Second Amendment News Roundup for 2/26/09

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Codrea's War on Guns has more on the Obama plan to institute the 'assault' weapons ban and other gun control measures. 'And So It Begins.'

Codrea's Gun Rights Examiner column offers more info on this ominous news.

Armed and Safe posts a message concerning the Obama gun ban--'the gloves come off.'

Hofmann's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner: 'The Idiocy of Smart Guns.'

The Wandering Minstrel looks backward to Bill Clinton in order to provide perspective on the current anti-gun mentality of the Obama administration.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost says it's time to arm up as fast as we can!

Mike McCarville reports on the Congressional Gun Rights group to be headed by U.S. Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma.

Sebastian doesn't think Obama has the votes in Congress to pass a new assault weapons ban, and he details his reasoning along with a prediction of how members of Congress would vote on the issue.

Michelle Malkin gives us an update on Tea Party U.S.A., the growing taxpayer protest movement against Barack Obama.

Say Uncle doesn't think GOP Governor Bobby Jindal has a chance on the national stage because of some of his views, such as abortion. If that's the case, the country is in much worse shape than I imagined.

Speaking of Gov. Jindal, most of those 'responses to the President's address' things on TV are not that good. It may be due to the type of venue. But as The Rustmeister reports, Bobby usually hits it out of the ballpark in live speeches before audiences. He provides a video as an example.

Nicki has a MUST-read today on gun control. Don't pass this one up!

Ride Fast and Shoot Straight makes an excellent point in 'The Gun Way.'

JR reports that the growing 'states rights' movement has come to the Texas legislature.

Free in Idaho points to a 22-year-old who was smart enough to figure out for himself the real meaning of 'unalienable rights.' Read it all.

John Jacob H posts the scoop on an organization that may be yet another gun-rights 'Trojan Horse.'

Breda blogs on the upcoming Chicago Tea Party on Friday, as part of the national taxpayer revolt against Obama called, 'Tea Party U.S.A.'

Dr. John Lott reports that even the Democrat-controlled Congressional Budget Office admits that huge government deficits will continue for a decade under the Obama plan. True. Obama admitted it Tuesday night. His stimulus bill doubled the deficit, and he promised to cut it in half, which will bring the deficit right back to where it was prior to the stimulus bill.

Walls of the City has the quote of the day. Good commentary follows.

Days of our Trailers points to reason vs. emotion when it comes to guns in church.

Notoriously Conservative provides excellent reading entitled, 'Indoctrinating our Kids with Global Warming Nonsense.'

And for the 'rolling-in-the-floor-laughing-hysterically' moment of the day, be sure to take a look at THIS over at Western Rifle Shooters Association. Be sure to 'insert your own caption.'
It seems to me that 'insert' may be the key word here.

Alphecca confirms our warnings about Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. When it came right down to an important gun rights issue, she turned against us. Not surprising.

FEDS GRANT EMINENT DOMAIN AS COLLATERAL TO CHINA FOR U.S. DEBTS!

Beijing, China -- Sources at the United States Embassy in Beijing China have just CONFIRMED to me that the United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the People's Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for China's continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves!

The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China.

This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take -- inside the USA -- land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities - to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government.

Put simply, the feds have now actually mortgaged the physical land and property of all citizens and businesses in the United States. They have given to a foreign power, their Constitutional power to "take" all of our property, as actual collateral for continued Chinese funding of US deficit spending and the continued carrying of US national debt.

This is an unimaginable betrayal of every man, woman and child in the USA. An outrage worthy of violent overthrow.

I am endeavoring to obtain images or copies of the actual document but in the interim, several different sources both in the US and in China have CONFIRMED this to me.

More details as they become available. . . . . spread the word ASAP.

-------------- UPDATE 1:40 pm EST

Eminent Domain is the power of government to TAKE private property for public use without the consent of the property owner. Under our Constitution, the government can only "take" when providing "just compensation" for what they've taken.

Who decides what constitutes "just compensation?" The government!

Homeowners who felt the government was not paying them enough for property in past "takings" have filed lawsuits. In absolutely every such case, the value placed upon the property by the government was upheld by the courts.

Our federal government has now granted to China, this power to "take"our homes and businesses in the event the US Gov't defaults on its debts. Let's play this out as a worst case scenario. . . . . .

The US Gov't goes belly-up and China comes in and says, "they owed us $2 Trillion in Treasury Notes and another $2 Trillion in actual cash money which is now worthless. We are taking the entire state of Hawaii and the entire state of California in lieu of this bad debt. "

With the stroke of a Chinese chop stick, Hawaii and California -- all the land and buildings in those states -- are now owned by China.

The "taking" would be a "valid public use" because it was "taken" in payment of the public debt!!!!

China could then turn around and declare the value of all that land to be worth. . . . . I dunno, ten cents on a dollar?

For your $200,000 house, you get a Chinese check for $20,000.

Needless to say, the property owners would go ballistic and demand "just compensation" for what was taken. Who gets to decide what is "just?" China! Don't think you got a fair price for what they took? No problem, sue China.

You'll lose.

People who live in those states and own their land outright, might be able to negotiate with China to "rent" back their own property, as long as the property owner continued to pay all his taxes; but the land and buildings would belong to China!

This is what our own Government has just done to us and it is the single most vile act of betrayal in the history of human existence.

------------- SECOND UPDATE 3:48 PM

In early February nine U.S. States began the process of re-asserting their Sovereignty pursuant to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the US Constitution; declaring null and void any actions by Congress that violated the Constitution.

At the time, I wrote about those state efforts (Here) and wondered why so many states were taking-up such an arcane issue in such a seemingly urgent fashion. I guess now, we know why.

The states were obviously privy to what the feds were planning to do with granting Eminent Domain to China. The states took action to make certain the feds couldn't give away cities or the states themselves!

This situation is going to get VERY ugly, VERY fast as one sovereign power (the feds) try to literally give away the land of other sovereign powers, (the states). This is the type of thing that starts Civil War.

Our present federal government makes the treachery and betrayal of Benedict Arnold look like child's play.
