Gun free zones should be held liable for the deaths they cause

Most of the mass shootings lately have happened in self proclaimed gun free zones. They have been a drawing card for deranged killers who want to make sure they can fire into defenseless people without the worry of having fire returned.

Time and again these gun free zones have been targeted and time and again, people are bewildered why it happens. But the answer is simple; these advertised gun free zones invite attack.

Politicians simplistic solution is to put tighter restrictions on law abiding citizens, thinking if they make it harder to obtain a certain type of firearm, it will make the senseless shootings stop. It won’t

But perhaps it’s time to assign responsibility to those who think they can proclaim an area a gun free zone with a sign or a proclamation, but don’t provide protection for the people that frequent those locations.

Airports and commercial aircraft are “gun free zones.” You can be pretty much assured that these gun free zones offer you protection by strict security screening of those they allow in and plenty of armed security on the premises to quell any violence that may occur.

Government buildings in Washington DC are “gun free zones.” There is armed security everywhere, seen and unseen, to protect the precious ruling class.

In the self proclaimed, utopian, “gun free” zones set up all over America, law abiding citizens are not allowed to carry firearms.  For that trade off, shouldn’t patrons, students, and employees expect tight security?  If these entities are going to require law abiding citizens to be helpless, whether it is a movie theater, shopping mall, school or office building, don’t they owe their clientele the utmost security that can be provided?

See the gun control debate between Piers Morgan and Jesse Ventura: Debate

The stark reality of this truth came through loud and clear when James O’Keefe, of undercover video fame, targeted journalists, many of whom were involved in the public outing of gun owners in their community.  See O’Keefe’s hilarious video

O’Keefe’s group, “Project Veritas” poses as “Citizens Against Senseless Violence,” and visits the homes of journalists working for Westchester Journal News, MSNBC, and the Star-Ledger. They also visit the home of Eric Holder. Hypocritically, none will take the signs that say “THIS HOME IS PROUDLY GUN FREE.”

Even the rabid anti gun members of the left leaning media know that proclaiming you are a gun free zone, announces to the world you are easy pickings.  Perhaps it’s time for the litigation industry to pick up on this fact when they seek damages for the death and injury gun free zones have triggered.

The assault by the left on gun rights, is an assault on women

As a demographic, American women are purchasing firearms at the greatest rate in our nation’s history.

But at the peak, the President and the left, are making a concerted effort to demonize gun ownership and put strict gun controls on law abiding American citizens, which includes women.

One left wing news publication in New York even went so far as to publish the names and addresses of legal gun owners in areas of New York, as if to shame them. See NY Journal News exposes gun owners to danger

Perhaps they didn’t realize when they published these names; they exposed women who were gun owners trying to keep their identities and residences secret in order to evade stalkers. This publication also outed the names and addresses of women judges and police officers, who were legal gun owners.

The two biggest gun control cities in the US; Chicago and New York City, are already shooting galleries, in spite of their tough gun laws.  Law abiding citizens find it difficult to possess a legal firearm, yet the criminals and gangsters are heavily armed….They don’t register their guns and they have high capacity ammunition magazines, in spite of them being illegal.

Women and their right to protect themselves:

Brave Mom protects her infant and shoots intruder

Americans wanted the 2nd Amendment under their Christmas tree

Trayvon Martin shooting was not an act of racism, but a community trying to defend itself

----------------------------------------------------------

Just last week, a Georgia woman alone at home with her two young children was terrified to see a man breaking into her house using a crowbar.  She gathered up her children and ran upstairs hiding in a crawl space as the man searched the house looking for them. See CBS News story

The intruder finally opened the door to the hiding space. But instead of finding helpless victims, he was greeted with 6 shots from a pistol.  She shot the criminal 5 times in the face and neck, when the hammer came down on an empty cylinder.

The gun was empty, but the criminal didn’t know it. She told him she would keep shooting if he didn’t stop. Although severely wounded he was able to get out of the house and climb into his car and drive away, thinking the woman would shoot again.

If he knew she had no more bullets in her gun would he have harmed her and her children?  Suppose there were 2 or more intruders? She would not have had enough ammunition to defend herself and her children.

Of course the police arrived later to take reports…But they weren’t there when they were needed.

