Chicago Sun Times Columnist is Way Off The Mark

Columnist , Carol Marin wrote this article: We Must Do More to Control Guns

I responded with an e-mail to this lovely buy woefully misguided lady.

Carol,

You're off the mark!

The first notable school shooting was in 1966. It happened in Austin Texas and was at the hands of a deranged ex-marine, Charles Whitman. The scream was for gun control by the political Left. They got their wish for more gun control in the form of 20,000 new laws. Each law sold more guns as Americans panicked and bought guns to head off a total ban. The gun control movement became the greatest gun marketing tool ever.

Each gun massacre also brought the shooters something else they craved, major media face time. The media became the unwitting motivator of mass killers each trying to out do the other in copycat moves. Mass killers are as well known as rock stars and Oscar winning actors. How many headines, books and movies did Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy spawn?

What we have now are super-soft targets created by well-meaning politicians that are by design the safest place for armed madmen to kill innocent people. They are the so called Gun Free Zones.

The gun laws always work well on one group, the law-abiding. They follow the laws and the new politically correct gun-less culture like sheep. Perfect victims for the groups that our laws never affect, criminals, whack-jobs and the suicidal.

Stripping the law-abiding of their gun rights is counter productive to public safety. These are the very people you want trained and armed to act in emergencies. They are the ranks of the Militia to keep themselves, families, friends and neighbors safe from the unthinkable.

Give a Militia snappy uniforms, government resources, and special authority and you create Storm Troopers as Nazi Germany did so effectively. Government Militias quickly lose identification with their former friends and neighbors. The Militia must be all of us.

The ranks of gun control groups are comprised of devout pacifists, control freaks and the misled. Their shrill cries are trumpeted by confused journalists.

Americans need to re-learn what they’ve lost, that they are responsible for their own self-defense. That they, not the police are the first responders to assaults, rapes, robbery and all forms of mayhem. When Americans re-learn their individual self-defense responsibilities violence in our society will be checked.

More gun laws and more cops are no solution to America’s violence.

Carol, get training, a gun and you can be part of the solution rather than what you are, a part of the Problem.

Sincerely

Paul Huebl

Mass Killers Are Using The wrong Weapons!

I don’t understand the fascination that mass killers have with guns. They are not suitable for mass killings by a single gunman. Something always goes wrong before the killers can expend all of their ammunition. Then there is the difficulty of paying for, stealing or otherwise obtaining those guns. Guns are so expensive, over-regulated and really ineffective. Guns require way too much training and skill to use effectively. There are far better ways as exemplified by the New York love story of sorts of Julio and Lydia.

One day, Julio Gonzalez, a Cuban Army deserter and ex-convict was very angry. He lost his job and his girl friend ,Lydia Feliciano, a worker at a local social club and Julio wanted to get even. Julio simply purchased a single gallon of plain old and unregulated gasoline.

Julio soon took his rage out on the occupants of New York’s Happyland Social Club. Before it was over 87 innocent people were dead.

School shootings are so minor in comparison to the mass murder of the Happyland patrons.

Gasoline purchases require no forms to fill out, no tiresome background investigations, and no waiting periods! They don’t care about your mental health history or your violent felony record. Gasoline is a deadly explosive that kills much better than firearms.

Our Government Knew NIU Gunman Was A Whack-Job Who Lied On Five Gun Applications

Steven Kazmierczak’s My Space photo seen here displays abundant tattoos on both arms.

The NIU gunman was well known by government authorities. He was confined to a Chicago mental institution for a year after refusing to take anti-psychotic medicine was unruly and engaged in strange behavior such as cutting himself. He later joined the Army but was tossed out after basic training for psychiatric reasons. The gunman was off his required medication and his rocker for two years prior to the shooting.

In order to buy the four firearms in Illinois, Steven Kazmierczak had to lie on four separate #4473 Firearm Transaction Forms, and his Illinois Firearms Owners Identification Application. That FOID process takes months to complete. Once the FIOD was received Kazmierczak could not take delivery until he had endured the mandated waiting periods for the guns he had already purchased.

At the point of purchase and well before delivery of the firearm both the state and federal governments have a part in conducting another background investigation to determine if there were disqualifying factors that would prevent the transaction. Since there were four purchases the process was repeated four times and government still approved the applications. You can see what paperwork this killer had to fill out and knowingly make false ststement on below:

The required ATF #4473 form can be found HERE.

NIU Gunman Was The Killer Puppet Of Liberal Politicians

Stephen Kazmierczak, 27 is now identified as yesterday’s NIU gunman was a mentally disturbed man who stopped taking his anti-psychotic medicine. Kazmierczak’s troubles were hidden from public records and even the Illinois State Police who did a required background check enabling him to get a gun owners card.

