Urgent action alert received from Illinois State Rifle Association

The following action alert was received from the Illinois State Rifle Association.

The Alert follows:

ISRA Alert: County Phone Poll For Gun Control Ordinance Is Still Active;

Larry Suffredin and his cohorts on the Cook County Board are up to their old tricks again.

In order to justify passage of gun control ordinances designed to close all gun shops and ban and confiscate most guns owned by citizens of the county, the Cook County Board is conducting a telephone poll where callers can vote for or against the gun control ordinances.

Like everything else in Cook County, this poll is probably rigged.

So, it's very important that you do the following:
1. Call 1-312 -603-6400 and select Option #1 when prompted.

At the next prompt, select Option #1 again.

Then, when prompted to vote on the gun control ordinance, press #2.

2. You should also forward this alert on to all your gun owning friends and have them vote too.
3. You should also post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF COOK COUNTY TO VOTE IN THE SURVEY...!

p.s. If you are not an ISRA member and NRA Member please join, as it will take all of us together to protect our Second Amendment Rights.

Ben Franklin Quote of the Day

"Never trust a government that doesn't trust its own citizens with guns"

I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist, but, this stuff DOES really start make me wonder...

snopes.com will tell you the "Amero" & "North American Union" is not true….

Just how accurate IS Snopes?

"Sustainable development" is the term used to promote the UN Agenda 21. The plan is to make us all into Worker Bees. Take you, your house, your freedom.
AGENDA 21 - This is CHILLING...

Remember the old saying, "I love my country, it's my government I don't trust"?

I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist, but, this stuff DOES really start make me wonder...



Please, give me your feedback. I wanna know what everyone else thinks...

I really want the imput from people I trust. I'm discounting somewhat any "Joes blogs", but I AM paying attention to anything like www.blahblahblah.gov , .un, .edu, etc.

Particularly if it looks credible... Let me know what you think.



Also type in "HR 45" into a google search, read what the Library of Congress

has to say about the bill. THEN try to tell me they are not trying to get a

"National Gun Registry Database".



This is eerily like 1939, and Hitlers statements how an "armed society cannot be

easily taken over". Remember the "databases" of the Jews?


I just recieved my "National Notary" February 2009 publication. RIGHT ON THE FRONTPAGE is a story about the "NATIONAL ID CARD" with Right thumbprint, full
face photograph, IRIS SCAN, and VOICE PRINT! The title is: "Identity Security
Remains A Top Priority For Incoming Administration".
My first response was "OH SH*T" and now I'm starting to really see the pieces
of the puzzle.

PRELIMINARY GUN BAN LIST IS REVEALED

Jan. 5, 2008

1. Officials stocking up on AR-15-style long guns
2. Preliminary gun ban list revealed

1. S&W sales
With bans on AR-15 and AR-15-styled rifles to the public expected under the Obama administration (see gun-ban lists below), Smith and Wesson has just announced expansion of that market, with the sale of 275 of its M&P15 rifles to the Chicago police department. http://tinyurl.com/742qre

Chicago, president-elect Obama’s home town, has virtual bans on handguns and strict repressive limits on long guns, but police are excluded and criminals blithely ignore the provisions.

The M&P15 strongly resembles the AR-15, a high quality, semi automatic long gun used by the U.S. military and the public for decades. What the Chicago police expect to do with 275 of the guns, vilified as assault weapons by the lamestream media, was undisclosed.

Assault, it has been noted, is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.

In other news, the Minnesota State Patrol has purchased 90 of the high-quality M&P15 firearms, which retail for more than $1,000 each.

In still other news, actor David Spade donated $100,000 to the Phoenix police department, to buy 50 new AR-15 rifles made by Colt, an S&W competitor. Spade was apparently moved by a “news” broadcast that said Phoenix officers had to buy their own rifles due to lack of funding, and he wanted to help them out.

2. Gun-ban list proposed
Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress). It serves as a framework for the new list the Bradys plan to introduce shortly.

I have an outline of the Brady’s current plans and targets of opportunity, I’m working on getting that news out asap after these ban lists, probably be ready in the next few days. It’s horrific. They’re going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They’ve made little mention of criminals.

Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment. See what 250 of your peers thought during our recent Bill of Rights Day event at the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix: http://www.gunlaws.com/BOR-Day-2008-Report.htm

The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse)

Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a threaded barrel, (iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see below), (iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud.

Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rimfire rifles).

A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine, and has (i) a second pistol grip, (ii) a threaded barrel, (iii) a barrel shroud or (iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, and (v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.

A semiautomatic shotgun with (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a pistol grip (see definition below), (iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds, and (iv) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will:
(Remember the name Eric Holder? We warned you about him a while back)
Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any “semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General.” Note that Obama’s pick for this office (Eric Holder, confirmation hearing set for Jan. 15) wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a working firearm in your own home.

In making this determination, the bill says, “there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.

”In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military is not suitable for the public.

That presumption can be challenged only by suing the federal government over each firearm it decides to ban, in a court it runs with a judge it pays. This virtually dismisses the principles of the Second Amendment.