Many women live alone and want the security of owning a firearm and know how to safely use it. If they want to own a semi automatic rifle with a high capacity magazine, as long as they are law abiding citizens, let them. President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, Governor’s Cuomo, or Emmanuel, can’t guarantee law abiding citizens a crime free environment, in spite of all of their laws. These politicians should deal with the criminal and mental health problem that that they refuse to address, before they infringe on the 2^nd amendment rights of law abiding citizens.  

In spite of the pathetic attempt to wave a magic wand and declare a location a “gun free zone” and make it all better, this has proven to have the opposite effect, as the recent mass shootings have all occurred in “gun free zones.”

Just like many utopian run cities and locations used to proudly boast they were nuclear free zones, they of course would get incinerated just as crisply as their neighboring cities if a nuke went off near them.

The 2^nd Amendment guarantees American citizens, including women, the right to bear arms and it shall not be infringed upon.

As depth of betrayal sinks in, followers of Al Gore feel confused and misled

Al Gore

In the history of mankind there are countless instances of cult figures who have lead their followers to ruin and disillusionment.  Names like Jim Jones, David Koresh, The Pied Piper,  Bernie Madoff, Adolph Hitler, Charles Manson, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and a whole host of TV evangelists have done their damage.  

It was easy for those outside and not sucked in by these hucksters to see the message they peddled defied logic, science and the laws of economics:  Alchemy, master race, buy your way into heaven, getting something for nothing, all have that common thread.

But the lard used to hold it all together is usually tinged with a sort of religious fervor, transferred to that central figure, giving them cult like central power. It is a common thread that overcomes the doubt to accept a belief, no matter how self destructive, or outrageous it is. 

In a sort of herd mentality, anyone that dares to question their core beliefs is immediately attacked and marginalized; labeled a “denier,” or a scientific/economic “blasphemer.”

But these cults have not only lead their followers to death, destruction, financial and spiritual ruin; many of them have brought those repercussions to the rest of society.

Former vice president, Al Gore, is a prime example of a modern day cult figure to his followers.  His warning against man caused global warming, causing ice caps to melt, catastrophic storms, to wipe us out and cause mass extinctions, is all based on the burning of fossil fuels to power our civilization.

Followers/True Believes of Mr. Gore, burn with religious fervor as they recite historic temperature variations & green house gas concentrations, proving the earth is headed towards certain destruction due to the burning of fossil fuels.  We must repent now!

But all the while, Mr. Gore was making hundreds of millions from his “work” and many of the green movements/companies that get government funding, have Mr. Gore’s fingerprints on them somewhere.   

But crushingly, Gores followers are starting to realize Mr. Gores feet are made of clay.  He sold his failing "Current" cable-television station for about $500 million, which he personally gets 100 million, to the anti-American Al-Jazeera media company…which is owned by the fossil-fuel-rich royal family of Qatar.

Gore rushed to close the deal before the first of the year to avoid the very capital-gains tax hikes that he has advocated for others less well off.

In one fell swoop Mr. Gore has enhanced a fossil-fuel consortium, attempted to beat tax hikes he has advocated that others should pay and empowered an anti-American/anti-Semitic media conglomerate.  

The blatant hypocrisy & betrayal to the cause has not been lost on his followers who have expressed shock and bewilderment that their titular leader of the “green movement” sold them out for 100 million pieces of silver.

Employees of  Current TV, have been quoted as saying,  according to Fox News:

“He has no credibility. He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls---ter sells to the emir?”

The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.

“We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls---ter,” said one staffer bluntly. “Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!”

All of this from a former vice president who crusades for ending our reliance on fossil fuels and for raising taxes on the wealthy.

Let’s hope this cult story doesn’t end badly for the rest of us.

Are the killer dogs in Mexico City weapons of a drug cartel?

Canary Island Mastiff

News headlines blared that 4 people have been found dead and partially eaten in Mexico City’s Cerro de la Estrella, a partially wooded hill top park.

Sources say the victims were killed by packs of feral dogs.  The large park is home to many abandoned dogs  who eke out a living in this impoverished section of Mexico’s capital.

Authorities are warning people to stay out of the park until they get to the bottom of the deaths.

