This Is What ‘Honoring The Oath’ Means

I took an oath many years ago to protect the Constitution.  That oath is one reason why I do what I do here. I took an oath when I married my wife and even though we have had hard times, I still honor that oath. To me, my word is the most important thing I have. So, when I see something like this, I can appreciate it. For those of you that are pushing for removal of weapons which basically infringe on my Second Amendment rights, you are forcing me to honor my oath, which includes protecting the Second Amendment.

This guy seems to be doing the same, except he is an official (I’m not). We need more of him to step up and say it out loud.

“I will take my uniform off and I will stand with freedom before I stand with tyrannical thugs.”

January 24, 2013 in Gilberton Pennsylvania, The Police Chief Mark Kessler said he has drawn the line in the sand, and will stand with Freedom Over Tyranny as he and the city passed a resolution unanimously that says that will not comply or enforce any new laws infringing on the 2nd amendment.

There are several examples of Presidents that are completely opposed to King Soetero’s Marxist dedication to the elimination through any means of the Second Amendment.

What’s The Real Agenda Regarding Sandy Hook?

I wrote the following to friends in an email and thought I’d also ask readers here what they think about my “gut feeling”:

Whenever I get these nagging “gut feelings” I know that my intuition is about to reveal something of truth. I am having one regarding all of this Sandy Hook stuff (and I hope you can help me sort it out).

There is obviously something very awry with the story. We’ve seen the inconsistencies in Posen’s interviews, in the fake family actors (or whatever is wrong with them), the whacky Medical Examiner, the guns found in the school (then in the car), the armed swat team member from a different town caught in the woods (running away, instead of “catching murderers”). It seems all to blatant. Too choreographed.

But why? Why would the government and media do such as this… be so loose with facts… intentionally causing disinformation? Why would all the disinfo specialists like Alex Jones be screaming about the 2nd Amendment, saying things on National TV about another “Revolution”?

I can think of a couple of reasons that actually go hand-in-hand.

1) I believe that we are about to undergo serious financial problems here in the states, including Austerity measures to an extent that the very poorest people up thru those left in the middle class are about to see what real poverty and hunger is. It appears to me that as we slide into that misery, the PTB need a major diversion.

2) It appears that this intentional mish mash of bullshit about these “murders” is bringing about a show down between those liberty minded “truthers” and those who trust and support the government.

What if?

What if the demonization of Constitution supporters is simply a catalyst of the Divide and Conquer strategy we all know is part of the way to bring full control to our betters (the Jews and their sayanim)? What if they realize that this is the ultimate division and that the scare tactics being employed (and supported by that loud mouth sayanim, Alex Jones and the like) is simply a means to bring about some type of Civil War. Scaring the MSM masses into thinking preppers and liberty minded truthers are to be feared even more than any government issue? Until they INSIST that the government stop us?

People screaming about armed insurrection is a detriment to the cause of liberty and only used as THE last resort. Hence my post about contacting local reps and utilizing one of the last civilized methods to stop it.

What about all the character assassinations of the Founding Fathers and their motive on the likes of the History Channel? What about all the negative stuff on Discovery, et al, regarding Preppers and Conspiracy Theorists? Bil Maher, Al Sharpton, Piers Morgan, and all the other MSM sayanim coming out attacking/belittling anyone who discusses state’s rights, the Sheriffs standing up, and also using maniacs like AJ to push the “crazy” agenda?

The result has been to push citizens, especially the 2nd Amendment supporters (like myself), into buying guns. A LOT OF GUNS.

It seems to me that these maniacs are pushing for an armed confrontation with the sole reason to be a total crackdown, so to make it easy for the implementation of the Jewish/Marxist? agenda.

What do you think?

What Obama Should Have Said (But Didn’t) About Guns

Forgive my redneck voice, but I felt Jon Rapopport’s article addresses Mr Obama’s gun grab perfectly. So much so, that I felt it should be read aloud and a video made for YouTube.

This Is What I Want Obama To Say About Guns

Because he didn’t say these things (not that I felt he would), it is now time for our Congressmen to show if they support their constituency or a tyrannical government’s dictate by decree. If they cannot stand up and swat this down, then it is time for them to go and real Americans be elected in their place (not that I believe even they will stand up). They have given me no reason to believe they actually care about the Constitution or their oath to protect it. Now is the time to prove me wrong (Marsha Blackburn).

If you, as a participant at this little blog, ever felt the need to contact your elected official, now is the time.

