The Letter They Wouldn't Dare Print:

Re: Communism Remains a Deadly Threat


Dear Editor,

Bill Clinton, chastising concerned republicans at a democrat's 2012 campaign fundraiser, said, "Nobody's seen a communist in over a decade!" The assembled wealthy democrats thundered approval.

Now that president Obama has established diplomatic relations with communist Cuba, isn't it time for someone prominent to correct Mr. Clinton's disinformation, even admonish him?

Communism hasn't simply evaporated as a mortal threat. Nuclear-powered communist North Korea just hammered our First Amendment. Along with communist red China (not just "China" as the media whitewashes this dangerous Asian giant) they stage non-stop cyber attacks against our military and commercial enterprises. These are full-blown communists Clinton and those democrats cannot see.

Marxism was a well-documented element in Mr. Obama's upbringing, even woven through his own autobiography. Now that he has chosen, unilaterally, to abandon efforts at regime change ("commie removal") in welcoming the communist dictators who brutally rule Cuba, Clinton's stinging deception more than ever requires rebuke, don't you think?

Alive and kicking communism is. It remains tied for first place on America's enemies list, despite attempts by swaths of American leftists to pretend it isn't there, now making nice nice with people seeking to destroy us, attacking us daily. Hey Fourth Estate -- sound an alarm.

Sincerely,

Alan Korwin, Author

STARTERS



What's In A Word?
Lone wolf. Jihad. Islamist. ISIL. ISIS. Terrorist. Radical muslim jihadi well-trained militant al-Qaeda Yemen-based terrorist. What happened to Sleeper Cells? Did the media just get tired of scaring us with that phrase? Are they out there, still sleeping? What's the alarm clock? Should Americans -- or anyone -- be armed, just in case? Or face it like the French, or Jewish grocery shoppers in Paris?

See one or two of the stories below.


////////


Trevor Loudon--
the author and freedom fighter from New Zealand on a swing through the United States, made these telling comments at a speech I was lucky enough to catch: If America loses its military and economic dominance, the bad guys in the world -- the Russians, Communist Chinese, North Koreans, Cubans, Iran, radical Muslims, Syrians and Iraqis, Marxists running South America and the rest, will carve up this planet, and you can't let that happen. John Kerry is just Jane Fonda with a little less testosterone. Obama has abandoned peace through strength. A good portion of your Congress couldn't pass an FBI security clearance...

He went on to describe how his small nation and the rest of the Western world depend on us, there is no one else. Who's going to step up and protect the free, Canada? Belgium? Japan? Mexico? We're it folks, and the people currently in charge are not only not up to the task, they're virtually traitors to the cause. He really made us think. Google around for his talks, they're on line.


////////


(Roughly): "No person may run for statewide or federal legislative office, or hold such office, without passing and maintaining FBI security clearance sufficient to attend closed-door briefings on matters of statewide or national security matters, respectively." --Trevor Loudon. The guy makes a lot of sense. He argues, among other things, that a significant number of legislators could not gain such clearance and should be removed. That's in addition to ineligibility due to conflict-of-interest and illegal connections to foreign powers. His book, The Enemies Within, documents the controversial and sometimes subversive ties of hundreds of members of Congress.

I am recommending the revival of
political "Salons" here in America.


You want to "DO" something to help fix the nation? Do this.

These classic political gatherings moved political thought ahead during our Founding, in a way we're not getting in this country, and that we sorely need.

I've been attending several ad hoc Salons for quite a while. Read the Wikipedia entry to know more about the classical Salon model. ("A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host...") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_%28gathering%29

Better than Town Halls, perfect for Tea Parties or any social group, they are political brainstorms that tap the wisdom of the entire audience instead of just the words from a podium. And they're enormous fun and exciting.

Tea Parties are an ideal place on a night. After trying it once, I believe it would take off, it's that good. Here's how:

What's the biggest political question on YOUR mind? The issue you think most needs to be addressed? Write it down on a piece of paper. Hand that to the evening's moderator.

When the moderator reads your question to the group, you get a few moments to elaborate, and then one-by-one people speak up about it. One opinion leads to another until issues get pretty well aired (caution -- can get raucous!, moderators must keep control, one voice at a time!). You have to try it to understand, it's active involvement instead of passive. Solutions come up. When things seems ripe, go to the next question.

