Your Wake Up Call – Gun Control is an Assault on God Given Rights

After every mass shooting, the Left’s (I use this term to cover ALL of those who seek to destroy America) knee jerk reaction is to attempt to pass gun control legislation, even though most rational people realize that no laws will EVER prevent evil people from getting firearms or anything else and doing evil deeds. Needless to say, just as soon as the Left begin their assault, Patriotic Americans come back fighting (I proudly stand with these Patriots). Our prime weapon against this attack is the Constitution and the particularly the Second Amendment. We will reinforcement our arguments with quotes from the Founding Fathers and others.

As the gun control debate rages, some of those Patriots who oppose gun control fail to look back at the Declaration of Independence and when they do, many, if not all, will remember and can quote those immoral words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable (inalienable) Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”. However, it is the words that proceed these, “…the separate and equal station to which theLaws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them….”, that I feel many fail to remember and I feel this is the fundamental reason that ANY argument for Gun Control is fundamentally flawed.


The Laws of Nature or more specifically Natural Law is that “body of law or a specific principle held to be derived from nature and binding upon human society in the absence of or in addition to positive law” or as Emmerich de Vattel would explain in The Law of Nations (French: Le droit des gens) 1758, “that liberty and independence that belongs to man by his very nature, and that they cannot be taken from him without his consent.” What are these principles that are derived from nature and binds to human society in general, America in particular?

In order to avoid a long drawn out discussion of the various works of Gentilis, Grotius, Pufen, and Burlamaqui concerning Natural Law or the Natural Rights of Man, I will refer to what John Locke wrote in his Two Treaties (1690), “the right to life, liberty and property” or as Thomas Jefferson brilliantly wrote in America’s Declaration of Independence, “..unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (good fortune : prosperity) …” Let’s take a look at these three basic God or if you prefer Nature’s God given Natural Rights, as defined by Locke and Jefferson, are the reasons that any attempt for any type of gun control is not only a violation of our Constitutional rights but our GOD given rights.

The Right to Life

This basic right is / maybe self explanatory, but we must/should also include personal security. All human beings (including those still in the womb) have the God given right NOT to be killed, NOT to be injured or NOT to be abused. This is the MAIN reason most, if not all, of us own and carry a gun.

As many gun control advocates are fond of saying, “No one needs an “assault weapon” or a multi round magazine for self defense (or hunting).” The first response from anyone who is against gun control, should be, “How do YOU know exactly what type of weapon I need to defend myself, my family or if necessary my neighbor?” Someone also needs to remind those on the Left that every state and even the federal government have self defense laws and these laws provide for using any and all means necessary to protect one’s self and family. The Left also needs to be reminded that most, if not all, LEGAL gun owner is very familiar with the laws of self defense in their home state. Isn’t it strange that none of these self defense laws specify what type of weapon a person should use to defend themselves, i.e. none of them say, “if you are being attacked by a person with a knife, you have to defend yourself with a knife.”

The Right to Liberty

This right is/was explained by James Madison when he presented the first thirteen amendments to the Constitution during the meeting of the first Congress, ten of which is now known as the Bill of Rights. Maybe they should be referred to as the Bill of God given rights or the Bill of Natural Rights. (Please pay attention to the wording in “Fourthly. That in article 2st, section 9, between clauses 3 and 4″)


Among these Natural rights is the right to worship God and practice one’s religion or not practice or worship.

Man also has the right to move freely, without government permission, to go where one chooses provided they do not violate another person’s rights.

Man has the right to assemble peaceably and the right to express or publish his opinions, and if possible to communicate those opinions to the world.

Man has the right be secure in his home which includes his effects and personal papers, this liberty also includes freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. This is another Constitutional and Natural right that the Left is attempting to “backdoor” with legislation for insurance requirements for gun owners, gun registrations and any other “laws” that will require the government to know who owns a gun or how many are owned.

Man has the right to enjoy privacy in all matters, which includes the privacy of a person’s medical records. This does include what is said to one’s doctor in the course of medical treatment, INCLUDING any treatment which may involve discussions concerning mental problems. If a person does have a problem, the idea that what is said in confidential to a doctor would be relayed to the government could prevent that person from seeking help for even a minor problem. This is something that the “Dear Leader” forgot when he issued his Executive Actions on gun violence, the Doctor – Patient privilege.

In order for Man to protect and defend the above list of Natural and Constitutional right to liberty, Man has the right to purchase, keep and bear arms. Once again the Left needs to be reminded that it is the person’s RIGHT, not the government’s, to decide what type of weapon or the number of rounds they need to defend this RIGHT.

The Right to Property [Jefferson’s “Happiness” (good fortune: prosperity)

Man has the right to a private home and personal property within that home. The idea that a man’s home (residence) is his castle dates back to 1644, therefore, a Man’s residence may not be entered or his processions taken or used without his permission.

Man has the right to buy and own the tools required to earn a livelihood. He has the right to use those tools to achieve happiness (good fortune: prosperity).