Men like Texas Representative Steve Stockman need to be supported when they say:

“The White House’s recent announcement they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic.”

“I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.” (Emphasis mine)

I hope he means it, for now is not the time for grandstanding. Even Senator Rand Paul claims he will fight it (I just hope that he isn’t following in his dad;s grandstanding footsteps). This isn’t time for a show, but for real men and women to step up.

I would also beseech you to contact other state reps that have shown that they intend to fight this from a state’s rights level and encourage them to go forward. Joe Carr, the TN State Rep of the 48th District has announced his submission of HB42, a bill criminalizing actions by the Feds for denying 2nd Amendment rights to me and my fellow Tennesseans. I need my Rep to join him (and every other to co-sign and vote for this). You must all stand together and tell them this ain’t going to fly in Tennessee.

Joe Carr Announces Submission of HB42 Criminalizing Feds for Denying 2nd Amendment Right to Tennesseans

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 16, 2013

State Representative Joe Carr 48^TH Legislative District

Lascassas, TN.  State Representative Joe Carr, from Tennessee’s 48th District filed legislation Tuesday, House Bill 0042, that would charge any Federal agent with a Class A Misdemeanor for enforcing or attempting to enforce a federal law, statute, rule, regulation or executive order that bans, restricts or requires the registration of any semi automatic firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition.

“In light of recent comments and actions taken by President Obama and Vice President Biden, I believe it is necessary that Tennessee proactively promote, maintain and defend Tennessee’s sovereignty guaranteed to it in the 10^th Amendment of the Constitution. Additionally this most blatant assault on the 2^nd Amendment by the Obama Administration is a systematic effort to disarm the law biding citizens of the United States. The 2^nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights which was intended to protect the individual and the states from the tyranny of government,” stated Representative Carr.

Carr also said, “The 2nd Amendment is not meant just for hunters, it specifically states that ‘A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed’, therefore, the Federal government shall not through law or executive order infringe upon our Constitutional-given rights as citizens of the United States and the Great State of Tennessee.”

Recently, Carr announced the formation of the 10th Amendment Caucus, a group he co-founded with State Representative Judd Matheny from Tennessee’s 47th District. The Caucus will be focused on advancing the Constitutional requirement for states to maintain, promote and defend the 10th Amendment. Additionally, Carr is the architect and author of almost all Illegal Immigration laws in Tennessee. Due to his efforts, Tennessee has some of the strongest enforceable immigration laws in the United States.

For more information please contact Representative Joe Carr at 615-741-2180 or visit http://www.JoeCarr48.com

Joe,

Now is the time to show us if you are real, or not. The rest of you, including Vance Dennis, we are watching and waiting to see if you honor your word (oath) and the Constitution. Vance is new and hasn’t initiated or co-sponsored anything. This would be the best way to start!

Marsha,

You can redeem yourself with me (at least, to a certain extent). Its time for you to honor your oath.

The NRA Doesn’t Speak For Me

The National Rifle Association is a lobbyist group. I am not a member. So, they do not speak for me. Even if we agreed on every issue, they do not speak for me or represent me in any way. I can speak for myself.

But if I did need someone to represent me regarding the issue of guns, I think I will stick with the ones who knew best… the founders of this country. They would include my ancestors, since I can trace my roots back to before this was an independent country. You see, I have been a member of the Sons Of The American Revolution via my father’s family, who arrived here from England and Scotland in or around 1745. I have records of many relatives who were land owners in both Craven County, NC and eventually their children moved to Charleston, SC. Many of these men signed up for the Revolutionary War (fighting with Col Pinckney of the 1st SC Regiment and others in the 4th SC Regiment), and many died fighting in battle.

These family members knew about weapons and in some cases were instrumental in forming the rationale for the Second Amendment. They understood tyrannical leaders. They knew that the only way to stop such force and subjugation was to be armed and to be armed as well as those “government” lackeys were.

My family history also extends to those who fought and died in the Civil War. Bunches of them. They, too, understood tyranny. They, too, knew that the ONLY way to thwart the tyranny from the “north” was to own firearms and use them when necessary.

When I consider the NRA, I think of them like I do other lobbyist groups. I understand that they can make MONEY. That, as with every other lobby, there are motives set that have nothing to do with the Second Amendment (no matter how much they shout it… and, of course, I agree with). But never forget that MONEY is ALWAYS a Lobby’s motive. Does that make them wrong entirely (or even slightly)? No. Just like any other entity that tries to make money, they will use whatever information they can to further their agenda of money-making. So, at times, I will have a mutually agreeing rationale. The only difference is that I am NOT out to make money from my God-granted right at protection from a tyrannical government (just like the one we have here in the US).

