ALERT: Would You Sound The Alarm?

A Preview of our column in "Shotgun News":

Common Sense

Would You Sound The Alarm?

By Aaron Zelman
Executive Director
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership

Suppose police state policies were obviously taking root in your
country -- would you sound the alarm? Or would you delay...

Is there any regret that stings worse than "If only I had said
something, done something, to prevent this horror?".

Every person on Earth needs to confront these questions. In the
20th Century, 170 million civilians were murdered by their own
governments. These mass murders became possible only after a
step-by-step series of laws, attitudes and policies took effect.
When the people fail to spot the ominous signs early, then
nations descend into socialist drudgery or systematic brutality.
Once police state policies take root, it usually takes violence
and bloodshed to remove them.

America is steadily becoming less free. For decades, the federal
government has steadily increased its direct control over
individuals.

Gun owners see this first hand, at both the state and federal
level. Buying a gun retail used to be easy; now it often involves
detailed paperwork, waiting periods, and monthly purchase limits.
Guns and ammo that were legal are now banned. The FBI and BATF
maintain national databases of gun owners. Concealed-carry permits
are available, but only after a criminal investigation,
fingerprinting, mandatory training, etc. Federal felony
prosecutions await paperwork violators, and those who accidentally
have a gun in the wrong place. Next they'll close the gun shows.

The current Administration has done nothing to roll back the
unconstitutional gun laws, the monstrous welfare state, or the
private property confiscations. Instead, we are seeing more
surveillance, broader federal police powers, and huge databases
to track citizens.

So: Is America Becoming A Police State?

Can You See The Signs?

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack and war in Iraq have
distracted many Americans from their on-going duty to scrutinize
government actions. News about those huge events has glutted the
media and captured most commentators.

Our new booklet comes at a critical time. It's called "Is America
Becoming A Police State?"

Governments always gain power during times of crisis. This new
booklet stands up against the stampede to say: STOP! Our
Constitution remains the law, even in wartime. Our Bill of Rights
applies every day in every year, regardless of worries or wars.

Imagine the sick irony if our military men and women overseas
return to a nation less free than when they left. How will we
benefit if we liberate Iraq but gut the principles of liberty
in our own land?

This new booklet helps keep the home fires of freedom burning.
It sounds the alarm about police state ideas and policies that
threaten to bury our way of life, such as how:

  * Governments use a "crisis" to enact broad
    laws that diminish freedom for everyone

  * Tax-funded schools teach obedience and
    conformity to politically-correct, big-
    government ideology

  * Citizens are encouraged to spy on their
    fellows and report to federal authorities

  * Individual rights to privacy are being
    erased in the name of "national security"

  * The right to own and use weapons poses a
    threat to people-controlling bureaucrats -
    and how that right may be regulated out of
    existence.

Ever had the nagging feeling that there was something wrong with
a new proposal, law, or policy ... that it strikes you as
fundamentally wrong but you can't exactly say why? Chances are
that you were sensing a loss of liberty. The government schools
never teach people how to evaluate a law to see whether it
destroys liberty.

In just 24 easy-reading pages, this new booklet does that job.
Using the illustrated-style format and the light touch of humor,
"Is America Becoming A Police State?" rapidly brings people up
to speed. Its message can open eyes to see the signs of an
oncoming police state.
 
Perfect for readers ages 12 to 92, this new booklet provides key
points from our latest book, "The State vs. The People," which
delivers the facts you need to understand -- and to effectively
fight against -- police state policies in America or elsewhere
in the world.

Ring the Liberty Bell!

Wake up fellow Americans by handing out this booklet (while it
is still legal). Buy a bundle of 50 booklets ($20), and get "The
State vs. The People" ($19.95) for only $9.95 more. Buy a bundle
of 100 booklets ($38), and get that powerful 517-page book for
only $4.95 more. All prices include postage.

You can make a difference by distributing just 50 or 100 of these
booklets. Hand them out at gun club meetings or gun shows. Help
return America to a Bill of Rights culture -- and drive away a
police state.

Gun owners see this first hand, at both the state and federal
level. Buying a gun retail used to be easy; now it often involves
detailed paperwork, waiting periods, and monthly purchase limits.
Guns and ammo that were legal are now banned. The FBI and BATF
maintain national databases of gun owners. Concealed-carry permits
are available, but only after a criminal investigation,
fingerprinting, mandatory training, etc. Federal felony
prosecutions await paperwork violators, and those who accidentally

With a congressional vote and stroke of the pen millions of innocent people are turned into criminals.

How is it that people and society in general have prospered and increased their well being for decades yet the politicians and bureaucrats say we must have another 3,000 laws and regulations each year... That without them people and society face "disaster". People and society have done quite well without next years 3,000 new federal laws and regulations. Why all of a sudden can people and society not continue to do quite well without them? The fact is, they'd be better off without 99% of them.

So who really benefits from 3,000 new laws and regulations each year? -- not to mention state laws and regulations. Politicians and bureaucrats. They create boogieman problems and with a complicit media towing their boogieman problems cast a net of false fear and unwarranted despair in people.

Quite literally, they create problems where none exist. They're sick in that they chose to frighten people and foist false-despair on them and do that to collect their unearned paychecks. Their job security is predicated on deceiving as many people as possible.

Voting for the lesser of evils always begets evil. Yet thank goodness George Bush is President and not Al Gore. President Bush understands that his primary job is to protect Americans from terrorists and those that assist them.

Wake up! Politic is not the solution -- politics is the problem.

Who are the producers?
Who are the parasites?
Praise the value producers --
ostracizing the parasitical value destroyers.

Thanks- I greatly appreciate your comments.

It can't be stressed enough the importance of identifying who the real villains are and more importantly, who the real benefactors are. Both are in plain sight. Albeit the villains have usurped the power of the individual via all manner of collectivism. Expose them for their true colors.
