Me and “Uncle Eric”
As you all know, I have no respect for U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. None at all. By now, most of you have probably formed your own ideas as to "why & why NOT", and you're all entitled to your own opinions, so everybody can think what they want........but I'm gonna lay it out (and hopefully won't have to draw too many pictures to get the reasons across to any of you Democrats on this).
It's mainly a gun issue. Yes, there's more to life than the 2nd Amendment, but WITHOUT that Amendment......all the others would be "fair game" because we'd have no way to protect them.
This STUPID concept of only allowing the military and police to have weapons, has created MANY a dictatorship around the globe.
When I was in Vietnam, the voting age was still 21, so most of us who were dodging "political war bullets" weren't able to "decide ANYTHING" at the polls.
Another tragedy were the double-standards of freedom.
There in Vietnam, we "non-voting youngsters" were issued machineguns, mortars, bazookas, tanks, flame throwers, etc, plus all the ammunition we wanted. We could kill everything in sight with Uncle Sam's blessings, and we even got PAID to do it. What a deal, eh?
If you were an officer on flying status, you could fly everything from a Huey Cobra to a Phantom...............talk about death & destruction!
And all that just to "win the hearts and minds".........secure FREEDOM and introduce DEMOCRACY in a would-be communist country.
But then we came HOME........(stay WITH me now, I haven't forgotten about "Eric"). And I got my first REAL DOSE of "double standards."
HERE......in the "land of the FREE" where we already HAVE "democracy"..........the rules suddenly changed. And TODAY, it is WE, who are becoming a would-be communist country over HERE now!
"Yesterday" when I was serving "Uncle Sam", I could load rockets in the old bazooka, blow buildings up, help ambush the enemy and run the body count up as far as my M-14 would allow me. I had C-4 explosives, hand grenades, whatever I wanted or needed to "serve Sam."-----------------
--------------but here in my OWN country, they mysteriously didn't trust me anymore. I had to go through a myriad of paperwork, red tape and background checks just to buy a lousy little 22.
In 'Nam, for example, we were killing a lot of people we didn't even KNOW.....had nothing against, yet we had the "almighty blessing" of "Big Brother" back home, and a paycheck for it every month.
Back HERE, if you were to take out some scumbag who actually DOES deserve it........you're in DEEP doo-doo..........
I grew up around guns, and from the day I got out of the Corps at Camp Pendleton, to the day of THIS blog post, I've been a collector and shooter, and as part of the "shooting fraternity", I've had to deal with Eric Holder's Nazi's every step of the way.
No, Holder wasn't in charge of ANYTHING way back then........but it's the "same game" today, and he IS in charge now.
The BATF (now known as the ATF), is not necessarily who you THINK they are. Originally started back in the old moonshine days to break up the illegal whiskey stills, they have grown into a sizeable and practically UNCHECKED force.
My friend Lamont has often coined the phrase, that "you can't understand how things are if they aren't happening to you." Well.....if you're NOT a legitimate gun owner, this ISN'T happening to you, and MOST of it never makes it to your favorite news channel, and if it DOES, it doesn't get reported.
If you're HONEST, and want to make a legal purchase, you have to fill out paperwork for THEIR records, undergo a background check (even if you just DID one last month for a prior gun purchase), and the "record-keeping" process follows.
Most crooks STEAL their guns, so all the gun laws in the world stop NOTHING and only put more restrictions on the honest. A gunshop can make an honest error on that 4473 Form, and get PUT OUT OF BUSINESS for it...................(doesn't hamper the THIEF for even a moment).
If you're an honest gun owner, you get to watch this great ongoing "soap-opera" throughout your lifetime, whereas murderers, rapists, child molesters and a host of OTHER "delightful tradesmen", get turned right back onto the streets by the deal-makings between lawyers and district attorneys.
It's called the "revolving door system", where the BAD GUYS get put right back out on the streets........but the Feds hammer YOU, the HONEST GUY, with another 30 pages of more gun regulations.
YOU aren't the problem, but are expected to "pick up the tab" for it!
Over the years, the ATF has created attrocities.......kicking in doors, roughing up honest people, only to find they hit the wrong house! Apologies?.............are you KIDDING?
Then comes Randy Weaver.........saws off a shotgun barrel for an undercover Fed (and he WAS wrong to DO that)..........but c'mon man.......a "Broadway Production" to take ONE guy, and kill his wife & son in the process?
Most recently in history, we have KATRINA, where in the aftermath, New Orleans police forced people out of their homes upon orders from the MAYOR, confiscated guns for NO reason, didn't even TAG most of them, and left them rusting in 55-gallon drums for YEARS. Most owners never DID get them back, but it DID serve as a "wake-up call for the rest of us"
The ATF will send you to PRISON for owning or selling a weapon to anyone not authorized to have it................let me say that again....and I want you guys reading this to remember it...........
THE ATF WILL SEND YOU TO PRISON FOR OWNING OR SELLING A WEAPON TO ANYONE NOT AUTHORIZED TO HAVE IT.
JUST ONE.
They'll do it in a heartbeat, and everyone of us out here in the "gunworld" is well aware of the "drill".....because everytime some weapons tragedy happens, and the bleeding hearts squeal about it.....here come more regulations on US.........not the bad guys.
(would it surprise any of you out there to know, that MOST people who are anti-gun, don't even support the death penalty for the scumbags who ARE out there committing the murders?) Fact.
No........oh no.......it's easier to just "impair US some more!" That's the liberal "solution."
