“TURN IN YOUR WEAPONS”

118 Comments

The Constitutional Court of South Africa recently ruled that 300,000 gun owners must turn in their firearms.

This judgement came in response to the North Gauteng High Court’s ruling in 2017 which said Section 24 and Section 28 of the Firearm’s Control Act were unconstitutional.

A report from The Citizen explains what Section 24 and Section 28 entail:

“Section 24 of the Act requires that any person who seeks to renew a licence must do so 90 days before its expiry date Section 28 stipulates that if a firearm licence has been cancelled‚ the firearm must be disposed of or forfeited to the state. A 60-day time frame was placed on its disposal, which was to be done through a dealer.”

Now that the High Court’s initial ruling has been overturned, gun owners who failed to renew their firearms licenses must hand in their firearms to the nearest police station, where authorities will then proceed to destroy them.

Many naïve political observers will paint this event as a casual gun control scheme, but any astute student of politics will recognize that the floodgates are now open for further encroachments – not only on the gun rights of South Africans, but also on others facets of theirs lives.

A look at South Africa’s current political climate will give us an idea of the potential ramifications of this gun control scheme.

POLITICAL TROUBLE BREWING IN SOUTH AFRICA?

Though South Africa witnessed rising levels of economic freedom shortly after Apartheid ended in 1994, the country has taken a more interventionist path to economic development in recent years.

This situation is becoming more pronounced with the South African National Assembly recently voting 241-83 to amend the South African constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation.

The socialist-leaning African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) parties are leading the charge for expropriation under the banner of fixing racial disparities that have supposedly remained intact since Apartheid’s conclusion.

While land confiscation has not been officially finalized, South Africans should worry about the direction their country is going.

And how does gun control fit into this equation?

GUN CONTROL: A TOOL FOR TYRANNY

No matter how socialist apologists rationalize it, the redistributionist agenda the South African government is pursuing will not be implemented passively. Ultimately, it must be carried out by force.

The kind of force socialists seek is a monopolized kind, which extreme forms of gun control like gun confiscation help facilitate.

The history of gun confiscation is one of repeated cases of tyranny.

From countries such as Cuba to the Soviet Union, aspiring demagogues have used gun confiscation to disarm the populace. Logically, an unarmed populace will put up little resistance against their tyrannical acts.

In South Africa’s case, farmers and their workers are already suffering ongoing attacks against their property. One could only imagine what it would be like for these persecuted farmers once they are stripped of their right to self-defense.

For many Americans who have enjoyed historically unprecedented gun rights, South Africa’s gun control experience may seem distant and strange.

But make no mistake about it, South Africa’s latest flirtation with gun control is not based on good intentions, especially when considering the political climate the country is enduring.

South Africa should serve as a fair warning to Americans of the dangerous consequences gun control poses.

Trump To Cheering NRA Crowd: ‘Come And Take It’ (VIDEO)

The Battle of Gonzales was the first military engagement of the Texas Revolution. It was fought near Gonzales, Texas, on October 2, 1835, between rebellious Texian settlers and a detachment of Mexican army soldiers .

In 1831, Mexican authorities gave the settlers of Gonzales a small cannon to help protect them from frequent Comanche raids. Over the next four years, the political situation in Mexico deteriorated, and in 1835 several states revolted. As the unrest spread, Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea, the commander of all Mexican troops in Texas, felt it unwise to leave the residents of Gonzales with a weapon and requested the return of the cannon.

When the initial request was refused, Ugartechea sent 100 dragoons to retrieve the cannon. The soldiers neared Gonzales on September 29, but the colonists used a variety of excuses to keep them from the town, while secretly sending messengers to request assistance from nearby communities. Within two days, up to 140 Texians gathered in Gonzales, all determined not to give up the cannon. On October 1, settlers voted to initiate a fight. Mexican soldiers opened fire as Texians approached their camp in the early hours of October 2. After several hours of desultory firing, the Mexican soldiers withdrew

CIVIL WAR RISING

Bring it on, we smash heads too. If that’s what they want, we will give them CIVIL WAR.  Republican governors in thirty five states are at the ready to call out the National Guard, local police departments are turned in as well. When violence erupts we will be top gun; this will not be an Orange Revolution, but a revolution of guns, not roses.

