The National Firearms Act

We need to toss out the NFA. It’s rubbish and completely useless.
Smoothbore handguns are illegal… But the Taurus Judge is okay.
Shotguns shorter than 18 inches are the spawn of Lucifer, but a 16″ .45-70 is perfectly fine.
Calibers larger than .50 are bad… But you get exceptions left and right.
Full auto is a no-no, but Slide Fire stocks are good to go.
None of this makes any sense.  It’s just stupid… Like all national gun laws.
I can’t sell a .22 pistol to someone from across a line on a map, even if they live in the same valley… State line… But I can sell them all the AR-15, .300 Ultra Mags, or tactical shotguns that they could ever want.
The laws don’t make any sense… But we have to follow them.  Laws written by the most ignorant if people about things they know nothing about… But they are still laws.  The Shoulder Thing That Goes Up.
We need to remove the NFA and all National Gun Laws.

Permits

Congratulations to Maryland.  A Federal Judge has deemed their unfair and restrictive permitting system to be unconstitutional.  We’very yet to see what actual changes this will bring to that state… But its positive… A step in the right direction.
Congratulations to my Brother for finally getting his permit paperwork done… He too will soon have his permit.
Another step in the right direction. 
But where is this direction heading?  What is the goal?
How about living in a free country where we don’t need a permit to exercise a constitutional right?  It’s a right, not a privilege… We don’t have Church Permits… Speech Permits… A pass from Quartering troops.  But the one right that specifically says Shall Not Be Infringed, so boldly… is chained around the neck with Permits.
We don’t require permits to buy beer… Permits to engage in vice… To have babies… But to carry with you the means if self defense we’ve allowed our states to infringe upon us.
I call upon every State Representative in Utah, and every other State, to drop all permits and recognize the Second Amendment at face value… Adopt Constitution Carry and recognize that right for citizens of other States.

The Catholic Vote

Every time I turn on a Talk Radio station, I’m hearing about Obama Administrations SNAFU with the Catholics. You’ve all heard of this already, I’m sure, so I’m not going to rehash it. But basically the Obamistration is telling the Catholic Church that they must go against their faith and do something they believe to be wrong. A clear violation of the First Amendment. This is a Freedom Of Religion issue. Forcing them to go against their religion is not freedom for it. Compulsion, regardless of reason or purpose, is an ugly thing. This is going to effect not just the Catholics, but all Faiths. As such, all Faiths are outraged.
For example, if you believe homosexuality is wrong, the administration is saying you have to. That’s going against a principle of your faith. Now the administration is saying that they can compromise. Okay, so now instead of going all out in an act you believe is wrong, they are saying “Okay, just put the tip in”. Yeah, that’s not going to work either… The only thing that is going to be acceptable is a complete reversal of the order.
Here’s the thing though… The talking heads are all saying that the Catholics are going to all vote against Obama now and the Democrats and this is going to really hurt them. I don’t think that’s going to pan out. Looking bad, yes. Hurt them? Maybe a little. Because when it comes right down to it, Democrats regardless of faith is still going to vote Democrat. Catholics vote 54% to 60% for the Democrats depending on who you listen to. Democrats have always supported Planned Parenthood, Abortion Rights, and the distribution of contraceptives at schools. Yet the majority of Catholics have been still voting in favor of the Democrats. This isn’t going to change because of the guy in the Oval Office all the sudden. Sure, they crossed the line. But those that don’t vote their convictions will just move that line.
Here’s the way I see it. If you are a Good Catholic, or a Good Mormon… as the Policies of those Churches dictate – you can not vote Democrat because you are voting against your faith.

Sidekicks.

Forget the normal politics of the Primaries… Let’s look at the possible Sidekick options.  I mean, who is capable of filling Joe Biden’s shoes?  The man has been an ICON.  He has offered so much for all of us to enjoy.  Who can do this? Who can be a Presidential Comedic Sidekick?

Dennis Miller?  No, he’s too smart.
Larry the Cable Guy?  No, because he’d just rip the sleeves off his suits.
Bill Engvall?   Hmmm… He’s naturally funny… smart enough to get the job done and make light of everything around him… Maybe we should get Bill Engvall as the Vice President.

(No insult to Bill…. I love that guy.)

 

Unseating

To Unseat a sitting President, you have to put forth a Candidate that is more popular than the President.  A less popular person has never beat a sitting President.  And unfortunately, Newt is far less popular.  He has a 60% Dislike rating… Who really thinks that Newt could win the General Election?
I’m not saying Newt wouldn’t do a good job if he became the POTUS… I’m just saying it’s unlikely to ever happen.  Newt isn’t nearly as Conservative as he pretends to be on Fox News.  He has a lot of baggage.  He was ousted on Ethics violations, took 1.5 million from Freddie Mac, and sat down with Nancy Pelosi and supported Global Warming.  (Man Made Global Warming is BS, and the Liberals are using it to strangle Industry – this isn’t a Conservative platform, but it’s Newts) This guy is as popular as a case of Mono.  As useless as Obama has been, he remains more popular than Newt.
Obama would thrash Newt in the election.
