NObama's Committee to Study Gun Violence is a Sham

Oh, my God, where to start on this one...

First things first: appointing Joe Biden to be in charge of a committee to study "gun violence" in America and actually expecting him to be fair and unbiased is like buying a lottery ticket and actually expecting to win - and then being surprised when you don't. What did you expect, really? NObama's chief Court Jester has made his feelings on gun control very plain from Day One, and to expect him to recommend anything except more useless gun control laws is nothing short of stupid. Not ludicrous, not foolish, but STUPID. NObama would have served the purpose much better if he'd appointed a moderate to head the committee or, better yet, if he'd appointed two people to co-chair the committee one from each side of the issue - with the Court Jester NOT being one of them. THAT would have been the smart thing to do. But then again, NObama hasn't been doing very many smart things these days, has he?

And were we really surprised when the Court Jester had the "Brady Bunch" in his office first, instead of, oh, I don't know, the NRA? It's human instinct to want to talk to those of the same opinion first, but it sure doesn't say anything for being fair and unbiased, does it? If he wanted to be seen as fair and unbiased, then he should have had the NRA in his office first. That would have done wonders for his credibility with me, and while I realize I'm only one person, I'm quite sure there are legions more out there who feel the same way I do on that point.

Then again, the Court Jester doesn't seem to be concerned about being fair and unbiased - he's already come to his conclusions as to what he thinks needs to be done, and he's also already decided how he and NObama are going to do it. Why else would he announce after the first day's meetings that the use of an Executive Order to establish tighter gun control was "on the table?" He tried to cover his ass by adding that "legislation would be needed" to back it up, but the damage has already been done. As I'm typing this, the Republicans in Congress and the citizens of the nation are lining up and screaming their heads off about this blatant intent to bypass the Congress and the Constitution and rule by "executive decree." Considering the number of Executive Orders that NObama has issued in the past four years - more than the previous FOUR presidents combined, by the way - I'm not at all surprised that he'd stoop to this tactic.

For those of you who voted for this asshat last November, congratulations - you've elected the first DICTATOR in our nation's history. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

As I said in the title of this entry, this whole committee thing by NObama and the Court Jester is nothing but a sham. It's a facade, a fake, a dog and pony show to give people the impression that they actually give a damn about saving lives and that they really want to hear ALL suggestions on how to solve the problem of gun violence in America. If they were really serious about it, then they would have taken Ted Nugent up on his offer to sit on the committee with the Court Jester - but as far as I know, Uncle Ted isn't included. That tells you something right there. (Nugent, by the way, wrote a letter to Biden and then published it on his web site in which he offers his services. If you haven't read it, you really should.)

No, the Court Jester and NObama don't really give a damn about saving lives. What they REALLY want is to eliminate private ownership of firearms in the United States, and to do that, of course, they have to repeal the Second Amendment. The establishment of yet more useless gun control laws in the face of reams of documentation that proves gun control laws in general - and the Brady Bill in particular - don't work is just the first step, as I said in a post last week. Their ultimate goal is the repeal of the Second Amendment, and they'll do anything, both legal and illegal, to accomplish that goal.

And in the mean time they're going to pass up the opportunity to address and possibly solve - or at least drastically reduce - the real cause of gun violence in America. Guns are not the cause, they're the tool. The cause is mental illness, and the programs in our country to recognize and treat mental illness are sadly lacking. We have the opportunity as a nation to take some definitive actions that will absolutely reduce gun violence in our nation, but focusing on and banning guns is not the answer. Banning guns is no more the answer than banning cars is the answer to drunk driving, and for the life of me I just don't understand why the libtards and the Demoncrats don't understand this!

For the first time in my life, I'm genuinely concerned about the future of our great nation. I'm a student of history, and one of the things I've studied is how the great dictators in the past have come to power, and in every instance - every single one - the very first thing they did to secure their power was to disarm the people. As the old saying goes, "An armed man is a citizen; an unarmed man is a subject," and it seems apparent to me that NObama is intent on making all of us his subjects. He envisions a socialist society where the government takes care of everybody - whether they want to be take care of or not - and provides everybody what HE thinks they need. Of course, the flip side is also true in that if HE thinks we don't need it, then he either deprives us of it or takes it away.

And the sad thing is that there are enough people out there who think that the total loss of their freedom as a citizen is a fair price to pay for being "taken care of." Why else would they have elected this charlatan twice?

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."

I've long said, and said it proudly, that I'm a "Sheepdog." If you've read my blog then you know what I'm talking about; if not, then do a search for that term in my blog and read what I wrote. But over the course of the past few days I've been giving some very serious thought to what's going on in our nation and with the socialist buffoon now occupying the White House, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm no longer just a "Sheepdog."

I'm also a "Three Percenter." (If you don't know what that means, then look it up.)

And I'm damned proud of that, too.

I don't know where all of this is going to take us, so just like the rest of you I'm going to just hold my breath and pray to God that it doesn't all go to hell on us. If NObama tries to "rule by executive decree" then it's going to go South in one hell of a hurry; if not, well, we may just be able to survive NObama's reign of terror intact.

Time will tell.
