House Leadership Ignores Gun Owners, Slams through Plastic Gun Ban Reauthorization‏



House Leadership Ignores Gun Owners,
Slams through Plastic Gun Ban Reauthorization

The battle continues, and now moves to the Senate
“There is opposition to changing existing law from conservative lawmakers and gun rights groups such as Gun Owners of America.” -- USA Today, December 3, 2013
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Someone once said that the only thing anyone ever learns from history is that no one ever learns anything from history.
Straight from bumbling the shut down, the House leadership yesterday, by a voice vote, slammed through a straight ten-year reauthorization of the poorly drafted 1988 plastic gun ban.
Read GOA’s oped on this subject in this morning’s USA Today.
At least, argue House Republicans, this “straight authorization” of a bad law will prohibit New York Democrat Chuck Schumer from using the reauthorization as a vehicle to enact new, more extensive gun control.
Maybe.
But the House leadership has now handed Schumer a legislative vehicle for passing his gun control.  This means he and Harry Reid could choose to take their ban on 3-D printer guns -– which, by the way, would also ban many metal gun manufacturers -– and send it back to the House.
Just hours after the House reauthorized the anti-gun law, Schumer held a press event in support of expanding the plastic gun ban.
If they do this, then Boehner and his leadership team will once again be swimming in a river of pain –- inflicted by a liberal media that finally sees an opportunity for passing its much-desired gun control agenda.
So the first thing we’re doing is to organize a Senate filibuster of any Schumer effort to pass and/or expand the House bill.
Given that the Senate is currently bogged down in a fight over the defense authorization legislation, we may be able to make it very difficult for Schumer to use the House-passed bill as a vehicle for new gun control.     
So please stay tuned.  We thank you for all your activism up to this point.  But just realize that this battle is not over yet.
GOA IN THE MEDIA
Meanwhile, GOA Director of Communications Erich Pratt authored the Opposing View this morning in USA Today.
Among other things, Pratt argued that the plastic gun ban is an unconstitutional infringement of our liberties that is not only ineffective, but could eventually be expanded by an anti-gun administration to ban even more guns.
But what about the issue of smuggling guns onto planes?
Pratt says that renewing a ban on plastic firearms will “not stop criminals from making them or stealing them,” any more than Chicago's gun restrictions have been effective in stopping shootings there.
Not only that, says Pratt, “smuggling guns onto planes will still be against the law, with or without a plastic gun ban.” And airport X-ray machines will still be able to detect them.
Bottom line, says Pratt, Congress solved the problem of terrorists carrying weapons onto planes after 9/11 -- not through additional gun bans, but by “allowing pilots to use guns to defend themselves and their passengers.”

Editorial: Changing the subject from Obamacare!

Editorial

Last week was an attempt to get away from the failings of Obamacare, and that is far more than website failures. The two attempts were the end of the Senate Filibuster, and the Iran deal (appeasement?). The next attempt is likely to be another gun control attempt.

Are the distractions succeeeding in what the President wants to do?

Disarming everyone they view as potential political opposition

A very interesting book from http://jpfo.org about disarming the political opposition such as in Colorado and New York. This follows this post about Tina Fey mocking Sarah Palin. This follows this post about current music that is topping the charts.  In the meantime, you can read two very interesting books HERE.

Disarming everyone they view as potential political opposition


Refer to the "Sandy Hook Index" for an archive collection of valuable material we have shown since the events at the Newtown Elementary School.
http://olegvolk.net/blog/2013/03/18/so-called-logic-of-gun-bans/

"… their real goal isn't disarming the criminals but disarming everyone they view as potential political opposition. Some segments of gun control are aimed at producing a local electoral majority, the prime example being the Colorado bills that would cause enough pro-gun people to move out of the state to ensure a long-term Democrat majority. Others are aimed at disarming the "most probably enemy" population groups, and both political parties are guilty of that to some extent, though the Democratic party does it far more."

