"A
think piece."
Here's
what America was like -- back when America was
great.
https://www.gunlaws.com/books21Newest.htm
ETHICS An Early American
Handbook (1890 Reprint!) By Benjamin Comegys 128 p. #ET $7.95
You can live up to these simple, decent standards
-- once you remember what they are!
This spells
out the America you’d like to see our nation get back to!
A marvelous little book, a reproduction of the original
1890 text
which describes how good people behave, from honesty to industry,
duty
to playmates to “treatment of dumb animals.” May sound
lightweight
today, but only if you've been dumbed down: you’ll instantly
recognize
what America (and you?) have lost and need back. Worth every penny.
Great for giving thought to the meaning of this holiday
season.
Here is a superb, exciting look at
America's start,
the lessons every school should teach (though most do
not).
Designed for students—but the perfect
refresher for all freedom activists, and home schoolers too. Relive the
roots of liberty, the men, women, places, documents and meanings of this
great
nation. In clear, straightforward language, you get the uncensored truth
about The American Way, with no political-correctness corruption. A
total delight, as you recall things you may have learned in your youth,
which have been whitewashed (newswashed?) and hidden from Americans by a
corrupt school system that is intent on indoctrinating kids instead of
educating them.
You get "A More Perfect Union" DVD, 2-hr. movie,
brilliantly acted and filmed, a fine full-color wall chart with timelines,
the Constitution facsimile and more, a pocket Constitution with Bill of
Rights and Declaration, and a complete Teacher's Guide -- with
quizzes!
$28.00 if purchased separately -- but only $19.95
for the set -- it's worth it!

"I can't recommend
After You Shoot highly enough!" "Loved it." "Couldn't put it
down." "This book scared me."
Rumors have begun that a class-action suit against
the FBI, BATFE, NICS-system operators and DOJ itself may be in the works,
from people whose civil rights were wrongfully denied by bad firearms
background checks.
Multiple reports have surfaced that at least 25%
of retail-sales denials are completely erroneous. Professor John Lott has
estimated that up to 99% of NICS denials are false positives, and based on
the number of actual criminals apprehended or convictions obtained, NICS
basically just denies rights without much crime-fighting component
evidenced, at enormous cost and delay.
The class
of people whose fundamental constitutional civil rights have been withheld
or outright denied by NICS is likely in the millions. Civil-rights denial
under color of law or otherwise, aside from being detestable, is a felony
under numerous federal statutes.

State Legislative Seasons Getting Under
Way
Most states will be opening their legislative
doors in January. Arizona, ranked #1 five years in a row for best gun laws
in America, by Guns and Ammo magazine, is preparing for an ambitious
agenda, while other states are looking to surpass the Grand Canyon State
with their own approaches to reducing infringements on RKBA. As if reducing
infringement should require hard work, with people who swear to uphold the
constitution! After Constitutional Carry in 2010, one legislator naively
reasoned, you can go home now, what's left for you to do? Plenty. Our grass
roots lobby, (which deserves your support, and get on the list for alerts,
AzCDL.org) will drop bills strategically. My own private list
includes:
911 Limited Immunity Law (to prevent
self-incrimination on 911 calls, preserving the 5th Amendment) Read all
about it: https://www.gunlaws.com/AYS.htm
Definition and Ban on Infringement
of existing and future firearms, and aggravated infringement for
violators
Gun-Free-Zone Liability Act, leaving people
free but liable if they make these reckless, negligent and dangerous
areas.
Protection of Lawful Carriage Act,
prohibiting restrictions on possession of private property
Arizona Tourist Correction Bill,
eliminating potential threat to innocent tourists who go to ranges for
sport
I certainly support the NICS class-action wrongful
rights-denial suit, so call it an even half dozen.
I'll have
these posted, if they're not already, on my Model Laws page soon.
Hey you activists and eager beavers: Free ideas
--
There are no 100% all-beef
burgers Are you awake enough to notice the 100% beef burgers
they scream at you about all night on your TV might not be 20% beef by the
time they put all the other suds in the sandwich? When you grew up,
wasn’t a burger a thick slab of meat with ketchup on a bun? When did
it become a salad sandwich with a meat-flavoring
condiment?
I’ve already commented on being hamburgerized --
getting shown a burger thicker than you can bite but getting something
delivered where the top bun touches the bottom bun. You eagerly take it and
say yum! instead of hummm... I want that burger! Don’t insist
on the one you see in the picture... they’ll have you arrested for
causing a disturbance.

