Firearms
There is only one gun law in this country and it is the second amendment. All else is bureaucratic nonsense that I choose to comply with or not at my discretion!
Whilst firearms are often used as weapons... It is not the firearm that is dangerous, but the use it is put to by the individual person.
I have always maintained that "no firearm ever killed anyone" they are a tool that can be used for killing (their original purpose), but any damage caused by firearms is due to their use and their user. There is nothing inherently "bad" about firearms in themselves.
A working knowledge and healthy respect of firearms enhances safety, but our political masters prefer to ban some items, and make ownership of any firearm difficult for legitimate users. I believe that this is short sighted and will only lead to more "tragedies" in the future. I realise that I am "a voice in the wilderness" on this issue, but that is because I can see the situation from the standpoint of considerable personal knowledge and experience, which I believe is lacking in those that have made our rules.
The sporting use of firearms has existed since the devices were originally invented. Such sporting use allows the respect that is required, to be generated in the context of sport and competition. By artificially stifling such competition we run the risk of a sub culture developing that is outside the framework of normal law, I feel that this will result in future gun related incidents of similar nature to those that incited the police and politicians to ban the private ownership of handguns.
The John Doe Manifesto
By Michelle Malkin
Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,
You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.
I am John Doe.
I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift.
I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.
I am John Doe.
I will never forget the example of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.
I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean
I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.
I will act when homeland security officials ask me to "report suspicious activity."
I will embrace my local police department's admonition: "If you see something, say something."
I am John Doe.
I will protest your Jew-hating, America bashing "scholars."
I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.
I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.
I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.
I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.
I am John Doe.
I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.
I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.
I will resist the imposition of sharia principles and sharia law in my taxi cab, my restaurant, my community pool, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and all public spaces.
I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.
I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderates' clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about "profiling" or "Islamophobia."
I will put my family's safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.
I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.
I am John Doe.
