| Military Elites: Screw Your Rights! |
| 2019-02-25 |
| [VictoryGirlsBlog] Thirteen former military commanders and other "elites" have signed a letter to the House of Representatives demanding "universal background checks" for all gun sales in the United States. The baker’s dozen of constitutionally illiterate military advisers and former "combat leaders" are putting their weight behind HR 8 ‐ a bill that violates your right to dispose of your own property as you see fit, as well as makes tools of self-defense much more inaccessible to We the People. "A prohibited person with dangerous intent can easily buy a gun over the internet or in a parking lot with no questions asked," the military advisers wrote to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer."For those of us with extensive firearms training, who have seen the damage inflicted by a powerful weapon in the wrong hands, this is simply unfathomable," they wrote. "For those of us with extensive firearms training..." Ya know, I remember pretty vividly an MRX in Hohenfels, Germany, during which I had to show a rather chunky Air Force Colonel how to lock his bolt to the rear on his rifle, so forgive me if I’m not impressed by the claims of people like Wesley Clark and Mark Hertling who signed on to a letter generated by Gabrielle Giffords’ gun control organization, urging legislators to relieve you of your rights. "Each of us has, at some point in our lives, made the choice to risk our lives for our fellow citizens and place ourselves in harm’s way. We were trained, we were coached, and we were prepared for the dangers that we chose to face," says the "Veterans’ Coalition" to Shred the Constitution ‐ retired senior officers who flog their credibility as people who risk their lives to defend our nation, but who seem to have forgotten that they also took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic ‐ the same Constitution that says the people’s right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Translation: Don’t you know who I am? Look at my uniform! Continues..with names and comments. |

| #14 People are shot by criminals in every totalitarian society on the planet. The difference is that in a totalitarian society, the criminals are the government. |

| #10 While I hate to recycle assessments, Wesley Clark was and remains a leg humping stooge. An utter stonad of the 1st magnitude who can claim the singular honor of having been the highest ranking officer to be relieved of command since the Civil War. Oh, and that was for 'questions of personal integrity' or more colloquially LYING. |

| #9 People are shot by criminals in every totalitarian society on the planet. Making our society totalitarian will not bring that nobody ever gets shot by a criminal goodness. And I'm f*cking sick and tired of hearing that curtailment of my law-abiding citizen rights will solve a problem I'm not causing. |

| #8 Never served in the military, so I have nothing to say about whether these mokes violated their oaths or not, however, I do reserve the right to lump them with the other socialists pigF***ers like Schumer & Pelosi. You get the same respect and just deserts as they do. |

| #5 You all just violated your oath of service. At this point the rest of the military and vets consider you traitors. |