Soon we will own the Supreme Court. Decisions affecting 300 million people will be handed down; decades of precedent will be reversed. This will ignite the volatile venom permeating the liberal killa mindset. First off is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. One more Supreme Court Justice will bring us back to the time where laws mattered, where trespassers were not citizens of the United States, neither were their progeny and they were thrown in the clink or booted out of the country. Secondly, we will have an adjudication of the 2nd Amendment once and for all.

Democrat incitement is growing at warp speed, but in Washington  the provocation by Mueller is non-stop. This is the case where no crime has been committed. A team of perverted progressive liberal lawyers hired by Mueller is searching for a crime to justify their existence. The special prosecutor is the crime. Comey, Hillary, Bill, Susan, John, Debbie are the criminals. The Deep State will not accept a TRUMP VICTORY. They will do everything in their power to impeded, stifle, challenge, target and destroy him. To them he is not legitimate.

America has been infiltrated by the earth’s scum; Latin American gangs, Hispanic/Latino killers, rapists, drug smugglers. Illegals bring a culture of violence across the land.  Taking advantage of our welfare system, free emergency room treatment, food stamps, hospitals, Social Security disability, education paid for by the taxpaying Patriot.

NUCLEAR GORSUCH HEADS TO THE SUPREME COURT

57 Comments

Once again the Democrats stepped up, or should we say stepped down, falling on their own knife; creating a bloody mess. Joe Biden and Harry Reid, two also rans showcased their stupidity, duplicity and hypocrisy. For Reid and the current  Senate Majority Leader Schumer they proved that reconciliation, compromise and cooperation was never and will never be part of their modus operandi.

Schumer, limited to second fiddle, had that awful smirk wiped off his face by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who trumped him by employing the nuclear option, File:Greenhouse George Early Fireball.ogv

which by the way was conceived by Harry Reid’s, call it Reid’s “little boy”. Thanks Harry for dropping the bomb. You started the nuclear war.   Oh we have a question. What was it that hit you in the head on the way out? Was it the door or a machine. Anyway good riddance to you and Godspeed ahead.

On April 17 Gorsuch will be sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice. Bringing back the court to a semi-conservative bent is of prime importance. In lieu of the many decisions that wait to be adjudicated due to the death of our revered Scalia, we have no doubt in our minds that Gorsuch will bring common sense and a constitutional prospective to the bench.  The election of Trump was more important than any other policy decision he made. Choosing a Supreme Court nominee will set the stage for later victories. We have lost time to make up. 

The devastating defeats by McCain and Romney set the United States back by a half century. Remember two of Obama’s choices, Sotomayor and Kagan – paired with Bader Ginsberg who for all intents and purposes had one thing on their mind, RUBBER STAMPING THE LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE AGENDA. The triumvirate wasn’t for justice, they were anti Constitutionalists. But looking ahead and anticipating the retiring of Kennedy and maybe Ginsberg we have a bright future. To many of the initiated it is obvious that Ginsberg has lost her marbles and in the not too distant future will enter the world of oblivion joining the rest of the judicial psychos in the asylum.

For us Patriots, he number one item on the agenda is the breath of the 2nd amendment. The question here,  does it allow citizens to carry a gun outside their home? Being a Constitutional scholar we believe Gorsuch will be a straight shooter, hitting the target with a bull’s eye. 

“REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION”

Trump had it right, but did not spell out the particulars. Here they are straight from the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by theirCreator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Trump said this:

The candidate made the comments after telling voters in Wilmington, N.C., that his Democratic rival wants to “abolish” the Second Amendment.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he said.

Trump then added, “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”

What Trump said was perfectly logical because it is based on the Declaration of Independence which said that it is the, “ Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” We know for sure that a Hillary presidency will be devastating to most Americans and feel that they have the right to alter or abolish it. This is written in stone. Trump was not fast enough on the trigger to contest the charge brought by the liberals, who of course skewed the remarks to mean Trump advocated violence toward Hillary. flag1776

Donald Trump rejected claims he was advocating violence against Hillary Clinton when he suggested at a rally Tuesday there might be something “Second Amendment people” can do to stop her from picking judges, telling Fox News he was only talking about their “political” power – and saying of the media coverage: “Give me a break.”

