Resolve to make your voice heard about gun control legislation.
The words “Constitution” and “government” don’t mean the exact same thing, of course, but they’re in the same ballpark, right? The framers of our Constitution were people who were either part of the new U.S. government or were involved in the process of government in one way or another.
That was a very different time in the history of our country. That was when government officials were actually looking out for the good of the people rather than trying to secure their power base and maintain their control over people. In fact, the Constitution was actually written to protect citizens from the government.
And more than 200 years later, people who hold the Constitution dear are trying to do just that…protect themselves from a government which seems determined to take away their constitutional rights. Recently, a commission in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, joined the fray, passing a resolution that would negate any future federal bill that tried to infringe on Second Amendment rights to own guns and ammunition.
Nobody actually expects this resolution to stop a federal law, but it sends a message to Washington: Leave our guns alone. It’s sad that anyone would have to continue a fight for a Constitutional right that was signed into law in 1791, but that’s what it has come to in this country. This article from Personal Liberty Digest titled, “Pennsylvania County Latest Local Government to Tell Feds, ‘Don’t Touch Our Guns.’” is a nice reminder that people are willing to stand up for their constitutional rights.
Do you believe that these types of resolutions really send a message to the feds, or are they a waste of time? What are some other ways that gun rights advocates can make their voices heard in their states and across the country? Let me know your thoughts about this.
Look at California they just passed a ridiculous law against features of the A.R. 15+ you have to register when you purchase ammunition. We should also have President elect Trump, to resend all executive orders passed by President Obama. Especially 13606. That would give the president the right to Control all food plus pet food in the continental US, without an emergency or war situation. Gavin Newsom and Kamila Harris are ones to watch out for. They’re very dangerous. God bless and be safe. P/s. I legally purchased a weapon, now they say the features are illegal. What’s one to do! Love your country but beware of your government.
Obama and Hillary are closet terrorist. Not unlike many in Congress. Otherwise you don’t tread on the Constitution.
Everyone stand up and Impeach Obama and demand that the 2 Patriot Acts and the NDAA be repealed and of course keep your powder dry and Elect Donald Trump, He is the only chance this country has of surviving in a form anywhere like we all have known it to be !
obamas’ mission is to destroy this country
Why can’t you people see this He has about 400 more days to do his mission He must be impeached
Yes !! You are 200% Correct, It has been Obvious to me and it seems it should be Obvious to everyone who has a normal IQ that Obama’s actions especially ever since he stole his second election just like George Bush did, That he has done everything he could to Destroy the USA ! The only thing he has Not done is declare Marcel Law or start WW lll yet , But he has another 400 days to do that ! We Must stop him in any way possible ! There is an Impeachment movement just starting by and in the people who listen to the Alex Jones network and everyone should read his website and sign up and join it.
I hear there is other talk in Congress to do the same, We all Must get involved and let everyone involved in getting Impeachment started know that we back them 100% and spread the word Nation wide that the sooner the better we Impeach him the better chance we have of saving the USA that we all knew and of course back and vote for Donald Trump !!
TRUMP dealing with so many issues that took Obama 8 years in WH and a few years as a Organizer. Yes! Obama’s agenda was Inside take over by Muslims. Open borders, you don’t hear about the crime. CA, Brown as turned the state into a S—hole Sanctuary State, loaded with Obama’s criminals, Illegals and non-vetted Refugees.
Go TRUMP
God Bless Our COUNTRY and TRUMP
I read on the inner net that there was something going to happen in October on the 5th has anyone read this and know what’s going on ?please let me know if anyone knows . Thank you
It is really not a newsflash for anyone that has been paying attention to recognize that our country is on a “slippery slope” and it is getting worse and worse. In the early 1900’s we were systematically invaded by Fabian Socialists who said they could change our country slowly and surely by the ballot box and by influencing all of the major institutions. The communists did it in other countries by police action, but the end was always the same. To bring about International Socialism. That way of life believes that man is in charge of our destiny, and that mankind can fix any problem if he tries hard enough. It also wants to eliminate the name of God from the face of the earth. That would let man be totally in charge. If we look at our country today, every major institution is given over to socialism – even the churches! The government wants to be “God” and has begun to take on that role every place you look. Big government wants to stay in power and it convinces our elected officials to use our tax money to buy votes to keep themselves in power. DeToqueville, was one of the first to say it, and hen it was repeated by various socialist and communist leaders over the years: “When more than half of the citizens of a country find out that they can vote themselves a paycheck, it is all over!” Those hard-working guys and gals that pay the taxes have very few ways to protect themselves from that. Now add unlimited infiltration of our borders by illegals who come in and can get citizens’ benefits, it just goes on an on. If we cannot trust the ballot box, it will take some real civil disobedience to get things changed, and return the country to the people who believe that the Constitution was to preserve one nation under God with life and liberty for all!
