Congressional Democrats plan to introduce national gun buyback legislation for “assault weapons.”

The measure is titled, “Support Assault Firearm Elimination and Education of our (SAFER) Streets Act.” It will be put forward by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT).

According to The Hill, the measure will differ from local gun buybacks in that those turning in weapons will receive a tax break rather than cash.

DeLauro explained: “Assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense. There is no reason on earth, other than to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible, that anyone needs a gun designed for the battlefield.”

DeLauro did not note that M4 carbines–the AR-15 variant that is actually designed for the battlefield–operates in full auto or in three-round automatic bursts. The AR-15s sold to civilians are simply semi-automatic rifles that are difficult to shoot accurately if fired rapidly.

This is a mistake Democrats have made again and again since Adam Lanza’s attack on Sandy Hook Elementary. They fail to understand that the reason he was able to kill so many people was not because he stole and possessed an AR-15, but because his targets were unarmed. He chose to attack in a gun free zone for a reason.

But DeLauro and other Democrats are stuck in rut when it comes to trying to get rid of the AR-15, so they plan to offer “up to $2,000 in tax breaks” for those who turn them in.

She will be introducing the bill in conjunction with National Public Health Week.

Co-sponsors for DeLauro’s bill include “Reps. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), and David Cicilline (D-R.I.).”

For some of us, this cause is not a hobby.  It is not drum beating, or attention seeking.  It is not something we believe—it is something we are.  We could no more lay down and accept this tyranny than the blabbering sheep can rise to fight.  In the bottom of our souls, we know we were created for more than subjects in a kingdom, more than a commodity to be controlled and managed.  We were born free.

There are a hundred ways to speak of the fire that burns in the hearts of patriots in this nation. Those who are seeking those of like mind can see it, spreading like a wildfire across a parched forest. Those who do not understand it are afraid of it, for it signifies something they cannot grasp and do not have the intestinal fortitude to stomach.  Liberty for All (LFA III%), the hardcore patriot group in Washington State, may be the tip of the spear, but there are many others throughout this nation who have been in the trenches for decades.

There are those who dismiss us, who claim that standing the line is stupid or even dangerous.  They claim we are setting back the liberty movement, or that we don’t know what we’re doing.  We are crazy, we are arrogant, we are self-absorbed—or so the stories go. There are days it seems that there is no end to the accusations and the backbiting.  At times, I find myself attempting to defend that which needs no defending.  It is a difficult lesson to realize, but time spent defending this fight to those with no concept of its necessity is, quite simply, time wasted.

The truth is, I have seen the men and women who stand next to me.  I have looked in their eyes and seen their hearts.  They are not crazy, and they are not fools.  There is a kind of soul that already knows how this ends.  There is a kind of heart that sees the cost before it comes, and offers to pay it even still.  For some of us, this cause is not a hobby.  It is not drum beating, or attention seeking.  It is not something we believe—it is something we are.  We could no more lay down and accept this tyranny than the blabbering sheep can rise to fight.  In the bottom of our souls, we know we were created for more than subjects in a kingdom, more than a commodity to be controlled and managed.  We were born free.

We were born to fight.

The naysayers will always be there; the loyalists of our time will always seek to justify their inaction and even their blatant cowardice.  The fence sitters will always find a reason to stay settled where they are, constantly trying to figure out which side of the fence is more advantageous to be on at any given time.  Eventually, they too will be left without a place to sit.  Tyranny does not give special treatment to those who help its growth; soon enough even those who called for caution and denigrated us will have to recognize their own chains.

In the meantime, the patriots continue to stand.  We continue to push forward, to dare things not seen in this country in over 200 years.  We seek no glory, but we do demand liberty; its pursuit will not be stopped for anything.  For us, there is no other option.  Our Constitution unites us, and the truth that men are born to be free will bind us together in this fight, come what may.  We will stand with each other, and while every single day we pray that it never comes to violence, if it comes we will stand through that as well.  And if the sun rises on a day when we are asked to give our lives in the defense of this absolute truth, we will do so…without hesitation.

Even so, know this:  we will not go quietly.  We will not go easily.  We will go filthy and stained, with the blood of those whose appetite for our liberties pushed them past a line from which there is no coming back.  We will go with as many tyrants as we can take with us.