So, as far as I am concerned, I look to the very ones who “invented” the Second Amendment and ask, “what did they have in mind?”. To the contrary of Piers Morgan’s (an Englishmen who has a talk show here after leaving his own country, ostensibly evading investigations into his criminal participation in phone hacking and dirty journalism) idiotic questioning of the loud-mouth,  Alex Jones,  wondering if he feared his government becoming tyrannical, our Founders did, indeed, have this concern.

And so do I.

History is replete with such government action. The Holomodor is a prime example. Without the deliberate gun confiscation of the Ukrainians, such a thing could have never happened. Not only were the Ukrainians starved to death to the tune of over 10,000,000, (some say 30,000,000) the Jews of the Soviet Union who served Stalin also killed MILLIONS of others (some claim 20,000,000 or more).

Turkey enacted gun confiscation and MILLIONS of Armenians were slaughtered.

China, Guatemala, Uganda, Cambodia… MILLIONS more slaughtered.

But this isn’t just about tyrannical governments murdering the dissidents, everywhere guns are taken, violent crime and murders go up (this is true of Australia and England… which is why Piers must lie). But that really isn’t what the Second Amendment addresses.

The Founders of this country made it very clear what it was about. You can even find what they meant in a Jewish controlled outlet, like wiki-answers, by simply reading in their letters and other publications the purpose of an armed citizenry:

Thomas Jefferson: “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” (T. Jefferson papers, 334, C.J. Boyd, Ed. 1950)

Thomas Jefferson: “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.” (Thomas Jefferson to James Madison)

Thomas Jefferson: “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes. Such laws only make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assassins; they serve to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (1764 Letter and speech from T. Jefferson quoting with approval an essay by Cesare Beccari)

John Adams: “Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self defense.” (A defense of the Constitution of the US)

Samual Adams: “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” (Convention of the Commonwealth of Mass., 86-87, date still being sought)

George Washington: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth (and) keystone… the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable… more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference .When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour.” (Address to 1st session of Congress)

George Washington: “A free people ought to be armed.” (Jan 14 1790, Boston Independent Chronicle.)

George Mason: “To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” (3 Elliot, Debates at 380)

Noah Webster: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe.” (1787, Pamphlets on the Constitution of the US)

James Madison: “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose rulers are afraid to trust them with arms.” (Federalist Paper #46)

Patrick Henry: “The people have a right to keep and bear arms.” (Elliott, Debates at 185)

Richard Henry Lee: “To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…” (Richard Henry Lee writing in Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic, 1787-1788).

Alexander Hamilton: “The best we can help for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed” (The Federalist Papers at 184-8)

And that is barely scratching the surface.

But this really is deeper than just gun confiscation. We can already see that ammunition is extremely hard to find (I wrote about Wal-Mart’s shelves and have warned several times that the easiest way to make our weapons ineffective is to stop us from being able to buy bullets). And that is exactly how it got started for my early relatives here in the US.

Washington’s Blog featured the following article (just a portion is shown here). Read the entire thing here.

The American Revolution against British Gun Control

This Article reviews the British gun control program that precipitated the American Revolution: the 1774 import ban on firearms and gunpowder; the 1774-75 confiscations of firearms and gunpowder; and the use of violence to effectuate the confiscations. It was these events that changed a situation of political tension into a shooting war. Each of these British abuses provides insights into the scope of the modern Second Amendment.

Furious at the December 1773 Boston Tea Party, Parliament in 1774 passed the Coercive Acts. The particular provisions of the Coercive Acts were offensive to Americans, but it was the possibility that the British might deploy the army to enforce them that primed many colonists for armed resistance. The Patriots of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, resolved: “That in the event of Great Britain attempting to force unjust laws upon us by the strength of arms, our cause we leave to heaven and our rifles.” A South Carolina newspaper essay, reprinted in Virginia, urged that any law that had to be enforced by the military was necessarily illegitimate.

The Royal Governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, had forbidden town meetings from taking place more than once a year. When he dispatched the Redcoats to break up an illegal town meeting in Salem, 3000 armed Americans appeared in response, and the British retreated. Gage’s aide John Andrews explained that everyone in the area aged 16 years or older owned a gun and plenty of gunpowder.

