The Gateway Pundit has an article (above), but don’t worry about Israel or the Christians being persecuted in Egypt because the shipping documents on the gas said that the items were to be used by the Egyptian Government and not to be sold to 3rd parties. (*cough* Benghazi *cough*)
This is great to hear. This 15 year old girl absolutely hits it out of the park on gun control legislation. I dare you to do as well as she. (I know I sure can’t)
In other news, the UN votes in some big gun control thingy, but I know that’s no big deal…right?

From Sherrif Terry Maketa of El Paso County Colorado
By Sheriff Terry Maketa of El Paso County, Colorado:
An Injustice Against our Citizens
Sheriff Terry Maketa
Monday, March 4, 2013, was unlike any day I’ve experienced in my 12 years testifying at the Colorado State Capitol. During my tenure, I’ve had numerous opportunities to participate in legislative processes from draft proposal to signature of a bill making it law.
I’ve witnessed many hearings and observed citizens, law enforcement, and special interest groups share opinions on a variety of proposed laws. I’ve witnessed very controversial bills set in a process to allow full access from supporters, opponents, and citizens to be heard by their legislators. On numerous occasions, bills similar in nature were set for hearing on different days to ensure opportunity for anyone to participate in the deliberative process. On Monday, this didn’t occur. Instead, gun bills were simultaneously scheduled and of 25 plus sheriffs, only one could…

Eileen Hart, a New Jersey mother, has been arrested and charged with making “terrorist threats” for reading the constitution while peacefully protesting the state’s reevaluation of her home’s property value.
Hold onto your socks people….
CALL TO ACTION! Help Us UNDO NDAA By Petitioning Your State Supreme Court For A Protective Writ of Habeus Corpus Like This One (Photo credit: watchingfrogsboil)
With nary a whisper we watched as the Patriot Act was passed, and law enforcement became a law unto itself. We said nothing when the president told us he could assassinate terrorists over seas via drone strike and through personal fiat. We scoffed when NDAA 2012 was passed allowing the government to arrest and detain US citizens without trial and detain them indefinitely. Now we have one man speaking out (Rand Paul), because we now know that the president can use fiat to direct a drone to kill a US citizen on US soil, without charges, trial, or a defense.
Disturbing to say the least, but add to that the fact the Department of Homeland Security has several papers and reports classifying the NEW terrorist threat to American citizens… as American citizens, especially conservative American citizens, and it becomes more worrisome.
With Eric Holder (a drone in and of himself) admitting the possibility of a drone strike over American soil, and working overtime to take guns from average citizens, one wonders why the DHS has built a fleet of Predator B drones that can track cell phone signals and detect whether an individual has a concealed weapon.
As a side note, did you know that visiting certain websites can put you on a list of radical extremists? But then again, so can asking for your 4th amendment right at an airport. What about the DHS report that called the Tea Party a “threat”, but the Occupy Wall Street crowd were called “peaceful protesters”. What side do you think the government believes you are on? If you like freedom and liberty then you are a radical extremist, but if you want tyrannical control consolidated in the hands of single proletariat revolutionary leader then you might work for MSNBC and are ok in the government’s eyes.

Take a moment and ponder that statement from the point of view of any person who believes the state should supersede the individual. The very pause that statement evokes is precisely why our Founders gifted us with the Second Amendment.
It would seem to me that one cannot un-invent something, and if a thing exists it must be dealt with. To pretend that a thing does not exist is to allow someone else the power to believe that it does exist and exercise their belief against yours, which cannot end well. I do not mean to be flippant, but preparation for government intrusion and control into the individual’s life is the only reason for disarming the citizenry.
Weapons exist and are the only tools for the prevention, and cessation of crime. If they are not guns they are knives, if they are not knives they are sticks, if they are not sticks they are fists. You cannot outlaw self defense. It is a fundamental aspect of Natural Law, the right to exist and that implies reasonable measures to ensure existence.
The police agencies are not a preventive force nor were they ever intended to be. They are responsible for finding and punishing criminals. That means that a crime must occur before they are activated. That leaves the entire responsibility of prevention upon the individual. This may be childish logic, but I would imagine the unarmed man to be a more likely candidate for a mugging than a man with a hip holstered weapon. There have been several lawsuits where the police were cleared for not stopping a crime in progress or preventing a crime from occurring. The courts have already spoken on this, we have just forgotten what they have said.
The left realizes that people do not like it when their belongings are stolen, or their persons intimidated and threatened. The people en masse have no idea what MASSIVE taxation and appropriation is coming in the next 12 months on ad infinitum, and so they are setting the stage to remove problematic dissent when the public figures it out.
It is noteworthy that the AR-15, which many deem too dangerous for the average citizen is classified as a Personal Defense Weapon at the Department of Homeland Security. It’s an assault weapon for you but a personal defense weapon for them.
Another concern is that of the 2 billion bullets purchased by the government recently, hundreds of millions are hollow point bullets. Rounds so lethal they are forbidden on the battlefield by the Geneva convention, yet we are to believe that these rounds are for marksmenship and training exercises?
While ammunition prices skyrocket at the rate of oil (food, insurance, gold, you pick) the government has purchased over 2 billion rounds of ammunition, 7000 fully automatic assault rifles (the real ones), 2,717 Navstar Defense Armored Vehicles (street tanks), 9,300 bulletproof toll booths, and some 30,000 drones (in the next 10 years), all for domestic use. A non-exhaustive list of agencies that have made purchases include the Department of Homeland Security, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Agriculture, and the Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement. This is beyond political affiliation and should at least raise a few eyebrows.
With the current political atmosphere and the rising furor over gun control we all need to slow down and examine the long lasting implications of things like gun registries. Will the government having a list of gun-owners prevent one of the gun-owners from using his gun illegally? Then what purpose could it possibly have?
If you think I am being melodramatic, and that the government would never confiscate your guns then consider the actions of the government during Hurricane Katrina. Or what about State Department Memorandum 7277 from 1961 which outlined how the US Federal Government in coalition with the United Nations would disarm the world. (see it here http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/arms/freedom_war.html) Consider what is occurring in the states to my east and my west, in Colorado there is a bill that would ban the most common type of SHOTGUN, and in Missouri there is a bill that would give citizens 90 days to turn in their weapons and ammunition or face becoming a FELON! Most likely neither bill will pass, but again the Overton Window slides to the side. Also remember that the highest office of law in the land barely considers the 2nd Amendment even constitutional (5 out of 9 agree with)!
I am not an alarmist, nor even a gun enthusiast. I neither hunt nor shoot for recreation, being much more inclined to air conditioning, but this information is noteworthy and I would like some answers. Without the Second Amendment their is no First Amendment. Without a First Amendment there is no Freedom.