Politics is a
circle not a line The political ideology of freedom is more
properly plotted on a circle, instead of a straight line. Freedom is at the
base and totalitarianism at the apex. Then, as you move left toward
socialism/communism or right toward fascism/statism, you move increasingly
away from freedom in either direction, and you arrive at the same point,
complete commie or nazi-like total control, dictatorial power by an elite
over the public, at the top. The names are different, the economic controls
differ, but the philosophy of freedom is about equal, you move from plenty,
to some, to none.
Now Available! "My
best book," just not my best seller. [Alan.]
I put more of myself, my wit, my insight, my
heart into this book, it just doesn't have the demand my gun-law books
do. Everyone who gets and reads it tells me how glad they are they
did.

Yeah, pro
football has lost it I loved watching the "dance" of the
game -- the incredibly well-executed athleticism and strategic maneuvering
for one group of fantastically buff players to get past another batch. When
they started in with their anti-American antics and dissing us white folk,
dragging our flag and honor through the mud, my interest waned. Craig
Cantoni asked them to write out their grievances eloquently, like an essay
test, poignantly pointing out they lacked the candlepower to do so. They
were showing herd mentality, grousing against an enemy who existed only in
the minds of people who might think Che is a hero and not a mass murderer.
Do Che bag.
The final straw hit here, during a show, a
sort of mea culpa for their bad behavior, after a kneel down:
They
gloated, on
national TV, about a $50K donation to
charity that helps convicts get back into society, including the spoke's
guy's black felon brother, provided not even by the overpriced player, by
pro football. $50K to a $1B enterprise is like me giving a dollar and
saying look how good I am. I'm done, NFL.
I
saw the huge list of fines you levied for all sorts of performance
infractions, and you let this atrocity go on unabated. Your shame is
monumental.
Felony
Creep One way to disarm the public is to increase the number
of felonies you can commit. Commit a felony, lose your rights -- forever.
HR 38 increases efficiency for getting you in the database. Arizona just
learned from the official report for 2017 it now has 513 felonies on the
books -- and with the new session starting on January 8, 2018, we can
expect legislators to introduce new ones. What's in your state's
wallet?
Our gun rights and American exceptionalism are
grounded in religious principles. All the messages you get daily to the
contrary are basically lies, distortion and revisionism, and this book
proves it. Our Founding Fathers said so in no uncertain terms, this
inexpensive little item makes it crystal clear. David Barton has done it
again -- wall-to-wall quotes and excerpts destroy secular myths about
church and state -- the author makes the case, by quoting the Founders,
that faith in God is crucial to moral and just life, liberty and
happiness.
The Catholic Church recognizes patron saints over
many
human activities. Why not a patron saint of
handgunners,
asks this devoutly religious and long-time gun-rights
lobbyist.
A stunning conception, beautifully supported.
His candidate is St. Gabriel Possenti, who rescued
villagers
in Italy from a marauding band of thugs in 1860, by
picking
off a lizard with a single shot, terrifying the gang
and
causing them to flee. Possenti was canonized in Rome
in
1920 by Pope Benedict XV, and author Snyder says it
would
be appropriate to make him a patron saint. Includes a
remarkably
clear description of the church process for such
activities,
so church members can pursue this goal.

Someone would have to strengthen Indians'
immune systems
The lamestream
media told you: The lamestream media told

