Clutching Your Guns in Maryland - Activist Edition!
Between
now and October 1st is your last best chance to acquire firearms and ammunition
before “the O’Malley Gun Ban” becomes fully implemented. Although the federal
attempt to do much the same to all of these United States stalled in Congress,
Marylanders will be treated to their own special tyranny.
This
takes me back to my firearms roots; memories flash as I worry for future
generations that may be treated oppressively as in New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut.
Respect
for firearms and our God-given Constitutional protections, as afforded by our
Founding Fathers in their eternal wisdom, has been a pet subject of mine for
some 37 years, as I became a proud gun owner with eyes wide open at the earliest
legal age.
At 18 I
bought a .22 Magnum bolt-action rifle from a friend for plinking – legally
without any paperwork needed. Purchased a 7mm Magnum Mark X shortly thereafter
from Best Products with all of the proper gun transfer forms for a new purchase,
and a lever action Model 1894 .44 Magnum rifle to boot.
On my
21st birthday I acquired a Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 9mm automatic pistol –
nickel plated – from Herman’s Sporting goods in Rockville. And so it
began.
Today I
have purchased and sold many a classic firearms treasure. Some I have documented
on the earliest pages of my gun blog www.MyFavoriteGunPics.blogspot.com.
Blogging came to me quite naturally well before 9/11,
but really took on a life of its own then. Clearly firearms and the Second
Amendment needed active protection in a “use it or lose it” fashion; so I
actively obliged!
Before
long the National Rifle Association’s Chris Cox asked me to write a local
article for their NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislation Action) monthly
publication. My picture was included along with that of featured Senator Richard
Shelby (R) of Alabama.
Yet I
digress...
I urge
every capable Marylander who has ever had an urge to purchase a firearm to do so
shortly – certainly before October 1st to avoid the nightmare. At that time,
handguns will be next to impossible to obtain legally.
You
would suffer a months’ long backlog of processing, fees, forced fingerprinting
at a State Police barracks, mandatory hands-on training at your expense at a
certified facility – not even close to being available at the present, and
shortages of the guns themselves due to demand.
As long
as you have placed your orders prior to the exaction date of the new Maryland
legislation, you will be okay to lawfully possess a handgun ahead of the new
restrictions.
Collect
ammunition in the calibers you intend to use (consider .22, .40, .223, .308, and
various 12-gauge shotgun shells) any time in the future, even before you obtain
the rifle, shotgun, or pistol itself. This will be hard, as shelves are bare and
product is rationed to retailers because of Department of Homeland Security
contracts written in order to deny you an ability to stockpile. In any type of
civil insurrection, ammunition would be an ideal item to barter
with.
As we
now know from the recent Internal Revenue Service investigation and other
scandals in our government, what happens behind the screen of power – which is
proven to be anything but transparent – will not be explained to you. When it
is, it will be a distortion. We must judge by what we observe, as opposed to
what we are told, and deduce our actions from that
perspective.
Steps
are being taken to disarm the American people. Government fears the people and
seeks to control them more with each passing opportunity. Checks and balances
and oversight by Congress have failed and have been corrupted.
Something is going to happen. Something the government
projects and anticipates, but will not explain. A breakdown of society? A
financial disaster causing a run on banks and grocery stores as individual
states become insolvent and seek aid that is not available. U.S. currency
devalued and refused as the worlds “reserve currency?” Inflation causing massive
food shortages? Continued moral disintegration and flight from religion that
binds honest men?
Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins has shared on
several occasions that local law enforcement cannot protect the people all by
itself. Law enforcement has become reactive and is losing an ability to be
protective by the day. The people must become more self-sufficient as budgets
are cut and meager resources are spread thin. Currently our Sheriff’s Department
is already covering for Maryland State Police shortages in certain
areas.
To
compound the problem, Britain’s MI-6 Military Chief (their FBI) recently stated:
“We cannot protect you [the people] against Muslim terror attacks.” This is all
the more chilling as a London soldier was beheaded in a terrorist attack and it
took the Bobbies 20 minutes to respond.
Followers of the Obama Administration’s agenda have
noted that socialist tendencies now are permeating our great nation. We are
becoming more like Europe every day. Our pattern of accepting illegal
immigration is exactly like theirs. Sweden is under armed attack almost daily
now; cars ablaze.
The
future will belong to those most prepared, and most aware of where we are
headed. Activism in all forms is essential to protect our greatness against a
tide that would dilute our culture and make us a tad bit too
global.
Wake
up. You have been warned. Tell a friend.
Forward this!.............. >>>>> http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5801
