HONOR CHRIS KYLE: http://bit.ly/VUyggv


A magnificent bronze statue to commemorate fallen Navy Seal Chris Kyle is being created and we at TheTeaParty.net are proud to be working with the sculptor, Greg Marra, to help him raise funds to honor this great American hero. Chris Kyle’s widow, Taya, recently sent a letter talking about this project and we want to share it with you. 

LETTER FROM TAYA KYLE: Greg Marra is a classically trained artist with a master's degree in sculpting from New York Academy. What impressed me most about Greg is his desire to bring his talent to a realm so few artists will. That realm is reality for patriotic Americans who are not afraid to acknowledge guns and/or religion as it was in life for the people Greg is representing. Greg's heart, soul and passion for creating sculptures representing the entire person, as they were in life, made it easy to bring our loyalty to the sculpture of Chris. In a world overly concerned with political correctness, Greg's dedication to accurate representations of the people involved in history is refreshing. Our family found great comfort and healing in working with an artist so concerned with getting it right. He embraced and involved all ages and opinions of Chris' friends, family and teammates down to the smallest detail, in his desire to accurately represent the man we love. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Greg in memorializing Chris in bronze. Visit www.americanpatriotsinart.com to learn more about Greg Marra and support his work.

This is something that I have been wanting to post for a long time, but didn't want to post it in any way that would reflect how really PISSED OFF & ANGRY it makes me.  There are well over 50 million gun owner in this country and of that 50 million only approximately 5 million are members of the one organization that can truly make our irresponsible politicians pay attention to our 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS.  It only cost $35.00 a year, (that's less then .10 cents a day).  We as gun owners need to up our numbers in unity so that we can be recognized as a formidable force that is not to be messed with!  In case you haven't come to reason with it yet there is a REAL movement towards disarming the citizens in this country.  The reason for that is because without the means to stand up and protect our rights they will be taken away from us.  If you think that can't happen you better look back in your history books.  This current administration and the liberal media press will lie and use any means they can including the unfortunate deaths of innocent children, taken by a disturbed psycho.  This all to cover up the real problems that they don't have the intelligence nor desire to fix, drugs, criminal assaults, unemployment, immigration, out of control spending just to name a few.   

If you care about your rights that are dwindling away especially your right to have the means to protect yourself, you need to join the NRA today, if you are not a member.

7 Liberal Hypocrites Who Call For Gun Control While Being Protected By Guns

One of the great ironies of the gun control debate is that everyone who calls for gun control still wants a man with a gun protecting him. Every governor in America has armed security. You have to go through a metal detector guarded by men with guns to get into the Capitol building. Barack Obama has hundreds of Secret Service agents carrying fully automatic weapons who protect his safety. Even run-of-the-mill Democrats who want to take guns away from everyone else will unhesitatingly pick up the phone and call the police if they feel threatened -- so that a man with a gun can show up and make them safe.

But, if a man in a bad neighborhood wants a gun to make his family safe, a rape victim wants a gun to be protected, or just the average Joe wants a gun in case his life is endangered by a burglar, thug or the next Adam Lanza, these same people want to take their guns away. Pro-gun control Democrats may think we have an "upper class" that deserves to be protected with guns while it's okay if the "peons" get shot, but that goes against the core of what America is supposed to be. If your child's life is in danger, you should have every bit as much of a right and opportunity to defend his life as the Secret Service does to defend the President of the United States when he's threatened.

Unfortunately, there are some people in this country who apparently believe they're so special, so elite, so much better than the rest of the "riff-raff," that they should have a right to be protected even if you don't.

1) The Journal-News: The Journal News printed "the names and addresses of gun permit holders in Rockland and Westchester counties" as its way of taking a dig at gun owners. But, this attitude about guns certainly did change when the shoe was on the other foot.

Veritas video reporter James O’Keefe has released a new video of his team posing as an anti-gun group promoting an initiative to journalists.

At each home, the group dubbed as “Citizens Against Senseless Violence” asks homeowners if they are willing to put up a “Gun Free” sign in their yard.

O’Keefe primarily focuses his efforts on employees of the Journal-News – the New York newspaper that published a controversial map of registered gun owners online.

Armed security welcomes the Veritas team at some of the homes - as some of the newspaper's employees felt threatened once bloggers retaliated by posting their names and addresses online.

2) Dianne Feinstein: She introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 in the Senate.

"I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me." -- Dianne Feinstein

3) Mark Kelly, the husband of Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ): "Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an “assault weapon,” he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.

Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at a gun store in Tucson, Arizona.

Testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee January 30, Kelly had urged senators to restrict sales of firearms based on their lethality–a common refrain with other witnesses that day who argued that semi-automatic weapons, which chamber subsequent rounds as bullets are fired, and other guns with military-style features, level the playing field against law enforcement.

Kelly and Giffords founded their own advocacy group to restrict gun rights, Americans for Responsible Solutions, in January.

...Similarly, the ARS website says: “Congress should act to limit the sale of assault weapons."

4) Shania Twain: “Shania Twain didn't exactly have a shotgun wedding....in Puerto Rico ... but it sure was a pistol -- as in what the guards were packing on the beach during the ceremony,” TMZ.com reports.

