The Peace Plan: a Final Solution to America’s violence problem

By now, many of us have seen the “Peace Plan” that March For Our Lives has unveiled, which happened to be the same day as a guest presenter from the organization spoke about during a scheduled webinar presented by the United Nations Association Of America. The recording of it can be watched here:

We also sent out a notice about it before it happened:

Well, the peace plan is wonderful. It is guaranteed to get rid of all of our problems. If enacted, we will live in a violence free utopian world. I’m so glad that this group is marching towards peace and holding mass rallies like no group has ever done before.

Their plan is so simple that it can be implemented today! Here it is.

https://marchforourlives.com/peace-plan/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=082119f

1. We need a national database of gun owners and their weapons. We need to know who is who and who has what. It’s for our safety. They are not like non-gun owners and need to be watched much more closely. We need to make sure they keep their license to own a firearm up to date. It’s the government’s job to check.

We also need mandatory buyback of “prohibited” weapons and magazines and policies that disarm gun owners who are deemed “undesirable” for firearm ownership. This information will be put into a database so that people will be identified as restricted persons.

2. We MUST declare a national emergency on guns in order to cut guns deaths down. It’s for our safety.

(Final decree):

Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State of 28. February 1933 

On the basis of Article 48, Section 2, of the German Constitution, the following is decreed as a defensive measure against Communist acts of violence that endanger the state: 

§ 1
Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property are permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed. 

§ 2
If any state fails to take the necessary measures to restore public safety and order, the Reich government may temporarily take over the powers of the highest state authority. 

§ 3
State and local authorities must obey the orders decreed by the Reich government on the basis of § 2. 

§ 4
Whoever provokes, appeals for, or incites the disobedience of the orders given out by the supreme state authorities or the authorities subject to them for the execution of this decree, or the orders given by the Reich government according to § 2, can be punished – insofar as the deed is not covered by other decrees with more severe punishments – with imprisonment of not less than one month, or with a fine from 150 to 15,000 Reichsmarks. 

Whoever endangers human life by violating § 1 is to be punished by sentence to a penitentiary, under mitigating circumstances with imprisonment of not less than six months and, when the violation causes the death of a person, with death, under mitigating circumstances with a penitentiary sentence of not less than two years. In addition, the sentence may include the confiscation of property. 

Whoever provokes or incites an act contrary to the public welfare is to be punished with a penitentiary sentence, under mitigating circumstances, with imprisonment of not less than three months. 

§ 5
The crimes which under the Criminal Code are punishable with life in a penitentiary are to be punished with death: i.e., in Sections 81 (high treason), 229 (poisoning), 306 (arson), 311 (explosion), 312 (flooding), 315, paragraph 2 (damage to railways), 324 (general public endangerment through poison). 

Insofar as a more severe punishment has not been previously provided for, the following are punishable with death or with life imprisonment or with imprisonment not to exceed 15 years: 

1. Anyone who undertakes to kill the Reich President or a member or a commissioner of the Reich government or of a state government, or provokes such a killing, or agrees to commit it, or accepts such an offer, or conspires with another for such a murder; 

2. Anyone who under Section 115, paragraph 2, of the Criminal Code (serious rioting) or of Section 125, paragraph 2, of the Criminal Code (serious disturbance of the peace) commits these acts with arms or cooperates consciously and intentionally with an armed person; 

3. Anyone who commits a kidnapping under Section 239 of the Criminal Code with the intention of making use of the kidnapped person as a hostage in the political struggle.

§ 6
This decree enters into force on the day of its promulgation. 

Berlin, 28. February 1933 

The Reich President von Hindenburg
The Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler
The Reich Minister of the Interior Frick
The Reich Minister of Justice Dr. Gürtner 

3. We need to not allow the gun industry and lobby to operate in a free market. It costs too many lives and is morally wrong. Boycott them and SHUT THEM DOWN!

“Don’t buy Jewish. Buy German.”

4. We need to appoint a czar to overlook everything related to guns and gun owners in this final solution to gun violence. They will be responsible for the federal government’s role in making sure gun deaths go down at all costs (no matter how it’s done). They’ll be the “right hand man” of the führer….I mean President.

5. We need the community involved with the federal government in order to identify these people who the state says is a risk. It’s part the community’s job to report ANYONE they see as a potential threat to the goal of “peace”. They must be identified and called out/reported to authorities to the police can arrest them (or at least seize their arms before court).

6. The youth/younger people must be involved. The government will create groups to ensure that they receive the proper instructions and work for the proper causes.

This is a great idea, isn’t it? It’ll work and bring peace. I promise. Now, let’s march and get it done!

Expired FOID Card leads to child being accidentally shot by police during raid

There’s a lot of talk about FOID Card revocation and how it should be handled. Recently, a warrant was served on a man who had an expired (not stated revoked) FOID Card and a possible drug possession. During this, a heavily armed SWAT team raided a private home in Markham, Illinois (a suburb in Cook County). During the raid, an innocent child was shot by police from a negligent discharge.

