One court says "If your like your AR15 you can keep it" and the other court says "If your like your AR15 you can't keep it".

Judge Covello's PDF Decision To Uphold State Of Connecticut Ban On Americans To Purchase And Own An AR15 Rifle Or Any Gun That Has A Clip
.........
"Building on previous legislation, 11 the definitional scope for an assault weapon has been expanded, including additional semiautomatic firearms. However,
the legislation does not prohibit bolt action rifles or revolvers, or most shotguns, all of which, subject to regulation, remain authorized. Further, much
of the legislation is not the subject of this litigation."
.........

Exceptions

"The legislation, however, is not an outright ban with respect to the enumerated firearms because many of its provisions contain numerous exceptions.
For example, a person is exempt if they “lawfully possesse[d] an assault weapon” before April 4, 2013, the effective date of the legislation, and
“appl[ied] by January 1, 2014 to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection for a certificate of possession with respect to such assault weapon.”

9th Circuit Court Ruling: The Second Amendment Protects the Right to Carry a Gun
..........
9th Circuit: The Second Amendment Protects the Right to Carry a Gun
By Charles C. W. Cooke
February 13, 2014 2:22 PM
..........
The Second Amendment secures the right not only to “keep” arms but also to “bear” them—the verb whose original meaning is key in this case. Saving us the trouble of pulling the eighteenth-century dictionaries ourselves, the Court already has supplied the word’s plain meaning: “At the time of the founding, as now, to ‘bear’ meant to ‘carry.’” Heller, 554 U.S. at 584.3 Yet, not “carry” in the ordinary sense of “convey[ing] or transport[ing]” an object, as one might carry groceries to the check-out counter or garments to the laundromat, but “carry for a particular purpose—confrontation.”

In other words, one has the right to carry a gun. The state can elect to recognize this by permitting either “shall-issue” concealed-carry or “shall-issue” open carry, but it cannot restrict or prohibit both.
..........
..........
(The 9th Circuit Court also made a decision that is amazing considering this court is a FRINGE court. US citizens have the right under the US Constitution to KEEP and BEAR arms. People in Connecticut have the right to keep and bear so called assault rifles and pistols including high capacity clips. One court says "If your like your AR15 you can keep it" and the other court says "If your like your AR15 you can't keep it".

I would advise everyone everywhere to get an AR15 and keep it because you have the right to do so NO MATTER WHAT ANY COURT TELLS YOU!) Story Reports

Democrats want to keep African Americans ‘unarmed, uneducated and dependent

Star Parker, founder of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, actor Joseph Phillips, and writer and activist Kira Ayn Davis all discussed the impact of gun control legislation on the African American community.

From the very beginning, the three panelists all focused on how gun control has been used as a tool to keep the African American community out of power.

“The Democrats have never changed their strategy. They want people unarmed, uneducated and dependent on whoever that master is. Whether it’s the master that time in slavery or the master that keeps them enslaved to the welfare state,” Star Parker told Glenn.

Parker explained that gun legislation was a way to keep free slaves from gaining any kind of power. She said that African Americans are being told to continually vote for politicians that want to keep them unarmed, uneducated, and dependent on the government.

Parker said African Americans need to understand the truth behind the history of the parties and how Democrats have tried to keep the black community out of power. She also said they needed to recognize that the Second Amendment is a right and they should be active participants in it.

IBM and the Holocaust is the stunning story of IBM' s strategic alliance with Nazi Germany

IBM and the Holocaust is the stunning story of IBM's strategic alliance with Nazi Germany.

IBM and the Holocaust is the stunning story of IBM's strategic alliance with Nazi Germany - beginning in 1933 in the first weeks that Hitler came to power
and continuing well into World War II. As the Third Reich embarked upon its plan of conquest and genocide, IBM and its subsidiaries helped create enabling
technologies, step-by-step, from the identification and cataloging programs of the 1930s to the selections of the 1940s. Only after Jews were identified - a
massive and complex task that Hitler wanted done immediately - could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, enslaved
Iabor, and, ultimately, annihilation. It was a cross-tabulation and organizational challenge so monumental, it called for a computer. Of course, in the 1930s
no computer existed.

But IBM's Hollerith punch card technology did exist. Aided by the company's custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith svstems, Hitler was able to
automate his persecution of the Jews. Historians have always been amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis were able to identify and locate
European Jewry. Until now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assem-bled. The fact is, IBM technology was used to organize nearly everything
in Germany and then Nazi Europe, from the identification of the Jews in censuses, registrations, and ancestral tracing programs to the running of railroads
and organiz-ing of concentration camp slave labor.

