BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!
Is the answer to everything more 
government?  What makes him think the guard in uniform won't be the 
firstone to die?
And then who is left to protect the kids? The 
uniform just makes it easier for the criminal to identify, target and take out 
the persons most likely to offer resistance to their intended 
crimes.
If anyone in the country should know that more 
government doesn't work it should be the 
NRA.
The government had Dianne Feinsteine's assault 
weapons "law" on the books in the 90s and the Columbine shooting still happened. The ban did absolutely 
nothing to stop it, and La Pierre knows that.  Banning weapons in 
certain places just creates FREE KILLING ZONES FOR THE CRAZY 
PEOPLE, AND FOR GOVERNMENT HIT SQUADS.
Mr. La Pierre, you said the mental health system has 
totally collapsed. What do you suggest to fix that? Would you give that to government also?  Will you let failed 
"mental health professionals" decide who is sane and who is not?  Would you 
now let government mental health people getting paid by 
our tax money decide who can have guns and who can't?
WHAT WOULD MAKE US BELIEVE that these people 
wouldn't tend to try to justify their own paycheck like everyone else in government, by putting lots of people on the 
unworthy list that don't belong there? What makes you think that veterans and 
shooting enthusiasts wouldn't be put on the list or 
committed for mental health reasons, to remove opposition to the gun grabbers.
What government agency do you know of that wouldn't 
use this to remove their opposition? What government agency do you know of 
that operates using pure and moral or even lawful 
intent?
After all, the jails are full, so the people that 
run them can keep the per diem pay coming. Look at the result of the so called 
drug war.
The jails are full of people who either got caught 
with a half ounce of marijuana, or had evidence planted by crooked cops so they 
could confiscate their stuff. Police departments are 
auctioning off all kinds of stuff they confiscated and keeping the money to 
finance more firepower and military style equipment so they can 
do even more raiding. It's a vicious cycle of plunder under the color of 
"law".
It's so bad now that there are over 2 MILLION 
people behind bars in this country that we have to support with our tax 
dollars.
The jails and the courts and cops that keep them 
full are now a huge GROWTH INDUSTRY worth billions upon billions of 
dollars per year.
So do you want, now, to make the mental hospitals a 
GROWTH INDUSTRY the same as the prison system? Really?
IS THAT YOUR SOLUTION? Come on, 
get real. You can do a lot better than that!
Is this what you call compromise;  giving 
up something that involves our rights, to get what might not even 
make a little more safety?  
The dictionary definition of compromise 
is:
"...settlement 
of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual 
concessions". 
There 
can be NO concession, or infringement on 
gun rights, in the same way that there can be NO concession on your absolute 
right to defend 
yourself and your neighbor against a 
threat to your life and well-being by someone using lethal force.
Read 
this article on what is really the law about guns:  http://www.paulstramer.net/2012/12/all-gun-control-so-called-laws-are-null.html
The 
NRA is famous for this compromising of our absolute rights.  
PROHIBITED PLACES LAWS make absolutely no sense whatsoever. 
An 
example right here in Montana is the so called law that prohibits a lawfully 
carrying person, even a concealed carry permit holder, from carrying 
his weapon in a cafe that serves beer and wine. 
In 
the first place, I have never seen any person in the cafes that I eat in ever 
get rowdy from 
too much to drink.
Second, 
if someone did, and I needed my gun to protect myself, it would be out in the 
car. A fat lot of good that would do me.
If 
I am eating and not consuming alcohol, the stupid so called "law" prevents me 
from defending myself and my family. 
Third, 
there is no reason to believe that 
a concealed carry permit holder who has kept his record clean enough to hold 
that permit, is going to leave all that effort and common sense behind when 
he/she goes in 
that cafe. Ask the lady that testified before congress who watched her parents 
get shot and killed by the crazy gunman that crashed his vehicle through the 
front window of a fast food place in 
Texas and started shooting people. Her gun was in the car outside because the 
stupid prohibited places "law" said she couldn't have it in the 
cafe and like most "law abiding" people she left HER COMMON SENSE at the door in 
an attempt to obey a bad "law".  Do you really think it was a law and that she 
should have followed it? Do you really think she would do that same thing again, 
regardless of what the so called "law" says?
