Dick Heller is the man who brought a much needed lawsuit against DC, to lift the unconstitutional handgun ban that has threatened the personal safety of it’s citizens for years.
Webster’s Dictionary defines a “machine gun” as the following:
Main Entry: machine gun
Function: noun
Date: 1867
:a gun for sustained rapid fire that uses bullets; broadly : an automatic weapon
Sustained rapid fire with seven rounds??? Doesn’t sound like Heller’s pistol even comes close to qualifying as a “machine gun” to me.. Clearly the DC moonbats had long ago gotten away with taking it upon themselves to break away from societal standards (such as the trusted Merriam Webster dictionary) to completely & arbitrarily redefine what a “machine gun” actually is.
The problem is that their little games will lead to more court cases to define the obvious for them, & it will be at the expense of the taxpayers. Meanwhile, the liberal media will black the stories out, & most of the public will never know that DC is wasting their money on trying to deny the Constitutional rights of it’s own citizens, unless people start to speak up for their rights.
Remember in November.. REMEMBER come November.. ~ Dan Lee
Liberals seem to never run out of ways to be stupid. Seriously, they think they can stop gun owners from carrying a lot of firepower by banning Semi-Autos?
Like most things the Democrats do, it makes no sense, but that’s not stopping the fascist anti-gun nuts in the Washington D.C. government from trying to impose more unconstitutional laws on citizens. Of course it will backfire in their face when people start carrying a revolver on each hip just like the old west, & speed loaders to make up for the low ammo capacity of revolvers..
They will also carry larger caliber/more deadly weapons to make sure that 6 bullets is enough to stop an attacker..
Go ahead D.C., ban them.. I’m sure there are plenty of people who are just waiting for a good excuse to get one of these:
However wonderful this may seem for the manufacturers of revolvers, I don’t think the D.C. anti-gun loons have thought this through long enough, & I’m not the only one.. My guess is that they’ll have an epiphany any day now & realize how incredibly dumb they are to even suggest a semi-auto ban.. If they continue with this talk, they will be seriously embarrassed in the end.
Founded on the web circa 25-Apr-05 The so called American Hunters & Shooters Association is a dishonest organization, that curiously popped up right after the 2004 Presidential election loss of the Democrats. This Johnny come lately organization has been critical of the NRA, despite their glaringly obvious lack of tenure or credibility on Gun rights or Hunting issues.
One needs not look farther than their “Who We Are” to find the inconsistency & dishonesty of this organization. In this section of their website, they make the following statements. A simple look at the survey they refer to, reveals that the survey said no such thing about Assault Rifles or Bullets. I suppose they are counting on people’s laziness in not actually reading the survey. That’s a typical elitist liberal response, & usually their downfall incidentally. Contrary to their delusion, REAL gun rights advocates are concerned with more than chewing tobacco & 4 wheel drive trucks. We do in fact read between the lines.
According to a 2003 Field & Stream National Hunting Survey, sportsmen overwhelmingly support reasonable gun safety proposals. Moreover, an overwhelming majority of hunters support proposals like background checks to purchase guns, keeping military style assault weapons off our streets and the elimination of cop killer bullets.
There a was only actually one question on the survey that was relevant in any way to the claims made above in the “Who We Are” section of the American Hunters & Shooters Association website.
15. Do you consider assault-style rifles to be legitimate sporting guns?
67% No
33% Yes
As you can see, this question & it’s responses have NOTHING to do with getting assault rifles off of the street. The question only addresses the relevancy of the assault rifle as a sporting gun.
Nowhere in the survey are the readers asked whether or not the assault rifle is a legitimate self defense gun, yet on the website, they try to spin the question & response to mean that Hunters don’t think anyone should own an assault rifle. They were asked about it for hunting, not self defense.
This website/organization is clearly & deviously bending the truth for their own political agenda.
Furthermore, nowhere in the survey were “Cop Killing” bullets mentioned, or asked about.
Secondly, if we were as citizens eventually subject to a government agency who went completely bonkers, why would we want them to be the only ones with access to armor piercing rounds?