Yes, quietly listening to someone at a podium is OK.

But variety is spice, and once you add Salon time to your meetings, your speakers will have a hard time getting a word in edgewise. They'll be too busy participating along with everyone. "Participatory Republic." Hmmm.

I am recommending the revival of Salons here in America.
You're Americans. You can do this.
Try it. Once.
Alan.

Sleeper Cells?

The same narrative controllers who insist on leaving out "Hussein" in Barack Hussein Obama, for fear it might have meaning, or upset the American public, have suppressed the middle name of the assassin of two New York City policemen:

Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley

He is being connected with black gangs, but not with muslim forces, despite the suppression of his true name. America is in a global jihad, and the people who control the narrative won't say so, but know it. (Propagandists controlling the narrative similarly show fealty to feminist radicals by using Hillary Rodman Clinton's middle name, to the exclusion of virtually all others.)

The jihad will be televised. As workplace violence. By "a few."

Airline Security:

The civil fines and criminal penalties for bringing the wrong things onto an airplane aren't arbitrary -- there's a menu -- with higher fines depending, for example, on how much gunpowder you have (sneaking under 10 ounces costs less), if your stuff is "artfully" concealed (it's a judgment call), and more (4th item down):

Meet Me At the SHOT Show!

Find me at the largest firearms trade gathering on the planet, in Las Vegas, Jan. 19 - 22, 2015. To meet, leave word at The Riviera Hotel or at the SHOT Show Media Office.

AND --

While we await 'the second coming' of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, under the new leadership of the Second Amendment Foundation, curious minds are wondering what the group's late founder and firebrand Aaron Zelman would say about SHOT Show firearm policy:

"Personal Firearms Prohibited."
"Please remember that Industry Day at the Range policy
and Sands Expo Center policy prohibits the carrying
of personal firearms and ammunition."


Bottom line -- The SHOT Show is a make-believe gun-free zone. (No controlled access or egress, no property detection, anyone can enter with anything, but: "In this building you are protected by this policy, and signs." (Note: the thousands of guns ON DISPLAY have been certified firing-pin free for safety before they can be displayed.) Namaste.


What gets me is the strange balance between a) the safety of
the large NSSF (or any) crowd, with so many guns around,
plus the competence this crowd represents -- being the most
elite in the gun community, give or take, and b) that pernicious
pervasive paranoia propagated poisonously by the popular
media culture to fear guns instead of embrace them: "OMG,
something might happen if so many people have guns!" It's
the same fear boiling out of the fear-filled left. And all that is
pitted inversely against the increased desirability of sizable-
crowd targets to anyone with ill intent, protection against and
deterrence of which is the whole purpose for being armed
in the first place. These policies seem bad from every angle.

1- Demands for gun control after muslims attack Paris

The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


Nothing. There were no demands for gun control after the Paris jihad.



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:


That would be very strange in this country.

American journalists failed to recognize that, unlike the American model, no one in France has called for stricter gun controls, magazine limits or assault-weapon bans after the muslim jihad in Paris this week.

The usual litany of restrictions and gun-ban bills for civilians, which Americans have come to expect in reaction to mass murders here, were never even mentioned throughout Europe.

According to experts, this is partially due to the fact that Europeans by and large already have the bans in place.

It is painfully obvious that the ban on the human and civil right to arms in France did nothing but arm the murderers and leave the dead journalists defenseless when the muslim jihadis came in on foot and attacked. The morbid use of atrocities or the jihad to demand civil-rights denial is a political ploy, not a safety game. It is immoral and deadly.

With any possible first responders at the site of the attack unarmed -- even though they had compelling evidence of imminent mortal threats -- the muslims could kill at will, as in any pretend gun-free zone perpetrated by politicians. Calls for even greater gun control would be pointless, everyone gets that. Three police officers who arrived on the scene early on bicycles, unarmed, simply rode quickly away, according to The Guardian newspaper.

The event points out how utterly corrupt such a call to further disarm the French would be. The foolish or dangerous politicians who might propose such things here in America -- among the greatest bastions of firearms freedom on Earth -- are as dangerous as the murderers we all might face some day.

America is actually ranked only 9th
on the scale of gun freedoms

America is actually ranked only 9th on the scale of gun freedoms, according to The Worldwide Gun Owner's Guide, published by Bloomfield Press. Tiny Liechtenstein, Switzerland and other nations that hardly suffer from such helatious atrocities are ahead of the United States, out of the 64 nations meticulously profiled in the book.


