Worth Reading and should be sent viral!!

"At a moment of historical urgency very similar to what we currently face, a delegation of Patriots met in St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775, less than a month before Gage sent out his troops that fateful April morning.

One of the speakers that day was a man whose rousing oration is regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history, said near the beginning of his talk:
his is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.
We have trod this path before. We know where it leads, having watched it both overseas and at home.

Today, federal agents and agencies arm themselves with weapons of war and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition not to combat an outside threat, but to oppress this nation’s citizens, as the would-be elites, long lost to the common man and imagining themselves superior, set about removing “Liberty’s teeth;” the last and greatest obstacle to imposing their well-intentioned tyranny where everyone is entitled to a “fair share” of what they are willing to let us have.

Pray for peace, protest with passion, and prepare yourself for war.

The fine gentleman from Virginia cited above had made the same grim determination before arriving in Richmond.
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

When shall we be stronger indeed, if we give up the implements of freedom without contest? There can be no peace when tyrants order Americans to bow down and surrender.

They, and they alone must withdraw… or else the choice is made.

Tread carefully.

Liberty can only be maintained by a literate voting population that understands the history of freedom and liberty within the United Sovereign states of America. To this end we must preserve the 2nd Amendment and its historical intent.

HIstorical intent? REALLY?! Because the weapon of choice if not default at the time of the Constitution was a single shot musket, which took so long to re-load that 'seconds' (often children) were employed to begin the process as multiple guns were rotated in a line. That or the 'rows' of infantry, as the Brits deployed, firing in rank. The crafters of the document you are so eager to quote knew nothing of the vast advances to be made in weaponry.
So your choices are two: Either go back to ONLY owning a Revolutionary Era musket, or, as SCOTUS Scalia would prefer, allow for absolutely NO regulations or restrictions, including subs, tanks, jet fighters, and nuclear bombs. Otherwise, once you allow for restrictions on flamethrowers, bomb-making materials, grenades, surface-to-air rockets, ANYTHING, fully automatic weapons like Uzis...ANYTHING, the debate about 'restrictions' is a non-starter. So pick one...and stick with it.
Also, don't EVER whine about a 'flag-burning' amendment. Because THAT certainly WAS something that the founders were aware of, having done it themselves to the British flag many times in the revolt. They valued it as one of the THE things free speech and demonstrations would be covered with under the FIRST amendment.
I do not advocate burning the flag nor taking away everybody's guns. I do advocate reasonable regulations to protect all the people, not a third of them or just the NRA, a lobbying arm for the gun manufacturers hijacked from the hunters.

Great idea! Then after you and Obama's jack booted storm troops take out the right wing "virus", then you can go after the gypsies. After all, they're a "scourge" aren't they? And then all those jews that helped fund Obama's campaign and has been supporting his staff. They run the big banks that have caused this major depression, right? Then, we REALLY can't move forward until the we get rid of that Catholic church that's been such a problem with passing gay marriage and abortion privilege, can we? Clearly, those Catholic clergy and devout followers of that religion need to be neutralized, don't they?

We can do this so much more efficiently if we got all the "Wing nuts", jews, Catholics and malcontents together in large camps, right? It's for their own protection. This will cost a lot of money, so it's only fair that we take the assets of these "undesirables" to pay for these programs and pay to expand the government, and those supportive of it.

Yep, Walter, you've got a great plan for this "final solution". There's a book for this plan I think you'll find helpful in implementation.

It's called "Mein Kampf" by a great socialist in the 1930s and 1940s.

Mike F. and Tired o t B.S.; the Democrats and Republicans 'switched' sides in the middle of the last century. So what was once conservative was also Democrat, but not since then.
The Klan would be indentified with the GOP now because that is who they vote for now, whenever polled. (I wonder how they get that poll; I know I wouldn't want to be me!) Anecdotally, I remember VERY clearly on one of the major networks after the president was elected the first time that an exit interviewer asked a voter in Kentucky for whom they voted...the person looked directly into the camera, was fully aware they were on live Tv, and said they voted for McCain. The reporter asked if Mr. McCain had some specific quality or philosophy that meant more to the voter...they replied that they would 'never vote for that Obama, because there ain't no way they would vote for a black."
To say that every or even a majority of Republcians or conservatives are racists (let alone inbred yokels with poor grammar) is a stretch, obviously. The problem, though, for the right, is that they don't seem to care if they marginalize themselves out of existence. They are doing all they can to become a regional (Southern) party.
They are fine with denying demographics that are trending (quickly) away from them. Instead they want to double down on being MORE 'conservative', even if that means unelectable.
I have views from 'both sides' and would glady vote for that way, but the GOP seems bent on making that impossible.

