Communist regimes always disarm the people. They must do this in order to crush the people under their evil schemes. And, they lie about it, about what they’re doing and why, but the end result is always the same—millions of disarmed dead people. If you think it can’t happen here, then you’re only fooling yourself.
If we have a God-given right to life and liberty, and we do, then it stands that we also have a God-given right to defend our lives and liberty against those who would try to take them from us. Our Founding Fathers knew this, and they also knew that the sinful nature of man includes a lust for power over others. They knew that without an armed citizenry, power-lusting men would eventually impose tyranny on the American people. We are now there.
By the time this column is published, the United States Senate may have already voted on cloture for the lawless gun control measures the Democrats have created and some Republicans have approved. I hope this is not the case. I hope the few conservatives in the Senate will filibuster this wicked gun control nonsense.
This is not about public safety! This is about control of the people, so that the communists who run our federal government can finally fully impose their anti-American, anti-freedom agenda on the American people! These liars, these lawless Democrats, and any despicable Republicans who go along with them, are not telling the truth about their intentions. They know darned well that their unconstitutional actions will do nothing to stop criminals from killing with guns. They are not seriously targeting criminals; otherwise Chicago and Detroit would not be the deadly, violent cesspools they are. These out-of-control politicians are targeting lawful American gun owners so that we will eventually be unable to defend ourselves against their tyranny!
Despite the many decades of extra-constitutional behavior by our federal government, it remains that the Constitution gives the federal government no authority whatsoever to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms. If there are nutcases among us who should not have guns, then they should be dealt with properly by their families and the states. Because there are homicidal maniacs among us in no way justifies working to disarm the rest of the people. This is utter insanity!
As retired attorney and constitutional scholar, Publius Huldah, wrote in her paper titled, “Gun Control, the Dick Act of 1902, Bills of Attainder & Ex Post Facto Laws”:
Of course we have the God-given right to keep and bear arms, to self-defense, etc... Our Declaration of Independence (2nd para) recognizes that our Rights come from God and are unalienable.
The 2nd Amendment to our federal Constitution recognizes that this God-given right to keep and bear arms is to be free from any interference WHATSOEVER from the federal government.
Our Framers were all for an armed American People – they understood that arms are our ultimate defense in the event the federal government oversteps its bounds. See, e.g., what James Madison, Father of Our Constitution, writes in the second half of Federalist Paper No. 46! The reason the Citizens – the Militia – are armed is to defend ourselves, our families, our neighborhoods, communities, and States from an overreaching, tyrannical federal government.
Accordingly, the federal government is nowhere in the Constitution granted authority to abridge, restrict, or infringe, in any fashion whatsoever, guns, ammunition, etc. Thus, ALL such restrictive laws made by Congress, and ALL regulations made by the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco (ATF), are unconstitutional as outside the scope of the powers granted to Congress and to the Executive Branch by our Constitution. Restriction of arms and ammunition is NOT one of the “enumerated powers” delegated to Congress or the Executive Branch.
Furthermore, all pretended regulations made by the ATF are also unconstitutional as in violation of Art. I, Sec. 1, U.S. Constitution, which vests ALL legislative powers granted by the Constitution in CONGRESS. Executive agencies have no lawful authority whatsoever to make rules or regulations of general application to The People!
The bottom line is that all gun control measures being pushed by Congress are illegal. If the Constitution is clear on anything, it’s clear on this, and the only remedy at this late point is a filibuster to stop the unconstitutional legislation from moving forward.
The despicable lies these politicians are using to sell their lawless gun control make me sick. The way these dirt bags parade parents and family members of little children killed by demon-possessed freaks who happen to use guns is reprehensible. That any of these parents would be deceived enough to believe that even more illegal gun laws would stop maniacs from killing with guns is pathetic.
Again, this is not about stopping gun violence! This is only about control of the American people by a communist regime hell-bent on squashing the unprecedented freedoms of this once-great nation.
There are people who have lived under murderous, communist regimes who know full-well where gun control leads. One such man, who fled communist Cuba, spoke before a gun control hearing in Salem, Oregon. Watching his brief testimony brought tears to my eyes and broke my heart. He had a chilling warning for the junior tyrants here in theUnited States:
Pointing at the lawmakers arguing for stricter gun control, [Manuel Martinez] said:
“I’ve been through it. I’ve been there. You people don’t know what freedom is because you never lost it! You haven’t been tortured. You haven’t been [sic] assassinations. You haven’t been — mothers begging for the life of their son not to be killed because the only reason they want is to be free. And they killed the mothers, and they killed the son.”
“If we keep tangling with the Second Amendment, we are open the same way that Cuba was open for Communism,” he said, noting that “China, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Venezuela, on and on” have fallen into the same trap.
“A dictatorial regime will destroy this country, in the same way that it destroyed those ones that I mentioned to you,” he asserted.
Martinez went further: “Gun control do not protect anybody. Don’t protect the citizens; don’t protect the people. The only reason for gun control is for the government to be protected from the citizens,” he said. “In that way the government can…manipulate the people and subjugate them.”
God bless his heart. I cannot imagine how distressing it must be for people like Mr. Martinez, who have lived under murderous, communist regimes and fled, only to see their adopted country walking in the very same footsteps as the hell holes they escaped. It makes me sick.
STOP IT, SENATE! Cease and desist your vile, “bipartisan” efforts, born in the pit of Hell, to pour tyranny on the United States! Step off our necks with your jackboots! Stand down to your proper places, you power-engorged, commie lunatics, and leave our guns alone!
We will not be disarmed!
Gun control is about control. Always has been, always will be. Instead of enhancing a background check system that won’t work, why don’t they prosecute the 160K ++ people that lied on the purchase form? Enforce the laws you have before you make more.
They won’t listen to us. We could melt the switch board and they will still move forward. The Rats will claim victory and the Pubs will say “we stopped the worse part of the bill!” and we will all be screwed.

Everybody in Congress is playing a game. The Dems are trying to prove to their rabid base that they’re paying attention. I think (hope) that the Republicans are allowing the issue to get to the floor so that the Dems in Blue states, who are up for election in ‘14, will be forced to vote on it. A Dem/blue vote for in a state where there aren’t enough rabid liberals will cause them to lose. A Dem/blue vote against may cause them to have a primary challenge that will greatly improve the chances a seat will fall to a Republican.
On the sidelines all we can do is wait for our chance to vote again. We’re in it for the short game. A politician is in it for the long game. Unfortunately, some of them are in for too long, like RINOs.
All there is are words and more words, rhetoric and more rhetoric...words and rhetoric will not stop anything anymore.
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
I can hear it, but I don’t see anything, but words on a page.
The NRA claims to be our champion, but supported a boatload of demarcates in 2010, we reap what they sowed.
Just like every other column in the world--words on a page. What would you suggest? Armed insurrection?
Sadly there will always be enough RINO’s to help advance the leftist agenda. At some point the only option on the table will be the 1776 solution.
I have given up hope on the pubs doing anything smart.