More on this story:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/12-year-old-boy-sitting-bed-shot-knee-during-police-n1040791?cid=public-rss_20190809

A 12-year-old boy sat on a bed in his family’s suburban Chicago home with his hands up. Outside his bedroom, almost two dozen SWAT officers were executing a search warrant for his mother’s boyfriend.

That’s when the fast-moving events on the early morning of May 26 converged into the terrifying moment Amir Worship, who was shirtless, was shot in the knee by an officer, according to the family’s lawsuit filed Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court alleging negligence.

While the mother’s boyfriend was apprehended, the complaint says, an officer in the bedroom with Amir had ordered him to put his shoes on and was examining the child’s shoe with a flashlight while keeping his automatic rifle aimed at him. Then, the officer’s gun discharged, with a bullet shattering the boy’s kneecap as he sat on the edge of the bed, the family said.

“Mom, they shot me,” Amir screamed, according to the complaint describing the 5 a.m. raid in Markham, south of Chicago. “I can’t move it,” he said in reference to his right leg.

“What is that? There are children in the house,” his mother, Crystal Worship, responded after hearing the sound of the “deafeningly loud” gunshot, according to the suit. “Are you shooting them?”

The suit alleges that the gun’s “safety lock position” was not on, even though “the room had already been cleared and secured minutes earlier, and it was obvious that Amir was a child who was no threat to officers.”

Other sources point out more information, such as the suspect’s FOID Card was “expired” and not revoked:

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/08/07/markham-police-shooting-gone-wrong/

The officers had a search warrant to arrest Worship’s boyfriend, who was wanted for drug possession and possession of weapons with an expired Firearm Owner’s Identification card.

“Then the next thing you know we hear, ‘Police, police!’” Worship said. “Then we hear the flash bangs.”

The flash grenades left burn marks on the floor. But what happened next was far worse.

“We hear a shot,” Worship said, “and I go to go to where the shot was at.”

It was her son – 12-year-old Amir – shot by an officer.

“When he goes to put his flashlight back in his vest, and then returns his arm and his hand to the handle and the trigger of the gun, the gun discharges,” Hofeld said.

Amir was struck in the knee. His kneecap was shattered.……….

As for the charges against Crystal Worship’s boyfriend, they were dropped.

Charges. Were. Dropped.

In Illinois, you need to pay in order to have a FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) Card in order to purchase/posses a firearm or ammunition. Without one, you are a criminal. If you fail to pay the fee/tax to renew your FOID and it expires, you are a criminal in the eyes of the Illinois State Police. So let’s move on to Rep. Kathleen Willis and her “fix the FOID”, which would reduce increase fees, require mandatory fingerprinting, and lessen the amount of time a FOID Card is valid (currently 10 years)……

Video starts off where Rep. Kathleen Willis, the “mastermind” behind “fix the FOID”, SB1966, talks about revoked FOID cards. Watch until 26 minutes in (3 minutes of video total)

https://youtu.be/tZ4wATd90h0?t=23m57s

some quotes:

“How do you bring the number down in a safe manner?”- regarding people who shouldn’t have FOID cards (including expired). I guess “safe” to her is having a SWAT team raid your home in the middle of the night and accidentally shooting your child……

-“We make sure that these 10,000 people are addressed in a safe manner. As law enforcement officers, that’s one of the worst calls that they want to have to go into and knock on your door and ask to give your gun back because you legally shouldn’t have it. That’s not a call any officer wants to go to”.

I couldn’t agree more with that last statement (so why is she so supportive of the whole idea of the FOID Card and making it more burdensome?), which is why it is absurd that you have to pay a fee/fine in order to exercise your 2nd amendment right in Illinois or risk a SWAT team breaching your door if you fail to renew it on time. As to the 10,000 people, they are supposedly people convicted of crimes (I won’t question that). However, having an expired FOID and owning firearms then turns you into a criminal, Your right to keep possession of your firearms are revoked! Are we starting to see what could happen if you don’t pay the king to exercise your “right”? Going back to the raid, all charges were dropped, so who/what tipped of the police? Seems to be a bad tip that resulted in people’s lives being changed forever…..

The FOID Card is a product of the late 1960’s. It is irrelevant today in the digital era. It is now nothing more than a tax and red tape that has no useful effect on crime prevention as proven by the shooting at Henry Pratt earlier this year (link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/opinion/ct-abn-crosby-aurora-thing-st-0526-story.html ).

It’s time to ditch the FOID. It’s time to #VOIDtheFOID.

All Republicans friends of the 2nd Amendment? Think again

Before you dive into this let’s be clear: Just because a candidate/seated politician has a (R) next to them doesn’t mean they abide by their party platform. Here is the IL GOP platform. Please pay attention to page 6 section C:

https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016PlatformoftheIllinoisRepublicanParty.pdf

We believe that day-to-day safety and security in our local communities is critical. Therefore, we strongly endorse and support the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states, in part, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” As a result, we oppose any efforts by the state or municipalities to impede the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

We believe in the use of criminal background checks by licensed firearms dealers.

