Alert: Gun Hater Lautenberg Proposes "Extraordinary Powers" Be Given To the U.S. Attorney General To Limit Gun Sales.
Obama and the White House are looking the other way as Lautenberg seeks
to ban guns from 1,000,000 US citizens on a secret FBI terrorist watch
list. Obama has deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90
million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would
not try to take away anyone's firearms. Now Obama's silence endorses
Lautenberg's latest attempt at banning guns.
Lautenberg has now introduced bill S. 1317 that would give the attorney
general the discretion to block gun sales to people on terror watch
lists. We must defeat this bill from giving extraordinary powers to
limit gun sales to the Attorney General.
Lautenberg To Reveal Names on Secret List.
The names of the people on the watch list are secret, and Lautenberg
said he was frustrated by the F.B.I.'s refusal to disclose to
investigators details and specific cases of gun purchases beyond the
aggregate data.
Gun hater Lautenberg requested the gun grab study from the Government
Accountability Office. He is using statistics, compiled in the report
that is scheduled for public release next week to invade US citizen's
privacy and put more restrictions on the Second Amendment.
Lautenberg said he wanted a better understanding of who is being allowed to buy guns.
How you ask? Trial by innuendo and misinformation that has put
1,000,000 Americans and maybe even you on a terrorist watch list
without your knowledge by saying: people placed on this government's
terrorist watch list can be stopped from getting on a plane or getting
a visa, and will also be stopped from buying a gun.
Lautenberg wants gun purchases stopped for just being on the list.
Current law states federal officials must find some other
disqualification of a would-be gun buyer, like being a felon, an
illegal alien or a drug addict.
Is your name on the list and can you get it removed?
The government's consolidated watch list, used to identify people
suspected of links to terrorists, has grown to more than one million
names since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It also has drawn widespread
criticism over the prevalence of mistaken identities and unclear links
to terrorism.
A CNN story raises questions about mistaken identities on the list -
James Robinson is a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and a
commercial pilot for a major airline who flies passenger planes around
the country.
James Robinson is a retired brigadier general and a commercial pilot. His name is on the terrorist "watch list."
He has even been certified by the Transportation Security
Administration to carry a weapon into the cockpit as part of the
government's defense program should a terrorist try to commandeer a
plane.
But there's one problem: James Robinson, the pilot, has difficulty even
getting to his plane because his name is on the government's terrorist
"watch list."
That means he can't use an airport kiosk to check in; he can't do it
online; he can't do it curbside. Instead, like thousands of Americans
whose names match a name or alias used by a suspected terrorist on the
list, he must go to the ticket counter and have an agent verify that he
is James Robinson, the pilot, and not James Robinson, the terrorist.
"Shocking's a good word; frustrating," Robinson -- the pilot -- said.
"I'm carrying a weapon, flying a multimillion-dollar jet with
passengers, but I'm still screened as, you know, on the terrorist watch
list."
History Repeating Itself?
The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law,
superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required
to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a
firearm. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to
"...persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a
need for a (gun) permit."
Lautenberg Must be Stopped!
Recently Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Dianne
Feinstein (D-CA) have joined Paul Helmke, President of the Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and victims and family members of the
Virginia Tech tragedy, to introduce legislation to eliminate the
private transfers of firearms and close the nation's "gun show
loophole."
This Senate bill is in the Judiciary Committee, chaired by anti-gun
liberal Democrat Leahy. Lautenberg's gun hate is well documented and he
says you are irrational if you support private gun sales.
"There is no rational reason to oppose closing the loophole.
The reason it's still not closed is simple: the continuing power of the
special interest gun lobby in Washington" Sen. Lautenberg said ignoring
the Constitution.
LAUTENBERG'S MOTIVES
Motives for his latest gun ban to are twofold:
* First, he is taking small steps to enact gun control legislation this is just one step.
* Second, eradicate the gun culture altogether.
All that seems to be on the minds of the Anti-Gun Senators and at the
offices of gun control extremists is figuring out how to invade your
privacy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of
self-defense.
Now the Anti-Gun Coalitions are trying to use a self supporting GAO
study to destroy the right of all Americans to keep and bear arms to
protect themselves under the law. They are attacking and hiding behind
an Anti-Terrorist Agenda while getting political and financial support
from:
George Soros a Hungarian-born billionaire bank rolling efforts with his
check book and spending more that $100 million to destroy the
Constitution.
After calling Mike Dobb this afternoon I was told in no uncertain terms that under no circumstances would he even entertain the idea of permitting an information courtesy table to be allowed on any property under his control.
Unfortunately this is a common response that liberals give when faced with the conservative idea of freedom of speech or expression.
Nevertheless we/I will be on public property on TEA PARTY DAY in Puyallup in Washington State this 4th of July 2009. I'll be there handing out cards and tea bags, hopefully awakening the almost lost, deeply hidden or disguised indomitable spirit that made us Americans. (Splash, Splash...)
