    The "New" Gun Control ...



    Listen to Diane Feinstein’s own words on gun ownership. What a hypocrite this woman is.

    Draw your own conclusions about the usefulness of guns. The George Soros backed progressive liberal left MSM as well as Diane Feinstein and her ilk would have you believe otherwise.

    From the Washington Times: A summary of Mrs. Feinstein’s legislation is below.
    Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of: 120 specifically-named firearms; certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.

    $387Bn Congressional Study Proves ‘Pen Not Mightier Than The Sword’
    24 January 2013 | by Merrick


    WASHINGTON, D.C. – A newly released study conducted by Congress has proven once and for all that the pen is not mightier than the sword. Over a year long period, Special Operation Forces (SOF) serving in Afghanistan were outfitted with pens as their primary weapon of engagement, instead of the standard M-4 assault rifle.

    The $387 billion study was the brainchild of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D), a member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. “Military spending has spiraled out of control,” Sen. Feinstein explained to Duffel Blog reporters. “Since the pen is mightier than the sword, as the saying goes, why not equip the military with inexpensive pens? When deciding on the cost of weapons used by soldiers to defend their lives, we must keep the taxpayers welfare in mind.”

    “Not only that — no one needs a military-style, semi-automatic assault rifle to hunt Taliban,” she added.

    A small number of Army Special Forces and Navy SEAL teams, operating in the most hazardous areas of Afghanistan, were hand selected for the study due to their expertise in using exotic weapons.

    The study initially garnered promising results. “One positive I discovered early on was I could hide the pen in my beard,” said Mike, an Army Special Forces soldier who asked only to be identified by his first name. “I usually had five or six hidden in there. It’s not the first time my beard saved my life.”

    Complaints began to surface when it was discovered military procurement officers supplied the SOF teams with equipment from the lowest contract bidder. “We were issued worthless, plastic Bic pens” said Jake, a Navy SEAL. “We ended up dipping into our pockets and springing for Cross pens. The sturdier material allowed us to stab the carotid artery, killing an enemy outright. Usually, it resulted in a pissed off Afghan with a pen sticking out of his neck.”

    The study has been deemed inconclusive due to the small number of surviving participants. Of the forty-five SOF members, only two remained to provide sufficient feedback to researchers.

    Even though many have considered the study a failure, the bravery of the SOF members was unquestioned. Three bronze stars for valor (posthumous), five silver stars (posthumous), and ten distinguished service crosses (posthumous) were awarded during the year long study. Twenty-five Medals of Honor are expected to be awarded, posthumously, to family members in the coming months.

    Despite the losses, Senator Feinstein remains steadfast in her pursuit of curbing military spending. “A soldier in the Marines once told me they can do more with less. That’s the attitude the entire military should adopt. In a time where taxpayers are suffering from these outrageous military budgets, we must all make sacrifices.”

    Senator Feinstein declined further questions clarifying where budget cuts would be made, citing a need to vote on a bill approving Congressional pay raises for the next fiscal year. Pentagon planners are also considering issuing swords to combat troops as their weapon of choice.

    Joe Biden’s gun tip of the day: You don’t need an ‘assault weapon’ for home protection
    — just get yourself a double-barrel shotgun

    By Doug Powers • January 24, 2013 04:30 PM


    Sheriff Joe Biden held what was billed as a Fireside Gaffe Hangout today on gun control. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...icle-1.1246228

    A question for Biden revolved around protecting ones life and property from people trying to take advantage during a disaster (i.e. earthquake, flood, a Biden presidency). Joe’s recommendation was three simple words: Shotgun.

    Double barrel to be specific. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/...medium=twitter

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=wcxVovpJdi8

    What if the number of people simultaneously descending upon you is greater than the number of barrels on your shotgun? Look for Joe to start pushing a “Give Your Victims Time to Reload Their Double Barrel Shotguns” act that would legally require criminals to fight fair.