The Worldwide Gun Owner's Guide
All nations have gun laws, shooting ranges, gun clubs and gun rights;
America ranks 9th in gun freedoms, and the situation worldwide is kept secret
in the mainstream. "News" reports about France are basically poppycock,
but their rights are indeed severely repressed, and their rulers have convinced them
they should be unarmed and ready to be shot. Read this book to learn the truth.
Includes ranking and details for 64 nations.

Meanwhile, America awaits official announcement from the White House that this is workplace violence, and that al-Qaeda, whose urgent pleas for lone-wolf attacks have been belittled (but broadcast) by CNN, FOX and the networks non-stop for months, were not linked in any way to the jihad or the Paris murders. So far, the current occupant of the White House has only said that the people involved are "a few."

The identical 12 seconds of shaky amateur rooftop video footage all the broadcasters have, including cut-ins of a bullet hole, shot windshield, and cops standing around or being shot after they're already dead and blurred out for decency, has been playing at a rate of 510 times an hour. This is quite popular with jihadis and in the muslim world, unidentified experts note. According to officials, this does not encourage copycat behavior.

Public faith in traditional "news" media, according to one undisclosed poll conducted at an undisclosed location, has dropped too low to measure.

2- PBS scraps ethics, assaults civil-rights group (NRA)

Invents its own facts to do so



The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


Watch the PBS Documentary "Gunned Down, The Power of the NRA," tonight at 9! Frontline investigates the politics and power of the NRA. The NRA is the most powerful lobby in Washington.



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:


PBS has once again demonstrated its lack of qualifications for public funding by producing another blatant anti-rights propaganda hit piece against a civil-rights organization with which it disagrees, this time the National Rifle Association.

Among the compilation of lies and distortions broadcast, PBS imagines the NRA is the most powerful lobby in Washington. This is emblematic of the rest of the show's integrity and accuracy. Can they truly be so ideologically driven that didn't they think anyone would look?

THE REAL LOBBYING POWERHOUSES:

PBS said (and believes) NRA is the most powerful lobby in Washington.
NRA isn't in the top 20 -- familiar, predictable influence peddlers are.
The accuracy of the rest of the PBS broadcast is similar, virtually zero.
Credit: the Center for Responsive Politics.

It's the same picture by industry -- AGENDA-DRIVEN PBS LIES:



The entire PBS premise is bogus:  fundamental rights of American citizens to defend themselves, own constitutionally protected property or keep and bear arms are in no way measured, as PBS seems to believe, against the angst of people whose lives have been disrupted by heinous criminals murdering innocent people. Conflating crime and individual rights is a sign of hoplophobia, a serious mental illness. This calls for an intervention and medical treatment for PBS staff, not propaganda film production. Maybe they could show good faith and publicly sign up for a permanent personal felony-level gun ban, just to be safe.

Misguided attempts to dispossess the public of private property it already owns, in the name of fighting crime and acted-out psychosis is so misplaced it destroys the station's efficacy as journalists, let alone entitlement to the public dole. Experts believe PBS could not survive without the tax-funded handouts.

The PBS balance-lacking mockumentary is an embarrassment to the writing profession, and while the First Amendment protects them, their right to our money to exercise it should end. The laws that grant PBS funds in the first place violate the separation of press and state. Federal funding of the "Propaganda Broadcasting System" must stop.

Ethics requires a corrections broadcast, but no one expects one.


P.S. I'm not giving anything away here about NRA power either -- Media Matters complained that the broadcast perpetuated the myth that NRA has much power at all. Go figure. NRA is gun owners' main voice in Washington, but it is up against an enormously powerful array of anti-rights enemies of freedom. The real power rests with 100 million gun owners, who vote, contribute, demonstrate, and are armed.

3- Sharpton bigotry exposed but media keeps promoting him


The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


These are direct quotes from The NY Post -- which I was fortunate to see on a recent visit, but which journalists elsewhere lacked the guts to emulate. Journalists everywhere else continue to give Sharpton, a hateful racist bigot, front-page coverage; it's the equivalent of treating the KKK like a national treasure (shortened here for clarity and space):

"Sharpton is a public nuisance. He remains a cop hater to the core, a race man who cannot see past skin color and whose business model is based on using a charge of racism as a negotiating tactic. The corporations buying his silence with their "contributions" ought to be boycotted.