Columbus was a white conqueror whose statue
should be torn down, he brought pestilence to the indigenous peoples of
North America and led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Anyone who
reveres him is a racist hate monger.
The
Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes
however that:
Left-wing radical loonies have
abandoned their love of evolution, natural selection, Charles Darwin and
survival of the fittest. In a mad mindless rush, seeking to denigrate
anything that represents the glory and achievement of white male Western
culture that is the pinnacle of civilization on Earth, they are basking in
the throes of an orgy of self-hatred, with the help of a sick mass media.
They all need treatment. They are all in denial.
Of
course the natives died -- they were scheduled to die -- they would
have died off as soon as anyone arrived from the rest of the world,
because the natives had no immune defense against the germs that thrived
elsewhere. That’s how the human race gets stronger. It’s got a
name -- Darwinian survival of the fittest. It's natural
selection.
The good strong resistant natives survived,
and passed on their genes.
That’s precisely how
it’s supposed to work. Previously, left-wing peoples reveled in this
sort of thing. They have so lost touch, all stemming back to their
wonderful loss in the 2016 election, they can hardly think straight about
anything any longer. Tear down the statute of Columbus in Columbus Circle?
Do you really want to mess with New York City’s Italians? Now
that really is
crazy.

Take time to kick back and absorb some freedom
perspective.
Widely considered one of the finest libertarian novels
ever written.
The U.S. Government is broke and unraveling, America’s enemies are
gloating, money is worthless, markets collapse, businesses fail, a
massive shift in economics is reshaping the nation. Black marketeers use
computer encryption to operate bold enterprises that even totalitarian
controls can’t stop. A private mercenary army headed by a former
Green
Beret battles an FBI run by a ruthless dictator who’s blackmailing
the
president and running secret prisons.
Caught in the middle is the brilliant teenage
son of a
Nobel-prize winning economist and the mysterious girl (who carries a
pistol with a silencer!) he meets in a secret underground city. A
Prometheus winner Hall-Of-Fame novel with high adventure, narrow escapes,
thrilling rescues, and a model for throwing off the chains of oppression
and restoring freedom. Reignites a sense of true liberty that has been
dulled by the incremental infringements we endure daily.
Uplifting.
HR 38 (Carry) now includes
HR 4477 (Fix NICS) and SURPRISES
Federal gun-free school-zones removal among
others
Part 1:
HEADLINES
by Alan
Korwin, Author Gun Laws of America https://www.gunlaws.com/gloa.htm
The Uninvited Ombudsman
Report https://www.gunlaws.com/PageNineIndex.htm
The House passed HR 38,
National Carry on Dec. 7 (1,246 words). It’s good but with
problems, described below.
(HR
4477, Fix NICS, was nailed on at the last minute, covered separately,
below.)
The Senate's carry-bill version (S 446) is
vastly different, it sits idle since Jan. 2017. Reporters act like
they’re the same, just needs a vote, false (only 658
words).
The bills seem to say -- if you can carry concealed in
your home state with a permit, or if you don’t need a permit to do so
in your state -- you can carry concealed nationwide. But not
quite.
The House bill makes LOCAL PRIVATE “gun-free
zones” official federally.
The House bill makes LOCAL STATE
“gun-free zones” official federally.
Depending on what
those two bans include, where you can carry could be pretty small. Are
local roads or rights-of-way “government property” and hence
subject to bans?
A state like New York, already on record ready to
obstruct the law, could conceivably ban guns on its roads,
“government property,” and foul up the entire
plan.
Your state can remove itself, you and the nation from the
plan by repealing its permit law.
When the bills get combined (IF
the Senate votes) we’ll get something brand new.
Both
parties will argue during conference committee, change things, that’s
standard. Some changes are seriously needed, discussed
below.
Handguns are redefined, so possession of an empty magazine
is possession of a handgun (you read that right).
Possession of
ammo for a handgun is also possession of a handgun. Both definitions
(magazines, ammo) MUST be fixed.
A loaded ten-round magazine under
the House bill would be 11 handguns.
Those parts are bound to be
rewritten in committee, or we have trouble. What idiots write these
things? I drafted corrective language
below.
18
USC §926D(b)(1) and (2) (gun-free zones) should be
deleted.
Some really good things are included in the
House bill: Bogus gun arrests will get authorities sued, and they pay,
with penalties.
The
Clinton-era gun-free-school-zones farce is eliminated for
carrying. This has not been mentioned in “news,” is bound
to be a hot issue.
If I
were skeptical I might wonder, if by keeping quiet
about
eliminating the federal
gun-free-zones ban,
the creation of countless local gun-free
school-zone bans
might not get
noticed.
National land assets are unequivocally open to
civil rights -- bearing arms.
Much more -- federal judges allow
themselves to carry nationwide without training, permits or anything
(leftists are silent about that), bump stocks are defined, the NICS system
is evaluated for “results” which don’t include crime
control (probably just names added to the list, fast), Indians get swept
into the system, it’s all explained below.
The most trusted
name in news, and the fair and balanced news, carried almost none of this.
That’s covered as well.
When I get tired of watching the news, I just
turn on CNN.