    In other gun news, today during Dianne Feinstein’s introduction of a bill to ban “assault weapons,” Democrat Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said that “if guns aren’t in stores, they can’t be bought.” http://twitchy.com/2013/01/24/rep-ca...ant-be-bought/ ( yeah ... that’s why it isn’t possible to buy meth.... )

    [i]comments

    They do not get it do they? In all honesty, we’ve allowed the Joe Biden’s of the democratic party to frame the argument. They’ve always said it’s about hunting and that led to their “assault rifle” ban and we went with their explanation. It’s not about hunting, it’s about defending yourself against tyranny.

    ..

    99.99% of the time, an assault rifle isn’t needed for home defense. Likewise, 99.99% percent of the time, a fire extinguisher is not needed for home protection either. Does that mean that he wants to outlaw fire extinguishers? People buy fire extinguishers “just in case”, hoping they’ll never need to use them; which oddly enough, is the same reason people buy assault rifle lookalikes for the same reason. (Most people can’t afford the high 4 digit on up prices and paperwork to buy an actual assault rifle.)

    What an assault rifle is actually needed for is this case:


    If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government,

    “The State shall take, the State shall give”: the Marxist subtext of gun control

    David Mamet, on liberty and gun control. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newswee...vid-mamet.html Happily, he hits many of the same points I’ve hit over the past several weeks — which I note as “happily” because it makes me feel smart and urbane to be on the side of the estimable Mr Mamet. That, and it suggests that somewhere down the road I might be able to write a really cool screenplay about some elaborate con, and maybe even swap cleverly fraught asides with Rebecca Pidgeon:


    Healthy government, as that based upon our Constitution, is strife. It awakens anxiety, passion, fervor, and, indeed, hatred and chicanery, both in pursuit of private gain and of public good. Those who promise to relieve us of the burden through their personal or ideological excellence, those who claim to hold the Magic Beans, are simply confidence men. Their emergence is inevitable, and our individual opposition to and rejection of them, as they emerge, must be blunt and sure; if they are arrogant, willful, duplicitous, or simply wrong, they must be replaced, else they will consolidate power, and use the treasury to buy votes, and deprive us of our liberties. It was to guard us against this inevitable decay of government that the Constitution was written. Its purpose was and is not to enthrone a Government superior to an imperfect and confused electorate, but to protect us from such a government.


    Many are opposed to private ownership of firearms, and their opposition comes under several heads. Their specific objections are answerable retail, but a wholesale response is that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. On a lower level of abstraction, there are more than 2 million instances a year of the armed citizen deterring or stopping armed criminals; a number four times that of all crimes involving firearms.

    The Left loves a phantom statistic that a firearm in the hands of a citizen is X times more likely to cause accidental damage than to be used in the prevention of crime, but what is there about criminals that ensures that their gun use is accident-free? If, indeed, a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors, would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals, and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes, and yet the government, of course, is arming criminals.

    Violence by firearms is most prevalent in big cities with the strictest gun laws. In Chicago and Washington, D.C., for example, it is only the criminals who have guns, the law-abiding populace having been disarmed, and so crime runs riot.

    Cities of similar size in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and elsewhere, which leave the citizen the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed in the Constitution, typically are much safer. More legal guns equal less crime. What criminal would be foolish enough to rob a gun store? But the government alleges that the citizen does not need this or that gun, number of guns, or amount of ammunition.

    But President Obama, it seems, does.

    He has just passed a bill that extends to him and his family protection, around the clock and for life, by the Secret Service. He, evidently, feels that he is best qualified to determine his needs, and, of course, he is. As I am best qualified to determine mine.

    For it is, again, only the Marxists who assert that the government, which is to say the busy, corrupted, and hypocritical fools most elected officials are (have you ever had lunch with one?) should regulate gun ownership based on its assessment of needs.


    Q. Who “needs” an assault rifle?


    A. No one outside the military and the police. I concur.


    An assault weapon is that which used to be called a “submachine gun.” That is, a handheld long gun that will fire continuously as long as the trigger is held down.

    These have been illegal in private hands (barring those collectors who have passed the stringent scrutiny of the Federal Government) since 1934. Outside these few legal possessors, there are none in private hands. They may be found in the hands of criminals. But criminals, let us reflect, by definition, are those who will not abide by the laws. What purpose will passing more laws serve?