We’re told there were 'several armed security guards.'

...But here’s the thing about the privileged Ms. Twain employing armed guards (lawbreaking or otherwise) in the first place—she’s a big advocate of infringements against those of us who can’t afford an armed security presence and must rely on being our own first line of defense.

She was one of the signers...of the Handgun Control, Inc. (since changed to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, to help mask their intentions) “Open Letter to the NRA,” a full page ad published in USA Today."

5) Rosie O'Donnell: "On her television show, April 19, 1999,O’Donnell had this to say about gun owners: “I don’t care if you want to hunt. I don’t care if you think it’s your right. I say, ‘Sorry.’ It is 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison.” Several months later, a bodyguard in her employ applied for a concealed gun permit from the Greenwich (Connecticut) Police Department. When queried about whether her bodyguard should carry a gun on May 24, 2000, she said, 'I don’t personally own a gun, but if you are qualified, licensed and registered, I have no problem.'"

6) Sarah Brady: "Gun-control advocate Sarah Brady bought her son a powerful rifle for Christmas...and may have skirted Delaware state background-check requirements, the Daily News has learned. Brady reveals in a new memoir that she bought James Brady Jr. a Remington.

30-06, complete with scope and safety lock, at a Lewes, Del., gun shop. "I can't describe how I felt when I picked up that rifle, loaded it into my little car and drove home," she writes. "It seemed so incredibly strange: Sarah Brady, of all people, packing heat.

"Brady became a household name as a crusader for stricter gun-control laws after her husband, James, then the White House press secretary, was seriously wounded in a 1981 assassination attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan."

7) Michael Moore: He's a staunch advocate of gun control who has gone so far as to suggest that merely owning a gun is racism, "…But on this particular day, on Martin Luther King Day, I think this needs to be said. That imaginary person that’s going to break into your home and kill you, who does that person look like? You know, it’s not freckle-faced Jimmy down the street, is it really? I mean, that’s not what really, that’s not what really people, we never really want to talk about the racial or the class part of this, in terms of how it’s the poor or it’s people of color that we imagine that we’re afraid of. Why are we afraid? What is that, and it’s been a fear that has existed for a very, very long time." -- Michael Moore

Yet, Michael Moore has an armed bodyguard. We know because that bodyguard was arrested carrying his weapon.

“Filmmaker Michael Moore’s bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York’s JFK airport....”

Interview: Attorney Evan Nappen Explains The Moore Ordeal And How To Protect Yourself From UnConstitutional Activity

March 21, 2013 by Sam Rolley

Attorney Evan Nappen

In an exclusive interview with Personal Liberty Digest™, attorney Evan Nappen, the author of three books and a nationally recognized authority on firearm laws, discussed how New Jersey police and a social worker attempted to gain unConstitutional access to Shawn Moore’s home and ways that Americans can protect themselves in similar circumstances.

Personal Liberty: Do you think what happened to Mr. Moore and his family was the result of the ongoing national demonization of gun owners?

Nappen: Really, what is going on now is a culture clash. Not that many years ago, a young boy having a .22 rifle wouldn’t have been considered a big deal by anyone.

Could you give us an idea of what you advised Mr. Morris to do and what other Americans should do if they find themselves in a similar situation?

I told him, and what I would tell your readers, is that you have rights. On the back of my business cards I have an acronym that is a good one to remember any time you are confronted by the police: SAC. “S” stands for “silent”— you have 5^th Amendment protections that mean you do not have to give any kind of statement to police. Next, “A” stands for “ask”: If the police are holding you in any way or demanding a statement, ask for an attorney immediately. The “C” stands for “consent”: Simply, do not consent to anything without the permission of your attorney.

In Moore’s situation, it was pretty simple: They [police and DYFS] had no warrant, so they had no right to enter the house. One of the most precious protections in the 4^th Amendment is that of the home. Do not consent to letting police enter your home without a warrant.

There are some exceptions to this, like if police were involved in hot pursuit and a suspect entered a house. But that doesn’t apply here.

What might have happened if Mr. Moore had been less knowledgeable of his rights and had let the police in?

Well, once you let the camel’s nose in, who knows what they may try to contrive.

People often say, “Well, if you have nothing to hide.” But that’s just not how it works. We have due process in this country and it is not the obligation of the citizen to justify why the government doesn’t have the right to search his home. Rather, the government is charged with justifying why a search is necessary and obtaining the proper warrant.

One of the things they said they needed to do was to look at the guns in Moore’s safe and make sure they are properly registered; they told me this on the phone that night. Well, in New Jersey there is no gun registration requirement that would apply.

If he had let them do as they wished, it wouldn’t have surprised me for him to have had all of his guns confiscated for “safekeeping” — whatever that means — and we’d be fighting now to get them back.

Do you think the ordeal would’ve happened if the boy had been holding a gun that wasn’t of the “scary” black variety?

I can’t speculate as to whether this anonymous concerned citizen would have made the same call if the gun had a brown stock. But I do think we’ve gotten to a point where common sense is uncommon.

What is your opinion of the gun laws in New Jersey?

