Guns and Liberty

Without guns in the hands of the average citizen, there never would have been an America. A republic such as ours could not have been imagined and strived for without rifles and munition in the hands of ordinary and liberty leaning citizens...

"The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." -Noah Webster

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...The great object is that every man be armed." -Patrick Henry

"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them." -U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story from the 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States

The following quotes are from the New American Magazine, Fall/Winter 1994, Article entitled 'Insurance For Liberty' by Robert W. Lee:

"In one country after another during this century, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes have used gun registration records to confiscate firearms from those who might otherwise threaten their rule."

"Julio Rabel, who with his family escaped from Cuba in 1961, told the Post that under Batista the "owner of any gun, had to register it with the police, contained not only the make, number and description of the gun, but also the owner's picture and fingerprints. Thus it was a simple matter for Castro's men to collect every gun in the country."

Regarding Hitler's stranglehold on German freedoms:
"On November 11,1938, further regulations regarding the possession of weapons by Jews were issued, which asserted that Jews "are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons."

"Hitler's program of domestic disarmament served him well. Simkin and Zelman note that the "only armed effort to overturn the Nazis- an attempt to kill Hitler on 20 July 1944- was launched by disenchanted Nazi insiders, not by ordinary people."

"During the Warsaw Uprising of August-October 1944, resisters in the Polish Underground held an entire Nazi division at bay while armed with only ten or so handguns (the Nazis apparently did not realize how few guns were involved). As many as a thousand persons were able to escape with their lives before the rebellion was quelled."

Indiana Newspaper exploiting Gun Owners...

http://www.infowars.com/newspaper-establishes-registered-gun-database-equates-gun-owners-to-sex-offenders/

"Anyone who visits the newspaper website will be able to search the number of permits on a given street or neighborhood. Although at this point the names and house numbers are not listed, the newspaper’s website treats law-abiding Indiana gun owners like sex offenders on a searchable database."

“This week, HeraldTimesOnline.com will launch its new gun permit database. You’ll be able to search gun permit records by county, city or town and street.”

Obama the Ninja is coming for your guns!

http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-lies-again-supports-lautenberg-gun-ban.html

OBAMA LIES:
Obama said “I’m not going to take your guns away” and “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear…I think people can take me at my word.”

"Obama and the White House have now publicly joined Lautenberg as he seeks to ban guns from 1,000,000 US citizens on a secret FBI terrorist watch list.

Lautenberg’ bill S.1317 would give the Attorney General Holder the discretion to block gun sales to people on terror watch lists. We must defeat this bill from giving extraordinary powers to limit gun sales to the Attorney General."

Attorney General Holder aggressively detailed the Obama anti-gun agenda in Holder’s public statements before the Senate Judiciary Committee:

• Holder wants national, permanent gun registration system.
• Holder wants new federal authority to prohibit any person on the Federal watch list (reported to be 400,000 names) from buying guns and supports confiscating guns from those on the list who possess them.

THE TEN PLANKS OF SOCIALISM:
as written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in 1848.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.

Obama and his goons are coming for your guns!

http://www.infowars.com/new-york-congress-critters-attorney-general-holder-move-against-second-amendment/

"Senator Gillibrand and Representative McCarthy have introduced the Gun Trafficking Prevention Act of 2009. Ostensibly designed to prosecute gun traffickers, the bill would also deny the Second Amendment to anybody on the so-called terror watch list. The legislation is supported by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, and the Brady Campaign.

The number of unique names on the U.S. terror watch list totals 400,000, newly released FBI data reveals. The Washington Post reported that during a 12-month period ending in March of this year, 1,600 people were nominated daily by the U.S. intelligence community to be put on the list due to ‘reasonable suspicion.’"

Obama Admin.and the United Nations team up to destroy the 2nd Amendment

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=116041

"Gun rights supporters are up in arms over a pair of moves the White House made last month to reverse longstanding U.S. policy and begin negotiating a gun control treaty with the United Nations."