We oppose any effort to make public any personal information from FOID cards.

We support the statutory repeal of the FOID Act.

We support continued enactment of “Concealed Carry” legislation.

Seems pretty clear that the IL GOP does not endorse gun control. Great! Well, not so fast……

During the 2018 election, some interesting stuff was found via a not widely spread article. As it turns out, the LEADER of the IL senate Republicans turned to an unlikely ally in order to get a boost for some weak incumbent candidates in districts that were up for grabs. Senator Bill Brady, the chairperson of the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee, gave GPAC (Gun Violence Prevention Political Action Committee) $38,000 to run ads for gun control supporting Republican Senators. The IL Senate Republican Campaign Committee PAID THE GUN GRABBERS!

http://thedailyline.net/chicago/10/29/2018/vulnerable-senate-republicans-get-boost-from-gun-violence-prevention-pac/

Three suburban Republican senators facing touch re-election bids are getting help from the Gun Violence Prevention Political Action Committee during a year dominated by debates over gun policy and headlines about gun violence in Illinois and beyond.

Earlier this month, the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee contributed $38,000 to the Gun Violence Prevention Political Action Committee — the largest one-time contribution the organization known as GPAC has received in its nearly six-year history. According to campaign finance records, the Republican committee’s donation also makes it the fourth largest donor to the committee, coming in just behind three people directly involved with the founding and operations of GPAC. 

With that $38,000, the committee sent out mailers on behalf of State Sens. Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst), John Curran (R-Downers Grove) and Tom Rooney (R-Rolling Meadows), touting the three Republicans’ votes on gun legislation. Those three senators are locked in contentious races in the suburbs, where Republicans are worried about winning the votes of women. 

Lawmakers this spring passed three pieces of gun legislation, including the Gun Dealer Licensing Act (SB 337), which Gov. Bruce Rauner has vowed to veto, though it has not yet been sent to his desk. 

Rauner signed HB 2354 — legislation meant to raise a “red flag,” which gives courts the authority to use emergency civil restraining orders to take guns away from individuals that loved ones alerts law enforcement may be a danger to themselves or others. The governor also signed SB 3256, which allows for a 72-hour waiting period for handguns delivery is extended to all guns purchased in Illinois.

Nybo, Curran and Rooney voted yes on all three bills, while the trio largely supported iterations of two other proposals that did not end up passing through both chambers. Theabandoned bills would have banned bump stocks and raised the legal age for buying an assault weapon in Illinois from 18 to 21. 

GPAC Executive Director Kathleen Sances told The Daily Line on Friday that she “couldn’t be more pleased” that Republicans have stepped forward to support gun reform in Illinois, and said the organization was glad because this year was the “first time ever” that GOP incumbents had submitted answers to candidate questionnaires that GPAC had been putting out since 2014. 

“We’ve always benefited from Democrats [supporting us] on the issue and now we’re getting backing and support form the Republican party,” Sances said. “I think this is a turning point for the movement in our state. we’re proud of it…we’ve been working very hard to educate voters in key legislative districts mostly in the suburbs.”

Now, it doesn’t say Bill Brady by name, so we have to dig on who is behind the Illinois Republican State Senate Campaign Committee.

https://ilsenategop.com

https://illinoissunshine.org/committees/republican-state-senate-campaign-committee-17589/

The leader of the IL senate GOP, who should be the example of what the party platform stands for, asked GPAC (think state level Everytown/Giffords) to send out mailers for candidates (2 out of 3 lost re-election) on behalf of senators that support infringements on the 2nd amendment. Here’s some of the flyers that the $38,000 of your IL Senate GOP donations paid for:

Now let’s compare those to one of the Democratic candidate‘s ads that GPAC put out:

And another example (of an endorsement). Hardcore anti-self defense AG Raoul:

The IL Senate GOP turned their backs on the party platform and also the 2nd Amendment in an attempt to maintain the power they had. They failed and sold us out so here we are today, with a super majority in the state legislature and we also have the most rabidly anti-self defense Governor in office that we’ve had in a very long time. It’s time supporters (us peons, not our “masters”) of the 2nd amendment put their differences aside and realize many in office are no friends to our rights. In many instances, we are being played, as it’s not about us, it’s about them and their power.

Knee-jerk reactions and what can happen: Bill Peduto

After the most recent shootings, politicians and professional activists are attempting to capitalize on it in order to push their agendas. At times, buzz words and photos take the lead instead of carefully studying the content. We always hear “ban AR-15’s” and “ban magazines that hold more than 30 rounds”. Well, this here just proves that people that support such ideas often overlook underlying things in plain sight. Case and point: Bill Peduto, the mayor of Pittsburgh.

