More Gun Laws

(This is an edited version of an email I received, author unknown.)

A few thoughts on more gun laws:

A person steals several guns (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
shoots and kills his own mother (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
transports loaded guns (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
brings guns onto school property (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
breaks into the school (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
discharges the guns within city limits (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
murders 26 people (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW),
and commits suicide (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW).

But there are people in this country that somehow think passing MORE GUN LAWS would protect us from someone like this.

If you haven’t noticed, people like this are not concerned about obeying laws — they only care about satisfying their own twisted desires.

The only people that additional gun legislation would impact are LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, which will only serve to cripple their ability to protect themselves and their loved ones, friends and neighbors.

A Doomsday Provision

The following is by a Truth is Reason reader from Connecticut

Guns are not the problem.

Is everyone up in arms to take cars away from law abiding citizens because some choose — yes choose — to drink and drive?!?

We already have strict laws against drunk driving, so why are there still drunk driving fatalities? Maybe we need to make the laws even more strict? That should do it!!!

Banning guns from law abiding citizens will not prevent criminals and the criminally insane from obtaining guns or other means to carry out their crimes.

Report shows UN admitting solar activity may play significant role in global warming

Reported By Fox News on 2013-02-01

“A leaked report by a United Nations’ group dedicated to climate studies says that heat from the sun may play a larger role than previously thought…. Even after the IPCC acknowledges extensive evidence for … solar forcing beyond what they included in their models, they still make no attempt to account for this omission in their predictions.”

Liberty Endangerment

An Ohio father was arrested — charged with child endangerment and held on $2,000 bond — for simply posting to Facebook a photo showing himself with his one year old daughter on his lap, while holding a gun in his right hand, pointed away from the child [ref].

Dominic Gaines’ gun turned out to be a BB gun. But that doesn’t matter.

Court documents claimed that “due to the close proximity of the BB gun to the child, there is a substantial risk of physical harm and safety of the child.”

Draft UN climate report shows 20 years of overestimated global warming, skeptics warn

Reported By Fox News on 2013-01-28

“CO2 is not nearly as strong a climate driver as the IPCC has been assuming. This is the possibility they do not allow to be considered, because it would end all of their policy-changing goals…”

To Greener Pastures

Tina Turner just announced that she is awaiting approval for Swiss citizenship, and planning on relinquishing her U.S. citizenship. She’s lived in Switzerland for over 15 years [ref].

“I’m very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here,” Turner said. “I cannot imagine a better place to live.” [ref]

Leaked UN climate report slammed for citing WWF, Greenpeace

Reported By Fox News on 2013-01-23

“The IPCC sees nothing wrong with activist perspectives. That’s what gives the game away. That’s what tells us that what’s going on at the IPCC is not science.”

Dissecting the Second Amendment

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is very succinct:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. [United States Constitution, Amendment II]

Twenty-seven words. One sentence. Simple vocabulary. It amazes me that there is any question whatsoever over what it means. Taken at face value, and in the context of who it was written by, and when it was written, there can be no doubt.

A well regulated Militia
What is a militia? From dictionary.com:

Honesty is the Best Policy

Lately America has been inundated with lies and liars. Not that lying is a recent or an American phenomenon. Lies have been corrupting mankind since the father of all lies deceived Eve. But it almost seems like lies and deception now are the rule, not the exception. At least when it comes to public figures, politicians and star athletes.

Lance Armstrong. Tiger Woods. Al Gore. Barack Obama. Michael Moore. Idaho Senator Mike Crapo. NY Representative Anthony Weiner. Bill Clinton. And the most recent public figure caught lying: Notre Dame football star Manti T’eo.

Government Scientist Fired for Telling the Truth

Reported By townhall.com on 2013-01-18

“The Department of Interior is misleading the public and purging scientists who don’t go along with an increasingly radical green agenda. Eight government scientists were recently fired or reassigned after voicing concerns to their superiors about faulty environmental science used for policy decisions.” [YouTube video available also]
