Letter from A.X. Perez

*** begin quote ***

In spite of warnings that submission to violent criminals only leads to their becoming more vicious, many liberals continue to advise not arming oneself to fight back, Their claim is that most people lack adequate training to fight back. It would be better to increase training.

Therefore the following is proposed as a change to publicly funded education (as long as we are stuck with public funded education.):

Students are to be trained in self defense with and without weapons from kindergarten through graduation from high school and even into undergraduate school in college. Besides instilling in people the necessary skills to defend themselves this should help instill the self confidence and independent spirit appropriate for members of a society of free people. It should also provide physical activity leading to pulmonary and cardiovascular health, greater physical strength, coordination, and flexibility.

Now that’s a great idea. Wish it had been around when I was growing up.

GUNS: Should go to jail for stupidity

Would-be gangster shoots off own manhood

A would-be gangster shot himself in the crutch when his gun went off half cocked in his pocket.

Lukas Neuhardt, 27, had forgotten to put the safety catch on when he stuffed the gun into his trouser pocket to impress pals in Saarbruecken, Germany.

*** and ***

Now – after surgeons stitched his manhood back together – he’s facing up to three years in jail for breaching Germany’s tough new anti gun laws.

*** end quote ***

See they need a “gun culture” like the Wild West.

Until this country went nuts over fear of guns, everyone knew guns as tools.

Argh!

GUNS: Don’t put your loved ones in harm’s way; arm yourself now while you still can!

Dumb, Dumber And Dumbest by Charley Reese

*** begin quote ***

If you believe in the right to life, then you must believe in the right to have the means to defend that life. Unless you wish to spend years learning the bow and arrow and the broadsword, I’d suggest you join 4 million others and me in the National Rifle Association, lest a bunch of dumb urban politicians put you and your family at the mercy of any wandering criminal.

November 11, 2003

*** end quote ***

True then; even truer now.

Although I’d suggest the Gun Owners of America as opposed to the NRA. The NRA accepts the concept of “reasonable gun regulation”. There is no “reasonable regulation” of ANY right! Either it is an “inalienable right” or it’s something subject to the whim of the Gooferment.

And, about Right to Life, or any “right”, you only have the “rights” that you are willing to fight for and exercise.

(The interesting point about the RKBA is that with concealed carry, you don’t have to carry to get a benefit. See the criminals have to guess who packing and who isn’t. Like sprinkling sheepdogs with big teeth in the flock of sheep. Quite a surprise for the wolves when they guess wrong. See “gun free zones” merely tell criminals that they have nothing to fear. We let the school janitor carry tools; the gun is nothing more than a tool.)

Like that Churchill quote! “…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939.

When do the sheep fight? When on the way to the slaughter?

GUNS: City infringes

Bellingham drafts ban on gun sales
Law would affect areas near primary, secondary schools
JARED PABEN – THE BELLINGHAM HERALD

*** begin quote ***

BELLINGHAM – Guns sales would still be allowed within 500 feet of day cares and colleges, but they’d be banned near public and private primary and secondary schools, under a new city proposal.

*** end quote ***

What part of “shall not be infringed” do these politicians not understand?

Do gun sales near a school threaten the school? Perhaps, if some of the teachers and staff were armed, then it wouldn’t be a “TARGET”! Arm the custodians and it would give new meaning to “take out the trash”.

GUNS: Prices indicate that Obama isn’t to be trusted

VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: Obama ‘bitterly clinging’ to his fake gun numbers

*** begin quote ***

“ATF Special Agent William Newell tells Fox News that between 2007 and 2008, around 11,000 guns used in Mexican crimes appeared to come from the United States and were submitted to the ATF for tracing. Of those, only 6,000 could be successfully traced. Of those, only 5,114, according to testimony in Congress by William Hoover, were found to have come from the United States.

“Obama’s ’90 percent’ number refers, not to the percentage of ‘guns recovered in Mexico,’ as Obama claims, but to the ‘percent of the traced firearms’ according to an ATF spokeswoman.

“Mexican authorities report that in those two years, a total of 29,000 guns were recovered at ‘crime scenes.’ That means 68 percent of the guns recovered by Mexican police did not even appear to come from the United States. That means only 5,114 out of 29,000 guns used in Mexican crimes were found to have come from the United States,” the Libertarians conclude. “That figure would be 17 percent, not the 90 percent repeated by Obama.

During his term in the Senate, Obama earned an “F” rating from Gun Owners of America, as well as from the National Rifle Association. In an April 11, 2008, campaign speech in San Francisco, Obama claimed gun owners are simply “bitter,” racist people who “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”

“Obama is ‘bitterly clinging’ to falsified numbers, hoping he can take away the constitutional rights of ‘people who aren’t like’ him,” The Libertarian Party concludes.