"He's a tax scofflaw who refuses to pay his fair share, thus ripping off his fellow citizens, black and white.

"As The New York Times reported Tuesday, he faces $4.5 million in state and federal tax liens, both personally and through companies he controls. The amounts owed are growing and his shady use of non-profits to enrich himself would make him politically toxic if he were anyone else.

"That brings us to the heart of the problem. Despite Sharpton's shameful conduct, he is a close confidant to the president and the mayor of New York.

"Imagine that -- he stiffs the IRS and stirs the racial pot to boiling but still regularly gets invited to the White House to advise the president who promised to usher in a post-racial society.

"Sharpton was there for the announcement of Obama's nominee to be the new attorney general, Loretta Lynch [The irony of her name is unavoidable -Alan]. That has to flash a chilling message to any honest prosecutor -- Sharpton is above the law.

"And Sharpton brought protesters from Ferguson, Mo., to meet secretly with Obama this month, where the president urged them to stay the course, whatever that means.

"What's repulsive is that Obama and de Blasio use a double standard to elevate Sharpton to a dangerous level. By conferring their personal approval of him, they magnify his power and turn a nuisance into a public menace. They and Sharpton are partially responsible for the violence that has already happened.
   
"There you have it. Agitators are using threats of violence to intimidate the courts. It's low and dirty, but you expect that from Al Sharpton. The tragedy of our times is that the president of the United States is no better."

4- U.S. Senate may cancel the Superbowl
Gun owners (and others) to be stuck with tab



The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


Nothing.



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:


The federal insurance policy that covers mammoth destruction such as major terrorism attacks -- without which the Superbowl cannot be held -- expired on Dec. 31, 2014. Congress closed without renewing it.

The U.S. House of Representatives quickly enacted a poorly drafted Terrorism Risk Insurance Act renewal bill (TRIA), without adequate debate, to renew the policy, then adjourned for the year. Their draft can't be amended.

The U.S. Senate failed to quickly pass the House version of TRIA without any changes and so the policy lapsed. Senator Tom Coburn held it up (with good reason), and Chuck Schumer blamed him in typical partisan style (even though Schumer didn't approve of the bill either).

The private insurance pool isn't large enough to cover that kind of risk (insurers say). They are either backed up by the federal government -- which means gun owners (and non-gun owners too, the entire tax-paying public). My opening headline is a cheap shot for attention. Heh heh. So, there is no coverage.

Critics don't think the public should be on the hook to insure a very rich private sports enterprise. But taxpayer-backed terrorism insurance has been standard for all large-scale projects, even construction, since 2002, you just never knew it, thanks to the "news" media and your "representatives." It's likely Congress will take up the issue again this year before the big game, so our taxes can insure football.

In other news, Las Vegas gamblers continue to make book on every aspect of the game, from the Nielsen ratings for the best ads, to the number of times the quarterbacks' girl friends will be seen on camera, to the first injuries, number of penalties, and of course such mundane issues like who might win and the point spread. Your tax dollars at work.

5- America's gun-murder crisis solved!
News fails to reach Sharpton, Maddow, CNN, networks.



The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:


America has too many "gun deaths," crime in the streets, oh, you've heard the story so many times it's amazing we still repeat it. We've got the highest murder rate in the world*, and it's all because of our gun laws and the gun-show loophole. Someone needs to take all the guns away. We need common-sense gun laws. The powerful gun lobby blocks all gun legislation, that's the problem. Moms are united. A universal background check has the support of everyone and would solve the problem, but Congress refuses to act. [*Note: Completely false, U.S. is 110th, see chart at end.]


The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:


The real truth has come out, again.
It's not about a murder rate.
It's about the black murder rate:


FROM THE ECONOMIST, SEPTEMBER 2014

These facts were revealed by The Uninvited Ombudsman back in 2007 and repeatedly since then, but ignored. Look, if you dare:

https://www.gunlaws.com/GunshotDemographics.htm

The problem is angry fatherless young black males who dress ghetto, listen to outrageously offensive and violent rap and hip-hop sounds (not "music"), idolize and live a gangster lifestyle, encourage each other in this debauched and depraved life, refuse education, and will not be called out by the righteous black man in the White House, whose non-existent son looks like Trayvon (which one?), and few have the guts to say so in so many words:



How the media deceptively portrayed Trayvon Martin
on a flagship national magazine --
years before he was repeatedly suspended
from school and involved in crimes.



