The Republican Candidates records on gun rights

Are you wondering how the Republican candidates fair up on the issue of gun rights? According to GOA, the most aggressive of all Second Amendment organizations (ie: Gun Owners of America) -- not too good. Mitt Romney has a D- rating. He embraced the so-called Assault Weapons Ban back in 1994, supported the Brady Bill, and was quoted on his favoring "tough gun laws" by saying: "I believe they protect us and provide for our safety". So -- if it's between Obama and Romney -- you're gonna have a really tough choice if guns are your primary issue -- because if it were not for Obama's all out backing of the UN Arms Trade Treaty --he'd likely be the better choice for gun owners. In fact, if Romney ever has to give in on something to gain political leverage -- gun owners beware! He has zero allegiance to our beliefs! Newt is somewhat better. While he did support the Brady Bill (which -- admittedly had some good points) -- in his favor -- he was strongly against the Assault Weapons Ban, and was vocal on that. However, as Speaker of the House he voted for the absurd "Gun Free School Zones Act", and the law that forever prohibited firearms ownership for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence -- no matter how slight the alleged domestic violence was. Both horrible pieces of legislation -- and substantially anti-Second Amendment. Because of his record -- GOA has rated him a "C". Better than Romney, but no firearms patriot, by any means. As to the rest of the Republican presidential crew -- pretty darn good! Of course -- they're out of the race -- but Bachman, Rick Perry, and Ron Paul all got an "A" rating or better, and Rick Santorum got a B-. So -- if guns are your thing -- you'd better make damn sure you vote Republican for the senate. That's where your pro-firearms votes will really count.

One of my favorite lines from the old "Firefly series", get the DVD's and watch them in order, good stuff.

This is the real Political Spectrum

A traditional view of the political spectrum as discussed in the mainstream and indoctrinated by pedagogues into the minds of millions of unsuspecting children, teens and college graduates :

A true view of the political spectrum as it has existed throughout history:

The idea that most Americans, and citizens of the world for that matter, are leftists really comes down to one’s point of reference. The concept is completely lost on those beholden to the “Traditional” political spectrum view who have never been exposed to or had the opportunity to contemplate other possibilities. It begins to make much more sense when considered with respect to the “True” view.

From:Glenn Beck

As Edmund Burke said, “all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” We must DO something. Stand watch. Speak up. Become involved.

Thus, we the people do hereby declare not only our rights, but do now establish this bill of responsibilities.

1. Because I have the right to choose, I recognize that I am accountable to God and have the responsibility to keep the 10 commandments in my own life.

2. Because I have the right to worship as I choose, I have the responsibility to honor the right of others to worship as they see fit.

3. Because I have freedom of speech, I have the responsibility to defend the speech of others, even if I strongly disagree with what they’re saying.

4. Because I have the right to pursue happiness, I have the responsibility to show humility and express gratitude for all the blessings I enjoy and the rights I’ve been given.

5. Because I have the right to honest and good government I will seek out honest and just representatives when possible. If I cannot find one then I accept the responsibility to take that place.

6. Because I have the God given right to liberty, I have the personal responsibility to have the courage to defend others to be secure in their persons, lives and property.

7. Because I have the right to equal justice, I will stand for those who are wrongly accused or unjustly blamed.

8. Because I have the right to knowledge, I will be accountable for myself and my children’s education…to live our lives in such a way that insures the continuation of truth.

9. Because I have the right to pursue my dreams and keep the fruits of my labor, I have the responsibility to feed, protect and shelter my family, the less fortunate, the fatherless, the old and infirm.

10. Because I have a right to the truth, I will not bear false witness nor will I stand idly by as others do.

Unconditionally, while maintaining my responsibility to compassionately yet fiercely stand against those things that decay the natural rights of all men. And for the support of this declaration, and with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

DANIEL WEBSTER

"It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

Acquire lawful means of self-defense.

Acquire lawful means of self-defense. Your odds of being victimized are roughly 1 in 100 annually under normal conditions. What happens when its 1 in 5? Think it won't be? Ok, if doesn't really get bad then you spent money on something you don't need, but you still have it and can sell it (even if you take somewhat of a loss.) If you wait, and then decide you need it, what are the odds of being able to find a firearm? And by the way, weapons you don't know how to use in a competent and cool fashion if you need to are worthless or worse. This means range time and/or professional instruction, and both take time, effort and money.
