HAS RUBY RIDGE COME TO NC?

'Storm troopers' terrorize western NC citizens...

Grass Roots North Carolina, February 3, 2014

Operation “Something Bruin” was run by the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC), in conjunction with the United States Forest Service (USFS). This four-year, $2 million undercover operation was conducted to uncover bear poaching rings in our state. However, it has instead raised serious questions about the officers and agents involved in the operation. 

Rather than pursuing legitimate poaching arrests, “Something Bruin” reportedly exposed 81 hunters and their families to terrible abuses at the hands of the undercover agents and officers. Hunters caught up in the operation report entrapment, killing of bears by the agents themselves, and the use of storm trooper tactics against hunters and their families. Ms. Linda Crisp and her daughter, Michelle, describe having their homes invaded, and family heirlooms seized by agents wearing body armor and carrying fully automatic weapons. As this occurred, parents were detained outside while small children were left screaming, scared and alone inside homes.

RALEIGH: Hundreds rally for gun rights

AND CCTA WAS THERE!                            

Several hundred people rallied in downtown Raleigh Tuesday in an effort to halt proposed gun-control legislation on Capitol Hill and to call on state lawmakers to protect Second Amendment rights.


Grass Roots North Carolina, which was founded 20 years ago to protest a national assault weapons ban, organized the event on Halifax Mall outside the legislature as Congress once again takes up the idea of restricting access to automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Paul Valone, co-founder of the group, said no compromise is possible when discussing constitutional rights.

"Compromise in the gun debate denotes a process in which we lose just slightly less than we would have lost under our opposition's original proposal, but we still lose," Valone said. "We don't just lose one debate; we embolden those who would control us if they can. We don't just lose some nasty-looking, so-called assault weapons; we lose freedom."

North Carolina has had a concealed weapons law on the books for almost two decades, and it's time to expand gun rights rather than curtail them. He said concealed weapons should be allowed in schools and restaurants, among other locations.


"Concealed handgun permit holders have spent 18 years proving themselves sane, sober and law-abiding," he said.

Rep. Larry Pittman, R-Cabarrus, said he plans to introduce a constitutional amendment to allow people to carry concealed weapons everywhere aside from schools, courthouses and any private buildings where the owners have posted gun restrictions.

Pittman read the proposed amendment to the cheers of the crowd: "Any attempt to disarm the law-abiding citizens of the State of North Carolina shall be resisted by the full power of the State of North Carolina, and citizens who have committed no crime have the right personally to resist confiscation of their weapons."
