If our guv’ment has their way…
In our country, the United States of America, as long as our government continues their move to the left our rights will continue to be scrutinized, targeted for change, diluted and subsequently destroyed. Leave it to the left, those who wish to disarm us to ride the tsunami of any global tragedy involving the use of firearms. The most recent? The Christchurch, NZ mosque shooting. An event perpetrated by a group of madmen! I’ve copied a url from a comment to the Kiwi Farms website (which, by the way has little, if anything to do with New Zealand other than the name of the site.) The New Zealand police sent a letter to the site's webmaster "Joshua Moon" thinking the site was somehow connected to New Zealand. It's included in a link below. Note the tone of the letter and the tone of Moon's curt but appropriate reply. There’s already rumblings within our borders for the separation of our fellow U.S. citizens and the rest of us from our rightful ownership and possession of firearms. Not to mention the wholesale dissolution of our right(s) to defend ourselves against aggression as a United States citizen in our grand United States of America.
As usual, the global elite, the global left (including members of our own government whose allegiance falls with the global elite) won’t "let a crisis go to waste” in the recent, horrible mass shooting at the mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. The crisis in New Zealand hadn't ended before our Second Amendment rights were being attacked yet again by our politicos, the global elitists and those special interest groups within our borders who have so much to gain by separating us U.S. citizens from our right to possess and if need be use our personal firearms for self preservation.
New Zealand's government is seeking personal information from global internet sites regarding their citizens. That's troubling at best but it's certainly nothing new. Undoubtedly, all governments across the globe are doing this personal information mining regarding their respective citizens. It's a given, if we use the internet we're announcing our beliefs, our thoughts at the time to the whole world... or at least to those who wish to read them. As the sole "owner" of this particular site I will not knowingly nor willingly release any personal information to the government without just cause (i.e. court order, legal requirement).
It appears there's at least one webmaster who has the same outlook.
Here’s a simple notice on what the police believed to be a New Zealand website that I read earlier today. It’s evident New Zealand’s parliament is ramping up for what appears to be a total gun confiscation and control effort. Expect a more urgent push by those on the left here in our United States of America and those representing the global elite for similar gun confiscation and/or control... in effect, a continuing effort to separate U.S. citizens from our Second Amendment rights at least. The rest will fall later.
Meanwhile, for my KIWI friends who do happen to drop by and read this from time to time. If you're New Zealand gun owners you need to Take Notice!!! And for those of us in our grand ol' U.S. of A??? well, you know what's most likely going to spin off of this tragedy here in our country... it's emboldened the left and their relentless attempts to separate U.S. citizens from our second amendment rights.
I’ve borrowed the link referred to above from the New Zealand Farms website. New Zealand? It's fairly evident judging from the information contained in the official letter to Joshua Moon by the NZ authorities that your government is tracking you. The government's letter to Moon regarding his particular website acknowledges you're being tracked. But, then again every other government in the world is most likely tracking their respective citizens, including ours here in America.
In the end much of this post is in response to gun control on a global scale. In particular, government mining of personal information from the internet much like New Zealand’s government requesting information from ISPs and others relating to New Zealanders use of the internet. The New Zealand guv’ment wants to track and monitor their citizens online activities subsequent to the Mosque shooting in New Zealand.
Why make that tracking any easier for them. Follow the advice give by "Joshua Moon" the New Zealand Farms webmaster.
Oh, and Moon's response was epic.
IMHO of course…

