New York is planning to pass a law that will make any magazine with more than seven rounds illegal. This will not allow the "grandfathering" of higher capacity magazines. Millions of New Yorkers will become felons overnight! Don't let this happen! Spread the word!
The following email was sent out by Westchester Firearms Owners Association warning of this totalitarian action:
TO: ALL W.C.F.O.A. EMAIL ALERT MEMBERS
SUBJECT: URGENT ALERT - IMMINENT ANTI-GUN ACTION
We have received information that the behind-the-scenes, back-room
activity
in Albany in recent days has culminated in two serious
"concessions" by
Republican State Senators.
Reports indicate that AS SOON AS TUESDAY a bill will come up for a
vote
in the State Senate to ban magazines over 7 rounds in capacity.
That is
ALL magazines, not just rifle magazines.
MORE OMINOUSLY, there is a strong possibility that there WILL NOT
be any "grandfathering" of currently owned magazines of over 7
rounds.
This is a very serious threat.
All gun owners must immediately call and/or email:
State Senator Dean Skelos.
Skelos' office number is 518-455-3171
AND call your own State Senator and demand that they NOT support such
an
extreme, useless, do-nothing action. An action which could turn
thousands
of law-abiding gun owners into felons overnight.
You can get your State Senator's contact information at:

Biden Gun Control Task Force
There are many dismissing the Biden Gun Control Task Force that is currently working on plans to deny Second Amendment rights. Biden, some argue, is a complete fool, so nothing will come of it. The hapless Vice President knows little about anything, repeatedly makes dumb comments, and embarrasses the Democrats at every turn (SaltLakeCityTribune). But Biden serves the purposes of the Left well, and his actions should be carefully watched.
Biden is often called on by the progressives to completely destroy the credibility of and humiliate opponents, with a smile. During the recent Vice Presidential debate, the main focus was on Biden's behavior. As two websites point out, his actions detracted from much of what was said during the debates and stifled any points Paul Ryan tried to make (ABCNews & NOLA.com), while referring to Ryan as "my friend" throughout the entire night. Ryan, a smart man of high moral fiber, was totally shut out of the spotlight that evening. Before that, while a Senator in the 80's, he went after potential presidential appointee William Clark by asking him questions outside of Clark's expertise, saying the whole time he was sorry for doing it and didn't enjoy it (Spectator.org). Biden's inquiry had nothing to do with the reasons for Clark's nomination, they just served to destroy Clark's reputation. In both instances, Biden seemed collected yet passionate, like a good friend defending his side in a high school debate club (and don't doubt me on that! Conservatives may have been furious, but obviously the public at large thought it acceptable. He was re-elected).
So it should be a bother that he now heads a commission that is trying to strong arm groups into supporting the President's ludicrous policies (Breitbart.com & TheBlaze.com). There is no doubt that a man like Joe Biden will defame and attack anyone who tries to disagree or speak out against his party, and his talk of executive orders is a real threat (TheBlaze.com). And what makes it worse is the picture painted of a doddering old fool who stumbles about and forces so many to smile and say, "Well, that's just Joe," when he appears to mess up. Because the general public sees him as a nice man, and opponents underestimate him, Democrats can unleash their attack dog with devastating effect.
The frustration level with Joe Biden is high. He truly is a very stupid man who gets away with so much simply because he is a progressive. Any Republican like him would have been laughed out of Washington decades ago. But being a liberal requires no intelligence, and neither does being a jerk. Those with little or no brains or morals and a willingness to ruin other's reputation, finances, and life in general, find a comfy home in the Left.

