It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Trump or Clinton, stricter gun control is inevitable


CNN)It's impossible to run for President without having a firm position on gun control. For every candidate in every election campaign, it inevitably becomes a dividing line.

And 2016 is no different. At various stages, Donald Trump has held differing positions on the matter, but has been sufficiently in favor of protecting the second amendment to secure the support of the NRA. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, while claiming to respect the second amendment, has made clear that she wants to see tighter control on gun ownership that "tries to save some of these 33,000 lives that we lose every year."

But no matter whether it's Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton who captures the White House next week, America's frightening rate of death by gunshot wounds will certainly be forced into retreat. One day.

Because it is inconceivable that the people of such an advanced nation will tolerate an ever-worsening state of armed violence and insurrection, there must come a time when solutions already tested and championed by the United States are deployed to reduce the country's toll of 33,000 firearm-related deaths each year.

In hindsight, how naïve were we to imagine that the massacre at Columbine High might prove to be the tipping point? Thirteen years and 421,000 American gun deaths later, even the slaughter of 26 mainly white children and teachers at Sandy Hook couldn't induce the US Congress to act. Clearly, the country's gun death toll must get worse before it gets better.

But take heart, America already has the solutions.

Since 1934, US federal law has mandated licensing and registration for machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and rifles. It works. Such firearms quickly became, and remain the guns least used in crime. Today, the few states that similarly regulate much more common handguns point to similar effects, even when undermined by their gun-lax neighbors.

On its roads, America dramatically reversed the soaring toll of death and injury by automobile with a holistic array of evidence-based public health measures. The world followed suit. Licensing and registration did not lead to mass confiscation, and cars remain objects of maleness, power and freedom.

Congress Mulls Overturning Obama’s Social Security ‘Back-Door Gun Grab’

Congressional lawmakers will review a final rule issued by President Obama in December that stomps on the Second Amendment rights of Social Security beneficiaries.

According to the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, Obama’s Social Security rule qualifies SSI and disability insurance recipients as “mental defectives,” and therefore incapable of legally owning firearms.

The rule allows those affected to file a petition for “restoration” of their Second Amendment rights, yet tens of thousands of legal gun owners must now prove “their possession of firearms would not harm public safety or the public interest, even though the government never established, or tried to establish, the contrary,” NRA-ILA added.

NRA-IRA executive director Chris Cox praised Congress’ decision in a Wednesday statement.

“Congress’s decision to review the Obama administration’s back-door gun grab is a significant step forward in restoring the fundamental constitutional rights of many law-abiding gun owners,” he wrote. “The NRA has been fighting this unconstitutional government overreach since it was first discussed and we look forward to swift congressional action to overturn it.”

“We are pleased that Congress is moving swiftly to ensure that law-abiding Americans’ constitutional rights are respected,” he continued. “We would like to thank Reps. Sam Johnson and Ralph Abraham for leading this effort in the House, as well as with Speaker Paul Ryan for his leadership on this issue.”

3 teenagers, 1 infant shot at Alabama church's Easter carnival

Three teenagers and one infant were shot Saturday night at an Alabama church's Easter carnival, officials said.

The victims' injuries are not life-threatening.

 Center Point Fire Chief says 800 people were at church carnival at time of shooting, another 100 in line to get in @abc3340 pic.twitter.com/BAu9ewrJVl

 — MelanieYuill (@melanieyuill) April 16, 2017

Center Point Fire Chief Donnie West told reporters that first responders headed to Cathedral of the Cross in Center Point -- part of the Birmingham metropolitan area -- around 9:23 p.m in response to a possible shooting.

"Once we arrived, we found four victims," West said. "One was a small child less than one year of age. Three others were teenagers."

The teenagers were transported to UAB Hospital's trauma center, and the baby was taken to The Children's Hospital of Alabama, both in Birmingham.

It is unclear what prompted the shooting.

ABC affiliate WBMA reported that 900 people -- including 100 who were waiting in line -- were at the carnival at the time of the incident.

 — MelanieYuill (@melanieyuill) April 16, 2017

According to WBMA, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has taken five people into custody for questioning.

West said of those in custody, "they are just individuals of interest that [police] are talking to."

