Maryland Passes Unconstitutional Gun Control Law

Left wing Democrat Maryland Governor Martin OMalley signed into law one of the United States toughest gun control laws on Thursday.

The legislation requires all handgun buyers to undergo safety training and submit fingerprints to obtain a license to purchase a pistol or revolver.  Concealed carry licenses are not issued in Maryland unless you are politically connected with Progressive politicians who control the liberal fascist state.

It new law bans the sale of 45 types of firearms, including pistols, rifles and shotguns.

The new law also reduces magazine capacity from 20 rounds to 10 rounds.

Maryland joins Connecticut and New York in expanding assault weapons bans and restricting the capacity of magazines in 2013.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has announced plans to challenge the new state gun control laws in court.

Republican State Assembly Delegate Neil Parrott said last month that leading opponents of the Maryland bill planned to back an NRA lawsuit, rather than petition for a referendum.

A Maryland woman, Sue Payne, has also launched a campaign to petition the bill to a referendum, filing paperwork with the board of elections last month.

Other features of the bill include mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms. Failure to timely report lost or stolen firearms will result in your arrest and prosecution in Maryland.

The law also strengthens the states ability to regulate harass gun dealers.

I lived in Maryland from 1976-77 and attended the University of Maryland while working for the Uniformed Secret Service.  I lived in Prince George County, which is now one of the most dangerous urban areas in the country.  If you have seen The Wire, then you know Baltimore. 

I feel for the law abiding gun owners in Eastern and Western Maryland. You are in the same situation as upstate New Yorkers and many Californians who live far from the coast.  But this is what happens when Democrats control all branches of government.  The courts is your only hope and we all know the lawsuits will take years to be resolved. 

Of course the new law will do nothing to keep criminals from using guns and high capacity magazines to faciltate their crime.  The new law is intended to turn law abiding citizens into criminals. The new law will make it more difficult and expensive for law abiding citizens to protect themselves against the many violent criminals and gang bangers who populate Maryland.  See Chicago for the effects of strict gun control laws on criminal behavor.

Armed citizens kill more crooks than the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606).  Newsweek a member of the progressive propaganda machine, reported that only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The error rate for the police, however, is 11 percent, more than five times as high.

Stand And Fight for the Bill of Rights

For eighth grade student Jared Marcum, that phrase emblazoned on his NRA T-shirt turned out to be more than mere words — it became his rallying cry. Jared was arrested and suspended for wearing the shirt, which also displays an image of a Remington rifle, to his West Virginia school. But he stood up for his rights and when Jared returned to school following his suspension, he was not alone — dozens of students showed their support by wearing similar apparel. His family continues to fight to clear his name.

Hoplophobia - the Homophobia of Today's Progressives 

HOPLOPHOBIA - irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against guns and firearms
HOMOPHOBIA- irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.

In America today both the main stream media and education system constantly praise homosexuals as heroes while vilifying all guns and firearms owners.  The message is crystal clear: All homosexuals are good. All gun owners are bad.  The Second Amendment no longer applies.

There is no greater danger to our Constitutional Republic and the Freedoms we are guaranted in the Bill of Rights, than Progressives.  PERIOD.
David Cole Withrow is a Princeton, North Carolina High School honors student who was arrested Monday and charged with a felony for having a shotgun in his truck in the school parking lot.

Yesterday, Todd Starnes reported on FOX News and Commentary that Eagle Scout Cole Withrow was just a few weeks from graduating with honors from his North Carolina high school, but now the active church member is facing a felony weapons charge and a precarious future after accidentally leaving a shotgun in his pickup truck in the school parking lot.

Most members of the Johnston County community, just southeast of Raleigh believe the 18-year-old is paying far too big a price for an honest mistake. Withrow had been skeet shooting with friends a day before, and only noticed he had left his shotgun in his truck on Monday morning as he reached to grab his book bag, said family friend Kimberly Boykin. When he realized his mistake, rather than leave school grounds, he went to the front office to call his mother for help.

“He didn’t know what to do,” Boykin, whose son is friends with Withrow, told Fox News. “If you jump in the truck and leave, then they get you for skipping school. Once you are there you have to say.

“I think it’s an injustice for this young man,” she added. “He’s a good guy. He’s loved by his classmates and his teachers. You don’t become an Eagle Scout by being a bad seed.”

