Political dueling has become so common
place and the idea that a representative or senator in the US
Congress must pass a flurry of bills in order to make their special
interest constituents happy, it is one of the main reasons why
congressional members lose sight of the reason why the articles of
the Constitution of the United States was written. They manipulate
the truth to get people on their side with the willing help of the
mainstream media while using fear tactics and preying upon the
emotion of voters hoping they will not stop for one minute and use
common sense and factual logic to appraise the situation or problem.
Money, and the power of having a substantial amount of it, still weighs upon what kind of bills are
generated by the federal and state legislators. One political club
paints those that are wealthy as evil, despite having the larger of
the two political entities in terms of donations; financed by the
wealthy who have embarked upon crusades against the rights and
liberties against rest of society.
Bluegrass Bruce, a Kentucky-raised husband and hunter with a
passion for politics, wrote:
The biggest battle over gun rights this election season isn’t in Washington, D.C. but in Washington State. Second Amendment supporters in Washington are facing off with the gun control lobby over dueling ballot initiatives — a pro-gun bill to prevent gun confiscation (I - 591) and an anti-gun bill to expand background checks (I - 594).
It is because of the recent crime
committed with a firearm that the legislators in that state have
decided to counter the Second Amendment and reinforce their mantra
that if they do not like guns or want firearms, no one should have
them.
Seattle millionaire, Bill Gates
(and Paul Allen) are behind this spearhead against
constitutional law. One would think that Bill Gates would be against
big government policies after the Clinton administration unfairly
accused Microsoft of being a monopoly, which resulted in the corporation
being forced to split. It was all in the name of being for the
benefit of the consumer. What resulted, instead, is that Microsoft
quality faded, annoying customers that the federal big government had
declared they were marking Microsoft for. Indeed, Bill Gates became
so disillusioned with what had become of the successful world-wide
corporation that he retired from the activities of his chair on the
board. Paul Allen is the co-founder of Microsoft and thus about as
wealthy as Bill Gates, who was ranked in Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people as ranking second and third
in the world, depending upon what year the poll took place; until
2013 when Gates was declared the wealthiest individual in the world and again in October of 2014.
The Gates' home and land are valued at
$125 million (2006) and pays $991,00 in real estate taxes per year.
He gives millions away annually to charities that include Bill& Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill and Melinda Gates are
considered the second most generous philanthropists in the world, spending over $28 billion to
charity as of 2007.
Between Bill Gates and Paul Allen, more than $7 million has been raised in support of I-594 in Washington state
legislator. The pro-gun crowd raised $1.3 million, $191,000
of which came from the NRA, who just spent time and funding in the
2014 mid-term elections to ensure that gun control enthusiasts did
not get elected or reelected. Polls show that 70% of Washington state
citizens favor the anti-firearm bill. Bill Gates is advocating what he calls 'universal background check' - is that different from the federal background check already in place, required that all state governments comply? What can you expect from a nerd? A genius, but no common sense. At least he is not as ruthless and hypocritical as Bloomberg.
Bill Gates joins Michael Bloomberg
in a quest to tailor society and use their money to social
engineering and the passing of legislation that removes established
rights and liberties from the peasantry with their philanthropic
feudalism. Bloomberg is “only a few steps behind Obama in his over-reaching efforts to control his citizens.”
Mother Jones, sometimes referred
to as “Mo-Jo”, founded in 1976, puts its bias mouth into the fray
by stating that the NRA Degrades and Objectifies Women. Apparently the author of
that article has not seen recent political Democrat campaign ads.
Mo-Jo could never sanction women defending themselves from violent
criminal predators, unthinkable. Mother Jones is named after Mary
“Mother” Jones who was part of the group called the
Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS) back in 1905, that included
Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, Clarence Darrow, and Walter Lippman. It
was designed to promote the establishment of socialism, but it also
was in defense of regulations against child labor. Trade unions
became great contributors. The infamous Hollywood hypocrite and make
of documentaries of untruth, Michael Moore, edited Mother Jones until he was fired in 1986. Moore
spoke loudly against the Iraq War, but has not said a thing about the
Obama foreign policies, which include sending troops to Iraq and
Afghanistan despite being against the war against Islamic Jihad.
If you examine the socialist
organizations and perpetrators of the Nanny State, one can
easily start connecting dots – and all pointing to the origin of
the socialist/communist movement in America imported heavily when
Stalin was in power. A good source for connecting those dots is
Discover the Networks, published by David Horowitz, who also publishes FrontPage
magazine. Horowitz is an interesting person who was raised by parents
who were members of the Communist
Party USA, an outspoken member of the New Left, before finally rejecting the lies and propaganda it
offered. Horowitz has used his ideological journey from communism to
constitutionalism in his memoir, Radical Son, and public speeches. He represents the 'Baby Boom'
generation that was cultured in the Hippie revolution that was
against the 'establishment' – who are part of (and their offspring)
of the political/government establishment today – trading the US
Constitution for the platform of the Marxist manifesto adopted by the
Democrat Party that began with the 'Progressive Era' of the Woodrow
Wilson administration.
In an article entitled Stealing Capitalism: The Crime of the Century – American
Thinker, Jill S. Sprik wrote:
It’s been 105 years since a clandestine plot was hatched to purloin America’s capitalist system and replace it with socialism. Most of us were unaware of what was taking place right under our naïve noses, but recent events have now made it clear. … The I.S.S. determined to achieve its goals in three ways: organize I.S.S. chapters on college campuses; graduate socialist adherents into society; and permeate labor unions, schools, and government with their followers.
Reid
Wilson
posted a report on an alleged 'study' entitled Study:Online gun sales open market to buyers who would fail a background check.