Black Men Are 14% More Likely To Die By "Firearm Homicide" Than White Men
...Or so the statistics show. So where does the real "gun problem" lie? Is it the gun? The bullets? The police? Hate crimes? Self inflicted gun deaths?
I'll argue it's the culture. As the linked article shows, relating to firearms "black men are more likely to die in homicides" while "white men are more likely to die in suicides". And oddly enough, the figures that established the white suicide rate suggests that 60 percent of all gun related suicides occur in "Western States". This information came from studies done via our government's "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research" database. You can find their link to the information in the article I linked to above as well.
I also believe this study suggests that if black homicides were eliminated from the whole equation our gun homicide rate would drop tremendously. Obviously, we can't exclude those figures from the calculations but I'd suggest some sort of effort be employed to dramatically reduce (in a perfect world, eliminate) all black on black homicides altogether. Though, given our the challenges our society faces today I'd argue that such a reduction would not be a realistic or practical suggestion. Call it what you want, paint any pretty picture of it that you might want to paint but the black on black homicides are not going to simply "go away" via a "gun ban".
If the person in possession of a gun is in possession of that gun to commit a criminal act then that person most likely won't care if the gun he or she is in possession of is "registered" or not. Nor will that person care if the gun is "banned". They're going to use it.
At least one reader of the article, Mike Watkins commented with: "Liberals love to tell you how we should emulate some gun-restricting country, like for instance Sweden, because “their low gun homicide rates prove gun control works.
Come back at them with this: if you remove young urban black male homicides by other young urban black males, from US statistics, our gun homicide rate is about the same as Sweden’s.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT GUNS, THE PROBLEM IS THE SUB-CULTURES WITHIN THE US THAT TEACH THE YOUTH THAT VIOLENCE IS PART OF BEING A MAN."
I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Watkins. One other suggestion that I think should be factored into the study would include those gun related homicides perpetrated by illegal immigrants including those MS-13, etc. folks. Let's factor those figures in and see how low we just might go beyond where the article has our nation at right now.
I'm convinced, given the statistics I've read while reviewing this information that guns are not the problem. Given the varied cultures we've brought into our nation, the wrong people in possession of firearms, their sole purpose of "ownership", their evident intent and their support networks and nefarious incentives suggests the problem lies somewhere other than the "gun" and "legitimate gun ownership". Until we get a grip on our criminal situation we'll continue experiencing this behavior. Homicides will continue to occur and will increase. We need to focus on a solution to the problem, not a politically correct excuse for the problem.
We need to put our "big boy pants" on and admit that our firearms are not the problem, those folks who should never be in possession of them are. We can't effectively "ban" firearms from everyone. We'll only be banning firearms from those who "legally" possess them.
Just sayin'

The "March For Our Lives"... a different perspective.
We all remember the Parkland school shooting, the Sandy Hook school shooting and oh-so-many others but we remember them differently as we grieve together, differently.
The most recent Baby Boomer generation's manipulation of their own offspring, their own spawn suggests they're not about to let a crisis go to waste. Especially if that crisis has a strong political link to their once failed and now resurrected agenda... The "March For Our Lives" wasn't a march for their lives. It was a march by the left for the left to promote the left's absurd global agenda once again and it failed. Regardless, it was another opportunity by the left to seize the stage relating to an insane, misguided, evil 19 yr. old failed product of liberalism's assault on all things he despised... freedom, happiness, family, friends, unity, diversification, security, peace...
And now the globalists, those who supported the most recent whiney liberal "march"... this "March For Our Lives" are laughing at those they manipulated into participating in that event. And all the while at least one lone wolf, one victim of that assault by the insane, murderous liberal product of the Baby Boomer society of the 60's sees the sanity in the whole ordeal. He sees this march for what it is, a blatant assault on all things conservative. An assault on the National Rifle Association and all things, all people associated with it. He sees it as another blatant attempt to strip us, our republic, our fellow citizens of our right to personal protection, of our second amendment rights in particular.
Yeah, Kyle Kashuv survived the insane attack on his school that day by spending most of the day hiding in a closet. Wondering when he would hear that door open and face his killer. He survived that day much like the rest of the survivors did... thankful to be alive in the end and he sees things differently, much differently than those like that fool Hogg who are fist pumping the air at every opportunity they get to advance the global liberal agenda on our society.
Kyle Kashuv's shown the maturity that folks like David Hogg and others fail to grasp, let alone feign. Kyle Kashuv recognizes there's problems that need to be addressed and division is one of those problems. He's suggesting that this whole new view of liberal knee jerking needs to be reviewed and called out for what it truly is...
I'm guessing it most likely has something to do with maturity. The global left recognizes the impressionable, the naïve, those who are adults by age but still children mentally and they manipulate them to promote their global agenda. Kashuv refused to be manipulated. He held his ground and spoke his mind.
The left, they don't like what he has to say. Too bad. Giddoverit!

Crimes, Victims, Guns, etc.
My friend Dan shared some information with me that really tends to bring everything into perspective regarding criminal activity, gun ownership, the creation of a victim rich society and correlation of crimes, victims and guns in relation to a number of "modern" nations.
The information was forwarded to him by his friend who has since retired from long, eventful law enforcement career. Local, state and federal law enforcement. Respecting his privacy, I'll leave his name out of this post. I'll also just copy and paste the post below. I won't comment... Now anyways.
Once again, thanks for sharing Dan! Here it is, enjoy!