IBM and its German subsidiary custom-designed complex solutions, one by one, anticipating the Reich's needs. They did not merely sell the machines and walk away. Instead, IBM leased these machines for high fees and became the sole source of the billions of punch cards Hitler needed.

IBM and the Holocaust takes you through the careful ly crafted corporate collusion with the Third Reich, as well as the structured deniability of oral
agreements, undated letters, and the Geneva interme diaries—all undertaken as the newspapers blazed with accounts ot persecution and destruction.
Just as compelling is the human drama of one of our century's greatest minds, IBM founder Thomas Watson, who cooperated with the Nazis for the sake of profit.

Only with IBM's technologic assistance was Hitler able to achieve the staggering numbers of the Holocaust. Edwin Black has now uncovered one of the last great mysteries of Germany's war against the Jews - how did Hitler get the names?

"My parents are Holocaust survivors, uprooted from their homes in Poland. My mother escaped from a boxcar en route to Treblinka, was shot,
and then buried in a shallow mass grave. My father had already run away from a guarded line of Jews and discovered her leg protruding from the
snow. By moonlight and by courage, these two escape es survived against the cold, the hunger, and the Reich."

(Hitler had two kinds of shock troops or blitzkrieg troops. There were hitler's intellectual shock troops and the blitskrieg troops. The intellectual shock troops worked with IBM to tabulate people, equipment and everything else.

The reason hitler was so successful using the blitzkrieg storm troopers was IBM, its machines and punch cards. The nazis used the IBM computer technology of the day to move their shock troops. The nazis used computer technology in the form of punch cards to murder the jews.

The reason german troops were so efficient was IBM. They wanted the world to think it was because they were superior in organizing a killing machine.

IBM was the real killing machine the nazis used to murder millions.)

Former McGruff the Crime Dog actor, John R. Morales, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison following his guilty plea three years after police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher, and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

The man who played the famous “Take a bit out of crime” dog was arrested in 2011 after Galveston police and drug-sniffing dogs pulled over the McGruff actor for speeding, the Houston Chronicle reports. Authorities found diagrams of two indoor pot-growing operations sitting on the front seat, and multiple pot seeds stored in the trunk of his Infinity.

Police raided Morales’ home and found the multitude of marijuana plants, ammunition and weapons, which included a grenade launcher, according to court documents obtained by News Fix Now.

On Monday, the now 41-year-old former actor pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Morales insisted that he was nonviolent, but U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore stated that, “Everything I read about you makes you seem like a scary person.”

McGruff the Crime Dog is a cartoon bloodhound that was created by global advertising company Saatchi & Saatchi and the Ad Council in the early 1980s for the National Crime Prevention Council used by U.S. police in spreading crime awareness. The dog is often played by actors wearing the character’s rain-coat costume as McGruff visits schools, does commercials and engages children through educational videos.

Postal Service is Going POSTAL!

U.S. Postal Service Announces Giant Ammo Purchase
............
Kit Daniels
............
The U.S. Postal Service is currently seeking companies that can provide “assorted small arms ammunition” in the near future.

The U.S. Postal Service joins the long list of non-military federal agencies purchasing large amounts of ammunition.

On Jan. 31, the USPS Supplies and Services Purchasing Office posted a notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website asking contractors to register with USPS as potential ammunition suppliers for a variety of cartridges.

“The United States Postal Service intends to solicit proposals for assorted small arms ammunition,” the notice reads, which also mentioned a deadline of Feb. 10.

The Post Office published the notice just two days after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced his proposal to remove a federal gun ban that prevents lawful concealed carry holders from carrying handguns inside post offices across the country.

Ironically the Postal Service isn’t the first non-law enforcement agency seeking firearms and ammunition.

Since 2001, the U.S. Dept. of Education has been building a massive arsenal through purchases orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

The Education Dept. has spent over $80,000 so far on Glock pistols and over $17,000 on Remington shotguns.

Back in July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also purchased 72,000 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson, following a 2012 purchase for 46,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point by the National Weather Service.

NOAA spokesperson Scott Smullen responded to concerns over the weather service purchase by stating that it was meant for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement for its bi-annual “target qualifications and training.”

That seems excessive considering that JHP ammunition is typically several times more expensive than practice rounds, which can usually be found in equivalent power loadings and thus offer similar recoil characteristics as duty rounds.

