IRS, Gun Control, and a Fair Tax System

Lois Lerner, former IRS official will not be charged with contempt of Congress by the Justice Department despite the fact she refused to testify at a congressional hearing investigating her role in denying or delaying applications for tax-exempt status of the Tea Party and organizations for limited government. It comes to no surprise because government officials are rarely prosecuted for clear violations of the people's liberties and/or unethical misconduct; yet federal prosecutors process criminal charges against whistleblowers. John Kiriakou is a good example. He was a whistleblower concerning the CIA's use of torture and was the only one prosecuted.

In the News: State Legislation and National Firearm Topics (Mar 2015)

Florida [Palm Beach Post] … the Florida state senate approved a bill that will allow people fleeing from disaster to carry their firearms with them legally. The bill ensures that what happened during the Hurricane Katrina disaster in Louisiana circumstance where national guard and local law enforcement went house-to-house collecting firearms and confiscated firearms from people leaving the area by motor vehicle or boat – clearly a Second Amendment violation. President GW Bush did nothing about it and the media ignored it. The bill is heading for final passage in the House that gives people permission to carry firearms without a concealed weapons permit for the first 48 hours following a mandatory evacuation order. Once citizens are housed in a shelter, firearm carry policies apply. People will have to find refuge other than schools and public buildings if they intend to bring their firearms with them because of the no tolerance policies of those places.

Michael Bloomberg: Advocate of Hypocrisy and Tyranny, Icon of the "One Percent"

Bloomberg Gun Control
Michael Bloomberg is a very wealthy man who devotes his life to interfering with other lives. He has put millions of dollars in a campaign against the Second Amendment (and other amendments), who was once the mayor of New York City. While he has person armed security personnel protecting him, he demands that other citizens not be afforded the opportunity to defend themselves. He has also been an advocate of putting himself and government in charge as to what people can and cannot eat, like the food police program of Michelle Obama.

In the News: Michigan and New York

Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan vetoed two pro-gun bills that would have rescinded the need for Michigan's system of county gun boards who oversee conceal carry permits. While both bills passed the state legislature, the governor was allegedly persuaded to not sign the bill, despite the ability to decommission the useless and costly boards and measures that would reduce permit costs and improved the state's permit renewal process. It is a case of government with power beyond limitations that refuses to reform despite proof of a problem in the system.
An email from Governor Snyder to Guns.com stated:
While the bills include a number of reforms I support, they also include changes to he concealed pistol licensing requirements that may increase the risks of violence and intimidation faced by victims of domestic abuse who seek protection in court.

Big Government, Big Brother Scenario in Anti-Gun Video

Charles Cook shows a compelling anti-gun video at that depicts what has been predicted - federal control of our education system is turning our children into 'patriots' of the state, where children turn in their parents. 
In this case, the mother exercises her Second Amendment rights to protect her dwelling, herself, and her son. And where does such things end? 
Michael Bloomberg not only wants to take away Second Amendment rights, but other rights - like what you drink and eat. Where does Big Government end and rights and liberties begin? Freedom of choice is part of the natural law that Thomas Jefferson was talking about in the Declaration of Independence. 
People like those supporting the PSA and other gun-control movements think that if firearms are outlawed and citizens do not have them that violent crime will go away. In countries that forbid firearms that concept is blown out of the water with reality; as well as here in the United States.
Big Brother government is heading our way, just like the novel 1984, unless We the People insist that the constitutional republic be returned in the manner and form that the Founders created - not what the political and social elite wants everyone to do. 
The hypocrisy of the leftist cult today is clearly defined in the Samuel L. Jackson PSA video, an actor who has performed violence on the screen like that in Pulp Fiction. Or how about Django Unchained?

Fiscal Year 2015: Important Provisions in Legislation Sponsored by NRA

Congress approved the Fiscal Year 2015 Appropriations Act, but what few people know is that several pro-gun provisions were included in the Act. It regards something called Operation Choke Point to prevent the Obama administration from implementing its anti-firearm agenda.
It disallows the Department of Justice from intimidating financial institutions or severing financial services to legally-operating ammunition and firearm dealers. The bloody carnage caused by Eric Holder's Fast-N-Furious program like the 2013 gang assault on a Phoenix, Arizona apartment complex where the weapon used (AK-47) was part of that program.

Political Dueling, Gun Control and Media Bias

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.

Anti-Gun Activists Proven Wrong Again

States that have adopted concealed carry policies and states, like Mississippi, that do not require a permit for open carry have defied the predictions of doomsday gun controlling morons.
According to a report in the Mississippi Clarion-Ledger, one year after it became lawful to open carry, there have been no “Wild West” gun fights. Mississippi lawmakers that amended the state's definition of a concealed firearm by enacting House Bill 2 in 2013.

Republicans Vote For Poorly-Written Legislation

If people had the same attitude about flying in airplanes as they do with firearms – few would fly.
The recent action in the House of Representatives is a perfect example of why bills should not be folded into other bills – but stand on their own.

History of Gun Control

Gun control is NOT for the good of the People; it is for the good of those operating government. It is good for tyrants who want control of the People by taking away means of their defense as well as the freedom to speak out against tyranny.
Firearm registration leads to firearm confiscation. It is a method of making it easier to find and confiscate firearms from lawful citizens – the beginning of the end to civil rights and liberties.