Regarding the Electoral College. Our forefathers knew what they were doing. That’s why we are a republic not a democracy. In a pure democracy majority rules and the large populations areas would dominate. So, once the majority no longer has moral integrity the nation goes down like Rome. The “College” helps to prevent this by giving more say to the whole country including areas with smaller populations. Cities moral values are not generally stellar so you can see the wisdom of the forefathers!
Have you finished your review?
You failed to address how the constitution did notproctect the inocent victims of angry shooters. Lets have some balance.Unfortunately, these dead cant say a word
Ten million Jews that Stalin murdered nor the estimated six + million the nazis can either.
Every totalitarian govt or dictatorship follows the same playbook; they take away the defenses of those they are about to slaughter. Then they do it……..period.
Read your history. I choose not to be made defenseless first, then “see how it plays out”
The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security
but standing armies,
in time of peace,
are dangerous to liberty,
and shall not be kept up;
and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. -LOL or CRY
The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation – After Katrina – YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBFvkLViL98
They will do it until the whole world is disarmed
so we can not stand against them. Tell every one! Teach your children the truth so they don’t kick in your door and take your guns or join those who want to control us. It is not a CONSPIRACY !
Our constitution? What is that? Our Freedom, what is that? Our right to Privacy, what is that? My rights to say anything have been eroded away by all the new laws that change everything by corporate America, due to the media mass hysteria and manipulation. The government is listening to everything you say. You give up your privacy by using the media. Facebook, tweeter, instagram, and all those things people think is great. No, people are giving up there rights as we speak. Freely, The people we elect into office are puppets only. They do what the hand behind the government want them to do. The media instills fear into the people therefor the people act like scared mice. The constitution was changed so many times to accommodate the rich and famous. Look at all those cops shooting and miss treating innocent people across the states. Where are there rights and there constitution? What should anyone do about that? Is it ok because its a employee of the state? Because they have badges and guns? Depending on where you live in the U.S.A. There is ether Anarchy or civility. If you have money then you have some rights, if not your screwed. It’s corporate America people. It’s all about the money. If you have money then move into the upper part of town and then maybe you have some say in what happens in your area. The idea of the constitution was good. People in power have corrupted that which we were believing. It’s all a big fat lie. The gun control only affects those that follow the law. But most of the time it’s not the people that own the gun that go out and shoot others. It’s there children or their brothers, or someone that broke into someones house that had a gun. The gun control law is stupid. When the system is broke, we have stuff like we are having now. To fix it, will take a new generation of well educated people, which I doubt will ever happen. The greed is to much. I have prepared myself and my family for when the SHF, Thats why i’m a member. I am a patriot of the u.s.a but if the Government fails then I am ready to deal with the situation as best I can and will do what ever i must to survive.
There is a Convention of States project on going that could use support, signing petitions in your state, An address: P.O. Box 1073, Purcellville, Va 20134
or http://www.conventionofstates.com/
It doesn’t cost anything to check it out,
Just remember that the convention can remove ANY/or ALL of the amendments that are protecting us now, such as they are enforced. We could end up with no amendments at all.
Frank Bates: I thank God every day for you and people like you who keep people informed of what is really going on in America.
Keep up the good work.
Yes ! We definitely Do Not want a Constitutional Convention under this or probably any future President !
Just back and vote for Donald Trump, He is the USA’s only chance of being Great Again, We must Stop all immigration legal and illegal for at least 5 to 10 years and get Americans Employed again !
We Must tax all imports at least 50% and use that money to rebuild American factories for American workers !
We have to express our wishes every chance we get in every legal way we can. They are ignoring us but at some point they won’t be able to. Keep talking, voting , legally protesting. It’s our right!
There is STRENGTH in numbers and when enough citizens of this country, a third or fourth of us, organize and pull in the same direction and humbly ask God to lead us back to His grace and guidance “WE THE PEOPLE” can and must get the USA back on track. Amen and Amen
Gun control AH HA government is afraid of an uprising. Look around people. Wake up!! Get rid of the Electoral vote and let the people vote .. Big business and government are hand in hand. We the people should vote on everything. Electoral vote is just no good being run by government.
Apathy has put us in this situation. You have a whole group in our society that don’t vote for our rights in elections. The i’m not voting because…. idea is the reason we’re in this mess. Add to that all the drug users that want free drugs from the lawless government plus those who think they are entitled to free stuff. Basically a third don’t vote so it’s up to us as conservatives to push our votes to win the elections.
The problem in America is not the Politicians we have elected and put there! The problem is all of the Amaerican citizens who sit on their couch, or play golf or whatever and don’t have a clue to what these thugs have done to them! Just get me a Budwiser and don’t bother me attitudes is the problem. These thugs work for us but we have forgotten to tell them what we expect from them!
I don’t want thugs working for us! They should be removed from office for any violation they commit against our Constitution. They took an Oath and when they violate that Oath I consider them a TRAITOR! They have no business representing the people who elected them and should be prosecuted and here is where the problem lies. They aren’t brought to justice because those whose job it is don’t do it because of their own corruption in their lives.