3- National Carry Part II What the "news" media has been
saying
Inventions, lies, some
plain stupidity,
astounding
Based on my own media observations and notes,
basically, every deceptive complaint the public endured from anti-rights
people and so-called “news” media about CCW permit laws as they
passed in all 50 states we’re hearing repeated for the national carry
bill, HR 38. Astounding.
We have the BITS myth (Blood In The
Streets) repeated, which never occurred when permits were issued. No
apologies or corrections for the false 50-story set were ever issued, the
mythology continues. https://www.gunlaws.com/GunMyths-1.htm
We
were “informed” horrible criminals will suddenly start carrying
firearms and shooting indiscriminately (the permits had no impact on armed
criminality).
Good people traveling armed will suddenly turn bad,
shoot slow waiters and people at stop lights (pure paranoia, never
happened), but it is appearing in print, broadcast and online again.
Psychologists have suggested it is projection, leftists projecting their
own lack of stability, balance and control into the
situations.
Studies are circulating how people with permits are an
order of magnitude more law-abiding than the general population and even
than the police, now thoroughly documented (and ignored by the media and
bigots, who cling to their lies and innuendo).
The anti-gunners
are complaining, irrationally, that criminal laws will cease to exist or
stop operating, allowing criminals to carry, but that is simply silly. Any
malfeasance committed with or without a firearm after national carry is
enacted remains totally illegal and subject to punishment as it always has
been. It doesn’t change based on this bill.
Legal carry will
somehow make it harder for authorities to arrest armed criminals, but how
or why is not explained, because it can’t be. In fact, police
authority to stop you on “reasonable suspicion” is reiterated
for good measure. The parade of horribles pouring out of the anti-rights
movement over HR 38 is predictably either paranoid or irrational. Decades
of positive CCW permit experience fails to hold sway, illustrating the
irrational nature of the objections.
What does change, omitted in
reports, is that people who travel legally within their states and exercise
their constitutional rights will be free to travel outside their states
with the same legal protection, free from illegal arrest for possession of
their private property.
Bigoted or corrupt law-enforcement
officers, who swear and then break their oath to uphold the Constitution,
can no longer turn law-abiding people into revenue streams, and single them
out for peacefully bearing arms. At least in theory.
Some states
have already insisted they will disobey the law. For example, “We
will fight any federal action that lets visitors bring guns to our
streets,” according to NYC police commissioner James O’Neill
and Cyrus Vance, Manhattan D.A., in a self-righteous and self-contradictory
guest editorial The Wall Street Journal gave them on 3/23/17. They
complained that if the bill passes, “a person could be armed in
public without ever having a background check.”
Surely they
know -- they’ve described every criminal roaming their streets right
now! Maybe they don’t know? Can they truly believe this law will
invent that? The only change, Messrs. O’Neill and Vance, is that
you’ll no longer be able to arrest an armed person who can
pass a background check -- whether they’ve had one or not! Mere
possession of property will no longer be a crime under a boot, Jack. And
anyone who tries try it, even without the smug anti-civil-rights attitude
flaunted in the Journal, will be subject to penalties (see
below).
Falsely harassing a person, or arresting someone for
legally peacefully bearing arms -- that would become an offense, and the
agency committing this violation will be subject to lawsuits and penalties,
lawyer bills paid by the agency when it loses. This is good.
The
corrupt agencies don’t like this change. They want to continue making
false unconstitutional arrests, and demands for your papers, which they
refuse to recognize in the first place. That would end.
The police
chief and D.A. gripe in their editorial that the burden is entirely on the
state to prove your permit is valid. What can you say but tough noogies. Do
your jobs. Innocent until proven guilty. It’s a poignant condemnation
of their terrible tactics and attitude --
self-imposed.
Women don't fight like men -- no
bragging
or machismo, it's about getting away from
danger, whatever it takes, and fierce
defense of kids and family. The editor of Concealed Carry