How Trayvon portrayed himself on his Facebook page,
before he assaulted a block-watch captain
while suspiciously out in the rain.



When you eliminate black crime in the ghettos and war deaths in the government-run war on some drugs our crime rate is comparable with Scandinavia.

Al Sharpton, the racist agitator handed a prominent spot on a minor national cable TV station for reasons that remain unclear, encourages and advances this behavior, along with most of the rest of the so-called "news" community. They collectively hide these truths from the American public, but the awake portions of the public know it to be true, and the facts bear it out.

There is not "crime in the streets," there is crime in the ghetto, a word everyone knows. It no longer appears in "news" reports however, despite horrific ghettos extant in large American cities, perpetuated by government entitlement programs and "news" media silence and image suppression.

And while we're tearing our hair out about savage islamic butchers killing a few people on the other side of the planet on TV, for every beheading, right here in our midst, we have barbaric beshootings in the head more than every day.

At about 6,000 black ghetto beshootings per year, divided by 365 days per year, that's about 16 every day, hidden from national view, compared with single barbaric acts on the other side of the world, advertised on the "news" for weeks at a time. And then for years, because there are no new ones -- unlike the daily beshootings we ignore, because black lives (apparently) don't matter.

Even a two-year-old involved in a completely freak accident thousands of miles away gets more "news" coverage, all aimed at belittling the right to keep and bear arms, than the 16 black murders that occurred that same day -- and every day since. You see, black lives, obviously, do not matter.

Black beshootings don't count as atrocities, because they are hip-hop rap people who don't count, despite protest signs that falsely declare "black lives matter." Thankfully (to a leftist), they conveniently add to the murder tallies and are useful to rail against the gun rights of the innocent. This builds usable political capital in an effort to disarm the American public, transferring the balance of power to the government.

And now you know, as if you didn't already.

CIA actually lied about things, OMG... CIA insists it gained us critical information, but we might have gotten that anyway...



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Wherever you stand on IF waterboarding and harsh treatment is actually torture or just extremely unpleasant, please do remember it is way at the bottom, compared with islamists' preferences for real torture, with fire, chopping, stabbing, electricity, beatings, rape, dismemberment and things that NOBODY debates is torture.

As to whether this is news or political, it may be news to the American public, but it is not news to the people in the know anywhere in the world. Intelligence agencies of every government that want to know, know what goes on, and they keep their bosses informed. Democrats did the legwork and produced the report without republican input, so the political question need not even be asked. But count on the "news" media to make the nature of the report, rather than its content, the subject of chatter for weeks.

The real question, the one I want to know and that hasn't even been asked, is WHO GOT the $40 million to write this thing? I'm a writer, that's a good fee. In typical style, everybody is crying about the spending, but no one is peeping about the GETTING. Who got $40 million to write 6,000 pages in five years? How many people were on that team? How much access did they have to what exactly? How do you apply for that kind of work? Wouldn't that make interesting news, or should we just keep crying about the cost?

For that matter, I'd like to know who is actually writing our laws -- fingers live on the keys. Now THAT'S a real issue, 'cause it sure ain't the legislators, they don't even read it. THAT'S where the real power has migrated to in this country. Every turn of phrase, every mountain of conditions, who exactly is filling out that paperwork, which we will all be bound to at the point of a gun? And I've asked, and no one knows. The best answer I can get, is "staff." Hmmm.

That much money covers a lot of things. According to critics, this is because so-called "reporters" have no idea what's in the bill.

That's because, according to analysts, the people who passed the bill have no idea what's in it, because they haven't read it.

They didn't read it, because they didn't write it.

When asked, they couldn't tell anyone who did write it. "Staff" was the best answer anyone could come up with.

No names could be associated with the word "staff," in an ongoing controversy that was not being investigated by anyone as we went to press.

Taxation without representation has become taxation without identity.

Don't ask. Don't tell.

You want a Pulitzer-prize winning story, you reporters? Write that.