Including mass purchases by the Dept. of Homeland Security, non-military federal agencies combined have purchased an estimated amount of over two billion rounds of ammunition in the past two years.

Additionally, the U.S. Army bought almost 600,000 Soviet AK-47 magazines last fall, enough to hold nearly 18,000,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo which is not standard-issue for either the U.S. military or even NATO.

It would take a Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy, one of the largest cargo aircraft in the world, two trips to haul that many magazines.

A month prior, the army purchased nearly 3,000,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo, a huge amount but still only 1/6th of what the magazines purchased can hold in total.

I do know there is an executive order that has the post office workers going door to door in a disaster checking on you. Maybe thats why they need to order guns and ammo?) Story Reports

Legal abortion is usually defined in terms of the mother's convenience

Legal abortion is usually defined in terms of the mother's convenience.

Convenience: the state of being able to proceed with something with little effort or difficulty.

Viable: Capable of living or of developing into a living thing
.......
Details on State Abortion Laws
.......
Details on State Abortion Laws
.......
Illegal Abortion

In no state is unrestricted abortion legal. About twenty states define an illegal abortion in terms of the definition of a legal abortion; for example, Hawaii defines an illegal abortion as failure to meet the criterion of a legal abortion. (The definition of a legal abortion, in Hawaii, is simply the destruction of a nonviable fetus.) About fifteen states, however (predominantly in the East and the South) do define illegal abortions without reference to legal instances of abortion. Of these states, only some have specific statutes defining an illegal abortion; others merely define a legal abortion and impose penalties for their violation. The remaining states have definitions that specifically mention the limits of when an abortion is acceptable. For example, West Virginia defines an illegal abortion as any activity "with intent to destroy an unborn child or produce abortion [or] if mother dies unless to save the mother."

Legal Abortion

Legal abortion is usually defined in terms of the mother's convenience or health. Though few definitions mention the life or health of the fetus, many refer to its "viability" as a standard for when an abortion may be performed with impunity, and without further attempt to define the term. These definitions are objective in that specific time parameters are set, outside of which an abortion cannot legally be done, absent exigent circumstances. The most unrestrictive of all definitions occur in Hawaii and Alaska, where a legal abortion is an abortion on "any nonviable fetus." After viability has been established, most states give additional instances when abortion may be legal: to save the life of the mother or if there are severe defects present in the fetus.

State of the Statutes

Prior to 1973 and the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court (410 U.S. 113 (1973), the regulation of abortion was left to the states. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decided that the Constitution protected a woman's right to abortion, a novel right said to be found in the unstated right to privacy, from state regulation during the first trimester of pregnancy. However, the Court also held that the states have an "important and legitimate interest in protecting the potentiality of human life." The abortion controversy has revolved around the states' consequent attempts to protect unborn life. The Supreme Court's patchwork of opinions following Roe has left abortion a highly unsettled area of law. Many statutes reflect state attempts at balancing a woman's right to choose an abortion with the state's compelling interest in protecting fetal life.

The statutes in this chapter are as they currently appear in the state codes. Interestingly enough, some of the statutes may be unconstitutional if challenged, based on prior Supreme Court rulings. Following are the general areas of abortion legislation and the Supreme Court's treatment of each:

Parental Consent. States may require a minor seeking an abortion to obtain the consent of a parent or guardian as long as there is an adequate judicial bypass procedure.

Informed Consent. A state may require a physician to provide a woman with such information such as alternatives to abortion, sources of financial aid, development of the child, and the gestational age of the child. Prior to 1992, informed consent provisions were unconstitutional.


Spousal Consent. A state may not require a married woman to obtain her husband's consent before undergoing an abortion.


Abortion Method. A state may not require the physician performing the abortion to use the technique providing for the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive the abortion.


Second Physician. A state may not require that a second physician attend the abortion to take immediate control of the care of a child born alive in an abortion unless the provision has an exception for a situation when the health of the mother was endangered.


Waiting Period. A twenty-four hour waiting period does not constitute an undue burden on a woman's decision to abort and, therefore, is constitutional. Prior to 1992, waiting period requirements were unconstitutional.


Parental Notice. A state may require that one parent be notified of a minor's abortion, but not two.


Fetal Remains. States may not require that the remains of the unborn child are disposed of in a "humane and sanitary" manner as it may suggest a mandate for some sort of "decent burial."

(A baby is viable and capable of living or of developing into a living human being. A woman's convenience should not be a reason to murder an unborn child.

