Homeland Security finds an enemy. Us.

A Citizen's Righteous  Angst
Stahl background narration:
Fear of Obama has caused a national ammo shortage



Stahl questions president of Virginia gun rights group:   Is the gun lobby whipping up these fears?

Answer: No, the election took care of that.
I watched Sunday's 60 Minutes visit to a Richmond, Va gun show.  At the heart of it all was the failure of Virginia to close the so called "gun show loophole," that allows individuals to buy and sell guns without going through the federal bureaucracy.  Samurai AG TFV just this second sent me to this story, where Our Department of Homeland Security defines this constitutionally legal action as "Rightwing extremism ... rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority,"  in their new Office of Intelligence and Analysis report titled:


Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration. [Michelle Malkin's report

This, Ms. Stahl, is what has those Richmond gun buyers so worried.  The last U.S. President to face an uprising by the populace, Lincoln, was nominally targeted for wanting to end slavery.  Today's mood is fueled by fears that Obama is an enslaver.  And every time he opens his mouth, he adds more fuel to the fire.  Our current federal government is an out of control monstrosity.

They want to suspend the second amendment so the mentally disturbed can't get guns?

I have a better idea. How about we just suspend the fifth and fourteenth amendments? We can just lock up all of the mentally disturbed people. Or all the drunks and drug addicts. That way they can't kill us with dangerous weapons like knives, baseball bats, or cars.

There you go. Problem solved.

Cue the ACLU in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

There are over 80,000,000 gun owners in the USA that own over 300,000,000+ guns. If every gun owner would just join the NRA for ONE year....be a whole new freakin' ball game...and world. NRA Life Member...for Life!

Every time I hear some bleeding heart talk about "our police are outgunned" I look at even the small town police forces that have trained snipers, full auto MP-5s and armored personnel carriers. The increasing militarization of the police promotes this us v. them mentality. Vice Sgt Boone

I heard that if you join one of these right-wing hate groups they make you take a horrible pledge. It goes like this:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
Isn't that scary? I don't understand why these people hate so much.[/sarcasm]

I want the police to be outgunned.

If they have real trouble, they should call up the neighborhood militia.
