After the firestorm created by Jim Zumbo, and light shining on H.R. 1022, it occured to me that not only are we, gun owners, under attack, the Constitution of this country is under attack. And those that are trying to nullify our Constitution are those very same people who are trying to nullify our Second Amendment rights.

I refer to them as Liberal Marxist Socialists. Some others call them Democrats or Secular Progressives. Others call them, me included, names and terms that I can’t use here. But their agenda is all the same, total domination of the American public and making the Constitution just a piece of paper with writing on it.

Why would the LMS’s want to outlaw guns? Not a question that has a simple answer. First, they want to disarm the American population, because a tyrannical government can’t function as long as the masses have a means to fight back. This was understood by our Founding Fathers, and the “right to keep and bear arms” was added to the Constitution.

Their philosophy is grounded in socialist and communist theories, and have been successfully utilized by various regimes/governments around the world. Do the names Stalin, Lenin, Castro, and Hitler mean anything to you? Did/do they ride rough shod over their citizens? I use the term ‘citizen’ loosely here, because it is MY feeling that a citizen can have a firearm. A ’subject’ cannot.

Between Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, almost 25 million people have lost their lives due to the ambitions of these three “leaders.” Lenin and Stalin killed, primarily, their own people. Hitler, though he did kill some of his own “citizens,” it should be remembered that those Germans were either Jews or Catholics. As his armies conquered and occupied other European countries, those of Jewish faith were rounded up and shipped off to Dachau and Auschwitz among other camps for death. The one other thing that all three of them had in common was that they disarmed the citizenry. Is that any different from what our LMS elected representatives are attempting to do to us?

They have managed to take control of our higher education system, using the classroom and threat of failing grades to indoctrinate their “students.” They have taken over control, to a large degree the media, both electronic and print. They pass legislation at national, state, county, and local levels that mandate certain behaviors and attitudes that we all seem to shake our heads at but never protest. Judges, appointed by LMS types are now making law, not enforcing it. Check out the Ninth Circuit in California if you think I’m kidding.

I’m currently in the process of gathering some quotes from Carolyn McCarthy and others of her ilk, that are quoted by the press, but are outright lies that could be easily checked for the facts, but aren’t. Instead, they are parroted.

I have yet to hear back from the NRA about the question concerning Sen. Diane Feinstein’s status as a U.S. Deputy Marshall. I have contacted her office by email, and phone, and have not received a reply or a cogent answer to either query. If they are that hesitant to answer that question, I have to believe that it is true….but that is just MY opinion. As soon as I have a response, I’ll post it here.

OTHER THINGS TO REPORT

In past posts I have spoken of a friend of mine who gives away starter rifles and shotguns to youngsters who don’t have one, and whose parents don’t own firearms. Well, he shipped one to me to give to a neighbor boy. It arrived late last week, and is one of the NEF combo guns. A single shot 22 rifle barrel, and a 410 gauge single shotgun barrel. Comes in a very nice nylon carrying case with slots for both barrels and receiver.

Saturday morning, Alex, and his dad came over at my invitation. When I handed it to him, I thought he was going to wet his pants. His dad knew what was going on, since I had already talked it over with him. Had the room been dark, I would have needed sunglasses to protect my eyes from the brightness of HIS eyes and smile.

Rules are, it stays at my house. He has to learn all the safety rules for handling and shooting a firearm. He has to learn how to assemble and disassemble it. He has to learn how to clean and oil it. After that, I’m taking him and his dad to the range for a session of shooting it. When his dad gets a secure storage place for it…and no, not the closet, it gets to move to his house.

I’ve already gotten him a cleaning kit and a brick of 22 shells for it, and am looking forward to teaching him about the gun, how to work it, and teaching him how to shoot.

As with keeping all our elected officials in line, we also all have an obligation to introduce our sports to the next generation and the one after that.
