A Message from the NRA

**** Alert *** Alert *** Alert ****
Dear Fellow NRA Member,
In the next few days, you'll receive your new NRA membership card.
The moment you receive it, I urge you to validate your new membership card as soon as possible. More than ever, we need you to stand with NRA and fight to save our Second Amendment freedoms.
Because Barack Obama's campaign promisenot to take away our guns is a lie.
He's not even in office, yet he's fired the opening salvos in a war against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU.
Obama's FIRST attack on YOU: Appointing Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel earned an "F" rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration, he was known as the "point man on gun control." He is an avowed enemy of the Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.
Obama's SECOND attack on YOU: If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State, she'll rip the Second Amendment right out of the Bill of Rights. She'll be our nation's top diplomat with the power to determine whether the United Nations will pass, and Obama will sign, a global gun ban treaty that will surrender our Second Amendment rights and our national sovereignty.
Obama's THIRD attack on YOU: Nominating ex-Senator and former Majority Leader Tom Daschle-an avowed enemy of NRA-to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. NRA was responsible for defeating Daschle when he ran in South Dakota for re-election to the Senate. If Daschle is confirmed, he could hold the ultimate power to declare guns a "public health menace" and regulate away our essential liberties.
Obama's FOURTH attack on YOU: Nominating Eric Holder to be Attorney General. As former Assistant Attorney General, Holder was a key architect and vocal advocate for the Clinton era's sweeping gun ban agenda. He supported national handgun licensing, mandatory trigger locks, and ending gun shows as we know them.
Just recently, Holder opposed the District of Columbia's Heller decision that declared the Second Amendment an individual right. Holder also called for reviving the Clinton gun bans and, as Attorney General, would fight in court to prevent the landmark Heller decision from being made applicable to state and local governments.
Worst of all, if Holder is confirmed as the nation's top law-enforcement officer, he would control BATFE and wield enormous power to harass gun owners and sue America's arms makers out of existence.
Obama's FIFTH attack on YOU: In the job application for the Obama Administration, he made it clear that gun owners are second-class citizens and told 80 million gun owners not to even bother applying for a job. In the "White House Personnel Data Questionnaire" he asked:
"Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."
This chilling notice to gun owners-that they are not welcome to serve in his Administration-shows the deep hostility for Americans' Second Amendment Freedoms that Obama and his Administration have in their hearts.
On its face, that question endorses gun registration-a mandate in only five states in our nation-and buys into the anti-gun premise that firearms are inherently dangerous and gun owners are prone to misusing them.
That's an outrageous mindset, especially for the President-elect whose sworn duty will be to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including our right to keep and bear arms.
Obama CLEARLY wants to make gun registration the law of the land.
First for employees under his control...AND THEN FOR YOU.
Working with a Congress dominated by gun haters like Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Henry Waxman, and Charles Schumer!!!
Rubbing salt in gun owner wounds is the Brady Campaign, which just issued a completely bogus poll claiming that two-thirds of the Americans-including 60% of all gun owners-favor gun registration, licensing of firearm owners, and other sweeping restrictions on our firearm freedoms! Add it all up and you have the potentialfor a Second Amendment disaster that's unlikeany other NRA members have ever battled.
That's why we need the strongest possible commitment from EVERY NRA member, starting today. That's why I'm hoping you'll validate your new NRA membership card the moment you receive it.
Because our greatest strength is you.
Only by working with you can NRA hold the line against these threats from every quarter. We are the one force that has the strength to keep Americans free and our rights intact for future generations. With you at our side, we will fight and we will prevail against all odds.
Thank you for your loyalty to NRA and the cause of Freedom.

OK, I get it. If we are disarmed we are vulnerable.

But how is this kind of sensationalistic clap trap, ANY different than the daily assault from every quarter screaming, "...this cause must be your our TOP PRIORITY and you better do something NOW!!!"

And I'm not sure, but the job Hillary has been tapped for, does not give the power to sign away ANY of our rights, or that's my understanding anyway.

I hate this kind of Chicken Little, chickenshit.

The letter does sound like a bit of hysteria to me, but i can understand what their aim is. I'm not so sure Hitlary can do anything about guns in her new job, but that leaves a whole lot of anti-gun Leftists in the administration who can, and will.

We all know how the Left works. They'll find a way to over-ride (via legislation perhaps) the recent SCOTUS 2nd Amendment decision, which wasn't all that strong. Or, they can simply wait for Yomama to stack the court with Leftists who will "rearrange" some of the words in the Constitution, then revisit the issue. And that will be that!

You think so? Remember, he is surrounded by his people, many of whom are now very powerful, who could easily make this happen with his full blessing of course. He will then claim (as always) that he had nothing to do with it.

MY HOME TOWN

You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb.

Well.........

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!



Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!


Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.

The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners.

They feed and care for the strays.

Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily.

He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior.

They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal.

He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.

The best part?

His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million.

Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago.

He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him.

Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day.

Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc.

He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.



I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas.

He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand.

He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer.

It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later.

We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.

Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again.

He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it,

where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically

for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border.

He's kind of a 'Git-R-Dun' kind of Sheriff.