OK-----------------here they come in 2009----------------"Heckle & Jeckle"
First, our "community organizer" who, as an Illinois State Senator, supported an all-out handgun ban, wanted a 500% tax on ammunition, co-sponsored an anti-hunting bill with his buddy Ted Kennedy, wanted legislation to BAN any store that sold guns, within FIVE MILES of a school......and he also tried to get a bill passed that would PROSECUTE any home owner who used a firearm against an intruder!
When Obama got elected, gun & ammo sales went through the roof! Naturally the leftwing media stirred up all the "trained seals" into believing that the sudden arming-up was "just NATURALLY" a racial thing........yeah, SURE it was. (militias have been forming up for the last 30 years), but his RECORD on our gun rights are NOT to be dismissed.
If he gets RE-ELECTED, we'll probably see a "move" against us this time, because he CAN'T run for a third term, and will have no need to "be careful who he offends" this time.
And then comes "Jeckle". Obama picked the "right snake" to appoint to THIS post. Here's a guy who couldn't care LESS about AMERICANS. He would throw ME in Leavenworth for sawing off a barrel like Weaver did........but ACTUAL TERRORISTS don't get "water-boarded" anymore, and he tried to get them CIVILIAN trials.
I won't go into the Arizona lawsuit, or even the suit against Joe Arpaio, (the only REAL sheriff we have LEFT in this country). Like with Obama, we have come to KNOW "who's side" Holder is on.
NOW--------AS PER LAMONT's cliche'--------("if it isn't happening to you")....................
If you're a lawful gun owner in the country, you already KNOW the HASSLES they have steadily loaded upon us, and the difficulty of exercising our 2nd Amendment rights.............
"Listen baby.............you'd better CROSS every "T" and DOT every "I", or you can't even have anything to shoot GOPHERS with.
"WE'RE the ATF, By God.............and you peons WILL comply!"
An awful lot of you Democrats out there do NOT know this.....you'll never hear it on CNN, MSNBC, or any OTHER leftwing channel................so------------------
"It's NOT HAPPENING TO YOU!"
But it's been happening to US.............steadily, for as long as we've been involved in this sport...........and.............
OOPS!........what's this about "Fast & Furious???"..........the ATF?
NO!.........NOT the ATF!!..........certainly not THEM!
THESE guys are the "High Priests" of false security!
THESE are the guys who shutdown gunstores on technicalities.
THESE are the guys who break down doors and push innocent people around.
THESE are the guys who confiscate honest guns that you'll never see again.
THESE are the guys who would make it illegal to own a SLINGSHOT, if they could.
THESE are the same guys who've totally ignored what "shall not be infringed means."
"Say it AIN'T SO!!!!!"
These are the guys who would send you to LEAVENWORTH for trafficking ONE GUN....................
"HOW many guns went to the drug cartels on our very borders where our AGENTS are being killed?-------------------HOW MANY guns????
"Yeah right.............Holder didn't know anything about it............he only RUNS THE PLACE!
As an HONEST AMERICAN CITIZEN, I have to be registered and "paper-trailed" for a lousy little 22-----------but Holder and HIS boys can run over 2,000 guns (and we ain't talkin' about "22's" either)......to the DRUG CARTELS?
-----------------(again the question--------WHOSE SIDE is this administration ON???)--------certainly not OURS!
And WHY is Holder somehow EXEMPT from something he'd have JAILED ME for?
And while the subject is still fuming with me.......here comes this crap in TEXAS. Holder AGAIN!
I could almost read the minds of the left when I went after him about that on these blogs..................."Oh NO........"Zook's after Holder again!" What IS it with him and the "Attorney General?"
Well I'll TELL ya what it is...............he shouldn't even be OUT there suing ANYBODY! His butt ought to be where MINE would be if I was involved in something like this.
But no.......oh no......."Please come home little Sheeba---all is forgiven".......we'll cover your butt.........just get your briefcase out and get on down to the next activity."
This is NOT a "trivial" matter..........Eric Holder is a blight on the integrity of justice, and on free men everywhere. This entire regime is a disgrace.
He's out there loose, tampering with the election now.....when he SHOULD be in JAIL..........like ANY OF US would be for gun-running.
You know, they FINISHED Ollie North's career for Iran-Contra, and THAT didn't happen on our own borders, and our border agents weren't being KILLED by our own guns as a result.
And now he's out there just wanting EVERYONE to vote........NO VERIFICATION..........come one come all..........vote "early & often."
If two dudes showed up at a polling station wearing white robes and pointed hats.......I wonder if Holder would do something about THAT?
The liberal celebrities can publicly insult OUR women for THREE YEARS, go after the kids, snoop over the fence, and a dozen other things, but ONLY WHEN LIMBAUGH says something, do we hear the "cry of foul" from the left. (And Rush at least apologized)-------MORE "double standards."
I've been waiting for a special-order pistol for about eight months now. I'm thinking now, that maybe if I slipped across the border and sent word to the DOJ that I was working for the cartel and NEEDED this gun.......maybe there'd be a "few strings" pulled and I'd finally have it!
You may GATHER.........that "Me & Uncle Eric" aren't going to have coffee anytime soon!
But the bottom line here, is that we lawful owners have had to endure far too much bureaucracy, regulations, red-tape and documentation, for TOO LONG---------for TWO THOUSAND+guns to just slip over the order---------and NOTHING gets done because...............well, because.............
And so MANY of you out there get offended when I write about this country BEING SOLD OUT!
Well, maybe when you get up some morning, and they're standing right there in your friggin' bedroom.................the light will finally come on.
