Cleveland Mayor: Ban Guns for Under 21
Sep 10, 1:26 PM (ET)

***Begin Quote***

CLEVELAND (AP) – Cleveland’s mayor called on the state Monday to create a new law that would prohibit anyone under age 21 from possessing a firearm.

Mayor Frank Jackson’s proposal followed the shooting death last week of a 12-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet as she walked to a corner store. He noted that police statistics from 2004 to 2006 show 70 percent of those arrested for crimes involving firearms were under 28.

Under Ohio law, no one under 18 is permitted to purchase a firearm. A person must be at least 21 to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

And like a giant non sequiteur, how this helps the situation is unclear to me? Am I missing something?

End the pseudo drug war, and just like Prohibition, the collateral damage will end. We don’t see Bud and Miller shooting it out over who will sell their wares on what corner.

We have had a the “War on Drugs” for several decades now. It’s don a lot of good. We have more people in jail, more drug addiction, more shoot outs, and less treatment.

Let’s have the gooferment leave it to the marketplace to solve the problem. The gooferment should just walk away from the problem. Wonder what all the drug dealers will do when you can buy your drugs at the corner store for pennies. Best estimates that I have seen, say that MaryJane will be akin to tobacco. Other drugs will be akin to aspirin. That’s the way it was in the early 1900s. It would be a real laff to see the Columbian Drug cartel lined up against WalMart.

And, we won’t have young adults, who should know better, dead from drugs adulterated with poisons or of unknown strength.

Drug addiction is a medical problem.

Gun violence is due to the “drug prohibition” we have stupidly allowed the gooferment to enforce.

Dear Assemblyman Bill, Assemblywoman Linda, and Senator Peter:

Please impress on your colleagues that this anti-gun bills are: (a) un Constitutional; (b) immoral; (c) ineffective; and (d) inefficient. And, vote that way.

Clearly, the Second Amendment precludes Government from regulating guns. Slice it and dice it any way you want the Dead Old White Guys were right on. When you take guns away from the People, or at least try to, that sets the stage for tyranny. Just remember Nazi Germany. Disarm the citizens; death camps in the 30’s and 40’s. Governments kill people in massive quantities. I can repeat all the bumper stickers, because they are all true. But let’s stick to the one most on point. When you outlaw, guns, only outlaws will have guns. Look to England with home invasions on the rise and they still have gun killings. Criminal don’t obey laws.

It is immoral to remove the People’s Right to Self-defense. I know you’d all love to live in a world where nothing bad ever happens. But, that’s not real life. The murders on the VT campus were a DIRECT result of creating a “gun free zone”. Guess it wasn’t do “gun free”? While we can’t ever know that there would have been an armed person there if that diktat was not in effect, we KNOW positively that there wasn’t even a possibility of one with it in effect. Even a young girl or an old teacher might have been able to stop the slaughter when the nut had to reload. But the politicians and bureaucrats ensured that the shooter would have no worries about armed resistance. John Lott’s studies show the power of guns in the hands of law abiding people. It’s immoral to deny the People the protection of “sprinkling a few sheepdogs among the sheep”. Recognize that good law abiding people will defend themselves, their families, their neighbors, and even complete strangers if give a fighting chance. Only the very bravest, or the foolish, will attempt to take on a shooter unarmed. But, given a weapon, how many of those VT dead an injured would have be able to defend themselves.

Gun Laws are ineffective. The NJ Legislature has passed how many gun laws. And, taxes on guns. And, restrictions. And, and, and. Still criminals shoot people. Do you think that all the laws in the world aren’t going to help? So for example, see any 50’s being used in crimes? Oh but let’s pass a law. What’s next, “if it saves one child”? You can’t legislate a solution. Go ahead and continue to try, but it’s futile. Good people will still be good; bad bad. When you pass a gun law, you shift the balance. Less good people with guns; more bad people with guns. When the law is exceptionally stupid, you might even turn “good people” into “criminals”. Stop the insanity. Every time you pass “gun laws”, you make the People less safe. Let’s take a Rutgers co-ed. Bright young girl. You have effectively made it impossible for her to defend herself. She get raped. Who’s fault? YOURS! You didn’t trust her to know when and how to defend herself. I do. Do I think that she will suddenly lose her mind and begin blowing people away. Not likely. Might some amorous young man get threatened. Could be. One thing is for sure that young girl will be in control. And, it’s a self-nominating thing. No one says she has to carry; she can choose to. With out you legislators playing God with her life. I trust women to know when they need to use deadly force. Don’t you? I trust all my fellow citizens to know when to use deadly force. Don’t you?

