It began last October as citizens began to sense that the 2008 elections would bring the most anti-gun partisans to Washington in U.S. history. Their hunch was correct. November of '08 witnessed a sweep into D.C. of Senators, Congressmen, and a President that were all on record supporting strict gun control, many of whom had even supported an outright ban of all handguns in America.

He was appointed with fanfare as the public watchdog over the government's multi-billion dollar bailout of the nation's financial system. But now Neil Barofsky is embroiled in a dispute with the Obama administration that delayed one recent inquiry and sparked questions about his ability to freely investigate.

WHAT IS THIS ADMINISTRATION TRYING TO HIDE?

It is believed by some that state and local governments may choose to deny citizens the rights defined by the Bill of Rights.
Should the federal government protect ALL your rights EVERYWHERE in the USA?
-----------------------------------------------------

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Earlier this year, Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y. Introduced H. J. Res. 5, a bill that would repeal The Constitution’s 22nd Amendment which prohibits a president from being elected to more than two terms in office, thus potentially paving the way to make Barack Obama president for life.

Any constitutional limit on government power either extends to state and local governments, or none do. Picking and choosing which articles of the Bill of Rights will be respected must stop!
Sonia Sotomayor does not believe that the 2nd amendment applies to state and local government, she is wrong about this, or does not care what the law means.
The Constitution is the law of the nation, it is the protective shield between each American citizen and government, and between each American citizen and the excesses of democracy.
Tyranny by government is no worse than tyranny by popular vote, both are evil!
The Founders knew this to be true, it is why they formed a REPUBLIC!
"The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed--where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once".

Only a very small percentage of guns or gunowners are ever involved in a case of misuse. The statistics are there to show where the problems are. Go in and handle the problem areas, and watch crime levels fall. Restricting honest people doesn't do a thing but make them mad at you, I'm am really getting fed up with you hoplophobics.

The greatest travesty ever to take place in this nation was allowing government to use the term "civil rights". All that was needed was to require that the inalienable rights of all Americans be respected. That, however, would not support the illusion that government wanted to create, government as the source, and dispenser, of all rights.

The current slide into socialism will guarantee that almost everyone will be a peasant! That is your version of equality! It was possible to get a decent education decades ago, and many of us did!
I suppose you'd have to say that most people in North Korea are well educated, by your standards.

This isn't a matter of race, for me anyway. I would oppose Obama's political philosophy if he were a red haired Irishman. I really get tired of the insinuations that I am a racist. It is unfair, because there is no defense, unless you know me personally. I have an African American 2nd cousin, by marriage, and a couple of others who are Jews, and my maternal grandmother was Cherokee. All kinds of people are in and out of this house, on a regular basis, as friends.
It is an unfortunate fact that when you are critical of any minority individual some people will believe that the criticism is only based on race. This prevents any honest debate or discussion. It makes me suspect that you don't really want honest debate or discussion. If you did you would cut the race card crap.
The country IS NOT moving forward, It is sliding downhill, towards serfdom. Individual worth, and individual liberties, are vanishing into thin air. We are headed toward becoming a beehive, instead of a nation of free men.
This may not trouble you, although I can't understand why, but it does trouble a considerable portion of the nation.
You will either respect us, or there will be friction. Obama does not have a mandate, and it is arrogant and foolish to think he does.
I will fight harder for my freedom than for anything else, and at this time I feel that my freedom is threatened. Your obvious arrogance doesn't give much hope for the future of the nation. You don't understand it at all!

The 2nd amendment says, "shall not be infringed".
There is no "allow" about it, self defense is one of the inalienable rights. Do you think that the government is required to protect you? Do you know that if you dial 911, and the cops don't come, and you get raped or robbed, or worse, that you CANNOT sue them?
I've been on the range many times when cops were practicing. Many of them are barely qualified to use a gun. How many times have you read about the cops firing off 40 or 50 rounds to stop someone? There is nothing special about cops that means they should be trusted to say who has a gun.

You seem to be confusing the barbarians with the good people. It isn't the great majority of gun owners who cause problems, just a very few, who cause a lot of problems. Actually, for the most part, they just shoot each other. I don't have a problem with that. It saves the state a lot of money!

azaleahs, many of us DO NOT live all clustered up in big cities. There isn't enough nerve gas in the world to even make a dent. You need to stop believing all the propaganda you hear.

I've been active on this issue for over 50 years. I've about concluded that "out of my cold, dead hands" is the most effective approach. I've heard so many lies from the gun grabbers, and seen so many fake statistics, that expectig them to be reasonable is out of the question.
Their efforts are phobia driven, for the well meaning ones, but phobias are still a mental illness. Others are elitists, unable to stand the thought of power in the hands of peons.
The second amendment is based on an understanding of history, intended to prevent a repeat of the many historical abuses of power.It is the most liberal, the most progressive, statement in the entire Constitution.
OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS! Take your petty tyranny somewhere it is wanted, this Nation is for free men!

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson


"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429

"When patience has begotten false estimates of its motives, when wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality." --Thomas Jefferson to M. deStael, 1807. ME 11:282

The socialists have been training dictators in waiting for decades. The Rhodes scholarship program is one example. Bill Clinton made visits to the Gramsci Institute in Rome. Most Americans don't have a clue. Go ask around, "who was Antonio Gramsci"? Not many will know, do you? Gramsci modified Marxism, to make it more effective at conquering societies with strong traditions of freedom.

I've been addressing them, you aren't hearing me.
The gross misuse of guns is concentrated in limited areas, populated in large degree by members of particular sub cultures. Much of the violent crime in rural areas is leakage from the large urban areas. It is not my fault and it is not my problem. I stay out of those places and don't associate with barbarians. You might call me a redneck, maybe I am, but I've never abandoned any kids, never cheated on my wife, or got too drunk or stoned to keep a job.
I have sacrificed more than enough already, when you threaten my freedom it is just the same as if you are attacking me physically, and I will defend myself.

