Drones you say......

Some crib notes from folks with extensive experince on the recieving end of drones had their notes published.The article is found in the Telegraph (link) which links to a copy of the notes found in Mali by the AP. As the article notes that:

 "some of the tips are outdated or far-fetched, taken together, they suggest the Islamists in Mali are responding to the threat of drones with sound, common-sense advice that may help them to melt into the desert in between attacks, leaving barely a trace."

""These are not dumb techniques. It shows that they are acting pretty astutely," said Col Cedric Leighton, a 26-year-veteran of the United States Air Force, who helped set up the Predator drone program, which later tracked Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan."

Since the regime is learning from the war in the sandbox, it makes interesting reading for those of us who live here under the domestic drones. 

 Pro 2nd Amendment Boycott - P2AB

(Verbatium (well I did fix some typo's!))

P2AB is a grass roots movement designed to allow each and every gun owner to know exactly which businesses support the 2nd amendment unconditionally. A business supports the 2nd amendment unconditionally or we do not support it with our purchases.

P2AB started when reports that Mayor R.T. Bybak of Minneapolis, Minnesota and 60 other mayors decided that they were going to stop purchttp://www.p2ab.org/haces from their suppliers that were supporting the 2nd amendment and contributing money in support of those groups opposing gun control. The idea of 
P2AB is based on something Ronnie Barrett of Barrett Firearms Manufacturing wrote several years ago regarding California's decision to make .50 caliber rifles illegal for Californians to own.

The idea of P2AB is very simple. Any firearm manufacturer, ammunition manufacturer, magazine manufacturer, accessory manufacturer, dealer or retailer that conducts business with Minneapolis, the other 60 cities in "Rybak's Gang" or New York City's Mayor Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns is choosing them as a customer over the gun community.

We are the gun culture. We are the gun community. We will ONLY buy the products of those companies that support the 2nd amendment as strongly as we do! If any firearms related business sells their products or services to those who support further infringing on our 2nd amendment rights then they will get no more of our business. You support the 2nd amendment and do not support those who want to infringe on our 2nd amendment rights or we will boycott you. It is your business, you may run it as you please and sell to whomever you please. As consumers it is our choice to purchase from whomever we please. Who purchases more from you? Is it those who want to infringe our 2nd amendment rights or is it hard working Americans?

If you are a retailer who sells products from those manufacturers on our boycott list we will not do business with you.

For too long we have been given in and allowed "reasonable" restrictions to infringe on our 2nd amendment rights. For too long we have taken no long-term day-to-day action to protect our 2nd amendment rights. That changes now. We will be single minded in all that we do, whether it is our purchases or our voting - you either support the 2nd amendment unconditionally or we do not support you. We will not buy from you. We will not vote for you.

As of February 4, 2013 P2AB is a new grass roots movement. We will start off with "Rybak's Gang" and Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns as well as retailers. In the future we will expand that list as the grassroots movement decides.

I have been offline for a bit, seems with the snow, the farm, and my regular job, posting has lagged behind. But we're still here...


Catching up, it seems the Virginia Citizens Defense League did great work in fighting off a number of anti-gun bills in Virginia, early in the session this season. However, the Governor has since reported out of his taskforce a couple of bills now in the Senate that need to be defeated. SB 1377 and SB 1378 must go down in flames.

Recently the Gun Owners of America issued the strategy we must adopt...."Defeat Every Word of Gun Control"  (Link Here)

Take the GoA advice........if your in Virginia, contact the Governor and your Senators...now.

This is the email alert I received from the National Association for Gun Rights today:

Governor Bob McDonnell has sent forward two anti-gun measures that are currently making their way through the Virginia Senate.

Even though the Governor's special taskforce on school safety had some good legislation to work with, they've decided to move in the OPPOSITE direction -- away from safety and away from freedom.

Instead, Governor McDonnell is pushing these anti-gun measures:

SB 1377 turns you into a criminal for defending yourself at a college or university. Under this bill, any law-abiding adult who defends herself on campus would almost certainly face a class 3 felony charge, EVEN in a clear-cut self-defense case.

SB 1378 increases the potential criminal penalties for buying and transferring guns; meaning that law-abiding Virginians could be slapped under a microscope, locked up for 10 years and fined up to $100,000, for virtually any non-government sanctioned firearms sale.

If we are going to halt these awful bills from becoming laws, pro-gun citizens like you and me must rally and make sure the Governor knows where the people of the Commonwealth stand.

Call Governor McDonnell's office at (804) 786-2211 as soon as you can and tell him to stop proposing bills that trash the 2nd Amendment AND make law-abiding people less safe.

Unfortunately, the Senate is moving quickly to force these anti-gun bills through before you can respond. You must take action immediately!

SB 1377 and SB 1378 are both headed to the full Senate for a floor vote in the next few days.

After you contact the Governor, please take the time to contact your Virginia State Senator and voice your opposition to both SB 1377 and SB 1378.
 
Here are links It has been some

"Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and relatives of victims of fatal shootings in Chicago urged President Barack Obama on Saturday to come back to his hometown and address the gun violence plaguing the city".(link)

So Jackson wants the federal DHS to come save Chicago......I can hear Darth Vader in my head..."The failure and envelopment of the city of Chicago is complete". 