The gun laws are inefficient. The costs of ownership are artificially increased by legislation. Economics teaches us that when you raise the cost, the supply demand curve shifts. Raise the taxes and fees and you deprive the poor of the good. They can’t afford it. Now I know the political elite, the rich, and the celebrities all have all the armed security they need. I’m sure that the politicians and bureaucrats get all the gun permits that they could want. How about the poor minority woman who has to walk from the bus stop to her home at night? She doesn’t deserve to be able to protect herself. She doesn’t even show up on anyone’s radar. When you eliminate cheap guns or raise their cost, exactly whose hands are you taking them out of? Not the criminal’s. Not the elite’s. Yup, that poor person is at risk.

So in summary, I urge you to vote against ALL gun regulations everywhere anytime. The criminals won’t obey. And, the law abiding, who would, aren’t the problem.

Now, would you like to talk about the “drug war”? Would you believe it too is (a) un Constitutional; (b) immoral; (c) ineffective; and (d) inefficient.

If you have to make laws, make them limiting government. You guys don’t even fasten your own seat belts, but make us.

New Jersey Update On Gun Ban Legislation!

On Thursday, May 10, the New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee decided to take no action on Assembly Bill 3494, sponsored by Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt (D-6) and Assemblyman Peter Barnes (D-18). A3494 would drastically raises all firearm license and permit fees and would allow the Superintendent of State Police the discretion to annually reconsider fees for a manufacturer or dealer license, a carry permit, the firearms purchase I.D. (FID), and the pistol purchase permits.The committee also voted 4 to 2 to amend Assembly Bill 3998, sponsored by Assemblymen Reed Gusciora (D-15), Michael Panter (D-12), and Robert Gordon (D-38), which would ban the possession of all .50 BMG rifles by declaring such items to be a destructive device.

What kind of twisted psychopath do you happen to be, Madame Mayor, Mr. Councilman, Commissioner, Legislator, Governor, Congressman, Senator, President, that you’d rather see a woman raped in an alley, and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand?

***End Quote***

Guns are the litmus test issue.

Ask a politician where he stands on the “gun issue” and if you get anything but straight Second Amendment stuff, then you have discovered their politics. They want to impose their views on you. By force, if you don’t agree to submit to their will. The Second Amendment is there for only one reason and one reason only: To allow the citizens to forcibly remove a tyrannical government!

It’s not about hunting. It’s not about permits, licensing, and background checks for “criminals”. It’s about control. The first thing a dictator does is disarm the scapegoats. The Jews learned it in Nazi Germany. And, over time countless millions get killed by “gooferment”.

The professional soldiers talk about the Fourth Generation War we are facing Iraq. Unfortunately, there will be a Fifth Generation War here as well when the citizens rise up against those in power. The politicians like their easy life with the constant shearing of sheep. Heaven help them if there are a few sheep dogs in the flock that object to being sheered.

FMPOV, even if they succeed, they will eventually fail.

Look what a handful of Jews did in Warsaw with about six guns. When the sheep decide they have had enough, and are willing to die for freedom, then the politicians better get out of Dodge quick. Revolutions fail. I remember being in school when the Hungarians revolted against the Soviets. Ever heard of a “Molotov Cocktail”? Guess where it originated. On the streets of Hungary, where young children said “no” to Soviet Oppression. Hungary is free now. It’s inevitable.

Don’t let the sheep shearers put your fangs.

Women should be “packin”. Not a cell phone, Mace, or car keys. But a nice little “girlie” gun. They should AUTOMATICALLY by being in America have one. I’m sure that the gun makers can make them in coordinating colors just like cell phones.