Crime: US vs UK and Canada
The US has a lot of guns and a lot of murders compared to England, Canada, and most of Europe. This is something Piers Morgan likes to point out to Americans who then struggle to defend the wisdom of gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment: “How do you justify 4.8 murders/year per 100,000 population when there are only 1.6/year per 100,000 in Canada, 1.2/year per 100,000 in the UK, and 1.0/year per 100,000 in Australia — countries with few murders and tough anti-gun laws?,” he asks. What Piers doesn’t mention, is that these anti-gun countries have far higher contact crime (assault) rates than the US.
The differences narrow somewhat when considering most violent crimes, but we still have far fewer than Canada and the UK. Canada has 963/year per 100,000 “most violent crimes,” while the US has 420/year per 100,000. “Most violent crimes” here are counted as: “murder and non-negligent manslaughter,” “forcible rape,” “robbery,” and “aggravated assault” (FBI values). England and Wales classify crimes somewhat differently, but have about two times the US rate, 775/year per 100,000, if “most violent crimes” are defined as: “violence against the person, with injury,” “most serious sexual crime,” and “robbery.”
It is possible that the presence of guns protects Americans from general crime while making murder more common, but it’s also possible that gun ownership is a murder deterrent too. Our murder rate is 1/5 that of Mexico, 1/4 that of Brazil, and 1/3 that of Russia; all countries with strong anti-gun laws but a violent populous. Perhaps the US (Texan) penchant for guns is what keeps Mexican gangs on their, gun-control side of the border. Then again, it’s possible that guns neither increase nor decrease murder rates, so that changing our laws would not have any major effect. Switzerland (a country with famously high gun ownership) has far fewer murders than the US and about 1/2 the rate of the UK: 0.7 murders/ year per 100,000. Japan, a country with low gun ownership has hardly any crime of any sort — not even littering. As in the zen buddhist joke, change comes from within.
Homicide rate per country:
One major theory for US violence was that drugs and poverty were the causes. Remove these by stricter anti-drug laws and government welfare, and the violent crime would go away. Sorry to say, it has not happened; worse yet, murder rates are highest in cities like Detroit where welfare is a way of life, and where a fairly high fraction of the population is in prison for drugs.
I suspect that our welfare payments have hurt Detroit as much as they’ve helped, and that Detroit’s higher living wage, has made it hard for people to find honest work. Stiff drug penalties have not helped Detroit either, and may contribute to making crimes more violent. As Thomas More pointed out in the 1500s, if you are going to prison for many years for a small crime, you’re more likely to use force to avoid risk capture. Perhaps penalties would work better if they were smaller.
Detroit 1967 to 2017: unemployment comes down, murder rate doesn't.

Darned Guns!!!
Mike Brown calls out his guns and they failed to respond! I guess he trained them well or he bought lazy ones. What can I say, it's a gun control experiment.
Thanks Mike! Great video! It's spot on.
If you're interested in more of Instructor Mike's videos and common sense approach to things hop on over to his Facebook page. Either way this is the same stuff we've been saying all along about those nasty guns. Though Instructor Mike takes it to the next level.

If You Don't Read Anything Read This!
NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE!
The left's battle cry! They never let a crisis go to waste. Especially when it affects the hearts and souls of Americans everywhere! They have an overwhelming urge to seize the headlines, seize the opportunity and bastardize an event, any event large enough to affect the voters, those of us who decide our nation's fate. They'll misrepresent everything about their newfound attention magnet and they'll milk it and the empathy, the disgust, the angst that goes with it to the "nth" degree.
Nope, the left, the liberals of this country, of this world are nothing more than sick sensationalists, sick opportunists who will stop at absolutely nothing to get a vote including this alleged episode of the wholesale abuse, opportunistic twist to the Parkland, Florida school shooting. Could it be that they propped up a "concerned student activist" who's allegedly "genuinely concerned" about our nation's collective citizen's propensity to retain and freely exercise our second amendment rights? Yeah, it's a likely possibility.
It's been mentioned in the media that there's at least one student activist representing the left's gun control efforts following the most recent tragedy in Florida. And it's also been alleged this is not simply a random "student activist". Nope, it's suggested that the particular "activist" and several others have been groomed, coached, funded and mentored by some of the best propagandists in the business... the left... the democrats and leftists who have a true need to deprive us of our guns, our ammunition, our liberties, our second amendment rights... to regulate our education, direct our focus before they can effectively enact their "agenda" for us, our country.
Is there any merit to these claims? I don't know for sure but right, wrong or indifferent the whole idea is troubling.
So tell me, who's playing who?
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Does Cloward-Piven come to mind? They already have the press, the schools, the health care, the welfare, the needy in their pockets... now all they need are our guns.

