“It’s for the children” Obama proclaimed after signing the twenty-three gun-grabbing executive orders after the Sandy Hook tragedy.
“Never let a crisis go to waste,” one of Obama’s cronies once quipped. And Obama hasn’t.
We can now complete the circle with this tragedy with the events that brought about the National Firearms Act known as the NFA of 1934. It came to fruition in a similar fashion in an ill-conceived legislative effort and media frenzy (so-called “public outcry”) due to the St. Valentines Day Massacre of 1929, or so the story goes. However, it was done in slow motion and took them five years versus the speed of light Obama and his cohorts are acting out today.
It has only been two to three weeks since Obama announced his intention to ban so-called assault weapons before the legislative and executive assault began.
This latest foray into gun control is simply a national gun-registration scheme, which plays out as I first reported in a previous article. A synopsis of S.150, on Senator Feinstein’s legislation, is as follows:
“To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.”
The synopsis is simply the title of the legislation; we now know what she and her cohorts have in mind the short title is:
‘‘Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.’’
The language is troubling: “To ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited.” If we look closer, the key phrase is “not unlimited.” Our constitutional rights now come with apparent expiration dates pre-ban versus after, since it will codify specific limits to our Second Amendment right to bear arms. This legislation is not a constitutional amendment either. It is simply a bill to re-designate conventional arms, as equivalent to automatic weapons, with their large capacity magazines, which will now fall under the NFA registration requirements, and its $200.00 fee for each weapon and magazine registered.
This obviously infringes on our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The most troubling language in the bill is “and for other purposes” which is not defined at all within the pages of the bill where we find our rights are limited and they are being curtailed for other purposes, which are undefined.
When you factor in ninety-five pages of this legislation, it lists one weapon after another, which are exempt under the act. After you include the seven pages that are specifically “banned,” the 123-page bill has 102 pages of specific weapons by name, manufacturer and model number.
Why would they need to list specific weapons?
Why are they not using descriptive legal designations that discuss their functionality: i.e., falling block, lever action, pump, single shot, bolt action, tip-up, rolling block, muzzle loading, semi-automatic, automatic etc. The only reasonable guess is to list the banned/exempt firearms in this way is to tack it on as an infamous “rider bill” that are one or two sentences long on another piece of legislation that references this legislation to implement confiscation without raising much interest sometime in the future.
After all, no one reads legislation anymore, ObamaCare was proof of that.
The specific weapons named in this bill were military type weapons at one time or another or their civilian version, specifically semi-automatic weapons and other long arms. The Supreme Court in United States v. Miller categorically affirmed the right of citizens to own, use and possess military type weapons, or in the language of the government’s prosecutor, weapons for war. Nothing has changed since then, except of course “never let a crisis go to waste” to quote Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s previous Chief of Staff.
There are reasons to own and use such weapons as proven by the Battle of Athens, which occurred in Tennessee in 1946 and affirmed the citizen’s ability and right to rise up against their corrupt county government and restore the rule of law. Tyranny is not immune to a place or time, and is ever-present wherever corruption in government exists.
So much for it cannot happen here…!
Senate Bill S.150 targets military type infantry weapons used at battlefield ranges that are used in an offensive tactical manner. The only logical conclusion to draw is our politicians wish to deny our citizens the right to raise any meaningful resistance if they decide to act against our rights and thwart our ability to respond offensively against tyranny.

If this is passed, I will not comply. Millions more will not comply.
Couple that with the fact that DHS and other alphabet agencies have recently purchased over 1.8 BILLION rounds of hollow point ammo – enough to shoot every man, woman, and child in the country 5 times or more – ammo that’s illegal for military use under international law, how does anyone with the capability of rational thought escape the conclusion that our government is preparing for a war on its own citizens?
Feinstein, Schumer, Obama, Holder, Bloomberg, Cuomo, and their whole gang are tyrant wannabes. To them, anyone who does, or might, oppose their control over every aspect of our lives, is “a criminal” because they said so.