She said the school district is sending a very bad message to students. Ya think?  A 17 year old Rapper in Chicago recently received probation for pointing a loaded handgun at a police officer.  Chicago is the largest Gun Free Zone in America yet has more gun crime, including murder than any other city in America.

Withrow, who did his senior class project on gun safety, locked the gun in his truck before going to call his mother. But when he asked her to come and take the gun, the trouble started.

“He was overheard in a private conversation with his mother explaining what happened,” Boykin said. “He could have told a story, but he told the truth.”

A spokesperson for Johnston County Schools confirmed to Fox News that they found the shotgun in Withrow’s locked vehicle.

“The law is very clear when a person knowingly and willingly brings a weapon onto educational property,” spokesperson Tracey Peedin Jones said. “The situation was turned over to law enforcement immediately.”

Boykin said he was also expelled for 365 days – meaning that he will not be able to graduate from high school.

NRA News reported last night that two teachers received 3 days suspension, after they previously self reported accidently leaving their hunting guns in vehicles parked at the same school. The teachers were not arrested nor charged with a crime. 

ABC News is reporting that according to law enforcement officials, punishments are not the same for students and school administrators who commit crimes on school property in Johnston County.

One day after a Johnston County high school senior was expelled for having an unloaded gun on campus, ABC11 learned administrators only suspended an assistant principal for three days at the same school for a similar incident last year.

Withrow’s arrest has sparked outrage across this small town, southeast of Raleigh. A Facebook page has been launched to generate support for the boy – and students have launched a Twitter hash-tag “#FREECOLE.”

“He is very honest and respectable and would never intentionally try to hurt anyone,” said classmate Kelcie Thomas. “It was an honest mistake and my whole school is backing him up and supporting him fully.”

The Withrow family is not talking to the media on the advice of their attorney – but Boykin said the family is just heartbroken.

The school system is standing by their decision.

“Administration reacted promptly and the proper procedures and protocol were followed,” Jones said. “The situation was turned over to law enforcement immediately. As a result of our investigation, it is our best determination that students and staff were safe at all times.”

Boykin said the problem is that the laws are black and white.

“There’s no room for gray area,” she said. “There’s no room for discretion for human error.”

While his future remains unclear, Boykin said an encounter last week sums up the character of Cole Withrow.

“The kids got their caps and gowns on Friday and after school a group of them went to a local Mexican restaurant,” she recounted.

“They were being loud teenagers and carrying on – but when the waiter brought their food – the table got quiet. They all bowed their heads and they said the blessing. Cole was one of those kids.”

Boykin said she cried when another mom told her that story.

“They don’t always make the right decisions,” she said. “But I don’t know what other kind of decision he could have made at that point.”

Like many in this town of 1,000 residents, Boykin is dumbfounded.

“Honestly, my heart just broke,” she said. “I know that it was just an honest mistake.”

Coles future is uncertain. He was admitted to Campbell University and East Carolina University to attend school in fall. He was also awarded scholarships, but because he is currently charged with a felony and will not graduate, he will not able to attend college and could face prison.

Wake up America.  Progressives are the problem and we the people are the solution. 

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that theyre ignorant; its just that they know so much that isnt so. -Ronald Reagan

Progressives Emboldened By Obama ?

Warning: If you are offended by foul four letter words, dont read this post

We started writing this blog almost five years ago, naively thinking that retirement would be so interesting that people would actually come here to read about my daily adventures.  It took less than a month for me to ditch that theory! Writing about finding caffeine free Iced Tea for half price at Kroger isnt going to entice readers to come back to read about 5 for $5!

But yesterday something happened at my local Kroger that readers may find interesting.  As most of you know, I live in Tarrant County, Texas which is serious Red State territory.  My Congressman is Joe Barton and my Senators are Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.  Its a rare day that I dont see at least one NRA sticker at my local shopping center. I cant remember ever spotting an Obama bumper sticker in my local Kroger parking lot.

A cold front moved through yesterday so I wore my jacket and cap to the Kroger in search of a $6 hot lunch.  This tactical jacket has American and Gadsden flag Velcro patches on the sleeves.

While looking over the lunch specials, I noticed an angry looking old white guy giving me the stink eye.  He had circled me twice before while I was squeezing melons in the produce department.  On his third pass by the deli, he worked up enough courage to speak to me, Can I ask if you were in the military? I told him no and he immediately shook his head in disgust and walked away mumbling thats what I thought.