Once again, in order for Man to defend and protect his home, his processions and his tools, Man has the right to purchase any gun he feels is suitable for his personal and if required his community’s defense. Once again, I will remind the Left that all states have laws that allow a home owner to defend his “castle” and none of those laws say how he can defend or protect his property.

The Left needs to be reminded that Natural Laws is not just some philosophy thought up and written about by John Locke and Thomas Jefferson many years ago, but is a potent and valuable set of laws that will and should be forcibly used to restrain the lawless and arrogant over reaching government, of course this is what the Left is afraid of. Yet, Natural Law is in existence today thanks to their favorite organization, the United Nations.

Before the LEFT even begins to argue against the concept of Natural Rights, they better read what the U.N. said in its, “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (10 December 1948) and pay particular attention to The Preamble and special attention to Article 3 “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” Is this not directly from John Locke?

I realize that the Left’s assault on guns will continue on and they will attack in every way they can, BUT we Patriots have to remind them that we have the God given right to own any weapon we are capable of owning and NO government has any right to tell a free people by what method we should defend our Natural Rights.

Adding Insult to America's Broken Promises: Targeting Veterans for Back Door Gun Registration

PERSONAL NOTE: To all of those who regularly follow my rants particularly when it comes to calling out the hypocrisy of those who use the the continuing scandal of the Veterans Administration to get more time in the spotlight and then fade away having achieved absolutely nothing, I APOLOGIZE for the appearance that I was one of those BUT during December, I was a major sickbay commando. To use an old saying, "I was hard down." I may not be 100%, but I am back!

The Clown in Chief could not take time out of his "busy" campaign schedule to visit those who sacrificed so that he could be elected by the sheeple to destroy America as Obama dodged a reminder of the veterans’ health-care scandal this week by driving by the Carl Hayden VA medical center in Phoenix, which was at the heart of last year's scandal that ONCE AGAIN drew attention to the years old America's broken promise to those of us, past and present, who put our lives on hold to defend the Freedoms of America that the sheeple have taken for granted, without stopping.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Mr. Obama had no plans to visit the Phoenix VA, and instead will give a speech about the housing industry’s recovery.

NOW the Department of Veterans Affairs is adding insult to the many scandals of not honoring America's promise and commitments to the Vets by offering free gun locks to veterans IF veterans provide details on the number of guns they own and their home address which is raising concerns about a government-run gun registry.

Some veterans have received a form letter in recent days from the VA offering gun locks if they return a completed form listing their name, address and number of guns in the home.

As your partner in healthcare, we are committed to keeping you and your family safe,” states the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times. “Gun locks have been shown to greatly reduce death and injury caused by firearms in the home. If you own a gun, we hope you will request and use a gun lock.

The letter said agency officials “hope to reach all our veterans with this offer.” The VA said it will mail the locks to the address provided by a veteran.

One veteran who received the letter said it raises concerns about “a gun registry in disguise.” (YOU THINK?...OM)

“Young soldiers are already notoriously reluctant to admit any problems with post-traumatic stress disorder,” said the veteran, who asked to remain anonymous.

“Imagine the effect if the average 23-year-old private … back from Iraq, already reluctant to ask for help … is now hearing rumors that if he seeks help from the VA for sleeplessness, PTSD, nightmares, etc., Big Brother is going take his guns away? Now young veterans will really avoid asking for help,” the veteran said.

The letter about gun locks obtained by the Times was signed by Daniel Hendee, director of the VA medical center in Philadelphia.

A VA spokesman in Washington said he was not aware of such an effort and could not provide further comment immediately. (Does anyone REALLY expect anything else from the District of Corruption?...OM)

Last month, an ex-Marine who was being treated for various health issues through the Philadelphia VA office shot and killed six family members before taking his own life.

And on Tuesday, an incident at the VA clinic in El Paso, Texas, resulted into two deaths — the gunman and a victim. However authorities released no information Tuesday night on who the shooter was, his motive, or whether it was a murder-suicide or he was killed by security forces.

In both cases, how would gun locks prevent these tragedies, IF the gunmen owned the weapons?

A couple of questions Patriotic Americans should ask

First and most importantly: Are the Socialists who are now controlling our country attempting to demonize America's veterans as they have our police officers by using the propaganda of the 1960's, where all returning veterans are "crazed" killers and right wing extremists.

Second: Is this an attempt not only for federal gun registration, but to use the Brady bill to deny gun ownership to veterans, as in the case of Pat Kirby:

"The Brady Act does not, in fact, allow a person like Pat to be denied gun ownership rights. The VA, and, apparently, the Federal government, are using the section about being 'adjudicated a mental defective' to illegally deny men like Pat Kirby the rights he fought for during his 37 months in Vietnam. The key word, there, is 'adjudicated.' A finding by the VA that someone is incompetent to handle his money is not an adjudication. To adjudicate something is to hear and settle a case by judicial procedure. This is not a judicial procedure--it is a finding by bureaucrat who is not a mental health professional. This is something that needs to be resolved by litigation because what the VA is doing is illegal and unconstitutional."