To quote a few of their heroes, with explanatory comments in ( ):
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” – Mao
(They revere Mao and the way he ruthlessly grabbed power in China. The fact that he murdered about 100 million Chinese to do it is, to them, a “feature,” not a “bug.”)
“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. … The only real power comes out of a long rifle. … Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. … We don’t let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns? … The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.” — Joseph Stalin
“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty.” — Adolf Hitler
(These psychopathic sociopaths in our government – and THEY ARE PRECISELY THAT, never make the mistake of doubting it – believe that they are anointed to be our rulers and that we are the equivalent of Hitler’s “subject races.”)
Don’t tell me, “It can’t happen here in America.” To borrow a quote from Mike Vanderboegh,
“Anyone who tells you that ‘It Can’t Happen Here’ is whistling past the graveyard of history. There is no ‘house rule’ that bars tyranny coming to America. History is replete with republics whose people grew complacent and descended into imperial butchery and chaos.”
Hitler disarmed the Jews and others, then murdered about 15 million.
Stalin disarmed the Russians, them murdered about 40 million.
Mao disarmed the Chinese peasants, then murdered nearly 100 million.
The Turks disarmed the Armenians, then murdered 1.5-2 million.
Pol Pot disarmed the Cambodians and murdered millions.
Rwanda disarmed its ethnic groups, then murdered millions.
The list goes on … about 262 MILLION people murdered BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS in the 20th century – AFTER they allowed those governments disarmed them. See: http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM
They ALL thought “It can’t happen here” – until they were disarmed and it started, then it was too late. Don’t make the same mistake. Don’t EVER let your government disarm you.
The Founders knew that government, if not constrained at every step, will continue to accumulate power and control until it becomes tyranny. That’s why they feared standing armies and insisted that the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
“A tyrannical rule cannot in any reasonable construction be accounted lawful, and therefore the disturbance of such a government cannot be esteemed seditious, much less traitorous.” – Thomas Aquinas
When Injustice becomes Law, Resistance becomes Duty – Thomas Jefferson
Take the pledge:
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2012/12/19/my-personal-pledge-of-resistance-against-any-attemp-to-disarm-us-by-means-of-an-assault-weapons-ban/
Here is the message I sent to traitor Feinstein:
There is not one item of evidence that gun control has ever stopped mass murder or reduced the crime rate. Never has never will. Guns have protested more people and less people have been harmed because of guns.

If you care to see more links as to how guns are more advantagous than less guns I will be glad to post a couple of hundred more links.
I agree with Carlwk3c and I further add that any unconstitutional “law” is NO “Law” at all…
Obama and his Administration and a large number of these idiotic Senators like Diane Feinstein went off half cocked. There was no AR-15 used at Sandy Hook school, they murders were all committed by Lanza with four (4) handguns.
ABC, NBC and CBS on January 27, 2013, came out and made that announcement, the AR-15 was locked in the trunk of his mothers car. How come Fox News is not talking about that as breaking news?
The Presidents have to much power to make their own laws with out the Constitution and go around the Congress. That power must be taken away from them.
It’s for the children???? If it’s for the children, how does that compute with liberals’ insistent support of abortion, up to and including late-term abortion??? And how come there are some exemptions to her ban, like herself, for instance. Leaving these terrible weapons around for criminals to steal and use…..doesn’t seem like a good idea, is it????? I guess all I see is a great amount of hypocrisy and politics….for the children……
REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU SEE OBAMA AND THE OTHER LEFTIST TYRANT WANNABES USING CHILDREN AS PROPS
“The state must declare the child to be
the most precious treasure of the people.
