Ohio National Guard Training Envisions Right-Wing Terrorism

MediaTrackers, By: Jesse Hathaway, February 10, 2014

Documents from an Ohio National Guard (ONG) training drill conducted last January reveal the details of a mock disaster where Second Amendment supporters with “anti-government” opinions were portrayed as domestic terrorists.

The ONG 52nd Civil Support Team training scenario involved a plot from local school district employees to use biological weapons in order to advance their beliefs about “protecting Gun Rights and Second Amendment rights.”

News from The Hill: White House unveils new gun control effort

By Ben Goad, Jan. 3, 2014

The Obama administration on Friday announced a new set of actions designed to keep weapons from the mentally ill, declaring once again that the president is intent on using his executive authority to pursue tighter federal gun control in lieu of congressional action.

The plan includes two proposed regulations designed to clarify who may possess guns and shore up a woefully porous national background check system.

“Too many Americans have been severely injured or lost their lives as a result of gun violence,” the White House said upon announcing the initiative. “While the vast majority of Americans who experience a mental illness are not violent, in some cases when persons with a mental illness do not receive the treatment they need, the result can be tragedies such as homicide or suicide.”

GRNC Alert 12-8-13: Schumer Exploits 'Plastic Gun' Myth to Ban Ordinary Guns--House Republicans hand Schumer chance to ban thousands of ordinary guns.

What is an “undetectable gun”? It isn't what gun control-pushing politicians like New York senator Chuck Schumer want you to believe it is. 

 

In fact, airports now use “passive body scanners” that detect firearms regardless of what they're made of. And ammunition, made of lead and brass, has never been “invisible”. Apparently Chuck Schumer thinks a gun without ammunition is somehow a threat to national security.

The real threat to national security are politicians who rabidly attack constitutional freedom. Our Republican “friends” in the US House have done us no favor by passing a bill to extend the outdated and useless “undetectable gun” ban.

Now Schumer and his anti-gun majority of Democrats in the US Senate can use it as a vehicle to tack on provisions that ban guns made with any non-metallic parts – even wooden stocks!

Their strategy appears to delay the current ban until after the 2014 election, when Democrats will be more willing to risk their careers voting in favor of gun bans Americans don't want.

The current ban, set to sunset after 10 years on December 9^th needs to sunset. If only Chuck Schumer's tenure would sunset with it...

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!                                          

·     Email AND Call NC Senators Kay Hagan and Richard Burr. Tell them the useless “undetectable gun” ban must be allowed to sunset.

·     Call the two Senate leaders: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Tell them the pointless ban must sunset.

CALL Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at: (202) 224-3542.
CALL Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at: (202) 224-2541.

LIVER THIS MESSAGE                                                     

Dear Senator,
As you are aware the “undetectable gun” ban will sunset December 9^th if not extended.
Senator Chuck Schumer's proposed one year extension of this ban is a clear attempt to shield anti-gun senators from an unpopular vote during an election year, and to create a vehicle for more draconian gun control legislation in the future.

I insist that you DO NOT SUPPORT the Schumer one year extension.
Given the facts that even “plastic guns” are now easily detected via passive body scanning, and ammunition has always been detectable, this ban is a solution in search of a problem.
It must be allowed to sunset.

Cooperation with Schumer's scheme will cost you my vote.
I will follow progress on this issue through Grass Roots North Carolina alerts.

Sincerely,

GRNC Alert 12-6-13: Bloomberg-Funded “Moms Demand” Group Spreads Lies in NC

December 7, 2013

Misinformation campaign helped by complicit anti-gun media… YOU

See the News & Observer’s “Under the Dome” recent ‘gift to gun control’, and MAKE SURE to comment! We need to oppose gun control squibs such as this:

“In the year since the horrific shooting in Newtown, CT, our state legislature, by mandating guns on playgrounds, parks, and restaurants and bars families frequent, has increased the chances a child will be shot, not decreased it, as other, more responsible states have done. . . “

ObamaCare Records: Finding “Mentally Disturbed” Gun Owners

There are lots of reasons for Americans to hate ObamaCare.

But gun owners should be especially concerned about this “Obamanation,” because it will allow the federal government to use our medical information to keep us from buying guns.

Just ask yourself:

* Was there a death in your family recently causing you to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

* Do you take anxiety medications?

* Did you ever say: I had thoughts of suicide when I was dealing with stress at home or work or after my recent breakup?

* Have you voluntarily checked yourself into an institution to get counseling?

I

f you answered YES to any of those questions, and there is any federal nexus, then you might find yourself disarmed in the near future.

Part II: Gun Control Through the Healthcare System

Last week I wrote about receiving an email from the American Public Health Association showing that they are going after guns and veterans. This week I received a follow-up email from PHACT – Public Health ACTion. This email put their anti-gun playbook right out there for all of us to see. By reviewing this information, we’ll see exactly what their strategies are and what we can learn from their plans. 

“In this toolkit you’ll find resources to engage in a variety of grassroots advocacy strategies:

·         Fact sheets on important public health issues

·         Sample phone scripts and emails for contacting your members of Congress

·         Tips for reaching out to media and social media networks

·         Tips for meeting with your members of Congress

·         Resources for federal and state data and information about public health

These resources will prepare you to be a successful advocate for our nation’s public health system.”

