Do you want more?

As the world is going round, there is plenty more to speak about and address. If you want more, drop me a note.

I can move much of the stuff I post on Facebook here, and actually share an opinion on it openly here.

Let me know, and drop a note.

Cheers!

Power play

Wow, it has been a while.

The election is over, Obama is the President of our nation, and the power plays have begun.

I always spend much time examining people who are against the 2nd Amendment. I have come up with only a few reasons for such. One is emotional, the other, power.

I can completely relate and understand the emotional people. I personally hate small Dodge cars after I got hit by one on my motorcycle. I also think minivans are the worst thing in the world and have wanted them removed from society after a friend of mine died in one. But here is the rub. I am blaming the object, not the person who was supposed to be in control. I should not dislike small cars or minivans for the damage they have caused. I should and rightfully so dislike the people who were erroneous in their judgment. They did not live up to the responsibilities we as a society have set for them. Is it the cars fault when a drunk driver kills someone? Should GM, FORD, or any other company pay the price for Drunk Drivers?

The answer is no. Those against the gun as an object are looking at the tool used. They do not want, or cannot, look at the criminal and ask that justice be carried out on them. If we look deeper into this, people would want to burn down the bathtub manufacturer's in this world because they cause many more deaths each year than guns. Cars are the bane of our nation when we see how many people get killed by them each year.

So, I can make a promise not to dislike minivans and small Dodge cars with the complete forgiveness and understanding that they were not the problem, but the person behind the wheel.

Now, this takes us the the Power side of anti-gunners and their hate for the 2nd Amendment. They prey on the emotional people and their lack of rational thinking.

This is going to look at those wanting to use the power of an unarmed America. Citizens are only citizens as long as they have the right and power to disagree with those in power. Without this you are only a servant, slave, fief, serf, prisoner of who ever is in power. Tyranny has so many names for the oppressed people they control. We can look back in modern history and see that an armed populace has not become one of these. Hitler made sure the private ownership of firearms was done away with before they started "cleaning" Germany and conquered lands of those who disagreed with them.

Can this happen again? It has in many nations. How many times did the Sudanese government "reduce" arms in Dar fur? It is easier to kill people when they cannot shoot back. Tibet was screwed from the beginning because no-one knew how to use a gun much less own one when the Chinese rolled through their country like bugs were biting them.

I figure it this way when anyone is anti-gun. They do not trust me and all other law abiding citizens with having guns. Why would they fear us, the People of our nation? Are you already thinking about doing something where you have to fear a nation of people wanting to kill you? Perhaps something like taking our Bill of Rights away from us? You cannot call something a Right one day and then change your mind the next and tell people they do not have it anymore.

These are the enemy. They hide behind lies and deception to advance their position of power all in the name of being better for you. History can repeat itself if no one pays attention.

Independence forever

Independence forever.

John Adams' last public words as a toast for the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

Have you ever really thought about this? I mean, really think about this?

I challenge anyone who reads my thoughts here to turn off the TV, turn off the computer, turn off the radio and think for yourself for a bit. Hell, make it an entire day, or better yet, think for yourself for the rest of your life.

Sitting in a car doing surveillance for hours, sometimes days on end, you get a chance to think long and hard on anything in your life. You get to watch people live their lives. Some people, you can tell they do the same thing day after day after day. You can tell by their cars, their house, and their clothes that nothing in their life varies far from TV. I bet that not only is their outer self is stuck in the view of a fake world, but their inner life too.

People literally build a world around themselves and turn off their mind. They become slaves to society. Unless someone tells them how to think, they don't. They do not seek anything on their own. Unless someone tells them to read a book, they won't. Perhaps our schools programed them to follow the norm. They fell into the dumbing down of themselves for life by never asking questions, never asking why is that the only way, and never challenging authority. These people only do because "that's what everyone else is doing".

I hate doing what "everyone" else does. Perhaps that's why I love skiing. We only get roughly 1% of the population. Offroading, again, 1% of the population really ever go off road with their vehicles. I respect someone trying and learning, but at least they are doing something. 99% of SUV owners may never turn on the four wheel drive. Ok, let me be honest here, I am not, NOT quoting any exact figures here. I am speaking my mind, and my perspective. I believe in sharing my opinion with anyone who will listen. I have seen that many will listen, and, it causes them to think. The best ones, they ask questions. Sometimes, my opinion causes mischief. I cause and enjoy helping people become misfits. For many, they have never broken free of the mold. Seeing their eyes shine with life, this is the best reward anyone can see.

