Fake News and Deportations
Mr. Husein-Obama, whose non-fake middle name we're not supposed to use for reasons that were unclear at press time, deported 240,000 illegal aliens in the last year of his command. Compare the stink the media raised over that, to their conniptions now. The one million illegal aliens already under final court orders for deportation, filed during Hussein-Obama's tenure, should be carried out, or what's the point in having courts and spending that money? Does the media have an obligation to report that prominently? Is lighting their hair on fire over Mr. Trump's actions to enforce existing law, which is part of his job description, cause for alarm, as has been reported? The deception posed by the deportation narrative permeating the left-wing media is full and fair grounds for their label as fake news. They have fired their ombudsmen. I'm all they have left. Uninvited.

Fake News and Voter Fraud
The liberal left and mainstream media insist there are too few fraudulently cast votes to matter, cast from up to 30 million illegal aliens backed by liberals in the United States. The number of people here illegally is hotly contested, with liberals going low (11 million) and conservatives going greater. The president of the nation says between 3 and 5 million illegal votes cast were cast in 2016. Hussein-Obama and democrats fought for eight years to prohibit or limit any form of ID requirement to vote, while simultaneously, and to this day, fighting to let non-citizens enter and remain in the country, with few if any restrictions, and obtain ID, with mixed degrees of success. The idea that none of them voted is absurd, the interest in and direction of such a vote is self-evident, and no one has investigated comprehensively. Have you seen that in the news.

Breaking Up Families with Deportations
If one of my parents was ever deported there is no way on Earth the rest of the family would stay behind. Unless perhaps if the place we were from was such an abysmal pest hole there is no way any of us would ever go back there. Which is a point to be made, and shame on those places. What a wonderful nation we live in, and have worked hard to make this way. Check out our immigration laws -- robust, fair, welcoming, easily understood, ports of entry, rules, applications -- just like any nation on Earth. Unlike so many others, we've made something of it. Individual freedom is that magnet, remember.

Fake News and Guns
I've been saying this since I began writing as the Uninvited Ombudsman, because I see it. Now that the president is saying it people are listening, but the lamestream media is denying it, and doing everything they can to say it isn't so.

"If it's in the "news" and it's about guns, it's probably 100% wrong." Alan Korwin

Associated Press: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article131716989.html

AP writes: " The National Rifle Association of America says concealed carry is legal in 11 states, including Maine and Vermont."

Concealed carry is legal in all 50 states.

The media is becoming on of the worst enemies the nation faces. I've been saying that for years as well. https://www.gunlaws.com/PageNineIndex.htm. It's in a specific speech I give, because the "news" media, in quote marks like that, is portraying a country that doesn't exist, and so is misleading the nation. They are wielding power is a corrupt way, and whether they can't see it or are deliberately pursuing s corrupt agenda, they are harming the nation tremendously. as much as anything, they have created the massive divide the nation faces.

The distorted Second Amendment view that permeates the entire news edifice is emblematic of the entire structure in virtually every facet. Guns are good. That sense is lacking anywhere in the media. Hence, everything written is fake, a warped guns are evil view of reality that doesn't reflect reality. The people receiving the news, 100 million of them gun owners, can see this. Pick your field, if you're in it, you see the difference between what your field is and what the dominant media portrays it as.

Someone Reach Sean Hannity
Will someone tell Sean Hannity that government (people in the capital) doesn't have the right to tell a woman anything?

He goes on and on about whether government has -- or should have -- the right to tell a woman what to do with her body, or what rights it has to tell you about your guns.

Government only has powers -- limited delegated powers. Do they (people in the capital) have the power to tell a woman, or you, about any subject? That's the question.

Confusing powers and rights is common, and really really wrong. Media gets it wrong all the time -- "police have the right to arrest you if..." Media likes it that way, it advances a statist agenda. People have rights. Government has powers. It's civics 101 Sean my friend. I can't seem to reach him. Will someone reach out to him and tell him: "Government doesn't have the right to do anything." Government only has the "power" to do what we have delegated it to do. Government of limited delegated power.

Holy Tea Party Gatman! They're Women!

Is the new women's movement the liberal's Tea Party?
The women seemed to dominate the men. Are they civil?




But remember the amazing creativity on civil Tea Party signs?




Liberals may have found their voice -- or at least their women have -- and it may represent a big swing of the pendulum just like the Tea Party did, a sleeping giant aroused (literally) to action. But they missed half a billion female slaves living under muslim rule, and those masters, excusing it with multiculturalism, and tolerance, and blind media promoting deceptive "news." And civility has left the room. More on this minor wrinkle soon.

GUN LAW UPDATE

1- Hearing Protection Act 2017

"H.R. 367 Hearing Protection Act of 2017" Duncan, (R-TN 2nd District)
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/367/all-actions

Introduced 1/9/17, assigned to Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations, referred 2/6, still there 2/28/17.