But many people are saying it is hard to believe that the dogs roaming around the park are capable of inflicting the great bodily harm they are seeing on the victims and also say nothing like this has happened before. There have been reports of some minor attacks on humans in the past, but none fatal.

Police are combing through the park capturing any dogs they find to see if any of them are the killers.  But pictures of some of the newly captured dogs hardly fit the description of killer types, but are the more cute and cuddly type including: beagles, maltese, poodles; etc.

 Antemio Maya, president of the Street Dog Protection association in Mexico City, doubts that these dogs could have killed the people found in the park.

'It's not the behavior of street dogs to kill humans,' Maya said. Besides look at the dogs captured so far, do they look like killer type dogs?

But Mexico City prosecutors said in a statement: “Experts have established that due to the gravity of the wounds, at least 10 dogs were involved in each attack.”

The 4 victims were found in different parts of the park and all had died from bleeding to death caused by their wounds.  Prosecutors say evidence shows the victims were not killed elsewhere and dumped in the park.

One of the victims had her arm torn off and all of them had been partially eaten.

But if it is not the parks feral dogs killing these people then what is it?

Mans best friend can also be a fierce-some enemy 

There is some speculation, that the victims could have been killed by trained attack dogs used by some of the Mexican drug cartels. 

Some breeds like the Canary Island Mastiff  are favorites of gangs.  These breeds can weigh 120 lbs and are trained to be ferocious killers, as evidenced by a woman killed by a pair of them in San Francisco several years ago.  See Kimberly Guilfoyle prosecutes dog owners.

It is also speculated that the victims could have been killed by pit bull fighting dogs who got unleashed and killed the humans.

Throughout the centuries dogs have been trained in warfare and there are many books written on their exploits.  Ancient armies were accompanied by their dogs of war that they would unleash on their enemies causing terror.

During the war of 1812, at the battle of New Orleans, the American army under General Jackson, unleashed their hounds on the British soldiers, who had turned and run. As written about in a famous song.

But dogs have been known to change character when more than a couple of them team up…It seems a wildness comes out in them and they do resort to violence as is evidenced by massive kills of livestock by packs of domestic dogs….Who kill just to kill, not to eat.

But to attack humans and actually kill and eat them, is a rarity among domestic stray dogs in a civilized society.

It will be interesting to see if the Mexican authorities get to the bottom of this.  They say they will round up all of the stray dogs in the area and test their stomach content to see if they have been dining on humans…Stay tuned

The Muslim version of Rosa Parks deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

City buses have been the scene of transformational moments in human history.

In 1955 Montgomery Alabama, a young black woman was told to sit at the back of the bus, the section reserved  for 2^nd class citizens. But this day was different, this day she refused to go to the back “black section” and stayed in her seat up front…..For this impertinence she was jailed.  But as a result of her courage, millions of others refused to sit at the back of the bus and Rosa Parks is synonymous with the American civil rights movement.

On another bus, 3 months ago and continents away, another brave young woman was punished for her refusal to sit at the “educational” back of the bus.  A gunman boarded her school bus, singled her out for execution by cowardly shooting her in the head and then again in the chest.

15 year old Malala Yousafzai was targeted because she was an activist for women’s rights and equal education.  This is a slap in the face to Muslim extremists who view women as 2^nd class citizens, not worthy of an education or other rights accorded to men.

Gravely wounded, she was airlifted to England for medical treatment and sanctuary.   After 3 months  she was just released from the hospital where she has made miraculous progress. According to Doctors she will require future surgery to repair her damaged skull, but they expect her to regain at least 85% of her cognitive ability and perhaps return to activism.

She won worldwide recognition, and has become a symbol for the struggle for women’s rights in Pakistan as well as other countries where women are relegated to 2^nd class status due to religious and cultural beliefs. 

Indicating her growing popularity and inspiration, she was one of the few nominated for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2012.  Additionally, tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for Malala to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Just like the courageous Rosa Parks lifted America out of its blindness and brought it into the light.  The courageous Malala Yousafzai can be the light bearer for her culture and lead it out of the darkness of repression.  For her courage and inspiration she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sperm donor might be on the hook for child support; is that “fair”?