Cuomo
Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York State, held a State of the State address today. Within it, he outlined plans to further destroy the Second Amendment in a state that already has some the strictest gun laws in the nation (TheTruthAboutGuns.com). This crucial part of his speech shed a great deal of light on how the Left works.
The left likes to trick people. It makes a bogus claim or claims that build public support. The fake fact or facts also raise the bar from current legislation that already limits some aspect of life. This way it can keep limiting until a complete ban is in place under the guise of public demand for action.
Cuomo used this tactic well today.
Cuomo said he wanted to limit high capacity magazines for guns in New York. In his state though, no magazine can have more than ten rounds, which was not considered high capacity, until today. Here, liberals figure that the general public thinks high capacity is anywhere from thirty to one hundred rounds and doesn't tell them that only ten round magazines are legal. So when they try to cap magazines at five rounds in the future, they raise the bar on what is considered a lot of rounds and hopefully create a public outcry for it. If five becomes the new "low capacity," next time five rounds will be "high capacity," and it will be lowered again or magazines eliminated all together.
This continued in Cuomo's speech as he mentioned a new assault weapons ban too. Although he didn't give specifics (the left never does), it is possible to look at Diane Feinstien's new and old assault weapons ban to exemplify the progressive propaganda. An "assault weapon" to most is a fully automatic machine gun that sprays hundreds of bullets a minute, which is illegal in the United States (unless one goes through the federal government and has tens of thousands of dollars to spend). But, the government's definition is simply the look or number of "features," such as a detachable magazine or pistol grip, of semi-automatic rifles. The old ban was a gun could have two "features" and a "short" list of completely illegal firearms (Wikipedia). The newly proposed ban limits gun "features" to one and outlaws a much longer list of guns (Feinstein.Senate.gov). Here, the new law is more restrictive, using a lack of public knowledge to push it, and future laws will continue this trend till all guns are illegal.
Cuomo also said he wanted to keep guns from getting to the mentally ill. But, again, it uses people's ignorance to make a point that is not valid. Those who have been forcibly committed to any hospital or labelled mentally incompetent they will not pass a background check and will not get a gun. This statement by Cuomo was designed to include even more people. Who will make the determination of "mentally ill?" What will that encompass? Will anyone, even those who were treated temporarily at any point in life, not be able to participate in the Second Amendment? With more and more children being medicated (EducationWorld.com & NCBI.NLM.NIH.gov), that may prevent a large number of the current and future adults from owning a gun (and I can guarantee you that is part of the plan).
The progressives need misinformation and lies to pass off their ideas and policies. Whenever a liberal speaks fact it is important to track down that fact and prove it false. The vast majority of the time it will be a complete lie, greatly twisted, or taken out of context. As I always say, be vigilant when dealing with the left. They are very good at propaganda and filling the minds of Americans with rubbish. The best defense: keep yourself well informed.

Putting A Face To It
One of the most disturbing things about gun-control (which is really anti-liberty or "rights control") is how all of a sudden the law abiding citizen has been labeled as a potential or outright criminal. What is missing are the faces and stories of those who legally own firearms and use them often with no intent to do harm.
Out of all gun crime, a fraction of a percent involves legally owned firearms (NRAILA.org). Yet, listening to the media, it would seem that every shooting crime is committed by someone who legally purchased a gun. And that's just wrong. Using this premise, a newspaper decided to print the names of pistol permit holders (I refuse to reprint the link). They wanted to warn the public about potentially dangerous individuals who live next door. But it must be asked, why is this not done for those who already perpetrated terrible actions, like known sex offenders, felons, or the violent mentally ill? Why are we treating good people like they need to be watched or exposed? What have they done to warrant this invasion of privacy?
Another argument from the the "rights control" movement says that people don't need certain types of guns or guns in general. They claim that military style weapons serve no other purpose than to kill (ConservativeDailyNews.com). The response to this is the reasons vary, from self defense to hunting (LongRangeHunting.com). However, why does a purchase that doesn't break the law need justifying? Why isn't it good enough to just say a law abiding citizen, living a free society, wants something that is guaranteed in the Constitution and legally purchased? The left would answer that guns are different, because they are capable of killing people. Therefore they need to be removed from society. With that rationale hammers need to go too, which are used in more murders than rifles (CBS). And don't forget all cars, because some drivers are irresponsible, operate an automobile drunk, and cause harm or slaughter.
Most importantly though, gun owners aren't thugs. They are neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers who use guns for sport and self-defense, pay a great deal for them, and follow laws and safety standards. With each purchase they submit themselves to background checks and, in some states, an extensive licensing process that meticulously goes through several aspects of private life.
So when a former, eight year veteran of the Marines (God bless our military!) speaks out against Diane Feinstien's assault weapons ban (TheBlaze.com & Inquisitr.com), it puts a face on the pro liberty side. Here is a man who protected this country with his own well being and may soon be told his Second Amendment rights are severely limited. Why? What has he done? Who has he hurt? What law has he broken?
The left loves making the other side look like a faceless, heartless robot or barbarian. They paint themselves as the caring, rational ones. But lets not forget that conservatives, pro-liberty people, firearm owners, and NRA members are people too. Just because they disagree with the left does not mean they are horrid individuals. In fact, most of the time, it makes them better citizens.