The Gist:
When this bill is enacted, silencers are removed from the restrictive NFA law (National Firearms Act, dating back to 1934). The $200 "transfer tax" ends for all transactions from Oct. 22, 2015 and going forward. Silencers become treated as ordinary firearms, subject to the same manufacturing, possession and sales rules as ordinary long guns and sidearms, at the federal and state levels.

A person lawfully getting or having one will be treated as if they meet any registration and licensing required under the National Firearms Act. A law within a state that interferes with making, transferring, using, possessing or transporting a silencer, or imposes a tax, or requires a mark, record keeping or registration of a silencer, "shall have no force or effect."

Basically, if the statute operates as intended silencers become regulated only under the gun laws the public is familiar with, in 18 USC §921 and beyond ("et seq." in Latin). If there was stock in a silencer company, it would be a smart buy. Home manufacture for personal use would fit within the law. On passage we could reasonably expect a slew of new firms, models, integral pistol designs, holsters and more.

Just nudge government out of the way, economy flourishes, textbook theory proves itself again, I love saying that every time it happens.

Potential snags are everywhere unfortunately. Some states will hate this, feds telling them what to do, they'll be tempted to sue, to declare it unconstitutional. Cities get around tax bans... by imposing "fees." The lists, as all lists do, leave wiggle room, look again, watch some city will try to "certify" the products, that's not registration, right? The definition of silencer is deleted from the NFA statute, and then anyone getting or having one is treated as having registered and licensed it. That's sort of odd, though it does address the many little tax, transfer, approval and transport burdens the law also would require. The definitions in the regular gun laws would likely apply (this is stuck in tax law, Title 26 Internal Revenue Code).

To help make things difficult to understand, Congress refers to "Section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986" and amending, striking out, and adding language. They could instead refer to our statute directly (26 USC §5845a), which is easy to find and read, and say: Delete this from "(a)," the list of weapons:

"(7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code);"

NOTE: You can find this section on page 260 of our book Gun Laws of America.

Silencers are environmentally friendly devices, contributing to more peaceful surroundings, with excellent health benefits in protecting hearing and lowering stress. The muffled report allows for easier placement of practice ranges, and improves training, with better communication between student and instructor. If OSHA was doing its job, silencers would be available at Walgreens and Rite Aid.









2- 2017 SHOT Show
SHOT (Shooting Shunting and Outdoor Trade) Show, Las Vegas

The biggest trade show on Earth, for the #2 participant sport in America, the shooting sports, a constant gold-medal winner at the Olympics, all but ignored (or vilified by the lamestream media. It is no wonder the new president calls the media fake news. They are. They do nothing but vilify the very thing that keeps Amerians safe, gives them pleasure, and keeps the free world free. The tiny percentage of evil, ghettoized miscreants who wreak havoc on themselves and others, are ignored in large measure by authorities, and are promoted on front pages to sell audience size by corrupt reporters and editors who are now among the worst enemies of freedom our nation faces. Journalists can't see it, don't understand it.

The show this year, as in past years, exhibits the latest greatest gear and advancements in self defense, military and police weaponry, accessories, open only to the trade, like other professional trade shows.

4- Hussein-Obama's Last-Day Lead Ban
Yes, it's real, but there's more to it


Acting on his last day in office, the 44th president who for eight years swore he supported the Second Amendment, but did virtually nothing independently to demonstrate that (he was forced into a few less than disastrous moves), had the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issue a directive to ban the use of lead on lands they control. This will affect hunting and fishing on those public lands. You can read the entire directive here:

https://www.fws.gov/policy/do219.html

Key portions of their announcement sum it up:

United States Department of the Interior
FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
Washington D.C. 20240

Sec. 3 What is the Service's overall policy?
It is the Service's policy to:
Require the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle to the fullest extent practicable for all activities on Service lands, waters, and facilities by January 2022, except as needed for law enforcement or health and safety uses, as provided for in policy.

Sec. 5 What steps will the Service take to phase in the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle?
a. The Service will continue to support targeted research to understand the human, fish, and wildlife health benefits of using nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle.
 
b. The Service will continue to work with states and other partners on education efforts regarding the benefits and effectiveness of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle.

Sec. 6 When is this Order effective?
This Order is effective immediately. It remains in effect until we incorporate it into the Fish and Wildlife Service Manual, or until we amend, supersede, or revoke it, whichever comes first. If we do not amend, supersede, or revoke it, the provisions of this Order will terminate on July 31, 2018.

Date: January 19, 2017
Hussein-Obama left office on Jan. 20, 2017.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation remarked:

NSSF Calls Foul On USFWS Director's Parting Shot On Traditional Ammunition
NEWTOWN, Conn. - The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, condemned the decision by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe banning the use of traditional ammunition on Service lands in just five years.

The parting shot, Director's Order 219 , was issued on the final full day of President Obama's administration. The last-minute action revives an effort the administration undertook eight years ago to ban the use of traditional ammunition. <snip>

Politics is a dirty business, especially when played by dirty players. Moves like this may be technically legal, but they are unethical. They lack honor. Fortunately, this maneuver can be reversed administratively.