A baby is precious and is known by GOD before being formed in the womb.

People who kill babies will be judged by GOD for their sin if they don't repent and ask GOD for forgiveness. People who are idle and don't speak out against abortion will also be judged by GOD. This is but one of the many reasons America is being judged today.)

The gospel is foolishness to all in the road to destruction

1 Corinthians 1:18

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
.......

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:17-25 Paul had been bred up in Jewish learning; but the plain preaching of a crucified Jesus, was more powerful than all the oratory and philosophy of the heathen world. This is the sum and substance of the gospel. Christ crucified is the foundation of all our hopes, the fountain of all our joys. And by his death we live. The preaching of salvation for lost sinners by the sufferings and death of the Son of God, if explained and faithfully applied, appears foolishness to those in the way to destruction.

The sensual, the covetous, the proud, and ambitious, alike see that the gospel opposes their favourite pursuits. But those who receive the gospel, and are enlightened by the Spirit of God, see more of God's wisdom and power in the doctrine of Christ crucified, than in all his other works.

God left a great part of the world to follow the dictates of man's boasted reason, and the event has shown that human wisdom is folly, and is unable to find or retain the knowledge of God as the Creator. It pleased him, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe. By the foolishness of preaching; not by what could justly be called foolish preaching. But the thing preached was foolishness to wordly-wise men.

The gospel ever was, and ever will be, foolishness to all in the road to destruction. The message of Christ, plainly delivered, ever has been a sure touchstone by which men may learn what road they are travelling. But the despised doctrine of salvation by faith in a crucified Saviour, God in human nature, purchasing the church with his own blood, to save multitudes, even all that believe, from ignorance, delusion, and vice, has been blessed in every age.

And the weakest instruments God uses, are stronger in their effects, than the strongest men can use. Not that there is foolishness or weakness in God, but what men consider as such, overcomes all their admired wisdom and strength.

NFL Punts On Daniel Defense Video

....... Daniel Defense’s banned Super Bowl commercial. ....... ....... Birthplace Of The Confederate Flag ie "The birth certificate of a flag". ....... NFL Bans Super Bowl Gun Commercial ....... G&A Online Editors ....... Daniel Defense recently submitted a commercial to FOX to be played during the 2014 NFL Super Bowl XLVIII. Though the video doesn’t showcase one of the company’s popular DDM4 rifles, this paid advertisement spot was rejected by the NFL. The commercial, which focuses on themes of personal protection and fundamental rights, was originally created by Daniel Defense to run in any network TV station at any time. According to NFL guidelines, Daniel Defense’s Super Bowl commercial does not violate NFL policy for two reasons: Daniel Defense has a brick-and-mortar store, where they sell products other than firearms such as apparel. The commercial itself does not mention firearms, ammunition or weaponry. While Daniel Defense’s commercial does not mention firearms, it does include a logo of their DDM4 rifle at the very end. ........ ........ ....... (Thats right bubba the confederate flag has a "long form" birth certificate not a PDF forged document like the FRAD who calls himself obama. What does this have to do with the Daniel Defense Video?

The NFL i'm sure wants to be pc and not offend the obama machine by bowing down to the federal regime in power.

