    Default Background Checks Is The Greatest Threat To Freedoms

    BACKGROUND CHECKS IS DOUBLESPEAK FOR REGISTRATION. REGISTRATION IS THE FINAL STEP BEFORE CONFISCATION.

    XXXXX

    Incidentally, how many movies and TV shows have you seen where a fictional character says his gun is registered, or a cop nails him for having an unregistered gun. The last time I did a background check on the Second Amendment it did not say:

    . . . the right of the people to keep and bear REGISTERED Arms shall not be infringed.

    Background checks has always been a backdoor approach to registration; so it comes as no surprise that Democrats want more BCs.

    As I said many times, the government fears the location of the guns they do not know about. Confiscating guns is a little difficult when the government does not know where the guns live. In truth, media mouths have just as much to fear from law-abiding unknown gun-owners than does the government. Government stooges in the media must know that if Democrat gun-grabbers bring this country to violent revolution media mouths will be the first ones to get shot.

    Never forget that if you own a gun and your name is on a list of any kind the government has that list. As much as I respect the NRA, there is no doubt in my mind the government has the names of everybody on the NRA’s membership roll.

    A substantial number of Americans see no harm in background checks or a national registry. The problem is in convincing EVERY private sector American that they will lose a constitutional Right along with gun owners. Bottom line: Americans who are being conned by Democrats are begging to die victims right alongside those gun-owners the federal government will disarm.

    The sole purpose of background checks is to set up a data bank so the federal government knows the location of every gun. So how come not one media mouth ever suggested that the government must delete all records of every person after they clear a background check? (I am probably being naive. There is no way in hell the government will delete an essential component of confiscation.)

    When you get right down to it, why should Americans believe anything government officials say about background checks when they lie all of the time?

    You can believe the one thing government liars say. The police and the military will obey when they are ordered to confiscate all of the guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans?

    Finally, federal control of the military, and local law enforcement, combined with confiscating millions of “background check” guns has long been a major objective for Democrats. Every shooting followed by more wall-to-wall media coverage might be enough to give Hakeem Jeffries, Mitt Romney and their kind the groundswell they need to legislate the Second Amendment to death without asking the pubic’s permission to abolish the Second Amendment.

    No law is supposed to override the Constitution, yet every one of the more than 40,000 gun control laws on the books supersedes the Second Amendment.

    p.s. If you could make one of two organizations disappear forever which one would you choose?

    1. National Rifle Association.

    2. American Civil Liberties Union.

    The McCloskeys prompted me to remind readers about background checks:


    The St. Louis couple who brandished weapons while staring down Black Lives Matter demonstrators have gotten new weapons to replace their confiscated firearms.

    Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who days ago pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for aiming guns at protesters in June 2020 at the height of the protests after George Floyd's death, have gotten new AR-15-style guns to replace the firearms state authorities will destroy as part of their plea bargains.

    "Checking out my new AR!" Mark McCloskey wrote in a tweet Saturday, along with the hashtags "#2A," in reference to the Second Amendment, and "#MOSen," acknowledging his Senate candidacy.

    In a nutshell, the McCloskeys won a moral victory. Sad to say their plea bargain will become government justification for confiscation.

    NOTE: Everything government parasites do to the Constitution with the fake pandemic they learned from background checks. Basically, the government orders every American to wear masks, while the government tells Americans they cannot own guns. Both diktats enforce a tyrant’s morality:


    We all finally acquiesced. This is how it always works in dystopia: the managers of society negotiate on the extreme measures while allowing the culture to adapt to the minor ones. People eventually go along with the new normal.

    Once you grant it – once you say to powerful people that they can do what they want to your body and rights so long as they have a good excuse – you create a grave moral hazard. It’s a tyrant’s dream. Cite the right reasons and restrictions on the use of power vanish.

    Sure, just like Jewish laser started all the forest fires in Calfornia.

    Just like Italian satellites changed the votes from the voting machines from Dotard to Biden.

    Just like ballots were fed to chickens, then incinerated.

    "If you could make one of two organizations disappear forever which one would you choose"?

    1. National Rifle Association.

    2. American Civil Liberties Union.

    Don't have to pick the NRA is bankrupt.

    January 15 2021
    The National Rifle Association of America, the nation's foremost gun lobby, has filed for bankruptcy, according to court documents filed Friday in the Northern District of Texas.
    The Chapter 11 announcement follows leadership shakeups and allegations of financial mismanagement at the NRA in recent years.
    New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit in August accusing the NRA's senior leadership of violating laws governing nonprofit groups and using millions of dollars from the organization's reserves for personal use and tax fraud.

    So much for those "lifetime" memberships.

    To no worries: You and your kind are in trouble when you make your case with George Soros:

    George Soros spent millions of dollars around the nation to elect state and local prosecutors as part of an on-going campaign to radically transform law enforcement in the United States and weaponize the law to use it against those who won’t go along with the radical-left manifesto. He’s enjoyed success at the county level in Virginia, in Chicago and at the state level in Missouri, New York and California. Jennifer Soros, daughter-in-law of hedge fund manager George Soros was a major donor to James.

    I still have hopes that 91 year old George Soros (1930 - ?) (born György Schwartz in Hungary) will be deported before he bites the dust:


    Conspirators do not come cheap; hence, George Soros is the primary source of income for the open-borders crowd conspiracy. I doubt if Malkin’s book will prompt the Department of Justice to deport Soros back to Hungary; nevertheless, I am putting the possibility at the top of my wish list:

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Poppies make a good point.

    America has always thrived as a perpetual shooting gallery where Constitutionally-validated idiots cap one another's asses routinely.

    Any effort to make adjustments infringes upon our freedom to gleefully shoot one another, which, after all,

    is in the eyes of many,

    the primary obligation that comes with American citizenship.

    I've been an irresponsible citizen.

    I've never shot anybody on THIS continent, at least.

    I own nine firearms. so I have no excuse.

    All I have to do is dig them up from under about six decades worth of old golf clubs,

    plus an infinite number of plastic totes filled with stuff my parents left behind.

    They left me less than thirty years ago, so I haven't had the opportunity to look inside them yet.

    Plus my wife had parents too.

    Oh, also a bunch of my kids' old toys that we saved for grandchildren that never came.

    Anyway, those fucking guns cost a lot of money, and they're all down there someplace.

    What do you think?

    Is it time to start being a respectable American and start shooting?
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775

    if they are 'toys', why do you want to ban them?

    To archives: Asshole. Communists (Democrats) did not make background checks a top priority until recently.

    Confiscation will take place when Democrat scum in government have all of their ducks lined up —— when they are certain they know where at least 90 percent of the guns are located.

    As I said many times, the government fears the location of the guns they do not know about. Confiscating guns is a little difficult when the government does not know where the guns live.
