Christie supports gun-control efforts and assault-weapons ban


Screw you.  Just change your affiliation to Democratic and get it over with.


There he goes again.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday became the most prominent Republican to criticize the National Rifle Association — calling its advertisement referencing President Barack Obama’s daughters “reprehensible.”

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” Christie said at a news conference where he introduced a task force on guns and mental health.

Christie, facing re-election this year in heavily Democratic blue state New Jersey, appears to have made beating up on fellow Republicans and their supporters a central theme of his campaign.

The NRA’s ad called Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for not supporting armed guards at schools, even though his daughters receive armed protection at school.

Obama's children attend the Sidwell school, an elite private academy in Washington, DC. The school has approximately a dozen armed security guards.

Additionally, the President's children are protected by a Secret Service detail.

“Are the presidents’ kids more important than yours?” the ad’s narrator asks.

The NRA, based in Fairfax, Va., in the wake of the Newton shooting, called for putting armed security guards in all schools.

NBC Poll: Public Blames Parents, Hollywood Over Guns for Violence

 

Americans place more blame for mass shootings on parents and Hollywood than they do on guns, a surprising new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll reveals.

Asked how much responsibility several choices might bear for the shootings that have taken place in Tucson, Ariz.; Aurora, Colo.; and Newtown, Conn., guns came in fifth.

The top choice was “parents not paying enough attention to what is going on in their children’s lives” — 83 percent said that was “a great deal” or a “good amount” responsible. Only 4 percent said “none at all.”

The second choice, selected by 82 percent as “a great deal”
or “a good amount,” was “the lack of effective treatment for mental illness.”

Next came “the amount of media coverage of mass shootings,” at 67 percent.

Fourth was “movies, television programs, and video games that portray violence and violent behavior,” chosen by 62 percent.

Tied for fifth place at 59 percent each was “assault and military-style firearms being legal to purchase,” and “the availability of high capacity ammunition clips.”

Rasmussen: 65% See Gun Rights as Protection Against Tyranny


 

Two-out-of-three Americans recognize that their constitutional right to own a gun was intended to ensure their freedom.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65 percent of American Adults think the purpose of the Second Amendment is to make sure that people are able to protect themselves from tyranny. Only 17 percent disagree, while another 18 percent are not sure.

Not surprisingly, 72 percent of those with a gun in their family regard the Second Amendment as a protection against tyranny. However, even a majority (57 percent) of those without a gun in their home hold that view.

Many gun control advocates talk of the right to gun ownership as relating to hunting and recreational uses only.

While there are often wide partisan differences of opinion on gun-related issues, even 54 percent of Democrats agree with 75 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of those not affiliated with either major party that the right to own a gun is to ensure such freedom.

Neat: Glock has put the 36 slide on the 30

He made a mistake stating later a 36 frame, but it is a 30 frame.



Glock Firearms
http://www.glock.com/

Glock has the luxury of being able to sell pretty much as many guns as they can make, but they still have a finely tuned ear to consumers and LE in order to figure out exactly what is the next Glock that will make you happy. This G30s is a compact .45ACP with a 10 round magazine and slightly thinner grip, and the unique feature is that they have put a G36 slide on it, making it thinner and easier to conceal. They can use the thinner slide because the .45ACP is not a particularly high pressure cartridge. It was designed just after the turn of the last century and is known as the ultimate manstopper in a handgun. A lot of us prefer to carry it, but the guns can be bulky. This new G30s reduces the footprint of Glock’s 10 round 45ACP gun, making it a great choice for concealed carry. Glock also has a few new Gen 4 guns this year, and they hope to release this 30s in Gen 4 as well as
 the G36.

NC: Legislation restricting gun ownership


                                                             Picture of Warren Todd Daniel
 
Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns about 2nd Amendment rights.  I share your concern, especially in light of recent executive orders that have been issued by President Obama.  With his continued executive actions, it is becoming more and more evident that our Constitutional freedoms are under attack.  
 