Yesterday, Mayor Peduto held a press conference with Shannon Watts, the spokesman of Moms Demand Action (Everytown’s ground troops in pressuring legislators to enact gun control). We previously covered how deep Everytown is in Peduto’s policies and how they were the driving force behind his ban on certain firearms even though it goes against the PA state constitution. As shown here, Everytown jumped at the opportunity to capitalize on the Tree of Life shooting on 10/27/18:

https://ilwd4cr.home.blog/2019/04/08/pittsburgh-mayor-bill-peduto-took-his-orders-from-everytown-for-gun-safety-pittsburgh-gun-ban/

After the ban was passed via the city council and signed by Peduto, he stated that Everytown (via Eric Tirschwell, the individual in the 2nd document in the provided link) will be providing legal services to fight the ban for free. I wonder why………

Moving forward, like the example above (blood in the water immediately after a shooting. Time to capitalize on it), these individuals often have knee-jerk reactions. Case and point: Bill Peduto’s retweet from yesterday:

He obviously did not look closer at the 3rd picture, which shows that it is NOT in support of him or his friends at Moms Demand Action.

Upon further research, it is a shirt available to those that wish to mock Moms Demand Action (because honestly, their name is easy to mock):

https://www.funnyshirts.org/design/2637051/Moms+Demand?fbclid=IwAR0ersBHkUbssGcxZkK9SkS4OPGZgOf_G7Tr7KnH03DQqdika7nV6Tky92Y

Peduto failed to examine it and retweeted the comment, which in turn sent it out to his feed and notified all of his 99,000 followers. In turn, he looks like a fool who can’t pay attention to details and see what something that looks good on the surface can really be: a backdoor bodyslam that is not helpful for the agenda you are promoting.

Much like gun control, the “feel good” crowd thinks it will help in saving lives. The reality is, much like the tweet he supported, is that their is a different idea behind it, which is why people must pay attention and realize not everything is as you see and as you are told.

Gun control isn’t about safety, it is about control. Anyone who tells you otherwise is misleading you, just like the twitter user mislead Bill Peduto into supporting them.

Call to investigate Everytown For Gun Safety’s tax exempt status

Dear representative or senator,

Everytown and Moms Demand Action are purported non-profits and exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. I am writing you today to alert you to what I believe are activities that clearly fall outside of Everytown’s non-profit charitable purpose and mission. 

Non-profits organzations are not supposed to engage in “political campaign activity” and if they do, IRS regulations mandate that the charitable nonprofit will lose its tax-exempt status. I have routinely observed representatives and officers from Everytown and Moms Demand Action engaging in political campaign activity (actively supporting or opposing a candidate for public office), explicitly and well beyond mere lobbying or legislative activities. Examples of their political activity can be found here on their 2017 form 990 return form:

https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2017/208/802/2017-208802884-10455af3-9O.pdf

Page 2 section 4a: “The organization also supported successful candidates for elected office nationwide, most notably in Virginia”.

Page 34-37 part IV: “In 2017, Everytown For Gun Safety Action Fund made contributions to political candidates and political committees related to promoting the election of candidates who support the enactment of common-sense public safety measures to keep our communities safer from gun violence. In addition, Everytown made coordinated expenditures for communications related to the election of candidates for public office in Virginia and New Jersey.”

page 56 part III: “In 2017, the organization established Everytown PAC, a separate segregated fund registered with the Federal Election Commission, to encourage the interest in Everytown members in the political process and promote the election of responsible, qualified candidates regardless of party affiliation, who support common sense solutions to gun violence” (note: Only one political party is being promoted and supported, as seen in the candidates they financially support)

Further, as per the IRS, 501 (c) (4) organizations are not allowed to operate in a partisan manner:

——–

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicm95.pdf

Guidance regarding educational activities under IRC 501(c)(4) is derived from revenue rulings and court decisions regarding the educational activities of IRC 501(c)(3) organizations.1 Generally, political educational organizations must

The following examples illustrate how the definition of “educational” applies in the context of “political” organizations claiming exemption under IRC 501(c)(4):

Example (1) Organization A conducts research, seminars, forums, and other educational programs for the public on issues of public concern. It also engages in substantial lobbying activities. Its activities are under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of prominent individuals with backgrounds in academics and/or government. While A’s philosophy on the issues is generally consistent with that of a major political party, it conducts its activities in a non-partisan manner and is not affiliated in any way with the political party. B’s activities are primarily “educational”; accordingly, it qualifies for exemption under IRC 501(c)(4).

They are allowed to be consistent with one party, but must remain non-partisan. This is an issue because Everytown For Gun Safety, on top of evidence above, uses ActBlue (only supports democratic candidates) as their main source for handling donations. Clicking on their website:

For these reasons, I implore you to investige into whether (i) the Everytown and/or Moms Demand Action have violated the federal laws governing 501(c)(4) charitable organizations since they became Everytown For Gun Safety in 2013, and (ii) if so, consider what remedies are warranted, including asking the IRS to revoke their 501(c)(4) status.