"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton first announced on Oct. 14 that the U.S. had changed its stance and would support negotiations of an Arms Trade Treaty to regulate international gun trafficking, a measure the Bush administration and, notably, former Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations John Bolton opposed for years"

"Two weeks ago, in another reversal of policy, the U.S. joined a nearly unanimous 153-1 U.N. vote to adopt a resolution setting out a timetable on the proposed Arms Trade Treaty, including a U.N. conference to produce a final accord in 2012. "

"Bolton not only agrees with Barr's assessment but also sees the treaty as an Obama administration end-run around the Constitution:"

"After the treaty is approved and it comes into force, you will find out that it has this implication or that implication and it requires the Congress to adopt some measure that restricts ownership of firearms," he said. "The administration knows it cannot obtain this kind of legislation purely in a domestic context. … They will use an international agreement as an excuse to get domestically what they couldn't otherwise.""

"All over America demand for firearms and ammunition is rising amid concerns that rising unemployment, which passed 10 per cent this month, will lead inexorably to higher rates of crime. Fears of terrorism have also helped to lift demand, as have concerns among gun owners that the Obama Administration may introduce restrictions on gun ownership and impose additional taxes.

Mike Golden, chief executive at Smith and Wesson, is sceptical about the so-called Obama effect on gun sales, believing that his company’s booming revenues have “nothing to do with the administration” and everything to do with the economy.

Smith & Wesson’s hunting rifle sales in 2009 dropped about 33 per cent at a time when the company’s other gun sales — revolvers, pistols, Walther imports, and tactical rifles — grew 33 per cent,” he said.

Even though some experts believe that the gun bubble may be about to burst, with a slowdown in the rate of sales growth, such a view is not shared across the industry."

I think the increase in gun and ammunition sales is due to the crazed way in which Obama and his goons are seizing power and destroying American Civil Liberties.

The writing is on the wall. The American Dollar will fail. There is talk about Global Initiatives, Global Government, and the American President continues to tour the world bowing to Foreign Leadership and praising a religion which frightens most Americans.

Obama is coming for your guns...

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015

"On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms."

Gold is over $1,100 dollars, there is increased talk among American Politicians and World Leaders for a New World Order and a call for Global Governance, America continues to invade the Middle East, the American Dollar is dropping in value, private businesses continue to receive Bailout Money, there is a hyped Swine Flu Crisis, and the Democrats are attempting to destroy the last profitable industry in America=Healthcare.

Ammunition and gun sales are up, more and more people are attending protests and calling their representatives, there is a growing distrust of the Federal Govt, and now the wheels are being to turn to disarm Americans.

This has all happened before. Watch the movie entitled 'Harvest of Despair'. Russia and China both became Socialist/Fascist countries through unprecedented grabs for power executed quickly with the promises of change and hope for the common citizens...
Harvest of Despair:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3897393411603039499#

"Stalin instituted a program of collectivisation of agriculture, which profoundly affected Ukraine, often referred to as the "breadbasket of the USSR". In the late 1920s and early '30s the state combined the peasants' lands and animals into collective farms. Starting in 1929 a policy of enforcement was applied, using regular troops and secret police to confiscate lands and materials where necessary."

Many resisted, and a desperate struggle by the peasantry against the authorities ensued. Some slaughtered their livestock rather than turn it over to the collectives. Wealthier peasants were labeled "kulaks", enemies of the state. Tens of thousands were executed and about 100,000 families were deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan.

The precise number of Ukrainians murdered by Stalin's custom-made famine and firing squads remains unknown to this day. The KGB's archives, and recent work by Russian historians, show at least seven million died. Ukrainian historians put the figure at nine million, or higher. Twenty-five percent of Ukraine's population was exterminated in what is known as the Holodomor or Ukrainian Holocaust."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine

Gun Confiscation in America:




In 1911, Turkey established gun control.
From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1928, Germany established gun control.
From 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.
From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1935, China established gun control.
From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents were unable to defend themselves and were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1956, Cambodia established gun control.
From 1975 to1977, one million "educated" people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1964, Guatemala established gun control.
From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1970, Uganda established gun control.
From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

That places total victims who lost their lives — because they were unable to defend their liberty — at approximately 56 million in the 20th century.

The TN Firearms Freedom Association will be hosting
convicted ATF felon Richard Hamblen to speak at their next meeting!