This would also of course be a completely fascist position for any Gun owner/advocate to take, because the second amendment guarantees us the right to own any type of rifle, or ammunition we want. Whereas the Second Amendment includes the phrase; “being necessary to the security of a free State“, it’s clearly addressing our right to have sufficient firepower to protect ourselves against the rise of a fascist Government.
The authors of this website are trying to slowly disarm us, by giving you a couple Hershey kisses, & then stealing your King sized Hershey Bar (with almonds), while you sleep.
Don’t fall for it! They are a Johnny come lately political front, who will change their tune as soon as they & the Democrats have enough power to have a sing along.
I have just given you a clear example of this organization twisting, no correction MANGLING, the truth, in the most crafty ways imaginable. On certain parts of their website, they claim that they do not agree with the Hand Gun prohibitions in D.C. & Chicago ect.. This too is a crafty tactic. Why? Let me explain.
They know that hand guns are essentially ineffective beyond 50 feet or so, (150 ft. if you’re weapon uses the higher velocity rounds, & you have a horseshoe up your @$$) whereas an assault rifle has an effective range of as far as 2000 feet. So if they concede everyone the right to own a hand gun, then they could keep the really effective weapons in the hands of the Government, (assault rifles) & out of the hands of the people. What are we supposed to do, defend the republic against a rogue government/regime with pistols against these weapons? Oh that’s rich…
This is a very devious & crafty strategy, especially knowing how the handgun free zones are turning out to be a joke (VT shootings,D.C./Chicago gun crime rate still high, a Supreme Court defeat looming for Anti-hand gun proponents.) They know they are about to lose the handgun battle on constitutional grounds, but now they are (almost) ok with that, because they know you can’t fight a rogue Police state with handguns, & after all, it’s mostly inner city people they don’t really care about killing themselves with them. These are voters they can replace at the current child illegitimacy rate in their minds. So now they are trying to convince people that assault rifles are bad, (as if they bounce around on their stock & randomly murder people on their own.)
DO NOT be Fooled. Do your family a favor, & own an assault rifle, before these nuts have a chance to deprive you of your right to self protection through their cloak & dagger schemes. Also, keep your membership with the NRA, or get one. There’s a reason behind why these idiots keep attacking the NRA. They are trying to undermine the REAL GUN RIGHTS ADVOCATES.
“The NRA is extreme,” says Ray Schoenke, the former Washington Redskins lineman and failed Democratic candidate for governor of Maryland who is president of the American Hunters and Shooters Association. Schoenke also previously made a $5,000 donation to Handgun Control Inc., predecessor to the main anti-gun lobby, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
Be sure to read up on this guy carefully. He’s an anti-gun hypnotist, plain & simple. Ask yourself this: After Barack Hussein Obama’s “Clinging to Guns & Bibles” remarks about small town America, why in hell would any REAL pro-gun rights group endorse him?
Oh, & for anyone who thinks they can successfully criticize me as an paranoid about our Government, Just remember that those who forget the harsh lessons of History are bound to repeat them.
Obviously the Chicago “Gun Ban” still doesn’t mean anything to criminals, & it isn’t helping to stem the tide of violence in the city. Instead of only evil or morally confused people having guns, responsible citizens should have them also, that way the criminals never know who will take them down if they try to shoot anyone else in the citizenship. We know that criminals will always find a way to get guns, just like drugs. Even legal drugs are abused by a few, compared to the millions who use them for their intended treatments or purposes. Should we ban all pain killers then? Make good law abiding people suffer severe pain, because a few idiots abuse prescription drugs?
A half baked quote from The Superintendent of the Chicago Police:
“There are just too many weapons here,” the superintendent, Jody P. Weis, said at a news conference. “Too many guns, too many gangs.”
Well that’s about half right… Guns don’t go off without a homicidal idiot behind them. How about cleaning out the gangs?
Like I’ve said before, this just proves that politicians have been on the wrong track with imposing gun bans. These handgun bans haven’t done anything to stop crime in D.C., or in Chicago, & that’s now become an irrefutable fact.
When only criminals have guns, only innocent people get shot or victimized. That is an injustice, & a crime against humanity in of itself. That is also why our forefathers instituted the second amendment.
In fairness, Superintendent Weis eventually went on to touch on the real crux of the matter:
“We’ve got to get children back into being children,” Superintendent Weis said. “Not cold-blooded killers. Law enforcement cannot replace parents. Parents have to take a very aggressive role.”