I believe the Constitution was written by individuals under the guidance, direction, and the influence of the Holy Spirit. Making this country, the Promised Land, one that Heavenly Father, will protect. We need to know and learn about our Constitution, then take back our country, either by votes or force.
Hillsdale College has free online courses, such as Constitution 101, that I think everyone can benefit from. This school takes no money from the government. That way, the government can’t dictate how or what they teach. The students don’t get government sponsored loans. It is worth checking out and then recommending that everyone you know seeks out this information. Unfortunately, a large percentage of our citizens have never read our constitution or other documents written at the founding of our country, including the people we voted into office! They have no idea what their rights and obligations are. If you have read it in the past, it would be a good refresher course for you, too. Check out: http://www.Hillsdale.edu. You will be glad that you did. May we turn back to our roots and put God above all. He is not likely to bless America when He is being shoved aside. Blessings to all.
Yes ! I have thought and told many people that I think the Founding Fathers were led by God to draw up our U.S. Constitution, I can Not see a bunch of rich men writing up something that fair and great on their own ? !
They’ve no business taking away the means of self-defense as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. They don’t even have the right to know who owns firearms, or where they live. We have a right to privacy under the Constitution. Neither do they have the right to dictate what kind of firearms we can buy.
Has anyone wondered why for the past 6 years now that this country has a man sitting in the White House and hasn’t been put out, along with his pals? Because God is in control and He has allowed this to happen. Why? Be cause we as a nation have sinned and are paying for it. Until we get down on our knees and beg him to forgive us of our sins and begin to change and obey him, things could get a whole lot worse. I feel we do have a chance of getting this country back without bloodshed, but only with the help of Jesus Christ and God the father. They are waiting on us, not the other way around. As far as our guns go…we have a right to bear arms. Our Constitution is still our Constituttion no matter who trys to take it from us.
I think there was a time somewhere around the U.S. Revolutionary War that American men over 18 were required to own a rifle ?
Our Constitution was written for a people who were willing to govern themselves, and take personal responsibility for their actions. it will not work in a nation of lawlessness. Selfishness and selfish ambition has gripped our nation. Without a strong government we would have anarchy. We must regain our moral fiber before we can have limited government and real freedom.
All to often the educated and those in power over others, feel that they have the right to decide what is best for all; even when it goes against the very foundations that their government was founded upon. These people have failed to remember that our Government was founded upon the individual. The individual has a right to say how he will live and participate in his government. The Government is not one voice nor is it a group of people; but of all the people. It is the citizens right and responsibility to guide his government through men and women whom the citizen appoints to do the day to day details.
It is through compromise and common sense that the needs of the people be met. Our representatives need to hear the voices of the people, follow the directions set forth by the documents that established our great nation above all others.
Unfortunately, our representatives have gotten greedy, lazy, and stagnant. They have learned to put themselves before the people that have voted them into office. The benefits that they have and will received while in office has made it all to easy for these representatives to look down upon the common citizen and steal from the citizen his birthright.
It is up to the citizen to remind these representatives that they are in office to benefit the people, not themselves. We do so by the way of the vote. It doesn’t matter what party these representatives belong to, vote them out and put someone that see things the way you do and is willing to work towards the goals you hold dear. We The People must end the Bull S#@t now and get the country back on tract. Use your VOTE. Use it wisely.
Has America forgotten how to march and protest?
If we would march in numbers for an extended period of time and occasionally, we would see a different US – one following the Constitution!
Let’s MARCH and PROTEST!
We haven’t forgotten, but the militarized swat teams are killing protesters out of hand these days. Until enough of us band together, we get moved like the grass on Saturday.
The swat teams, that are killing for no reason at all. Not as you state, “killing protesters our of hand.” These are swat teams contracted by police departments that kill for the thrill of it. It protects the police department from liability.
And the contracted swat team just moves on down the road to its next job and police depts. say, “It wasn’t us.”
WE THE PEOPLE, not we the government we need to take AMERICA back liberalism is a cancer and it needs to be abolished it has done nothing but ruin this country THE SLEEPING GIANT NEEDS TO RISE UP AGAIN ! GOD,GUTS AND GLORY !! this is what made this country strong
People who want to protect gun rights should keep pointing out that it is those with mental/emotional problems who are the issue, not their guns. Recently a young student came to his school with a knife and injured several people before he was stopped. Would banning guns have prevented that incident? Will we next start to ban knives?
No one of sound mind thinks that killing or harming strangers at a school or mall or business will improve their lives. We need to take better care of our troubled youth and adults rather than take weapons away from everyone indiscriminately.
To anyone with an objective viewpoint the 2cnd amendment was not about duck hunting, target practice or collections of weapons, it was about bearing an arm that you could possibly have to defend your life with. And the government not interfering with your ability to do so. It is a basic tenet of freedom in a country of free people, who elect there own government. A government that is suppose to serve them … not its own self-interest or re-election aspirations. Or play party politics with the people’s rights.