Once this happens, they are usually hooked. Mischief is addicting. Not crime, not evil actions, but plain old good Mischief. Mischief usually begins with learning some truth about life. Some learn the lesson that fear is only a restraint on good fun. I love finding myself on a slope that is steeper than I am used to. I love watching someone drive a JEEP over something that would destroy any other vehicle. I love going out into the back country armed with my rifle and myself, nothing else, or anyone else. I usually find myself placed in a situation which scares me silly on a regular basis. I do have to admit, I seek them out.

When was the last time you went out and did something? I do not mean going out for dinner, or going to a movie, or going shopping. I mean going OUT. If you have a day off, call a friend and go shooting. If you do not have a gun, go hiking somewhere you have never been. Learn how to use a compass, a GPS, and also learn how to read a map. Pick a spot on the map that you have NEVER seen before. You might find yourself standing somewhere that NO-ONE has stood for years. Do something independent of others. Bring an apple. Sit and eat it. Think about your life.

Once one does something independently, they usually get hooked. Being someone who is not afraid to stand on their own two feet alone stands out from the crowd. Their eyes change. They become fired up about life. They begin to rebel. It might be something as quiet as thinking differently than the masses. It could be as loud as wearing clothes which are not what everyone else wears. Some begin to speak out, others begin to act.

Independence to be yourself, and not a TV influenced lackey. Look at some of those stuck in that life. Bored. Bored until their favorite show come on. Yawn....

Once you turn off the rest of the world and begin to think for yourself, you gain Independence. If you do not understand independence, read about those who created our nation. Read quotes, letters, books, documents, and anything else they were speaking about. The only people who do not like or understand American Independence are those who cannot, or do not think for themselves. Go for a bike ride to a quiet park and read the Declaration of Independence and then, think about what was said. Study it section by section, word for word. It will set you free. If you do not have a bike, drive. Get out of the car and sit in the sun, the wind, and feel nature.

Feel freedom, real freedom. Imagine the people who never even tasted freedom. If they even got one day to be free, it was remembered for the rest of their life. How do you explain freedom to someone who has always been oppressed? What words would you use? Would they even understand you? Where would you begin?

Break from trends, break from the popular. The people who follow trends only are comparing their goods to others. Who cares? I do not. If you own a sports car, oh well... Just because you have one, it doesn't make me want one. I might look at it and smile, but I don't want it, or need it. I am free of your need to be popular and trendy. I am Independent. I love not feeling like I need something because I see something. I do not feel want for others things. I want my things. I want my rights, my privacy, my ability to go out and enjoy my rights at any time I choose.

Perhaps you should go and experience each of your rights. Go watch a court and learn about the law. Go speak your mind about what you wish the world was like. Go get a group of friends together just to gather and hang out. Shoot a gun at a gun range. Call a senator and complain that you do not like the way they voted on a law you liked or disliked. Go worship God. Write a letter and share it with others. Write a letter to your local paper, or one which had a story you felt strongly about, even if you have never been to that town. Go to the courthouse a pull the records on someone and see what issues they have had in the past. Sit in a courtroom and listen for awhile. Listen to the people. Go talk to someone you have never spoken with before.

Until you get to use your rights, you will never understand your rights. A person with many rights and freedoms knows Liberty.

If someone other than you controls you, you are not free. Get control of yourself and keep control of yourself. Beware of those who want to control you. They want for themselves and not for you.

Gunnison Sportsmen's Association

I would love it if every gun owner in the Gunnison Valley area joined the Gunnison Sportsmen's Association.

If you are a hunter, target shooter, self defense shooter, there is something for you to enjoy at the GSA ranges.

This isn't an adult only area either. Kids programs happen year round. From Boy Scouts, Future Farmers of America, 4H, and the pee wee gun club, kids can be involved and instructed by NRA certified instructors.

Women, the more you get involved, the more courses and events that are focused on ladies only events. Whether it is Women on Target, First Steps, Refuse To Be A Victim, you can find an event for you too.

The GSA is also a part of the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program), the CSSA (Colorado State Shooting Association), the NRA (National Rifle Association), and many other groups.

Vote For Obama, NOT!!!

Hey, if you are for CIVIL RIGHTS, do not vote for Obama.

Here is his voting record on the 2nd Amendment.

Obama Voting On Guns

On the Second Amendment,
Don’t Believe Obama!

If you vote, use it on anyone but him.

We should get a "F" from the Brady Campaign

Wow,

I was just listening to Cam and Company and discovered states with the lowest grades from the Brady Campaign also have the lowest murder rates.

Oh, the grades are determined by overall gun ownership.

Buy guns, lots of guns.
