Is anyone still asking, “What are you afraid of?” No one who is paying attention, that’s for certain.
As the gun control debate raged across this country, several weeks ago TPATH proposed legislation that, in a sense, acquiesced to the growing need for a National Registry for the purpose of firearms purchases.
By law, the sheriff is Chief Law Enforcement Officer of your County and answers only to you, the people who elected him. The sheriff is under no obligation to adhere to any unconstitutional law instituted by the state or federal government. In short, he is the last line of defense against an overreaching government.
Much has been written about the recent Obama Administration scandal that centers on the IRS’ abuse of power. One of the most profound questions asked during the House Ways and Means Committee investigation was by Rep. Kevin Brady (R) of Texas who asked: “Is this still America?”
Once again, for at least the 10th time that we can recall, this forger of documents, this usurper of our Presidency, this master of furtiveness, the one posing as the President of all the people, has propped himself up in front of cameras and recording devices and demonstrated his only real competency, which is his extraordinary skill of creating hate and distrust, anger and fear. Three statements from the “Divider-in-Chief,” just in the past few days, were malicious continuations of what now appears to be a well thought out machination.
Gun control lost badly in the Senate yesterday. Seven gun control measures came to an up-or-down vote. All seven failed. But those votes were close. That, and the rhetoric from de facto President Obama and other gun control proponents, tells us something. It shows again the people are one vote, or one election, away from tyranny.
To Senator Pat Toomey:
First, thank you for posting the proposed “Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act” on your website. Being able to read the entire bill helps in the understanding of its implications. TPATH has spent a great amount of time reading it and reverting back and forth between the many titles and sections of existing law that this legislation would implicate.
It’s no secret, nor is it difficult to find, with just a cursory brush with American history, to what extent the Founding Fathers understood the vital importance of a free press and the right of the people to be informed. The Bill of Rights, consisting of the 10 most important requirements for an enduring, prosperous and free society, listed first, the number one condition, freedom of speech.
As we watch and listen, day after day, week after week as more and more lawmakers, both national and on the state level, write and support new laws infringing on the 2nd Amendment, one question continues to blare out at us. Can all these people really be that stridently stupid?
Next week, the US Senate will take up a federal gun control bill. That bill has little more in it but “universal background checks.” Before today, only the National Rifle Association opposed that measure. But now the American Civil Liberties Union has denounced these new background checks. And whatever made them say it, they have a point.
This past week, once again, the illegal President, oblivious to the damage he might be doing to those parents and siblings who have suffered losses, displayed anew why he and the left are morally bankrupt. By parading the misery and emotional pain of those who lost children in the Sandy Hook massacre, in front of the world, in support of this tyrannical effort to dismantle more of our Constitution, he and they make crystal clear to all, that anyone and everyone are mere pawns, to be used as required, to attain the goal of total control of the citizens. Which brings the focus onto the subject of a Federal Background Check database. As usual, the government has this concept exactly backwards and totally unconstitutional. And most likely, intentionally so.