Insinuating we have no real intelligence the govt and media come up with fright words, phrases and their own ideas of political correctness which many follow as its the easy thing to do. One of those is “Assault weapon”. The buzz-word terminology could just as easily be called an ”insult weapon” because that’s exactly what it is. Legislation started being crafted after the movie “Heartbreak Ridge” using this word that had no common usage or definition before. Weapons this label applies to do not fire automatically, or any differently than a common deer rifle so do not represent a greater “threat” as the lay person is led to believe. The term insinuates a military arm, not many soldiers would purposely carry a weapon into battle that didn’t have the capability to fire automatically. Automatic weapons need a special license and have since the 1930’s. But the word inspires fear in the general public. A public that includes an occasional demented individual who might feel the need to corroborate that fear. So who is really instigating those nut-cases?
I say HOORAY for Susquehanna County,Pennsylvania!!
Read the following:
1. Hosea 4:6 2. 2 Chronicles 7:14
3. Research who the “MY PEOPLE” are that are mentioned in 1 & 2.
4. Then read all of Deuteronomy chapter 28 to understand the blessings and curses of “MY PEOPLE”
It will reveal the past, present and future of the western world if they don’t get #1 & #2.
As an individual you must repent or perish.
As a nation we must repent or perish.
The choice is ours to make, both individually and nationally. “choose ye this day whom you will serve”
I agree! God always starts with the believers, they are to repent. Our pulpits are filled with people pleaser’s, and we have forgotten our first love, and He who has blessed America. We gave the Jews a temporary homeland when others would not.
We don’t need guns, money or anymore blessings, we just need to turn to His Majesty, The Lord of this earth and our Salvation and ask forgiveness, for wanting another King Saul, when all we need is Him.
Imagine that our government might want to consider representing the people first and the special interest not. I for one would stand up and march on the Capitol Mall like we did for Civil Rights in the sixties. The Boomer Generation just need a little shove and spring weather in Washington to rise and defeat the oligopoly that strangles our Nation with their self interest and greed.

It is comforting to know someone in authority is standing up for the American people and the constitution.
I don’t think the government listens to anything the people say except for small interests groups that Obama wants to capitalize on in his favor for his agendas. I don’t believe anything the government says and I certainly don’t trust them. I was glad to serve 26 years as a special operations pilot and now it sickens me to think of serving this country that I don’t believe in. I’m glad I have God almighty the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. My Jesus and the Holy Spirit are what get me through each day. God will judge this country. The writing is on the wall. It’s just a matter of his timing unless this country turns rom it’s wicked ways. The rebellious country of Israel in the old testament is an perfect example of what we see today. I pray for this country everyday and that is the only way my voice will be heard.
This RIGHT is CAST IN STONE by GOD Himself. Hands off the FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS of the United States Constitution.
Remember the Spartan 300! No defeat, No surrender, TOTAL and COMPLETE VICTORY.
Kenneth,
You do realize how the movie ended. It’s a nice idea, but they all DIED! People should think first before reacting.
Seth,
You do remember how the war eventually played out, don’t you? The persians went on to attack the Greeks and lost. The Greeks became the dominant force in the “western” world for long enough that the Romans had to learn the Greek language!
Seth,
Have you ever heard of Patrick Henry? He was one of the attendees of the Virginia Convention in March of 1775. The group was debating how to resolve the crisis with Great Britain—through force or through peaceful ends. Henry sounded the call to arms, saying, “Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? … Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
Ever since then, Americans heard his call, many have paid the supreme price for our freedom; 1.5 million Americans have paid this price since the start of this country beginning to now. They want to insure and secure freedom for themselves, their family and neighbors, and their country. Would you cower before your enemy or stand on your feet and go toe to toe for your rights, believes, your freedom?
As for me, I prefer to die on my feet fighting than to be on bended knee before my enemy. That is my right as a man, as an American.
I have constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Obama and the dimwits in congress want to take these rights away. yes even some dumbass americans agree with this stupidity. What if your house was broken into you and your wife tied up your daughter raped in front of you I bet you wished you had a gun then. What good would it do to call the police then. Yes i do agree that any unstable person or criminal should not have a gun. Stand up america get with anyone you know who has or beleive in gun ownership call your congressman now and let him know how you feel. Maybe we the people should march to the whitehouse bearing arms in a peacefull dimenstration. TAKE BACK AMERICA!
Is it possible that the only thing understood by tyrants is brute force? I pray for Christ to invoke Ps 109:8 if that is the only option to us, for He knows what’s best. Perhaps we’re being punished for our lack of following His statutes, there’s a lot of precedence for that.
Pass a Constitutional law stating that anyone trying to subvert any part of the United States Constitution will be charged with TREASON and will be shot on sight by ANYONE. Anyone not obeying the OATH OF OFFICE TO BE PUT IN PRISON OR BE PUT DOWN LIKE A DOG BY ANYONE!