"Methinks (they) doth protest too much" Using alot of words to defend an anachronistic take on the Constitution. I refuse to allow the writings of men who had yet to recognize true equality as the final answer on weapons technology. Talk all you want (free speech is a timeless quantity) but defending the right to own weapons of mass destruction is, ultimately futile. The American public will see through the brush beating and true limits will be instituted. If you want to believe that the government wants to take all of your guns, keep believing, it doesn't mean that it's the truth, but when has that stopped your ilk.

The founding fathers of this country were certainly not perfect, but they had far more insight into humanity and government than any and all of our politicians have today. They understood that government has always been evil and always will be, but was necessary and always will be. Our constitution was written not to govern us, but to protect us from the government that it created. And the second amendment, is #2 on the list of amendments for very good reason - it ensures that the government can not overstep its bounds on the other amendments. I for one, am comforted knowing that 60 million Americans own guns; many of which are assault rifles. These are the folks that will aid me in making sure our government doesn't become tyrannical or socialist or communist. Of course, I'm sure a small percentage of the 60 million are neo nazis or other types of wack jobs, but the people I have met at the shooting ranges have all been pretty nice, personable, and down to Earth. I am a middle of the road Republican who believes in small government (socially and fiscally). I love shooting my AR's with my high capacity mags. Our military keeps us safe from foreign enemies, our armed civilians keep us safe from an abusive government.

OBVIOUSLY, those rules no longer apply to radio, television, national newspapers or the Internet, because those things did not exist back then and the men at that time had yet to recognize true equality after all....

Politicians and LOCAL LAW enforcement have made decisions to supress our purchasing and owning them while selling them to the enemy of our enemy that are now our friend and will become our enemy all in the name of national security for the GUN mfgers which guarantees that we will have more enemies and a need of a all volunteer Mil.This means FLAG WAVERS and gun galore patriots do not have to go to war but can be weekend MILITIA heroes and if they are really hard up and good can be a Private contractor for KBR or Blackwater.
The pol's and courts not the constitution now say u can hunt BULL MOOSE and Bambi with a semi auto AR 15 and can carry a 44 or 357 in yer glove box and 25 cal on the ankle it is a trade off! Every red blooded Murkan and some Americans like me love our guns i fired( never owned) because it was unconstitutional a M1 Garand, M 2 Carb-Quad 50 mg and even a 90mm M2 AAA gun the eq of the famous GERMAN 88 and can honestly say it was not a rush and now I have a more modest choice that is or is not constitutionally correct depending if I am in the NORTH , West or South.

Ban Hammers, Clubs, Fists and Feet
Perusing the FBI crime stats reveals this info:

According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle.

This is an interesting fact, particularly amid the Democrats' feverish push to ban many different rifles, ostensibly to keep us safe of course.

However, it appears the zeal of Sens. like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) is misdirected. For in looking at the FBI numbers from 2005 to 2011, the number of murders by hammers and clubs consistently exceeds the number of murders committed with a rifle.

Think about it: In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618.

And so the list goes, with the actual numbers changing somewhat from year to year, yet the fact that more people are killed with blunt objects each year remains constant.

But don't let the facts get in the way of a good old panic-pushing agenda that has no basis in reality.