We will never shoot first; we will not cross the line into violence. Our creed does not make us monsters; it makes us defenders. But if we are pushed, we will fight, and we will fight until we are dead.  And in the wake of our deaths, others will rise and fight in our place, and eventually we will win.  Even in death, we will win, because death is always more desirable than slavery.

There are a hundred ways to say all of this; pretty words and glorious imagery that evoke emotions that most people have forgotten how to feel.  But when all is said and done, it can all be summed up in one rallying cry.  One basic concept that holds within it the promise to all tyrants that any attempt on our lives will result in the fight—and the end—of their own, for there will be no more free Ruby Ridge incidents, no more free Wacos, no more free bloodshed.  One simple statement that every patriot understands in the core of their very bones.

We will not comply.

We stand.

D.C. gives up total carry ban to focus on ways to deny permit applications

Thwarted by the courts from enforcing an outright ban, District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine will concentrate resources on defending laws designed to deny concealed carry permits, his office reported in a Wednesday press release. The legal strategy will now fall back to defending “may issue” laws requiring “good cause,” as determined by the District’s government.

“We need to focus our energies not on litigating old laws, but defending new ones that our leaders enacted in good faith to comply with court rulings while still protecting public safety,” Racine announced. “The Council enacted a law that sets a process by which individuals may apply for gun licenses, which has superseded the law at issue in Palmer v. District of Columbia. Going forward, our energies are best spent focusing on defending the current law. We are vigorously defending it in the district court, and we are confident that it will be upheld.”

The result of those “current laws” is that, as reported in January, eight people, or .00001 percent of the District’s residents had been permitted to carry a gun. Of all applications, which included non-residents, more had been denied than approved.

Racine’s public air of confidence will be tested as conflicts between courts leave an ultimate judicial ruling on “may issue” vs. “shall issue” concealed carry permits up in the air, while a movement in the states to adopt permitless “Constitutional carry” is growing. The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to Maryland’s “may issue” law in 2013, but state challenges to “shall issue” rulings before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California could force the High Court’s hand.

Also unclear is what effect the decision by Racine’s office will have on efforts in Congress to compel the district to loosen up on the infringements. With the administration arguing for “home rule” and with a seeming concession that still denies the right to bear arms to the vast majority of individuals who wish to exercise it, there is still much “good faith leadership” the Republican-dominated House and Senate could do to show gun owners they know who helped them attain their majorities.

Oregon lawmakers hear heated testimony on gun-control bill

Key point raised by one sheriff..

Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer responded the law will be impossible to enforce.

“I don’t have any idea how it’s going to be enforced. I will tell this committee I have no intention to enforce it,” Palmer said. “State law allows me to use discretion on misdemeanors and I plan to use it every step of the way,” he added.

My opinion follows story.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) – A heated debate over gun control in the Oregon Legislature on Wednesday drew relatives of people killed during an Oregon mall shooting, law enforcement officers and gun owners as Democratic lawmakers push a bill expanding background checks to cover private firearms sales.

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard two hours of public testimony on a proposal that would require gun buyers and sellers who aren’t related to appear in person before a licensed gun dealer who can run a background check through the Oregon State Police. Proponents say it would close a “loophole” that widened with the advent of Internet gun transactions.

“This bill will not take all the guns off the streets, it will not remove all the guns from the illegal buyers,” said Robert Yuille, whose wife Cindy was killed during a shooting at the Clackamas Town Center in December 2012 while she was Christmas shopping. “It will take some off. Hopefully it’ll take the one off that would have killed your wife or your daughter.”

Opponents said background checks are ineffective, difficult to enforce and disproportionally burden law abiding citizens. Dan Reid, a National Rifle Association representative, said most criminals acquire guns through ways that are already illegal, such as through theft and the black market. The gun used in the Clackamas shooting was stolen.

Keizer Republican Sen. Kim Thatcher asked how law enforcement officers would be able to police every private transaction, and Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer responded the law will be impossible to enforce.

“I don’t have any idea how it’s going to be enforced. I will tell this committee I have no intention to enforce it,” Palmer said. “State law allows me to use discretion on misdemeanors and I plan to use it every step of the way,” he added.