Let me know what you think about that. I am tired of treasonal acts by our representatives
well said. a lot of good people making this America what it WAS. let us not forget that and bring America to its right full place in the world as a freedom fighting country. rally the cause and make us great again. I’m am an American vet and a native American. jerry night owl
Ray,
The problem is this and I am sure you have seen it in your community; when you shoot someone with out a trail you end up with a one sided opinion or account to justify the means of using deadly force. Sounds familiar? Well, it should. This is how our law enforcement have been behaving these past twenty years or so. They use brute force to obtain superiority over the citizenry. By subjecting them to this extreme force they not only protect themselves from retribution but put themselves in the light of justice and righteous before the citizenry. They proclaim that they are upholding the laws of the land and have done so for your protection.
Ray, are you aware that in the Muslim countries like Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia that you can be killed on the streets because a citizen has taken offence of how you talked about Allah. All is needed is a witness saying that you said something offensive against Allah and the courts would deem it a justifiable homicide, even if you didn’t say a word about Allah.
So is this what you want in our country? Is this how you want to live in our country? Perhaps you should be concern with life and how to live with others. It is easy to kill but it is so damn hard to live and let live.
I would be more concern with the law enforcement and their ways that to worry about some wayward loud mouths. We can vote our representatives in or out of office, but death is final.
These types of resolutions are not a waste of time, nor is an individual voicing their opinion to a congressman or senator a waste of time. I remember reading once that when a letter is received by a government official, they consider the stand taken to be that of ten other constituents who did not voice their opinion, although I think a 1 for 10 ratio is very low in reality!
Jason,
How many times has your Senator or Congressman read your letter? If they did in fact read your letter, how many times have they just tossed your letter in the circular file cabinet? (the garbage can by their desk.)
The only way your representatives really know that you think or feel is when you give them a call and leave your message. Burn the phone lines up with your concerns. Then follow it up with a letter, certified. This is how they know what you have to say is important.
Speaking softly will get you a smile and maybe a few words of lip service. But a phone call during business hours voicing your opinion, forces them to take time to listen and perhaps answering your concerns. Only to have you send a certified letter, which forces them to sign for it, just makes their day. It is the squeaky wheel that gets fixed first. So, make your squeak be heard loud and clear.
just leave me alone. I don’t like the idea of loosing my rights to own and carry a firearm, but what are we to do. GET RID OF THE PRESIDENT. FIRE HIM. HE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW. HE IS THE PROBLEM.
Martha, work within the political structure. Voice your concerns, get involve, seek others that feel like you do. push the issue before your representatives. Read all the laws that come before you and know what you are reading. If you don’t or you can’t then find someone that can help you navigate the legalese BS.
Your true power is in your voice. You can speak out, you can write your opinion and send it to someone that will print it or read it to others. Most importantly your VOTE. Use it, it will work if everyone else does the same.
They fail to see that most gun crimes are done with unlawful ownership anyways. They will get them unlawfully any ways and in that way they know that it can not be traced back to them. I once heard that there was a county, state, city where you could not purchase land without a firearms permit and that they had less crime than anyone else in the united states per capita. That makes sense because knowing that everyone that you may try to perpetrate a crime with will probably have a gun..MAKE YOU THINK TWICE.
Law bidders will not have guns and criminals will get them anyways. The argument that the authorities will protect you……they can’t be everywheres!
As we should already know. The main thing we should be doing is to wright to our one state representatives and let them know our stand on the Second Amendment. And if our representative is already sportive still thank them for their support. This is even more defective than only signing the NRA’s potions.
Wayne
Wayne,
Our representatives already know how we feel about the second amendment. Unfortunately they also know how victims of gun violence feel about the circumstances of losing their love ones.
Our representatives now must walk a line. How to control the violence, keep the 2nd Amendment off their backs and take the lobbyist’s monies.
My suggestions are: 1.) enforce the laws on the books already to have and own a gun. 2.) Create a few new laws that hold the owners responsible for their weapons. Foe example, all register gun owners must go through a certified gun course. This will include the use and up keep of your weapon and the laws involved in using your weapon. 3.) You will be held liable should your weapon be used in a crime because you failed to put a gun lock on your weapon or allow access to a unsecure weapon by a minor. I’m sure you get the picture.
Personally, I would prefer that the NRA take the lead on this. After all, the NRA set the standards.
I’ve lived in Colorado most of my life, had a job transfer in 2005 and came back home in 2009. I know some change was happening in Colorado since 9/11 but I was amazed at the change in mentality with ANY “Political Issue”. Colorado, in my eyes, had always been a pro 2A state. I live in the Denver metro area and today, I would say my neighborhood is evenly divided against/pro 2A. First I always bust out the Constitution and Bill of Rights and read it to them. Then I argue with them about the right to defend yourself or the revenue our state takes in from out of state hunting permits and the loss of that revenue from more gun control. Businesses leaving the state from gun control laws – lost revenue and lost jobs, like we have so many. Well I just got my Freedom 1st issue last Friday and how proud I was to see the “Troops” from Pueblo on the cover.
