What part of shall not be infringed is it that they do not understand?

How the hell is living in a high-crime neighborhood NOT a valid reason for a CCW permit?

I don’t seem to recall anything in the Constitution or the BOR about needing permission from anyone to exercise my second amendment rights to keep and bear arms,nor do I recall anything about having to give some gooberment employee a reason before they “allow” me to exercise my right to keep and bear arms.

The government does NOT “give or grant” our rights to us-our rights are pre-existing,and have nothing whatsoever to do with only being “permitted” the right to carry a handgun for self-defense if and when the gooberment says we can carry a firearm to defend ourselves,our families,our property,and our homes.

These anti-gun leftist loons need some remedial education that does not take place in any of our state indoctrination camps…errrr…universities.

The government does NOT grant our rights-we have the right to self defense in spite of  the incessant .gov efforts to disarm us.

D.C. is has been accepting applications for concealed handgun permits for about a week but that could soon end.

News4’s Mark Segraves is reporting D.C. Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan will appeal a judge’s ruling requiring the city to issue concealed carry permits. If successful, the District could take away any permits originally granted.

The Attorney General will file the appeal by the end of the year, but D.C. will continue accepting applications until a decision is made.

Right now, applicants must specifically show why they believe they need a permit. Officials say living in a high-crime neighborhood is not a sufficient reason. However, victims of domestic violence or death threats are among those who could be granted permits.

In the weeks since we last reported on media attempts to tie NRA to the Ebola crisis because of our opposition to the nomination of Dr. Vivek Murthy as surgeon general, the anti-gun echo chamber has continued to promote this absurd line of argument. Absent most of the coverage is a forthright discussion of NRA’s legitimate concerns with the nominee, or any evidence that Murthy himself has a singular ability to effectively handle the nation’s Ebola response.

NRA opposes Dr. Murthy’s nomination for the very reason that he has a history of exploiting his status as a medical practitioner to advance a purely political agenda of extreme and unproven gun control measures. In January 2013, Dr. Murthy signed two letters sent from his organization Doctors for America (formerly Doctors for Obama) to Vice President Joe Biden and Congress, advocating for stringent gun controls. The letter to Congress advocated for a ban on popular semi-autos and their ammunition, limits on ammunition purchases, firearm owner licensing, and a mandatory waiting period of at least 48 hours. The letter also expressed a desire to leverage the resources of the Centers for Disease Control to provide data for gun control efforts. Such proposals are of obvious import to gun owners. Moreover, as surgeon general, Dr. Murthy would have the ideal platform to direct the nation’s public health apparatus towards redefining firearms ownership as a disease, a tactic that Congress has curbed with funding limits since the 1990s, but one President Obama hopes to reinvigorate.

This little gem at the end of my rant sums up Murthy as a person-a person who has had a lifelong anti-gun agenda and is not capable of doing any job without inserting his anti-gun bias into anything and everything-Mr. Murthy would do well to read up on OCD and Hoplophobia.

Murthy is in no way even a fair candidate for surgeon general-he insists that “gun violence”is a “public health” problem.

His solution-register and license firearms-and make gun ownership a disease.

The man thinks it’s just fine to classify an enumerated Constitutional right as a mental illness.

I’ve got news for Mr. Murthy-the only mental illness involved in this issue is his hoplophobia.

99.9% of gun owners are sane-have no mental illnesses,have no propensity to commit crimes of “gun violence”-or any crimes at all.

Mr. Murthy would simply continue his lifelong quest to ban gun ownership.

He is unfit for the job of surgeon general due to his far left political ideology,his lifelong anti-gun crusade,his intentions to make gun ownership a mental illness-and his support of far left causes.

No one who is so focused on idiocy like requiring a license to exercise an enumerated Constitutional right,requiring gun owners to register our firearms,classifying gun owners as having a mental illness,and using the CDC to generate junk “science” to support his anti-gun crusade is fit to be the surgeon general of the United States of America-period.

We’ve seen the CDC junk science to support gun control movie already-we do not need a remake of it.

We already had an administration determined to ban guns-we don’t need a repeat of slick Willie and the “assault weapons” ban,we do not need so-called “universal background checks”-we do not need to have a license required to exercise our second amendment right to keep and bear arms,and we sure as hell are not mentally ill-we sure as hell do NOT need to register our guns.

WE already have an administration that is hostile towards our second amendment right to keep and bear arms-the last thing we need is another member of this admin. in a position where he can use his job to promote his lifelong anti-gun agenda.

The leftists,libtards,progressives and metrosexuals that make up the current admin need to understand that if they fuck with our gun rights any more-in any way-it will be like they kicked a hornet’s nest.

Remember,during the revolutionary war-it only took III% of the population to defeat what was the greatest military on the planet at the time-the English navy ruled the seas,the English army was the largest fighting force in the world at the time-and THREE PERCENT of the population kicked their asses and sent them home to England as a defeated wrold power.

That shit can,and will happen again-you can only kick a sleeping dog so many times before it bites you…

Kicking the hornets nest that is Americas gun owners would be like poking a sleeping grizzly bear-something no sane person does.