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO

HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF

AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona) who created the 'Tent City Jail':
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.

Took away their weights Cut off all but 'G' movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.

He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.

When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton.....If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'

He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More On The Arizona Sheriff:

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports:
About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued Pink Boxer Shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.

'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In the TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.'

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.

He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So Shut Your Mouths!'

Way To Go, Sheriff!

Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders.

Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.

Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona

"I hate this kind of Chicken Little, chickenshit."

X2. I'm with you Steve. I stopped subscribing to the NRA a while back just because I got sick of this shit.

I don't need to be scared like a six year old child in order to get the point and do something about it.

As far as the letter goes, lets see:

Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff. No power over the American people, only influence over the president and the administration's key issues. But let's see, he's an anti-gun nut advising an anti-gun nut, so why are we hand-wringing about Emanuel again?

Hillary Clinton - Again, no power over the American people. She is the nations top diplomat, and I think that her only chance at gun-grabbing would be through the UN, as stated. THere is no way... NO WAY... that the american people will stand for us passing even a smidgen of our sovereignty over to a foreign power. Even if we did, what teeth would it have? Little UN police guys running around grabbing guns?

Daschle - Human Health. Yes, he could declare guns a "public health menace." And then what? Even in a dem congress, you don't have the juice to do anything about it. And two years from now, whhen people are tired of this Liberal power trip, they'll vote in some repubs for balance in the house and senate, and this will go away quietly.

Holder - Attorney General. THis is the only one that spooks me a bit. He could do some behind the scenes work in the supreme court to ensure that Heller goes no further than DC. He could also use the BATF as a club, as stated, and so this one I agree is a big issue. However, why the scare tactic bulshit?

And to the application, there was a lot of other wierd stuff on there, too. I would like an example of a person that was denied access to working for Obama as a result of their ownership of guns. My guess is that you won't find any.

As far as holding the line against these threats, people need to quit relying on the NRA to do for them, and do it themselves.

Write your congressman. Force them to speak up in your defense. The NRA is just spending your money on scare tactic publications.

If you people weren't so sheltered and filled with fear you wouldn't feel the need to be armed all the time.

Am I fearful? Yes, to a certain degree. Due to being the victim of a violent crime about 30 years ago, the details of which I shall not reveal, I have spent thousands of hours of the intervening time becoming extremely proficient at the gentle art of unarmed self defense. Let us face facts, however. I am 64 years old, not as fast, as strong or as quick as I once was. I also live in a very violent town in which most of the violent crimes except murder are not published in the paper. It's bad for business, you see. There were 1,017 reported instances of murder, forcible rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault in Las Vegas in 2007.

Examples of why I am frightened...

In the last 1-1/2 years:

1. A man returning from work at Midnight died in a shotgun attack at a stop sign by two guys who had been drinking brandy all day. Their reason for the murder? They wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.

2. A woman with her three children in the car with her was shot dead at a red light for no apparent reason by a guy who pulled up beside her and fired a .380 pistol out his front passenger window at her. The shooter had his two-year old son and his girlfriend in the back seat of the car. His reason? ,"I was drunk."

3. And, on a personal note, Jack and I were leaving a restaurant after dinner when a drunken idiot accosted him for "looking like a fag," and swung an objest at him. [He had on a pale pink Izod shirt]. In the dark I thought the object was a knife. It was a kubotan. Neither of us were armed. I will not go into the gory details of the incident, but suffice it to say that the drunken fool who had the bad judgement to attack my husband will never, ever make that mistake again.

Thos are the reasons we choose to have a legal concealed firearms permit. Could I shoot someone who was attacking me? I honestly don't know. I will never draw a gun on someone who is unarmed; nor will I ever strike someone over mere words and insults. Lay hands on me or mine and all bets are off.

"If you people weren't so sheltered and filled with fear you wouldn't feel the need to be armed all the time."

HLF, I cannot help but point out that it is possibly you folks who do not feel that need that are the sheltered ones.

I truly believe that my being armed saved my wife and my life one night. I know you are disappointed that I survived, but I am not.

Crime and criminals are everywhere. No one is immune. That you have not been affected or victimized yet is because of luck, not out of the lack of criminal activity available to victimize you.

And no, I am not afraid, and no, I don't need a night-lite, because I sleep very well at night knowing that no matter what happens, I am fully capable of taking care of it, because the tools to do so are readily available to me.

I again worked at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show at Cashman Center in Sin City last weekend for my Sensei who teaches a combined Aikido ["the Way of harmonious spirit" what a laugh! It's for kickin' someone's a**] and defensive handgun class. People are panicked about what Senator Obama is going to do the the Second Amendment. This attitude of fear is being fed by the firearms and ammunition vendors, for after all, it's great for business. Ammunition prices are about double what they were in October, before the election.

When people stopped by our booth to ask about CCW classes and asked about what I thought would happen when our new president takes office, I said, "Nothing, because he's going to have more than he can say grace over with two wars and the worst economy since the great depression." Maybe I'm naive, but I just cannot imagine that a firearms ban would even be on his radar.