As long as the government is perceived as
working for the benefit of the children,
the people will happily endure almost any
curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler
I keep hearing that sandy hook school was a farce…..it did not happen, but no one has given proof….any proof out there? It is very odd that all of a sudden we have mulitple events at the schools with guns…hmmmmm
All the Democrats and Liberal people ,want is to ban firearms . The same way they got universal ” obamacare ” came . And look at that one . 2 TRILLION dollars later , and still climbing and it haven’t even started yet . And the same politicians are still in the government , that started that one .
The last three , or four , ” mass murders ” in this country , the Democrats , and the so-called liberal ” mainstream ” news , all blamed the gun . Not the person who committed the murders . And , they were ALL CRAZY !! But , ” it wasn’t their fault , it was the gun ” , they all CRIED ! Sorry , but a gun can’t shoot itself , it can’t point itself , and it can’t reload itself . If they want to stop that , then they would have, namely King Hussein and his Adm. , would have started something about the crazies that started killing with a firearm , not the firearm itself . As they did . Under their ” law ” that they want , the crazy people will murder again . It’s only to blame the abide lawful people in this country . It looks like I’m going become a lawless person .
What is it with these arrogant left-coast liberals….especially Feinstein and Nazi Pelosi….who so detest the idea of God-given rights of individuals (according to the 1215 Magna Carta and our Constitution, which merely affirms the rights) and who so detest, therefore, the United States of America (despite their oath of office on a Bible)….that THEY feel entitled to dictate (liberals LOVE to dictate to those beneath them….which is everyone else) the CANCELLATION of these rights????
And THEN to claim the right to do so “for the children”….contrary to EVERY statistic related to violence in our society and EVERY statistic related to the seizure of citizen firearms.*
No….it has nothing to do with protecting children….and EVERYTHING to do with protecting THEM from US.
NEWS FLASH: We are coming….
Owebama is now asking military brass if they will kill USA citizens if he so orders them. (he’s flushing out the Constitutionalists)
I’ve a strong hunch that the brass might be willing to give the order. But the ‘boots’ won’t comply because they know WE aren’t coming to overthrow the US govt. WE’re coming to evict those who DID destroy our Constitutional republic! (it’s a coup d’etat….nothing less) Heroes will come to the fore in the military….just like the 2 heroes at Benghazi who deliberately disobeyed a direct order and did what their conscience told them to do!! They died fighting for their love of country….as many of us may well need to do.
REMEMBER: there’s probably 1,000 people in WashDC [govt rep's and administrators, lobbyists, bankers, media and corporate moguls, et al.] who are destroying the future for 300 million and all future generations.
1,000.
*Piers Morgan rants about only 39 dying from firearms in England last year, or some such blather.
Deceitful (ALL liberal rhetoric relies on deceit)
The year before the gun ban (1997) 677 died from homicide in England.
2011: 636. That’s a 6% drop in 14 years. The bad guys merely switched weapons.
Proof that guns don’t kill people. PEOPLE kill people.
Stick that up your ‘arse’, Piers.
Here is an add on for you.

Alan,
In the interest of objectivity and accuracy, please clarify
= = = =
Obama proclaimed after signing the twenty-three gun-grabbing executive orders
= = = =
Were those Executive Orders or some sort of Memo.
If they were Executive Order, please provide the Dispositining Table Numbers.
I would like to read them in full text.
I’ll not waste much on Feinstein except
…………shall not be infringed………….
…and when asked why I need RPGs or A-10s, I refer you to the Battle of Athens 1946
YOUR POST SHOWS YOU ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE WHY DO YOU NEED ME TO GO ON RECORD…
Here is the LINK to the National Archives; your language “Dispositioning Table Numbers” means you are familiar with the system so why you are asking me for this information is disingenuous, with that said here is the link to the actual Orders that have been published, 2013 have not been published yet that I could find:
http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/obama.html
People like you that appear to one thing, though are another are being employed by George Soros and the resurrected Obama campaign machine to find information to discredit patriots that are willing to get the TRUTH to the American People. You strike me as one of these operatives, since you chose to direct your question without common courtesy. If you are not I apologize for what I am about to say…if it offends you.