4- National Carry Part III
The
Details
H.R. 38 --
ACTUAL BREAKDOWN OF THE BILL You got none of this from either
side I had no idea until I studied the
bill.
EXACT TITLE: H.R. 38
“Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017” (Rep. Hudson,
Richard R-NC 8th District)
Introduced Jan 3, 2017, assigned to
committee Jan. 12, 2017, passed in the House Dec. 7, 2017 with changes,
additions, and a second bill H.R. 4477, Fix NICS, attached.
The
Gist: If you can legally have a firearm, and you’re carrying
valid government-issued photo ID, and you have a valid concealed-carry
license, or you are simply entitled to carry concealed in your state
(“Constitutional Carry,” a term coined in Arizona in 2010, an
interesting story), you can have or carry a concealed handgun in any state
that either makes a carry license available to its residents, or
doesn’t prohibit concealed carry for lawful purpose. That now
includes all 50 states. The bill language uses multiple terms (e.g.,
possessing, transporting, shipping or receiving; license or permit, etc.)
for precision, replaced here with single terms (e.g.,
“carrying”) to get points across clearly. The bill itself in
current form is ten pages long: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/38/all-info
The
statute doesn’t say it in so many words, but this is full
recognition of Constitutional Carry -- no government interference with
the right to bear arms -- for people from states that have reached
permitless Freedom To Carry (FTC; see also, Diplomatic Carry, the next step
up: https://www.gunlaws.com/DiplomaticCarry.htm).
America has 11 FTC states so far, with 22 actively working on it: https://www.gunlaws.com/ConstitutionalCarryIndex.htm.
The
new law does this by referring to a person who, “is entitled to carry
a concealed firearm in the State in which the person resides.”
That’s everyone in FTC states. But watch this word entitled with
care, it is a cornerstone of liberty or a brick in the wall against
it.
Dangerous
so-called “gun-free zones” get federal
approval.
The law specifically recognizes
state laws that allow private persons to create so-called (undefined)
“gun-free zones.” The same goes for state or local governments
to create make-believe “gun-free zones,” typically by posting
signs, or designating punishment.
The direct result is that what
you might think is Freedom to Carry under this National Reciprocity Act
excludes “official” gun-free zones. Where you can carry
might be pretty small. The federal government is authorizing, “We
don’t want your kind here,” in a massive civil-rights denial
plan, delegated to localities. The public, and the states, are being
empowered to ban legal exercise of your civil and human rights. The media
and ALL legislators failed to note this detail.
Warning! The unenforceable
Clinton-era school-zones gun ban is essentially repealed under HR 38. Also
under this bill, every locality in America could enact its own gun-free
school-zones patchwork, like a preemption-free trap for everyone, if
the school is on government or private property. That's pretty much all
property. Am I the only one who noticed this, or did the Bloombergites
figure this out and sneak it in there? I can’t see anything that
would prevent
it. [cont'd.]