Hillary Admits Support for Legislation to Kill Gun Industry

By Dave Dolbee published on in News

There is no chance of burying the lead in this story. Hillary Clinton has vowed to support legislation to kill the gun industry.

I am not here to advocate for one political party over another or one particular politician for President. The Shooter’s Log is about firearms, survival/prepping, hunting, etc. However, if you believe in the Second Amendment, hunting, and firearms, you really need to step up and pay attention to Hillary Clinton’s latest proclamation against your rights.

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton is owing legislation to kill the gun industry.

Hillary is the Democratic frontrunner and in all likelihood going to be the Democratic Nominee. Recently, on her website, she proudly stated, “Hillary will lead the charge to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.” The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is the law that protects manufacturers and retailers from being sued when a product is used in a criminal act. Hillary’s statement leaves absolutely no doubt that her agenda is to give those who would seek to take away your Second Amendment rights, as you know them, everything they need. The number of suits, and costs to fight each suit would quickly bankrupt the manufacturers and retailers.

Of course, this is not much of a surprise—just a window in into one of the ways she plans to eliminate your right to bear arms. On the campaign trail, Hillary has repeatedly brought up the subject bragging about being more anti-gun than Sanders (Example 1 and Example 2 of many). Likewise, Sanders has claimed he believes the families of crime victims should be allowed to sue gunmakers).

While she is open (to a point) about wanting to shut down the firearms industry, she is “less than honest” about the issue in general. On her campaign website, Clinton claims the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is, “a dangerous law that prevents victims of gun violence from holding negligent manufacturers and dealers accountable for violence perpetrated with their guns.” Moreover, in campaign appearances, Clinton claims the firearms industry is “the only industry in America, the only one, that has this kind of special protection.”

What?

You could say Hillary is a liar, but she isn’t stupid. When Hillary goes out on the stump or publishes on her website, claiming the law doesn’t protect “negligent manufacturers and dealers,” or her claim that the firearms industry is “wholly protected from any kind of liability,” These are absolute falsehoods—some would say outright lies meant to mislead the lower information voter.

A dealer who sells a gun to someone he or she knows is a prohibited person—or even suspects that the person will use it to commit a crime—is not only still negligent and thus not protected from lawsuits, but is also subject to felony prosecution under federal law. The passage of PLCAA didn’t negate or limit any liability in these types of scenarios. It was merely akin to saying you cannot sue Ford because someone drove drunk in a car it manufactured and then killed someone. The misuse of the product is not the fault of the manufacturer or the retailer, nor is it a flawed design that would result in liability.

TEXAS ARMING UP

1 Comment

Breitbart's Profile PhotoAP Photo

A “140 percent” increase in concealed handgun license applications puts Texas on the verge of surpassing a total of one million license holders in the state.

Those are one million people who can carry a handgun concealed or, if they choose, carry it openly under the Open Carry law Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed into law last year.

According to CBS-DFW, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) “received 136,000 License to Carry applications” from December 2015 through February 2016. That “140 percent jump in applications” when compared to the “57,000 [applications submitted] over that period last year.”

Central Texas Gun Works owner Michael Cargill believes the surge in applications is due to an overall sense of unrest in the nation right now. He credited that unrest to “fears of terrorism brought on by the shootings in San Bernardino” combined with the continued concern that President Obama is still pushing gun control.

The DPS has been forced to increase staff dedicated to concealed handgun licensing in order to keep up with the growing demand.

LORETTA LYNCH CONFIRMED WITH TEN REPUBLICAN VOTES

The Senate voted 56-43 this afternoon to confirm Loretta Lynch as Attorney General. Ten Republicans voted for confirmation: Kelly Ayotte, Ron Johnson, Mark Kirk, Rob Portman, Thad Cochran, Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell.