Stones,
Why is it that guns are bad for the ordinary citizens, but, the people that want to pass these laws have the right to carry guns when they go out or to have them in their homes for protection?
Dianne Feinstein has had a CC permit since her days as mayor of San Francisco.
It is funny how she doesn't think that guns in the hands of citizens would have helped in any way, but, she said this about her carrying a concealed weapon:
"When I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out I was going to take them with me." Now she wants my guns, what a hypocrite.
Don't forget about NC Senator Soles, a long time advocate for banning guns, when HIS home was broken into, what did he do? He got his GUN and shot the offenders.
I guess his life and family are more important than yours and mine, right?
These hypocrites, that have armed guards and have their own guns, now want to make federal laws to keep me from exercising the same rights that they enjoy.
I guess that this is another stupid argument in your eyes.

Keep your guns for whatever real need you have, protection, sport, hunting. That's all good. I just don't see the need for the massive fire power. Limiting some off that is not the first step in taking away all of your guns and your rights. All of our rights have reasonable limits.

Stones,
in an earlier post you spoke of stupid arguments....and here you are with a stupid argument of your own. When do you think Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, and Vermont will pass their laws banning guns? Of course, first they will have to pass laws to restrict concealed carry as they currently do not even require a permit to carry in those states.
When do you think the folks in Texas will pass gun ban laws?
I find it interesting that the only places in America that won't allow you to carry are also among the most dangerous, Illinois and Washington D.C. However, both places are losing their ability to have restrictions that forbid CCW because those laws were found to be.....wait for it......in violation of the Constitution.

Bam, bam, bam....33 times. And then, he stopped to reload, was tackled and the massacre was over for everyone except those injured, killed, first responders and the public in general now living in fear of high capacity magazines in the hands of nut jobs. Oh, by the way. If it had not been a high capacity magazine, the stop to reload would have been at 10!!! How many lives would that have saved. I don't know if the 6 year old girl was killed in the last 22 rounds or not, but maybe. Also, if you can't hit a deer, duck or armed intruder of your home in 10 shots, get some glasses!

We have a lot of laws that, like that running dog, people ignore. It is against the law to smoke pot...drive drunk...without insurance...run a red lite...cheat on taxes...steal from stores...and, when it becomes against the law to own guns; all those who hold the right to bear arms dear to their heart will still have guns.

All of the morons should only say the truth about the importance of guns to the commons as a whole and disarmament as noted by some only leads to bad things like slavery, another point slaves were not freed by Honest Abe's Eman Proc, Dixie slaves were still property, he only freed those North of the Mason Dixon.
The scenario of a armed slave was the worst nightmare for Scarlett's dad and his neighbors.Remember the Black Panther leader Fred Hampton,who was always well armed and murdered by the STATE'S ATTY to be he was the leader of the white citizens council of Chgo of the day,
THE original slaves that came to America were from Ireland and Scotland their chances of acquiring a musket were slim to none many of their descendents went on to fight the bloodiest war ever fought in the new world for and against slavery and believed in a well REGULATED citizens militia north and south.

part II of making it easier;
when the moralist Mormon Bishop was looking for investors for his newly created off shore holding group he went where the money is for illegal under the table mischief, the United Fruit Co and the newly emerging Narco and ROGUE Air Murka types operating in Latin America.
The Salvador Arena party was is as Fascist as Franco and Benito and were was eager to invest in the Mormon's presentation of BAIN iNC. The Party leaders were military or ex mil trained at the School of the Narco's and United Fruit in Ft.Benning Ga. I realize this is hard on Shills and Troll Googlers who never pick up a book other than some anti abortionist disinformation to comprehend the real and rest of the story, fortunately for America more people know about the world and their own country thanks to the social networks which few of the geniuses on the Neo-Nazi-con BLOGS can understand.
The major difference is when u call a spade a spade it is easily confirmed or rejected immediately by everyone and anyone with a open mind who have learned on their own the real story on their history and or origins and the world since they do not teach much of it in the modern school, This is why it is so incredible in the age of African studies and Ebonics or anything politically correct because many rappers are some of the most enlightened they unlike most of the posting on these Blogs have not drank the Kool Aid and pablum served up by Fox-Rush and AIPAC.

Obama seeking to surround himself with armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously having a gun control agenda that is likely to be enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy.

But it’s not the first time that Obama has lauded the notion of responsible Americans using firearms to protect himself and his family while concurrently eviscerating that very same right for the American people.

During an ABC Nightline interview broadcast on December 26 yet recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability “to have men with guns around at all times,” in order to protect his daughters.

