in Cuba and how China citizens are controled today? I can't help but wonder.
