Democratic Senator Boswell’s Grandson Uses Shotgun to Defend Home

Just fell upon this great blog/post:  Short Little Rebel 


Democratic Senator Boswell’s Grandson Uses Shotgun to Defend Home

Imagine that.  A democrat with a shot gun in their house!  On the heels of the Justice Department illegally restricting gun ownership in five southern states.  With Obama preparing an illegal executive order that would further restrict gun ownership by law-abiding American citizens.    The irony is not lost on this writer.

Had Senator Boswell not had the shotgun, it is very probable that he, his daughter and his grandson would be dead today because the home invader was armed (betcha it was an illegal gun).  A decorated war hero, with skills he no doubt learned in his 20 years in the Army, Senator Boswell instantly attacked the robber who had assaulted his daughter.   He, a man well advanced in years, grappled with the much younger armed man.  His 22 year old grandson quickly ran to another room and grabbed the shot gun.

Call to Action.....

There is a new ALERT on our homepage and we hope that you heed it in the same way as one heeds a call to arms.
In our day we pick up the telephone or the pen and we call or fax letters and messages to our elected representatives in the state, thus communicating to them the desires of the people of their districts or the will of the people across the state, for the people know that every legislator's action (vote) if you will, impacts them.  And greatly I might add.

Calls and letters act as bullets often times.  Enough bullets and you can kill a bad bill dead!  That is what we need now...for there are 5 bad bills that need to be killed outright!  How many bullets do we need?  The number is too high to even know.  That is why the call goes out to everyone, today, and every day... there needs to be bullets of words going into legislative offices and into the record files.
You are being called to arms.  Arm yourself with a phone or a pen, and send those bullets daily to get your message across to those who claim to be doing what they do for your good.

Portantino in the line of Democrats fire...

Assemblyman Anthony Portantino comes under GOC's fire often as we oppose his Open Carry Ban bill, AB 144.  This time, the Assemblyman comes under the fire of his own political party.  Take a close look and you will see the explanation of why Democrats hold together so well and seldom seem to divert from the Party Line...the explanation being that when one does divert from the Party Line there are dire consequences to pay.

Assemblyman Portantino voted against the Budget Bill.  That wasn't the Party Line.  The consequences are accusations of "overspending" by Portantino,  and actions such as, cutting Portantino's staff, and reducing his office funding.

This internal Democrat Party ruckus has hit the news this morning.  The Sacramento Bee reported it and I mention this to you because it is most interesting.  I quote the Bee, "...Portantino had his attorney demand Assembly fiscal records...from leaders of his own Democratic Party.  There is a vast difference in the definitions of Democrat and Democratic and the Democrat Party is no democratic party at all.

Don't get me wrong, GOC doesn't care about this ruckus at all, nor do we side with or against Portantino, nor believe him one way or the other.  We mention this because we are interested in the actions of the Democrats, how they keep their members in line and how they punish them when the perception is that they have stepped over or around the party line.

De Leon supports federal ATF with newly introduced Senate Resolution

Keeping up with the fast paced investigation of the federal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) latest debacle  of providing guns to Mexican drug cartels?  If you are watching what is happening at all you know it has become very clear that our very own government, represented by the federal Department Of Justice's ATF has purposefully instigated and executed a plan to put weapons across the southern border into Mexico, and that these very weapons have been used against the U.S. and killed our own people.  Note that as the investigation goes on that Attorney General Eric Holder's name, as well as the President's comes up more and more often....
Also note that the very same are trying deflecting maneuvers, calling for tighter gun control measures across the U.S., as a diversion.
Falling into step with this strategy from the left, our very own anti-gun state Senator Kevin de Leon has introduced a Senate resolution (SJR 10) that calls for "reenactment of the federal assault weapons ban, adoption of the ATF's proposed rule to require reporting of all rifle sales/purchases, and for stronger federal authority to crack down on "corrupt" (my emphasis) gun dealers".....read that as "all" gun dealers.  We are remembering that these "gun dealers" were instructed, against their better judgement mind you, instructed by the ATF to sell to those who intended to take the guns across the border...and not just one gun at a time, but many at a time.  The dealers were told to look the other way and to hold their tongue about it, too!
Senator de Leon should have looked the other way and held his tongue, instead of jumping on the bandwagon of Democrats working to create a diversion, a snow job, maneuvering the scandal to their advantage.  The repercussions of this investigation will be huge and broad.  Blinded by the vision of greater anti-gun opportunities, de Leon may just come to realize he would have been better off remaining silent.  Even a fool is thought to be wise when  he remains silent.

Action Opportunity....Are you Ready?

AB 144 (Portantino - D) Open Carry Ban
This bad bill for California gun owning citizens has made its way through the legislative process, now residing in the Senate, expecting a floor vote at any time. As a refresher or reminder of what this bad bill will do, this measure would place a ban on carrying a hand gun in public in plain view, specifically when empty of any ammunition.  You already know that you can't carry a handgun loaded with ammunition openly when out in the public.  With AB 144 you can't carry it empty either!  What nonsense.  So, it is time to get active.  Make some calls to your State Senator and insist on a "no" vote.  http://senate.ca.gov/senators will get you to the list of Senators and to their phone numbers and such.
Keep in mind that emails are ineffective, phone calls are logged in the file and of course letters are best if written well and respectfully.  Letters are kept by the author in a folder.  Letters can be faxed, which is quick and efficient for you. The fax numbers of the Senators are available through the same list as the phone numbers.

Long Gun Registration Bill sent to Suspense File!

Los Angeles's Assemblyman Mike Feuer is stymied again....with his bill AB 809.  This is the second year in a row that he has tried to change the law....the law that now says long guns are definitely not to be registered.  He wants to bring about that change.  Change is such a key word...don't you think?  We hear a lot about change nowadays.  The Assemblyman wants to change the law to require registration of long guns.  AB 809 was heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee today.  Our lobbyist was there to testify.  The bill was ushered off into the Committee's Suspense File.  As it turns out, the Department of Finance opposed the bill, saying that the cost will be too great, there are no new revenues coming in, money has been taken out of the dept and sent elsewhere, they can't afford it.  Now there is a change....the state saying "no," because we can't afford it!  That's change we can believe in.