Teachers, Administrators With Guns?!
Why the hell NOT?!
Our most precious national resource is gene-rationally cultured and harbored in our K-12 schools throughout our country. We've labeled those schools "gun free" zones and in essence hung a target on any or all of our kids and grand-kids! We've even gone so far as to advertise the absence of firearms, the presence of vulnerable children and the school's inability to defend them with those damned "Gun Free Zone" signs posted all over the schools campuses.
I know when I was in school we learned how to handle, store, use and clean guns. Yeah, a public K-12 education system teaching us young hellions that stuff without any second thoughts involved. But then again, that was in the 50's-60's and my father had already broached guns, the handling, shooting, cleaning of them with my brothers and I. Things were more grounded back in those days. Our parents held us accountable for our actions and omissions. What we did we had to own up to. I don't recall hearing of any "mass shootings" let alone "shootings" in any of the schools I attended nor any of those schools in our state.
We even had rifle and pistol clubs. We would duck hunt in the morning on the way to school and again in the afternoon after football practice or on our way home.
Today, given the target rich environment we've created for those out here amongst us who might want to do harm to our children, our grandchildren via the "gun free zone" laws our legislators passed and the schools subsequently advertise I figured it was only a matter of time. And it was... quite awhile ago. It's getting past insane! It's getting to be borderline criminal to deny an adult every tool, every right to defend ourselves, our children, to defend those who we've been morally and/or legally empowered to protect.
In short, I couldn't believe legislators were disarming those of us who are very capable defenders, of our final options of self defense and defense of others by making our schools "gun free zones" AND ADVERTISING IT!
It's so sad that it takes these types of human caused tragedies resulting from the restriction of our constitutional rights to create new laws that otherwise afford us our basic constitutional rights, for the protection of ourselves, of others!
America, wake up! If we restrict guns then only those of us who are responsible, law abiding citizens will lose our guns. The criminal element? Yeah, they'll be that much more emboldened... and armed to boot.
I purposely avoided discussing the most recent Florida school massacre on this site until now. Now it seems like there just might be a return to sanity, to favor in err of our children, our most precious resources. To regain and maintain one of our most fundamental basic rights afforded us... the right to keep and bear arms... And I will continue to keep and bear arms to protect myself and those in need from evil when relevant. Kudos to Senator Dennis Baxley for his legislative proposal that suggests teachers and administrators should be allowed to be armed with a firearm while on a school campus.
Chalk this up as a "vent"! Or if you want, a "rant"... I could care less. I just think it's so darned sad to have another avoidable tragedy (like all of these school shootings are) go down and once again no one was equipped to effectively eliminate the threat before the threat could kill our children. This law should never have needed to have been introduced. The basic, fundamental right to defend our children, ourselves from evil with whatever force is necessary should never have been shelved by a bunch of fat cat legislators in the first place, let alone anyone else!

It's getting to be borderline criminal to deny an adult every tool, every right to defend ourselves, our children, to defend those who we've been morally and/or legally empowered to protect.
In short, I couldn't believe legislators were disarming those of us who are very capable defenders, of our final options of self defense and defense of others by making our schools "gun free zones" AND ADVERTISING IT!
It's so sad that it takes these types of human caused tragedies resulting from the restriction of our constitutional rights to create new laws that otherwise afford us our basic constitutional rights, for the protection of ourselves, of others!
America, wake up! If we restrict guns then only those of us who are responsible, law abiding citizens will lose our guns. The criminal element? Yeah, they'll be that much more emboldened... and armed to boot.
I purposely avoided discussing the most recent Florida school massacre on this site until now. Now it seems like there just might be a return to sanity, to favor in err of our children, our most precious resources. To regain and maintain one of our most fundamental basic rights afforded us... the right to keep and bear arms... And I will continue to keep and bear arms to protect myself and those in need from evil when relevant. Kudos to Senator Dennis Baxley for his legislative proposal that suggests teachers and administrators should be allowed to be armed with a firearm while on a school campus.
Chalk this up as a "vent"! Or if you want, a "rant"... I could care less. I just think it's so darned sad to have another avoidable tragedy (like all of these school shootings are) go down and once again no one was equipped to effectively eliminate the threat before the threat could kill our children. This law should never have needed to have been introduced. The basic, fundamental right to defend our children, ourselves from evil with whatever force is necessary should never have been shelved by a bunch of fat cat legislators in the first place, let alone anyone else!