I think it is the most anti-gun State. If not the most, it ranks right alongside States like California that have extremely strict gun laws.

But there are no laws on the books barring people under the age of 18 from being involved in shooting sports under adult supervision?

Here’s the deal: As long as you’re under the supervision of a parent or guardian, you’re good to go shooting and hunting in New Jersey. So you’re right, there are no laws barring parents from teaching their children to be safe and responsible gun owners.

Practicing law for more than two decades, Nappen has dedicated his life to fighting for gun rights and honest sportsmen. He is the author of The New Jersey Gun Law Guide; Nappen II: New Jersey Gun, Knife, and Weapon Law; Nappen On New Jersey Gun Law; and The Declaration. He has as also penned numerous articles appearing in American Handgunner Magazine, Blue Book of Gun Values, NSSF Range Report, Tactical Gear Magazine, American Gunsmith Magazine, The New Gun Week, BLADE Magazine, Sporting Knives, Knives Annual, and Harper’s Magazine. Between writing books and magazine articles, the attorney wrote and produced the DVD “Gun Control – Out Of Control: How Gun Laws Make Honest Citizens Criminals.” Visit his website here.

 

HOW CLOSE IS TO CLOSE?

 A person can only use DEADLY FORCE to protect their life or the life of a third party from a threat of imminent danger of DEATH or SERIOUS BODILY HARM!   The attacker must possess the three elements of ABILITY, OPPORTUNITY, & JEOPARDY in order for you to claim the right of SELF DEFENSE and JUSTIFY the use of DEADLY FORCE. 

Looking at the above photo my question to you is, do the three elements exist, and would a response of DEADLY FORCE be considered to be a REASONABLE AND NECESSARY response?  

Would you be able to articulate if that were you, based on what you see in the photo, that the attacker could either kill you or cause you serious bodily injury if you did not make an aggressive attempt, USE OF DEADLY FORCE, to stop his ACTIONS RIGHT NOW?   

This is just some "FOOD FOR THOUGHT".  If you have any doubt that a person that is within 20 to 30 feet from you posessing any type of "deadly weapon" can seriously hurt you or possibly kill you then you need to examine the concept know as the Tueller Concept or "The Tueller Drill".   

Besides the obvious gun or knife what else could be considered to be a DEADLY WEAPON?  These are things that you should know and be able to recognize in order to be better prepared to protect yourself.

USMC

THIS NEEDS TO KEEP GOING. 
Leading the fight is U S Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt, known as 'Iron Mike' or just 'Gunny'. He is on his third tour in Iraq. He had become a legend in the bomb disposal world after winning the Bronze Star for disabling 64 IEDs and destroying 1,548 pieces of ordnance during his second tour. 

Then, on September 19, he got blown up. He had arrived at a chaotic scene after a bomb had killed four US Marines. He chose not to wear the bulky bomb protection suit. 'You can't react to any sniper fire and you get tunnel-vision,' he explains. So, protected by just a helmet and standard-issue flak jacket, he began what bomb disposal officers term 'the longest walk', stepping gingerly into a 5 foot deep and 8 foot wide crater. 

The earth shifted slightly and he saw a Senao base station with a wire leading from it. He cut the wire and used his 7 inch knife to probe the ground. 'I found a piece of red detonating cord between my legs,' he says. 'That's when I knew I was screwed.' Realizing he had been sucked into a trap, Sgt Burghardt, 35, yelled at everyone to stay back. At that moment, an insurgent, probably watching through binoculars, pressed a button on his mobile phone to detonate the secondary device below the sergeant's feet 'A chill went up the back of my neck and then the bomb exploded,' he recalls. 'As I was in the air I remember thinking, 'I don't believe they got me..' I was just ticked off they were able to do it. Then I was lying on the road, not able to feel anything from the waist down.' 

His fellow Marines cut off his trousers to see how badly he was hurt. None could believe his legs were still there 'My dad's a Vietnam vet who's paralyzed from the waist down,' says Sgt Burghardt. 'I was lying there thinking I didn't want to be in a wheelchair next to my dad and for him to see me like that. They started to cut away my pants and I felt a real sharp pain and blood trickling down. Then I wiggled my toes and I thought, 'Good, I'm in business.' As a stretcher was brought over, adrenaline and anger kicked in. 'I decided to walk to the helicopter. I wasn't going to let my team-mates see me being carried away on a stretcher.' He stood and gave the insurgents who had blown him up a one-fingered salute. ‘I flipped them one’. It was like, 'OK, I lost that round but I'll be back next week.' 

Copies of a photograph depicting his defiance, taken by Jeff Bundy for the Omaha World-Herald, adorn the walls of homes across America and that of Col John Gronski, the brigade commander in Ramadi, who has hailed the image as an exemplar of the warrior spirit. 
Sgt Burghardt's injuries - burns and wounds to his legs and buttocks - kept him off duty for nearly a month and could have earned him a ticket home. But, like his father - who was awarded a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts for being wounded in action in Vietnam - he stayed in Ramadi to engage in the battle against insurgents who are forever coming up with more ingenious ways of killing Americans. 

SO TRUE!