8- Shadowy gun groups influence "news" media


The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

Americans for Responsible Solutions
Everytown for Gun Safety
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
Illegal Mayors Against Guns



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

These names keep popping up in the "news," but who are they exactly? Do they have memberships? Are they "real" or are they empty shell constructs of some power broker, unquestioned by the "news" media? Why do they command such high-profile positions in the media? How did they burst onto the scene so rapidly?

Is the media doing its job vetting them? Should their membership lists be publicly revealed like gun-permit lists reporters periodically release or attempt to release? Why do those groups receive such credible and plausible coverage, when time-honored and long-standing constitutionally based groups in every state and nationally are routinely trashed by the same reporters and editors?

Should the licenses and registrations of reporters and editors be subject to official inquiries? Oh, that's right, they don't have any.

Those questions unfortunately have truly ugly answers, because the named groups are little more than hastily constructed propaganda vehicles created by a small handful of insanely rich power-brokers led by former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and allies. And everyone knows it. The media's lack of ethics shines brightly through that smokescreen.

The media and the shell groups are exercising a misplaced vendetta against the fundamental human and civil right to keep and bear arms, in the false belief that by placing all gunpowder in the hands of the government and the police we will all be safer. (Some black people have less faith in that plan.)

The media knows this but ignores it its headlong rush to praise "the establishment" and vilify and crush the very rights that protect their right to publish the filth they propagate. The level of distortion associated with this "news" coverage would win awards, if journalism awards were given for such categories as distortion, misinformation, lack of balance, and failure to accurately inform on subjects of critical importance to the American republic. Calls for a U.S. Dept. of Accuracy (DOA) were unheeded at press time.

TEMPUS FUGIT
by Lawrence Lee Rowe
Only $20, hardcover
add_to_cart.gif  view_cart.gif

Summary: Washington, Jefferson and Franklin find themselves inexplicably transported to the future (our time), and explore the country they launched two centuries earlier. I loved it. A fascinating examination of the Founders’ original values and hopes, contrasted beautifully with where we are today. Deeply insightful, amazing confrontations, a true masterpiece.

Everyone who reads this loves it.

What would happen if those three Founders suddenly materialized in the modern world? What would they think? Had their plan for a new nation built on liberty succeeded? Incredibly well researched (he tastefully uses some of their letters to create the current dialog!), you get a deep sense of each Founder’s style, as they discover what America has become in 225 years...

The three suddenly find themselves in a forest, a dangerous place in Colonial times, where savages could attack at any moment. What were Washington’s first words? “I’m unarmed.” Jefferson responds, “Me too.” After seeing how the Constitution has been amended and mismanaged, and how the nation has devolved, they come to realize, only Franklin would still be eligible to be elected president...

Texas gun laws have changed -- a lot.

New hotel rules; Guns-in-vehicles laws changed; "Inadvertent Display Law";

Preemption and school grounds; "Reveal and relinquish your gun" law;
"Defensive Display" law; CHL training has been overhauled...

If you have this book without the flag colors and red emblem on the cover you're out-of date.

Texas DPS is no longer approving training materials, and they
no longer provide the type of support they did when the CHL program started.

After You Shoot:
Your gun's hot. The perp's not. Now what?

I can boil down my 13th book to this:

Before you drop the hammer, remember:
You will write a check for your life savings to your lawyer.
Don't do that unless your life depends on it.

Don't forget:

• It's always better to avoid a gunfight than to win one.

• It's always better to win one than to lose one.

• If innocent life doesn't immediately depend on it, don't shoot.

• And if it does, don't miss.

Hi Alan, Congratulations on winning the “Guns Save Lives” case!!
http://www.trainmeaz.com
 
While I appreciate the concealed carry laws in this state, having come from California several years ago, I was wondering why it's a virtual requirement to be driving a motor vehicle in order to carry legally. Let me explain. If you want to go into a business that doesn't allow weapons it's a simple matter to just lock it up in your vehicle.
 
If you choose to ride a bicycle, what do you do? It's difficult to securely lock your weapon on a bicycle. If you choose to walk, what then?
 
I find these restrictions ridiculous and dangerous. You're probably MORE likely to need protection when you're walking or riding your bike than when you're driving a motor vehicle. This is one of the reasons my bike is collecting dust. I don't even know what kind of laws would remedy this, but thank you for reading my email. -Michael S.

