Interesting Items: Guns to Gosnell by Alex Gimarc
Monday April 15, 2013 Interesting Items 4/15 - Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy – In this issue: 1. Quote of the week 2. NY Gun Permits 3. MO CCW 4. Drilling 5. WA Lawsuit 6. Thatcher 7. Gosnell 1. Quote of the Week. This came across the transom last week and made me laugh. Initially thought it was a recent column. Upon further research, discovered it was a four year old Burt Prelutsky column. I don’t normally do a complete cut and paste, but this one was too good to pass up. Enjoy - "Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words." -- Columnist Burt Prelutsky, Los Angeles Times, http://www.burtprelutsky.com/ 2009/12/new-and-improved-iron- curtain.html 2. NY Gun Permits. There was some significant concern early last week that NY state police had started accessing private medical records / prescription records as a vehicle to revoke gun ownership permits issued in the state. There was a case where a gun owner from Buffalo received a letter from the county clerk revoking his license and demanding him to turn it over along with all seven of his licensed firearms. A provision in the recently passed anti-gun legislation in NY calls for confiscation of firearms from people with “serious mental conditions”, though the definition of those conditions remains entirely in the eye of the beholder. The citizen retained counsel and filed an immediate lawsuit against the state. The case also really blew up outrage among the pro-firearms people as it demonstrates once again that firearms registration inevitably leads to confiscation. It also raises the specter of the state working with leftist doctors, nurses and pharmacists to access personal medical information – which means that privacy does not trump the ability of anti-gunners to label anyone mentally unstable and seize their firearms. As of the weekend, the state police claimed to have made a mistake, misidentifying the firearms owner. They issued an apology and the county revoked the notification letter. The NY state police may or may not be pouring through private medical records for evidence of anti-depressant of psychotropic drug prescriptions so that they may have an excuse to revoke lawful gun licenses. My guess would be to assume the worst here, as it is precisely the outcome Cuomo and NY democrats want. The problem raised by this remains: and it is who gets to decide who or what is mentally unstable? The leftist dominated state of NY? The racists in the Obama (In)Justice Department? Politically appointed Chiefs of Police? Leftist doctors and pharmacists? Any random fool with an ax to grind? How about any of us who like Michael Savage believes being a liberal is a mental disorder? Who gets power over our ability to exercise our rights under the Second Amendment? This is going to get worse before it gets better I am afraid, which is why there have been over 70 million background checks and approvals since Obama was sworn in January 2009. Americans are preparing for war against their politicians. 3. MO CCW. It appears anti-gunners in the employ of the Missouri HighwayPatrol twice shared the list of concealed carry permit holders in Missouri with the Obama administration. This is in direct violation of Missouri state lawprohibiting any sharing of this information with the federal government. The current MO governor, Jay Nixon is the former state attorney general and is well aware of the provisions of state law. The State Highway Patrol twice requested the entire list from State Division of Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing, ostensibly hoping to match up the 185,000 people on the list with a list of MO residents with mental problems or disabilities – not unlike what the state police are doing in NY under Cuomo’s new anti-gun law. There was no written request for the information. We will see who gets prosecuted for breaking state law. As the governor and political appointees are democrats, I am not hopeful. Looks like Holder’s (In)Justice Department is in the process of constructing their list of firearms owners. And they are starting with concealed carry permit holders. 4. Drilling. Last week ConocoPhillips announced they were putting plans for drilling in the Arctic Ocean on hold for the time being. This comes on the heels of the death of 1000 cuts endured by Shell Oil last summer in their attempt at drilling in the Chukchi Sea. The Obama administration has larded so many rules, regulations, requirements, and levels of oversight on the producers that it is no longer profitable to drill or produce in the Arctic Ocean. We already have a number of artificial islands built over the years and producing just offshore the Prudhoe Bay oil fields and they have done just fine for decades. The anti-energy greens working for this administration and holding their leashes in congress (democrats all) ignore both the precedent and successful history of offshore oil exploration and production here in Alaska (and elsewhere), all to the detriment of our economic future and jobs for us and the generations that follow. And for what? 5. WA Lawsuit. Here come the lawsuits. The Washington State Attorney General filed a lawsuit against a florist in Richland who refused to provide an arrangement for a same sex wedding. The lawsuit was filed under provisions of the state Consumer Protection Act and cites the state anti-discrimination laws. The florist, who reportedly reached an amicable arrangement with the pair of long time customers is a devout Christian and refuses the sale on religious grounds. The homosexual community has turned into a group of bullying thugs, ready, willing and able to use the power of the state and anti-discrimination laws to run roughshod over the religious beliefs of Christians. This is pure thuggery, bullying via lawfare, using the power of the state against small business people who will be unable to afford the expense of defending themselves in court. This is the future we will see as gay marriage laws roll out across the nation. 6. Thatcher. Baroness Maggie Thatcher passed away last Monday at the age of 88. Thatcher along with Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II provided the free world with the moral backbone necessary to finish the destruction of the Soviet Union and its empire of client states. Thatcher has been called one of the three most important British Prime Ministers and presided over a period of the restoration of liberty in Great Britain after decades of creeping socialism. She was reportedly suffering from Alzheimer’s disease upon her passing. She was simply a great lady, and reviled by the left, who are now dancing on her grave, gleefully pushing the old Wizard of Oz song “Ding dong, the witch is dead” up British radio play lists. How thoughtful. Over here, Senate democrats blocked a resolution commending her service in support of liberty and wishing her well on her passing from this earth. 7. Gosnell. A Philadelphia aborto-doc named Kermit Gosnell is on trial for eight counts of murder (infanticide) over years of running a filthy charnel house near the campus of Pennsylvania University in Philadelphia. Gosnell practiced post-birth abortion on a massive basis, severing the spinal cords of unwanted children born alive. He kept feet and other pieces of them as souvenirs. Gosnell is an old man, who at age 72 has been doing this for decades, perhaps as long as 40 years. For this service, he was paid handsomely, and because of the pro-choice political regime in the state of PA, stopped being inspected by state health examiners on a regular basis after 1992. His murderous reign of terror proceeded under both parties in the state house. As Gosnell was black and ostensibly operating in the inner city, his mass murder spree has not been all that interesting to the media, which outside of some in the right wing blogosphere and the Philadelphia Inquirer, has all but ignored the story. Gosnell may follow Sibelius’ aborto-doc, creator of the dilation and extraction (D&X) infanticide technique called partial birth abortion as one of the worst and certainly the cruelest mass murderers in history. The trial continues. Those interested should be careful reading the charging documents and trial testimony, as it will leave pictures in your mind that you may not be able to remove for a very long time. Contrast the coverage of Gosnell and the concern over his butchery with that of Adam Lanza, who killed children in New Town, CT. Gosnell certainly killed more, and at a more personal level than Lanza, yet we must have a national discussion over firearms and ignoring part of the Bill of Rights while completely ignoring a similar discussion over penumbras and emanations of the right of privacy that cloaks this horror. To cap off the story, there appears to be a similar death house in Delaware, which Planned Parenthood is furiously backpedaling from in an attempt to get as far away from as humanly possible. How many houses of horror does Planned Parenthood operate (Gosnell was not one)? And why are they not held to the same standards of cleanliness as the basic Doc in a Box storefront clinic? This is the future democrats, feminists, and the abortion business has in store for our children and grandchildren. This is the future demanded by Sandra Fluke. This is evil at its most basic.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