Guns are a right.

But Spooner was right, the Constitution is powerless.

Women, Stop Watching Oprah and Learn to Love Guns
by Karen De Coster

*** begin quote ***

Let’s face it – women are more vulnerable to attack because, most likely, their aggressor will be a man. Women are physically weaker, and criminals know that we are less willing to be mentally prepared for aggression because, unlike men, most of us just aren’t wired to be combative. A woman’s attacker will be bigger, stronger, and faster than her, and by nature they will be more aggressive, and that’s before considering any mental or drug problem that may be associated with a criminal attack. So why do women not want to take that into consideration and equalize the situation by learning to use and love guns? Dr. Thomas Szasz, libertarian scholar and Professor of Psychiatry at Syracuse University, once stated, “self-defense is not merely our legal right but our moral duty; because women are more vulnerable than men, their need and obligation to defend themselves is even greater than that of men.” Dr. Szasz is a wise man.

*** end quote ***

Let me just quote from Marie’s soliloquy in my book “CHURCH 10●19●62”

“Yes, we women do (kill). Did you know John’s paternal grandmother traveled the Oregon Trail, bore 13 children, and fought Indians and Outlaws? She’s in her 90’s now. I’ve read her letters. Women can kill when it’s needed. We may not be as physically strong as men, but who seems to get to change all the diapers? Don’t worry about the words and labels. Just do what’s right. OK?”

OK! Women are smart and responsible for their own defense. Wasn’t that what the “women’s liberation” movement was all about. Empowering women? So why do they tolerate male legislators making them victims of every low life man who wants to hurt them.

As Heinlein said: “An armed society is a polite society.”

Frankly, I trust women a lot more than I trust politicians.

From my cold dead hand …; yours too, I hope.

# – # – #

p.s., I tried to emulate Heinlein. The first book I ever really read and absorbed a political message from was his “Starship Troopers”. Admittedly a juvenile science fiction action novel, it was a College level course in Libertarian philosophy. So to, in my book “CHURCH 10●19●62”, I tried to get across my political ideas about Liberty. His was much better, but I tried. Hopefully, I can turn one person onto freedom.

The state of Montana has drawn a line in the sand, challenging the federal government to decide whether to follow the U.S. Constitution with a new gun law that exempts from federal regulations any gun, gun accessory or ammunition made in the state and intended for use there.

That throws the gauntlet down!

GUNS: Lautenberg is in his dotage; what part of “shall not be infringed” does he not understand?

Brady Campaign And Lautenberg Unite To Mislead And Control—Again
Friday, April 24, 2009

*** begin quote ***  

This week, in a typically misleading move designed to bolster their political agenda rather than reduce violent crime, the Brady Campaign released a report calling for background checks on “all gun sales in America, including at gun shows.” The Brady report was intentionally designed to correspond with, and bolster, a “gun show loophole” bill (S. 843) introduced this week by fanatical anti-gun Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). In fact, the Brady report was released at the press conference Lautenberg held earlier this week.

Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign, said in the group’s press release, “We can do this. It will have no impact on any law-abiding gun owner in the country.” Of course, that is absolutely false—the proposal will ONLY impact law-abiding gun owners, including any law-abiding person selling a firearm to a law-abiding buyer. Does Helmke really think that criminals, drug cartel members, and violent gang thugs are going to start legally purchasing firearms and submitting to a background check? Law-breakers, by definition, break the law. They are criminals; they are predatory, they operate outside of the law. You know that, we know that, Lautenberg knows that, even Helmke knows that.

Lautenberg’s new bill is essentially a re-introduction of the same bill he introduced in the 110th Congress—S. 2577. And as before, S. 843 calls for massive new government powers to register gun show customers, register gun owners, retain information on people who pass criminal records checks when buying firearms, heavily tax both gun collectors and gun sales, and require gun show promoters to police gun show customers, as if they were agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

{Extraneous Deleted}

*** end quote ***

Once again, Lautenberg shows his age. He’s senile. That was popular BEFORE the idea that criminals by guns at gun shows was thorughly debunked.

Once again, we return to the concept that the only folks who will try to abide by the unconstitutional “victim disarmament” diktats passed by the congress critters is people who obey !

Time to vote poor befuddled Frank out.

Even in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee, we can see when a man is being manipulated by others.

Read a list of why we all should carry something!

I particularly liked:

*** begin quote ***

Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin’.

…author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

Everyone is protected when we make the thugs guess!