BY FORCE OF
PATRIOTS By Cameron Reddy 520 pgs. #BFO $17.95
How about a nice shoot 'em up where our
side wins... In a world flipped upside down by
liberals and political correctness, all three branches of federal
government assert unknown levels of coercive power until fed up
Americans rise up to take back their country. More than a tale of
oppression and rebellion, it examines how America strayed from its
roots, with intriguing, colorful characters who grapple with the social,
political and legal issues at the heart of America’s difficulties.
Raw,
provocative, not for the faint of heart.
:::-—-:::
5- H.R. 38 The Details,
cont'd.
Loads of
components no one has
mentioned
Qualified Freedom from
Arrest
The statute provides that, if
you are carrying and in compliance, you “may not be arrested or
detained” for anything related to the firearm. Some dangerous wiggle
room would be eliminated if that said “shall not” instead of
“may not.” It’s a small point. You do remain subject to
arrest while carrying if, “there is probable cause to believe that
the person is doing so in a manner not provided for by this section.”
That’s a bigger point. It’s not clear what this might
encompass, though it seems to say you must be in compliance to be
protected. Proper ID is “facially valid” and “prima facie
evidence” you are correctly licensed under the law. The protection
does not seem to extend to any other violations or offenses (jaywalking
while armed?).
They pay your legal bills To
discourage state and local governments from acting against you, first, the
prosecution has the explicit burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt,
the highest standard, that you were out of compliance. Next, if you use
this law as a defense and the government loses, they must pay your legal
bills, a big deterrent to false charges.
You can
sue For extra measure, the statute includes a guarantee similar to
42 USC §1983, a right to a private lawsuit against the state,
including damages, other relief and legal bills. If you are deprived of any
“right, privilege or immunity” secured by this law, using any
“statute, ordinance, regulation, custom or usage” of any state,
you can sue. This seems to set up a conflict with authorized no-guns signs
in section (b)(2): No-gun-zones can be set up, yet you can sue if your
rights are denied. The right to sue is only against the government, private
zones in section (b)(1) are not mentioned.
Handguns redefined
A new definition of handgun is introduced, only
for the purpose of this statute. Redefining terms is always a cause for
concern, unexpected results frequently lurk, and this one has several dark
corners. Nothing prevents authorities from taking definitions from one
place once enacted and using them in other places, “as matters of
settled law.”
The statute says: ‘‘The term
‘handgun’ includes any magazine for use in a handgun and any
ammunition loaded into the handgun or its magazine.” It seems the
bill seeks to protect a traveler in an unfriendly jurisdiction, who might
be cited just for the magazines or ammo, because in some states, magazines
matter, as can ammo type. The gun includes its ammo, but this doesn’t
quite say that.
If this passes, a magazine is now a handgun.
Possession of a handgun introduces all sorts of complexity, that now starts
applying to empty or loaded magazines, complexity skyrockets, rights
shrink. The bill says “any magazine for use in a handgun” so
any magazine is affected.
Ammo Redefined Regarding ammo,
only ammo loaded into “the handgun” is a handgun for the
purpose of this law (loose ammo remains plain old ammo). The implication is
ammo loaded into the gun the person carries. And next, ammo loaded into
magazines for that handgun, though not necessarily in it, are handguns. If
you have a loaded or empty magazine you have a handgun. If you then acquire
a matching pistol, do you have two handguns? Is a six-shooter seven guns?
Those are the easy problems. Walking past a school zone with an empty
magazine would almost violate state versions of the next law.
The Clinton-era imaginary
gun-free-school-zone is quashed A person who carries a firearm
discreetly under the terms of this statute -- with a state permit or in a
state that doesn’t require one -- is not subject to 18 USC
§922q, the gun-free-school-zone law. Open carry is not included. The
possible combinations leave unresolved questions. For example, is a person
with a carry permit from a state without Constitutional Carry, who goes to
a Con-Car state, immune to the gun-free-school-zones, or does the bill fail
to protect a permittee outside their state of origin? Other conditions
exist, no need to think it further, since the language will likely change
in conference.
National land assets are open to armed
citizens A person carrying under the terms of this statute may do
so in any public areas of the National Parks, a National Wildlife Refuge,
public Bureau of Land Management lands, Army Corps of Engineers land, and
Bureau of Reclamation land.
Just added, federal officials protect
themselves They frequently do this, include themselves as a special
category instead of being under the same law we are. Without notice or
discussion, qualified off-duty and retired law-enforcement officers (QLEOs)
rewrite the existing laws to include themselves with special carry
privileges, including discharge in school zones (Section 103).
"Dangerously" armed judges
In Section 104, federal judges, with no concern
for permits, checks, training, ability or anything, as long as
they’re not prohibitees, without showing proof, can carry sidearms
concealed nationally. These are the very conditions every anti-gun-rights
activist is screaming about, for which judges have now given themselves a
pass. [cont'd.]

YOU AND THE
POLICE YOU
AND THE POLICE
by Boston T. Party. $16
A very important book -- what to do if you're stopped by
the police for any reason.
Packed with ideas on how
to handle a stop, and reviews the rights you do and do
not have. What do you say and do if a cop wants to search your car?
Do you have to tell if you have a gun? Must you show ID if you're not under
arrest? What should you
do if you are arrested? How can you talk your way
out of
a ticket? What are the limits on warrantless
searches? You
may know about guns
and self defense, but you're not ready without this
information.

