Concealed Weapons Carrier Saves Others From Stabbings at Salt Lake City, Utah Grocery Store!

By Clash Daily / 27 July 2012

Another victory against thugs who think they can intimidate the American Public! If stories like these would be reported far and wide, we would see the already lowered crime rates take a drastic plunge in our nation.

We honor the citizen who uses his responsibility to protect his own life and the lives of others around him. Thank you!

How can anti-gun people not comprehend the simple facts…without gun toting, responsible American citizens, there might have been more than the two people who were injured if no one would have intervened before the police got there.

“By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria.”

Gun shop veto draws legal fight

County changed rules as business tried to open

The latest location where the Second Amendment Foundation has taken its fight against unconstitutional limits on gun ownership is Alameda County, Calif., which changed the rules as three businessmen were trying to open a gun shop.

The Second Amendment Foundation was integral in the landmark McDonald v. Chicago Supreme Court case which determined that the Second Amendment provisions that individuals can have and own weapons applies to states.

That ruling followed a key decision in Washington, D.C., that earlier said the Second Amendment applied to individuals, not just militias.

Since then, the organization has taken on a number of gun restrictions set up by local governments, with the California location the latest flashpoint.

There, the foundation filed a lawsuit recently against the county and its board of supervisors for allegedly violating the constitutional rights of three businessmen by wrongfully denying them permits to open a gun shop.

The foundation was joined by the Calguns Foundation, California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees and businessmen John Teixeira, Steve Nobriga and Gary Gamaza.

They are represented by attorneys Donald Kilmer of San Jose and Jason Davis of Rancho Santa Margarita.

“The facts in this case are outrageous,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “In the fall of 2010, Gamaza, Nobriga and Teixeira formed a business partnership with the intention of opening a gun store in Alameda County. When they began the process of getting permits to open their shop, they were advised of a requirement that gun stores not be located within 500 feet of any school, liquor store or residence.”

He said they carefully measured and found the location they had picked for their plans was “well beyond the 500-foot limit.”

However, “Then the county changed the measurement requirements,” he said.

The lawsuit explains the county also allowed an objection to the shop to be filed even though the deadline had passed, and even though the West County Board of Zoning Adjustments had voted to approve a conditional use permit and allow the gun store to operate.

“It is clear from the county board of supervisors’ behavior that they have gone out of their way to prevent three businessmen from opening a gun store in their jurisdiction,” Gottlieb stated. “This is a violation of their rights of equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, and cannot be allowed to stand.”

He continued, “Social bigotry is bad enough when practiced by the media and the gun prohibition lobby, but when it becomes the official policy of an elected government panel, it then becomes necessary, if not imperative, for the courts to intervene.”

The foundation also recently argued a pair of California cities and the state’s Department of Justice improperly confiscated firearms during investigations and then refused to return them to their owners – even after the subjects of the inquiries were cleared.

That case is on behalf of gun owners Douglas Churchill and Peter Lau, and alleges the cities are engaging in “deliberate theft of personal property.”

“We saw this sort of property theft following Hurricane Katrina,” Gottlieb recalled in a statement, “and we took that case to federal court and won. Government agencies simply cannot seize private property and refuse to give it back by playing bureaucratic games.”

Gene Hoffman, chairman of the Calguns Foundation, which has also joined the case, explains, “Law-abiding Californians should not be forced to seek out expensive legal representation just to get back what is rightfully theirs in the first place.”

According to court documents, Lau’s firearms were confiscated by the Oakland Police Department when authorities were investigating his brother’s suicide. Eventually, his guns were returned, all except one rifle the police deemed an “assault weapon.” Lau’s attorneys dispute the classification.

Churchill’s firearms were confiscated by the San Francisco Police Department in January 2011 as part of an investigation, but the district attorney dismissed charges less than a month later. Nonetheless, police refuse to return seven of Churchill’s weapons – including a Remington .22-caliber rifle and a Winchester 20-gauge shotgun.

“What the police departments are doing is a deliberate theft of personal property, and they know it,” added Gottlieb. “Our partners at the Calguns Foundation have properly argued that this is inexcusable, and they are right.”