Military rule would be difficult to impose on an armed populace. Gage had only 2,000 troops in Boston. There were thousands of armed men in Boston alone, and more in the surrounding area. One response to the problem was to deprive the Americans of gunpowder.

Even this country has a history that includes an attempt to disarm the citizenry. But, thankfully, our Fathers had the frame of mind to understand what was going on and decided to fight back. It is bred into us (at least the ones who are not TV junkies or have fallen for the same type of rhetoric that just a few of the early pawns of the King fell for). Just one year before our Declaration, our Forefathers made a stand:

On July 6, 1775, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms, written by Thomas Jefferson and the great Pennsylvania lawyer John Dickinson. Among the grievances were General Gage’s efforts to disarm the people of Lexington, Concord, and Boston.

Two days later, the Continental Congress sent an open letter to the people of Great Britain warning that “men trained to arms from their Infancy, and animated by the Love of Liberty, will afford neither a cheap or easy conquest.”

So, don’t tell me that we don’t have a history or that “things change”. Tyranny doesn’t change. Grasps of power are always the same.

Just like my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfathers and all their children, I  was “trained to arms from (my) infancy, and animated by the Love of Liberty”. This hasn’t changed. And I don’t need any damned lobby group to speak that for me.

Granny Get Your Gun! Its A New Year

Three days ago, my 93 year old Granny (she lives alone) awoke at her normal time to go fix the coffee and breakfast. As she was pouring the water, she looked over at her TV and noticed that two envelopes with thank you notes that she had signed, sealed and was to put in the post, were torn open. She thought, “Now, I know I sealed those things…”

So, she decided to look around. She went into her laundry room, where the back door is located (the old type with multiple panes of glass 6″ x 14″). Two of the panes had been removed to offer a very small opening. She knew something was up, so she went back through the house to see if someone was there or if anything else was missing.

She found that about $100 in cash was missing from her purse and another little stash she had. She saw that several pieces of jewelry was missing, including the high school graduation ring she had bought for herself (she came up in the Depression and few people even graduated high school, so this was very sentimental to her).

She noticed that whomever this was rifled through her paperwork/filing cabinet.

She also found that a safe that she kept underneath her dresser was missing (there was nothing inside of it, however).

This means that this old lady, who can’t hear, had some asshole hovering over her as she slept and actually took stuff from the room she was sleeping in. Can you imagine????

Sure, there are a few crooks around that make a living from theft, but generally in this area, one doesn’t have to worry too much about these things (at least under normal conditions). Not to mention the fact that most people around here have some sort of weapon for protection, so they think twice about going in on someone, if they know they are there.

It sounds like an inside job, but I’m not sure. The lady is fairly well known around here (and loved). So, it is conceivable that they knew she is deaf and thought they might get by with it. Of course, as small as the opening was for them to climb through, it could have been a 100# crack head. Who knows.

The next day she heard about Obama/Feinstein’s gun grab proposal (she voted for Obama) and pitched a fit. She has two pistols, but isn’t strong enough to pull the trigger, so she wants me to take her to buy some sort of weapon that she would be able to use.

Here’s the rub… in a conversation with Dr Doug this morning, he informed me that WalMart in MS is basically out of stock in ammo. They place two orders per year and with the ammo manufacturers filling DHS orders, they are not manufacturing the other ammo.

Now, what good is whatever weapon Granny wants, if she can’t get ammo?

The REAL Homeland Security

And, as I have said here several times over the past few years, the easiest way to control guns in America is to actually control who gets the ammo. For what good is a gun with no bullet? Especially in the hands of an 80# 93 yo.

We are buying all new security doors and calling ADT (or another security firm).

Maybe this was just a run-of-the-mill break in by crack heads. But according to the local paper, thefts are skyrocketing around here, so I am not convinced this is just another dope head.

People who are hungry are not near as likely to go in with the intent to harm someone. But what happens when people are STARVING?

Here’s the deal. The government is pushing to take our guns, even from the most vulnerable… like Granny. Think about what happens if the STARVING get so desperate that they see nothing to lose by going in and knocking out (or killing) the homeowner. Do you think you will be able to count on your local police to help you.

Take this into consideration when you do: there is only about 7 of 88 counties in MS that even have finger printing equipment and/or personnel trained on it. You think they could help you or even find the culprit later?

