Pushing Gun Control

The headline reads, Obama Pushing UN Gun Control on US. You can read that us, or United States, for both are correct.  It's not new news...it's all over the place that our President, Secretary of State Clinton, and the hierarchy of the administration are pushing us to accept the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, which is a deceptive way putting on us international gun control restrictions.  In fact, Hillary has already signed the Treaty.

It has to pass through the Democrat controlled Senate next.  This Treaty, as you would suspect, would do away with our Second Amendment to the Constitution.  45 Republican Senators and 12 Democrat Senators have sent a letter to Obama and are poised to stand against this Treaty and Obama's gun control program.

I ran into several articles today while surfing the internet.  I liked how the author fit in the history of our Founding Fathers and the quotes of the Writers of our Constitution.  I like the clarity of the articles, making it easy to understand the impending peril our nation will incur if this Treaty is signed. You may like the articles as well.

Is this real?

While checking out other gun blogs and facebook pages, we came across this headline: 

Virginia Police Seek Serial Butt Slasher

Obviously, it peaked some interest.  So we clicked on it and read on: "Fairfax County (Va.) Police believe a man captured on video surveillance footage may be responsible for cutting the buttocks of five women in retail stores while they are shopping."  (read more ...)

Clearly, the ridiculous nature of this man's cruel habit generated conversation in the office.  The only response to this ludicrous story we could come up with: if more women where carrying guns under their shirts, fewer butts would be slashed.  (see yesterday's post for reference)

It's so absurd, it's almost funny.  But in reality, it's disgusting.  There are too many people out there who set out to rape, kill, or bring some other form of harm to women and children ... and to law-abiding peaceful citizens.  If this guy gets caught, he will probably be let off due to some sort of doctor-invented mental disorder.  Unfortunately, it's the world we live in.

It's sad.  Frankly, it's pathetic.  And it's absolutely necessary, that good people stand up and join the fight to save their rights.    

An Armed Citizen Fights Back ... and WINS!

These are the kind of stories we need to hear more of ... the kind where the good guy (girl in this case) wins because they were lawfully carrying a firearm, knew how to use it, and protected themselves.

Sheriff: Dead motel robber was going to rape clerk

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A man is dead after the motel clerk he tried to sexually assault and rob early Monday morning fought back and killed him, deputies said.

As the female clerk went into the breakfast room to prepare breakfast, she found Carson waiting inside. The victim said Carson held a knife to her throat and said "this is a robbery."Investigators say 43-year-old Vincent Carson of Orangeburg entered Days Inn motel at 133 Plumbers Rd. near I-20 and North Main St. sometime before 6:00 a.m.

Investigators said when her attacker slipped the knife into his pants pocket to begin tying her up with plastic ties, the woman pulled a handgun from under her shirt, turned and fired into the man's chest at point blank range.

The victim was about 100 pounds lighter than Carson and stood at least a foot shorter than him, investigators said.   

When deputies got to the scene just after 6:00 a.m., they found the suspect unresponsive on the floor. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said Carson died from a single gunshot to the chest.   

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said Carson's intent was not only to rob the motel, but also to rape the clerk. "There's no doubt that was his intent," said Lott. "Not only was he going to rob her, but he was going to sexually assault her. Now what was he going to do after that assault was over with, we don't know."

The clerk was not injured, but was taken to Palmetto Baptist Hospital as a precaution.

The suspect was wanted in at least one other motel robbery in the Midlands. The Orangeburg County Sheriff's Department was looking for Carson in connection with a July 14 robbery at the Hampton Inn on US Highway 601.

Gun news in the news.....

There is a lot of “gun news” in the news of late, have you noticed?

Last week I wrote about the Baltimore Mayoral Candidate that was calling for a $1.00 tax on each bullet purchased in his town….what a mindset…today I was reading some of the comments from the citizenry about his proposal.  Needless to say the citizens are pert near dumbfounded at the suggestion they see as dumb, no matter which way you look at it.

Canada is in the news again…there is promise to scrap their long-gun registry this fall.  The quote that interests me on one level is this, as written in the Canadian National Post , “There was no convincing explanation as to how a database of serial numbers and street addresses was supposed to improve public safety.”  Haven’t we been saying the same common sense thing for years, ourselves? Tell that to the California Democrat Mike Feuer!  MP Candice Hoeppner, the author of the quote, has been driving this recall of the Canadian registry for years now and had some other truthful observations to comment about as well, saying, “the registry proved to be expensive and error prone, it drove a wedge between police and lawful firearms owners,” and then this gem of a quote, “criminals who kill people with guns generally are using illegal handguns smuggled in from the …get this…the UNITED STATES.” 

So, on another level I am most interested in this bullet she just shot at us!  Handguns smuggled in from the United States?  Lets see what our ATF has to say about that?  Is MP Candice Hoeppner being a clandestine whistleblower?  Do we need to start another investigation…Is there another Darrell Issa in the house?  

So, the third hearing of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosive’s is coming up shortly, tomorrow, at 10 in the morning.  The focus is going to be the accounts of the ATF agents based in Mexico.  The Agents being questioned are prominent enough to suggest this will be a blockbuster event, according to a Seattle paper.  There is no question that this is a blockbuster event!

Human Events has written in much stronger language, that “all H_ _ _ _is about to explode" because it is Obama’s Justice Department that started this scandal.  The Obama government funded the $80 million dollar program.  Melson, the head of the ATF was expected to resign and run, tail between legs style, but he isn’t, choosing rather to whistleblow himself, and in that it is coming to light that there are documents withheld from Congress in a massive cover-up.  Attorney General Eric Holder is on the hot seat as a result, and just may be the next one who is expected to resign, tail between the legs style.  Wonder if he, too, will turn into a whistleblower……?

GOC Drops New Quarterly...

Newsletter, that is...
GOC's popular newsletter is hot of the press, as they say, meaning that it was mailed out to our members just this week!
Those on the list will enjoy reading Our Roadmap to Victory in 2012 written by Executive Director Sam Paredes, as he lays out his observations of the progress being made by the Redistricting Commission.  Sam's view is optimistic that the Commission's re-drawing of the lines will end up giving to the people of the state a better voting opportunity.  Meaning, that each district will not be predictable and safe for current candidates, but will give residents a true opportunity to make their vote count and mean something.

The Legislative Update is literally a Call to Action for GOC's members, as the status of each bill we are working on is listed, along with the location of the bill, so that members can contact their legislators and make their views known.  There are 6 anti-gun bills that need to go down before the end of session, and our dedicated members can help.  Our Website contains Alerts on these six measures and can easily be looked up for access to contact names and numbers.  Click Here

If you are not a member of GOC you won't be getting a newsletter in the mail.  However, our statewide Newsletter Distribution Team brings newsletters to gun shops, gun clubs and ranges, and gives them out at gun shows, so you may find yourself in possession of one in spite of yourself.  If so, use the membership form on the back, fill it out and send it in, and then you will be privileged to receive your next California Gun Owners Newsletter in the mail, just hot off of the press!