No doubt other Republicans put out statements explaining their opposition to Lynch, but I got these from Jeff Sessions and Marco Rubio, and thought they were both worth passing on. Senator Sessions’ statement:

Under our Constitution, Congress was given certain powers as a coequal branch of government not only to protect the Congress as an institution, but to restrain the other branches from overreaching. One of those powers is the Senate’s power to confirm or not confirm nominees to high office.

This check on executive powers can be used as Congress sees fit but should not be abused, just as the President should not use his nominees to advance an improper or unlawful agenda.

President Obama said on Friday he’ll meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch next week to discuss how to use White House powers to reduce gun violence, lamenting that Congress has “done nothing” and declaring he has “unfinished business.”

“I get too many letters from parents and teachers and kids to sit around and do nothing,” said Obama, who will meet with Lynch on Monday, after he returns from his Hawaii family vacation.

Click here to listen to the putrid diatribe coming from Obama’s mouth. Truth is that Obama and his brothers in Chicago and elsewhere kill 10,000 Blacks a year and not a peep out of the criminal element the Black community has birthed, but one white is killed by a deranged liberal freak (Sandy Hook) and our guns are at risk of being confiscated by the government.

Police: Concealed carry license holder kills armed gunman

CHICAGO –  An armed man attempting to rob a neighborhood store was shot and killed by a customer who had a concealed carry license, Chicago police said Sunday.

A masked man, later identified as 55-year-old Reginald Gildersleeve, walked into the store and currency exchange about 7 p.m. Saturday on the city’s southwest side, displayed a handgun and announced a robbery to an employee, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The gunman next pointed his weapon at another employee and forced her to the back of the store.

The armed customer then fatally shot the man multiple times, according to theChicago Sun-Times. Gildersleeve was pronounced dead on the scene at 7:10 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He had an extensive criminal history, including prior arrests for robbery, the Sun-Times reported. Gildersleeve was set to have an autopsy performed on Sunday, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“We’re looking at it as a self-defense issue at this point”

– Anthony Guglielmi, police spokesman

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the customer, who has not been identified, will face charges. Guglielmi said the case is under review by local prosecutors, but the preliminary details suggest that the customer was not at fault.

“We’re looking at it as a self-defense issue at this point,” he said.

Last month, a Michigan woman with a concealed carry license shot at shoplifters fleeing a Detroit-area Home Depot store, flattening a tire of their SUV. No one was hurt, and the suspected shoplifters were arrested several days later. The woman faces up to 90 days in jail after pleading no contest to a charge of reckless discharge of a firearm. Two other shootings in which citizens fired at lawbreakers or potential lawbreakers also happened in September in Michigan.

“It’s a slippery slope” when it comes to the question of whether citizens who are licensed to carry guns should intervene in dangerous situations, if at all, Guglielmi said.

“You have situations like this,” he said, referring to the foiled Chicago robbery in which no one else was hurt. “And you have situations that end tragically. The department is not going to advocate for what people should or shouldn’t do.”

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, “TEA PARTY ARE TERRORISTS – TALIBAN ARE NOT”

According to the latest DHS report, “the new ‘terrorists’ in this country are the Americans who love liberty, hate unconstitutional government edicts and fear the bureaucrats running Washington, D.C.,” writes Pat Shannan. “Second Amendment advocates are at the top of this ‘terrorist’ list, but a mere ‘pro-life’ bumper sticker might be enough to make one suspect in the eyes of a dumbed-down cop who forgot his oath.”

  • THE TALIBAN have claimed responsibility for killing three US contractors one day after a White House spokesman called them an ‘armed insurgency’, despite their presence on an official terror list since 2002. Click here for the White House double speak B.S. Any American will wonder why Obama is still in office. Most of all he is America’s number one terrorist; solely responsible for the diminution of the United States during his tenure. Arrest and imprisonment are the only justice to be leveled out.

  • We remind Americans of past terrorists such as John Hancock, Sam Adams and John Adams, not to mention the iconic ride of Paul Revere. It it were not for those terrorists the United States of America would not be here today. To put it bluntly we rather stand in the shoes of past terrorists than the scum running our government today. If they can call us terrorists we call them Criminals and they can be found in Washington D.C. walking the halls of Congress.