America: If you allow this to happen to those like me who hardly ever even touch my guns since I don’t hunt much any more, you are going to see massive death and destruction. And this has nothing to do with being concerned of the government. This is all a bad deal and you morons who think taking away the guns are in the best interest for this country are what will turn this place into the death and carnage I am talking about.

When the bad people are the only ones with guns, the rest of us are screwed.

Watch this video to see how one man dissects the issue by comparing real numbers of deaths and hard crime in America to the UK. It looks to me like the media, as usual, is filling us full of lies about the numbers, especially relating to the meme about guns being America’s problem.

The fact is that as weapons are taken away from the citizenry, these crimes go UP, not down. History shows this many times over.

Here is a very good example:

A Tale Of Two Theater Shootings (Differentiating Between Israeli Death Squads and A Crazy)

You’ve heard about the Batman “murders”, because it was the prescribed media gambit to muck up your mind and control your thoughts regarding guns and how you need your government to protect you from them. You may have noticed all the discrepancies and odd phenomena presented, much like the 911 storyline? To me, it is much like the recent Newton shootings… the story keeps changing, but mostly by disappearing witness reports, testimonies, etc. Then they replace it with the storyline needed to sway you into agreeing that you need to get rid of your own protection (guns) and believe that the government will take care of you. Ken O’Keefe does a great job of explaining the Sandy Hook false flag (h/t to JohnFriendsBlog) and the endgame planned for us Americans:

Now, we need to understand why this happening and who is behind it all. For decades, Jewish congresscriminals have been urgently implementing steady erosion of our Second Amendment. All one has to do is review “who” introduced and pushed all the legislation thru Congress to prove the point:

The truth is that it is actually much worse than these criminal Jews in Congress. Mike Harris of Veteran’s Today is saying outright that it was an Israeli False Flag murder event:

Damn. Israeli Death Squads operating on American soil. It makes a helluva lot more sense than any of the “news” reports that I have heard on TV.

Yes, it is all orchestrated. They have an agenda to take away guns from Americans. They have been after this for decades and they now feel like they have the “mandate” to start the grabs.

To prove the point about narrative to control us, just look to the other recent theater shooting in San Antonio.

It seems that some dude got pissed at his girlfriend for breaking up with him, so he went ballistic and decided he would kill her or someone. He left the restaurant and went next door to a theater and started shooting. Two people were hit. Then, an off-duty sheriff’s deputy pulled her gun and shot the guy, stopping the crazy.

Now, why haven’t you heard about this from the MSM? Because it doesn’t fit the storyline. Remember that the storyline is that guns are bad and we need to trust the government to protect us.

The reality is that bad people with guns are best stopped with good people with guns. This is why you will NOT hear of this incident on TV.

And the truth of the matter is that the vast majority of gun owners are “good guys”. If you disarm the “good guys”, then you are only left with the “bad guys” (mostly within our government),  holding guns.

Don’t fall for it. Fight for your rights.

Cop Comparisons

The bad ones:

The good ones:

My take:

It is not my practice, nor my desire to carry an armed weapon openly. However, I believe in the right of an individual to do so, especially in states where they enacted laws for the very reason that a citizen has every right to protect themselves from anyone intent upon harming them. There can be no doubt that a theft or assault will be far less likely if the culprit saw a weapon strapped on the side of their intended victim. I also have no problem with concealed carry laws, for the same reasons (a person has the right to protect themselves). If a criminal intends to hold a person up and they realize that there may be a potential that the person (or another person in a store, or whatever) may have something to protect themselves with, then I suggest that it is far less likely that they will even try.

The first cops obviously had trouble on their minds and apparently held a very high opinion of themselves, while also displaying a complete disregard for the Constitution. It would behoove someone that lives there to read and understand what that man’s oath says, and if it mentions something about protecting the Constitution (or something similar) that worthless jerk needs to lose his job.

In the second video, I would recommend that the video be used by policemen to train others in the correct approach.

I also want to say that the activist did an excellent job in explaining what he was doing and why. It truly is ignorance of the people that make this the issue it is.

I personally would not strap a weapon to my back and walk around like he did, for I can understand how some may be scared due to the propaganda. But, I understand those that do, especially when that is the purpose of their activism.

Can you Hear me now / Emergency Communication

How would you communicate with those around you should your cellphone quit working ?

Recently in the snooze we saw an example of government control over cellphone use. The San Francisco Police Department [SFPD] and the Bay Area Rapid Transit System [BART] admitted they shut off cell service to subway stations in San Francisco. They did this in an attempt to stop a planned protest by disabling the protesters ability to communicate on mobile phones.