They took the bull by the horns and flipped them out. Giron from Pueblo and Morse from the Springs and We The People of Colorado are now going after Hudak. The gun laws passed last March and signed in by the worst Governor of Colorado ever… Hickenlooper… this was wrong and we are not going to take it from those who chose not to listen. We’re starting in our own backyard, taking out the trash.
Here is some info on Colorado’s first recall ever…

Here is the latest effort to recall another state senator in Colorado –
http://www.recallhudaktoo.org/
Its one thing to take out the trash, just don’t forget to burn it too.
Personally, I think gun ownership SHOULD be restricted to law enforcement and security personnel.
Legal hunters should be allowed possession only with a thorough background check. Sorry that I do not agree with you on every one having that right. That was when people had to protect themselves from outlaws and indians–and to hunt for food. We have law persons to protect us now and Indians do not attack us anymore. There are just too many guns in our society now. They SHOULD be controlled
You are a pathetic, mis-informed, ill-educated person that represents the worse element of a free society. LEO’s DO NOT have the capability or responsibility to protect you from eminent danger/harm. It is your personal responsibility as it has been throughout history.
Mary,
I respect your opinion. However, it is flawed on so many levels that I find it hard to start somewhere. Owning a weapon is a great responsibility. It is, in fact, a matter of life or death. You pull the trigger, you can never take it back.
Law enforcement and security personnel haven’t been doing so well lately. They seem to lack the common sense that GOD gave a billy goat. To many times they have exceeded the boundaries of justifiable force. Out of fear of breaking the very laws that they swore to uphold and protect they have lied and covered up their mistakes at the cost of the very foundation that this country was founded upon. The very people that they swore to protect become victims of their indiscretions.
When Billy Bad Asses and Pancho Villa’s want-a-bes come knocking on your door; what are you going to do Mary? Open your doors wide and let them in. Call the police later, if you survive the assault. Or do you defend yourself and call the police and hope that they show up in time, reinforcements are on their way.
A weapon (Gun) is a tool. Just like any other tool it must be used in the proper way, in defense of your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. If your pursuit is not to own a weapon, then don’t prevent others from owning theirs. Please read my comments to Wayne (above) and see if you can live with what I had said.
GOD bless you Mary, for speaking your mind. This is what our country is all about.
Sweet Thing, you had better take a look around you…The wolves are at your doorstep! You have an uncontrollable president who thinks he is a King and you have delusional drones following the king child like puppy dogs. When a govt becomes overbearing and starts to usurp our Bill of Rights, then our whole world of freedoms is in danger.
What the clowns in D.C. want you to think is that if all guns were removed, there would be no more mass killings or any killings period. They are 100% wrong! First of all, GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE DO. Secondly, do you honestly think the criminals in this world will give up their guns? Of course not. So now you have no way to protect your family from a predator, be it human or creature if your gun is taken away. Thirdly, if you are female or a senior citizen, you are not as strong or quick as a man to disarm someone meant to harm you…you had better have a gun to stop them in their tracks. Besides if you check the response times for our police or sheriffs, you will find out that they will not get there to help you in time to save your life. What are you going to do? Lie down and play dead?
Lastly, should Martial Law be declared (which bho was on the verge of doing recently until someone with common sense talked him down) the government via military personnel can enter your home and forcibly remove anything or anyone they want, whenever they want. Have you ever lived in a country that was taken over by another country or even it’s own military? My mother in law lived during the Russian occupation of Hungary and the atrocities they endured would give you chills. They had no weapons, but she was a tiny spitfire of a woman and even a huge Russian Soldier backed off when she got in his face. Today, you would not be so lucky…unless you were armed.
Question: do you know how to handle a gun? If not, go learn at a shooting range…many have instructors who will teach you safe ways to handle and shoot a gun. Most people who are against guns are frightened of them because they do not know how to handle them. Learn, become proficient in its use, and teach the children around you about the RESPONSIBILITY of owning and shooting a gun…and that it is NOT A TOY AND MUST NOT BE TOUCHED WITHOUT YOU BEING PRESENT. Don’t be frightened…grasp the fear and learn how to protect yourself. You owe it to yourself and those you love.
taking our guns is exactly what Adolf Hitler did and every other dictater that was in power!
It also leaves us as a family with no protection.The police is only a cleanup crew anymore,They arrive after the people are dead and the damage is done.Face its the truth.Letting countless
prisoners out by the thousands just makes things worse because our justice system has failed us.
Protecting these prisoners and calling them rights is wrong.where do they get off having rights after killing and murdering,running mobs inside the prison.RIGHTS really?Our justice system does not take out the trash and so it grows.It does’nt take a rocket scientist to figure this out,Our prisons are not being run like prisons and so they can reach out and get me and my family.I dont beleive our president cares about the people at all just his agenda to become the next dictater.
our justice system does not take out the trash
Agreed that we keep our constitutional rights. Tell Obama & his regime to shove it. If they don’t like this country & our constitution, leave (& I’ll be glad to help them pack).