I let it go, not saying a word back to him, though I did think, what an asshole!  After I ordered my lunch he walked over to me again. Without me saying a work he began to explain his curiosity, The reason I asked is that some of those tea baggers

He continued making his unsolicited political statement but I couldnt tell you a word that he said after tea baggers.  You may get away with poking a grazing bull once, but if you go back and wave a red flag in his face, theres a good chance you will get an angry reaction.  The Wolf instantly accommodated, turning into a raging Bull.

Did you just call me a tea bagger?  He responded, Uh, well no, its just that most of those tea baggers who have never served their country  The Wolf cut him off in mid sentence.  First of all, Im not a tea bagger.  Im a Tea Party patriot.  Secondly, you have no idea who I am or what I have done in my life.

I then inquired, Do you think if I was an African American wearing an Obama t-shirt you could get away with walking up to me in the Kroger and start yapping aboutthose niggers yada, yada, yada? 

The only thing I regret about the encounter, is that I didnt think to snap a photo of the look on his face with my iPhone at that very moment!  The readers who know me personally, already know whats coming.  The Wolf continued to twist off.

Who the fuck do you think you are, invading my personal space, using the intentionally derogatory and provocative term tea bagger?  You know nothing about me except that Im wearing a patriotic jacket and cap and yet you feel comfortable walking up to me insulting my patriotism with bigoted remarks? At that point he tried to rationalize that he wasnt talking about me, but what bothered him was those other tea baggers WTF ?

I cut him off immediately, Let me tell you what bothers ME.  Progressives who feel they have a right to infringe upon my space at the Kroger Deli counter, spewing derogatory political speech while insulting my patriotism.  I dont give a fuck what you think about anything, none the less I will not stand here and let you insult Tea Party patriots by referring to us as tea baggers, a phrase coined long before you Progressives hijacked it from the gay community!

At that point he seemed to realize that his mouth had written a check that his ass couldnt cash and he started to do some serious craw fishing.  But I didnt want to hear it.  I walked away but not before I said, I dont know where you come from nor do I give a flying fuck, but youre in Texas now.  Next time you might consider taking a differnt approach to sharing your progressive political views with a redneck wearing Dont Tread on Me patches on his tactical jacket!

I finished my shopping and of course, ten minutes later we hit the same register at the same exact moment!  Again, he starts with his lame apologies and I shit you not, he again refers to tea baggers.  I had calmed down during my stroll through the refrigerated section, so I just shook my head, youre apologizing to me in one sentence and saying tea baggers in the next? As I walked away, I said  I not only dont accept your apology, assholes like you guarantee that I spend the rest of my life using my time and my treasure to support the TEA PARTY. Have a nice day.  This is when I needed to take a photo of the check out clerks face!

Look, I understand that jacket makes a political statement.  Thats why I wear it.  I dont have a problem with anyone using it as a jumping off point to express their opposing political views to me.   Im all for freedom.  This is America and the Bill of Rights is what makes our country the greatest in the world. 

But I have zero tolerance for Progressive PC hypocrisy.  Using the inflammatory, intentionally insulting term tea bagger is exactly the same as calling an African American a nigger or a female a cunt.  How long to you think it would take for the cops to get to Kroger if you walked up to an African American customer wearing an Obama T-shirt, and started talking about those niggers?

Yet emboldened by the  hypocrisy of the Obamanation, the likes of Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz call Tea Party supporters tea baggers on MSNBC every week without any repercussions. And now their minions think they can shovel that shit in my face at the Kroger? Not on my watch!

The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.

NYSRPA Seeks Injunction to Block Part of Cuomo Gun Ban

New Yorks largest gun owners’ group will seek a preliminary injunction in federal court today to block several sections of Gov. Cuomo’s tough new anti-gun law, including a bizarre provision that even the governor can’t justify, according to the NY Post .

The unusual section of the new SAFE Act takes effect today, and while it allows legal gun owners to put 10 bullets in the magazines of their semiautomatic rifles and pistols during competitions at shooting ranges, it makes it illegal for them to put more than seven bullets in the same gun magazines in their own homes — even if their lives are in danger.

“The seven-round home-protection ban directly and immediately impacts the ability of law-abiding gun owners in New York to defend themselves and their loved ones against criminal attack,’’ said White Plains lawyer Brian Stapleton, who represents the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA).

Cuomo and his aides have been unable to explain the rationale behind allowing legitimate gun owners to load 10 rounds for target shooting but only seven rounds for self-defense at home, except to say “police experts’’ believe seven rounds should be the maximum allowed for personal protection.