New Bill Would Ban AR-15 Receivers, Barrels, and any Necessary Parts to Assemble a Semi-automatic Firearm

Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) has proposed a federal gun bill in the United States House of Representatives that would ban the sale and possession of 80% Ar-15 receivers. However, the way the legislation reads, it actually bans much more than receivers. It appears to include virtually any part used to build a semi-automatic weapon. 

H.R. 2910 was introduced on August 1, 2013. The particular lower that is referenced is one that is not considered a firearm because it still requires some basic machine work before it is ready to be used in building a firearm. The benefit to purchasing an 80% lower versus a completed lower is that you can complete the work yourself. Once you have done that, there is no need for the gun to have a serial number or be registered as long as it remains in your possession for personal use.

THIS NEW INFOGRAPHIC SEEMINGLY DEBUNKS ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL ANTI-GUN CLAIMS

The Blaze

August 8, 2013

A new infographic published by the National Shooting Sports Foundation is bound to baffle gun control advocates as it seemingly debunks the main anti-gun argument — that more guns equal more crime and therefore make Americans less safe.

Using data from the Department of Justice, ATF, Pew Research Center, National Safety Council and Gallup, NSSF claims that gun crime has plummeted even as gun sales continue to skyrocket.

The data indicates that homicides with firearms are down 39 percent since 1991 while other crimes with guns are down 69 percent. The numbers also show that unintentional firearms fatalities are down 58 percent since 1991 and down 81.3 percent since 1929.

Additionally, 43 percent of Americans say they have guns in their home

NRA-ILA | North Carolina Comprehensive Pro-Gun Bill Signed into Law

July 30, 2013

Yesterday, the most comprehensive pro-gun reform bill in the Tar Heel State’s history since 1995, House Bill 937, was signed into law by Governor Pat McCrory (R).  This measure will take effect on October 1, 2013.

After the House and Senate approved different versions of H 937, the bill was sent to a House-Senate conference committee to resolve the differences between the two versions.  While the Senate version of H 937 sought to completely repeal the state’s antiquated and unnecessary requirement to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun, the final language approved by both legislative chambers, and has now been enacted into law, seeks to reform the handgun purchase permit law by making the following changes:

• Improves and streamlines the permit issuing process.
• Establishes a revocation requirement for individuals issued a permit who later become prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm.
• Improves the reporting process of the records of individuals who are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
• Safeguards the confidentiality of individuals applying for a handgun purchase permit.

Your NRA will continue to work with legislators on future efforts to fully repeal the outdated handgun purchase permit law.

Along with several improvements to the handgun purchase permit law, H 937 also does the following:

• Allows Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) holders to lawfully carry their personal protection firearm into a restaurant that serves alcohol, provided they do not consume alcohol.
• Removes the prohibition on CHP holders from carrying into a place where tickets are sold for admission.

North Carolina: Conference Committee Continues to Debate Omnibus Firearms Reform Bill

July 19, 2013

Contact your State Legislators TODAY in Support of House Bill 937 

As the omnibus Right-to-Carry reform bill, House Bill 937, continues to be debated by a House-Senate conference committee in Raleigh, your NRA continues to work with state legislators to pass the most comprehensive pro-gun bill possible this year.  Both teams of conferees are committed to keeping intact the language that would, among other things:

· Allow Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) holders to lawfully carry their personal protection firearm into a restaurant that serves alcohol.

· Allow CHP holders to carry into a place where tickets are sold for admission.

· Fix the problem of anti-gun localities overstepping their authority regarding restricting CHP holders from carrying firearms into locally controlled parks.

· Allow CHP holders to transport and store their firearms in their vehicles when on the grounds of education facilities.

· Bring North Carolina in compliance with the standards set forth in the federal NICS Improvement Amendments Act (NIAA) of 2007—a critical mental health reform.

· Ensure the privacy of CHP holders by allowing access to the database of permittees only for law enforcement purposes.

· Remove the prohibition on CHP holders carrying their personal protection firearms during a parade or funeral.

· Remove the prohibition on using firearms with sound suppressing devices while otherwise lawfully hunting game.

These reforms, if enacted, would represent the most significant advancement of gun rights in North Carolina since the passage of the original CHP law in 1995.

The one provision of H 937 where there has been some disagreement is the state Senate’s inclusion of language to repeal the outdated and inefficient handgun purchase permit law.  The NRA remains committed to repealing this law, and transitioning North Carolina to using the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), as the overwhelming majority of states use.  However, due to opposition from the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association, the repeal of the handgun purchase permit has held up final passage of H 937.

One proposal to deal with the handgun purchase permit has been a partial repeal of it.  While this would arguably make the law less restrictive, supporting a partial repeal carries with it potentially problematic consequences.  As proposed, the partial repeal would remove the purchase permit requirement for handgun transfers through licensed gun dealers (where a NICS check would be conducted), but still require the permit be used for private transfers that take place at gun shows or are the result of someone who is not a licensed dealer advertising the sale of their handgun.  The NRA cannot support this compromise.
