Stop the UN Gun Ban

This 4th of July, while you and your family celebrate the 230th Anniversary of the founding of our great nation, there’s one party you won’t be invited to...

...And that’s the party that Kofi Annan is throwing at United Nations headquarters in New York — using your tax dollars — for nearly fifty dictatorships, six terrorist states, governments that endorse execution based on religious faith, and a multitude of other nations from around the globe.

You see, this party isn’t to honor your freedoms -- but to conspire to take them away. That’s right. Over our 4th of July holiday, while taps is played at Arlington National Cemetery to honor Americans who have sacrificed their lives for freedom...

We are all still here.

There are a number of reasons why the TRT faded from the scene. Funnily enough, it wasn't the Denver spy files debacle. When the Secret Service, the FBI and the BATF (especially) are all specifically going after you for your political activism, a municipal police department is small beans.

But don't doubt it. We're still here for when we're needed. Don't expect us until it gets desperate, however; that's the nature of the TRT. I've always said that the TRT is the safety valve, the steam hissing off in order to prevent detonation.

Tyrants inherently underestimate the fierce unflinching and malevolently determined rage of free men approached with orders to wear the chains of slavery.

The spirit's still there, in the homes and hearts of the people.

Hi All-

The U.N. should get out of the gun ban business. They don't comprehend the topic and it is ironic that blue-helmeted U.N. peacekeepers themselves carry rifles in the course of their so-called duties. The U.N. consistently lends support to any nation/political group that stands against the honorable values of the United States. That organization is truly a supreme waste of time.

Haiti. Move 'em to Haiti. They can come back when they make something worthwhile out of that sad little nation.

They won't get them all in one swoop, but they will have nice little programs designed to get them. For instance, turn in your neighbor for a nice reward.

Keep in mind that nobody in the UN is elected, but appointed by the representing government. Those people are directed by high ranking government officials, usually unelected as well.

Without a popular vote against UN directives, most of the UN policy is relegated to votes by our congress, at least in America. But many member nations have no elected representitives, or a voice of the people.

In a sense, the UN is governments trying to run other governments. If the will of the people is not inserted in a governments operation, the will exerted by the UN is tyrannical compliance.

No sovergn or sane nation should follow the directives of facist or dictatorial governments regardless of how many countrys sign off on a directive. The whole concept of UN regulations is how many nations sign on in defiance of the US. They then use those numbers as psychological intimidation by making compliance seem to be a good thing for the world. The sheeple, being good citizens of the world, sign on.

Americans are citizens of the United States of America. We are not citizens of the world. No other nation or group of nations can grant us what we already possess. Nor can they remove anything that we don't willingly give up.

This photo made me do a double take.

The background in this photo, looks frighteningly similar to the southern deserts of Arizona.

I think the Feds and the local Ninja boys would pee all over themselves to see who would be first to confiscate them.

Or maybe not.

President Kerry

Brrrr....

I've said it around before. sKerry was too busy polishing the platter he would have served our collective arses on to the UN, had he got elected.

What scares me now, is that he (and others) are being more discrete about it now, as '08 approaches.

There are a couple of others you've likely not heard of. But there's more about the Wales death *here* and an update from last month *here*.

Hi unixfox-

"...The frog in the pot continues to boil..."


That is a method of gungrabbing I've felt is their dirty tactic for years. They can't very well announce that "...All pump-action shotguns are now illegal. Turn them all in within thirty days..." so we'll always have to watch for their sneaky ways. Whether or not the general population understands this threat is unknown, it's getting gunowners to comprehend how their rights are being pinched is the big challenge.

And while we're at it, we should destroy that stupid anti-gun statue out front.

Is it bronze? Surely there's something the handloading crowd could do with that...