Names as defendants in the case are the cities of Oakland and San Francisco and their respective police departments, California Attorney General Kamala Harris and the state’s Department of Justice. The case is currently before the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California.

Other cases the SAF has handled in recent months:

• SAF sued the state of      California over a “vague” gun ban over a case in which a man twice was      jailed and then cleared. The focal point is the definition of an “assault      weapon.” The statute’s definition of weapons is so “vague and ambiguous,”      the group contends, that one man was arrested on two different occasions      for violations but ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing. “It’s an insult      to be arrested once for violating a law that is so vague and ambiguous      that law enforcement officers cannot tell the difference between what is      and what is not a legal firearm under this statute,” said Gottlieb, “but      to be arrested and jailed twice for the same offense is an outrage.”
• In New York, the organization      has asked for a summary judgment that would strike New York City’s $340      triennial fee for just owning a handgun. The legal brief explains that      under U.S. Supreme Court rulings “the right to keep a handgun in the home      for self-defense is a part of the ‘core’ of the Second Amendment’s      protections.” The case, brought by SAF, the New York State Rifle and      Pistol Association and individuals including an electrical contractor, a      paramedic, CPA and woodworker, argues, “The city’s $340 fee is inherently      prohibitive and serves the impermissible purpose of discouraging the      exercise of constitutional rights. While the city can charge a nominal fee      to defray costs, the $340 fee is not nominal, and has never been      calculated to defray costs.”
• The organization has sued New Jersey and officials      and judges over procedures that allowed them to refuse firearms      permits for a kidnap victim, a man who carries large amounts of cash for      his business and a civilian FBI employee who fears attacks from radical      Islamists. The permissions were denied on the grounds people had not shown      a “justifiable need.” “Law-abiding New Jersey citizens have been      arbitrarily deprived of their ability to defend themselves and their      families for years under the state’s horribly crafted laws,” said an SAF      spokesman. “The law grants uncontrolled discretion to police chiefs and      other public officials to deny license applications even in cases where      the applicant has shown a clear and present danger exists.”
• The SAF filed a case on behalf      of an honorably discharged veteran from the Vietnam War and names as      defendants Attorney General Eric Holder and the Federal Bureau of      Investigation. The case was filed in U.S. District Court for the District      of Columbia on behalf of Jefferson Wayne Schrader. The question is whether      the state of Maryland can deprive an individual of the right to possess a      weapon over a misdemeanor. Schrader had been convicted of misdemeanor      assault relating to a fight involving a man who previously had assaulted      him in Annapolis. But he was denied the opportunity to receive a shotgun      as a gift or to purchase a handgun for personal protection.
• SAF filed a claim against      Maryland for a man who alleged the state was violating the Second      Amendment by refusing to renew his handgun permit. Raymond Woollard      originally was issued a carry permit after a man broke into his home      during a family event in 2002. Woollard’s permit was renewed in 2005 after      the defendant in the case was released from prison. But state officials      later refused to renew the permit, even though the intruder now lives some      three miles from Woollard.
• SAF sued Westchester County,      N.Y., because officials there were requiring that residents have a “good      cause” to ask for a handgun permit. The federal lawsuit alleges the      requirement conflicts with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the Second      Amendment establishes a personal right to “keep and bear arms.” Individual      plaintiffs in the case are Alan Kachalsky and Christina Nikolov, both      Westchester County residents whose permit applications were denied.

(NaturalNews) Within the next two years, a spooky, powerful and invisible new technology will be deployed by the U.S. government that can instantly scan and identify every molecule on your body or person: the cocaine residue on your dollar bills, prescription drugs in your purse, marijuana in your pocket and even trace powder residue from your practice session at the gun range.

And it can detect all this invisibly, silently, from a range of 50 meters away.

“New Homeland Security Laser Scanner Reads People At Molecular Level” declares a CBS News headline (http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/07/11/new-homeland-security-laser…). “The scanner is called the Picosecond Programmable Laser. The device works by blasting its target with lasers which vibrate molecules that are then read by the machine that determine what substances a person has been exposed to. This could be Semtex explosives to the bacon and egg sandwich they had for breakfast that morning.”