Then 
there is the federal so called "law" that stops even concealed permit holders 
from carrying in a  post office. They even want you to not have it in your car 
in the parking lot.
What 
absolute stupidity!   So you are in the precious metals business.  Your 
product is valuable. Very valuable. A little box that weighs in at 37 pounds, 
and measures about 12" X 8" X 5" can be worth over $20,000.  So you come to the 
post office to pick up a shipment that is shipped via registered mail, which 
packages always by postal regulations have to be kept in a safe 
when not being delivered, and the so called "law" makes it so you can't carry 
even a concealed handgun to protect yourself from a possible 
robbery.
Not 
only can you not carry in the building, but they don't even want your gun in the 
parking lot, so now you are forced to park OFF THE POSTAL PROPERTY, which 
requires you to carry that box of silver much farther WITHOUT YOUR GUN.  How 
absolutely insane is that?  Who should have their head examined now? Yes, the 
people that wrote that insane so called "law". Do you really think  that is a 
law?
Take 
a look at that link again:  http://www.paulstramer.net/2012/12/all-gun-control-so-called-laws-are-null.html
Then 
let's go to the bank with about $80,000 in cash to buy a cashiers check to pay 
for that precious metal.  At least there is a little running room on this one. 
While that so called "law" is supposed to prevent a concealed carry permit holder from carrying concealed in the bank, it lets you carry in the open. So 
now your gun is right there on your hip for everyone in the bank to 
see.
So 
you come in the bank with a large amount of cash to deposit in  your account so 
you can get a cashiers check to send to the mint in payment for an order for one 
of your customers, and one of the tellers, perhaps a new one that doesn't know 
you, pushes the silent alarm button and all hell breaks lose.  Wouldn't it have 
been better to carry that gun concealed like you can do lawfully almost anywhere 
else, and not upset the banks' help or their customers, and yet you would still 
be protected from a possible robbery or assault?  Again, who wrote such an 
insane law?  Maybe they should have their head examined by that government goon 
mental health professional?
So 
now we come back to the school, or the theatre, where most of these crimes seem 
to be taking place.
In 
1990 the government purported to put a "law" on the books called "The gun free 
school zones act of 1990".  In 1995 the Supreme Court blew it out of the 
water.
Then the infamous Janet Reno, made some changes that were 
"adopted and widely concealed" to get around the Supreme Court's decision, and 
today all the school authorities believe that one can not have a gun within 1000 feet of school property without a concealed carry permit.  This change has yet 
to be challenged in the Supreme Court. 
In any case what this so called "law" did was make it 
possible for criminals to come to a school with the reasonable assumption that 
there would be no armed intervention while they were committing their crimes. 
The same result applies to a theater who's owner opts to prohibit any guns in their building. They 
create a "gun free zone" translation "law free zone" where law and order goes 
out the window.
The real solution that will 
work.
In the case of a school, the administrative staff, those 
that are willing, should get the proper training at some kind of professional 
firearms training facility like Front Sight in Pahrump Nevada (www.frontsight.com) and they should all 
carry concealed at the school during school hours. Right now they can do that if 
they have a concealed carry permit. They don't have to spend money to pass any 
new "law" under current interpretation. If the school wants to hire an armed 
guard, that person or persons should also do so with a concealed weapon and the 
only requirement would be that the guard has a concealed carry permit, but they 
also should get that proper training.  That way the prospective shooter would 
not know who was armed. 
Then, and this is the big one, the school 
should post signs and advertise to the effect that any lethal force will be met 
with more than equal lethal force.
This also applies even better at the theater.  The theater should advertise first for people who have a concealed carry permit to come and 
be interviewed to receive some free tickets during the year, in return for 
carrying concealed while they are in the theater. The theater should insist that 
the perspective free ticket user should also have the proper training at a 
proper facility as mentioned above. Then the theater can advertise that there 
will be maybe a hundred people allowed to carry concealed in their theater, and 
that nobody will know who they are and when they will be using one of their 
tickets to attend a free movie. The theater can also say something to the effect 
that their buildings are not a gun free zone, but a crime free 
zone.
