Ping!
I’m a refugee from that part of the country, but still have many friends and family living under the tyranny of the thug Democrats there. I wish you all well in this effort. Prince George’s County under Jack Johnson is well on its way to achieving “third world” status - just as D.C. has been for 30 years.
How many of you are attractive and single? :)
BUMP
Jesse Jackson targets District Heights gun shop
The District Heights gun store singled out last month by a regional task force for being the No. 1 source of recovered weapons in the District has been chosen as the site of a gun violence protest Aug. 28.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a national social justice organization, are planning a national day of protests against gun violence, and chose Realco Guns Inc. in District Heights as the Washington, D.C., location. Jackson has not yet decided which protest he will attend.
A gun trafficking task force announced last month that police traced 76 firearms recovered in the District last year to Realco, making it the top source of recovered weapons in the Washington, D.C. Police recovered 2,656 guns last year.
Rainbow PUSH D.C. office manager Steven Smith said the coalition chose Realco as the location for the protest because of its proximity to the District and because of its connection with recovered weapons.
He said District Mayor Adrian Fenty and County Executive Jack B. Johnson are expected to attend.
The protest starts at noon.
This is outrageous because Realco was singled out since it’s close to DC and 0.0003% (rounding up!) of the guns recovered in DC last year were traced to Realco. These guns could have been recovered in traffic violations or from people like Jim Webb’s assistant, who forgot to remove it from their briefcase before entering the city in their rush to get to work on time! Hardly a smoking gun, if you get my drift.
Try buying a gun from this store sometime and wade through the endless ID checks, forms, and Maryland waiting period required for “Brady” checks, and you’ll realize this dealer is being railroaded for purely political purposes.
The police spend so much time doing data entry and retrieval they don’t have time to go after murderers, rapists, and child molesters. The Second Amendment Foundation listed a study that showed “less than one handgun in 6,500 is ever used in a homicide.” Statistically, that’s zero!
On the Brady background check, the SAF states, “2,356,376 background checks were performed the first year the Brady law took effect, at a cost of about $24 dollars per check. Of those checks, only four prosecutions were initiated. That’s 14.1 million dollars per prosecution. Plus, local law enforcement agencies had to take officers off of the streets, and put them behind desks to process applications and perform background checks.”
Talk about statistical insanity! The Bradys, Million Moms, and Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow Push are all about inciting mass hysteria.
What’s it all really about? Obama wants to ban all private ownership semi-automatic firearms. Can you say tyranny? Jackson is a political animal, and doesn’t care that gun bans were used to keep African-Americans in slavery. George Mason, in the Virginia Convention, actually noted that restricting access to firearms was the best way to enslave people! So here are two leading African-American public figures advocating enslaving even more Americans, and one of them may be our next president.
Totally insane. I say get out to Realco or another local shop on the 28th and exercise your rights (at least temporarily) guaranteed by the second amendment. Our constitution itself is at stake and liberty is on the chopping block
Bravo, 2AS folks! Can’t be there, but at least I can bump your thread.
I just re-read the date, unfortunately I have a flight out of Dulles the day before :(
Next time though, because this one wont be buried until the Supreme court upholds that Parker case!
PING!
On August 28, activists in cities across America will hold a national day of protest to focus attention on the scourge of illegal gun trafficking.The date is the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s historic March on Washington in 1963.
The Brady Campaign with its network of Million Mom March Chapters is supporting the efforts of Reverend Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition to draw attention to gun violence by organizing local events to be held in cities across America. So far, local activists have confirmed more twenty events, and more are expected.
Among the activities on the 28th will be
In addition, a statewide letter writing campaign is being organized in California to build support for a crime-fighting “microstamping” bill being considered by the State Legislature.
The August 28 rallies will focus the public and push leaders at all levels of government to take action against the illegal gun market and to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
Will the reverend Jesse Jackson be brining along his child that he had with his mistress while cheating on his wife?
SAS Bump! I can’t be there, but I’ll be buying ammo and a new gun on the 28th.
Bang
BUMP
I will be there! ...and I will make a purchase of some sort.
Can’t wait, I am sure we will outnumber them 10-1