Marotta

It’s a mixed up, jumbled up, shook up world these days, but especially for William Marotta.

Marotta, a Kansas City man responded to a Craigslist ad 3 years ago placed there by a lesbian couple. The couple was looking for a sperm donor to help them conceive a child.   Marotta, the Good Samaritan, was up for the task.

Marotta and the couple signed an agreement stating his responsibilities for the future child stopped with his donation.  He was not to be involved in the raising of the child, have any financial responsibility, or have any contact with the child…..Pretty much a standard agreement for this type of situation.

But the lesbian couple, broke up and then sought welfare assistance from the state of Kansas.  This set off an investigation by the state on behalf of its taxpayers who have to foot the bill…and the trail lead to Marottas front door.

Evidently the state of Kansas doesn’t think Marottas responsibilities stopped after his donation and have decided to make him financially responsible for the child.

Bauer/Schreiner

The state of Kansas says since the impregnation procedure wasn’t done under the auspices of a Dr’s supervision, the agreement the couple and Marotta have, is not valid.

Marotta has lawyered up and already claims the state has no proof it is his child, since no DNA  tests have been performed. Besides, it’s not fair since he had a written agreement with the couple.

The state of Kansas is claiming it’s not fair for the citizens of Kansas to pay for other peoples children.

Hillary Clinton popularized the often repeated quote “it takes a village to raise a child.”  Evidently Kansas doesn’t agree with the “village” meme and they want these 3 villagers to pay for their own children.

 Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner, the couple who have now separated, plan to help Marotta fight the state’s decision to force him to pay child support.

These three did create a human life. Is it fair that the state requests they be financially responsible for it and not expect the taxpayers to pick up the tab?  We all have rights, but there are responsibilities as well.

It’s time for the GOP to get a new playbook & use its powerful young bench

 It is apparent the GOP has been outmaneuvered in the message department when they try to convey what they stand for to the general public.

It’s no secret that President Obama and his advisers have tapped in to the popular main stream media and skillfully used it to their advantage when it comes to getting their version of the “truth.”

The GOP has been outplayed in this department for the past 4 years.

Claims from President Obama and his administration go unchallenged in the popular media and eventually become the “truth” because the GOP has lost the ability to challenge them. 

The GOP needs to immediately replace its present leaders who have presided over one failure after another and have allowed their message to be hijacked.

Speaker of the House John Boehner has proved repeatedly he is no match for the negotiating skills of Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.  His previous pledges of forcing fiscal sanity on this administration have proven to be hollow…He needs to be replaced with someone who has better negotiating skills.

The House has the power of the purse strings and has never used this power to get concessions out of this administration.  Get someone in there who is not afraid of using this power to extract concessions from this administration.

Minority Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell has been at the helm for 4 years of concessions, it is time for him to step down and let a fresh face in there.

The Republican Party has many powerful, articulate and younger faces in their stable of talent and should use them to their advantage….NOW. It is not the time to go along to get along & let whoever is next in line to step to the forefront, it is time for bold moves.

But these key changes in leadership should be coupled with a new PR campaign by the Republicans to get their message to the citizens.  The GOP needs a designated spokesman who can relate to the vast majority of the middle class Americans and speak their language....not another perceived country club Republican, or plutocrat.

The GOP should have several of its younger, articulate members at the ready, to stand up and answer President Obama the next time he has a one way conversation with the American public.

Of course, the media will most likely not cooperate in helping to level the playing field in the field of ideas, so the Republicans should be ready to buy millions in prime time ads to speak to the public. They should also aggressively get involved in the new political battlefield of ideas in Twitter/Facebook.  They are woefully behind the curve in the new media.

The GOP could show it’s depth by highlighting Senator Marco Rubio, let him be a main spokesman. He is comfortable in the media and can articulately explain complicated issues in a simple way.  Senator Rubio also has a star quality about him that can be tapped into and he would be welcomed in popular media venues.

The GOP has many other young articulate spokespersons that can be thrust into the media spotlight to counter the unanswered barrage of information coming from the left.  Names like Martinez, Cantor, Cruz, Ayotte, Haley and many others, including Darrell Issa & Rand Paul…The GOP  bench is wide and deep.....use it now