Government to log every chemical on your body

These laser detection devices are slated to be widely deployed across airports, roadside checkpoints, sports stadiums and anywhere else the government wants to surveil the public. Data collected by these devices can even be tagged to your identity so that the government compiles a database of which chemicals were detected on you at each location, for each day of your life.

This information, of course, can then be used by the government to target people they call “terrorists” — anyone who believes in liberty, the Constitution, the founding fathers or limited government. Once nationwide gun confiscation orders are handed down from Washington, these scanning devices can be used to detect trace levels of gunpowder on people merely strolling through a public place. If you’re carrying ammunition or have recently practiced with firearms, you’ll be flagged, tagged and dragged into the very secret military prisons expanded by President Obama under the National Defense Authorization Act which nullifies due process and the Bill of Rights. (http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html)

Into pot instead of guns? Your days of carrying some Mary Jane are over, too, as the government can detect traces of THC on your clothing, hands or facial skin from fifty meters away. It’s not limited to marijuana, either: this device can detect and catalog your use of any recreational drugs, including cocaine, heroin, ecstasy or anything.

Not into abusing drugs? Never worry: the government can instantly know what prescription drugs you’re using, too. The laser scanning device can catalog what prescription medications you’re on and tag your profile with this data. It may even be used against you in court someday — if you’re even allowed your day in court anymore.

You’ll be chemically naked at all checkpoints

As Gizmodo reports: (http://gizmodo.com/5923980/the-secret-government-laser-that-instantly…)

The technology is so incredibly effective that, in November 2011, its inventors were subcontracted by In-Q-Tel to work with the US Department of Homeland Security. In-Q-Tel is a company founded “in February 1999 by a group of private citizens at the request of the Director of the CIA and with the support of the U.S. Congress.” According to In-Q-Tel, they are the bridge between the Agency and new technology companies.

The machine is ten million times faster — and one million times more sensitive — than any currently available system. That means that it can be used systematically on everyone passing through airport security, not just suspect or randomly sampled people.

Laser scanner penetrates clothing, can even detect chemistry inside your body

If reports are to be believed, this technology can even penetrate clothing and skin, detecting chemical inside your body. On the positive side, this could be a miraculous medical diagnostic device capable of, for example, instantly detecting your level of vitamin D or magnesium. But it won’t be used that way, of course. Instead of empowering the People, this technology will be used to enslave them.

In an instant, even without your knowledge, this device will be able to determine what you ate for breakfast, whether you’re ovulating, whether you have cancer, how long ago you consumed alcohol, and even how much adrenaline is currently pumping through your veins. Everything about you will be scanned, tracked and logged by the government, then combined with your search engine logs, web surfing habits, mobile phone text records, grocery purchasing habits, credit card records and everything else they have on you to create a total police state profile of your psychology and behavior.

This information will, of course, be used against you to expand the power of the state while crushing independence and liberty. Such is the pattern of all new technology: Spy drones, robotics, nanotech, the internet and so on.

The technology can also be used to selectively arrest and prosecute almost anyone for “possession of cocaine.” How? As U.S. court cases have already proven, there is no threshold for drugs below which you cannot be arrested for possession. Thus, even carrying a trace speck of cocaine — which exists on all currency — can get you arrested and charged with possession. Since everybody has traces of cocaine on their cash (and on their hands), this technology can be used to selectively arrest and prosecute anyone the government wishes to “put away,” even for political reasons. All it takes is a single cocaine molecule on your person and you’re flagged as a criminal.

Even CBS news acknowledges the technology could be used by “Big Brother,” although they don’t explore the horrifying implications of it. Imagine the government knowing your entire biochemistry in an instant, covertly and remotely. They could theoretically even detect who avoids GMOs, fluoride and vaccines, thereby flagging “food freedom terrorists” who deliberately avoid being poisoned by the criminal corporate mafia.

The uses of this technology are endless. And so is its potential for abuse by a mafia police state government that respects no human rights, no law and nothing from the U.S. Constitution.

Does anyone out there know where this photo was taken; perhaps Arizona?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush’s administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have
been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean
Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress.

We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.