The state’s background check requirement already goes further than federal law, requiring them at gun shows.

The seller of a gun would face a misdemeanor for a first offense, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $6,250 fine. A second offense would be a felony, with a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Oregon law already prohibits giving a gun to minors, felons, people with recent convictions for violent behavior or those who have been found by court to have a mental illness.

Brady Campaign President Dan Gross said Oregon would be the sixth state since the Newtown school massacre to pass background checks on all gun sales.

Two previous attempts to require background checks for private sales have failed in the Oregon Legislature, but last year’s election saw Democrats increase their majority by two seats to 18-12 in the Senate. The wins were in part because of a push by a leading gun control group backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, which contributed $75,000 to Sen. Chuck Riley of Hillsboro, who defeated the Republican incumbent who opposed universal background checks.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the measure Thursday morning. If it passes, it could get a vote in the full Senate as soon as next week.

Bloomberg and co. are checking off states on their list one by one-this will be #6 if this bullshit is passed. There is no valid reason for this law,it will do exactly nothing to prevent “gun violence”-even county sheriff’s say it will be impossible to enforce-and at least one has testified that he has no plans of enforcing the law if it is passed. Gun owners in Oregon need to make it clear that they will not comply-if enough gun owners,in enough states simply refuse to comply-Blomberg et-al will stop trying to get similar garbage on state ballots-until they do stop,gun owners have to stand up speak out and fight back !    It’s  5-0.  Team Bloomberg/Shanon Watts and co 5,gun owners ZERO.                                                                                                                                                                 We must fight  back a lot harder than we have so far-the only state that has Patriots stepping up,and standing in opposition, no, defiance of this bullshit is Washington state-look to the gun owners of Washington state-to those few who stand every time this nonsense is in the news,or being voted on,or more such nonsense is being introduced-those who risked arrest,and even were arrested in one case-look  at what they are doing-follow their example…
They have the ‘nads to lead from the front-do you?
Resist,defy,stand in opposition,stand in defiance-tell those who would take the means to defend yourselves,your loved ones and your liberty from you that you will not bow down and submit to their draconian gun control schemes. The right to self-defense is a basic human right! The right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution,it is of such importance that the founders put it at #2 in the Bill of Rights.
Those who seek to take your right to keep and bear arms from you only seek power over you-they seek to control you and your loved ones.
They can not control an armed populace
The first thing every tyrant who rose to power in recent history did was disarm the citizenry,so that they were easier to control.
We must not allow that to happen here-we must not let those who seek power and control over us to disarm us-we must fight for our right to keep and bear arms-some of us may go to jail-that’s part of civil disobedience.
We need numbers,we need huge crowds at protests-if the stoned out of their gourds hippies and flower children could get large crowds in the 6o’s and 70’s…
then today’s 80-100 million gun owners should be able to have a huge turnout at every protest-every one-that’s what it takes-we need to have a huge crowd-a crowd bigger than the hippies had back when they were protesting the Vietnam war,we need crowds like there were during the height of the civil rights movement.
We need these huge crowds outside very statehouse in every state that Bloomberg and co. slime 
their way onto the ballot in. You know as well as I do that there are more gun owners than anti-gun zealots-lets start showing up-in force-at every event to protest any of this anti-gun asshattery.
Stand Up! Speak Out ! Fight Back !
Resist !
Defy !
Fight Back !
Do Not Submit !
Do Not Bow Down !

Private transfer gun owner registration bill fast-tracked in Oregon

Telling supporters “We are in a race” and asking them to “please act now,” Oregon Firearms Federation warned members Thursday that a bill requiring police background checks on private firearms transfers “is going to be fast-tracked through the Senate.” In response to that information, the grassroots group is imploring Beaver State gun owners to contact their representatives to urge them to oppose the bill.

The Bill in question is Senate Bill 941, being represented by proponents as merely a “background check” measure. That OFF responds by calling it a registration bill is hardly hyperbole. No less an authority than the U.S. Department of Justice, in a 2013 National Institute of Justice summary report on firearms violence prevention strategies, noted “Universal background checks … Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration…”

“The bill has a long list of co-sponsors including Val Hoyle who at one time seemed to be rational on this issue,” OFF continued. Concern there is especially relevant to gun owners, as many of them relied on her endorsement by the National Rifle Association, casting their votes and supporting her campaign accordingly under the assumption that she would support the Second Amendment.