    My grandmother came from Russian Poland, near the Polish city of Chelm. Chelm was celebrated, by the Ashkenazi Jews, as the place where the fools dwelt. And my grandmother loved to tell the traditional stories of Chelm.

    Its residents, for example, once decided that there was no point in having the sun shine during the day, when it was light out—it would be better should it shine at night, when it was dark. Similarly, we modern Solons delight in passing gun laws that, in their entirety, amount to “making crime illegal.”

    What possible purpose in declaring schools “gun-free zones”? Who bringing a gun, with evil intent, into a school would be deterred by the sign?

    Ah, but perhaps one, legally carrying a gun, might bring it into the school.

    Good.

    We need more armed citizens in the schools.

    Walk down Madison Avenue in New York. Many posh stores have, on view, or behind a two-way mirror, an armed guard. Walk into most any pawnshop, jewelry story, currency exchange, gold store in the country, and there will be an armed guard nearby. Why? As currency, jewelry, gold are precious. Who complains about the presence of these armed guards? And is this wealth more precious than our children?

    Apparently it is: for the Left adduces arguments against armed presence in the school but not in the wristwatch stores. Q. How many accidental shootings occurred last year in jewelry stores, or on any premises with armed security guards?


    Why not then, for the love of God, have an armed presence in the schools? It could be done at the cost of a pistol (several hundred dollars), and a few hours of training (that’s all the security guards get). Why not offer teachers, administrators, custodians, a small extra stipend for completing a firearms-safety course and carrying a concealed weapon to school? The arguments to the contrary escape me


    Why do I specify concealed carry? As if the weapons are concealed, any potential malefactor must assume that anyone on the premises he means to disrupt may be armed—a deterrent of even attempted violence.

    Yes, but we should check all applicants for firearms for a criminal record?

    Anyone applying to purchase a handgun has, since 1968, filled out a form certifying he is not a fugitive from justice, a convicted criminal, or mentally deficient. These forms, tens and tens of millions of them, rest, conceivably, somewhere in the vast repository. How are they checked? Are they checked? By what agency, with what monies? The country is broke. Do we actually want another agency staffed by bureaucrats for whom there is no funding?

    The police do not exist to protect the individual. They exist to cordon off the crime scene and attempt to apprehend the criminal. We individuals are guaranteed by the Constitution the right to self-defense. This right is not the Government’s to “award” us. They have never been granted it.

    The so-called assault weapons ban is a hoax. It is a political appeal to the ignorant. The guns it supposedly banned have been illegal (as above) for 78 years. Did the ban make them “more” illegal? The ban addresses only the appearance of weapons, not their operation.

    [...]


    The individual is not only best qualified to provide his own personal defense, he is the only one qualified to do so: and his right to do so is guaranteed by the Constitution.

    President Obama seems to understand the Constitution as a “set of suggestions.” I cannot endorse his performance in office, but he wins my respect for taking those steps he deems necessary to ensure the safety of his family. Why would he want to prohibit me from doing the same?

    That last would appear to be a rhetorical question. But to a leftist, there’s an alternate answer: because I can.

    I think it’s time we disabuse these leftists of that idea. If only to stop the abuse of perfectly good rhetorical questions.

    ABC News story on gun theft nominated for ‘Excellence in Axiomatic Journalism’ award
    By Doug Powers • January 27, 2013 07:19 PM

    An ABC News story entitled “Hot guns fueling crime, US study says” contains this enlightening piece of information: http://abcnews.go.com/US/hot-guns-fu...ry?id=18318610

    Video surveillance cameras caught the masked burglars red-handed, stealing rifle after rifle. Police arrested the four men, and were able to recover the guns. But all too often, stolen weapons end up in the hands of criminals.
    How I long for the good old days when only law abiding citizens stole guns.

    My son just told me about the "litmus test". They are asking all officers and certain enlisted if they will fire on Americans. If they say NO, they are asked to resign. If they do not resign, they are discharged dishonorably.