What would you do in this situation in your area, should they decide to cut cell or regular phone service for some reason or another ?

Here are a few things you can do on the local level.

[1] – Remember the days gone by of CB radio. I personally have a Citizens Band radio although I dont use it much anymore, but should the need arise, it’s there and can reach out a couple of miles. Far enough to stay in touch with family and friends should the need arise.

[2] Along the same lines are the compact two way radios / walkie talkie. I have a set which at one time was used to talk to my sister at her house next door, and when I was snow skiing or hiking the trails with friends. Now granted this was only for basic communication, but it got the job done.

[3] Here is one not many think about. Do you have a notebook or laptop computer ? Is it able to connect to the internet wirelessly. If so, should the need arise, you could text or talk to others in your general area via an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer link. Much in the way your laptop communicates with a wireless router or switch, it could also communicate with other laptops or notebooks set up to do so wirelessly. I suppose this might work with cell phones as well.

Of course all of the above is provided you still have electricity. If it goes out, do you have other means to generate power for you devices? Batteries, generator, power converter/inverter.

All of the above would be good for short term. What or how would we communicate if down time lasted for months ? I guess verbally and with only those in you general / local area. Just something to think about.

B’Man’s Rights Watch: 2nd Amendment

image courtesy of Wikipedia

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

There are few inalienable rights more important than this one (although I believe that many actually work hand in hand to provide protections of the citizenry FROM a rogue government). As Wikipedia puts it:

The Bill of Rights is a series of limitations on the power of the United States federal government, protecting the natural rights of liberty and property including freedom of speech, a free press, free assembly, and free association, as well as the right to keep and bear arms.

The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. Each one initiated by Congress and then ratified by at least 3/4 of the states. In the case of the 2nd, the only real difference between Congress’ version and the ratified version is a couple of capital letter (which may or may not hold significance). Legaleze and certain rules in writing can mean totally different things. But that is beyond the scope of this writing.

It is apparent to me that the original authors and signatories understood that the citizenry needed a way to defend themselves, their homes and their state. To take away such a right is to put oneself, their family and their state in mortal jeopardy.

There are other countries that have taken away these rights (or never had them to begin with) and it is plain to see that it does not make people safer when they are relinquished, but to the contrary, makes them vulnerable to rogue agents both in government and criminal activities such as theft, assault and home invasions. Case in point is Australia:

Crime stats speak for themselves,  but in case you missed it, this is what happened to crime as a result of this ban on guns in Australia:

Armed Robberies have gone up 69%

Assaults involving guns up 28%

Gun murders up 19%

Home invasions up 21%

So, would it surprise you that our government would want to thwart the original Founding Fathers’ intent so that they can control the population’s last remaining source of stopping their rogue takeover which culminates in total iron-fisted control? Would it surprise you that they would lie and cheat to attempt to convince an ever-growing gullible Sheople that we need to take away the 2nd Amendment “for our own good”? Do you think that they would actually sell high power automatic weapons to other countries, ultimately disappearing into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels (to the tune of more money made selling weapons to Iraq or Afghanistan)? And do you think that they are killing two birds with one stone by empowering the drug cartels as a way to convince the Sheople that a continuation of a failed Drug War is needed “for our own good”?

To understand the depths they will stoop, let us look at some stunning facts about how many deaths occur from “noble” sources, such as health related deaths, compared to deaths caused by guns. There are far more deaths caused by or resulting from medical treatment or advice than from firearm deaths (homicides and suicides combined): medical related deaths range from 225,000 up to 284,000 depending on where you get the estimates. I’ll use the conservative numbers available.

First, firearm deaths:

Firearms deaths:
All firearm deaths: 30,694
Firearm homicides: 12,352
Firearm suicides: 17,002

If you do the math, you find: 12,352 + 17,002 = 29,354. 30,694 – 29,354 = 1,340 (the accidental deaths from firearms). Needless to say, the figure for accidental firearm deaths is probably much less than 30,694, no matter how you cut it.

Accidents with firearms are mostly categorized as negligent homicides.

But, to be clear, let’s break it down even further to make a point:

(DETAIL DATA FOR FIREARM DEATHS)

All firearm deaths
Number of deaths:30,694
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.4
Source: Deaths: Final Data for 2005, Table 18

Assault or Homicide
(Data are for the U.S.)