The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn’t have a sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose -- is that devious or what? And of course, “sporting purpose” is a rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent.

If these near-total bans aren’t enough, the most dangerous part may be the phrase “pistol grip” because: “The term ‘pistol grip’ means a grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.” In other words, any semi-auto long gun with a grip (that’s ALL semi-auto long guns) would be banned under the existing proposal. It’s not clear what they hope to achieve by deceptively banning guns with grips instead of just calling to ban the guns -- even an idiot can tell it’s the same thing.

I didn’t cover all the magazine bans, transfer bans, dealer record-keeping and centralized reporting, and a host of nuisance details -- there will be time enough for that when the new lists are released soon: “As soon as President-elect Obama is inaugurated and the 111th Congress is sworn in,” according to Ms. Brady. Congress is set to be sworn in on Jan. 6, Inauguration Day is Jan. 20.

No one expects the new proposal to be less abusive than the current one supported by the party of the Democrats. Remember -- these bans were proposed when the congressional anti-rights crowd had no chance of success. Now they are ready to run wild, or according to Sarah herself, “I have never been so confident.” The “news” media has failed to report on any of this, preferring instead to blare that the incoming president supports the Second Amendment and commonsense (sic) laws.

To see the whole bill, go to http://thomas.loc.gov and search for HR 1022, (switch to the 110th Congress if the 111th has begun).

The excellent Firearms Coalition started by the late Neal Knox and now run by his family members makes these important points about the upcoming Judiciary hearings for Attorney General nominee Holder:

“The Democrat members of the Judiciary Committee are all sworn enemies to the Second Amendment and are unlikely to be swayed at all by any firearms related arguments, but might hesitate to confirm based on Holder’s participation in the pardons of 16 Puerto Rican terrorists and billionaire financier and arms merchant Marc Rich [and perhaps the Elian Gonzalez abduction by federal agents Holder authorized]. Any letters to Democrats should focus on those issues.

“On the Republican side, Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the committee has never been a friend to gun rights, but he owes his reelection to NRA support and has expressed concern over the pardon issues. Among the other Republicans, most are relatively reliable votes, but only Coburn has routinely taken a leadership role on Second Amendment matters. All of them need to be pressed hard to do everything they can to block the appointment.

CORRECT THEM POLITICALLY AND WIN!

We've all talked about how we're losing

the war of words in the struggle for our liberties.

Well here comes the cavalry.

POLITICALLY CORRECTED

Next time, I will share the Glossary of Terms

Part One -- The Concept

Certain words hurt you when you talk about your rights and liberties. People who would deny your rights have done a good job of manipulating the language so far.

Without even realizing it, you're probably using terms that actually help the people who want to disarm you.

To preserve, protect and defend your rights in the critical debate on where power should reside in America, you need effective word choices. Try out some of the ideas in this chart the next time you deal with this subject.

Then just give it a rest and watch where it goes. You'll hear their litany, replete with flaws. Don't rebut, seize the moment, listen hard and learn -- then just raise an eyebrow and think, "How 'bout that. Feller doesn't even own a gun. It takes all kinds." Then talk about something else. And boy, does the disjoint hang in their craw.

They want you to say (& you lose if you say):

It's better to say (& they lose if you say):
pro gun

pro rights
gun control

crime control
anti-gun movement

anti-self-defense movement
semiautomatic handgun

sidearm
concealed carry

carry or right to carry

assault or lethal weapon

household firearms
saturday night specials

racist gun laws
junk guns

the affordability issue
high capacity magazines

full capacity magazines
Second Amendment

Bill of Rights
the powerful gun lobby

civil rights organizations
common sense legislation

dangerous utopian ideas
reasonable gun controls

victim disarmament
gun control laws

infringement laws
anti gun

anti-gun bigot
anti gun

anti-gun prejudice
anti gun

anti rights

When they say:

You say:
Guns kill

Guns save lives
Guns cause crime

Guns stop crime
Guns are bad

Guns are why America is still free
Assault weapons are bad

Assault is a type of behavior
Guns are so dangerous

Guns are supposed to be dangerous
Guns are too dangerous to own

You should take a safety class

People shouldn't have guns

Maybe you shouldn't have one
Guns should be totally outlawed

Let's try that with drugs first
The purpose of a gun is to kill

The purpose of a gun is to protect

People don't need guns

Only good people need guns
Guns should go away

Then you should personally sign up to never have a gun in your life, like you want me to.

They should take away all the guns

Bad guys first
They should take away all the guns because they are so dangerous.

Who exactly is the "they" you would give all these dangerous guns to?
Gun owners should be registered

Bad guys first
Gun owners should be registered to help stop crime.

So, how would writing my name on government list help stop crime?
We need more gun laws

Criminal activity is already banned
Why would anyone want to own a gun?

You're kidding, right? You mean you really don't know? Well, why do you think we give guns to the police?
I'm not against people having guns

What sort of guns do you think people should have, and why?
Do you really have a gun?

Of course, don't you?