6- Fix NICS (formerly H.R.
4477)
National Carry (HR 38) now includes "Fix
NICS"
It doesn't
really fix anything, if "fix" means reduce
crime.
Maybe just, "the fix is in" since it guarantees
an increase in infringements.
H.R. 38, TITLE II -- Fix NICS Act*
Added
to the bill, page after page establishes conditions that must be met by
federal agencies and authorities, to pour names into the NICS system, so
agencies can avoid punishment. The rapid growth of NICS becomes another
holy grail of the gun-ban movement, an ongoing infringement steamroller
with no stop in sight.
Departments and entire agencies will be
rated and scored based on how many records they add, why they did or did
not add more records, written progress reports must be submitted by
category of denials, including some new undefined ones. Efforts to monitor
compliance and correct reporting failures are included. The AG must
establish plans to “ensure maximum coordination and automated
reporting,” with benchmarks. Meeting the goals will consume vast
resources and become more important than fighting crime or defending rights
and due process.
Punishment
Literally using humiliation
as a tool to achieve cooperation, the AG is required to publish the names
of agencies that are out of compliance, fail to report adequately,
don’t meet goals, have reporting failures or inaccuracies, list their
compliance costs and needs assessments, estimate compliance dates and more.
Agencies will be hard pressed to comply, fudge reports or be ridiculed with
multiple web postings by name and reports to congressional committees for
multiple types of failures. Reasons for the failures with breakouts by
department are included. I haven’t seen this tactic in any other
federal gun law, and it’s applied against government, but its
goal is to increase control over you.
Penalties include no
eligibility for bonus pay for political appointees (staff gets paid).
It’s not clear if they get the money as back pay after they get back
in line, a common and detestable practice that eviscerates the whole idea
of penalty. It should be made explicit. Agencies also lose their priority
for certain grant money. Vast sums remain available to help them get into
compliance.
* THIS IS IMPORTANT. Every two years the AG
must assess whether Fix NICS has “resulted in improvements in the
system established under this section.” Improvements measured how?
It’s not defined.
Based on history, government will rate
“improvement” by the speed and growth of the NICS database,
number of people denied firearm sales regardless of legitimacy (like now,
99% false positives), increased reasons for denial and similar. TRUE
improvement would be decreases in crime, proven disarmament of criminals,
arrests of hardened criminals attempting retail purchases, limited false
denials, establishment of due process for denials and similar. The system
is not set up to do this. It would typically fail by such measurement.
There is no desire, funding or inclination to make NICS do these highly
desirable things (fight crime). Real improvement, measured this way is not
in the game plan. Improvement should be defined as reducing crime and
included.
Dangerous new
undefined term introduced
Domestic violence “records”
A new
record collection, funded for and included in the agency humiliation and
punishment guidelines, is “domestic violence records.” This is
not “misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence” or anything
similar, which creates a statutory ban on gun ownership (problematic on its
own). Funding is provided to improve efforts to identify and upload such
records. The records go to NARIP, the NICS Act Record Improvement Program.
Look it up, let me know what it is, and see if it means these undefined
files go directly to NICS or not.
Nearly three pages of
mind-numbing cross-referenced spending and meddling with existing laws have
not been checked by me. Who knows what that might include, such as
“increased efforts to pre-validate the contents of those records to
expedite eligibility determinations” and “measures and
resources necessary to establish and achieve compliance with an
implementation plan under section 107 of the NICS Improvement Amendments
Act of 2007...” Or this one: “(A) by striking “the Crime
Identification Technology Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 14601)” and
inserting “section 102 of the Crime Identification Technology Act of
1998 (34 U.S.C. 40301)” Three pages worth. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/38/all-info
A shortened version of the Fix NICS bill is attached
as Section 205, under the misleading title “Improving information
sharing with the States,” to add Indian tribal governments. It
basically sweeps in Indians, under similar conditions described above. An
effort to add as many people as possible to the NICS Index is the primary
goal of the section. A required assessment to determine if this has
“resulted in improvements,” without defining that, is
included.
SEC. 205 also requires the NICS system to notify local
law enforcement when NICS issues a denial, regardless of the validity of
the denial. We know 25% are completely bogus (FBI stats), or false
positives, or at least insufficient to bring charges or obtain convictions
for anything. Local cops are not required to act -- lack of federal
authority to require that is well established -- but it does tend to set a
potential liability if local police get advised of some miscreant and
don’t do anything about it. An avalanche of NICS rejects will flood
local police and encumber their real work.
Bump
stocks
Finally, SEC. 206 requires the AG to issue a report in
180 days on “bump stocks” used in crime, how often
they’ve been used in crime, and attempts to define them. The last
section, 207, assigns tens of millions of dollars and renumbers things,
again, without careful oversight by me, knowing these things will change,
and hey, I have only so much tolerance for this. Did you even read this
far?
--
My Page Nine story on this -- National
Carry -- nearly a month before this bill was even introduced in Jan. 2017,
challenged the permission-slip approaches and outlined the very core of
this attempt at good law. No federal permit, repeal restrictions, recognize
Freedom To Carry states as well as permission-slip states, no taxes called
fees, provide punishment for officials who disobey. Have a look: https://www.gunlaws.com/Page9Folder100up/PageNine-162.htm I can't
say they acted because of that, but it sure is nice to see it all
here!