The investigation is ongoing, and will be led by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Breaking: 6 Dead and 49 Wounded!!!

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=81213
5/31/17
Another tragic weekend in Chicago has passed and the body count continued to grow with no solution and no real care from the mainstream media.


Allenbwest.com reported: Yes, it was another “holiday” weekend in Chicago. Over the long Memorial Day weekend, six more souls will now have memorials added for them – though their battlefield was sadly close to home.

Between 6pm Friday and 3am Tuesday, 49 people were shot and wound plus six shot and killed. Tragically, this is an “improvement” over last year when 71 were shot and seven were killed.
Breitbart reports, On April 24, 2017, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) suggested the violence in gun-controlled Chicago proves the need for more gun control. He specifically pushed for more regulations on Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders.

Well, of course he would, but as we’ve reported here, that’s not going to help a damn thing.

During the Obama years, concealed carry permit holders soared, but the murder rate dropped by 14 percent. To date, Chicago has had 233 homicides, compared to 261 last year, a drop of 11 percent, but that’s mainly because last May was so high.
In any event Mayor Emanuel, more gun control is clearly not the answer. Legal permit holders are not the cause of crime, as they’re far less likely to commit a firearm violation than even police officers. And to date in Chicago, officers have been involved in only 5 of the 233 fatal shootings, just two percent of the total.

Supreme Court declines to take up two Second Amendment cases

Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up two Second Amendment cases for next term.
The first case dealt with a San Diego ordinance that required San Diego gun owners to have a good reason to carry a concealed firearm outside the home.
The second case concerned two men from Pennsylvania who challenged the scope of a federal law that bans felons and some individuals charged with misdemeanors from possessing firearms.

Since issuing two landmark Second Amendment decisions in 2008 and 2010, the court has largely declined to take up more cases about the scope of the constitutional protection under the Second Amendment.

Gun rights advocates will be disappointed that the court once again declined to review lower court decisions that upheld local and state laws limiting the rights of gun owners.

At Least Two People Shot Dead During Baltimore ‘Ceasefire Weekend’ Proves Gun Bans Don’t Work
The #BaltimoreCeasefire weekend was spearheaded by Erricka Bridgeford, who took to Facebook following the killings to assure everyone that the ceasefire was not over. Baltimore is experiencing death and violence at record levels, and it all comes just four years after adoption of stringent gun controls via the Firearm Safety Act (2013). That Act banned “high capacity” magazines, “assault weapons,” and established a registration/fingerprint requirement for would-be handgun purchasers. These were all pushed in the name of making people safer, yet the two deadliest years in Baltimore’s history were 2015 and 2016.

8/7/17

At least two people were shot dead Friday, August 4, through Sunday, August 6, a 72-hour period designated the “Nobody Kill Anybody” weekend by #BaltimoreCeasefire.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Have you ever noticed that cities run by liberals that impose highly-restrictive gun bans are also those cities where gun violence is rampant? Why is that? Because gun bans and gun registration only impacts law-abiding citizens. Criminals do not “register their weapons” and apply for permits. Banning guns completely because people shoot other people is like banning free speech because people insult and threaten other people. The amendments are not the reason for the criminal activity. The only thing that happens when you can guns is that law-abiding citizens are now defenseless. The #1 killer of anyone, anywhere in America, is death by automobile. So how come no Liberals call for banning cars? Hmm…

On July 12, Breitbart News reported that city residents were being urged to take the #BaltimorePeaceChallenge, pledging to go three days without shooting at each other. But according to Fox News, at least three people had been shot before the weekend ended, and two of those victims died from their wounds. Both shooting deaths occurred on Saturday.

The #BaltimoreCeasefire weekend was spearheaded by Erricka Bridgeford, who took to Facebook following the killings to assure everyone that the ceasefire was not over, that “Nobody Kill Anybody” weekend would continue through Sunday.

Bridgeford wrote:

The #BaltimoreCeasefire has NOT ended.