[Here's the solution -- Diplomatic Carry. https://www.gunlaws.com/DiplomaticCarry.htm It's going to still take a while. But the worse the jihad gets, the more the public will demand its right to remain armed and defensible, IMHO.

[There's also a related massive issue surrounding the blatant denial of civil rights by property owners, a real conundrum. From a libertarian point of view, a store owner should be able to deny entry to anyone at all (like gun owners), because after all, who owns the store, the owner or the government?

But you can no longer say no blacks, no women, no fatties, no gays, no uglies, no people with incurable contagious diseases like AIDS... in fact, every oddball interest group claims a "right" to trample on the private property rights of store owners, and demand access. So how is it a person exercising the "specific, enumerated right" (District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 628 n.27 (2008)) of bearing arms can be banned from entry? I'd say that ship has sailed, and keeping a person out just because they possess constitutionally protected property is and ought to be illegal -- until property rights are restored across the board. But what do I know. What do you think? Alan.]

(Responding to the promo for my book, "Your First Gun"):
ARF, ARF  ! ! !
One thing : The U S A is RICH in NUTS of all sorts ! ! !
How about the gal who killed herself and nearly killed her boyfriend (wrecked his auto) after arming herself in Ferguson : Tsk, tsk, tsk  !  !  !
The average U S citizen these days is barely able to find his way out of a wet paper bag -- but  YOU expect HIM to handle weapons safely ? ?  . Chuckle, chuckle  ! ! !
CHUCKLE ! ! . Go do something at least SLIGHTLY useful, whydoncha ? ? -Allen W.

[You seem like a mildly entertaining individual Mr. W. -- dog barking, sound effects, extra punctuation, broad-brush condemnation of your fellow Americans, and you missed the subtitle of my book -- 60 million safely armed American homes. Do you know how many crimes are prevented by your neighbors, or do you just obsess about the other side of the balance sheet, the side the "news" media propels into your awareness daily? What would you consider useful? Would you dare read my book, perhaps get educated, and then comment? Alan.]

Hi Alan. Thank you for your emails / books / information.   I am working to get a better understanding on “large capacity magazines”  (in California), and more particularly in the California Gun laws book Page 369 J. 1. (1) “A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds...” The question is how to define “permanently altered”? A number of retailers are selling Standard Capacity magazines with a metal “rivet” limiting the capacity to 10. Assuming that is legal, would a “plastic” rivet also be legal? Any help or referral to a resource would be greatly appreciated. -Randy B.

[This is the best there is: California Gun Laws by Chuck Michel. https://www.gunlaws.com/CGL.htm, and you can reach the author on the copyright page. When these things are challenged they go to court and a precedent gets set, with someone's butt on the line, and that helps narrow things down a bit. I don't think rivet-type issue has risen to that level yet, so you really don't know for sure. Bottom line though is this: Remember, people without honor, enforcing laws, can and will do whatever they please regardless of law. Hey, nothing is permanent, right?

In answer to the common question, "When is a law constitutional?" --

"Believe nothing,
no matter where you read it
or who has said it, not even if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense."
--Buddha

"Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws,
so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

THE KORWIN POLL

Q: Should politically incorrect garbage like this be banned?

A Male Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?"

The Princess said, "No!!!"   And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and dated skinny long-legged full-breasted women and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and banged cheerleaders and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was frikin' cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up. The End.

__ YES

__ NO

(After a letter and a reply, too long to include here, arguing about the threat of communism, and Clinton's role in downplaying it):
P.S. BTW, I am sitting in the Cathay Pacific lounge at the Hong Kong airport (communist China) as I am writing to you right now. I am no fan of the Chinese regime and am aware of the repressive actions of the government here recently. Nonetheless, there is little evidence of communism as I sit here. Brooks H.

[Please don't make me argue with you about China's brutal dictatorship and totalitarian political system, even if their airport is nice and their managed adoption of capitalism to save their failing economy has had benefits. Besides, Hong Kong isn't the mainland, as you well know my friend. Try handing out Bibles or wearing a Falun Gong T-shirt at an airport on the continent and then write back to tell me the result, if you can. Alan.]

[Nope. And reciprocity itself is a risky business. Works best mainly because you don't get noticed. You're supposed to have rights and instead you have some shaky list. Sorry. Get active politically and help fix the mess and arrest the politicians who made it so. -Alan.]