The only thing they are trying to do is removed the Constitution and they will not stop until we the people get together and stop there agenda.
Historically, every government that has sought to strip citizens of personal choices, the ability to defend themselves, and freedom of expression, has become an overbearing entity. Usually, either a dictator, or governing structure which jails persons, tortures and punishes them, while enriching the ruling class! Given human nature, and history, it’s no wonder our way of life is being threatened after 237 years, by a narccistic, corrupt, and lawless leadership. It’s God’s judgement on nation!
We’ve turned our backs on him, so he’s lifted his protective hand off the United States, as of 9-11!
I THINK THAT ARE GOVERNMENT IS VERY WRONG IN DOING WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO TO US CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. I SERVED THIS COUNTRY BY JOINING THE ARMY FOR 20 YEARS. WHEN I TOOK THE OATH FOR THE MILITARY, IT WAS FOR PROTECTING OUR CONSTITUTION, AGAINST ALL FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC TYRANTS, AND TREASON. OUR GOVERNMENT IS BECOMING MORE OF A TYRANT AS WELL GOING AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTION, I WOULD CALL THAT TREASON! WE NEED TO GET RID OF ALL THE GARBAGE IN CONGRESS, THE PRESIDENCY, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, ETC. Al
Amen, Staff Sargent Foley
I feel that this action from Pennsylvania does send a strong message about the people refusing to give in to injustice and the robbing of our freedoms and rights. Every state should follow suit and make an even bigger statement. I feel it is inevitable that a revolution will happen to stop this tyrannical government. I feel the best way to start is for everyone that has the urge to make posts via Facebook, Twitter or any other means….make sure that the info given is accurate and professional without any exaggeration. It is a few steps backwards when any information is skewed. Most people are quick to judge and use titles such as conspiracy theorists and so on…I talk to everyone who will listen about losing our rights and freedoms using facts. I am glad to do my part in helping to inform the nonbelievers.
Thank-You Thomas. It is a start.
I don’t really think anything the American people can say or do at this point will sway Barack Obama’s intentions of disarming and conquering the American people! He is determined to destroy America as we know it and transform it into a socialist state.
I do believe we will have a say in our second amendment rights only when they come to take our guns away; We will have to give them the bullets first, and only then will they get the guns!
Every legitimate law enforcement officer in the USA should take an oath to protect and defend the constitution and anyone who violates said oath should be shot on site as a traitor!
All we can do is to replace him with someone that knows what we want and willing for preserve and protect our 2nd amendments rights and other Constitution rights.
Any voice not raised is a voice not heard. We need more!
VOICES!
Leave our rights alone to protect life & property
I really appreciate it.
I’m on concerned American citizen.
Thank you
Rickert Lee Tuck
Mr. Tuck, you are not alone.
I could not have said it better.
Thanks !!!
That is a start. But I believe if there were many county’s were to pass the same gun legislation that we the people had as a country back in 1791, it would tell the government that we were not going to go peacefully. I think it would make an impression. Then raise it to a state level. I believe the federal government would understand we were serious. As congress would be a believer also. I believe that is why we have not been invaded over the years. the world knows we are armed and ready to fight for our rights.
Frank,
It is far past the time that we stood up to our government. We should have taken to the streets when congress passed the first law that applied to us, but not them.
Maybe now that more and more people are living in fear or our own government, hopefully we have reached critical mass, and a serious movement can be mounted to do what needs to be done.
Obama is looking for just such an uprising. He already signed an executive order that basically allows him to take control of the government should he decided to declare a national emergency. http://www.independentsentinel.com/executive-order-1360/ There are many other things happening to where the government and military are gearing up to go to war against the citizens of this country.
Impeach him on treason . Now !!!!
Leave our guns alone. It’s sad that anyone would have to continue a fight for a Constitutional right that was signed into law in 1791, but that’s what it has come to in this country.
I totally agree, Americans have been intimidated into silence. We have become excessively complacent. Its true that for the most part, we are afraid of lash back from the government We cite scripture and reference the constitution, but what are we actually doing to preserve the future of America for our posterity? Nothing, nothing. We all have heard, if you are not willing to stand for something, you stand for nothing. For the protection of our families, our lives, the future. By having this mindset, the silence is actually viewed by people and our government as acceptance of whatever they want to do and will continue to do. The time is now to come together as a nation and oppose this evil. It is very strong words, but when you follow the scriptures and your strength comes from the Lord, you do not have a choice, but to oppose anything that does not align and opposes the word of God. 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, Be on alert, stand firm in all faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. There are many more however, the words are very far reaching as to how a believer is to live. Definitely not in fear of anything or anyone (our governing officials, local, state, or federal) we are to oppose evil, its black and white. I would like to end by saying, what are you going to do with your God given rights, if you do nothing, you are saying I agree and am standing against the Lord, think about that! Which side are you standing on? I would like to leave a copy of a recent letter I emailed to President Obama, but there it not enough room in this comment section. I was respectful of the office, but
didn’t mix words, we have an right, duty and obligation to God and our country to stand together, united we are still a force to be reckoned with, don’t believe the government and media, look to our Creator and through our obedience and love for Him and others, He will provide for all our needs, and more than we could ever ask for. Amen
Well said Gary, Well said.
