Capitulation

I hope the few of you who read this blog have been paying attention and sharing the information you find valuable with family and friends. Our federal gov't has taken over the free market and our financial futures. Now they are following in the footsteps of Europe in capitulating to the radical Muslims who already infest our cities and towns spewing their hatred and guile. (If you haven't paid attention to the pro-Hamas rallies across the country, you should take a minute to look into it. Search some of my older posts and look at Atlas Shrugs)

From Wizbangblog.com
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

President Obama's decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by "the urgent refugee and migration needs" of the "victims."

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Let's review some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks ago:

* His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

* His first one on one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.

* He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.

* He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

* He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11.

* Today we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.

Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

A new gun law is being rushed through Congress. I don't know how the fed's would expect to follow up with this law if it is to pass as there are so many gun owners in our country, but the thing that scares me in it more than anything is the right given to the gov't to search your home WITHOUT A WARRANT!!!

Here is a summary of the bill:
1/6/2009–Introduced. Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 - Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to prohibit a person from possessing a firearm unless that person has been issued a firearm license under this Act or a state system certified under this Act and such license has not been invalidated or revoked. Prescribes license application, issuance, and renewal requirements.

Prohibits transferring or receiving a qualifying firearm unless the recipient presents a valid firearms license, the license is verified, and the dealer records a tracking authorization number. Prescribes firearms transfer reporting and record keeping requirements. Directs the Attorney General to establish and maintain a federal record of sale system.

Prohibits: (1) transferring a firearm to any person other than a licensee, unless the transfer is processed through a licensed dealer in accordance with national instant criminal background check system requirements, with exceptions; (2) licensed manufacturer or dealer from failing to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements of this Act;
(3) failing to report the loss or theft of the firearm to the Attorney General within 72 hours; (4) failing to report to the Attorney General an address change within 60 days; (5)
keeping a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for the firearm, knowingly or recklessly disregarding the risk that a child is capable of gaining access, if a child uses the firearm and causes death or serious bodily injury.

Prescribes criminal penalties for violations of firearms provisions covered by this Act. Directs the Attorney General to: (1) establish and maintain a firearm injury information clearinghouse; (2) conduct continuing studies and investigations of firearm-related deaths and injuries; and (3) collect and maintain current production and sales figures of each licensed manufacturer. Authorizes the Attorney General to certify state firearm licensing or record of sale systems.

I'm not sure what country I'm living in anymore, but it sure isn't the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that I thought I knew.

you live in an Obamanation. Or a wacked out state of mind. I'm leaning towards the latter.

without having read all the details the licensing thing seems to make sense. never understood why people have to have al icense to drive a car, but for some reason think they shouldn't need a license for a gun. And you need to remeber any bills that pass still have to make it through a judicial review, so don't get your knickers all in a twist. would think a history major would know this kind of stuff....i guess you just see gadianton all over everything these days.
