Ca. Law Allowing Seizure of Guns Without Notice Begins Jan. 1st

So, Ca. will not follow the 4th Amendment…..cops are in grave danger if they illegally start to kick in doors…….

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. This means that law enforcement agents need probable cause, and a warrant in most cases, to search your person or belongings. If there is no probable cause and you are searched illegally, any evidence collected from the search will be excluded from evidence at trial. This has come to be called the Exclusionary Rule.

Probable Cause – There must be enough evidence that a reasonable person would believe a crime was committed. This evidence is presented to a judge who must agree before authorizing the search by granting a warrant.

The purpose of the 4th Amendment is to protect people from being abused by a powerful government. There are strict rules that government agents must follow to search you and seize evidence. PERIOD!

It appears Ca. has no use for a Constitution that gets in the way of arrogant self serving politicians, who should all be recalled by the People of Ca.

In 2014 the legislature passed laws concerning firearms etc., and one was about active duty military people, they will no longer be required to take a safety course in order to apply for their gun license. I think it is a nice ‘gesture’, (or is it?) in recognition of our service men and women. But I also look at it another way, just because you no longer need the course, does that mean magically ‘somehow’ you will know what your legal responsibilities are and what the gun law ‘do’s and don’ts’ are?

An infraction of any gun law(s) usually means a felony count against you! In my opinion this is likely setting our service people up for failure.  Are politicians looking at this as a ‘we give you the LTC with one hand and take it away with the other’ ploy? 

I am a pessimist when it comes to politicians and their motives for doing anything, (usually self serving motives) in this anti gun state. So, if anyone you know is active duty and would like a gun license in Ma. please refer them to me, I will not charge them a cent, what I will do is instruct them to read certain article’s that I have written and posted on my #Gun Sense page so that they will not be uninformed about what they MUST know if they do not want a felony count against them in the future and loss of gun rights for life, fair enough?   Please pass this on.

A Liberal Supreme Court Ruling will make liberals EXPLODE! Good news for gun owners.
==============================================
On 6-26-2015, as you know, five liberal justices on the SCOTUS redefined what marriage is in America and also found the time to violate the concept of federalism. They decided that an individual’s behavioral choice was grounds to create a new “right” in the U.S. Constitution. Now of course there are those of you who are now somewhat despondent, but just know that in every storm there is a rainbow — Since now the SCOTUS has determined it can bequeath a right to marriage across all 50 states, there is an interesting point to be made.

As reported by BearingArms.com, “If you’re following any of the various media outlets this morning, you’re probably aware that the U.S. Supreme Court has just extended gay marriage to all 50 states. The Supreme Court ruled Friday, 6-26-2015 that same-sex couples have a ‘right’ to marry nationwide, in a historic decision that invalidates gay marriage bans in more than a dozen states. Gay and lesbian couples already can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The court’s ruling on Friday means the remaining 14 states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage. The outcome is the culmination of two decades of Supreme Court litigation over marriage, and gay rights generally.”

The Court used Section 1 of the Fourteen Amendment to justify its argument, which reads: Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Now here is the kicker, as the writer articulately brings to light: “By using the Constitution in such a manner, the Court argues that the Due Process Clause extends “certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy” accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of a handful of states that still banned the practice. For gun owners, the vast majority of states are “shall issue” on the matter of issuing concealed carry permits, and enjoy reciprocity with a large number of other states. My North Carolina concealed carry permit, for example, was recognized yesterday as being valid in 36 states, which just so happened to be the number of states in which gay marriage was legal yesterday. But 14 states did not recognize my concealed carry permit yesterday. Today, they MUST, due to this Supreme Court ruling!

Using the same “due process clause” argument as the Supreme Court just applied to gay marriage, my concealed carry permit MUST now be recognized as valid in all 50 states AND the District of Columbia!
Yes folks, there is a standing right called the Second Amendment, which grants the right to keep and bear arms, and that specifically granted right shall not be infringed. So, the SCOTUS does not need to have a court case and prolonged legal, judicial activism — that right exists.

