NY Gun Confiscation Underway – Citizens Told to Turn in Pistol Owner ID & Firearms

Via Steven Peter Yevchak, Sr.

 Gun Confiscation

Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Remember all those who denied that firearms confiscation as a result of New York’s new gun laws was too “insane” to even consider?

That it was strictly in the realm of paranoid conspiracy theorists and the “it cant happen here crowd”?

Those were and remain some of the standard replies to anyone who even thought about the possibility, let alone gave voice to it, despite the fact that Gov Cuomo and numerous other officials made public comments about such a plan, as I discussed in my article “Feinstein & Cuomo Admit Planning Australian Style Government Gun Buy Back” .
Elected Officials, the media, various Gun Control Groups and their zealous forced disarmament supporters, even some firearms owners themselves all insisted it was to crazy to even consider.
There’s just one huge problem it is happening now in New York State!

It seems those that tried desperately to warn of such an insidious plot had hit the bullseye with their warnings after all. News came from multiple NY State based firearms enthusiast websites late Friday that confiscations of Pistol Owner ID Cards, as well as firearms and accessories has commenced in NY under the provisions of the horribly flawed, draconian and blatantly unconstitutional NY SAFE Act.
Those folks having their weapons and FID cards confiscated  have been discovered to have been prescribed multiple different types of psychotropic drugs, such as those for Depression or Anxiety.

These are known as SSRI ( Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) class drugs and have the potential to cause serious and adverse side effects, something I wrote about extensively last week in an article that went viral in days and caused multiple Anti Gun and Progressive News Groups to initiate a concentrated denial of service hacker attack against Ammoland Shooting Sports News (see Daily KOS ” Keeping Track Of The RKBA Crowd” http://tiny.cc/ug67uw),  in an effort to keep the information from the public.

From NY http://tiny.cc/nyfirearms
“John Doe, an upstanding professional with no outstanding criminal convictions and no history of violent action received a letter from the Pistol Permit Department informing him that his license was immediately revoked upon information that he was seeing a therapist for anxiety and had been prescribed an anxiety drug. He was never suicidal, never violent, and has no criminal history. The New York State Department of Health is apparently conducting a search of medical records to determine who is being treated for anxiety drugs and using this as a basis for handgun license revocation.
Those are the facts. Nothing more, nothing less.”

US Army's last tanks depart from Germany

Via Carl

 

The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S.

The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades. Last year, the 170th Infantry out of Baumholder disbanded. And the 172nd Separate Infantry Brigade at Grafenwöhr is in the process of doing the same.

On March 18, the remaining tanks were loaded up at the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s railhead in Kaiserslautern where they then made the journey to the shipping port in Bremerhaven, Germany. There they boarded a ship bound for South Carolina.

The tanks belonged to the 172nd along with a mix that were leftover from other units, according to the 21st TSC.

“It is an honor to be one of the soldiers escorting the last battle tanks out of Germany,” said Sgt. Jeremy Jordan of the 529th Military Police Company, in an Army story about the journey. “As these tanks sail back to the U.S., we are closing a chapter in history.”

Mints & Yankees

 http://www.usskidd.com/images/taylor.jpg


On 4 April 1861 the Confederate States seized the US mint at Dahlonega, Georgia. During the 1830s & 1840s  there was a gold rush in northern Georgia and southern North Carolina. With typical government efficiency, the US mint refused for a long time to establish branch mints at Charlotte & Dahlonega. Two German brothers, the Bechtlers, set up a minting operation in Rutherfordton from 1830 - 1852, minting the first gold dollars, $2.50, & $5 pieces. I have heard but not seen proved that in many parts of the South the Bechtlers, being more common that US money, were preferred to it. If the Bechtlers tried to do that today, O'barmer & his trolls would throw 'em in jail. 

On 4 April 1864 at the Battle of Mansfield General Richard Taylor routed yankee troops. Son of Zachary Taylor, Richard Taylor wrote one of the most entertaining and clear-eyed memoirs of the war, Destruction & Reconstruction.

Taylor's victory stopped cold yankee General Nathaniel Banks Red River Campaign in which the northern army committed atrocities like opening fire on civilians out for a Sunday walk. They terrified slaves into leaving their plantations then abandoned them, leaving them in camps to die by the hundreds. It was, I believe, Louisiana Government Henry Watkins Allen who collected depositions from civilians about the Red River Campaign, and published them in book form.

It's one of the few books I have ever had to push away from, sobbing.
