Great find!

It's redundant to see these studies reveal what we already know, but the repetician of the facts is eventually going to be effective on the populace, which may swing more folks to the realization of how we need to keep and bear arms.

Yesterday, while shooting clays and plinking .22's with my friends in the mountains, we had a visit from the Los Angeles Sherrif's Dept. where they made us aware that we could not shoot in the National forest in California. I had checked the hunting restrictions at the beginning of dove season to make sure I could hunt in the mountains above the San Fernando Valley, and found that I could hunt birds with a shotgun, but no rifle hunting was allowed in the area. There are no signs posted to restrict hunting or shooting, so we are just supposed to know the restrictions. So I can hunt, I just can't shoot?

Anyway, the deputies were very pleasant, didn't cite us or even take our names, just wanted us to stop shooting. One of them went on to state that most LEOs are pro 2A and to keep writing our representatives, though it might not do any good. They reluctantly enforced the law. KUDOS to the LASD.

Well, Duh. Finally, some sanity is bubbling to the surface.

I specifically asked at a Forest Service location in Lake Tahoe and was told that there are no shooting restrictions in the El Dorado National Forest. Where did they claim that the restriction comes from? These lands are under federal control and are outside the National Park system.

"Today, over 68% of public land -- land belonging to the people of the United States -- the land in our National Parks, Preserves and Monuments, is designated as a United Nations World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve or both. Worse yet, United Nations' land designations, such as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites, currently take place without the approval of Congress and with no Congressional oversight. Nor are State and local officials, or even private landowners, usually consulted."

Outstanding summary of the difference between liberals and conservatives when it comes to defense!

[k2blader]

Bump.

[Vinnie]

Guess I should have added that I received this in an E-mail.

It is right on.

Restrictive firearm legislation has failed to reduce gun
violence in Australia, Canada, or Great Britain.

GUN CONTROL KILLS

bttt

It didn't do much to stop "gun violence" in Nazi Germany either.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL! Gun laws don't stop criminals - - my gun stops criminals.

The 9th Fiefdom rule will demonstrate that no individual right to keep and bear arms will make government officials safer.

When guns are outlawed, only their government will have guns.

It will no longer be your government because they will have effectively nullified your only ratified Constitution from which they claim their power.

Serfs up.

This image and the women and girls standing in line should be printed as handbills, distributed by the thousands in hundreds of cities and towns, every election.

This is all about control of us by the people in government.

Today I reread some of the shadow, uebergovernment's Executive Orders signed by XXX-42 to clean up ambiguities of the many other emergency powers since Woodrow Wilson and FDR.

The federal goveral government can "lawfully" CLAIM everything and everyone for its purposes upon such declaration. Hitler also had such laws, and used them. My copy of our ratified Constitution grants no such powers to any branch of our lawful government.

SCOTUS will let the 9th's abolition interpretation sit for long enough, but the first nuke/pox hit we take will bring Gen. Tommy Frank's opinion of martial law to reality.

The Harvy Milks of our federal, state, and local governments will stand for nothing less. We scare them.

You have no right to keep and bear arms because a few agenda driven men in blackrobes say so while their and your superiors sit by and do nothing to protect and defend our ratified Constitution.

Our Chancellor shall declare his or her emergency powers, ending even lip service to constitutional self-government.

Five black robes versus five million scoped deer rifles. I wonder how that equation would work out in an acid test.