So, since I have moved from Florida to Texas, my concealed weapons permit is not only transferrable here, but all across the country now, in all fifty states — or fifty-seven if you are President Obama….. Thanks to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,(LGBT) community for making it very clear, my constitutionally declared right MUST be recognized in every state! Not only is it my right to keep and bear my arms (weapons) but that “personal choice is central to my individual dignity and autonomy” — the protection of the unalienable rights granted to me by the Creator, the first of which is life. THIS is GREAT, I just cannot wait to hear the liberal progressive socialist anti-gun argument against this premise — which is now established!

NOTE: The Supreme Court started to stray from their sworn duty to follow the Constitution in the 1960s and instead morphed into two factions, Liberal and Conservative, which is NOT how our Founders set it up. The Liberals in this case, in their zeal to pander to a vocal minority group, over looked the side effect this would have across the board dealing with all other licenses…..GOOD! Now it is the law of the land!

Now I suppose someone will say that the words/quotes of Franklin, Mason, Jefferson, and Washington are invalid because of some lame excuse like, well you know, they owned slaves….. But the point is simple and easy to comprehend. If the SCOTUS could create a ‘right’ that was truly non-existent in the Constitution using the 14th Amendment, then it seems reasonable and logical to use the same Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment and equal protection to extend the concealed carry right to ALL 50 states.

So here is the call to action: since we are coming up on our 239th Independence Day celebration, let’s all call the White House and inform them that we CCL owners are going to be traveling for the Independence Day holiday and we plan on carrying our weapons wherever the heck we please. And if anyone decides to stop an American citizen and challenge his or her Second Amendment right, then let’s discuss the violation of federalism by the SCOTUS mandating same-sex marriage. As a matter of fact, we expect the ATF to start issuing NATIONAL CCL cards to all of us who are current holders of valid CCLs — heck, we know the DHS is planning on printing ID cards for illegal immigrants!

Therefore, celebrate your 4th of July knowing that the SCOTUS just solidified our right to keep and bear arms — and that no state has the “right” to infringe upon our Second Amendment right. If the violation of federalism works ok for LGBTs — then it works well for gun owners!

Note: This is a VERY interesting analysis! Since states issue all kinds of licenses and permits, e.g., a license to practice law or medicine, or whatever, will this now mean every state must now recognize every license from all other states, without the person having to sit for a licensing exam in those other states? After all, the ability to earn a living in one’s chosen field is a “personal choice central to their individual dignity and autonomy” as the liberal Supreme Court faction has just decided, and made the law of the land, correct? The answer is YES!

Things happen sometimes that are not under our control, we are all susceptible to being blindsided from time to time. If someone pulls a 209A restraining order against you for instance while they are having an alcohol induced fit etc.., and suddenly the police are there taking your firearms/ammo away, here is something for you to consider.

At the time of confiscation, by law, the police are supposed to do two things:

Rated #1 at AMAZON in the Shooting section!! Check out GUN SENSE now.

Whose Guns need to be controlled?

There’s no doubt America needs to curb gun use and possession, the question is whose guns? There are 34,500 members on the NYPD, and in 2012 they fatally shot 16 people. That gives Bloomberg’s former army a rate of 46 shooting deaths per 100,000, killing people at a clip that dwarfs any civilian level in the country…..

To put it into perspective, Chicago, an American city known for gun violence, hit its peak murder rate of 34 per 100,000 in 1992. American law enforcement is increasingly militarized, why? Radley Balko reports in his book ‘Rise of the Warrior Cop’: “Driven by martial rhetoric and the availability of military style equipment, from bayonets and M-16 rifles, to armored personnel carriers, American police forces have often adopted a mindset previously reserved for the battlefield”. So while gun violence has markedly declined, why the police military buildup? What do they think they are preparing to do?

While Bloomberg is squaring up to spread irrational fears about armed Mormon cattle ranchers and NRA members gone wild, we should be more worried about guns in the hands of the police. One ‘unidentified’, (to protect the guilty) Connecticut police officer recently stated that he can hardly wait until he gets the order to kick in doors to confiscate firearms……I guess he just needs the go ahead from oath breaking politicians to gleefully become a state sanctioned thief….

For Bloomberg to further his agenda he is counting/playing on the majority of the public’s ignorance about guns to push his disarmament agenda/scheme for CONTROL, a time honored tactic of any tyrant worth his weight in lies…..

