Guns, Protection, and Danger


Every time a gun is involved in a tragedy there is a roar from the left that guns should be banned; but if they were it would solve nothing. Our unique government of laws describe a self limiting government. It allows citizens freedoms that end at someone else's nose. 

OWNING GUNS IS ONE OF THE CHECKS & BALANCES IN OUR GOVERNMENT. 

American citizens have the limited right to protect ourselves with these weapons. The Founding Fathers wanted to assure that the citizens, as a last resort, could protect themselves from an unlawful government. They zssured that right with the 4th Amendment to the Constitution.

At the present time guns can be easily obtained by people who are clearly dangerous to others. To them we must prevent the sale, ownership or possession  of these weapons. 

BACKGROUND CHECKS MUST BE APPLIED. 

In California we keep track of cars, trucks and motorcycles by employing the Department of Motor Vehicles. Why can't we close the non-achieving departments of government and use their assets develop a Department of Weapons operated much like the DMV?  Is it really so difficult to ask that in three years any weapon discovered without proper registration be confiscated, destroyed, and a penalty applied?
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
a.   users licensed
b.   weapons registered
c.   illegal weapons confiscated and destroyed

Great ideas Bump! We can certainly do a much better job with background checks when people apply for gun registrations.

Gloves Off

. OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS BETRAYED OUR TRUST AGAIN. Whether we are Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, makes no difference at all. Our legislators voted according to "what's best for them". It was clear that the people want to reduce the costs and improve access to our overall health care system. It was also VERY CLEAR that they did not want the 2000 page legislative monstrosity that was produced by a small number of far left liberal Democrats, who worked behind closed doors to fashion a pork filled blunderbuss that virtually no one has been able to read, or discuss, or debate, or offer alternatives to specific unreasoned clauses. It is (now) a BAD BILL , passed by BAD POLITICIANS, that compose a BAD MINORITY segment of America's out-of-control government. AND WE HAVE NO LOGICAL WAY TO PAY FOR IT EITHER. The far left liberals like to point at  SOCIAL SECURITY   as a text book success. They are wrong and will not admit it despite the concrete evide

Why Blackwater Mercenaries

Over some years the name Blackwater shows  up in the news. It is, by their own estimation, the largest mercenary group in the world. I think I first noticed it when reports from Iraq mentioned they were employed (by whom?) to escort and protect members of the Iraqi government from place to place. Then I became aware that they had joined several of the firefights between our marines and Iraqi enemies. I wondered just how these mercenaries (that supposedly came from the United States) were  hired by someone (who?) to fight? That led to the question of just who would be responsible if a situation involved the accidental killing of an innocent bystander? It  might be a little sticky for an unauthorised mercenary contracted by the United States but not a member of our military forces.  Or suppose a Blackwater type killed a military Iraqi combatant and was then captured by the enemy. Would he be treated as a spy, or as a American combatant, or whatelse?  And would the Geneva Convention

Sarah-palin-itus

. Am I the only one that watches the liberal roar caused by the soccer mom . . . and laughs?   I suspect Sarah is a nice and decent person who will eventually prove to be a better political critic than elected official. But who knows. She projects an effervescent personality, a better than average intelligence, and solid conservative values. Still,  as a political leader of consequence I suspect she is a female Peter. You do remember THE PETER PRINCIPLE don't you. Dixon