Movies
Sometimes the previews are the best part of a movie. It can be fun to see what new films are coming and can provide something to look forward too. But the previews before The Hobbit were just depressing and pure propaganda.
One thing the liberals must do is destroy the human spirit and the natural inclination to survive and strive. It is much easier to control a people defeated mentally and physically. Hence a recent story that claims the Tea Party is down in popularity (Mediaite.com). When a people give up, the government can do what ever it wants.
In steps Hollywood, that is rife with leftists who want nothing more than to create a socialist, communist, nation. They do all they can to promote progressive ideology and make conservatives seem and feel out of date and fringe. Hence, stupid or violent male characters, strong, intelligent female characters, and homosexuals appearing every where joining in great marriages. That's why it just got a huge tax break (DailyDemocrat.com).
So it was no shock when upcoming films show the absolute destruction of humanity and the need to protect the Earth. Two films were post apocalyptic: one where the earth evolved past homosapians and grew into a dangerous environment, and the other showed a destroyed Earth due to an alien invasion. A third one was about the world on the brink of destruction from gigantic, outer space, underwater monsters. Another was a child's story where the good guys were tiny beings that defended the forest from evil creatures that want to destroy it. So, so far that's four films about how the world will be destroyed, and people must do everything to save it. Environmentalism? Agenda 21? You bet!
Even the Star Trek and Superman movie looked sad. There was just such a feeling of dread and hopelessness after the previews. Thank God The Hobbit, written by a devote Catholic, had a positive message. It saved the whole experience.
The left wants to depress the public, and the media is their most powerful tool. Enjoy films, television shows, and music. Just remember the purpose behind it, learn to recognize it, and brace yourself against it.

Misfits Gun Control
On HuluPlus there is a show available called Misfits (Wikipedia). At first glance it seems like a typical anti-hero story, where a bunch of juvenile delinquents stuck in a detention center get super powers. The show is produced in Britain (more on the importance of that later).
The program itself has an interesting premise, as you discover that other people, besides the main characters, have developed superhuman abilities from the same freak storm. So the viewer and main characters are left guessing what persons were affected and what they are capable of. Seems harmless, right?
It doesn't take long before the vulgarities begin, and they are plentiful. Besides the continuous profane language, sexual content, which is on par with a soft-core porno, takes up what seems to be the majority of the show. Eight out of ten scenes viewed were or led to graphic depictions of fornication. It was quite shocking. Especially since it is on HuluPlus and not some adult content website or channel, which it could easily be. But that still is not the most interesting part.
Recently there has been an endless barrage of liberals screaming about how England has gotten it right by banning all guns. They claim violent crime is down, and gun violence is practically nonexistent. Both are pure lies. Gun crime in Britain has skyrocketed, and it continues to rise (FrontPageMag.com). And Misfits, interestingly enough, actually helps show why and supports what gun advocates have been arguing: taking firearms away from lawful citizens does not stop criminals from obtaining them.
In one scene, one delinquent felt he needed protection. He asked another if she could get him a gun, insisting that she knew someone who sold them. She responded that there is no way she would get him a firearm but never denied that she couldn't.
Now most would not think twice about that exchange, or they would say a science fiction television series does not depict real life. But this is not an abnormal show, aside from the extraordinary abilities. The show takes place in modern day Britain, not some fictional area or past or future time, and the language used, situations, responses, and dialog are all typical. Plus, no explanation is needed and no imagination required to understand what you are seeing, again excluding the obvious superhero references. But most importantly, the writers put the "gun scene" in there because it is what people inherently know. Malcontents, lawbreakers, gang members, etc., still use guns, regardless of their illegality. How else would record high gun crime occur in Britain? Model citizens are not going to risk breaking the law and facing things like jail time and fines, about which criminals could not care less. And the average citizen probably has no clue how to get one; criminals have the means and knowledge to procure firearms.
Every now and then the left slips, just a little, and tells us the truth, something they hide and distort constantly. That's why it is so important to harp on it. They know that their ideas do not work and often make things worse, so their flawed ideology must be exposed at every possible moment. For, when challenged, the liberal "truth" always deteriorates, and basic human understanding and common sense prevail.