I understand this is a politically charged issue, however, the fact that Everytown and Moms Demand Action are in large part merely a path for “dark money” which apearts to benefit only Democratic candidates. These organizations appear to be hiding behind the veneer of non-profit status, while essentially serving as de-facto political action committees.

I sincerely and respectfully ask that, as my representative in Congress, you ask that investigations begin of these organizations.

Dear Senator (or Representative) [Insert Last Name]:

My name is [Insert Your Name] and I reside in [Insert Your City, State].

I am deeply troubled by the actions of several non-profit groups that are explicitly engaging in aggressive political campaign activities. Everytown for Gun Safety, and its Moms Demand Action group, are purported non-profits and exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. I am writing you today to alert you to what I believe are activities that clearly fall outside of Everytown’s non-profit charitable purpose and mission. 

Non-profits organizations are not supposed to engage in “political campaign activity” and if they do, IRS regulations mandate that the charitable nonprofit will lose its tax-exempt status. I have routinely observed representatives and officers from Everytown and Moms Demand Action engaging in political campaign activity (actively supporting or opposing a candidate for public office), explicitly and well beyond mere lobbying or legislative activities. Examples of their political activity can be found here on their 2017 form 990 return form:  https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images…0455af3-9O.pdf

Their own document specifies that 
• Page 2 section 4a: “The organization also supported successful candidates for elected office nationwide, most notably in Virginia”.

• Page 34-37 part VI: “In 2017, Everytown For Gun Safety Action Fund made contributions to political candidates and political committees related to promoting the election of candidates who support the enactment of common-sense public safety measures to keep our communities safer from gun violence. In addition, Everytown made coordinated expenditures for communications related to the election of candidates for public office in Virginia and New Jersey.”

Everytown for Gun Safety has provided explicit support and donations for campaign finance activities, including:
• Democratic Governors Association
• Florida Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
• Friends for Adam Morfeld (Nebraska State Senator) $5000
• Friends of Justin Fairfax (Lieutenant Governor of Virginia) $10,000
• Friends of Manka Dhingra (Washington State Senator) $1000

• South Carolina House Democratic Caucus $2500
• Virginia House Democratic Caucus $50,000
• Virginians for Mark Herring (attorney General of Virginia) $70,000

Local representatives of Everytown and Moms Demand Action leaders, actively campaign for political candidates under the banner of these organizations. Political candidates appear at Moms Demand Action meetings to make campaign speeches.

For these reasons, I implore you to investigate whether (i) the Everytown and/or Moms Demand Action have violated the federal laws governing 501(c)(4) charitable organizations since they became Everytown For Gun Safety in 2013, and (ii) if so, consider what remedies are warranted, including asking the IRS to revoke their 501(c)(4) status.

I understand this is a politically charged issue, however, the fact that Everytown and Moms Demand Action are in large part merely a path for “dark money” for with the only beneficiary appears to be Democratic political candidates. These organizations seem to be hiding behind the veneer of non-profit status, while essentially serving as de-facto political action committees.

I sincerely and respectfully ask that, as my representative in Congress, you support an investigation of these organizations, any why they continue to enjoy tax-exempt status while explicitly engaging in political campaign activities.

Sincerely,

We are all at risk for losing our 2nd amendment rights

Over the past week we have seen 3 high profile shootings. Gilroy, El Paso, and now Dayton. Regardless of the reasoning that the shootings occurred, people are dead. With the deaths of people because firearms were used, we also have the anti-self defense lobby and their supporters all riled up and giddy that they get to use the dead to push their agenda. Matter of fact, just hours after El Paso, our friends at Everytown (Michael Bloomberg’s anti-self defense organization) sent out a nice little email at 8:48PM the day of the shooting to get people ready to “Demand Action”:

Isn’t it just lovely? Using a tragedy where people lost their lives in order to recruit people to your cause and then pump them up, train them, and then send them out to protest and contact legislators in order to beg them to create more defenseless victims, ensuring more dead bodies and more press releases and in turn, more recruit. Sickening.

The anti-self defense lobby and their allies are good (actually, VERY good) at crying crocodile tears (unlike the real tears which happen when their preferred political candidate loses) after all of these shootings. Their goal is to play into people’s emotions and get them to beg for guns to be banned and label anyone who disagrees as a monster. Here are some examples on how they use attempt to guilt trip gullible people into supporting there agenda:

In this example, if you like your guns and right to self defense with your preferred weapon, you love your guns more than kids (poll didn’t go the way he expected) .

Here, we see the spokesman of Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action blaming stores who allow open carry for “not protecting their customers”.

Here, if you don’t support “changing the gun laws”, you’re ok with children getting killed.

And finally, if you don’t support the repeal of the 2nd amendment, you have a small penis.

So, with the above, if you DON’T support a ban on semi-automatic rifles and the repeal of the 2nd amendment, you’re a monster who thinks their guns are more important than kids, you don’t care about your customers (if you’re a company) and you have a small penis. You have been generalized and shunned.