In addition, the school attended by Obama’s daughters in Washington D.C. has no less than 11 armed security guards on duty at all times…

The hypocrisy of gun control advocates who feverishly work to create victim disarmament yet surround themselves with armed men is rampant amongst the political class.

Let's take journalist and and pundit David Brock for example. Before he switched sides and joined the Rebel Alliance, he was one of the right wing's media hit men. During the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings, he called Ms. Hill "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty". Later on, during the Clinton Administration, he penned one of the pieces of fiction you righties fell for hook, line and sinker, called Troopergate. He saw the error of his ways during the Shrub Administration. I suggest you read his book "Blinded By The Right".

Excellent, I seem to be drawing the liberals out, now how about you liberals give some substance in your comments, any fool can call names, and most children do. Show me where the democrats have NOT moved left. The Democratic Party, in the time of JFK, was like a present Republican Party.

Democrats, such as JFK, then favored much less taxes, and were not so pro-big government. JFK said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". Modern Democrats believe that the government should give everything to everyone, tax the rich, and everyone will live happily ever after. The only problem is that economics doesn't work like that. Less taxes yields higher revenues to the government, this is a FACT.

I was a Democrat in the 1960s and early 1970s because it was a relatively centrist party. However, I became a Republican quickly after That. I saw what the Democrats were voting for in the senate and it wasn't good for America a a rule.

You liberals that comment do not seem to be able to make your point. Anytime freedom is given up for false security you are the fool.

So why has the Democratic Party turned into such a dump? What influenced it to move to the far left of the political spectrum? Zell Miller, a conservative Democrat, tried to restore the Democratic Party back to its old self, but failed to do so.

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.

In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on
equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job.

That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.

People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.

People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.

The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)

So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.

Stones,
If banning guns will stop the violence and mass killings, why is banning hunger, unemployment, leukemia and aids stupid? After all, if it works for gun violence, it should work for anything. This could be the start of something great! If there is something that you don't like, just ban it and it will stop. I do not like mushrooms on my pizza, so I think that we should ban mushrooms on pizzas so I don't have to worry about a mushroom accidentally getting on my slice.
Here is another great idea, let's make it illegal to kill somebody and how about we make it against the law to drive drunk. That way nobody will kill anybody and we solve the problem of driving under the influence. Problems solved and all it took was a new law or a ban.
While we are at it, how about we ban poor people. We can make it a crime to be poor and then everybody will be rich!

A Dire Warning to American Jews Supporting Gun Control
by Rabbi Dovid Bendory, Rabbinic Director.

http://www.ammoland.com/2011/02/dire-warning-to-american-jews-supporting-gun-control/#axzz2I6hIERYN

Here in the United States, we Jews have the wonderful and unique freedom to own and use firearms in righteous self-defense.

Many American Jews don’t know it, but America actually provides freer access to firearms ownership than Israel provides to its citizenry. By and large, an Israeli cannot own or carry a firearm unless he or she is now, or once was, a member of the Israeli military, and handguns are further restricted.

How unique is our freedom as American Jews? Our brothers and sisters living in other nations (excepting Israel) have no meaningful recourse to firearms use in moral self-defense. The citizenries of Germany, England, France, Spain, Australia, Russia, and dozens of other countries live disarmed by government diktat. The history of our People’s disarmament and slaughter spans continents and centuries … see “Gateway to Tyranny”

This holy man is no lobbyist his golden calf is "Jews for the preservation of insanity and LAUGHING all the way to the bank." or Ammoland.
Son of a gun is better than Glen BECK and the rugged missing teeth unwashed salesmen at Dixie gun shows because of his Thule society views of freedom and using Jews which is better than Zionists, Skull and Bones guys from Yale or the discredited hillybilly oxy misinfo moron since not all Jews are Zionists they are all potential victims, now all Christians with a guilty conscious who have not contributed to the," let the Zionist-Christan and JEWS in RUSSIA go "do the right thing and notify one of the dozen ZIONIST Senators and 50 or so Congressmen in the Murkan peoples house to stand by son of a Gun and Rabbi laughing all the way in the quest to keep Ammoland healthy and prosperous.

