Hello all! I haven't fallen in, just hanging on. I thought I'd swing by with a new verbal initiative that I'm hoping will catch on. It's all about the messaging!

Our friends on the left may like to call us the party of "No" but they're the party of "No you can't".

* No you can't have that burger
* No you can't have that soda
* No you can't have that big of a soda
* No you can't drive that car
* No you can't buy a gun
* No you can't buy that much ammo
* No you can't say the pledge of allegiance
* No you can't hang that picture of Jesus
* No you can't speak your mind
* No you can't live there
* No you can't earn that much money
* No you can't donate to charity
* No you can't save that much for retirement
* No you can't serve food to the homeless
* No you can't defend yourself
* No you can't give that job to that person
* No you can't refuse to let that bad person rent your house
* No you can't...

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I'd rather be Free thank you!

Pass it on!

I especially love the fact that many firearm manufacturers are starting to refuse to do business with States that have passed laws prohibiting Civilians to purchase the same weapons that law enforcement can. Granted it's not all of them but as I peruse various sites I see more and more of these declarations.

Politicians are notorious for unintended consequences.

Feds try to ban firearms, Feds try to strip the financial resources of firearm manufacturers, Firearm manufacturers refuse to sell to agencies, Feds need to buy firearms for themselves ... whoops! And for those companies that can't break their govt. contracts, these contracts are worth billions (with a "B"). Go ahead and force the banks to pull financing and it's no different than cutting off the nose to spite the face.

Nobody ever accused the government of being intelligent.

It was a list of companies and people that are openly supporting anti-gun legislation. They took it down after considerable backlash.

Here's a link to it from the Wayback Machine.

Most of this list shouldn't be of any surprise.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OFFICIALLY ABOLISHED THE INDIVIDUAL STATES IN 1972!
http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1179.cfm

This references Executive Order 11646 which, if you follow the revoked by chain, was revoked by Reagan in 1983.

EO 12407 signed by Reagan repeals the Federal Regional Councils

The claim is that those who will be leaders of these 10 regions may be the 10 horns referred to in Revelations 17:12

I've never hear of him before either, but his commentary makes a rather large and, in my opinion, incorrect assumption. His main premise is that the majority of the 30,000+ per year firearm related deaths are due to negligence. I am scrambling unsuccessfully to re-find the statistics but, if I recall correctly, the vast majority of the deaths are from illegally obtained firearms, gangs, etc. and not necessarily negligence. The majority of law abiding gun owners do properly care for their weapons. There are 100,000,000+ firearm owners who own something around 300,000,000+ firearms (avg 3 per person). 30,000 deaths from 300,000,000 firearms is .01%. So, in essence he's painting 99.99% of firearm owners as irresponsible.