Third: Why should anyone trust the VA with ANY personal data considering that two years after a major security breach compromised the personal information of over 4,000 veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) continues to suffer from systemic “security weaknesses,” according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Finally: Who knows more about weapons handling and safety then our military and veterans?

Is the Regime Using Capitalism for Gun Control

As a number of "talking heads", politicians and everyday folks talk about the militarization of local police departments. The subject of the various departments of the Federal Government making massive buys of ammunition and to state the obvious, all Patriots know that there is and will be a massive push by the current regime and the Left (the single word for me to refer to the enemies of Freedom) for gun control.

As “Dead fish Ballet Dancer” has repeatedly said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” So following his advice how soon will BH0 and the Left once begin began a massive push for gun control. 


Remember back after Newtown how the regime used the parents of those slaughtered as a backdrop props to tug at the heart strings of the American people. Remember them using former congress woman, Gabrielle Giffords and her husband doing television spots for their new group, Americans for Responsible Solutions. Give the regime and the Left time, they will pull out all stops to once again use every trick and propaganda it can as it attacks our God given Natural Rights to own and bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment. But will this public distraction for a more insidious plan for gun control by using our very own principles against us?

I am not one who jumps at every conspiracy theory or rumor that some one puts out there on the net, and though I trust this current regime about as much as I trust a cornered rattlesnake, actually I trust the rattlesnake more, I do attempt to find the reason behind some of their actions. Knowing the plans of the enemy, betters prepares the warrior.

Does Everyone remember BH0’s infamous statement while on the campaign trail in 2008.

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Now he b*tches about the militarism of city police forces.

Add to this statement BH0’s known history on gun control, no wonder after his election in 2008, gun sales soared. Many buyers and sellers attribute the surge to worries that Obama and a Democrap-controlled Congress would move to restrict firearm ownership, despite the insistence of campaign aides that the president-elect supports gun rights and considers the issue a low priority. This comment by the campaign proved to be wrong in one way and right in another. Right in that gun control was a low priority, wrong in that BH0 supports gun rights or the Constitution for that matter.

Any “talking head” will tell you, the main reason why gun control was a low priority during his first term was because BH0’s intent on destroying our health system with Obamacare and destroying America. He also realized that any push for gun control would hinder his re-election chances. So his regime turned to another tactic and decided on another way to impose gun control and even though it would and did spawn many conspiracy theories, it may be working.

Now, I will FULLY ADMIT that I am not up on the various guns that are available, I’m a wheel man myself, except for the .45 1911. However, quick check of the net tells me that currently the most popular handgun in America is the Glock 17 which fires the 9MM Luger cartridge, with the 40 caliber handguns offered by Glock catching up. Coming a in close second are the 9MM and 40 caliber models from Sig Sauer . What do these popular hand guns have in common with various the federal agencies?

Now, if one were to stretch 10 USC § 2538 – Industrial mobilization: orders; priorities; possession of manufacturing plants; violations. And we all know that BH0 wouldn’t stretch any laws or even push his Constitutional authority to get what he wants. So, why wouldn’t the federal government make massive orders for large amounts of ammunition for various federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration, Department of Education, DHS and other federal agencies? After all, the manufactures will have to give priority to the federal government or face seizure per cited code.

As cited in many sources, hollow point ammunition can not be used by the military, BUT is popular among law enforcement and isn’t that what the regime is saying that it is being used for? Hollow point ammunition is also the favorite of a majority of gun owners, including myself. 


Now think about this, is it not possible for the federal government to make massive orders to the manufacturers, thus “creating” a shortage and under a capitalist system don’t shortages lead to cost increases? Also, IF there is a shortage of this type of ammunition and price increase, wouldn’t local police have to turn to the federal government for ammunition, thus putting the police departments more in debt to the federal government?

Join me as I go one more step further into my conspiracy. Remember back in June, 2012, there was an attempt to pass legislation in some of the states where ammunition manufactures are located to “micro stamp” the ammunition, which would definitely increase the cost of manufacture.


Now picture this, using the current crisis the Left introduces legislation in D.C. that requires all manufacturers to “micro stamp” every round of ammunition and if by chance it passes and gets signed into law, many ammunition manufactures will either have to shut down to retool or maybe shut down permanently. This will also add to the supply shortage. In a capitalist system, when costs go up for a manufacturer, such as the increased cost of micro stamping, the cost to the consumer also increases. What do you think will happen?

I feel that with the current shortage, thanks to the massive purchases by the federal government; just ask you local gun shop about the availability of 9mm & 40 cal ammunition and other popular ammunition. And IF “micro stamping” were to pass, this to will add even more to the cost or the add to the shortage because manufacturers close, to the point that a number of gun owners would not be able to afford ammunition, thus without ammunition the gun becomes a handy club.

Thus we'll have Gun Control that does not violate the Constitution and the sad part, BH0 used our own capitalistic system against us, a system which he hates.

What do you think, let me know?

Semper Fi!