Now we don't have nuts and bolts Vera to lead the choir or change the subject we have a troubled beyond his control a shill toll of AMMO LAND , son of a GUN and Tired defending insanity and laughing all the way to the bank.
Rabbi laughing says only former IDF can carry a UZI in the Holy land, if we allow our returning forces to have a street sweeper and and other auto weapons and include those that were damaged by IED'S and other acts of Terror it would result in more LAFFING all the way -profits for Ammoland without a doubt.

You can bet that during the immediate future, Obama and his cohorts will be pushing hard to make as much political hay of this latest horrific event as they are able.

I pray that neither of you have or will ever pro create. Your manners are sorely lacking. Secondly, No body took our jobs.......we gave them away by over regulating every slight aspect of the job. We don't allow the employer to make the rules and reap the rewards or repercussions of their rules. You act like the Chinese just swooped in and stole our jobs. I don't believe that it's very logical to accuse someone else of stealing when we are doing everything we can to stifle growth and success and essentially hand our jobs over to them. Start a business and see how easy it is to run. I imagine you would be closing up shop and heading to Asia before your Grand Opening sign was dry. In addition, you assume that you know which side of the political arena I sit on, by saying things like "your president."

For me its always been a personal and emotional argument, even more than a factual one. I’m a proud Jewish American. Over six million of my fellow Jews were enslaved, starved, tortured, and then slaughtered by Adolph Hitler. Before it could happen, in 1938, Hitler banned gun ownership for Jews.

The reality is that throughout history, the first thing all tyrants do is disarm the citizens. Then the mass killings begin.

In the end we all have to remember our Second Amendment was not put in place to protect us from criminals and random crime. It was put in place to protect the citizens from government.

Thomas Jefferson put it best: "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

I’ll be glad to give up my guns when the elites in Washington and Hollywood agree to disarm their bodyguards. And when President Obama stops sending his daughters to the exclusive Sidwell Friends School, which has a 9-person armed security force.

For all of these reasons, that's why now more than ever, we need to protect the second amendment. That's why now more than ever, we need the NRA.

Repeat- the Government is not coming for your guns! The Supreme Court has said you have a right to defend your home and to hunt. That does give you the right to have a nuclear bomb, or an assault weapon with a huge clip if the Government says you can't. No more than the Government saying you can't go 100 miles an hour, it may be a law. Hopefully, not having assault weapons will become law.

RB,
I guess my points are not important to this argument, as you say, because they prove the point that the government has and will continue to take away your rights.
If you don't think that this is important, well, there is no helping you. Here are a couple of things that the government can now do that violate your and my rights:

#1. Under the “library provision” of the USA PATRIOT Act, the government can demand that custodians of records – including librarians, schools, social work institutions, and internet service providers (who have access to a mind-boggling array of information about us) turn over those records without having to explain to a court why they want those records, or whether the person who is the subject of the records has done anything suspicious.
#2. Under the National Security Letter the FBI and other agencies can demand some records from telecommunications and financial services providers without any court order at all. This "letter" also contains a gag order preventing the recipient of the letter from disclosing that the letter was ever issued. From 2003 to 2006 the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued 192,499 national security letter requests.
#3. Amendments to the Patriot Act let the government spy on Americans using a Cold War era statute designed for tracking the covert activities of Soviet agents.
But you are right, nothing to important worry about.

And yet it is the Jewish influence in this country that are pushing gun control, you would think the Jews in this country would wise up. I have poste the link in a previous post you did read the information didn't you?

I think you and other of your ilk have problems, and the common thread is rage

In my experience anti–gun people harbor more rage than others, or they’re less able to cope with it appropriately, you and others have shown that in your posts. They can’t handle their own feelings of rage, they are forced to use defense mechanisms in an unhealthy manner. Because they wrongly perceive others as seeking to harm them, they advocate the disarmament of ordinary people who have no desire to harm anyone. So why do you and anti–gun people have so much rage and why are they unable to deal with it in appropriate ways? Consider for a moment that the largest and most hysterical anti–gun groups include disproportionately large numbers of women, African–Americans and Jews. And virtually all of the organizations that claim to speak for these "oppressed people" are stridently anti–gun. Not coincidentally, among Jews, Blacks and women there are many "professional victims" who have little sense of identity outside of their victimhood.

