GRNC Action Alert: Schumer-Lautenberg Magazine Ban Update

Details are emerging regarding the magazine ban recently proposed by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) as an amendment to the "Cybersecurity Act" currently being considered by the US Senate. In many respects the proposed ban is even more draconian than the prior Clinton ban that ended in 2004. Specific features that gun owners should be aware of include: It places on gun owners the burden of proof that standard magazines with capacities > 10 rounds were manufactured pre-ban. It specifically precludes loaning or sharing of pre-ban standard capacity magazines. It provides for fines and up to 10 years in prison for violations: twice the sentence time specified by the Clinton ban. This law was clearly drafted to punish law-abiding gun-owners and to push the armed citizenry into use of less than optimally-effective weapons for defense of themselves and their families. The Second Amendment protects arms to be used by an effective militia. Making available only obsolete and reduced-capacity weapons clearly violates this intent and must be stopped! Where Do NC Senators Stand? Senator Richard Burr (R-NC, ****) has been a champion of gun-rights but also is one of the original sponsors of the “Cybersecurity Act”. Now that this Act is being used as host for the parasitic magazine ban, he has clear conflicted interest in the issue. We need him to understand that failure to pass his “Cybersecurity Act” is better than approval of one with a poisonous, anti-gun amendment. Our second US Senator, Kay Hagan (D-NC, 0-star) pays lip service to Second Amendment rights, but her actions betray her. For example, she recently failed to sign onto a pledge to vote against ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty that would have exposed our rights to international infringement. She has an opportunity now to redeem herself by refusing to support this anti-freedom amendment. IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED! You need you to do two things: Email US Senators representing NC Richard Burr (R - ****). Email US Senators representing NC Kay Hagan (D – 0). CONTACT INFO US Senators representing NC: Richard Burr - http://www.burr.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm Kay Hagan - http://www.hagan.senate.gov/contact/ DELIVER THIS MESSAGE To NC Senator Burr: Dear Senator Burr, As a North Carolina gun owner I am outraged and insulted by the proposal to limit access of law-abiding citizens to only reduced-capacity magazines for modern defensive firearms. This law, submitted as S.A. 2575 to the “Cybersecurity Act” that you sponsored, makes it clear that some US Senators believe that law-abiding North Carolinians should only be trusted to defend themselves and families with obsolete weapons. As your constituent I want you to understand that failure to pass the “Cybersecurity Act” would be better than passing it with a clearly anti-freedom amendment. Sincerely, To NC Senator Hagan: Dear Senator Hagan, As a North Carolina gun owner I am outraged and insulted by the proposal to limit access of law-abiding citizens to only reduced-capacity magazines for modern defensive firearms. This law, submitted as S.A. 2575 to the “Cybersecurity Act” sponsored by Senator Burr, makes it clear that some US Senators believe that law-abiding North Carolinians should only be trusted to defend themselves and families with obsolete weapons. As your constituent I want you to understand that failure to pass the “Cybersecurity Act” would be better than passing it with a clearly anti-freedom amendment. In the past you have claimed to support gun rights. Your actions, however, have often been inconsistent with this stated position. For example, your lack of signing the pledge to not support ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty was particularly troubling. The anti-gun amendment currently at issue provides you with an opportunity to clearly demonstrate by your actions that you support the Second Amendment. Your action on this issue will be remembered during your next election. Sincerely, Twitter Blast! Harness the Power of Social Media to Promote the 2A!

If Two Lesbians Kill Another Lesbian, Is It A Hate Crime?

We have seen how the left tries to define alleged “hate crimes” and in particular they want to point to the free speech of Christians who decry a deviant lifestyle that is associated with homosexuality. But what happens when two lesbians kill another lesbian? Is that considered a hate crime by the left? In fact, would it even garner national attention?

Well such has occurred in Meadville, PN. Jade N. Olmstead, 18 and her new “lover” Ashley M. Barber brutally beat and strangled Olmstead’s former girlfriend, Brandy M. Stevens, 20, and then buried her alive. This is more than just a killing. It was torture.

Go Erie reports,

Olmstead greeted Stevens and lured her into the woods near the home that she shared with Barber and Barber’s parents in Wayne Township, to see a crude fort that she and Ashley Barber were building. Barber was hiding there. At the fort, the two women began punching and kicking Stevens and stuffed a “Saw” cap into her mouth to stop her pleading for her life and screaming.

“They said they were freaking out from her screams,” Mallory said.

Stevens was knocked to the ground by the two women. Barber put a rope around her neck and strangled her while Olmstead alternately hit her in the head with a shovel and helped to choke her, Mallory said.

Barber also repeatedly pounded Stevens’ head against a stump and told police that a bruise on her own forehead came from head-butting Stevens’ besides.

“She was on the victim’s back with her knee in her spine, pulling her head back with the rope … and letting it hit the stump,” Mallory said.

The two women rolled Stevens into a shallow grave that they had prepared for her at the fort. When they saw that she was still breathing, they threw a large rock onto her face and poured water into her mouth and nose.

“She said that her worst fear was being buried alive,” Mallory said of Barber. “She was trying to kill her.”

The results of an autopsy by Erie County forensic pathologist Eric Vey showed that Stevens suffocated on dirt, police Trooper Phillip Shaffer testified.

Now, I ask you, why is Barack Obama not making this national news like he did the Trayvon Martin case? In fact, why is this not covered at all in the major media?

Another Chick-Fil-A experience today (NC)

...........the Chick Fil-A in Hendersonville, NC

There was an enormous crowd with lines winding inside and going outside past the back end of the building and into the back parking lot. The Auto line extended onto U.S. 64, and traffic was backed up almost to I-26 on the west side. Parking space was scarce and spilled over into the parking lot of the shopping center almost to Wal-Mart. According to other people who had tried to eat there during the day, these crowded conditions began before 11 am. The expected wait, if you had the time, was as about two hours or slightly more. Yet people were smiling.

One Army Vietnam Veteran of the First Air Cavalry told me he was beginning to lose hope for his country, but he felt good now and looked forward to voting in November.