I 
can hear gun control people screaming "bloody murder" at me right now.  Those 
that do, ask yourself just one question.
Why do these whacos pick schools and theaters in the first place??? It's 
because of the stupid gun zone "laws", dummy! Duh!
Don't believe it???  Read this:  http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd565.htm
And finally, why am I using quotes around the word "laws" so much? 
Again:

Yes, it's a mess; now isn't it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and merry Christmas.
Concealed carry should mean just that and if you are qualified and have a permit you should be allowed to have it on you at all times anywhere. No one really wants to have to use it but if you must it is no good if its in the car in the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteCheck out www.sheriffpaul.com for a veriation to the NRA plan that makes sense. I say, arm the teachers like they do in Israel.
ReplyDeleteI believe NRA President David Keene would agree with you Paul.
ReplyDeleteThat is why he came out a week after Exec VP Wayne La Pierre's statement to 'clarify' or 'broaden' Wayne's 'misspeak' to include training/arming teachers/volunteers/guards etc at each schools discretion. This was classic 'damage control' for the media's sake to give the perception that the NRA remains unified rather than splintered within utilizing 'Obama Style' politics which have proven so effective on the mindless gnomes and mental midgets who currently proliferate the media.
Having said that...I think privately David Keene (and at least THREE of 4 million NRA members would WELCOME a new Exec VP more aligned with YOUR views, someone with the courage to publish those views, mince no words, compromise no values and protect the 2nd Amendment at all costs with common sense articulations of Constitutional truths that SPARE NO LIBERALS!
Soooo....whatcha doin' Paul in 2013? :)
Sir Francelot, You have stated the reasons very well why I don't belong to the NRA as a member. I do at Gun Owners of America however, because they just flat don't compromise with our right to self defense. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVan you are right one with one exception. The criminals are going to have guns and carry them concealed regardless of what is written down on any piece of paper. So our gun permit should be the 2nd Amendment and that's that.
I did check out sheriffpaul.com and the point is that EVERYONE that carries to defend the kids should carry concealed. The so called "law" (safe school zones) allows NOW for a concealed carry permit holder to carry at school, so all they need to do is get the permit.
As to the issue of trading a right in for a privilege by getting a permit that argument doesn't hold water either.
http://www.paulstramer.net/2012/11/what-is-really-law-and-what-is-not-law.html
Paul, I love your message, am a Life NRA member, and an RN, and hold a Private armed guard License, in my state, as a precaution, I also picked up one of your very reasonably priced handheld 2 meter radios, and got my amateur Technicians License, as every one should. For years I've seen the potential for silver, and collected a very modest amount, as a tangible asset for future trying times.
ReplyDeleteBasically, I want to say thanks for what you do:)
Well written and put together,,great job Paul, ...a lot of great points brought up. I kinda forgot 'they' usually have more than one agenda with their 'order out of chaos' schemes and agendas. Your solutions for schools and theaters make a hellava lotta sense,..as you so rightfully pointed out,..more government control equals more problems. And this compromise talk from the NRA is nonsense,..Why in a so called Free Country, with the God given right to bear arms, and protect oneself and family in the pursuit of happiness have to compromise this right ?! In my opinion, everyone should have the absolute right to both open and concealed carry,..and should insist on it,..make it a daily practice,..and before long,..there would be little or few wackos walking around. Problem as usual, even more so today, is 'those' that want the demise of America, and Americans. America, the land of the bold and the Free, founded, fought for and defended by our ancstors that we may have a better life,.is the last stronghold on the Planet,..if it goes down,..the world is screwed.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your very good comments. This issue is not going away any time soon, and It's my opinion that the gun grabbers are on the losing end of this, and causing their own demise by their stupid statements that make no sense.
ReplyDeleteThe people are smarter than that, and are waking up rapidly. There could be no better issue than self defense and the 2nd Amendment to make this awakening happen.