BATFE Killing Idaho’s Oldest Gun Shop

***Begin Quote***

Red’s Trading Post in Twin Falls, Idaho, is the state’s oldest gun shop, opened since 1936. In 2004, a routine BATFE audit revealed minor clerical errors. According to Red’s, out of nearly ten THOUSAND firearms transferred between 1996 and 2004, the alleged error rate did not even reach 1%. Even the BATFE acknowledges these are minor paperwork errors — there are no missing firearms and no willful illegal acts.

Shannon: Firearms will not be tolerated
By Jorge Milian
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 06, 2007

***Begin Quote***

CORAL GABLES — Randy Shannon has issued a straightforward warning to his University of Miami football players:

Get caught carrying a firearm and your days as a Hurricane are over.

***End Quote***

Interesting. UofM is a “state skool”. Maybe it’s not as much of one as a State University, but only Hillsdale College isn’t beholding to the gooferment.

As such, this brings up so many many issues Like separation of Government and Education? Like the proper role of “non-profit” in a civil society? Like why don’t they pay “taxes”? Like why not treat every corporation equally? Like why we permit the illusion of student athlete? Like why we allow the “skool” to make grazillions off their efforts and treat them like serfs?

But today’s issue is that wonderful tool … Sam Colt’s equalizer … the gun.

I’d say that Shannon’s statement is just flat out wrong.

What he has done is paint a bullseye on his player. Bad people will know they can’t defend themselves. He’s equated the possession of a tool with a bad intention.

If UofM is a government entity, (and it’s hard to argue that it isn’t), then he is an agent of the gooferment, and he has infringed on these player’s rights.

Regardless if they push back or not, that infringes all our rights.

The fact that the liberal media gets all gushy about this “enlightened” policy just proves how shallow they are.

D.C. Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional, Violates Individual Right To Own A Gun
Friday, March 09, 2007

***Begin Quote***

This week, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right and concluded that the District of Columbia’s ban on guns in the home is unconstitutional. According to the majority opinion, “[T]he phrase ‘the right of the people’…leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.”

***End Quote***

In a victory for all the little people of the District, our right was affirmed.

Now let’s see what roadblocks the “state uber alles” throws in everyone’s way.

I find it hard to believe that it was 2-1. Send that judge back to private life. I bet she has an armed security detail everywhere she goes. Taxpayer funded of course. If I was a citizen of the District, then I’ve have demanded her recall. (Yes, it’s a she. Appointed by Regan!)

Of course, if I was a citizen of DC, I’d have moved eons ago.

Let’s face facts. Most of DC’s violence is caused by the “War on Drugs”. End drug prohibition and you’d end the violence. End the various wars on nonsense (drugs, gambling, prostitution, and all “victimless” crimes) and it would be a peace in minutes.

What does an out of work drug dealer do?

End welfare, absurd taxation, and ridiculous regulation as well.

You’d have a city that would rival Singapore in a matter of “minutes”. People would be moving to DC as opposed to fleeing from it.

And, maybe bribing politicians wouldn’t be its only industry.

With a tax, regulatory, and legal environment like that maybe we could make something useful there.

GUN CONTROL QUESTION

Anyone care to guess which answer is mine?

http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/02/atCarbine070219/

Better than M4, but you can’t have one
By Matthew Cox – Staff writer
Posted : Friday Feb 23, 2007 5:27:44 EST

Delta Force worked with a gun maker to come up with a better weapon. The 416 is now considered in many circles to be the best carbine in the world, but the regular Army is sticking with the M4 and M16.

*** BEGIN QUOTE ***

March 4, 2002. An RPG tore into the right engine of an MH-47 Chinook helicopter loaded with a quick-reaction force of Rangers in the Shahikot Mountains of eastern Afghanistan. The Chinook crashed atop Takur Ghar, a 10,000-foot peak infested with al-Qaida fighters.

Enemy fire poured into the fuselage, killing Rangers even before they got off the aircraft. Capt. Nate Self crawled out.

*** AND ***

Once behind cover, Self tried to fire again, but his weapon jammed.