With that said…
So whether they are Orders or Actions makes little difference when Obama chooses to act with executive power versus actually having a debate with the American people. After all it took 5 years to pass the NFA after the initiating incident the infamous “St. Valentines Day Massacre” of seven known gangsters. At least the 73rd Congress chose to wait until Prohibition had been repealed our 18th Amendment with the 21st in December of 1933, in effect after the bullets stopped flying due to Prohibition and the profit motive and lawlessness was subdued, unlike today.
The NFA was enacted in 1934….
The majority of murders committed today between 60% and 75% are due to drug violence (this follows conviction rates of felons); not unlike Prohibition, however our Federal Legislators now choose to limit the rights of law-abiding citizens making them future victims for crimes they have no intention in subduing.
So their actions must be for other “OTHER PURPOSES” as I show in the article…at least the 73rd Congress knew what to do to curb the violence, unlike Feinstein…
The FOLLOWING is a quote from Caligula, pardon Obama himself regarding the “Children Statement” you appear to take umbrage to:
“”My starting point is to focus on what makes sense, what works, what should we be doing to make sure that our children are safe and that we’re reducing the incidence of gun violence,” said Obama. “And I think we can do that in a sensible way that comports with the Second Amendment and then members of Congress, I think, are going to have to have a debate and examine their own conscience.”
As he is shamelessly surrounded by 4 little children that have his SIX flanking his backside as Human Shields; here is that LINK:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/14/obama-gun-control_n_2471698.html
Taking these actions at the speed of light while leaving intact the nexus of the reason for all these murders is unconscionable and belies the real intent that fits the AGENDA of this president and his enablers the liberals, democrats, progressives, marxists and socialists take your pick on everyone who wants to disarm the real threat to them the AMERICAN PEOPLE…
Why Obama and company want to purposefully inflame the American People is not questioned in my mind; the question to answer for you; why would he want to do so…and is it not disingenuous of him to do so since he is the only Nobel Peace Prize president to have a secret “KILL LIST that reigns death from the skies with drones against Citizen and Terrorist alike.
All without according DUE PROCESS of the Citizens 4th, 5th, 10th and 14th Amendment Rights, as prosecutor, judge and executioner all rolled into one…
Not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of dead MEXICAN NATIONALS with his Fast & Furious DEBACLE (Stimulus Funds were used to bankroll) which he knowingly and willfully allowed to ARM MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS the very crime syndicates that floods our streets with their poison.
While at the same time closing the Nation Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) which tracked (past tense) their actions in our nation..so why you are pointing the finger at the messenger when the problem is in the WHITE HOUSE..I will never know..
You are free to discredit SCOTUS all you want however they have ruled that the PEOPLE are allowed to arm themselves with MILITARY STYLE INFANTRY WEAPONS…making these actions by Obama, Feinstein and others a direct strike against the American People themselves…!!!
The Battle of Athens does not prove that you need to own an assault rifle. It is a shining example of American citizens overthrowing a corrupt local government. They did this by sheer numbers, not with superior firepower. That being said, are you suggesting that an American citizen’s arsenal should match that of local law enforcement on the grounds of being able to outgun them? That idea is paranoid at best. The last thing we need to do is get into an arms race with our own police. my911 asked you a fair question, to cite your source on the 23 executive orders. Assuming you are using factual information to support your claims, you should be happy someone wants explore your ideas. As far as the supreme court goes, they reverse rulings and reinterpret laws regularly. The 21st Amendment is a shining example of that fact. Your article raises some good points, but you should not take offense to people questioning you. After all, that is why we are all here, right?
subhub25:
Apparently you missed my apology before the FACT with:
” If you are not I apologize for what I am about to say…if it offends you.”