Of course the victims of the madman were all denied the ability to stop this deranged killer by an outrageous and un-Constitutional Illinois law that forbids meaningful self-defense.

Liberal political thinking and policy was the real killer here. Liberals demand absolute privacy for mental patients even though that endangers public safety. Liberals also push every conceivable kind of gun ban on law-abiding Americans who have an absolute Constitutional right to keep and carry firearms. It was the Liberal politicians that guaranteed this killer an unarmed and vulnerable soft target. The Liberal platform and politics of victimization here was and is nothing but a recipe for disaster.

Ask yourself a serious question about the mall and school massacres. Why have these bloodbaths only occurred after gun control laws and bans were enacted during the 1960s through today?

It’s time for those few holdout states like Illinois to try a new approach that works really well in the majority of the free United States. That of allowing concealed weapons for the law-abiding and the elimination of all Gun Free Zones.

NBC, The Today Show And Hanoi Jane’s Foul Mouth

I’m not going to defend that Communist Traitor Bitch but it’s time to re-think the FCC broadcast word ban. Fonda used the dreaded “C” word while a guest on The Today Show.

You’ll notice that I avoid the use of profane language anywhere on this blog including posting comments that contain them. I know such words may drive away sensitive readers and don’t want that result.

I’ve used the foulest of words outside of where you’ll find mixed company or children. It’s low class, low brow and juvenile. Like many others using those nasty words I enjoy the shock value and sometimes comedy that is involved with profanity. That in no was excuses my lapse of good judgment when I tread into smutty language territory.

The reality is that these four letter offerings are in and of themselves are only simple synonyms of otherwise acceptable words. What’s the big deal aside from joining the lowest class of humanity?

By banning these terms have we given them far too much importance? I say those words have much more shock value simply because they are forbidden. Perhaps if we show less indignation and horror when people use the banned words they will go away on their own.

Illinois Politicians Told NIU Victims, “Shut Up And Die!”

Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, IL--Illinois politicians gave Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley what he wanted. They made it a felony crime for a law abiding citizen even those holding valid Firearm Owner Identification Cards to carry a handgun for simple self-protection.

They’ve known for a long time that violent criminals and the mentally deranged never let gun laws or Gun Free Zones stop them from committing all manner of carnage. They also know it’s an extremely rare day when dangerous criminals have met any requirements to get gun permits even under the most permissive systems.

Illinois Politicians have made the entire state a Gun Free Zone, at least on paper. Again the result was to provide some whack-job the softest possible target to kill innocent victims and get himself or herself some major media face time. The politicians know these facts only too well and continue with their politics of victimization anyway.

The only motive I can see for the continued war on the law-abiding folk’s gun rights is the desire of politicians to enslave their constituents and eventually end those tiresome elections and term limits.

As of 5:43 P.M. NIU officials have provided the following information about the victims of the shooting:
18 victims were transported to Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb:
Eight victims are in stable condition
Six victims are in good condition
Four victims are in critical condition and two of those victims were transported to regional hospitals

Update: The latest from NIU:
Latest Information
8:55 p.m. CST, 2/14/08

NIU can confirm seven fatalities, including the gunman. Four of the dead were female and two, including the gunman, were male. In total, there were 22 injured or killed.

NIU can confirm that the shooter was an NIU graduate student in sociology in the Spring of 2007 but was not currently enrolled.

At a press conference held on NIU's campus Thursday evening, NIU President John Peters said, "Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. We thank the community for the outpouring of sympathy during this terrible time of tragedy."

Peters urged students to remain calm and seek counseling. "We've asked them to reach out to each other during this difficult time, and they've done that, and I'm proud of them."

The NIU Department of Public Safety is asking that any individuals who witnessed the Feb. 14 shooting, or who believe they have any information related to the shooting, call the University Tip Line at (815) 753-TIPS. Police will return calls as soon as possible.

The FBI is processing the crime scene and the investigation is being aided by the Illinois State Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms, the State Crisis Management Team, the City of DeKalb Police, City of Sycamore Police, DeKalb County Sheriff's Department, the Ben Gordon Center and the DeKalb, Sycamore and Cortland Fire Departments, as well as FEMA

It’s Time For Third Party Spoilers!

They can be so much fun! Who could forget that little weasel, H. Ross Perot’s third party efforts in 1992 and again in 1996. The Republicans ran George H. W. “No New Taxes” Bush and Bob “Viagra” Dole against the Clinton Cabal. These two Republican frontrunners were way too Liberal and weak so the Perot platform that seemed only slightly more acceptable cornered enough Republican and Conservative votes to let the Clinton disaster torture us for eight years!

