Second Amendment Advocate Killed!

In Maryland, one of our fifty states, a Second Amendment advocate, Gary Willis was shot and killed by police in his own home for refusing to give up his firearms. From the information gleaned out of a GunsAmerica Digest publication documenting the incident it appears the man identified as Gary J. Willis and his family were awakened at 0500 hrs. by loud knocking on his door. When Willis opened the door he was armed with a pistol and was met by at least two individuals who were armed and appeared to be law enforcement officers. Willis placed his pistol on a table as the officers entered his home. The two officers advised Willis that they had a court order to confiscate his firearms and were there to seize them. A struggle ensued between the officers and Willis. Willis reached for his gun and the weapon discharged. No one was injured.

While at least one officer continued to struggle with the Willis, the other officer shot and killed Willis. The reason for shooting Willis, the Second Amendment advocate? Willis had access to a gun and the pistol was previously discharged during the struggle. Now, having been in law enforcement for quite some time myself I can understand the need to separate Willis from his pistol and I'm not going to second guess the other officer regarding his response that resulted in Willis' death. There appeared to be a struggle between his partner and an armed individual, a shot was fired, the second officer responded with what he felt was the force necessary to neutralize the threat. In this case, lethal force.

I question the underlying reason for the officers being there in the first place. They're on site to prevent a United States citizen from exercising his Second Amendment rights via a poorly drafted, difficult to enforce "Red Flag Act" law that serves to water down and streamline laws already in place that make the forfeiture of our constitutional rights a government necessity... in the protection of the public. Yeah, right.

The reason for the confiscation order issued by the court? This whole "RED FLAG" ruse? A disgruntled close relative allegedly served as an affiant to the police, suggesting her relative, Gary J. Willis was a danger to society and needed to have his firearms removed from his realm of control via the "Red Flag Act". The very same "Red Flag" law that's being introduced throughout the states. Based on the "witness'" declaration local law enforcement received via the relative they subsequently obtained that fatal court order to seize the firearms of Gary J. Willis, the now deceased homeowner/second amendment advocate.

This "Red Flag Act" is coming to our neighborhoods sooner than you think unless we start demanding our government leave our constitutional rights alone! All it takes is one disgruntled family member or "close" friend or disgruntled neighbor to suggest we, those of us who are gun advocates, Second Amendment advocates pose a serious threat to society. The law will be used to separate us law abiding second amendment advocates from our second amendment rights.

Read the link provided in the text and take it from there. 1984, George Orwell, Machiavelli, Cloward-Piven? Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will but hey, I spent a long career in law enforcement and government. I wouldn't put anything past our liberal polticos these days.

Enforce the laws that are already in place! We don't need to nor should we create new ones to accommodate the politicos incessant need to "legislate" us.

We need to protect our constitutional rights!

The "new" SCOTUS and our Second Amendment.

And yet another disappointment comes from SCOTUS.

SCOTUS? It hasn't changed all that much, yet!

Justice Thomas said the failure by SCOTUS to review this and other Second Amendment decisions "reflects a distressing trend: the treatment of the Second Amendment as a disfavored right."

Is It Time To Resist?

Our nation as we know it, as we knew it. Is it under siege? Are we just waiting for the other shoe to fall?

obummer and his cronies have this country in more turmoil than I have ever seen in my 60 years of life. I grew up in a military family loyal to the flag, the country, the cause! I enlisted in the Army 3 days after graduating from high school. We were at war and my country needed me so I enlisted.

Since 1975 I have served and am still serving my community in Law Enforcement. I'm intimately familiar with the concept of "harm's way" and view my weapons (personal and government issued) as professional and personal tools of freedom, of peace.

I'm not all that fond of the direction we're heading as a nation and I sure don't trust the current regime's empty promises. There's no doubt in my mind we're being groomed for a more humble, more submissive role in world leadership. I truly believe this latest pack of politicos who're ruining our country are hell bent on bringing us to our knees... call it atonement, call it whatever but they're of the belief we need to suffer, to apologize to the rest of the world for our freedoms, our successes we've enjoyed over the many decades of industrial and financial growth. It's my belief these politicos, both sides of the aisle, are sharing a shame of sorts for our progress made over the decades of prosperity we've enjoyed as a country, as a nation of free thinkers, workers, doers...

I'm not ashamed, I'm not atoning. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Neither should you, neither do you! We achieve and this group of politicos cry foul?!

Folks, this country as we know it is in harm's way!

What's in store for us? Who knows!

I have no doubt we'll be finding out pretty soon.

The following is some information that was "tweeted" to me today. I thought I'd share it here. Has it come to this? I hope not!

Plan to Resist

By: Craig Bowden January 6, 2013

We are at a critical moment in our nation’s history. The elitists in Washington DC appear they are moving to take away our right to keep and bear arms in direct violation of our second amendment rights.

As such, if legislation is passed it is your right to lawfully resist any attempt to confiscate your arms.

I have come up with a basic plan to hopefully combat this situation and I beg you to please listen to what I have to say.

1. Currently, it is only proposed at this stage. No legislation has been passed. As such, I need everyone who reads this to buy ammo and guns. Also, start training steadily to ensure your accuracy.

2. Since nothing is up for vote quite yet I need each and every one of you to contact your Congressman and Senators every single day until they get the hint.

Email them every day and call once a week. Do not let up the pressure. 3. Sign this petition (also sends an email to your representatives). petition

4. If legislation is passed we must push out state Attorney Generals to sue the federal government so it can be heard before the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. If they won’t listen to you push gun rights groups to sue.

5. DO NOT TURN IN OR REGISTER YOUR WEAPONS. Make them come for them. And keep them stored in different locations.

6. If they do come for you and your weapons do not allow them in your home. It is unconstitutional for them to be there.

7. Video record any attempt to arrest you.

8. I am calling everyone to network with friends and family to create phone trees. Texting 2A to a family member or friend is their signal to call everyone to head to your home to witness, photograph and video everything.

9. Once the media has been taken, upload it immediately. On twitter use the hash tag #2Aalert to notify all in the patriot network.

10. Send to all media outlets possible. Local, as well as independent.

11. Protest in front of court houses, police stations, etc. if anyone you know is unconstitutionally detained.

This is a basic outline of how we will resist. Email any stories to me at Craig_Bowden2020@hotmail.com.

And please forward this to everyone!