Number of emergency department visits for assault: 1.8 million
Source: National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2006 Emergency Department Summary, Table 13

Mortality
- All homicides
Number of deaths: 18,124
Deaths per 100,000 population: 6.1
Cause of death rank: 15
- Firearm homicides
Number of deaths: 12,352
Deaths per 100,000 population: 4.2

Suicide and Self-Inflicted Injury
(Data are for the U.S.)
Number of emergency department visits for self-inflicted injury: 594,000
Source: National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2006 Emergency Department Summary, Table 13

Mortality
All suicides
Number of deaths: 32,637
Deaths per 100,000 population: 11.0
Cause of death rank: 11

Firearm suicides
Number of deaths: 17,002
Deaths per 100,000 population: 5.7
Source and further information:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm

So, let us compare firearm deaths (intended or not, suicide or homicide or accidental) to other accidents or unintentional injuries:

Accidents or Unintentional Injuries
(Data are for the U.S.)
Number of emergency department visits for unintentional inujuries: 27.7 million
Source: National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2006 Emergency Department Summary, Table 13

Mortality
All unintentional injury deaths
Number of deaths: 117, 809
Deaths per 100,000 population: 39.7
Cause of death rank: 5

Motor vehicle traffic deaths
Number of deaths: 43,667
Deaths per 100,000 population: 14.7
Unintentional poisoning deaths
Number of deaths: 23,618
Deaths per 100,000 population: 8.0
Unintentional fall deaths
Number of deaths: 19,656
Deaths per 100,000 population: 6.6
Source: Deaths: Final Data for 2005, Tables B, 18″

No matter how you calculate the numbers, when you compare the firearm deaths of any nature to all other deaths we see quite a radical difference which suggests to me that we are being hoodwinked into believing we have a much bigger problem than we actually do.

What makes it even worse is when you look to the “noble” sources of death from the medical field’s ineptitude and knack for making mistakes. To understand, let us review what is termed Iatrogenesis at wikipedia:

The terms iatrogenesis and iatrogenic artifact refer to adverse effects or complications caused by or resulting from medical treatment or advice. In addition to harmful consequences of actions by physicians, iatrogenesis can also refer to actions by other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists, therapists, pharmacists, nurses, dentists, and others. Iatrogenisis is not restricted to conventional medicine and can also result from complementary and alternative medicine treatments.

In other words, medical mistakes and many other medical phenomena, such as: medical error; poor prescription handwriting; negligence; faulty procedures, techniques, information, or methods; prescription drug interaction; adverse effects of prescription drugs; over-use of drugs leading to antibiotic resistance in bacteria; nosocomial infection; blood transfusion; and others.

Wiki continues:

“Iatrogenesis is a major phenomenon, and a severe risk to patients. A study carried out in 1981 more than one-third of illnesses of patients in a university hospital were iatrogenic, nearly one in ten were considered major, and in 2% of the patients, the iatrogenic disorder ended in death. Complications were most strongly associated with exposure to drugs and medications. In another study, the main factors leading to problems were inadequate patient evaluation, lack of monitoring and follow-up, and failure to perform necessary tests.

But how bad are the numbers?

In the United State alone, recorded deaths per year (2000):
12,000—unnecessary surgery
7,000—medication errors in hospitals
20,000—other errors in hospitals
80,000—infections in hospitals
106,000—non-error, negative effects of drugs

Based on these figures, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. Also, there is a wide margin between these numbers of deaths and the next leading cause of death (cerebrovascular disease).

225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes. But you must understand that most of the data is derived from studies in hospitalized patients (what about the ones who died and never went to the hospital).

I can also point to an Institute of Medicine report entitled “To Err Is Human“, which points out JUST the mistakes, disregarding the other iatrogenic disorders that ended in death:

Health care in the United States is not as safe as it should be–and can be. At least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented, according to estimates from two major studies. Even using the lower estimate, preventable medical errors in hospitals exceed attributable deaths to such feared threats as motor-vehicle wrecks, breast cancer, and AIDS.

Do the math. See that medical procedures, medications, mistakes, etc far out weigh firearm deaths of ANY sort, yet you NEVER hear of banning them, nor will you ever hear of it. So, what does any thinking person see in this: that we are being lied to. That we are having information held from us, unless you dig like I have. Why? To take away more of our liberties and to keep the inept and criminal medical industry alive, ensuring political campaign money flowing to the criminals we elect.