Are you a victim? Angry at what? Your posts say you are.

Patch...Is it not time to pull the plug on this board? Haven't these lunatics had enough time already to spew forth their individual and peculiar b.s. ? I say onward to possibly and hopefully a more enlightened / enlightening topic. Oh...wait...this is The Patch...little to no hope of that! Just close this thing down already. It will give these nut jobs time and space to exercise their other muscles. You are exhausting what little grey matter they have.

Spoken like a true liberal.
I am smarter than you so why don't you just do it my way and become "enlightened".
Anyone that does not agree with my views is a "nut job" or a "lunatic" that spews "b.s.".
If I can't have it my way, just close it down or in other words, BAN IT.

@son of ammo; The rage toward the POTUS is understandable and u either are in need of new scripts or have not been included in the profit deluge!
The BILLION DOLLAR never ending campaign against the moderate GOP -AKA Socialist to u and other disinfo and misinfo dummies and shills alike has paid more than triple the amount spent. Corp after tax profits have grown 171 % more than any POTUS since WWII. They are twice as high as they were in 666 (Ron Wilson Reagan) admin peak years of morning in America, and 50% greater since the Internet boom of Clinton. Under the twin skull and bones guys from Yale were flat and largely declined (except for Helliburton and related DEF contractors), despite the BUSH WELFARE QUEEN SUBSIDIZES and CUTS.
These yahoos from TEXASS are as dumb as rocks and Neo Jews for wanting their golden cash cow or golden calf to BE impeached it puts a new spin on why the TEX ASS MORONS are the leading ammo producing states, they will need a lot of every caliber ammo and body guards if OBAMA is driven from office.

Victims of tyranny -- from the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, to the victims of Joseph Stalin and Idi Amin -- have all wished they were armed. We should not join their ranks of victimhood.

Why would Americans give up the right to have the best possible defense weapon we can have to protect our home, family, state and nation from criminals of ALL kinds?

Mike F., you should look up the MUJAHIDEEN in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation of that country. You should also look up the Viet Cong in Viet Nam against the French and later the U. S. led coalition. While you're at it, you should probably read about the Algerians against the French in the 1950s-1960s. It'd probably be a good idea then, after all those, to read about what is going on in Syria right now and what happened in Egypt and Libya recently.

When you're done, please tell us again how untrained civilians have never defeated trained armies with tanks.

For starters my old M- 2 90mm AAA gun does not fit in the garage! The suffering and poor Jew card , can u tell me why after so many Jews from the former USSR were sent to Israel or Brooklyn in the 90's and Stalin killed so many of them and to top it off 90% of the Communist Party were Jews!
Rabbi Eckstein is still appealing to Western Christians in his fellowship of Christ killers and dummies to feed the starving old Jews left in Russia while super Jew Sheldon Adelson has financed screw ball TPARTY and Treasonous Robme for a Billion total in the last 2 elections, now why hasn't he fed the poor starving Jews and why are they starving while he and the Fed and Walls street Banksters who are much worse than Madoff who only screwed and took from Jews, the scumbag of AIG also a EZRAITE is suing us for bailing his Kosher butt out, the Media controlled by Zionists never question the predatory banksters or laundering drug and vice money of Adelson starving jews, it is another form of increasing AMMO land profits.Don't any Ezraite in your Talmud reading synagogue help Ammoland or the starving Jews how many gated houses do the !% Jews need? On top of that the IDF found out most of the Russians released that went to ERETZ YISRAEL were goy who are uncut. it's a real crime the MURKAN theocrat's waging their "PRAISE the LORD and PASS the AMMO" ignore the real debates on the genocide ag Palestinians by the NETANYAHU -AIPAC government no money in that!

Butch: "who is Rich sch"? Well, he was a poster on here who was finally banned. When someone posts right wing nonsense they may be referred to as Rich. Many of us think he is posting, possibly as McCloud but I never thought BS was Rich, he does not post enough links and his comments are not 7000 words.
