I AM THE FACE OF THE AMERICAN GUN OWNER
Picked this up off of Facebook. This could not be made any clearer or truthful!
Worth a read, a like
and a share!!!! Thanks Marsha.
I am the face of the American gun owner. I am not a monster. I do not want to shoot anyone. Even if you break into my home and threaten my family I do not want to shoot you. I will because you have forced me to, but it is not something I will relish.
Those who have never thought about this don't realize that when you are forced to do this, you lose a bit of yourself also. Which do you think is more traumatic? Being a bad guy and aggressor, preying on others and eventually getting shot, or being an ordinary person, going about your average life, and suddenly being thrust into a situation where to preserve that ordinary life you are forced to take another.
Owning a gun and knowing how to use it is a great responsibility that comes with many rules of safety. Being a thug has no rules. To shoot another person requires you to go against the rules of safety you have been taught, and that in and of itself adds to the trauma of defending yourself. Please remember that although we as gun owners sometimes speak cavalierly about our guns, we do understand the full weight and responsibility of that ownership.
The average gun owner is a parent. When we speak about gun education for children, we do not mean the safe handling of guns. Quite the opposite. We think all children should be taught STOP, Don't touch, Leave the area, and Tell an adult. This should be taught in all schools, everywhere, to all children. You never know when the thug will run from police, cut through the park and throw his gun on the playground. Your child could be the one to find it. Have you taught them what to do? Just because you don't own one doesn't mean they'll never find one.
The average gun owner is also a patriot. We love our country. We work hard and understand our parents and grandparents did also. We respect the constitution and the rights it affords. Even the right to make us all out as unintelligent beer drinking neanderthals. And we want those rights, ALL of them, protected for the future.
It is easy for some to vilify us as a group, but we are individuals. We have faces, we are your friends, your family, your neighbors. We are also gun owners.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
THE LIBERALS DON'T FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PART OF THE PROBLEMS WE ARE FACED WITH TODAY!
YEAH RIGHT!!!!!
INFORMATION N.J. Residents
DO YOU FEEL THAT ANY OF THESE B.S. WILL MAKE YOU SAFER?
Earlier today, in an abbreviated legislative
session because of the Joint Session of the Legislature for Governor Christie’s State of the State Address, liberal New Jersey Democrats managed to
introduce 18 new Gun Control bills in an effort to further deprive you of your
2nd Amendment right.
NJ LIBERALS INTRODUCE 18 GUN CONTROL
BILLS TODAY
Earlier today, in an abbreviated legislative
session because of the Joint Session of the Legislature for Governor Christie’s State of the State Address, liberal New Jersey Democrats managed to
introduce 18 new Gun Control bills in an effort to further deprive you of your
2nd Amendment right.
While the exact language of some of the bills will not be
available until tomorrow at the earliest, the remainder will be available next
week; the titles of them are scary enough.
All of them appear to be a massive expansion of Government
intrusion into the private lives of law abiding New Jersey citizens and their
families if you wish to exercise your 2nd Amendment right. Until the
specific language of the bills becomes available, presumably starting tomorrow,
it is difficult to determine if any part of any of these bills will curb
violence, much less gun violence; or even curtail criminal activity at all.
The 18 new bills and their titles are listed below.
You can follow Rob Eichmann on Twitter:
A-3645/S-2476 Requires ammunition sales
and transfers be conducted as face-to-face transactions.
A-3646/S-2474 Establishes a regulatory
system to govern the sale and transfer of ammunition.
A-3653 Criminalizes purchasing or owning
weapon if person has previous conviction of unlawful possession of weapon.
A-3659 Revises definition of destructive
device to include certain weapons of 50 caliber or greater.
A-3664 Reduces lawful maximum capacity of
certain ammunition magazines in New Jersey.
A-3666/S-2465 Prohibits mail order, Internet,
telephone, and any other anonymous method of ammunition sale or transfer in New
Jersey.
A-3667 Requires mental health screening by
licensed professional to purchase a firearm.