Obama has punted every time he was confronted with any question of his origin and US citizenship. Obama has also punted when asked any serious question about anything he is doing. He is good at doing head fakes to the American public.) Story Reports ....... Confederate Battle Flag ....... Confederate Battle Flag ....... When the Confederate Army of the Shenandoah, under Joseph E. Johnston, and the Confederate Army of the Potomac, under Pierre G. T. Beauregard, met Union forces at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861, their troops flew an assortment of flags, both state and national. (States' rights was a founding principle of the Confederacy and influenced the attachment many units had to their state flags. Some Virginia and North Carolina soldiers refused to fly anything but their state flags.) The Stars and Bars' resemblance to the U.S. flag, combined with similarities between the two sides' uniforms and the general confusion of battle, contributed to an incident at First Manassas in which Confederate forces fired on a Confederate infantry brigade commanded by Jubal A. Early. Shortly after, Johnston and Beauregard resolved to establish a new, sufficiently distinctive flag for their troops, and they consulted one of Beauregard's aides, the same William Miles who had opposed the original flag in the first place. Miles resurrected what had been his preference for the national flag, a design of his own that featured a blue saltire, or X shape, with a white border and white stars (again, one for each state) on a field of red. The Committee on the Flag and Seal had rejected it the first time, suggesting that it looked "like a pair of suspenders," and now the members rejected it again. Johnston and Beauregard decided to use it anyway, with Beauregard proposing to Johnston two Confederate flags: "a peace or parade flag, and a war flag to be used only on the field of battle." This second flag, the so-called battle flag, would be the one Miles designed, and the two generals and their lieutenants met at Fairfax Court House in September 1861 to work out the details. At Johnston's urging, a square design was adopted, and each branch of the army was assigned a different size: forty-eight inches square for infantry, thirty-six inches square for artillery, and thirty inches square for cavalry. The Confederate battle flag was never adopted as a national flag, although over the course of the war it was incorporated into two such banners. The Second National Flag was adopted on May 1, 1863. Rectangular with a white field and a canton containing the battle flag, it was designed to look substantially different from the Stars and Stripes. (Public opinion had shifted since 1861. Matthew Fontaine Maury called the Stars and Bars a "servile imitation" of the Stars and Stripes.) However, the "Stainless Banner," as the new flag was called, introduced another problem. In the rare instance where it was used on the battlefield, it looked too much like a flag of truce, so on March 4, 1865, a vertical red strip along the fly edge was added, making it the "Blood-Stained Banner." In the meantime, the battle flag slowly transformed into an important national symbol independent of the national flags. For a time it was referred to as "Beauregard's flag," and when Beauregard's and Johnston's armies combined into a new Army of Northern Virginia in March 1862, it became closely associated with that force and its longtime commander, Robert E. Lee. As the Army of Northern Virginia became an important national symbol, so did the battle flag. Confederate nationhood was not independent of Lee's army and its success—as suggested by Johnston's distinction between peace and war flags—but, in fact, dependent upon it. Still, even as it became an important national symbol, the various meanings contained by the battle flag were complicated and sometimes ironic. Miles's original design was inspired by a South Carolina secession flag, which featured a blue St. George's cross, populated by fifteen white stars, on a field of red. In the upper left were a white crescent and a white palmetto. However, a Confederate Jew complained that the cross invested the flag with inappropriate religious symbolism, and Miles replaced it with what in heraldic terms is known as a saltire. Ironically, the X-shaped saltire is identical to a St. Andrew's cross, named for the Christian martyr and patron saint of Scotland. In that way, a flag that was intended to be secular took on powerful religious associations for some. Meanwhile, a flag not originally intended to be a national symbol has come to powerfully represent, more than any of the national flags, the Confederate nation and its varied and sometimes volatile associations, including slavery. Finally, during the twentieth century, the battle flag was often mistakenly referred to as the Stars and Bars, linking it to the First National Flag, whose design Miles had found so objectionable. A flag that has come to symbolize Confederate independence is often called by the name of a flag designed to emphasize the Confederacy's connection to the United States. ....... ....... (Today the virgina battle flag means diffenrt things to some people. The original intent of the flag was to inform the federal government that the south had had enough of their corruption and the south was willing to fight for their individual freedoms and rights. I think it still has the same meaning to the federal government.) Story Reports ..... . AR15 Info For American Self Defense

He’s confined to a wheelchair, but deputies say that didn’t stop an Ocala man from leading them on a three-county chase with a car he stole from a dealership.

When Shamal Battice rolled up to Ford of Ocala in his orange wheelchair Wednesday and asked a salesman to show him some cars, that salesman obliged.

The 28-year-old is paraplegic and despite having no use of his legs, Ocala Police said Battice told that salesman he wanted help getting in the driver seat of a 2009 Pontiac G6.

They say once he got inside, a grand theft auto heist was underway. He locked the doors, and then whipped out a collapsible cane.

Police say he used that cane to push down on gas and brake pedals, and sped off with the $13,000 car.

That led to the high-speed chase involving sheriff's deputies in Marion, Alachua and finally Bradford County.

But they say none of them were able to catch up to him, as he put the pedal to his metal cane.

Finally he was spotted at a gas station some 50 miles from where his illegal test drive began, begging customers for gas money.

Police say they authorized the dealership to deliver his wheelchair back to him, in exchange for the keys to the car.

Battice is jail without bond for charges of grand theft auto and fleeing and eluding deputies.

(Bubba this is "paranormal". It is obvious shamal could have been a race car driver etc. I'm serious. I don't admire theft but I do admire his driving ability considering he did not use his legs. The story says he was confined to a wheel chair. Confined means limited, restricted etc. Most people who are not "confined" could not do what this guy did. Shamal means wind and this guy had the wind at his back. :) Story Reports