I assure you that I will diligently monitor any legislation that is proposed this year in NC that would impact 2nd Amendment rights.  I was endorsed by the NRA in 2012, and I have and always will be a defender of the rights of law abiding gun owners.  With Republican majorities in both the NC House and Senate this session, I do not anticipate that any legislation restricting gun ownership will move forward.  Again, thank you for contacting me with your concerns about this issue. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Senator Warren T. Daniel

art-link-symbol-small-rev01.jpg Why does China need four times as much rice year-over-year? Why purchase more iron when you already have a huge surplus? Why buy gold when, as Federal Reserve Chairmen Ben Bernanke suggests, it is not real money? Why build massive cities capable of housing a million or more people, and then keep them empty? It doesn’t add up. None of it makes any sense. Unless the Chinese know something we haven’t been made privy to, says Mac Slavo in this article at SHTFPlan.

 art-link-symbol-small-rev01.jpg False flag gone wrong - Although the Obama Administration intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers ... and the attackers, believing that the Obama had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets, say Floyd and Mary Brown in this article at GOPUSA

 As a citizen you are expected to pursue your grievances through the courts, including attempts to tread on your liberties. A government gun grab would violate the Second and Fourth Amendments, but it wouldn't justify the use of deadly force, which is reserved for situations where you or other innocents face immediate death or serious bodily harm, not for protecting property or liberty.  For the same reason, you're not allowed to shoot someone who tries to infringe your 1st Amendment rights.  The constitution does protect you from the government treading on your liberty, but it does not grant you the use of deadly force in doing so.

I'm sure TJ wholeheartedly disagrees as do I and many others.

 The New York Times is the "house organ" of the American Left. It's provided many a service to the Obama Administration. That its writers should be inclined to lie in service to the Left's agenda should come as no surprise...except that far too many Americans still believe, despite everything that's transpired, that "the paper of record" would never dare to print a factual assertion that's untrue. It is to laugh.

 What it's about, what most of our politics is about, is the seething hatred between our two white tribes, with such issues as gun control, gay rights, and posture towards blacks as tribal markers. Posture is all it is; as the late Joe Sobran observed, liberals in their mating and migratory habits are indistinguishable from members of the Klan.

 Most folks know that the people running up the death toll in murder capitals like Chicago are not using AR15s. And many Americans yet accept that in the last analysis it is a man's duty to be the defender and protector of his wife and children. Human nature will ultimately triumph over ideology.

Los Angeles cops wait for the bad guys to escape - Robbers stabbed a clothing store employee and sexually assaulted another during an hours-long hostage drama that ended early Friday with a police SWAT team surging into the shop and rescuing 14 workers. No robbers were found. [No description of the perps, indicating it's the usual suspects]

What they really want - We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them. We can’t have those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons. We should ban those in Iowa. We need to get them off the streets—illegally—and even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them. We can’t have those out there. Because if they’re out there they’re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There are just too many guns. We have to change, and we have to get stricter and tougher with what we do

Federal regulation of private gun sales - There is NO FEDERAL JURISDICTION for private party intra state sales of any used merchandise. The Interstate Commerce Clause does not apply. No Federal nexus means no Federal jurisdiction!

 As documents relating to the Sandy Hook shooting continue to be assessed and interpreted by independent researchers, there is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults was intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends. While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place — at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described.
James Tracy, Florida Atlantic University via sun-sentinel.com 

 I highly suspect that the mohammed video was itself made at the behest of the Obama regime, thus making the whole Stevens assassination a giant false flag operation. The fact that Hillary was trotting the video out before the SEALs were even dead reinforces that hunch profoundly.

Writer offers reasonable gun limits

A parody?

 

VERBATIM

 
To the editor:

In the wake of the Dec. 14 gun massacre of school children and staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, I came up with a few reasonable proposals for gun regulations.

I’m sure they have absolutely no chance of adoption, but I thought I’d share them anyway.

1) Preserve the 2nd Amendment.

2) Each household will be allowed to possess a maximum of one weapon per adult for home protection.

3) All weapons to be sold out of government run retailers, like ABC stores in North Carolina, which are the only legal outlet for liquor.

4) Each household will be allowed the limited amount of ammunition necessary for practice, etc. Ammunition will also be sold by government- run retailers.

5) All purchases will be tracked by computer.

6) Privately run gun ranges for practice and sport shooting will be allowed. They will be able to sell ammunition for use on site.

7) Additional ownership of hunting guns will be allowed, which must be single-shot only (good enough for Dan’l Boone, it’s good enough for you).

8) Possession of guns/ammunition over the limit will be penalized.