Chip implanted in cop's hand would allow only officer to fire the gun

Note from infowars.com: Remember, you heard it here first. When Alex interviewed Baja Beach Club director Conrad Chase about their chip implant PR push to implant all of their VIP customers Chase provided Alex and his listeners some inside info straight from VeriChip. He not only told Alex about the gun/chip implant technology described in the AP article below, but also told him that the CEO of VeriChip, Mr. Bolton, had told him that there was a plan to use the VeriChip as a global implantable identity system.

He also told Alex that that the VeriChip company had told him that the Italian government was preparing to implant all of their government workers.

Since the implant/gun information Chase provided proved to be true, we must all be very concerned about the expansion of the Beast System as outlined by Chase and VeriChip.

PALM BEACH -- A new computer chip promises to keep police guns from firing if they fall into the wrong hands.

The tiny chip would be implanted in a police officer's hand and would match up with a scanning device inside a handgun. If the officer and gun match, a digital signal unlocks the trigger so it can be fired. But if a child or criminal would get hold of the gun, it would be useless.

The technology is the latest attempt to create a so-called ``smart gun'' and could be marketed to law enforcement agencies within a year, according to Verichip Corp., which has created the microchip.

Verichip president Keith Bolton said that the technology could also improve safety for the military and individual gun owners.

``If you let your mind wander to other potential uses, you can imagine the lives that could be saved,'' he said.

Verichip, which has marketed similar microchips for security and medical purposes, announced Tuesday a partnership with gun maker FN Manufacturing to produce the smart weapons. The companies have developed a prototype and are working to refine its accuracy, Bolton said.

Similar developments are under way at other gun manufacturers and research firms. The New Jersey Institute of Technology and Australian gun maker Metal Storm Ltd. are working on a prototype smart gun that would recognize its owner's individual grip.

``We're at an interesting age where all sorts of science fiction is becoming real technology,'' said Donald Sebastian, NJIT vice president for research and development and director of the project.

The technology could also eventually have an even bigger impact on the illegal gun trade, Sebastian said.

The FBI estimated that 67 percent of the 16,204 murders in 2002 were committed with firearms.

``You have a long-term benefit of making it much more difficult for a handgun to have any value to anyone other than the original owner,'' Sebastian said.

But until the smart-gun technology is repeatedly proved to be reliable, some law enforcement authorities remain leery.

The scanning device could malfunction, the officer's hand with the computer chip could be smashed during a fight or an officer might need to use a partner's gun, said West Palm Beach police training Sgt. William Sandman.

``We have power outages, computers crash. Would you risk your life knowing all those things that could go wrong?'' Sandman said.

Verichip's Bolton said those concerns already are being addressed. He said the guns can be designed to work for an officer, his partner and a supervisor. Departments could set routines where the scanning devices in guns could be checked before every shift.

The chip needs no battery or power source. It works much like those that have been implanted in pets over the past decade so they can be identified if they get lost. Verichip, a subsidiary of the Palm Beach-based technology firm Applied Digital Solutions, developed a ``more intelligent'' version two years ago for humans and estimates that about 900 people worldwide have been implanted with them.

The chips can be used instead of security key cards at office buildings or to use global positioning satellites to keep track of a relative who might suffer from Alzheimer's. It can store medical information that emergency rooms could read or financial and identification information to prevent fraud.

The chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted into an arm or hand with a syringe _ much like a shot is given.

Bolton said the company has seen no medical complications and that the technology will only improve with time.

Once the technology is accepted, legislation could follow to encourage the use of smart guns. New Jersey already has passed legislation that will require smart gun technology on all handguns sold _ three years after the state attorney general certifies that smart guns are available in the marketplace.

The National Rifle Association opposes the legislation because of potential problems with smart-gun technology, but gun safety advocates argue that the technology could encourage gun ownership with the newfound sense of security.

``It seems that guns are the only product that haven't followed a path of development that leads to greater safety for the user. The only real change we've seen is to make them more lethal and smaller so they can be more easily concealed,'' said Rob Wilcox, a spokesman for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. ``This is one of the steps that hasn't been taken and we think this debate is one that needs to take place.'' ___