I didn't graduate with my class. I signed up for the GED, 18 years after I should have graduated. I just walked in and took the exams. I started at 9AM, took a lunch break, took the math section, and handed that in at about 2PM. The proctor told me he hated to see anyone give up. I told him I was finished. I graduated as Valedictorian that year. This doesn't mean I'm all that smart, it means the exams are way too easy.
I know that some students finish high school with a decent education, but most of them would do just fine, on their own, in a good library. They might do even better, without the disruptions caused by people who don't want to learn, or can't.
The idea that everyone should have a high school diploma or a college degree is ridiculous, it is politically correct nonsense. We'd be better off with good trade schools for those with no interest in academics. Lowering educational standards to accomodate everyone is foolish.

Anything that interferes with the process of producing a viable next generation is counterproductive, for any species. Any lesser animal species than Homo sapiens would be well on the way to extinction by now, had it ignored natural law as man has. Some of you are big fans of evolutioonary theory, you'd best believe that a species can devolve as well, and become incapable of survival.
A family structure based on two parents, a male and a female, is an evolutionary development. It provides a better chance for the next generation than any other arrangement. Anything that threatens this is suicidal for the species.
Natural selection dictates that the strongest and smartest are the most successful breeders, we subsidize the weakest and less intelligent, so they now reproduce the fastest. You may call it tolerance, nature calls it insanity.
This isn't a religious thing, religions just adopted the obvious, from observation, natural laws, and codified it.

This is an urban/rural split, people attracted by, or born in, large cities are more likely to see government as the solution to all problems. This becomes the antihesis of freedom.
So long as rural voters held numerical majority we were able to consider ourselves a free nation. That isn't the case now. The federal government has no business imposing New York City or Chicago social philosophy on the nation as a whole, but it does.
We need to return autonomy to state and local governments, and kick the feds back to their side of the line.

Who is saying that convicted felons are protected by the 2nd amendment?
It is obvous that some people, including some politicians, are phobic when it comes to weapons. As with any phobia, it isn't rational or reasoned thinking when applied across the board.
It is also very obvious that while many people speak of "reasonable" gun laws, they are actually working toward a total ban.
The Founding Fathers had very good reason to provide us with the 2nd amendment. I'm of the mind that anyone who doesn't like it should just leave, Cuba may be just the place for them!

has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't

No one has a problem with protecting society from felons and the insane. Other than that, however, most of the gun control laws now on the books are unconstitutional.There are obviously problems in some large cities, some people abuse freedom. Go after them to solve the problems, one way would be to allow decent citizens to effectively defend themselves. Stop blaming freedom for abuses of freedom, respect decent people, don't treat them like the barbarians who cause the problems.
Americans have an amazing record of responsible behavior involving firearms, the abusers are only a tiny minority.

Every house around here has it's own security system, usually a 12 guage shotgun next to the door. Crime is almost nonexistent. I don't have to lock everything up.

I can do carpenter work, I was a qualified small engine mechanic, and a couple of times when I was laid off I drove a cab. I even made Dunkin Donuts for a while. When my family was young I would come home from work, put my little boat in the water and work the oyster banks, or dig clams. I ran a line of crab traps too. In the winter I hunted deer and hogs. My family never went hungry.
I met a guy several years ago who was 23. He was bragging about having 11 kids. I didn't ask him how many women were dumb enough to lie down for him, I wanted to smash his face, so I just got out of there before I did. That's 11 kids, with no decent father, living on welfare.

To a great extent this is an urban versus rural conflict. It was predicted long ago, and is the reason for the electoral college system. Now that urban voters outnumber rural voters the stage is set for constant conflict.

When I was a very young man African Americans were denied many of their rights in some areas, counter to what the Constitution guarantees them. The federal government sent agents into many of these areas, to enforce the Constitution. Now, the federal government may end up movoing agents into many areas to deprive citizens, black and white, of many of their rights.
The excuse that citizens in some places don't want their neighbors to have guns, and gun bans should be a local option, isn't much different than the excuses used by segregationists so many years ago.
The Constitution guarantees our rights, democracy guarantees absolutely nothing but tyranny!

If there is a need the state and local governments should handle it, better, and for less money.
As for governing ourselves, we were warned that our form of government was only suited for a certain sort of people, meaning that self discipline is required. We no longer require, or expect, self discipline, we actually reward hedonism.
The federal government's function is to see to a collective defense, and to protect individual rights, as recognized by the Constitution, nothing more. You will note that I used the term "recognized" here. My rights are inalienable, not "civil". Government did not give them to me, and government cannot take them away.

The federal government is already doing more than it was intended to do, why should we want to make it more efficient? Effective at what?

"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

Justice Thomas realizes that we all owe our freedom to the Constitution, not to democracy. There is racial equality throughout this land because the Constitution says it must be, not because a majority would have voted for it back in the 50s and 60s.
Freedom must be based on individual responsibility, however, and you have to be accountable for your actions. When you abuse freedom, you abuse all of us, and prison is where you belong.

In expecting government to do more for us you have sent the message that they can do more TO us. As a result, this nation is dangerously polarized, yet some of you still want to empower government even more. A nation so divided can only be ruled by force, and this government is more than eager to apply that force.
When this happens it won't matter where you stand now, you will be enslaved.
The only alternate is to return to a government limited by the Constitution, but it may be too late for that.
History records many nations ruined by socialism, we may just be the next one in the books.

Less than 1/10 of one percent of privately owned firearms are used for criminal purposes. Only a very small percentage of those who use guns misuse them.