This fight is no longer Democrat Vs Republican either, as after these tragedies, we are starting to see both sides in power come together to force gun control down our throats. It’s just “common sense”, even if it wouldn’t have “mattered”:

Even worse, some politicians (gun control advocates) laugh and giggle about what happened:

So now that it’s clear that there is a bi-partisan effort to act on guns, what are some of the ideas that the anti-self defense lobby has to prevent shootings? Well, take a look……

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2018/4/19/18328465/illinois-plan-replace-armed-school-officers-with-therapists

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Some Illinois lawmakers want to give extra money to schools that replace armed security officers with unarmed social workers and behavior therapists, an approach to safety that’s far different than a national push to add police or arm teachers following a mass shooting at a Florida high school.

Does talking to someone on a rampage stop them? Didn’t think so. Does giving more money to schools that replace armed security with shrinks save lives? Didn’t think so either. So how is this going to ensure there will be less victims if a shooting at a school happens? It doesn’t.

We also have talks of banning/confiscating certain types of firearms, as made famous by IL state senator Julie Morrison:

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/20/julie-morrison-illinois-state-senator-raises-gun-c/

Tough questions about gun rights prompted Illinois state Sen. Julie Morrison to taunt a constituent with possible gun “confiscation” policies in the future.

The Illinois State Rifle Association recently shared footage of the Democrat’s mocking response to a town hall participant who asked pointed questions about SB107, legislation that penalizes lawful gun owners with a fine.

“I’m not taking your gun away from you,” the lawmaker told her constituent on June 11. “You just can’t buy any new ones.”

“Unless I pay a fine for each firearm and register them, then I get to keep them,” the questioner replied. “So, if I get to keep it if I pay a fine and register it, then how dangerous is it in the first place and why do I need to pay it at all? Why do you need to try and ban my semi-automatic weapon?”

“Well, you just maybe changed my mind,” Ms. Morrison said. “Maybe we won’t have a fine at all. Maybe it’ll just be a confiscation and we won’t have to worry about paying the fine.”

So why won’t this be effective in reducing “gun violence” as they call it? Well, because sending people with guns to confiscate other people’s guns is “gun violence” waiting to happen! Sadly, there are individuals that are perfectly fine with this:

It needs to be perfectly clear that 2nd amendment supporters and advocates CAN NOT reason with a majority of the anti-self defense crowd. It’s not going to happen. “Reasoning and compromise” to them is us caving into their demands. That’s it. Don’t fall into their trap (see previous comments of generalizing gun owners).

The sickest thing about these politicians and activists that support anti-self defense laws (like limiting types of weapons people chose to use for home defense, making it law to keep your gun locked up and out of reach in an emergency, opposing concealed and carry, limiting your magazine capacity (which can be the difference between life and death in a home invasion), advocating for “smart guns” (which are unreliable and fail easier), and many many more) is that as soon as tragedy strikes, they are excited and just waiting to get their agenda pushed even farther. Much like a high school boy anticipating on losing his virginity on prom night with his date, they just can’t help themselves in their excitement. It’s disgusting on multiple levels. People die and they take to social media and TV and promote their policies and bills in an attempt to get fame and support. It’s all part of their propaganda and SOP’s:

As gun owners, the time has come that we all need to realize our rights are at risk. It no longer matters if you’re a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, etc. Whether you’re Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits and “don’t need one of them black assault rifles” or you’re a pistol packing lady that carries to protect herself and her children when out in public, you are the target of the anti-self defense lobby and it’s friends. Don’t be fooled, as one day, they will come for your guns, and it might be soon, as they are foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to make you defenseless and turn you into a criminal or victim at the stroke of a pen. Stay vigilant, be safe, and unite. We all have a major fight for our rights ahead of us. Don’t let them control the narrative.

Kathleen Willis: “Age should be a discriminatory factor in firearm ownership” (Franklin Park, IL town hall event on 7/17/19 with Kathleen Willis and Don Harmon)

(I apologize about some of the formatting issues in advance)

Straight out of Illinois yet again, as if competing with Senator Julie Morrison (remember her? The one that got mad about being questioned on registering/paying a fine on semi-auto rifles and then flat out said “we’ll just have a confiscation so you won’t have to worry about a fine”?).

Well, lovely anti-gun Illinois State Representative Kathleen Willis (D-77) now suggests that a person’s age should be a disqualifying factor in the right to bear arms. Yep. No guns for old (or young?) people. You don’t have a right to defend yourself according to Kathleen Willis. Please watch the entire exchange in the video:


17:40 to 18:07: Constitutional carry, according to Willis, is open carry (wut?) and has no background checks (um, still gotta fill out a 4473 and undergo a background check when you buy a firearm, AND we still have a FOID card (🤮), which means 365 background checks a year, one per day).

She also (18:08-18:18) has a problem with anyone having a “Constitutional right” (her words) for people to carry a gun. She “has a problem with that”.