Doing some research myself, I could find NOT ONE online firearm
retailer that did not post a warning that firearm sales must be
conducted through an FFL dealer or directly to a person who has a
legitimate FFL. The Washington
Post
blog is just an example of misinformation concerning any issue about
firearms. If a person wants to purchase a firearm from an online
source, they must tell the seller where to send the firearm, who has
an FFL. The FFL dealer will then accept the firearm and charge the
purchaser a handling fee ($50 to $75) – and is responsible for
running the required NCIS background check before turning over the
firearm to the buyer. The only time a background check is NOT
required in a sale is when a person having an FFL makes a purchase;
however if that firearm is then resold, the FFL person, who is
required to record the FFL firearm purchased, must follow federal
rules. This is for ALL states, including Washington state. Those
having a legal FFL have been fingerprinted, registered and had a
background check, both locally and with the feds. They must renew
their license periodically, which a new check is made at the time of
renewal – sometimes involving a visit from an ATF official to
examine the firearm recording books and other pertinent paperwork
involved with background check requirements.
I
know because I hold an up-to-date FFL for dealing/manufacturing of
firearms. For firearms, the state of Wisconsin requires, in addition
to federal requirements, that the sale of handguns be held over 48
hours and an additional check is made with the Wisconsin state
authorities, which fee is $10, charged whether the person passes the
background check or not.
The
gun control group, Everytown For Gun Safety
conducted the study and the I-594 bill passed, according to the
anti-second amendment group. Like other gun control and firearm ban
enthusiasts, they base their actions upon mass shootings; which is
not the fault of the Second Amendment or law abiding firearm owners –
but society itself. They document mass shootings but ignore the
myriad of daily incidents where lives are saved by using firearms for
defense. It would be against their agenda to do so.
The
author of the article and the anti-firearm group failed to realize
that those sales, despite being personal sales, must use the postal
system, which requires an FFL purchase form that shows the buyer has
passed a background check.
In
the article, the author lists the following online dealers:
Armslist
– this site begins with a terms of use agreement that you must
agree to before entering the site. It runs ads for personal firearms
for sale or trade in 50 states.
Northwest Firearms
– It sells non-firearm items, like clothing and decals. It is a
forum, not a firearm selling site whose mission
statement states: NorthwestFirearms.com
was founded based on these three goals …
Communication, Organization, Advocacy. It
does not sell firearms – it is a forum.
Outdoor Trader – It runs classified ads and is a forum. It lists places to shop by
state and offers products other than firearms directing buyers
elsewhere. It has a separate ODT Store that sells T-shirts.
Washington Gun Trader– A forum that offers to post ads for people who want to sell
items. The site sells non-firearm items.
Gun Listings
-Classified ads by state.
The
loophole is allegedly at these websites, but if you visit it, you
find nothing that the group that helped pass I-594 and the subject of
their “study”. Using fear in their politics, they use emotion as
a tool, instead of logic and can count on a majority of the people
not researching their findings to learn the truth – that they
manipulate what is true or just plain lie.
The
gun control nuts are trying to say that they found a loophole that
the FBI-NICS-ATF is not aware of or have countered with regulation.
Just
like blaming firearms for the ills of society, they now falsely blame
the system that the gun control enthusiasts established back in the
1960s, after the JFK assassination. Ironically, that assassination
and the Brady incident would still have happened with a background
check in place and the myriad of gun control regulations and laws
placed ever since. Especially since historical investigators have
determined that Lyndon B. Johnson orchestrated the tragic incident,
along with the assassination of Robert Kennedy. His personality and
ego matched the accusations.
Among the identifiable buyers who sought weapons through online portals in Washington, several had been convicted of a domestic violence crime or were under a restraining order. Others were convicted felons, with rap sheets ranging from car theft to rape, burglary and robbery.
Not one of its claims is linked to any source, except the bias
Everytown for Gun Safety and the I-594
bill Washington state legislator passed is pretty much an echo of federal ATF regulations concerning firearm sales and
background checks. The good thing about the bill is that those
private parties that comply with background check requirements are
exempt from sales tax. However, it counters procedures of FFL dealers
who play middle person in dealing with firearm sales – required by
federal law. The bill also has exceptions, which can be ruled as the
very 'loophole(s)' that the bill is supposed to counter –
exceptions are:
- Gifts between immediate family members.
- Antiques and relics.
- Temporary transfers for self-defense.
- Loans for lawful hunting or sporting activities.
Media
Matters has accused the gun lobby media of downplaying the
“victory” of I-594 …
In an attempt to spin the unfavorable outcome, conservative media and the NRA are offering weak arguments to downplay the significance of this major victory for gun safety advocates:
1. The Background Check Ballot Initiative Won, But Not By Enough
2. There Is An Equivalence Between I-594 And A Largely Uncontested Pro-Gun Alabama Ballot Measure
In an October 14 seven-minute-long NRA advertisement, opponents of I-594 tell the camera "background checks don't have anything to do with" the ballot initiative and instead it is about "universal gun registration," "collecting a database of gun owners" and "confiscation of my guns." A Washington sheriff ominously adds, "The American people will stand up because the day that you try to come and take those rights away from me is the day that I will fight you," while another man falsely says I-594 would mean "you can't lend a gun to a friend to go hunting."There is much confusion on both sides of the argument; however, it never helps with posts like the aforementioned blog. There are also repugnant people on both sides of the political fence and social forum who give any advocacy a bad name, like quotes from Tweets and comments printed Mo Jo, the mother of American socialist propaganda media.
The Republicans have won the majority in Congress, let us hope that their political spearhead and political platform is reinstating the constitutional republic instead of just slowing down the drive to turn America into a democratic-socialist regime ruled by the elite of hypocrisy and double standards.
