We're in trouble now.

How can you tell me it's ok for our government to spy on it's people in hopes that you will be safe? 

How do you figure? 

How do you accept all these laws that do away with DUE PROCESS? 

I'm no fan of terrorism, but nothing scares me more then a President who feels he's justified in killing American citizens without ever bringing them to trial. 

Today, it's terrorist, tomorrow it's you.  How do you police those who police us? Why are you ok with this? 

Right now, all these comments are being watched by NSA, DHS, and it's only a matter of time before any dissident is met with force. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gun control laws is the red flag that people everywhere should be vigilant on. Not because it's "Guns" but because of the laws that they create that go above it's intended purpose. 

All you need to do to see this in action is pay attention to what has happen to Mexico. 

They were considered a gun culture, very much like ours. But government corruption riled up the people and they stood up against their government. 

In 1960 their President decided to quell the uprising by rewriting their 2nd Amendment laws in their constitution. 

In effect, the President allows the people to "Own" guns, but they are not allowed to "Bear" arms. He did that for the same reason Obama stated he's doing it. For the safety of the community. In reality, what the President of Mexico did was create a system that made it ILLEGAL for the citizens to step outside their home with a firearm. A prison term of 15 years was enacted for anyone caught outside with a firearm. 

It also allowed the President to limit the caliber of those firearms reducing the accepted caliber to .22 

Any gun owner will tell you that is nothing more then a glorified BB gun with no stopping power unless you manage a headshot really close. 

Meanwhile the government reserved all the truly powerful firearms for themselves. 

In the years since this law has been enacted. MEXICO is NO WHERE NEAR AS SAFE as it was before. In fact! ITS WORSE THEN EVER!

WHY? 

Because ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY! The criminals have a society incapable of fighting back with any true force, police departments are out numbered by criminals and in turn have join up with the criminals because corruption paid better. 

Mexico  is not what you think of when you think of honorable and corruption free government. 

Don't take my word for it. Research it yourself. 

Make up your own mind. 

Ether way. WAKE UP! 

All I'm asking....

All I'm asking is for people to question. 

Question your leaders, 
               
               Question their followers. 
                              
                               Question your own motivations, 
                           inspirations, 
             
                                                  fears and doubts. 

Question everything. 

Do not accept apathy as an answer. Don't not let comfort be the motivation. 

Wake up. 

Nothing is more dangerous than tyranny hidden behind the mask of virtue. 

The Obama hypocrisy.

Here's the level of hypocrisy that really boils my water when it comes to what the Obama administration is doing. Obama will gladly surround himself with the victims of gun crimes but not the saviors, he would tell you that 90% of the American people want gun control and would stop at nothing until he fulfills the will of the people. 

WELL MR.PRESIDENT, if that is true, why aren't you doing the same thing with the MONSANTO'S situation? After all, not only do the MAJORITY of AMERICANS WANT LABELS, but THE WORLD HAS RISEN UP AGAINST THEM!?!? 

What I have learned from Super Storm Sandy.

The moment I learned how important it was to preserve the 2nd Amendment came during super-storm Sandy. 

There is this comfortable illusion with many NJ residents that government, excuse me, Local government is strong enough to deal with any situation and if you sit back,relax and wait long enough they will come to your rescue. 

This could not be further from the truth. What I've learned is that we are grossly undermanned, we have a failing infrastructure and local fire and police services can easily be rendered useless during a state wide emergency. 

During super-storm Sandy our brave firefighters and Police we're stretch above and beyond their capabilities. So I can't not fault them for any issues arising from that storm, but it was a wake up call. 

Our electricity was out for over two weeks, food was limited, but we were getting by, people were very helpful, at least our closest neighbors were. What was scary was that towards the end of the of the blackouts, you can tell that there was a slight breaking down in the social order. People out there were starting to get a little desperate. 

It wasn't outright panic, or rioting, but you could tell that there was some tension in the air. 

Electric generators where being stolen, houses where getting broken into and some places were getting looted. 

This happens, granted, but it's not something you'll expect from a little town that far less a suburb, then it is a country town. We have a small police force, and these poor guys were everywhere. So they couldn't take care of everyone. 

We had people sneaking up on our porch at night, and one time they even manage to steal my 5 gallon gas container. They spotted my generator, but thankful it was in an inconvenient spot for them to take it. 

It was just a matter of time, had the situation lasted more then 2weeks, say, 2 months. I think you would of seen a real breakdown in government while more and more desperate people take to the street. 

My wife felt that, and she of all people, who supports the 2A but hates and fears guns (she admits the fear is irrational, but is trying to slowly get out of it)...even she realized that it might just be important for us to have a firearm in the house. 

I rely on my generator, I use a CPAP to sleep, any of you guys who use that machine know how difficult it is to sleep without one and how dangerous if your sleep apnea condition is really bad. Mine is really bad. So to lose my generator during a black out is a really really bad thing for me. 

So now our government is pushing for these gun control bills, put bans on capacity, rifles, and even some handguns. To serve who exactly, what purpose? For safety reasons? For the children? Or sedate their own fears of an uprising due to the level of government corruption that is seeping out of that cesspool they are currently mucking around it? 

What's the purpose? 

Meanwhile, if another super-storm comes our way, and we're left defenseless, what then? Force us out of our homes, into a football arena and lock us down until things "go back to normal"? 

How are we not like cattle then? 

Nope, the one thing I've learned from Sandy is that our government is only as good as the infrastructure it sits on. A couple of natural disasters, a lingering black out and the food stores closes,  you'll then understand why it's important for ALL Americans to support and defend the 2A

Cause when it comes down to it, to you, your family and children are your life, to Government, they are selling points and martyrs best used to further their agenda. 

BIAS PERHAPS?

Obama talks about guns that hurt the innocent, yet never mentions the guns that save lives.

Doesn't this seem a bit self-serving and bias?

Sure does to me.

"...BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN" and other bullshit emotional ploys.

I swear, I'm so sick and tired of hearing "What about the Children" when talking about gun control.

As if I wasn't a dad, like I don't have a kid? Like I don't think about my child's life. If I had a nickle for every debate about gun control that didn't at some point reach this conclusion:

"What if it was YOUR Kid?" as if my reaction to a traumatic experience somehow makes a stupid decision right.

IT DOESN'T! The politicians talk about NEWTOWN, they talk about gun control and how we need more, yet NEVER, EVER do I hear they talk about the CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEAD to NEWTOWN!

NEVER!

Why? Because if they did, they would see that it had NOTHING to do with GUN CONTROL, NOR GUNS, even if one was used at the scene of the crime.

It had to do with a MOTHER'S IGNORANCE of her SON'S mental condition as well as CARELESSNESS on HER PART for leaving her weapons laying around when the kid could have access to them!

"AH BUT IF THERE WAS GUN CONTROL LAWS THAT WOULDN'T OF HAPPEN !"

Bullshit, because there was gun control laws in place, the MOM knew them and was still NOT RESPONSIBLE enough to do her duty.

So now I and 110 MILLION OTHER law abiding citizens have to pay the price for the action of one idiot?

HOW IS THAT FAIR? It's not. But the children...the children...save the children.

Who the fuck is going to save the CHILDREN in years to come when they end up growing up in a country that gave up freedom for security and they find themselves at the mercy of the government and criminals?

Didn't think of that one did ya? You think kids don't grow up?