The biggest most irresponsible gun owner in the country isn’t some redneck or a deranged teen plotting a massacre from his basement; it is the STATE in my opinion. There is a lot of history to back that opinion up. Governments have been responsible for wholesale genocide throughout history…..but first the People had to be disarmed….!

Laws of any sort can not prevent bad human behaviors. The term ‘Crime Prevention’ means nothing to any educated person in the gun control debate.

Can violence be ‘prevented’ by any law? If laws did ‘prevent’ bad things from happening there would be no violent crimes, or crime at all. Is that the case? Anywhere in the world, NO. Example, prisons are the most controlled places on earth, and there is plenty of crime/violence/murder going on inside those locked little societies. How then can laws/wishful thinking prevent violence in an open free society? It can’t.

We need laws of course, I am not saying that we don’t. They are in place to prosecute the people that are caught after they commit the crimes that are against these laws, that’s all, if they get caught at all. The police are the clean up crew, after the gruesome crime/fact.  Mainly they are revenue collectors with quota’s to fill for the state coffers from people they know are working for a living, speeding tickets and such.  Tougher to get money from criminals….they can’t.

Can any law keep guns out of the hands of criminals? Of course not. The ‘gun ban’ crowd knows this, they claim their cause is to stop crimes with guns, they hope the majority of the public can not see through that lie. Their aim is disarmament of law abiding citizens, plain and simple. Why? CONTROL, hard to CONTROL the masses if they are ‘allowed’ to have firearms…….

So remember this, any candidate(s) that are spouting ‘gun control’ are liars bent on control of YOU. Any gun owner who would vote for any candidate(s) that are spouting ‘gun control’ would be the equivalent of a turkey voting in favor of Thanksgiving!

If I were the Devil;

I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;

I would deceive their minds into thinking that they had come from man’s effort, instead of God’s blessings and Grace;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for much of their state revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership roles;

I would make it legal and acceptable to murder unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one’s own life, and invent the machines to make it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;

I would take God and certainly the mention of Jesus Christ Our Lord out of schools and the public square. But I would keep the study of Indian spirits, Hindu god’s and other false idol worshiping religions in the school, to be studied and admired by students and teachers. And I would make it to even the mention of Jesus’ name in school would be grounds for a lawsuit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind, legal or not, and target the young, and I would get sports ‘heros’ to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so that everyday I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agendas;

I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation;

I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so does the nation;

I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and would call it art;

I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled;

I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically correct;

I would persuade people that church is irrelevant and out of date, and that the Bible is made up and for the naïve;

I would convince the WORLD that there are many god’s and that what they believe is fine as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else;

I would convince the WORLD that no one knows the real Truth about God. This would convince the people to believe “their own created and mixed philosophy of beliefs” and never search their heart and soul for the True source of Truth from the Lord God.

I would convince the WORLD that there are many ways, (loopholes) into Heaven. The Bible says in John 14:6, when Jesus says, “I am the Way the Truth and the Life: No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” and Acts 4:12, Jesus is our Only Salvation. {Our only way to Heaven is by our faith that Jesus Christ is the Lord}  I would CONVINCE people that this is narrow minded, and while being upset at this Truth, I will make them despise Christians, mock and whisper about them. Ill have them point out every time a Christian does something wrong, and they will be disgusted that they had the nerve to tell them about Jesus and His Word, when they are doing wrong just the same.

I would convince many in the WORLD that I, (the Devil) don’t even Exist. And that Heaven and Hell don’t exist and that they were just made up to scare the WORLD into doing good.

I would convince the WORLD in their own minds that if they were to die today, they along with 99% of everyone else, would go to Heaven….ha ha ha ha. Well unless you’ve done something REAL bad, of course, …ha ha ha! God said we are all born into sin and all need to come to Jesus, repent and turn away from our sins. Romans 3:23 (ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory of God) / 2nd Corinth- ians 5:14 (we all deserve to go to Hell, but (I) died for all our sins and rose from death. That we may have life eternal through Him that saved us, but are dead in our sins w/out Jesus)

Luke 13:5 (unless ye repent, you will perish). But I will make them think in their minds, that they themselves are not sinners and they will get offended at the very mention or thought of this idea.