8- Voter Fraud Is
Rampant
Democrats say no, but wait, yes!, but
no...
The lamestream media told you: The
lamestream media told you:
Bolstered by news reports,
democrats continue to insist there is no credible evidence that vote fraud
exists. They vehemently deny they are getting illegal immigrants to
register, driving them to the polls, harvesting their ballots, or anything.
Our election system is squeaky clean, despite bizarre unreliable frankly
crazy republican claims to the contrary. Russia is not part of this
narrative. That's a different narrative.
The
Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes
however that:
Democrat’s claims of a clean
election system doesn’t even pass the sniff test, as democrats
continue to insist Russia meddled with our presidential elections, despite
the lack of any evidence to the contrary. That obvious self-evident
conflict has raised few eyebrows among lamestream media. This hardly
matters.
Judicial
Watch, an 800-pound gorilla in government accountability, has filed a
lawsuit in Montgomery County, Md., seeking access to the county’s
voter-registration rolls, under the National Voter Registration Act of
1993. The act specifically allows this action, but in stonewalling,
Maryland claims, incorrectly, you need to be a Maryland resident to file
the lawsuit.
The reason for the suit -- sit down for this --
Montgomery County has more registered voters than citizens over the age
of 18. That’s the very definition of voter fraud.
Similar actions may be planned for other states whose voter
registrations exceed the number of adults over 18 in the state. Judicial
Watch sent them letters too -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Tennessee.

the needy" consider helping those who defend freedom, like these guys, and

of all, in his books, where he can spend the time needed to carefully

_______________________________ COMMENTS HELP KEEP ME
GOING
Hey Alan Just a note to encourage you to
keep it up. I can’t believe the comments you received on
“Crystal Night.” I really think they didn’t read the
article. Anyway, keep going. and be careful out there, Leo S. [I had the
same thought -- they saw the leftwing billboard, thought it was mine, end
of thinking.]

This is another excellent
issue, as they all are. Keep up the excellent reporting, and Merry
Christmas to you and yours! Don B.
P.S. You asked about landlines
Alan? Mine is all but useless. Mostly the only calls I receive are
about 5 spammer robocalls per day. I've been on the Do Not Call list for 15
years. The phone spammers don't care. I've contacted the FCC about the
problem repeatedly, and they just tell me they can't do anything about it.
Apparently they don't care either (and I SERIOUSLY doubt their lack of
ability). After having the same landline phone number for the last 35
years, in 2 weeks I am permanently cancelling my landline phone number and
switching to cellular only.

What happened to the note that was posted at the end of your
articles
about “reading this in English” …I always read that. It
seemed very appropriate
for our times… The Liberals , will never seek the truth. They make
too much money doing what
they are doing… Then condemning America for being so corrupt and
unfair. All
the while, going to the bank.
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you're reading this in English, thank a
soldier.

Do your