At 18:38 to 19:03, she says that the right to carry a firearm is “not an inalienable right” and that if people would “take a step back from the 2nd amendment, that we would realize there are people who should not have access to weapons, whether it’s their mental health, THEIR AGE, whatever it may be”. Sorry aging veterans, baby boomers, and seniors. You’re all senile and shouldn’t own firearms

19:06-19:26 she states that “private citizens should not have access to certain weapons”, in which she means semi-automatic rifles (since machine guns are already heavily regulated).

25:25 to 26:00, Willis states “as law enforcement officers, that’s one of the worst calls that they want to have to go into, and knock on a door and ask for you to give your gun back because you legally shouldn’t have it.  That’s not a call that any of the officer wants to go to.” That’s correct, Kathleen, so why were you advocating for red flag laws? Why are you advocating for making it more difficult for honest citizens to obtain a FOID card in order to comply with the law? Are you trying to put law enforcement and civilians at risk? Yes, yes you are, all because you think it will make people “safe”…….

Closing out on Kathleen Willis, this is the same representative who supports maintaining the fingerprints of EVERY resident of Illinois as long as it “makes the state safer”. Invasion of privacy and having every resident in a database = safety in her mind (the mind of a tyrant):

I suggest you all watch the YouTube video (starting at 17:40) and see what we are all up against in Illinois, especially regarding Senator Don “Gun Dealer Licensing Act” Harmon. This guy starts off at 20:08 stating thatA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I attach importance to the first clause. It’s the only right that I can think of in the constitution that requires regulation.” Yep, he doesn’t know that “well regulated” in 18th century English (time the Bill of Rights was written) meant well trained/supplied. A scholar that guy…..

At 26:26, a person in the audience talks about straw purchases and how prosecutors are not enforcing the law as strictly as they should. The audience member goes on (correctly) and states that handguns are not allowed to be legally transferred across state lines unless it goes through a FFL. After a brief exchange, the audience member asks “why should I have a FOID card to exercise my 2nd amendment right in Illinois when in every other state you can do it with your driver’s license“? Harmon’s snotty answer? “Well regulated militia” and he then sits down.

We have some of the most anti-Constitution Representatives and Senators in Illinois that just don’t care about our rights as citizens. They pick and choose what suits their personal opinion and agenda. One thing is a common factor with most of these goons though (Willis, Morrison, Harmon), take a peek:

One thing is clear: Elected officials supported by Moms Demand Action believe the constitution is worth nothing more than toilet paper. They don’t even understand what rights and infringements are. Old folks, your right to bear arms should be revoked (per Kathleen Willis, the #1 gun grabber in Illinois).

“Because I’m the Number 1 gun grabber in the state of Illinois”- Kathleen Willis

Virginia Beach, VA FOIA and Moms Demand Action

In the news a lot lately has been Governor Ralph Northam and his allies attempting to enact gun control because of the 5/31/19 Virginia Beach Shooting. Ralph “Black Face” Northam and is no stranger to Bloomberg’s moms.

More on Ralph’s “Black Face” here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/01/us/politics/ralph-northam-yearbook-blackface.html

And let’s not forget the lovely Lieutenant Governor, Justin Fairfax, and his sexual assault problems (believe all women, right?):

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/04/02/justin-fairfax-accusers-vanessa-tyson-and-meredith-watson-give-details/3343182002/

Where’s your hand there, Justin?

Boy oh boy, Bloomberg’s Moms sure know how to pick wonderful people, but moving on…..

Obtained via a Freedom Of Information Act request, the city of Virginia Beach has been working with Moms Demand Action at least since May of this year (before the shooting). They were able to persuade the Mayor of VB to declare a “Gun Violence Awareness Proclamation” day for the city (pay attention to the dates of the e-mails):

Moving forward, MDA also reached out just ONE DAY after the shooting happened (what an opportunity, am I right?!?!?). What a great time to work some more into the event before the mayor speaks in order to push their agenda!

Here’s an email a few days later with the mentioned Proclamation:

Like every good parasite, Moms Demand Action loves to weasel their way into a body and make themselves part of the governing process. Virginia Beach is no different. They got in before the tragedy on 5/31 and used their connections to make their little marketing stunt (Wear Orange on June 7) front and center of the tragedy. These people are disgusting slime and governments should realize what they want: publicity to advance THEIR organization’s agenda, not what the community wants as a whole:

https://wtkr.com/2019/06/07/community-groups-ask-for-leaders-to-take-a-stance-on-gun-violence/

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Students gathered at the water fountain at Town Center Friday to use their voices.

“One hundred Americans die every single day from gun violence, and if this works – if it saves a single person – then it’s worth it,” said Jenna Swetland.

She’s a high school senior and member of Students Demand Action and March for Our Lives. Swetland and other students stood in the rain with their megaphones and posters demanding for legislation to keep everyone safe.

“I’ve watched how many mass shootings occur… how many of them were in schools? It’s too many to count, and there’s really not that much being done where there should be,” she adds.