To facilitate contacting representatives, OFF’s alert includes links to a prepared message form that can be used or adapted to send a message to any or all of them. The group also includes a link to the official state legislature website for detached gun owners who need to find out who their representatives are.

Inconvenient truths about Jones’ successor at ATF warrant investigation

“For those of us who do not live in the memory hole that shields this administration from any accountability, here are some relevant facts about Acting Director Brandon and his involvement in the Fast and Furious cover-up,” Mary C. Michel at American Thinker reminded readers Tuesday. Her thesis is that major news outlets have not told the public anywhere near enough about the man who will succeed outgoing Director B. Todd Jones, at least in an acting capacity unless and until confirmed.

Indeed. But that doesn’t mean everyone has turned a blind eye, only that the ones who haven’t have much less amplified voices that are easy for a deliberately indifferent media to ignore. Speaking from personal experience, I can assure you some of us have been banging pots and pans, but only with limited effect contained in a niche readership.

Still, I was told by an insider that this one resulted in some screaming over at HQ. And then of course there’s this, and this and this, and… (trust me, I could go on and on).

Take Away White Man’s Guns

Andrea Grimes, senior political reporter at the lefty women’s site RH Reality Check, sank to a disgusting new low Thursday by saying that guns should be confiscated only from white men.

“Suggestion: we don’t have to vaporize all the guns. Let’s just vaporize white men’s guns,” Grimes tweeted, linking to an article about Arizona shooter Ryan Giroux.

“White guys cannot be trusted to use guns responsibly. It is time to stop giving guns to white guys,” Grimes added. ”I mean, it’s time to stop giving guns to everybody, but we can start with the white guys.”

[ … ]

“As a bonus, we can collect their tears for research and resource purposes while they line up to surrender their weapons,” Grimes said.

Hahahahaha … is that the way you think this is going to go down, deary?  You’re going to pass a law to make our guns illegal, and we’re just going to line up to turn them in?  We’re going to cry while we do it?  You don’t get out much, do you?

The more likely scenario is this.  Against the advice of the police, you pass a law that makes our guns illegal.  The police have to enforce the confiscatory policies you learned in your idiotic sophomore collectivist classes in college.  Blood runs in the streets, women weep for being made widows, and children weep for being made fatherless.  The police curse you for making policies they have to implement while you sit perched on your elitist throne.  Civil war consumes the nation, the electrical grid goes down not to return for years, medicines are unavailable, and the economy has collapsed.  The things called the federal reserve and the stock market are but a distant memory of a different time that your children will never know except as told in fairy tales and stories.

You didn’t consider that possibility, did you?  You’d better.

B. Todd Jones will be resigning from his position as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and accepting private sector employment with the National Football League, gun dealer compliance and legal protection firm FFLGuard claimed in a Thursday advisory. The report, while as yet not corroborated, is consistent with information Gun Rights Examiner has been investigating, including by attempting earlier today to obtain confirmation from ATF.

Bullet Bans Ghost Guns “Smart Guns” Gun Laws on State Ballots and”Armor Piercing Ammo”

The anti-gun zealots are all torqued up as usual,but they’re all over the place,no single issue focus.

They’re just throwing shit against the wall to see if anything sticks.

They have their panties in a bunch over 80% lowers,M855/SS109 ammo,”smart guns” that only work if you have a watch like device on,and it’s battery isn’t dead,or some work by fingerprint scanner as well.

The first guy to offer to sell the so-called “smart guns” withdrew the offer to sell them due to backlash from pro-gun groups,because the sale of such “smart guns” would trigger a NJ law mandating that EVERY handgun sold in NJ be a “smart gun”.

The backlash was well deserved-if so-called “smart guns” are such a great idea,make it OPTIONAL,not mandatory,and we’ll see how many are sold.

The anti-gun zealots can not comprehend this-they think anything that in theory makes it so that only the gun’s owner can fire it is a great idea,and we should all be forced to own only this type of firearms.

What they do not understand is the technology can be removed in under 10 minutes with basic hand tools.

Sort of like the other “technology” the anti-gun left wants to make mandatory-microstamping.