That’s right Chicago.. If you take every gun off the planet, & have bad parental guidance for children, they will sharpen sticks, plastic, & butter knives to stab each other to death with if they have to.
Barack said then:
Years of abandonment by successive Clinton and Bush administrations have made the people of small town Pennsylvania so “bitter” they “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them”.
Barack says now:
“I am amused about this notion of elitist, given that when you’re raised by a single mom, when you’re on food stamps for a while when you were growing up, you went to school on scholarship….”
“So when somebody makes that argument, particularly given that I spent my entire life working with workers, low-income communities to try to make people’s lives a little bit better, then that’s when you know we’re in political silly season.”
Dan Lee says:
So you’re “amused” that people are dumb enough to think your an elitist huh? Wouldn’t that be the kind of reaction an elitist might have? Amusement at the percieved stupiditiy of others that might believe you’re an elitist? Have you considered that maybe they are right based on your reaction?
Here’s your free clue Mr. Obama:
When they called you an “elitist” they weren’t talking about back when you were a schoolboy, they are talking about what you have become.. In other words, what you are RIGHT NOW.”
P.S. I will personally admit that I am an “elitist” of sorts, because I believe that Conservatives are far superior in almost every way to Liberals. That is unless you’re looking for a politician who can increase the Government’s tax revenue, & the people’s tax burden. In that case they have us beat with one hand tied behind their backs. I do however believe that our elite status is subject & subservient to almighty God, who is the King of the elite, & the King of Kings.
But them I’m probably clinging to “religion” too much in Obama’s opinion.. Egads!!! We’re sorry King Barack Hussein Obama!! Not…
And later that month:
“I think it’s important for us to recognize that we’ve got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respects the Second Amendment and people’s traditions.”
Then on the Anniversary of the VT shootings. (You know the one wear the students,staff & faculty were like “fish in a barrel” because only the shooter ignored the no gun rule?) He said the following:
“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune.“I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.” Hmmm… Like at VT Barack? One gun in the right hands could have ended it before so many were killed, & that’s an irrefutable fact
Hmm, let us see here.. Should we vote for a President that doesn’t believe in the 2nd Amendment of the US Consititution, which the tenants thereof made this nation strong & free?
Should only the Police & Government officials have the guns, & if they do, who’s to stop them from abusing the rest of us & treating us like their peasants, slaves, & minions?
Looks like Mr. Barack Hussein Obama is on the wrong side of the issue with the American People. Or maybe he just wants to control everyone eventually? Adolf Hitler started by taking all the public’s weapons away.. Then he started systematically murdering those he didn’t like. I’d hate to compare Obama to Hitler unfairly, but as a Tiger walks out from the shade, into the sunlight, we identify him by the pattern we see, & compare that pattern to a known creature to identify the one before us in our minds.. Taking guns out of the hands of citizens, & violating our constitutional rights would be a pattern that is also familiar to us. It’s the pattern that a tyranny follows.
The former Soviet Union, the citizens of China, the citizens of the Cambodians under Pol-Pot, the Kosovars under the Serbs, the Weimar assembly’s efforts in 1925 to pass the German National Gun Registration Act, then helped to pass the National Security Act of 1929. The 1929 Act required all Germans, and especially Jews, to turn in all guns or rifles they owned to the authorities. Through their efforts in the Weimar Assembly, these men helped remove all guns owned by German citizens and Jews, thereby helping us make a more secure Germany, a more peaceful Germany. That made it easy for German police and security forces to enforce the dictatorship of the nation without resistance by groups who opposed Hitler’s laws.
This is of course why Charlon Heston made the famous statement; “From my cold dead hands.” He also predicted new gun laws wouldn’t solve crime in 1989. He was of course right in retrospect.
Watch his prophetic words in the following video:
From my cold dead hands too..
Important Disclaimer: By agreeing with Charlton Heston on his famous “From my cold dead hands” statement, I’m not advocating that you should necessarily engage in a firefight with Police who want to take your weapon(s) away. The only thing that would ever justify that circumstance, would be if the US Government went completely bonkers, & decided that they were going to take “EVERYONE’S” guns away.