H.R. 2247: The Collectible Firearms Protection Act

M1 Garand rifles were loaned out to South Korea in the 1950s and then in the 1960s sold to the South Korean government. An importer, discovering that the 87, 310 M1 Garand and 770,160 M1 Carbines were no longer needed because South Korea produces and has updated their rifle inventory (M16), so tried to sell them to the importer who wanted to bring the historical rifles back to the US and sell them like the popular Mauser bolt-action rifle and other European historical-collectible rifles and handguns – like the German Luger.

Progressive Gun Control Like UN: Liars & Hypocrites

Remember the arguments of the Progressives who stated that if the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms was written in 1776, then only firearms from that period should be authorized, not the AR-15? Among other situations of insanity ...

Congressman Ellison and His Oath of Office

Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim to be elected to Congress, who has a Christian name, but a Muslim – opposite of Barack Hussein Obama has a Muslim name and insists he is a Christian – stated in an interview with raging progressive, Bill Maher, that he wishes Democrats would come out in opposition to the Second Amendment.
But he also stated, as it seemed he could not quite make up his mind … I don't think you have got to eliminate ownership of all guns in order to get some common sense gun rules.

Senator Dianne Feinstein: Continues Crusade Against Firearms and 2nd Amendment

US Senator Dianne Feinstein, the infamous member of Congress whose unrelenting crusade against the Second Amendment and firearms, sponsoring the Federal assault weapon and magazine ban between 1994 and 2004 (and still has a seat in Congress) is now asking President Obama to have the BATFE to reinterpret a provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968 to prohibit the importation of various semi-auto firearms and their parts. Daily Caller reported that “at a minimum” Feinstein wants the BATFE to:
prohibit importation of all semiautomatic rifles that can accept, or be readily converted to accept, a large capacity ammunition magazine of more than 10 rounds . . . . prohibit semiautomatic rifles with fixed magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, prohibit the importation of the frame or receiver of any prohibited rifle . . . . prohibit the practice of importing assault rifles in parts …prohibit the use of a "thumbhole" stock . . . . and prohibit the importation of assault pistols.

Ronald Reagan: Gun Control, Second Amendment, and Immigration

Ronald Reagan entered the 1980 presidential campaign as a supporter of the Second Amendment and its right to keep and bear arms. In a Guns and Ammo magazine issue in 1975, Ronald Reagan wrote:
In my opinion, proposals to outlaw or confiscate guns are simply unrealistic panacea.
His ideology was that violent crime would never be eliminated, with or without gun control. He was in favor of laws that targeted those who misuse firearms. He added:
The Second Amendment leaves little, if any, leeway for the gun control advocate … the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America to survive.

New York Continues to Ignore Constitutional Law

Patriot Post reported:
Buffalo Federal District Court Judge William Skretny upheld New York's anti-gun “SAFE” Act – the post-Sandy Hook bill that banned standard-capacity magazines as well as semi-automatic rifles that look scary. Skretny said the law is just fine because it serves to “further the state's important interest in public safety.” Unbelievably, he also wrote that gun control “is not a judicial question; it is a political one.” Wrong. It's a question of Rule of Law – either the Constitution means what it says or politicians can do whatever they please. The case is no doubt headed to the Second Circuit, where we hope constitutional sanity prevails. 
Selling the Second Amendment.
How can a federal district judge not understand/know that gun control violates the Second Amendment to the US Constitution? A political question?
Banning firearms because they "look scary" is as senseless as most who serve [pretent to serve the People] in Washington, DC.

Will Magpul Industries Make Big Move Out of Colorado?

Magpul Industries Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of polymer firearms accessories and custom-concept firearms. Gunsmiths who make custom AR15 type rifles for customers use Magpul parts and accessories because of their quality. The company is located in Erie, Colorado providing jobs for 200 employees.
In March of 2013, despite Colorado majority public opposition, the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee and State Senate voted to advance the most extreme gun control legislation in Colorado history. They voted to advance the following anti-firearm bills:
  • House Bill 224: Bans magazines with a capacity greater than fifteen rounds.
  • Senate Bill 196: Holds all manufacturers, distributors and owners of any rifle, excluding bolt action, they produce, sell or use, liable if that gun is misused to harm another person. [Note that the definition in the bill of an “assault weapon” includes a single shot or double-barreled shotgun and any break-open single-shot rifle as well as every semi-automatic rifle and shotgun].
  • House Bill 1226: Repeals current law allowing individuals with a concealed carry permit to carry a firearm for self-defense on a college or university campus.
  • House Bill 1228: Imposes a “gun tax” for a background check when purchasing a firearm. [Like Wisconsin does for handgun purchases]
  • House Bill 1229: Criminalizes the private transfer of a firearm.

Legislation Alert: Tax and Spend Continues

Still in committee, the August 2013 HR 3018: Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013 intends to:
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the excise tax and special occupational tax in respect of firearms and to increase the transfer tax on any other weapon, and for other purposes.
If they cannot legislate away firearm bans, the sociocrats will tax it, like tobacco products, in order to prevent anyone from being able to afford purchasing certain products - those government officials believe citizens should not have or use. Like SUV, soft drinks, snack foods or whatever they decide next.