Instinctively, he tried to fix it with “immediate action,” a drill he’d practiced countless times.

“I pulled my charging handle back, and there was a round stuck in the chamber,” he recalled.

Like the rest of his men, Self always carried a cleaning rod zip-tied to the side of his weapon in case it failed to extract a round from the chamber.

“There was only one good way to get it out and that’s to ram it out with a cleaning rod,” he said. “I started to knock the round out by pushing the rod down the barrel, and it broke off. There was nothing I could do with it after that.”

*** AND ***

To Col. Robert Radcliffe, the man responsible for overseeing the Army’s needs for small arms, the M16 family is “pretty damn good.” It’s simply too expensive, he said, to replace it with anything less than a “significant leap in technology.”

Since 2000, that leap centered on development of the XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon — a dual system featuring a 5.56mm carbine on the bottom and a 25mm airburst weapon on top, capable of killing enemy behind cover at 1,000 meters.

Seven years and more than $100 million later, the 18-pound prototype — three times the weight of an M4 — is still too heavy and bulky for the battlefield.

“We think that somewhere around 2010, we should have enough insight into future technologies to take us in a direction we want to go for the next generation of small arms,” said Radcliffe, director of the Infantry Center’s Directorate of Combat Developments at Fort Benning, Ga.

“We will have M4s and M16s for years and years and years and years,” he said.“We are buying a bunch of M4s this year … and we are doing it for all the right reasons, by the way. It’s doing the job we need it to do.”

But many soldiers and military experts say this mind-set is off target now that soldiers are locked in a harsh desert war with no end in sight.

“We are not saying the [M4 and M16 are] bad,” said former Army vice chief of staff retired Gen. Jack Keane. “The issue for me is do our soldiers have the best rifle in their hands.”

*** END QUOTE ***

Well, General, (General, Gen Real, Generally Unreal), I’d say they were. I’d probably call them POS. That’s what they are. And, I’d like to hear what you’d say if you were in a fire fight and had the thing stop shootin on you! Betcha we could NOT print it here or put it on the tv news for the family! Ahh, yes, and we also have another good post office bureaucrat Colon-el (Head up his?) looking for the “perfect” answer. He’ll get it around 2010 when he retires to go work for a politically connected gun maker!?!

No, the issue isn’t to have the “best one”! It’s to have a “working one”!!

Is it any reason that the front line troops ALWAYS refer to the REMFs?

Hopefully, they can survive these idiots.

Isn’t it interesting that while the Founders trusted the citizenry more than they trusted government, ongoing attempts to ban military-style “assault weapons” and bullets that can penetrate the body armor of the armed agents of government indicate that nowadays a significant part of the ruling class we’re not supposed to have would have us trust government more than the citizenry?

Yup, while it may be too soon to start the Third American Revolution, we should at least recapture the high moral ground of language. We would do well to learn from Pre-Hitler Germany.

For those who say not now — free speech zones, Military Commissions Act, the new Berlin Wall for the Mexican border, and the erosions of our Bill of Rights.

There are deadly consequences for a man police say tried to force his way in to an East Tulsa home. Now the question is will the shooting fall under the “Make My Day” law and protect the homeowner? News on 6 reporter Jennifer Loren reports on the latest in the investigation.

***And***

That means Oklahoma’s “Make My Day” law will likely apply in this case. The “Make My Day” law allows people to use deadly force in their homes when they fear for their safety.

***And***

The “Stand Your Ground” law extends victim’s protections to other locations, like a car. It also clarifies the law’s boundaries, so deadly force cannot be used against someone who has the right to be there.

Now, where are all the bleeding heart liberals suggesting that the victim should have just dialed 911 and left it to the police?

I’m all for thinning the gene pool of the bad guys. And, I’m pro-life.

Hope I’m on your jury should you fall afoul of the “victim disarmament” laws. Not they are not “gun control” laws.

“Gun Control” is EITHER hitting what you aim at OR keeping a careful inventory of the government’s arsenals.

I call laws that infringe on people’s natural right to arm themselves …

… … “unconstitutional”. Thus, null and void.

