Once again I am posting a friends stuff. Its long but it has lots of good info in it and it is worth the time.
Thanks D.K. Not only have you said much of how I feel about this and more you have said it better then I would have.
Always faithful. Your brother in Christ.
I disagree with all the hysteria, hype, dishonesty, and intentional propaganda with what too many opportunists refer to as "assault weapons". You and I learned a long time ago in boot camp that a rifle is only a tool, it is the person behind the weapon who does the killing. Not one of these weapons can choose its own ammunition, select the proper magazine, arm itself, transport itself to the crime scene, choose its targets, commit the crimes, flee the scene, and evade authorities-all of those acts are committed by a human making the decisions. The decidedly biased legislation that is being proposed is not targeting the criminals, but millions of law abiding Americans who broke no laws. They were enjoying their rights under both the 2nd and 14th Amendments. Mr. Obama's hasty signing of twenty-three new executive orders relating to firearms are both dubious and ambiguous. It also needs to be noted that these arbitrary laws are being tied into the Obama-care laws. The idea of requiring licensed physicians to report all of their patients who own guns to the federal government is straight out of both Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia. We are better men than that. If an American who has broken no laws wants to purchase a military style firearm then that is personal and private business between himself and the vendor. I go to the range quite often and meet many men and women who own all sorts of military style weapons. They are not irresponsible, unsafe, or have criminal intentions. Many, in fact, are veterans. Others are just plain ordinary shooting enthusiasts. They are not a threat. Additionally you already know that before we can purchase firearms they perform a quick check on every American. You have to show I.D. fill out several pages of paperwork, and wait for the FFL (Federal Firearms Licensed) dealer to get approval from Law Enforcement. Once you obtain the approval the sale then moves forward and the purchase can be completed. (Let me break this one off into a second part.)The national Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1968, the Firearm Owner's protection Act of 1986, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, and the Violent Crime Control Act of 1994. The two defining aspects that they all have in common is that none of these laws prevented crime and it allowed the federal government to take away more rights from the American people. the 1986 law is particularly embarrassing to the government because when the feds confiscated 175,000 licensed automatic firearms owned by law abiding American citizens it was revealed that not a single one had been used in the commission of a single crime. America's continual problem is not with "assault weapons" but "assault people". Your comment regarding the street is absolutely right! We have multiple street gangs all across the nation with a very impressive array of military hardware. That is our greatest problem. I think another significant area that the politicians and media have been avoiding discussing the violence found in both the video gaming and entertainment industries. Considering the fact that the entertainment industry donates millions to both political parties (75% to the Democrats vs 25% to the Republicans) I am not holding my breath to see Washington do anything to a reliable source of money.
The third part of this deals with this complex issue is another very disturbing trend. The fact that over 81% of Americans do not trust their own government (I'm one of them.) As tragic as the Sandy Hook shootings were, anyone with even an once of objectivity would be inclined to see that the governments story and account of the incident and events surrounding it do not add up. Check these out for yourself. There have already been six different websites that were posting memorials for the Sandy Hook victims up to four weeks before the shootings occurred. The little girl, Emilie Parker, who's father was all over the media doing a complete show biz skit on his daughters death was later photographed alive and well with Mr. Obama? Victoria Soto's Facebook page was featuring her obituary four days before the shooting? The United Way had a complete Sandy Hook website and donations for the victims page that was on the web 72 hours before the incident? Web pages require planning, consideration, design, and approval; and yet these well designed and public websites are popping up prior to the commission of the crime? The official story had only three firearms involved, now they have again changed their story and have admitted that there were four pistols recovered from the crime scene (which is odd because Adam Lanza's mother only had two pistols). The police have already admitted that the rifle was not used in the shooting and was in fact brought into the school by one of the officers after the fact (in your and my world that amounts to planting evidence.) Another statistic that is very questionable are the casualties. At Columbine 12 were killed and 21 injured, at Aurora 12 were killed and 58 injured, at Ft. Hood 13 were killed and 29 were injured, at Virginia Tech 32 were killed and 17 injured. At Sandy Hook it was 26 killed and 1 injured. This means that Adam Lanza, a 20 year old introvert with asperger''s syndrome, was able to shoot over 26 children between three and eleven times each. This would place Lanza's marksmanship abilities above the majority of SWAT officers and tactical responders in the entire United States. Of course the other aspect of this questionable incident also has ignored the first rule of assassination: After the act has been done-assassinate the assassin.
