Can't happen here?
This is perhaps the ultimate affront to law abiding shotgun owners.

If anyone reading this has ever wondered why the ultra left has continuously tried to promote their point that the U S Constitution with it's Bill of Rights is irrelevant today read the following:

George Mason and the Bill of Rights

Washington Times, by Charles Hurt

Commonly referred to as the “forgotten founder,” George Mason IV had a fair amount of contempt for politics. Especially politicians. It was a dirty, grubby affair that attracted mostly dirty, grubby people. Mason was clairvoyant.

Mason served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and helped craft that document. But he ultimately refused to sign it because, among other flaws, it lacked a bill of rights.

"The American Citizen is the Republic itself, and the tribunal of his authority is set above the Throne of Kings.” To Mason, government was never a sure thing. Free people begrudgingly allowed it to exist in a most limited form to serve a severely limited purpose. And if that government got out of line, free people would simply dispatch it and start over again. Or do without. (Any doubt that he’d have huzzahed the gubmint shutdown last month?)

Looking around Washington today and trying to pick between the all-seeing, all-groping, insatiably power-hungry big government Democrats and the all-seeing, all-groping, insatiably power-hungry big government Republicans, scrapping it all and starting over is not such a bad idea.

After the Constitution was ratified, his continued calls for a bill of rights finally took hold. To this day, this list of rights is the only reason we have not been stripped of our guns. ***It is the only vestige of protection between us and the government spies. It blazed the trail to crush the intolerable institution of slavery — a result that Mason quite purposely knew and predicted would come from his demand of individual liberties.

As paltry and violated as our state of freedom seems today, it has been worse for various people at various other times during our history. Every time, it was the light cast far forward by George Mason that led us home.

And so it will again.

If ANYONE on this forum has any doubts as to why the left wing liberals in Congress
pushed so hard for universal firearms registration last summer and why we fought so hard
to defeat it read on:

Default Confiscation Begins in New York



In the wake of New York’s latest gun control law, the New York Police Department is now sending out notices to registered gun owners demanding that they give up their firearms, clear proof that gun registration leads to outright confiscations.

The notice provides gun owners, who possess firearms now prohibited under New York’s unconstitutional SAFE Act, the “options” to either surrender their firearms to the police, remove them from the city limits or otherwise render them inoperable.
The NYPD knew exactly who to send the notices to by using a centralized firearms registry which lists the city’s gun owners and what firearms they have in their possession.
With the gun database already in place, the police merely needed to compile a list of firearm makes and models now banned under the SAFE Act and send the notices to the appropriate owners.
The SAFE Act, which was passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor on the same day in January, has numerous, draconian provisions including, but not limited to:
- Outright ban of magazines holding over 10 rounds
- Restriction on more than seven rounds being loaded into a magazine; the limited exceptions do not include home defense
- Mandatory background checks for ammunition
- The creation of a firearms registry for what the state considers “assault weapons”
- A requirement for firearm permit holders to fill out a form to keep the state from publicly identifying them

So these scumbags think that harassing gun owners who are already law abiding, by registering their weapons, will deter criminals who haven't registered any weapons??? This is an outrage!! Five rounds? NY state law is 10 round mags are OK, just don't load more than 7!

Don't forget, a court ruling already stated that a convicted felon doesn't have to register his firearms, because that would be self incrimination. Tis true!

Registration then confiscation
Holy crap. Looks like Weimar Germany,



Connecticut gun owners are rushing to register certain firearms and ammunition that will be considered illegal contraband in the new year.

Under a wide-ranging gun control law passed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, they have until Tuesday to submit the paperwork with the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig has an idea for fighting crime — arm more citizens.

"When we look at the good community members who have concealed weapons permits, the likelihood they’ll shoot is based on a lack of confidence in this police department,” said the chief at a press conference this week, The Detroit News reports.

The chief said he believes the financially crippled city's residents are feeling safer and violent crime dropped seven percent in 2013. But Craig said that he's changed his mind over the years over whether citizens should be armed.

He said that when he was on the Los Angeles police force for 28 years, California law made it difficult to get a concealed weapon permit. However, when he became police chief in Portland, Me., in 2009 he changed his mind.

"I got to Maine, where they give out lots of CCWs (carrying concealed weapon permits), and I had a stack of CCW permits I was denying; that was my orientation," Craig said. "I changed my orientation real quick. Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed.”

Craig said on a radio show in mid-December that there are a number of people in Detroit with concealed pistol licenses (CPL), and he thinks it's a deterrent to crime.

"Good Americans with CPLs translates into crime reduction," said Craig. "I learned that real quick in the state of Maine.”

Craig's stance is unusual for a police chief, but Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police Director Robert Stevenson said that there are many police officers who have no problem when law-abiding citizens have guns, but they usually try to stay out of those discussions.

Craig's opinion, though, does not stretch to assault weapons, which he has said should be banned. He's also called for tight restrictions for online ammunition sales, to regulate high-capacity magazines, and for background checks for gun sales.

There were 15 justifiable homicides in Detroit in 2013, down from 25 in 2012, the Detroit News reports. In most of those cases, citizens were defending themselves by killing criminals.

I know the majority of the membership here clearly understand the message in this video. However it's a good an example as any of the type of information that the "mainstream news media" makes a concentrated effort to keep from the general public.
I'll bet this is the first time the majority of you have seen this video or even knew it existed.
