Terrorism, Illegal Immigration, Identity theft All Leading to Gun Control

Terrorism, Illegal Immigration, Identity theft All Leading to Gun Control

National Association for Gun Rights

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Call me cynical, but whenever I hear anti-gun politicians talk about these issues nowadays, I’ve come to expect a new thinly-veiled assault on our Second Amendment freedoms.

Either they want to ban our guns, track our guns . . .

. . . Or track us.

Well, after years of watching our illegal immigration problem grow steadily worse — and watching our elected officials refuse to lift a finger in response — the politicians’ “fix” is finally in.

It’s a new Federal Biometric ID card.

That’s right. Instead of controlling our borders, the politicians want to control you and me. They want to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and make us prove we’re not criminals!

And President Barack Obama, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are all working hand in glove to ram this new scheme into law as part of their new “comprehensive immigration reform” package.

That’s why it’s vital you sign the petition to your Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY.

If passed, the Federal Biometric ID card included in the new amnesty bill will:

  • Include a “unique biometric identifier” — like fingerprints, retinal scans or even a scan of the veins on the back of your hand; and,
  • Allow bureaucrats to watch your every move, as the Federal Biometric ID card will almost certainly be produced with RFID tracking technology; and,
  • Include virtually unlimited amounts of personal information about you — like what guns you own, for instance.
  • And this new Federal Biometric ID would be required for any person wishing to hold a job legally in the United States.

So I guess the welfare recipients don’t have to get one. I don’t know about you, but I’m outraged.

It seems that whenever politicians are using terrorism, crime, illegal immigration or something else as their excuse, it’s really you and me in their crosshairs.

Just remember those Department of Homeland Security memos listing pro-gun, pro-constitution activists as “domestic extremists.”

How would you like to be told you can’t board a plane because your new Federal Biometric ID Card told a TSA agent you supported some political candidate the new anti-gun regime thinks is too “pro-constitution?”

Even if you place complete 100% trust in the intentions of all federal government bureaucrats, what if there’s some “accident?”

After all, you and I have heard the news stories of government officials “losing” laptops chockfull of hundreds of thousands of records including folks’ names, social security numbers, addresses and birthdates.

And, of course, you and I cannot ignore the fact that since ID cards are required to purchase a firearm, the Federal Biometric ID scheme will likely create a de facto national gun registry.

Unfortunately, this fight will not be easy — just take a look at the makeup of Congress. Anti-gun, anti-freedom Speaker Nancy Pelosi has an enormous House majority.

Throwing party labels aside in the Senate and counting EVERY anti-gun Senator leaves you and me with a steep hill to climb. And, of course, we can’t forget about President Obama.

He’s already come out publicly in favor of Senator Lindsey Graham’s and Chuck Schumer’s “bipartisan” bill — so you and I must expect he’ll do whatever it takes to enact the Federal Biometric ID scheme.

There’s no doubt about it — our backs are against the wall.

But there is good news.
Coming on the heels of the Healthcare fight — and all the lies, smoky backroom deals and outright bribery employed to ram the bill into law — there’s not a real cozy feeling of “bipartisanship” right now in the U.S. Senate.

That’s a HUGE plus.

It could be that with the exception of Senator Graham and perhaps a couple of others, you and I may not have as much difficulty in keeping even marginally pro-gun Republican U.S. Senators in our fold as we would normally.

Also, many key Democrat Senators come from states that have recently REFUSED to comply with the original DANGEROUS ID Bill.

As we move deeper into this election year, many of these Democrats are going to grow even more nervous about voting AGAINST their state legislatures to pass the similar new Federal Biometric ID Scheme.

That means we can win this fight, but it won’t be easy. The anti-gun politicians believe their best shot at passing the Federal Biometric ID scheme is to move FAST.

That’s why your IMMEDIATE help is so vital.

You see, I’ve already prepared a massive targeted mail, phone and e-mail program that I’m ready to launch as soon as I can pay the up-front costs. And then if I can raise the resources, I’d like to run hard-hitting radio, TV and newspaper ads, as well.

The goal is to start a grassroots fire against a new Federal Biometric ID scheme in the states represented by key Republican and Democrat Senators. We’ll point out that there’s an overwhelming majority of citizens in their states who are opposed to a Federal Biometric ID card.

We’ll also mention these voters are ALL watching these Senators’ votes very carefully this election year.

Believe me, these Senators WILL get the message. This could be the major, knock-down, drag-out fight we’ve been waiting for ever since President Obama was elected.

Until now, we’ve beaten the gun-control crowd to the punch — publicizing and mobilizing a firestorm of grassroots opposition to the gun-grabbers radical schemes before they could even get them off the ground.

In Liberty,

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. – -(Ammoland.com)- The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced the winners of the 2009 West Virginia Big Buck Contest, according to Gene Thorn, Chairman of the West Virginia Big Buck Contest Review Committee.

The contest is cosponsored by the DNR, Izaak Walton League of West Virginia, West Virginia Bowhunter’s Association, West Virginia Muzzleloader’s Association, West Virginia Physically Challenged Advisory Board, and Toyota to recognize sportsmen and women who take an extraordinarily big antlered buck in West Virginia.

This past year, 260 hunters had their deer antlers scored at one of the six DNR district offices, field offices, or during the West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show in Charleston. Eighty (80) hunters qualified for the 2009 Big Buck Contest by entering their legally harvested bucks into one of three categories (gun, bow or crossbow). Contestants were required to meet certain conditions to participate: deer antlers needed to meet or exceed a minimum score established for the respective category, an Official Game Check Tag had to be presented, and a Fair Chase Statement had to be signed.

Twelve bucks killed by gun hunters scored above 140 points typical or 165 points non-typical. In the Typical Gun category, the winner was Kenneth Carpenter from Streetsboro, Ohio, with a 12-point buck killed in Kanawha County that scored 163 7/8. There were no entries this year in the Non-typical Gun category.

Bowhunters killed 67 deer that scored above 125 points typical or 155 points non-typical. The winner of the Typical Bow category was Jason Kerns of Shepherdsville, Ky., with a 14-point buck from Logan County that scored 162 3/8. The Non-typical Bow category winner was Howard Powell III of Parkersburg, W.Va., with a huge 23-point buck taken in Wood County that scored 193 1/8. Howards’s buck took over the #4 position for Non-typical Bow kills in the list that ranks the top five buck scores for all time in West Virginia.

One buck killed by a physically challenged crossbow hunter scored above 125 points typical or 155 points non-typical. The Typical Crossbow category winner was Bobby Grose of Rock, W.Va., with a 9-point Mercer County buck that scored 131 3/8. There was no non-typical buck taken with the crossbow this year that met the minimum score.

The Boone and Crockett Club, or Pope and Young Club, rating systems are used to score bucks, depending upon the method of harvest. The Boone and Crockett Club guidelines are used to score deer harvested with a firearm, muzzleloader, or crossbow (used by physically challenged hunters with a Class Y Permit). Certificates are presented for racks scoring at least 140 points typical or 165 points non-typical for firearms and muzzleloaders, and scoring at least 125 points typical or 155 points non-typical for crossbow. Deer harvested with a bow are measured according to Pope and Young Club standards, and they are recognized with a certificate for racks scoring at least 125 points typical or 155 points non-typical.

The winner in each category will receive a plaque during the 2010 National Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration, held the last weekend of September at Stonewall Resort State Park. A list of bucks meeting the minimum qualifications will be posted on the DNR’s website: www.wvdnr.gov/hunting/BigBuckContest.shtm

The Big Buck Contest Committee thanks all the hunters who participated in this year’s contest.