Media blackout: Illegal Immigrant goes on assault rifle rampage killing 3 injuring 2

Moya was a previously deported illegal alien. Only a day after the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School, another mad man went on a shooting spree, again armed with a so-called assault rifle (AK-47) and one of his victims was a child.



However, unlike the Connecticut shooting, this one has been completely ignored by the national media.



The shooting took place at a trailer park in Heflin, Ala., and left the shooter's three brothers dead. Those men were identified as Lorenzo Moya, 36; Miguel Moya, 23; and Ismael Moya, 17.

The shooter, Romero Roberto Moya, 33, also shot his 19-month-old son as well as a police officer, according to police.



Both of those victims required extensive surgery and are expected to make a full recovery.



Following the shootings, Moya led police on a 25-mile chase and was eventually was shot to death.

So, why has the press ignored this story?



Moya was a previously deported illegal alien.



In June 2011, Moya pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking and spent less than a year in prison for the charge.



In March 2012, he was released into the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and deported to Mexico on April 5, according to ICE.



Det. Dennis Green with the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, reports that Moya's wife claimed he made his way back to Alabama about four months ago..only four months after his deportation.



Of course, this case is a clear demonstration of just how meaningless deportations are with an unprotected border.



This tragedy also demonstrates that President Obama's policies of appeasement toward illegal aliens is placing Americans at grave risk.



Not surprisingly, the mainstream press is not anxious to tell this 'narrative.'

HOLDER SERIOUS ABOUT REMOVING 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS FOR AMERICANS, BUT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT KEEPING WEAPONS OUT OF MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL HANDS - Fast and Furious gun found at Mexican crime scene

HOLDER SERIOUS ABOUT REMOVING 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS FOR AMERICANS, BUT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT KEEPING WEAPONS OUT OF MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL HANDS - Fast and Furious gun found at Mexican crime scene

The Justice Department did not notify Congress of the Fast and Furious firearm recovery in November, even though Grassley has requested an accounting of weapons that surface from the case.



Another weapon from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agency's controversial Operation Fast and Furious was recently recovered at a Mexican crime scene, CBS News has learned. Congressional investigators say the crime scene was likely where a recent shootout took place between reported Sinaloa drug cartel members and the Mexican military, in which Sinaloa beauty queen Maria Susana Flores Gamez and four others were killed.

CBS News/ December 18, 2012, 12:38 PM



According to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, the Justice Department did not notify Congress of the Fast and Furious firearm recovery in November, even though Grassley has requested an accounting of weapons that surface from the case. During Fast and Furious, ATF allowed more than 2,000 weapons, including giant .50-caliber guns, to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels and other criminals. Other so-called "gunwalking" operations by ATF let hundreds more guns hit the street. Most of them have never been recovered.



The latest known recovery is a Romanian AK-47-type WASR-10 rifle. It was picked up at a crime scene Nov. 23 in Ciudad Guamuchil, Sinaloa, Mexico. That's the same area and weekend of the shootout involving Flores Gamez's death. A trace report shows the rifle was purchased by Uriel Patino, the Fast and Furious suspect who allegedly bought more than 700 weapons while under ATF's watch. Records show Patino bought the rifle and nine other semi-automatic rifles at an Arizona gun shop March 16, 2010.



Grassley has sent a letter to the Justice Department requesting more information, and asking whether the officials were planning to notify Congress "that a Fast and Furious weapon had been recovered."



The Justice Department provided no immediate response to CBS News.



Two other Fast and Furious AK-47-type rifles were found at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010. In September 2011, ATF estimated that Fast and Furious weapons had been recovered at eight violent crimes in Mexico. As CBS News has reported, guns trafficked under ATF's watch in a separate investigation were also used in the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico in February 2011. The families of both Terry and Zapata are suing government officials for alleged negligence and related claims.

Sandy Hook, of course was a tragedy and a great book to read for comfort and understanding is at www.ucg.org  here. Unfortunately gun control could be a long term unintended consequence of it as is commented on by http://jpfo.org here.