Washington State Gun Owners! TAKE NOTICE!!!
THIS IS SERIOUS!!!
Our liberal legislators are trying to restrict access to our second amendment rights. There's the new legislation that I posted on this site a couple of weeks ago that's still raising its ugly head. Only one of those pieces of proposed legislation failed to meet the committee deadline and died in committee which means the remaining five pieces are still "out there" being tweaked to ensure our rights are going to be infringed.
Thanks to the National Rifle Association's legislative team (NRA-ILA) I have the most current updates available. I'm posting them here as LEGISLATIVE UPDATES RELATING TO FIREARMS IN WASHINGTON STATE.
As you read the information and the proposed legislation note the peculiar "definitions" assigned to certain critical elements of each proposal. I'd go into them with you but believe you should review them for yourselves then, if you want to discuss them send me a note and we can go from there. I'll post my thoughts as an update to this post as we discuss the concerns. I won't reveal anyone's identity unless they ask me to.
Here's the link for you to obtain information regarding your particular Legislative District and those legislators who represent you. It's not my favorite but it's probably the most practical to put up here for those who have never or rarely contacted their legislators. You should be able to find the location where you live on the state map, click on that particular location and you should be led to another link where you can search for your particular legislator.
DON'T BE SHY! CONTACT THEM AND KEEP CONTACTING THEM!
These legislator folks, they work for us. You need to let them know what you individually think about the proposed legislation.
Bill links...
- HB 1134 2017-18 BANNING THE SALE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS AND LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES
- HB 2422 2017-18 CONCERNING HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES
- SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 5463 CIVIL LIABILITY AND GUN LOCKS (Note: this is a link to the bill in bill form itself. To obtain more information you'll have to follow the number through the legislative process.)
- SB 6415 2017-18 REQUIRING PERMISSION TO BRING A CONCEALED FIREARM INTO ANOTHER PERSON'S RESIDENCE OR DWELLING PLACE
- HB 2293 2017-18 RESTRICTING FIREARMS AND DANGEROUS WEAPONS IN EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES
As of this date my understanding is that each of these bills failed to meet their respective committee deadlines for review, revisions, etc. But, that doesn't mean they're wholly out of the picture... yet. So don't be fooled if your respective legislators try to suggest they're "dead and gone". Keep a wary eye on those folks who are representing us and keep inquiring about those bills that adversely affect our . Quite often a dead bill can get resurrected.
If you wish you can follow the specific bills here. It takes a bit of navigation and you have to use particular bill numbers or titles to work your way around but it's extremely informative. It's my favorite portal for reading and researching the proposed legislation. I've been using this portal for as long as it's been up.
Either way, we need to ensure much, if not all of this legislation is defeated or at least accepted if it's in favor of our Second Amendment rights which I didn't see any that would qualify as such. From my limited reviews and subsequent determination each bill proposed was restricting our basic human rights to self defense and/or our Second Amendment rights (however slight) in one way or another.
Language like "bear arms" and "approved sealed, locked gun safe" are conflicting. Language like "harass, harassment" given the very liberal, fluid definition that was assigned to one of the bills would have been used to restrict or even revoke certain persons second amendment rights. The subsequent revocation of those rights would result in armed confiscation by police or agents of the state of all firearms in possession, owned or cared for by any citizen found in violation of the "harass, harassment" rule. That suggests this and the rest of the legislative proposals offered are down right unconstitutional.
So, stay on top of this!