Paid Operatives are being used to discredit ordinary Americans and my911 could have shown the common courtesy of using “MR.” and addressing with some level of respect. It may be old-fashioned concept however using a cordial attitude should never be stretch in our society or do you disagree with that also? The snarky sarcasm in his post was obvious, as one who is moderately well versed in the “Kings English.” My response was indeed measured and again I apologized before hand so you argument is superfluous.
Your response is clearly out of line:
” Assuming you are using factual information to support your claims”
All statements and suppositions were clearly linked in the article so your statement is baffling and is only made to what I assume is making your response inflammatory, and impugn my character, why would you do this is…? All other statements in my RESPONSE were and are FACTUAL, or do you dispute that Fast & Furious has happened? Drones fall on citizen and terrorist alike. Alternatively, that Obama is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate with a “Kill List?”
Your comment on the police is also baffling since local police are arming themselves with automatic weapons and military style equipment, uniforms, flak vests and tactics… So if the Police are arming themselves to this point, disarming the citizen seem ludicrous since it belies a need for this type of outfitting to maintain the “Rule of Law” are citizens to be at the mercy of the local constabulary that is actually a civilian military force?
So it again proves my contention put forward in the article since SCOTUS allows the Citizen Military style weapons there is indeed a concrete and proven need for them to be so armed. At least to the level that our local police are arming themselves to this same level…that means the threat level is extreme, or do you dispute this also?.
When seconds count minutes matter with a police force that is anywhere from 11 to 20 minutes away depending on current estimate and study:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/01/dial_911_and_die.html
You have also misconstrued my response or my article I have categorically stated in my article:
“The specific weapons named in this bill were military type weapons at one time or another or their civilian version, specifically semi-automatic weapons and other long arms. The Supreme Court in United States v. Miller categorically affirmed the right of citizens to own, use and possess military type weapons, or in the language of the government’s prosecutor, weapons for war.”
This is simply what I have pre-supposed that is consistent with a SCOTUS affirmation in United States v. Miller, so your statement is out of line and you own me an apology though I will not hold my breath:
“That being said, are you suggesting that an American citizen’s arsenal should match that of local law enforcement on the grounds of being able to outgun them? That idea is paranoid at best.”
I do not mind dialog, however you and my911 have been disrespectful with your verbiage and your choice of words. I do not mind being personally being offended though I wonder on the motives and why it would be needed except for the fact of the assault on the American People by forces that appear to want to change our society and nation into something it has never been and is foreign to our way of life and Constitution. This is a FACT operatives are busy on the internet doing just this:
http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/leftist-trolls-in-ongoing-war-with-wnd/
WND has been recognized as one of the two least BIASED sources on the internet so we are indeed in a battle for the hearts and minds of the American People, will join me in the effort to assist the American People for honesty and openness in our government?
So do you have anything else to ADD…?
.
Mr. Halbert,
You demand respect, yet you offer none. In your reply to my911′s request of more specific information, you accused them of being an Obama operative. You follow up this accusation with an apology. Is that your idea of respect? If you think the ability to post a link to YouTube makes you an authority, I would have to disagree. I checked your other “sources”, and they confirm the traces of factual evidence you intertwine with conspiracy in your arguments. So you really think we should all be armed as well as our police? Where does that mentality lead? How long will it be before we grow suspicious of one another, and become even more removed from any sense of community and country? By the way, if you think this website is unbiased, you really need to expose yourself to more sources of information.
Alan,
I’ve been busy. But I’m back.
I noticed that some have chided you for the “tone/manner’ of your reply to my post.

You strike me as one of these operatives, since you chose to direct your question without common courtesy.
Your reply reeks of ASSUMPTION.
I ask two things of you
*Answer me ……. what ASSUME does to You & ME
*Prowl the blogs and evaluate my posts before accusing me being part of the Soros/Obama machine… in fact, please, at least go to my original post, above, where I said… ….
when asked why I need RPGs or A-10s, I refer you to the Battle of Athens 1946 ….
I’ll not waste much on Feinstein except