It is suicidal & immoral to have a shootout with Police over the possession or confiscation of a few personal firearms, when one knows they have access to a fair court hearing. Don’t do it!
The majority of policemen in this country still believe in the second amendment, & the right of citizens to responsibly carry a firearm!Don’t make them the enemy unnecessarily, because as of this time in our country, they simply are not. If a Police officer asks you to surrender your firearm over a misunderstanding, or for the protection of everyone involved, follow his/her instructions, & contact an attorney without answering any questions, other than providing proof that you have the right to own the weapons (licenses ect.) Don’t be stupid, & live to fight another day. We’re not living under tyranny (yet). ~ Dan Lee
Here we go again.. The moonbats are trying to make an end run around the concept of freedom & the 2nd amendment, by making bullets too expensive to manufacture/buy, & too much of a liability to even own.
They want to etch a serial number on every bullet so they can trace it back to someone in the event of a shooting.. Oh that’s a smart move. What’s to stop someone to ignore a little manufacturing overrun on the assembly line, & black market sell bullets with the same serial number YOU BOUGHT to a killer? This whole concept is nothing but sheer insanity, & a setup waiting to happen to someone.
How is it then that they are apparently trying to make exceptions for law enforcement? Who will stop the black market bullets from flooding the country, when this country can’t even stop illegal aliens from crossing the border? (even though their like a 10 times bigger than a case of bullets.)
How do these geniuses address the possibility of “crime scene seeding”? They can’t! What’s to stop someone from planting evidence with your serial number on it? Shells they found at the firing range, stolen from your home?
Here’s a thought, won’t criminals just start killing people with sawed off shot guns more? How are you going to etch bird shot or buckshot with the gun’s serial no. before it leaves the gun?
California Assemblyman Paul Koretz, author of AB 352, says the whole idea of microstamping is to give law enforcement a new tool to track both killers and unscrupulous gun dealers.
“The idea was never that someone would be convicted solely on the basis of the microstamp,” he stresses.
Of course my story headline does not apply to recreational target shooters, but it certainly applies to Guns in public settings.
Increasingly, liberal zealots are trying to paint gun ownership as being a great plague on society. Police often don’t like them in the hands of average citizens, because sadly some Police feel that they should have “authority” & some kind of tactical advantage over us average folks, instead of viewing themselves rightly as public servants who’s job is to serve & protect the public. Of course the fact is, that criminals are usually the ones concealing their guns for the right moment to pull it out on a cop, & open carriers rarely commit gun crimes. To be clear, most concealed carriers are also law abiding gun owners. My point is that if it’s visible & secured in the holster, nobody has any reason be afraid of it, anymore than they are of someone driving a car, which they could suddenly decide to point at you on the sidewalk.
Another problem with their whole philosophy is of course that darned second amendment thing, that our very wise forefathers inserted in the US Constitution to protect citizens from both government abuses, & for our common protection.
Frighteningly we are hearing about more & more Police officers who are harassing legal gun owners, while they should be spending their time hunting down guns that gang bangers are trading in the back alleys like baseball cards. The video below represents two kinds of officers, some really respectful ones, & some robo-cops who have clearly exalted themselves over the rest of us, who have a legal right to bare arms, & open carry those arms in most states.
Here are a couple great videos that are a must see for responsible Gun Owners, & Police officers everywhere.
The moral of the story here, is that more people should open carry. If more people open carry, Police will be flooded with calls, & eventually forced to both educate their police officers on the rights of citizens to carry a firearm, & leave legal gun owners alone.
Part of the problem is the gap in knowledge/training between the courts, & the Police officers in our Country. The best way to force them to be better educated, is by carrying your weapon responsibly & openly until they adopt procedures to keep their officers well informed on important gun safety laws & regulations. I don’t think that’s asking too much, since they carry a gun themselves. ~ Dan Lee
In this next video, Manasses Virginia Police Wrongly Harass, Verbally Abuse, & Vindictively Ask a Restaurant Owner to Kick Out Open Carrying Gun Owners Who were Obeying Virginia State law by carrying their weapons openly while in a restaurant that serves alcohol. A City Council Meeting is held to request discipline.