Second Amendment Rights Being Debated In Washington State!
There are five bill proposals being "discussed" in the Washington State Judiciary Committee on January 25, 2018!
Here's the link to the information. Make sure you contact your representative, senator and any other politico or wannabe politico to let them know we do not want nor will we tolerate them tampering with our second amendment rights.
In a nutshell, from the article...
House Bill 1387, sponsored by Representative Laurie Jinkins (D-27), would impose a registration-licensing system on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and standard-capacity ammunition magazines that bill proponents label as “assault weapons” and “large-capacity magazines” (LCM). (Go to the link and read more)!
House Bill 2422, sponsored by Representative Strom Peterson (D-21), is yet another bill targeting so-called “Large Capacity Magazines” and would prohibit the possession of ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds, with limited exceptions. And yet another large cap law they're trying to push through. (Go to the link and read more)!
House Bill 2666, sponsored by Representative Nicole Macri (D-43) would abolish Washington’s decades old state firearm preemption statute. The state preemption statute, which passed in 1983, helps keep firearm and ammunition laws consistent throughout Washington... (Go to the link and read more)!
House Bill 2293, sponsored by Representative Ruth Kagi (D-32) prohibits law-abiding individuals from being able to carry a firearm for self-defense at child day care centers and early learning facilities, with limited exceptions. (Go to the link and read more)!
House Bill 2519, sponsored by Representative John Lovick (D-44), which would require law enforcement agencies, prior to returning a surrendered or impounded concealed pistol license, to verify licensee’s eligibility to possess firearms and a CPL license. (Go to the link and read more)!
A note on HB2519 that's sponsored by Representative John Lovick (D-44). The description suggests that law enforcement agencies be require, "prior to returning a surrendered or impounded concealed pistol license, to verify licensee’s eligibility to possess firearms AND a CPL license." I emphasized AND in my post to ensure the reader knows that the return of the firearm to the rightful owner would only be legal if the owner was "eligible" (whatever the hell that means) to possess the firearms they confiscated from him/her AND that the established owner was "eligible" to possess a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) whether we wanted a CPL or not. There is no requirement in the second amendment for any of us to possess a concealed pistol license (CPL) of which the eligibility of such license is determined by the state, not by our constitution. Given this particular proposal, the "eligibility" to be assigned by the local "law enforcement" dilutes our constitutional rights even more. Our layered government interprets and makes decisions that are influenced and based on their particular "level" of enforcement/interpretation, not necessarily on our constitutionally assigned rights as United States Citizens.
There is no requirement in the United States Constitution for me to be "eligible" to possess a Concealed Pistol License! I personally believe I have a right to constitutional carry a concealed firearm without purchasing a concealed carry permit sold to me by the state of Washington via the local gendarmes.
I have carried a firearm concealed for decades. Enforce the laws on the books, don't create new ones, modify old ones to regulate our rights towards what the government "believes" is right for the government. There's more than enough laws on the books that can, if interpreted properly be enforced without the creation of new and more restraining laws and rules.
But, don't get me going on state "rules".

Washington State's Proposed Gun Control Legislation...
Washington State Democrats are really running with the proposed anti-gun legislation in Washington State this year, AGAIN.
State Senator David Frockt, State Representatives Strom Peterson, Laurie Jinkins, Ruth Kagi and State Senator Kevin Van De Wege, to name a few are "all in" for controlling our second amendment rights, for restricting our access to firearms, for limiting our options relating to personal defense.
Frockt is sponsoring four of the five bills that have been forwarded for review. Bills that are designed to make our second amendment rights more difficult to exercise and certainly sacrifice some of our personal safety and liberties for what purpose? It won't make the streets safer. We've already established that globally. When the good guys can't get access to firearms the bad guys will win the day.
I suggest we adequately and aggressively enforce the laws we already have on the books rather than create new laws that infringe on our liberties. It's painfully obvious to me that the democrats in the State of Washington insist on sacrificing our safety in favor of political gain.
Why? Why is it that the democrats, the left insist on taking our second amendment rights away from us law abiding citizens? Why is it that the democrats, the leftists insist on removing our defenses against intruders, assailants? What's their agenda?
It's about control. It's a global thing.

Another Anti Gun, Bloomberg failure
Or should I say SUCCESS!
It seems awhile ago the anti-gun folks enlisted Bloomberg's influence and money to prove guns can be purchased illegally online if the left is given notice ahead of time by Bloomberg's minions. But a more recent government study arrived at somewhat different results.
The government study that was the "brain child of the "Government Accountability Office (GAO) report -- “Internet Firearm Sales: ATF Enforcement Efforts and Outcomes of GAO Covert Testing” – "was commissioned by three staunchly anti-gun members of Congress. Leading the charge was Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, who was joined by Sens. Brian Schatz (D-HI) and (Pocahontas) Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)" and was designed to torpedo online gun sales in this country, at least. This study included several years of undercover "buyers" who were directed to purchase guns online simply to show our "out of control gun peddlers" will sell to anyone at any price. It also suggested much different results than those arrived at by Bloomberg's bought and paid for "study". Much different results. But then again, it goes to show when you pay out the money for information you get the results you paid for and expected if you're Michael Bloomberg, et. al.
Here's the results of the long and costly government study that was prompted by Bloomberg's study results.
In the end it revealed there was a 100.00 per cent success rate relating to the government study. The "investigation" revealed the same results each time the undercover agent "purchasers" attempted to place an order.
Check out the link, ya' gotta love it. More taxpayer money wasted on a no problem "problem".
The left, the global agenda... they need to separate us from our guns here in the United States of America at all costs. First and foremost they need to separate us from our guns before they can move ahead with their global politics. The United States of America IS the Golden Egg and everyone wants us to succumb to "global rule".