The .gov morons who helped create the current police state would like nothing more than to disarm the population-it’s much easier to control the population that way-between creating a blizzard of paperwork that is the United States Code,and the labyrinth of fed and other .gov agency laws,rules, and regs these things makes it so any prosecutor in any state,in any county of the United States can charge and convict anyone they want to,at any time they want to for violating something-or many somethings from the absurd number of laws on the books.

None of this is Constitutional-it is a violation of our civil rights-any and every gun owner charged with any one of these insane laws/rules/regs needs to file a lawsuit for violation of civil rights under Title 42,Section 1983 of the USC…

42 U.S. Code § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights

“Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.”

If everyone who was charged with these insane,absurd,obscure laws would demand a jury trial,then sue for the civil rights violation that it is-this bullshit would stop.

The only thing Mr. Murthy is an expert at is attempting to violate the civil rights of all American gun owners-that and being a leftist loon.

Oh yeah-here’s the little gem that started my rant…

“Yet even before Murthy gained fame as Obama’s unlikely pick for America’s top doctor — chosen at an age when most physicians are still struggling to establish their practices and pay off medical school loans — he was offering his unsolicited “expertise” on gun control in correspondence to America’s leaders.  Should he likewise care to offer his musings on combating Ebola, he presumably remembers the addresses of the White House and Capitol and will chime in accordingly.”

“A new group called Prosecutors Against Gun Violence has formed to find solutions to gun violence in the U.S.,” NPR reported Saturday, sharing an interview with the tax-funded public employees behind the effort. “NPR’s Arun Rath speaks with attorneys and co-chairs Cyrus Vance Jr. and Mike Feuer.”

“This fall marks the launch of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence, an independent, non-partisan coalition working toward prosecutorial and policy solutions to the national public emergency of gun violence,” the group says about itself before announcing a Tuesday and Wednesday “summit” in Atlanta. “Our growing coalition includes 23 prosecutors of varied political backgrounds, representing diverse jurisdictions throughout the United States.

“We can augment the enforcement of existing federal law,” the group asserts, revealing a game plan framework. “We can export state and local rules that are working to other states and localities.

“Prosecutors, by and large, are not ideologues,” PAGV insists. “We protect and we serve.”

That’s demonstrably false as far as the group’s front men are concerned. Feuer is a veteran citizen disarmament zealot, as documented for years on The War on Guns blog. For his part, Vance is an award-winning anti-gunner. And rather than “find[ing] solutions to gun violence,” all the group’s efforts will do is give more advantages to criminal predators at the expense of those PAGV claims it works for.

The main event at the gathering in Atlanta was Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords and co-founder of a national “gun control” group. Kelly’s discussion, per the Associated Press, focused not on prosecuting violent criminals, but rather, on “the need … to counter the powerful gun lobby.”

“Documents obtained through a lawsuit recently issued against the City of Phoenix by government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal a weapon from the Department of Justice’s Operation Fast and Furious was used to injure two people in a 2013 gang-style assault on an apartment complex. When the incident occurred and during investigation afterward, police worked with federal law enforcement agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency in the case, raising suspicions the assault wasn’t simply a typical, local gang shootout and prompted questions about the details of where the weapons that were used came from.

“Thanks to our lawsuit, Congress has been able to confirm what Judicial Watch already reported – that a Fast and Furious weapon was used in yet another violent crime that terrorized and injured residents of Phoenix,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Our lawsuit against Phoenix exposed how the Obama cover-up of Fast and Furious is ongoing. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is a mess. It has endangered the public and is engaged in an ongoing cover-up of its insanely reckless Fast and Furious gun-running operation”

“Assistant Attorney General James Cole, who played a large role in the cover-up of Operation Fast and Furious, announced his resignation from DOJ today.”

This one could end up setting precedent so that the corpse of engineers has to lift their unconstitutional ban on firearms…

“DENVER, CO.  An Idaho woman who is barred from carrying a functional firearm for self-defense when she visits federal recreational facilities prevailed today with the ruling of an Idaho federal district court that the federal government ban on firearms violates the Second Amendment.  Elizabeth E. Morris of Nez Perce County is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, regularly carries a concealed weapon, and often seeks to recreate on lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Because Corps of Engineers regulations ban functional firearms, even while camped in tents, Ms. Morris is subject to criminal prosecution if she attempts to exercise her Second Amendment rights.  Alan C. Baker, a firearms instructor and a resident of Idaho’s Latah County, is a co-plaintiff in the suit, which was filed in August 2013 in Idaho federal district court.  The Corps of Engineers did not respond to requests from attorneys for Ms. Morris and Mr. Baker, Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), seeking an exemption from its firearm ban, a ban that has not changed since the landmark Heller ruling.

“We are delighted the court’s ruled that, ‘The regulation banning the use of handguns on Corps’ property by law-abiding citizens for self-defense purposes violates the Second Amendment,’” said William Perry Pendley.”