The citizens, or better said subjects, have been trained over several generations to accept living in crime, graft, and a police state. They repeatedly have voted for governments based on legalized criminal behavior. So today, being fully dependent on the largess of the government has so degraded the society that there is no society, only the worn out shell left from the late 19th and early 20 centuries. The streets are inhabited by uniformed and un-uniformed gangs who protect to system for the well off at the expense of the less off. Those in the middle, the so called middle class is taxed and squeezed to pay for the system, sacrificed as necessary. Adding the neo-nazi police state DHS as enforcers and occupiers is only the next and final step in its conversion to the new "Warsaw".......welcome to "socialist utopia"....

My question to the middle class is "what the" ? Why are you still there? If you love freedom, move, otherwise you are no better than the masters and slaves around you. I suggest you move now, before moving requires papers.....
 
A word of advice.....only move out if you understand personal freedom, self reliance and self value.If your just another socialist trying to get your cut of the graft, stay there. The rest of the county does not need your ignorance......

(the photos by the way is Berlin, 1933...German police keeping Berliners safe....) 

Up in the city of brotherly love (wow, in 2013, that can have a very different meaning than when coined many years ago!)   the Assault Bow is born......((link here)

"Meanwhile, 25-year-old Timothy Canfield, who was not involved in the initial altercation, went outside carrying a compound bow and a quiver of arrows. Canfield then shot Paulsen in the stomach with an arrow."

Paulson died by the way.

So here is the deal....anyone can purchase an assault bow...no permit, no license, no background check, not even an age limit. They are marketed to children by placing them right out in the open in stores like Gander Mountain and Walmar or even over the internet!.....Ammunition is even widely avaiable and it comes in quivers.....not just one, but quivers of them!

Solution...well every Indian fighter will tell you...ban them bows, and if they refuse to give up, hunt those people down, rip them out of their homes, take their land, lie to them, and force them to surrender.....or kill them. Whichever comes first....that is the American way of justice....Federal style.

The Statement of Montgomery County, Virginia Sheriff

In response to being asked if they would support the Second Amendment....
this was the statement on their Facebook page on Jan 30th (2013):

"We have had several folks contact us to ask our position regarding the 2nd amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Here is a copy of the resolution passed by Virginia Sheriffs in 2009, our position has not changed." 

So then what did the VSA have to say way back in 2009? Well this is what was posted by the Montgomery County Sheriff on reporting what VSA said:

So how about that, the Montgomery County Virginia Sheriff and in fact the Va Sheriff Association is "concerned".We know they are "concerned" because they have expressed a "sense of concern"......

 Frankly,  I have not seen such a strongly worded statement of support since Neville Chamberlain returned to Britain in 1938....Clearly, that oath to defend and protect the constitution is not a big stumbling block.

Well, let me say thank you very much. No doubt if it comes to DHS dropping by to get some back up, that concern will be a very robust defense and they will just run right back to the holes they crawled out of...(Hopefully that concern won't endanger any of those grants and federal equipment perks currently a big concern for the democrats in Richmond tonight........)

Well at least now we know your position.....thanks for that...

If you live in that county, I suggest you write and phone the Sheriff. let them know you appreciate their deep commitment to their oaths.....or not. In fact if you live in Va, I recommend you ask your Sheriff about their stand.....

UPDATE: Rather than respond to questions, it seems the Montgomery Sheriffs Department has taken that entry down from their webpage.....now that speaks volumes.

January 16, 2013

The Honorable Barak Obama

President United States of America

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Washington D.C. 20500

          Dear Mr. President,

My name is Charles M. Heiss and I am the Sheriff of Johnson County, Missouri.  I have held this office since January 1, 1997.  I am writing to you to express my concern with the tone of your administration with respect to the Second Amendment Rights of American citizens.  It appears to me and many Americans that there is a genuine desire on the part of your administration to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law abiding American citizens in the interest of curbing gun violence in our nation.

Throughout our nations history the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights has served as the very foundation of our free society.  The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution has long guaranteed our citizens the right to keep and bear arms and is central to our ability to live in a free society.  Any attempt to restrict these Second Amendment rights through executive order is unconstitutional and tantamount to an all out assault on the United States Constitution.  Just as the Fourth Amendment to the constitution guarantees our citizens the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure, the Second Amendment guarantees each of us the right to keep and bear arms to protect ourselves from anyone who would seek to cause us harm.  This includes the federal Government.

World history has shown us that when a society does not possess the ability to defend itself it becomes ripe for victimization by criminals, and ripe for government oppression.  One need not look too far in today’s world to see glaring examples of defenseless people being brutalized by rogue regimes and dictators. Syria, North Korea, and Mali are just a few examples of this type of oppression. Mexico is a stark reminder of a society overrun with criminal element in the form of Drug Cartels.

As the duly elected Sheriff of Johnson County, Missouri, it is my sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitutions of the United States of America, and the State of Missouri against all enemies both foreign and domestic. This means I not only have the duty to protect my constituents from incidents of crime, but I also have a duty and responsibility to protect and preserve the individual rights and liberties afforded and guaranteed to every citizen by our constitutions.  This, Mr. President is a duty I fully understand, appreciate, and will carry out with great vigor and conviction.  I will most certainly urge my fellow Sheriffs in the State of Missouri and across this great nation to rise to the defense and aid of all Americans should the federal government attempt to enact any legislation, or executive order that impedes, erodes, or otherwise diminishes their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.  I will use all means legal to meet this solemn and sacred responsibility.

Respectfully,

Charles M. Heiss

Sheriff Johnson County, Missouri