'Bout Gun Control... An Old Blog Friend Of Mine Once Said...
I had some idle time here tonight so I decided to go back a-ways on my blog and look at some of the old posts, comments and links I've been a part of over the years. One in particular really caught my attention though it's well over ten years old.
It came from the old Western Wisdom (Semper Vigilans) blog (if anyone remembers them Patrick and Joseph). They always had a great story to tell and shared some rather unique views on things. Oddly, a review of most of the stuff they posted then and what's occurring now is uncanny in some ways.
Regardless, I borrowed the following information verbatim from Patrick's September 25, 2007 post. Here it is... a reflection of a reflection...

Gun Control
I have a message for all you liberals that may be reading this. LAY OFF GUN CONTROL! We don't need more gun control laws. We need to enforce the ones we already have. I am tired of hearing the whining and crying about how we need to make more gun control laws. NO WE DON'T! We can see what you are trying to do. You are trying to outlaw gun ownership. When this happens, let me show you what will happen. Firearm and severe crimes will increase. Think about it; when a criminal knows that people can no longer protect themselves properly they will have nothing to fear from law abiding citizens. Therefore, crime increases. We have nothing to fear from law-abiding gun owners. Instead of picking on law abiding gun owners lets focus on those who DO NOT abide by the law. Lets punish gun toting criminals with HARSHER PUNISHMENTS. They get their guns illegally anyway, so what makes you think that if you get rid of firearms they won't be able to get theirs either? There are so many guns on the black market it scares me. I will protect my family, so I WILL NOT GET RID OF MINE! I have been raised around firearms my whole life. NOT ONCE have I used a firearm illegally. NOR do I intend to. But if one breaks into my home in the middle of the night, they will learn the true meaning of gun control. I know I speak for millions of people when I say that. I borrowed the following from Andrew Wilkows Myspace page and I believe that we need to get the word out. Also if you have Sirius Satellite Radio Check out Andrew Wilkows show on 144 starting @ 11:00 a.m. CDT.

Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste!
Or so it seems with good ol' uncle Joe Biden, the potentially next democrat POTUS hopeful. He's not inclined to let gun control get out of his sites (play on word intended).
Yup, good ol' Joe, the idiot who suggests we simply wander onto our balcony and pop off a round or two through our twelve gauge pump the next time we have someone in our yard we don't want in our yard. Yeah. That Joe.
He's still screaming for gun control and suggests the hero who ended the killer rampage in the Texas church incident shouldn't have been allowed to have the gun he used to end the rampage in the first place. Biden suggests the hero was wrong for even possessing the "assault rifle".
Yeah, Biden and his liberal counterparts, they're not going to let their gun control effort of the left fail. In fact, I'm believing they're going to try a complete national gun ban within the next four or eight years.
I can only hope he gets the democrat nod in 2020. He sure is fun to watch. I can't imagine the fun I'll have when he and the democrats will be rejected by the voters again. Maybe then they'll get the hint and quit buying votes to try to strip us from our freedoms.
Either way, Uncle Joe's a funny act to watch in a pathetic sort of way.

Washington State Citizens BEWARE!!! Our Second Amendment Rights Are On The Table...
...again!
Much thanks to the National Rifle Association for their previous support and this "heads up" report for us Washingtonians who care about our rights.
Washington State's Attorney General Bob Ferguson, a democrat is pushing to restrict our United States Constitutional rights in 2018. In particular, our Second Amendment rights.
He's jumped onto the gun ban "bandwagon" (or should I say "ban-wagon") again and is pushing hard for a gun ban! From what I've read and heard he's also seriously considering making a run for the Washington State Governor's position in the next election.
We don't need his and Jay Inslee's type or style of "leadership" anymore in this state. It's time to get the government focused back on those subjects that make a difference to us here regionally, not New York or Illinois or even California. We need our state government's focus to return to the governing of our state, those issues and challenges that of concern to our state, our region our economy.
Here's another article on the same topic they tried to push through last year.
It's not about safety, it's about their agenda and the fact that they (the left, the liberals, the demoncrats) seriously believe they can't be told what to do by us, their constituents. They'll keep trying to ram gun control in this state through legislator until they get their way or until we soundly defeat them at the polls!