Somehow I expect some third party spoilers to provide what’s missing from this presidential election so far, an acceptable and qualified candidate for President. As it stands no matter who wins from the current political litter, Americans can count on getting a real lemon.

Why Police Dash Cams Can Suck Sometimes

You’re a proud protector of the public and you just snagged a traffic violator you’re going to impress with your devotion to duty with an expensive citation. You get out of your car and approach the violator with your best Adam 12, Reed & Molloy impersonation when…

Ann Jillian, Bob Hope And Countless Stars Entertained Our Troops

As a veteran I know first and the loneliness of being away from home and being trapped at a duty assignment where entertainment is very rare. A wonderful volunteer organization came into existence to fill this void, The USO.

Through the years the A list stars conspired to get out to combat zones and such to bring love, support and fun to our protectors of freedom. That needed attention seems to falter when our politicians send our kids to fight politically unpopular wars and that’s both sad and un-American.

Then there was the late, great Bob Hope and his troops that never wavered in bringing joy and first class entertainment where it was needed most. Along with Bob Hope was my dear friend, singer, dancer and Golden Globe winning actress, Ann Jillian. Ann is married to my pal, retired Chicago police Sergeant Andy Murcia.

Ann Jillian has a website that can be found here.

Please sit back and watch this rare clip of Bob Hope and Ann Jillian as they brought sheer joy to the boys and girls sent to fight Desert Storm.

History Would Suggest It’s Time For Another U.S. President To Be Assassinated

Four U.S. presidents were assassinated. Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy suffered the ultimate form of term limits.

But for John Wilks Booth, the assassins were disenfranchised angry loners, some suffering from mental disorders.

John Wilks Booth was a patriot who took out perhaps the most toxic president we’ve ever had. The winners of the Civil War wrote the history books and made a hero and martyr out of a considerable enemy of freedom and liberty. I’ve never been a fan of Abe Lincoln. A split nation was far better than the huge loss of life and suffering that our Civil War brought Americans on both sides.

It only takes marginal intelligence and a created opportunity to kill a president. Improvised explosives, incendiary devices, firearms all can be command fired from great distances. Sophisticated killers can watch live television feeds broadcast in real time to determine when to press the button taking out the world’s greatest leader.

The Secret Service can never hope to eliminate the constant threats, attempts and actual assassinations. They will happen just because they will.

I would be surprised and amazed if we got through another presidential term with hot button, toxic people that are now likely to end up being inaugurated in January 2009.

My bet is the country will go on like it always does with a Constitutional successor. Someone will be offended or angry enough to do what they could not accomplish at the ballot box.

The chances of any president being killed are a little greater than 10% based on history. Get ready for the rider less horse in a funeral parade. Perhaps the next one will have a side-saddle.

The Rush Is On To Loot Britney Spears’ Estate

We all know that Britney Spears has had difficult moments made more difficult by constantly exaggerated tabloid reports of this girl’s behavior. If Spears runs a yellow light in her car it’s a front page story. I’m not sure what’s really going on other than I have no doubt that all of the people that surround her have shady motives. Greed is ugly and Spear’s huge estate is the target of some very ugly people.

Anyone feeding Spears alcohol or drugs is suspect since that would weaken Spear’s resistance and ability to protect her assets. Spear’s parents remind me of so many parents of Hollywood’s child stars. The feel entitled to steal their child’s earnings and do so with no limits. Spear’s parents are fighting desperately to gain absolute control of their daughter’s earnings.

Next we have a huge boatload of lawyers, medical experts, accountants, and the court itself all grabbing their “share” of The Britney Spears estate. Let’s not forget that ex-husband who’d be living in a beat up car had he not caught Britney’s eye one day.

I can’t predict how the court will “protect” Britney Spears or her money but you can count on millions going to the greedy as a result of the court's intervention. In the mean time Britney can’t write a check, or use her own credit cards. I don’t see anyone on the side of this young woman.

Arizona’s, John Shadegg won’t seek re-election to an eighth term in Congress.

It was a sad announcement to hear the 58 year-old is stepping down and the end of his term. In his statement Shadegg said he will look for a different capacity to serve our country. John Shadegg is truly a White Knight of the highest order and an acquaintance of mine.

Shadegg is a real Conservative who served for 14 years with distinction and grace as he fought runaway spending, out of control government and its constant corruption. At the same time Shadegg fought hard to protect our ever shrinking freedoms and liberty. I had hoped to see his name on a Presidential ballot instead of the names we’ve got. I don’t count Shadegg out as a strong American political leader or future Presidential candidate. I just hope to see that happen.

Update! 138 House Republicans have signed a letter asking Shadegg to reconsider and now he's considering a reversal of his plans!