This picture makes the essential point FOR concealed carry.

The bad guys have no clue who is or who is not packing heat.

If they guess wrong, they could be over matched and wind up dead, crippled, or arrested. It also creates a “bystander problem” for them. If they are assaulting someone, one has to be foolish to try and intervene. But when the bystander is carry concealed, they can bring an overwhelming amount of force to the situation from an unexpected direction. So now the bad guy not only has to worry about the victim presenting, but he also has to worry that a passer by might not just pass by. Worst case, the bad guy could wind up dead.

Certainly, we know that the police aren’t everywhere and can’t get somewhere fast enough. If they intervene, it’s by luck. But, there are always witnesses. And, if someone is carrying concealed, they have invested time, money, and effort in their skill. They have a self-image. And, I want them to feel free to help me.

We will need to retrain the police and gubamint that the citizens are the masters!

Letter to Reason magazine
Ms. Postrel:

Nadine Strossen’s rationale for the ACLU’s abandonment of the right to keep and bear arms is: “What it [the pro-gun position] comes down to is the very strong belief that having a gun in your home is something that can ultimately fend off the power of a tyrannical government. I find that really unpersuasive in the 20th-century context. Maybe it made sense in the 18th century.”

Recent history offers numerous examples of lightly-armed men able to inflict grievous damage on vastly superior forces. Afghanistan’s mujahadeen, initially equipped with archaic Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifles, stalled the Soviet Red Army for many years before receiving the advanced weapons from the West that finally tipped the balance of power in their favor. Chad’s desert fighters managed to repel Moammar Gadhafi’s tanks by the insanely brave expedient of shooting-up enemy supply convoys, mounting Libyan anti-armor weapons thus captured on their Toyota pickup trucks, and then charging the invaders in packs. In the former Yugoslavia, 5,000 Croat defenders carrying hunting rifles and Kalashnikovs were able to protect the city of Vukovar against 25,000 army troops and Chetnik irregulars backed by Soviet T-84 tanks and heavy artillery for eighty-nine days before they depleted their ammunition supplies and were overrun.

This is a great post.

Don’t forget: Gandhi’s defiance of the British in India after WW2, the ’44 Warsw Ghetto Uprising, and the ’56 Hungarian Revolution.

Against a tyrannical American government, there would be some “interesting” resistance.

First, you have to figure that the Bloods and Crypts would want to continue their current drug business. Since they haven’t been impacted by current methods, one would reasonably assume that they wouldn’t be impacted by future efforts. Given that they corrupt the cops, one would expect it to continue. These gangs would mount a very good light infantry, which in their own neighborhoods, would be impossible to root out. Especially since they, like all Fourth Generation forces, would blend in with the populace, and emerge to fight that asymmetrical war.

Second, the Gubamint runs on money. If it becomes too tyrannical, then the economy will grind to a halt. As the tax rate rises, and the inflation rate rises, they will “net” less and less value. Running a fascist state requires an economy. The leaders, and politicians, will want to be kept in the appropriate style befitting their “regal” position. It’s hard to be a King, if the subjects don’t pay or work. All we need is for the people to decide that it’s a good idea to work a little less, use a metal based “medallion”, do some bartering, grow a “victory garden”, and do other “muck up the works” activities. And there will be a lot of hungry politicians!

Third, the Ross book “Unintended Consequences” demonstrates how the ruling class can be brought to its collective knees. In the book, people just start killing bureaucrats and politicians. Like the internet, it would be possible to have leader-less bloody revolution. Pick out a government worker and kill them! It wouldn’t take long for the word to spread among the government workers that if you value your life, find a new line of work. That’s Fourth Generation warfare at its heart. I think to some extent that is what we are seeing in Iraq.

It really depends on the consent of the governed. If we don’t consent, they CAN NOT govern!

I read a stat that said about 130 of the 300 million Americans own a firearm. That’s roughly one in three. It could get real messy very quickly if a consensus emerged.

Look at what happened in NOLA when the good people left. But, they don’t have to actually LEAVE. They can just look the other way for the same effect.

Remember the dead old white guys on what the tree of liberty needs?