Mr. Hamblen is a legend within the firearms community having spent 14 months in a federal prison after being convicted of building and possessing his own firearms. It is worth noting that Mr. Hamblen has a degree in Greek and Latin from the prestigious Vanderbilt University (Summa Cum Laude), was an officer in the US Army, and was a Battalion Commander within the TN State Guard.

Upon learning how woefully under equipped the Tennessee State Guard (which was created by law as an armed reserve force for the National Guard) was (21 rifles for 3,500 individuals) Rich manufactured weapons for himself and his soldiers. His actions resulted in the involvement of the ATF, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court and a prison sentence. His case details the conflicts between US vs. Miller and Heller vs. DC and ultimately questions how the Second Amendment is being interpreted.

Richard notes that his case is “ostensibly about guns” it’s really about “the Constitution and the utter contempt in which the Federal Government holds it.”

Great Link on the Dangers of Gun Control

http://realestatedecline.com/gunrights.htm

The Obama Adminstration will try to disarm America, it is only a matter of time...

“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.” – George Washington

“As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it.” – Barack Obama

Reloader's Bench

http://legallyarmed.com/resources/civilunrest2.htm


The above link takes you to an article about civil unrest and preparedness.

http://legallyarmed.com/reloaders.htm

Check out the Reloader's Bench in Mt. Juliet, TN...Seems like an honest place to purchase weapons/ammunition and the site has tons of good advice...

Stock up while you can

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6633316.html

"Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stocking up on ammo, in part because they fear President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation — even though nothing specific has been proposed"

"Gun sales spiked when it became clear Obama would be elected a year ago and purchases continued to rise in his first few months of office."

“Without bullets a gun is just a paper weight.”

“I call it the Obama effect,” said Gregory, 37, of Terrytown, La. “It always happens when the Democrats get in office. It happened with Clinton and Obama is even stronger for gun control. Ammunition will be the first step, so I’m stocking up while I can.”

The above link takes you to an article detailing the increased demand for bullets since Obama's Election. The article fails to mention we are involved in two Endless Wars which is probably another reason ammunition is scarce and prices are inflated. Nevertheless, Americans feel there is something very wrong with today's Administration. In fact, I would bet most Americans have had this gut instinct for quite some time.

Having a good stock of ammunition, food, water, and medical supplies doesn't make you a cultist or extremist..It just means you are prepared and self-sufficient. I am sure everyone has told their children the parable of the ant or squirrel who played all summer and starved during the winter.

Another fact the report failed to mention is that the Obama Administration has hinted towards gun control..He just hasn't got to it yet..First he has to finish wrecking our economy by using our tax payer dollars to bailout private businesses, obtain further control/regulation of Health care, and play King of the Hill at the United Nations...Then he'll get around to taking our guns and ammo away...

Diane Feinstein:

"I wouldn't bring it up now...I'll pick the time and place..no question about that" (referring to passing legislation to ban assault weapons)

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
1: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
2: Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent..
3: Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent.

Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns.

The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we're 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends. The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

Every state has different laws regarding open and concealed handgun carry permits...I think that Open Carry is generally a good thing. As a right established in the Constitution, Americans should carry their firearms to Healthcare rallies..They should carry them to Krogers, Kmart, the backyard, around the block, the bowling alley, on vacation...It is our right guaranteed by the Constitution to 'bear arms'. Crazed liberals hype stories of gun toting right wing extremists to demonize opposition to Obama and to paint guns as evil and wicked.

"...He instead asked the driver if he had a gun, where it was, inquired as to his NRA membership status, etc.

I'm sure this strange line of questioning had absolutely nothing to do with the two 2nd Amendment bumper stickers and American flag on the back of his truck, right? Well, that question was answered when the poor man asked if everyone was treated this way and the officer answered "no", while indicating the stickers. The victim answered every one of the civil servant's questions honestly, and then had his gun confiscated." (EMPHASIS MINE)

"There is no reason for anyone in this country, anyone except a police officer or a military person, to buy, to own, to have, to use a handgun. I used to think handguns could be controlled by laws about registration, by laws requiring waiting periods for purchasers, by laws making sellers check out the past of buyers. I now think the only way to control handgun use in this country is to prohibit the guns. And the only way to do that is to change the Constitution."
