Most gun owners appear unaware of or indifferent to gun group merger

If that’s true, the scarcity of comments, on the “pro-deal” pieces, bringing gun owners information they have not heard before, leads to the disturbing conclusion that the pro-gun community just doesn’t care that much about what happens to JPFO one way or the other, leading back to an observation I made in my first Gun Rights Examiner piece: “The inescapable conclusion is, had gun owners stepped up and supported a group struggling after the passing of its founder, its rescue would have been unneeded.”

“Wow. Way to blame others for the group’s failure,” one critic of that observation responded in comments. “I might suggest that a lack of support stems from a perception that JPFO isn’t getting much done.”

I might suggest that perception stems from someone who does not recognize the value of the unique lessons JPFO alone provides, and that if his opinion had merit, a shrewd businessman like Alan Gottlieb would have no interest in assuming the costs of turning the group’s fortunes around. I might suggest a person who makes a comment like that has spent very little time seeing what it is JPFO does have to offer, and on helping to support its mission.

I might also suggest that a comment posted on a message board in response to Wolfe’s initial piece reflects an even more troubling issue.

“I skimmed through the article and still have no idea what SAF and JPFO means,” the forum member wrote.

FK – I often meet ‘gun owners’ who’ve never heard of GOA much less SAF, JPFO or any of the numerous smaller state orgs. out there. The average sheeple only allocates a tiny percentage of it’s brain power to really thinking about politics in any way. Our enemies know this. BTW, I don’t doubt our enemies long ago infiltrated the ‘No Rights that aren’t Allowed’ group if they didn’t found it to begin with. At best it’s a rich boys club despite their claims of members supporting it 20 bucks as a time or whatever. Most of its members obviously don’t understand the dire situation we are in or what will be required. It’s not that I haven’t been trying. But telling some people the truth is like saying the emperor has no clothes, when acknowledging such might endanger someone’s mortgage, bass boat, 50″ flat screen or NASCAR tickets.

Rejecting The Rule Of Law Means Inviting The Rule Of Guns

So what happens when the government is not restrained by law? What happens first is that the government does what it wants, as it wants, without accountability. That provides those left unprotected by the law two ugly choices. On one hand, they can submit, and allow themselves to be oppressed, existing at the pleasure, and subject to the whims, of their masters.

The alternative is to fight. Look at the Declaration of Independence. It’s largely a chronicle of English lawlessness, though the members of this administration no doubt consider that document unworthy of study because the Founding Fathers were cisgender, phallocentric racists or something.

Chairman Mao, who is a big favorite of the half-wits in the White House, said it best: “Power comes from the barrel of a gun.” If there is no law, there is no moral reason not to pick up a rifle and take what you want. The moral imperative of the law is that you will obey and respect it even if you disagree with it because it was justly imposed and will be fairly enforced. But if the law is neither justly imposed nor fairly enforced, that moral obligation disappears.

FK – Gee, what’s taking so many so long to wake up to reality? I realized what would be required many years ago.

 

U.S. Soldiers Eliminate Three Taliban Fighters During Ambush

FK – Combat isn’t sunday school. Finally they get some air support. Where were their grenade launchers? Some explanation was posted under the vid:

This patrol was a relief in place and I was on point leading the new guys in for the RIP. We hadn’t taken much contact in this area, and it was generally considered a “safe” zone in Logar Province.

We patrolled the area frequently, and the locals would regularly thank us for pushing the Taliban away from their village so they could live their daily lives without constant threat.

The Taliban that we came across during this patrol were actually setting up to shoot down our new surveillance balloon that was launched in the area. The balloon caught the entire fight on camera from above, which confirmed that we killed 3 Taliban fighters during this engagement.

I saw the first guy shoulder his RPG, take a knee, and point it directly at me from about 15 meters away. I’m not sure if it was luck, but I shot first and hit him twice. The rest of the team engaged immediately after.

At the end of the day there were no friendly casualties, and we had eliminated 3 Taliban fighters.

I wanted to share the video with the world because I was sick of hearing all the ignorant things said about what we are doing over there. People need to understand what it’s like on the ground for the troops on the front line, and see what we have to deal with on a daily basis without some political spin on the story.

Canadian feds overhaul gun laws with new ‘common sense’ firearms act

The act would limit the powers of provincial chief firearms officers, make all firearm licences possession-and-acquisition (PAL) licences, make it easier for legal gun owners to transport restricted firearms around their home province, provide a grace period to renew expired gun licenses, make the gun safety course mandatory for new shooters, and crack down further on domestic abusers owning guns.

“These measures would streamline licensing and eliminate needless red tape for law-abiding gun owners,” Blaney said. “Those who have shown a pattern of violent behaviour should not be able to possess firearms. These are the people we should focus our gun control efforts on.”

In 2012, the Tories scrapped the controversial long gun registry.

FK – It’s a right not a privilege.

If the sheeple had any ‘common sense’ they’d have long ago built the militia force necessary to hunt and eradicate the “Liberal”(commie) trash who want to disarm us all so we can’t kill them.

That’s what it’s about. That’s all it’s about.

Oklahoma City bombing: Claims of second accomplice and FBI intimidation

The core of the issue is that Trentadue claims the FBI has surveillance video revealing McVeigh carrying out the Oklahoma City bombing with an accomplice. The FBI adamantly denies that such video exists, and the government has insisted repeatedly that McVeigh acted alone in the event that killed 168 people.

The witness involved in this whole situation, John Matthews, was scheduled to testify regarding this alleged video in July, but withdrew at the last minute. Trentadue – as well as a freelance journalist named Roger Charles – stated that when he spoke with Matthews about his absence, the former agent told them the FBI threatened him.

“He was told he should take a vacation and that if he did testify he should suffer from a case of the ‘I don’t remembers,’” Trentadue told the judge back in July, as quoted by local Fox 13 News.

FK – Read ‘The Third Terrorist.”

More Than 1/3 of Americans in Households Receiving Federal Welfare

The Census Bureau numbers showed 82.7 million people living in households where people were on Medicaid, while 51.5 million were in homes receiving food stamps. Another 22.5 million were in households receiving aid under the Women, Infants and Children program and 20.4 million were living in homes with one or more residents receiving Supplemental Security Income. Public housing or housing subsidies provided shelter for 13.3 million residents and 5.4 million received Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

To illustrate the extent of America’s growing dependency on Washington’s taxpayer-supported largesse, Jeffrey noted that the 150 million Americans receiving some form of federal assistance, not counting veterans benefits, outnumbered the entire population of Russia (142.5 million). The combined population of the United Kingdom (63. 7 million) and the Ukraine (44.3 million) is less than the 109.6 million Americans benefiting from means-tested federal welfare programs at the end of 2012. That 35.4 percent of the U.S. population also outnumbers the 103 million full-time year-round workers in the United States. There is some overlap, however, as some full-time workers at low-paying jobs are also eligible for food stamps, Medicaid, etc. But that raises the question of why we have so many underemployed and working poor in America.

Politicians on the Left and Right lament the growth of a permanent underclass and the decades-long decline in real wages, adjusted to reflect inflation, for middle class Americans. Yet government policies have for decades been driving away the jobs that once fueled the mighty engines of the U.S. economy and enabled working Americans to more than adequately support themselves and their families. The federal corporate tax rate is the world’s highest at 35 percent, with states adding levies up to 12 percent. That provides an obvious incentive for companies to move jobs and production to nations with lower corporate tax rates, including Third World countries that offer cheap labor as well. “Free trade” agreements make it easier for multinational corporations to produce goods in countries where the cost of labor is low and sell them in the United States where demand and purchasing power is high.
