As the NYPD stationed
officers outside movie theaters to guard against copycat shooters, Mayor
Bloomberg said it was time for Americans to demand answers to the gun
crisis from their political leaders.
Our Joe Kemp and Tracy Connor report:
"Soothing words are nice, but maybe it's time that the two people who
want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they
are going to do about it," Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show.
"I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it's just got to stop.
"And instead of the two people -- President Obama and Gov. Romney --
talking ... about they want to make the world a better place, okay, tell
us how."
Bloomberg's call to action on his WOR show with John Gambling came
hours after a lone gunman turned a Colorado cinema showing "The Dark
Knight Rises" into a shooting gallery.
The massacre, which left 12 dead, appeared to be an isolated atrocity.
The video you will see on this web site
is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are
beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and
government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.
The
law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local
mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it
opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what
the Second Amendment means.
You've seen this brand of abuse of
freedom in the history books—in the pages about days of gun
confiscations leading to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd
never in a million years think it could happen in America.
Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:
"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."
Thousands
of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The
police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed
in and seized them.
With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!
Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms.
Even
though NRA secured a court order demanding their immediate and
unconditional return, almost every single confiscated firearm remains
locked in government trailers.
With the stroke of a pen, Mayor
Nagin and Police Superintendent Compass are getting away with "murder"—a
savaging of the second, fourth and fourteenth amendments of our
Constitution. And they have put America on notice that they're going to
keep seizing lawfully owned guns under any pretense.
New Orleans
gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with serial numbers of
their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his band of anti-gunners to
respect the Federal courts.
They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats
who say serial numbers aren't enough—and that gun owners now need PROOF
OF PURCHASE of these firearms.
How many of those gun owners do you
think had original receipts for those firearms? And even if they did,
how many do you think could find those receipts in the wreckage of a
hurricane?
Many of these firearms were passed down from father to
son, generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are
collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully owned and
they must be returned to their owners.
With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!

Government representatives from more than 190 countries, under the watchful eyes of gun control advocates such as Amnesty International and the Control Arms Coalition, are currently in negotiations at the United Nations headquarters in New York to hammer out the terms of the first UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The treaty is supposed to fill the gap caused by the absence of commonly agreed international standards for the transfer of conventional arms, including guns, and their diversion to the illicit market.
Negotiators are working feverishly towards completing their work so that a treaty will be ready to be signed by the end of this month. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may be in New York for the occasion.
”One such working draft of possible treaty language, dated July 14, 2012, tried to assuage the concerns of gun rights proponents, particularly in the United States, that the treaty would interfere with their constitutional right to keep and bear arms. It did so by affirming in its preamble “the sovereign right of States to determine any regulation of internal transfers of arms and national ownership exclusively within their territory, including through national constitutional protections on private ownership.” ”
”Ironically, the Obama administration can be expected to use the results of its own horribly botched Fast and Furious escapade, which led to the unaccounted for diversion of weapons that government agents were supposed to track on the way to Mexican cartels, as justification for strict regulations imposed on gun possession and sale by private individuals within the United States.” Continued…
