The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

Another 4 Years

Today is a federal holiday and ordinarily, I would be enjoying my day off and maybe even catching up on a little TV. Today is also Inauguration Day and I refuse to turn on the TV, knowing full well I'd be inundated with all the pomp associated with another 4 years of this moron named Obama.

I make no bones about the fact that I didn't vote for him. I don't know too many people who did, but then again I live in a red state. Many idiots voted for Obama strictly based on the color of his skin. I don't have any black friends that did. Then again, my black friends work for a living, have an education and are not dependent upon the government to get them through their every day lives. Like the rest of us, we do what we can to make ends meet and try to stay away from government assistance. It was once the great American way...to work for what you wanted. Now, many expect that their wants and needs will be taken care of by someone else because everyone owes it to them. That's sad. It's not who we ever were.

There are also many of us who are simply fed up with our government representatives. Who do they actually stand for besides themselves? I'm having my doubts about our election process. Obama winning a second term was rigged....I'm convinced of it. It doesn't matter. Unless he's impeached or resigns, we're stuck with him for another 4 years.

Obama doesn't care about your rights. He's consistently stepping on toes and wiping his feet on the Constitution. His views do not mimic what we as citizens of these great United States would like. His views do not stand for the republic nor do his outlandish laws serve any useful purpose but to cause so much divisiveness. Some believe that our ruler has a method to all this madness and it isn't in our best interest.

Obama doesn't want law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. To me, this is asking for trouble. How much crime do law enforcement officers deal with that are committed by illegal aliens? Depending on certain demographics, I'd say more than half. Now, knowing full well that his logic tends to lean too far to the left, he is punishing every citizen based on the actions of a number of mentally ill people who killed innocent people with firearms. He came up with some ideas. Ideas that have already been batted around a number of times. Maybe more police in schools will help deter crimes. By all means, if the government will subsidize or fund it, make it happen. It's unfortunate, but necessary. Will banning certain firearms, ammo and magazine capacities make a difference? Highly unlikely.
Perhaps the President would like to keep an eye on all the courts that make back room deals with Judges, prosecutors, and attorneys who allow repeat violent offenders plea deals. Most of these violent offenders have no moral compass and are released only to commit violent crimes again and again.

The one glaring common denominator in all these mass shootings is mental illness. How does the President propose to keep firearms away from the mentally ill without stigmatizing people or causing Doctors to put their careers on the line should they make the wrong diagnosis? What about that reasonable expectation of privacy? Labeling people as "unstable" without violating HIPPA laws is a slippery slope.

Obama's arrogance is immeasurable. Today, he once again swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. The Constitution clearly states that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed. This is angering many people and is causing chaos and panic in the gun industry far beyond what they saw in 2008 when Obama was first elected.

How does Obama expect law enforcement will receive these unlawful orders? Does he think that law enforcement in the U.S. will blindly follow the leader and take away the guns from their citizens? Many Sheriffs are taking a stance and are doing so by not only utilizing certain media outlets, but they're also doing it the old fashioned way...in a signed letter to the VP. Check out this site. My 3 favorite Sheriffs have made their voices clear. They will not enforce unconstitutional laws.

SHERIFFS TAKE A STAND

Milestone

I can't believe I've been at this for 4 years already and have hit the 50,000 mark. I even have 8 followers. Wow, that's what I call "a following."

In all seriousness, whoever you may be and wherever you may be, thanks for reading my rants.

Is the NRA Up to the Job?


Yesterday was Obama's big day. He presented 23 proposals that, by executive order, are going to become the law of the land. Gun sales were already up after this tragic incident in Connecticut. Sales spiked again yesterday and today, with people now purchasing hordes of ammunition. High capacity magazines and AR type rifles are long gone, with some sellers asking double, and sometimes triple their original cost.

The action the Obaminator has taken has been shoved down the throats of citizens by way of the guilt factor. Yes, it's all in the best interest of the children. It's best to disarm everyone and that is supposed to make it all better - that it will help prevent more tragic shootings by mentally ill persons. IT WILL NOT. I'd like to say that people are outraged enough that something will be done to prevent this blatant attack on our Constitutional rights.



Interestingly enough, this chain of events has not only caused record gun and ammo sales, it has had a direct result on NRA membership. The NRA now boasts that membership has increased by 250,000 in just one month.

 I certainly hope that they are up to the task at hand. We must not surrender to the whims of the liberal idiots who find guns so offensive. The President's actions are reprehensible and he should not be allowed to force his socialist beliefs upon our free thinking society.  I'm tired of kissing ass in an effort to be more politically correct.

Pro gun politicians have already made it clear their intent to bar Obama's little foray down this road. While I say that I agree to some of their proposals, others are a joke and an insult to the intelligence of responsible gun owners. Some are just good in theory, but difficult to piece together and make work.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers are now taking a stance. Linn County, OR, Sheriff Tom Mueller
wrote a letter to the Vice President essentially telling old Joe that he wasn't going to enforce something that was a direct violation of Constitutional rights, rights that he is sworn to uphold.
One of my favorite Sheriffs, J. Al Cannon, Esq., of Charleston County, SC also made a press statement  concerning his take on the matter.

I foresee a long hard fight ahead.

Are our Gun Rights in Jeopardy?

There's been a frenzied atmosphere in most gun shops as of late. The intensity of emotions resonating from gun owners and buyers ranges from fear of anarchy and chaos, to downright defiance of the government's potential ban on firearms. People are worried and scared. Many have predicted that riots will ensue when guns are taken and some whisper plans of making a stand. It's a situation of great concern for everyone.

Gun stores are running out of everything and just can't keep up with the supply and demand. Some are claiming price gouging during this sudden spate of gun and ammo purchasing. The statistics in the last 3 weeks alone would surprise and frighten those anti gun folks. Those in favor of gun rights, it doesn't surprise them at all. Obama is the greatest gun salesman the US has ever seen.

Some sick sons of bitches have wreaked havoc and death upon innocent children and adults. Terrorists do that. So do the mentally ill. It is indeed a sad set of circumstances and something does need to be done to prevent it from continuing. But what? How do we screen the mentally ill and keep them from legal firearms? How will banning assault rifles fix this problem?

To take away a person's Constitutional right to keep and bear arms seems an extreme course of action. Then again, His Royal Highness, the Obama idiot, wants to effectively strip away your rights and he will do it by Executive Order and to hell with everyone.

One industrious member of the left wing liberal news media in one of those radical blue states up north, takes it upon themselves to access all the gun owners database in one particular county, and then publishes the names of all those who have registered firearms. Now, what exactly was this jack ass trying to prove?
You really have to question the motivation behind this act of selfish stupidity. In actuality, those whose names were published were just law abiding citizens. They did what their little government asked them do and "registered" their firearms. Does the criminal element follow the letter of the law and tell the government about their guns? Oh, hell no.
Frankly, it only proved that the writer of that article, his editor, and the entire newspaper staff are a bunch of like minded half assed morons who just can't see the big picture.
So what is the bigger picture?

Who are we really controlling when we enact so-called "gun laws?" With so much violence in the world, that's just one more reason for me to keep my guns and ammo.

It seemed like more than half the nation had had enough of this hope and change bullshit and that this El Presidente jackass would be history. No such luck. I swear the election was rigged. That's my theory.
Interestingly enough, there's this sudden look at the 22nd Amendment, also known as the 2 term presidential limit. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