The technology works by having the firing pin stamp a serial number on every fired shell casing-actually it would be on the primer-but that’s to much to expect the anti-gun zealots to understand.

Anyone with a file and 90 seconds can defeat microstamping technology,or if they’re a home gunsmith-they can just swap the firing pin for a new one without the “microstamp” engraved on it.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out-yet the anti-gun zealots still insist on requiring the “microstamping” technology.

Sort of like how they do not comprehend that M855/SS109 is NOT armor piercing ammo.

The ammo does not even meet BATFEIEIO’s own definition of armor piercing.

Never mind the fact that all centerfire rifle ammo can penetrate the soft body armor worn by law enforcement.

Yet the anti-gun Democrats are still trying to get M855/SS109 banned even after BATFEIEIO backed down due to overwhelming opposition from those of us who support the second amendment and gun rights.

The ban was/is nothing more than an effort to curtail the use of A-R platform rifles-ban one of the most popular,most inexpensive rounds-then keep banning more 5.56/.223 ammo because officer safety-and by their logic,people will stop using A-R’s.

Multiple people from the leftist anti-gun movement have suggested banning ammo,or taxing it such a high rate no one could afford it-except those promoting/advocating for such asshattery.

Most of them have armed bodyguards,live in gated communities,and can get a CCW permit in NYC-something us serfs an not do.

We also have Bloomberg and his minions getting anti-gun laws placed on state ballots,like I-594 in Washington state.

We have clueless idiots braying about “ghost guns” from 80% lowers-what they refuse to acknowledge is that it’s legal to make your own firearms.

They’re so freaked out by 80% lowers that a guy who’s a gunsmith,has a few machine tools or owns a machine shop can no longer work on the lowers-or let you use his machines to finish your own lower.

3D printing can now be done using metals-so their bullshit about not being allowed to use another persons mill or lathe is a moot point-we can just print up a 100% finished lower-and it will still be a “ghost gun”-and it’s still legal to make your own firearms.

Bloomberg’s minions have a list,and they’re checking off states one by one-yours could be next.

The anti-gun zealots keep on astroturfing,claiming that they have “grass roots support” for their nonsense.

Fake videos are gaining in popularity with the leftists who want you to be disarmed,so they can enact their version of utopia-where everything is rainbows,unicorns,puppies and butterflies,there’s no burning fossil fuels,no crime,no violence,and everything is powered by unicorn farted happy gas.

You must be disarmed before the leftist anti-gun zealots can enact their utopia-only the state can have firearms-military and law enforcement-no guns for us right wing nutjobs.

They’re trying,and they’re never gonna stop.

Stand up

Speak out

Fake gun shop video raises questions about truth, compliance with laws

A video produced by States United Against Gun Violence purports to show a fake gun shop in New York City appealing to first-time buyers, who are then recorded on a hidden camera as a man behind the counter turns them against making a purchase by telling them how the firearm he hands them was used to take human life. As per standard practice, a well-financed Astroturf operation relying on slick professional illusion-casters is counted on to make up for lack of grassroots support.

So how did SUPGV get all these guns into NYC without active NYPD participation?

States United to Prevent Gun Violence-You Tube video screen shot

States United/Ceasefire USA is one of the groups behind the recent #ImUnloadng campaign, in which prohibited person Snoop Dogg tells all his fans that have 401Ks to not invest in gun companies because of all his “friends, family members and associates” who evidently make a regular practice out of shooting each other to death.

The first flag is raised when viewers are told the entire video setup is a lie. That won’t surprise anyone familiar with “progressive” anti-gunner practices, but the thing is, once someone admits they’re lying, how are we to trust anything they say?

Is it reasonable to believe that not one person recorded challenged the fraud behind the counter, told him off and walked out? Why is it the “first time customers” were all so receptive to the technique of being lied to that they swore off something they represented themselves as wanting for reasons as valid as protection and belief in the Second Amendment? If the monopoly of violence proponents are that persuasive, if all they need do is tell someone the gun they’re buying was used in a murder, why is it they’re not the ones with a five-million member advocacy organization? And it’s hard enough to believe even one person would be dumb enough to swallow the claim that a gun store carries and sells real “crime guns,” let alone to accept that every single one of the marks fell for it.