Less than a mile away at Thalia United Methodist Church, the local chapter of Moms Demand Actionhosted their annual Wear Orange event to help end gun violence.

They wear orange for two reasons: To honor Hadiyah Pendleton, a 15-year-old who was shot and killed in Chicago two weeks after performing at President Obama’s inauguration, and the fact it’s also a color worn in the woods.

“[It’s] a color that hunters use to represent human life when they are out hunting to recognize, ‘I’m a human, don’t shoot me,'” said Moms Demand Action leader Leigh Anne Woodside.

This group says they are fighting for change. “Universal background checks, protections for domestic abusers, combating the daily toll of gun violence within our communities, holding the gun industry accountable,” said Woodside.

Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer attended the Wear Orange event. He said, “Put politics aside and we sit down and come up with rational conversations to come up with rational solutions.”

Mayor Dyer says even after last week’s tragic event, Virginia Beach is still one of the safest cities for its size.

“This is not just a Virginia Beach problem. This is not just a Commonwealth of Virginia problem; this is a national problem, and maybe we can start the discussion on a local level and also include the state and federal to come up with some common-sense approaches,” said Dyer.

To mayor Dyer I offer a piece of advice: look into who backs this organization financially and also who they associate with. Do you condone people who do black face and commit sexual assault like Moms Demand Action does? Put politics aside and stop giving into these billionaire (Bloomberg) funded organizations like Moms Demand Action.

On a related note, Wear Orange (as seen in the Virginia Beach FOIA) is nothing other than a fundraising drive for Everytown For Gun Safety (the Lobbying arm of Moms Demand Action). They sell Wear Orange items to MAKE MONEY. So, who really profits off of death and misery? The gun grabbers who instill fear into people into supporting a false agenda. Look at the prices for the items…..

Heck, they even have professional fashion designers involved in the campaign (who also get a cut of the profits)

https://everytown.org/press/cynthia-rowley-christian-siriano-and-bonnie-young-launch-commemorative-t-shirt-collection-to-mark-the-fifth-year-of-moms-demand-action-for-gun-sense-in-america/

NEW YORK – Today, members of the Everytown Fashion Council, part of the Everytown Creative Council, announced the launch of a limited-edition collection of t-shirts to mark the fifth year of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety. The collection includes designs from Cynthia Rowley, Christian Siriano and Bonnie Young, as well as graphic designer Rebecca Cohen, a volunteer with the Oregon chapter of Moms Demand Action. The t-shirts are available here.

“I am so honored to have the opportunity to be a voice that stands for safer schools, homes and communities,” said fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. “Hundreds of lives are affected by gun violence every day. This tee represents five years of hope, persistence and change. Let’s join hands on the front line.” 

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America began in 2012 as a Facebook page on the day after 26 children and educators were shot and killed at the Sandy Hook School. From that moment of outrage and heartbreak, the organization turned into a grassroots powerhouse, with hundreds of thousands of volunteers and a chapter in every state. Together with Everytown, Moms Demand Action has nearly five million supporters across the country. 

“As an Everytown Creative Council member, it’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of the Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America initiative,” said fashion designer Christian Siriano. “This t-shirt is a creative way for me to contribute to this vital movement, and help bring attention to a cause that calls for immediate change.” 

Efforts from Moms Demand Action volunteers and gun violence survivors have helped to stop the gun lobby’s priority bills in statehouses more than 90 percent of the time. Additionally, since the founding of Moms Demand Action, at least 26 states have passed or improved measures to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. 

“As a designer and volunteer with Moms Demand Action since its early days, it was a privilege to work on this project,” said Rebecca Cohen, a graphic designer and volunteer with the Oregon chapter of Moms Demand Action. “My design honors this amazing and unique grassroots network of volunteers dedicated to ending gun violence. The volume of hashtags on my shirt represents a milestone and provides a reminder of how hard we’ve worked and how far we’ve come, while providing motivation to #KeepGoing.” 

The t-shirts are the latest in a series of notable Everytown Fashion Council and Creative Council efforts, including taking part in the 2018 Wear Orange campaign on National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

Talk about “blood money”……….

Attention Illinois! Save the date (July 20th)

On July 20, there will be an important event. People who support the constitution NEED to show up if they’re available. It’s the 2nd annual March For Our Rights rally. Unlike the widely known gun control group March For Our Lives, this is truly a grassroots movement (no professional astroturf activists and big money).

The event is from 10-12pm at Memorial Park in Wheaton, IL and has a fantastic lineup of speakers:

For more information, visit their Facebook page.

https://m.facebook.com/march4ourrights/?ref=page_internal

We are experiencing attacks on all of our rights in Illinois. We have a rogue majority in the legislature that cares nothing about about the constitution (only what they pick an chose) and people need to be seen and heard standing up for what makes America the greatest country on earth: our rights as citizens. We need to take a page out of the book of those that go against our rights. We need to get active. We need to protest. Most of all, we need to show that we are NOT backing down.

Spread the word and let’s have a great turnout!
