They have mortgages in the south? Is that what you mean?
You don’t ever take business loans or mortgages? That’s funny.
You’re unbelievably unsophisticated. Lots of fancy words, though.
Who’s your boss? An insurance company?

Yup. And they boss your bank who bosses you in to putting your equity in jail while you pay them to do so.
 


Commonsense Gun Control is Nazism

In February, 2018, New York Times columnist Brett Stephens ran an article titled, “To Repeat: Repeal the Second Amendment.” We occasionally hear such pleas in the aftermath of some shooting that shocks our sensibilities. The basic gist of the article, summarized by Stephens on MSNBC later that year, was that the Second Amendment had long past used up its purpose- to secure liberty.





Stephens was calling people like Madison fools. In Federalist #46, Madison wrote that “the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation” is what made the new Republic unique and free. This was written before the Second Amendment was proposed, written, and ratified. It was placed second in the Bill of Rights for a reason. The “right to bear arms” was as fundamental as the right to free speech and a trial by jury.

In 1789, the original draft of the French Declaration of Rights contained a similar right to bear arms for the common, or personal defense. Unfortunately, this provision of the draft declaration never made the final cut. The result was the horrid Reign of Terror. Revolutionary republicans in Germany in 1848 sought a similar provision, but were beaten down by the old order fearing a loss of power.





Because these countries had no equivalent of a Second Amendment, it was easy to pass “commonsense gun legislation,” the Orwellian term we hear today. And nowhere was this more apparent than in Germany.

In the 1920’s, the Weimar Republic decreed universal gun registration. They warned that such records should never fall into the wrong hands. In 1933, Hitler seized power in Germany; the records fell into the worst of “wrong hands.” Starting almost immediately, the Nazis used the lists to disarm political adversaries. By 1938, they were used to disarm all Jews. By the time of Kristallnacht, Hitler had managed to disarm more than 500,000 Jews resulting in no resistance to the mayhem that resulted. In the aftermath, a decree was sent out not to issue a gun permit to any Jew. In November, 1938 the New York Times reported that in Germany, a law had been passed where any Jew found in possession of a weapon would be sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. This is what passed for “commonsense gun laws” in Nationalist Socialist jargon.





The following year, Hitler invaded Poland. One of the first edicts in the occupied areas was confiscation of firearms within 24 hours. Anyone found in possession of a firearm thereafter was executed or thrown in a concentration camp. In 1935, French Prime Minister Pierre Laval decreed gun registration. Five years later, the Nazis upon overrunning France used those lists to disarm the population. Again, failure to do so within 24 hours usually resulted in execution. France in 1935 had done the job for the Nazis.





After France fell to the Nazis, Britain was very much afraid they would be next. This led to Churchill’s stirring “We shall fight on the beaches” speech. At the same time, he was pleading with Americans to contribute arms and binoculars to help save the British. The New York Times at the time teamed up with the NRA in a campaign to “Send a gun to defend a British home.”





Today, how Europe has changed! The United Kingdom now virtually bans the private ownership of firearms. The European Union now decrees “universal gun registration.” Despite the lessons of history, Germany was the first country to gladly go along. The EU now seeks to ban what they define as “semiautomatic weapons” and standard magazines because they hold more cartridges than the Brussels-approved amount. Meanwhile, Islamic terrorists have run amok killing people with guns, bombs and trucks.





In 1941, Congress passed the Property Requisition Act. The government, in anticipation of war, authorized the government to take certain property from industry. The one thing the law specifically forbade was gun registration, thus reaffirming Second Amendment rights.

Today, gun registration and prohibition schemes are described as benign, progressive, and “commonsense.” We are told that the government is inherently good and there is nothing to fear. The records will remain in “the right hands.”





We heard these words a century ago in the Weimar Republic. It is the Second Amendment that stands in the way of the Weimar Republic- American style. It is not some relic of the 18th century. It is what separates the United States from tyranny. It is also what keeps history from repeating itself.

Florida Democrat Admits She Lied About Treating Pulse Shooting Victims

A Florida Democrat who ended her candidacy for a State House seat in late June admitted to authorities that she lied about treating the Pulse shooting victims as a medical doctor, according to documents from Florida’s Department of Health obtained Wednesday.

“I lied,” Elizabeth McCarthy told investigators, Florida Politics reported. “It is a false statement.”

McCarthy, 50, claimed throughout her campaign that she was a doctor who practiced at Orlando Regional Medical Center as a cardiologist the night of the mass shooting at the LGBT nightclub in 2016.

“I personally removed 77 bullets from 32 people … It was like an assembly line,” McCarthy claimed at a gun safety event earlier this year.
 
Betcha’ Didn’t Know: Firearm Homicides Plummeted over Last 25 Years

Despite endless gun violence reports put forward by the establishment media, the dirty little secret is firearm homicides have plummeted over the past 25 years.

Yet most Americans, particularly Democrats, believe firearm murders have risen period.

Washington Post analysis shows Democrats, followed closely by independents, are more apt to believe firearm murders have increased. And this feeds the Democrat psyche which is already more prone to support an expansion of gun control laws.

But the reality is that the high water mark for firearm murders was 1994 while 2017, the most recent year with complete data on incidents, shows a sharp drop. There were “16,136 [firearm murders] in 1994” but only “10,982” in 2017.

And if looked at in terms of the murder rate, instead of simply the raw murder numbers, the drop in firearm homicides is even more evident.

For example, the FBI calculated “6.2 firearm murders per 100,000 people” in 1994, while the murder rate in 2017 was 3.38. And the murder rate was even lower than 3.38 in 2014.

An interesting correlation with the drop in firearm murders is the incredible expansion of private firearm ownership. In other words, the number of privately-owned firearms was increasing at the same time that the number of firearm murders was plummeting.

On December 4, 2013, Breitbart News reporteda Congressional Research Service study showing “gun ownership climbed from 192 million firearms in 1994 to 310 million firearms in 2009.” At the same time, the “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate was cut in half over a roughly 17-year time period.