I’m a vet, my family on one side goes back to Elizabeth Alden on the other to the reverend Rogers I family that fought on both sides of the Civil war. Yes we need to keep up the pressure to support and maintain our (the people’s Constitution) just as much as the government is trying to take it apart for their own agenda.
It doesn’t matter what they pass or do not pass about guns. The damage is already done. We can’t get the AMMO now! The guns are useless without the ammo! It’s so hard to come by now we can’t go target practicing let alone subsistence hunting. These guys letting go with wild shooting sprees have to have been hoarding ammo for a long time to be able to waste so much good ammo on that stuff.
That is the beauty of the government’s idea. Give everyone a weapon; but just don’t hand out the ammo. This way everyone is happy. You have your weapon and the other people are happy that you can’t use them.
Any change in the US Constitution or Bill of Rights should be placed on a voting ballot and let the voting public determine their desires. This should not be by Congressional opinion but by popular vote. This should also apply to all political voting for public office including the President of the United States. Get rid of the Electoral College. Most of us know that any College graduate is not qualified for any job or position, their “paper” simply, if they are lucky, gets them in the door. Then they have to prove themselves worthy. Any public office salary, pay raises and all benefits, I.e., health, retirement, vacation, etc. should also be made by popular vote and apply to all federal elected officials. This thought applies to all State, County and local officials as well.
Of course this implies that all eligible (legal) voters only get one vote and have to get off their duffs and get out and vote. IMHO.
This is a free country, and everyone should have the right to express their opinion, but remember…. everyone who starts these conversations doesn’t have the same motivations…they may just be data collectors…be careful as to what you put in writing, if you think they can’t find you from your data trail I have some land in Florida I want to sell you.
I have a couple of bridges for sell, Golden Gate and the Brooklyn bridges. Your pick, for either coast. :-)
Take guns away from the people and criminals and government will run over us.
I believe the science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein said it best in many of his novels, “the very fact of desiring the position should be the best reason for denying a person the position”, or words to that effect. The premise that anyone who would actively seek governmental power should thereby automatically deny them that power seems to me to be more and more proven out as our government continues down its chosen path. Unfortunately I don’t see a lot of difference between political parties, no one now days seems willing to accept responsibility for their own actions and thoughts, attempting to “hide” in the mass decisions by committee to preserve their own power. Mitt Romney, during this past election unfortunately was right in his statement about the infamous “47%” that receive their “allotted due” from government largess, being the largest most focused voter group in the country. It is a “poison pill” for any politician to talk about openly but it does exist and is a fact and until we eliminate this percentage by jobs, education, term limits and bring back morality and personal responsibility we will have to continue to fight for the rights in the Constitution. The statement that “Freedom isn’t Free” applies to the civilian population as well as to our military, and unfortunately the population of the US seems to have forgotten this. It is time for the “Second American Revolution”!!
If you refuse to listen to the report of the individuals who make up this great country, then you will surely hear the report from my pistols, and my rifles, when you come to take them. I will not register them either, since that is just a veiled attempt to entrap/register lawful citizens for your attempted confiscation plan. If you break Constitutional law, then it is my DUTY, to correct your viewpoint, and I WILL NOT SHIRK MY RESPONSIBILITY/DUTY.
THE GOVERNMENT IS TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE BUT WITH THE OBAMA ADMIN, ITS LIKE THE TAIL WAGING THE DOG. BIG GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO GET INTO EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES!
Use the same words in the bill that our government said about Obama Care.
The Constitution of the United States Of America and all writtings with in it may not be alterd or deceived of saying anything other than what is written. The Contstitution is the THE LAW OF THE LAND !
I all bout this do not touch Our guns & this as just about all the rights we have left we can let the Government take & control rights to protect our self
it didn’t work in Canada and it certainly won’t work in the states. the only thing that happened here in Canada is the gov- spent hundreds of millions of dollars running the program only to lift the registry just recently because they discovered what every law biding citizen knew from the start, it doesn’t WORK!!!!!
It sure makes the criminals happy though.
Don’t Tread On Me I Bite Back!!!
If our government has ulterior motives, to benefit themselves, which I’m sure they do, then I would also tell the Feds.: Don’t touch “my” gun(s) too! Pretty shi_ _y and chickensh_t! If our government knows who/whom might be worthy of spying on, and taking certain person’s guns away, what kind of constitutionalism is this? Too much crap to handle for me!
Please take a few minutes to Stand up and be heard! Let them know you don’t consent. Let them know You won’t bend over and Lick their boots!