Much thanks to the National Rifle Association for their previous support and this "heads up" report for us Washingtonians who care about our rights.
Washington State's Attorney General Bob Ferguson, a democrat is pushing to restrict our United States Constitutional rights in 2018. In particular, our Second Amendment rights.
He's jumped onto the gun ban "bandwagon" (or should I say "ban-wagon") again and is pushing hard for a gun ban! From what I've read and heard he's also seriously considering making a run for the Washington State Governor's position in the next election.
We don't need his and Jay Inslee's type or style of "leadership" anymore in this state. It's time to get the government focused back on those subjects that make a difference to us here regionally, not New York or Illinois or even California. We need our state government's focus to return to the governing of our state, those issues and challenges that of concern to our state, our region our economy.

Saul Alinsky... and the rest of us, The "Useful Idiots"
Here's a meme that I've had around for awhile. I remember back in the late 60's, early 70's when we had to study this stuff in high school AND in college in order to get a diploma of sorts. If you were seeking a public administration degree in college you had to pass this and similar indoctrination programs of society but, quite often "passing" the program didn't necessarily mean "understanding" it. Nope, quite often it required being in "agreement with" and/or even "participating" in the whole charade of these "preferred" models for society.
For all of us who remember this, lived and still live it we knew then and truly know now that Alinsky wasn't alone. He had a lot of co-contributors, co-conspirators (and a helluva lot of "followers".
Alinsky, Guevara, Cloward-Piven, Castro et. al. needed a vessel for their models and the Demoncrats became that vessel. They were the targeted group selected by the global elite to impress the "values" of The Great Society on their fellow politicos at the time, including our educators, our mentors and our local, state and federal governments.
But it certainly didn't stop there. It's alive and well today!
Nope, we're still a nation of "useful idiots". More-so now than ever before.

Keith Olbermann VS the National Rifle Association...
...and the rest of us.
Just what the heck does this keith olbermann thing think he is? I mean, no one seems to really listen to him anymore do they? I wouldn't know. I really have nothing to do with the fool. Is he still trying to be a comedian? If so, he's failed at that too. He's a horrible comedian and a failed "talk show" host. I don't think he does the news anymore does he? Did he ever have anything to do with the news?
So who the hell cares what he has to say about anything?! I don't but I thought I'd share some of his gibberish with you. Just so you know, here's his latest lunacy... "the NRA is a terrorist organization"!
The guy's so far in the cellar that he has to resort to sensationalizing a tragedy and dragging in the National Rifle Association in a very failed attempt to prove his point. Note the idiot's skewed view of the intent of our Second Amendment to the constitution in his "discussion" about it.
I take it back, he can be a comedian at times. Only he doesn't know it. He's trying to be serious.
What a pathetic excuse for a human being, this olbermann thing.

Gun Arrests Increase
Those of us who are illegally in possession of firearms are being arrested. As it should be!
The arrests of those who have illegally acquired a firearm and/or are otherwise in possession of a firearm when they're not legally allowed to be has increased by 23% thanks to Attorney General Jeff Sessions latest orders to those federal agencies and agents enforcing our laws.
This should help remove those of us who are allowed by the second amendment to possess and carry firearms from the scrutiny of the liberal gun hounds and their handlers. At least for the time being.
The bottom line, if you've sacrificed your Second Amendment right to possess, carry a firearm then you may be on Jeff Session's hit list.
I'm not on the hit list. Not anymore. I never legally was on the guv'ment's hit list. The liberals have left the building.
At least for now.
Thanks for sharing this Dan! It's good info.

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."

Big Brother? Well, they're still watching us.
...and sharing information with other countries re: purchase of firearms, ammunition and accessories.
Australian citizens "gave up" their guns awhile ago... officially. They're not "gun free" but they are legally "gun free".
On that note, our wonderful government is feeding the Australian government information relating to the online, mail order or other material purchases of firearms related products such as muzzle breaks, solvent traps, etc. This information is used by the Australian government to follow up on the leads and track products used to care for firearms, modify them or create/modify them.
As mentioned, firearms ownership is illegal in Australia, for the most part.
By way of identifying firearms related products being purchased and shipped to Australians the Australian government can establish a bona fide argument relating to illegal weapon possession by the recipient. The information could lead and does lead to the search of residences, seizure of "contraband" and imprisonment of citizens for illegal possession of firearms, at least.
And our "big brother" government is monitoring those purchases.
So yes Dorothy, we are being monitored. Don't think for a second we aren't.