I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that reading God’s Word daily is not important, and that faithfulness, prayer and obedience to doing God’s Word are optional;

I do all this deception as a test with God’s permission, God could wipe me out of the picture forever with one word, but instead keeps me around to test your Faith, I love my job and if I don’t say so myself, I am very good at stealing souls from Heaven. So I think all I would do, I have done, and will continue to do.

If I were The Devil….

As the members of the Kansas House of Representative’s stood and bowed in prayer at the opening of a recent session, many were shocked and offended by what they heard, a heartfelt prayer of corporate confession, forgiveness and guidance.

One representative walked out in a huff, another sat down in protest. The Wichita Eagle reported: “And the House came alive with the flutter of agitation that comes from offense and its often loud response.”

One representative sniveled: “I have never heard in ten years, as divisive, sanctimonious, self serving, overbearing prayer as I have heard this morning!”

Rev. Joe Wright who offered the prayer said, “Prayer is prayer. I’m praying to God when I’m praying. I’m not up to put on a show. I’m there to pray. I don’t do it any differently in public than in private…”

Now the full text of Rev. Wrights prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before you today to ask your forgiveness and seek your direction and guidance. We know your Word says, “Woe to those who call good evil,” but that’s exactly what we’ve done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.

We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of your Word and called it moral pluralism.

We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

We have endorsed perversion and called it alternate lifestyle.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have neglected the needy and called it self preservation.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have murdered our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building esteem.

We have abused political power and called it political savvy.  (loud gasp from audience)

We have coveted our neighbors’ possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the airwaves with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, O God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the People of Kansas, and who have been ordained by you to govern this great state. Grant them your wisdom to rule, and may decisions direct us to the center of your will.

I ask it in the name of your living son, the Living Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.

NOTE: There must have been an overflow of guilty consciousness’ in the assembly that day for such a negative display by people who have obviously taken ‘self serving’ to extremes. But in all honesty I suppose that any legislature in any state and in Washington DC especially would have reacted in exactly the same way in this time of greed and ‘revisionist’ history writers……

As transcribed from a radio broadcast:

For the life of me, I can’t understand what could have gone wrong in Littleton Colo. If only the parents had kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn’t have had such a tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the guns….

1. It couldn’t have been because half of our children are being raised in broken homes.

2. It couldn’t have been because our children get to spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day. After all, we give our children ‘quality’ time.

3. It couldn’t have been because we treat our children as pets and our pets as children.

4. It couldn’t have been because we place our children in day care centers where they learn their socialization skills among their peers, under the law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest in our children look on only to make sure no blood is spilled.

5. It couldn’t have been because we allow our children to watch, on average, seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification of sex and violence that isn’t fit for adult consumption.

6. It couldn’t have been because we allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win games one must kill as many opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible.

7. It couldn’t have been because we have sterilized and reduced our families down to sizes so small that our children are so spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of the material  with love.

8. It couldn’t have been because our children, who historically have been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as a mistake created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents try to raise in their spare time.

9. It couldn’t have been because our nation is the world leader in developing a ‘culture of death’ in which more than 20 million babies have been murdered ‘legally’ by abortion.

10. It couldn’t have been because we give two year prison sentences to teenagers who kill their newborns.

11. It couldn’t have been because our school systems teach the children as hard fact, that they are nothing more than glorified apes who have evolved out of some primordial soup of mud, and hand out condoms and pamphlet’s about ‘alternate life styles’ to our children as if they were candy, pushing promiscuity.

12.  It couldn’t have been because we teach our children that there are no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and that bad actions even in the highest places have no consequences. What the heck, Congress and presidents get  away with it!

Nah, it must have been the guns…..

Do you vote? Do you give a damn about America? If you vote you do. Please take note of the way We can take BACK America! Lets get this change before the 2016 elections!

If you are sick of choosing the lesser of two evils every for years, please go to the website below to see what is being done about ending the stranglehold Democrat and Republican elites have over America . A presidential debate rule is written by a group of Democrats and Republicans to ensure no third party will ever have any chance to be involved in a presidential debate within the last six weeks of an election. And YOU thought We the People held the reins of government! Change the rule and end the monopoly of power by those only interested in CONTROL!