A-3668/S-2467 Prohibits investment by State of
pension and annuity funds in companies manufacturing, importing, and selling
assault firearms for civilian use.
A-3676 Requires psychological evaluation and
in-home inspection as prerequisite to purchase firearm.
A-3687 Disqualifies person named on federal
Terrorist Watchlist from obtaining firearms identification card or permit to
purchase handgun.
A-3688 Requires mental health evaluation and
list of household members with mental illness to purchase firearm.
A-3689 Requires security guards who carry
weapons to wear certain uniform, including identification card.
A-3690/S-2430 Declares violence a public
health crisis, recommends expansion of mental health programs, recommends
federal adoption of gun control measures, and establishes “Study Commission on
Violence.”
AJR-89 Urges President and US Senate to ratify
Arms Trade Treaty proposed by United Nations.
AR-133 Expresses support for creation of task
force on gun control led by Vice President Biden.
S-2464 Regulates sale and transfer of rifle
and shotgun ammunition.
S-2475 Reduces maximum capacity of ammunition
magazines to 10 rounds.
SR-92 Urges Congress to strengthen gun control laws.

GOOD READ
Please share this information on your FaceBook
page in the hope that other folks in the “I support the 2nd Amendment, but
don’t want people to have AR15 rifles” crowd get a better real understanding of
the issues at stake.
If we don’t get these folks involved and on our side, the 2nd Amendment will eventually be completely eroded. There is so much misinformation put out there by the gun-grabbers and then repeated by the media. Let's take a moment to clear up some of that misinformation.
1) Civilian AR-15 rifles are NOT the same automatic weapons the Military has. The military has fully automatic weapons. Civilian AR-15s in production today do NOT. They shoot one shot per trigger pull, just like a semi auto hunting rifle. I know often the when the media makes commentary they show B-roll video in the background of a machine gun shooting and spraying, but that is not how civilian AR-15 rifles operate.
2) Civilian AR-15 rifles (or similar) has the same type of internals as your semi auto deer rifle. Civilian type "assault" rifles function the exact same way as deer hunting rifles. They just look different.
3) Even the term “assault” rifle is gun grabber sensationalism parroted by the media. “Assault” weapons are fully automatic (select fire), and they have been heavily regulated since the 1930s, and civilian manufacturer has been completely outlawed almost 30 years ago!!
4) ”AK-47s” have already been banned from manufacture from civilians, also almost 30 years ago. Again the civilian look-a-like rifles have the same type of semi auto internals as your hunting rifle. Different cosmetics, same type of mechanics.
5) An AR15 (or similar) is NOT a “high powered rifle”. I guess it depends on what you want to categorize as “high power”, but these rifles shoot some of the smallest rifle cartridges in the market. Deer rifles are a LOT more powerful than any of these rifles. And soon the gun-grabbing crowd will recategorize your deer rifle as a “high powered sniper rifle”. That is how this political movement works.
6) A hunting shotgun is a LOT more lethal in these close quarter mass killings of unarmed innocent people than any semi auto rifle. Anyone with extensive firearms training and experience will confirm that.
The politicians know these new laws will NOT stop these types of mass killings. They even admit it! But they want to pass them anyway because it serves their greater mission of effectively neutering the second amendment. The leaders in this movement actually DON’T WANT these laws to work (even if they would) because when they are shown ineffective, they now have the political momentum to pass more ineffective laws, and grab more guns.
This is all part of a broader gun grab, done slowly, in increments, over time, until the Second Amendment is just a bunch of meaningless outdated words on an old piece of parchment.
When a sociopath chooses that shotgun or hunting rifle in the next horrific event, you are the legislature’s next target.
The philosophy of “We need to pass more laws to stop sociopathic criminals from breaking our laws” is effective because most Americans are not really paying attention to these details. (Please read that line twice) Please help to educate the public with this information.
Also it should be noted, the 2nd Amendment has NOTHING to do with hunting, fishing, competitive shooting, “sporting purposes”, racquet ball, swimming, camping, etc. The 2nd Amendment (and the entire Bill of Rights) is to preserve a balance of power between the citizens and their government.