If you are going to run around here acting defeated, A. Part of me wants to give you this nub to your eye, and then, to hug you, and B. You are not ready for this revolution. It’s fine. But please sit down & quiet yourself. Stop panicking out loud. Find a corner & watch us keep GETTING THIS WORK. Be in awe of how nothing stops us from healing our city. Just please know that you and your misguided, “It ain’t work” perception do NOT…. I REPEAT… DO NOT get to speak for this movement. I am turning off your mic right … now.
“If you want to talk about how we come from slaves who ran away, got killed… yet MORE slaves kept rising up…. YOU are a voice of this movement,” she continued. “If you understand that the 2 lives we lost to violence inspire us to #VibrateEvenHigher… YOU are a voice of this movement.”

She went on to describe the “perceptions that have been shifted” and “the immeasurable hope that young people have been given” via #BaltimoreCeasefire.

Baltimore is experiencing death and violence at record levels, and it all comes just four years after adoption of stringent gun controls via the Firearm Safety Act (2013). That Act banned “high capacity” magazines, “assault weapons,” and established a registration/fingerprint requirement for would-be handgun purchasers.

BREAKING: It’s A Unanimous Vote!!!

California Legislature has passed a law to end rifle use in the rural areas of the state. The bill now awaits a signature by Jerry Brown!!

Visaliatimesdelta.com reported: California is one step away from outlawing guns in the rural parts of the state — a big deal for Tulare County.

Most people in Tulare County, though, hope the proposed law goes by the wayside.

GOP Rep. Bill Flores Supports Gun Control via Bump Stock Ban

Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) is taking a stand for gun control by calling for a ban on bump stocks following Stephen Paddock’s use of the devices in the Las Vegas attack.

Although Paddock used the devices criminally, Flores says “typical gun owners” do not need them either.

According to the Hill, Flores said he did not know what a bump stock was until news of the Vegas attack informed him. After the attack he said, “I think they should be banned.” He said he does not know a reason why people need “to own anything that converts a semi-automatic to something that behaves like an automatic.” He added, “There’s no reason for it.”

New York Times Calls for REPEAL of 2nd Amendment
Breaking News By Amy Moreno October 7, 2017

Liberals continue to lose their mind over gun control and the 2nd Amendment.

They have no problem with 50 blacks being slaughtered every weekend in Chicago, but as soon as a “mass shooting” happens, they want the 2nd Amendment repealed.

A so-called “conservative” writer at the New York Times (ha ha ha) is calling for the repeal.

Keep dreaming, bozos.

Conservative New York Times columnist Bret Stephens called for a repeal of the Second Amendment in a Thursday op-ed, arguing that while gun ownership shouldn’t be outlawed, “it doesn’t need a blanket Constitutional protection, either.”

Stephens’s op-ed comes in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, when a gunman opened fire on an outdoor concert in Las Vegas on Sunday, killing at least 58 people.

“I have never understood the conservative fetish for the Second Amendment,” Stephens, who is also an MSNBC contributor, writes.

Illinois State Assembly approves gun confiscation bill

The state legislature of Illinois has approved a bill, HB 1465, which:

    Requires 18 to 20-year-olds to hand over or transfer ownership of heretofore legally possessed “assault weapons” — which the NRA-ILA describes as commonly-owned “semi-automatic firearms” — as well as any magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.
    Bans the sale of certain types of semi-automatic weapons to individuals under age 21.
    Makes owning such a weapon by persons under age 21 a Class 3 felony for a first offense and a Class 2 felony for a second offense.

The government forcing people to forfeit or hand over weapons previously deemed legal is confiscation.

On February 28, 2018, the bill was passed by a vote of 64-51 in the State House of Representatives. On March 14, 2018, the Illinois State Senate passed the bill by a vote of 33-22. Both the House and Senate are controlled by a Democrat majority.

HB 1465 was introduced in Illinois’ House by Rep. Michelle Mussman (D). The bill’s 23 co-sponsors are all Democrats: 16 females, 7 males.

HB 1465 was introduced in Illinois’ Senate by Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago). There were 7 co-sponsors, among whom was Republican Sen. Jim Oberweis, whom the NRA had given an “A” rating in 2014.

The bill deviates from the traditional military definition of assault rifle, requiring the weapon to be capable of selective fire options like three round bursts and fully-automatic, and instead defines it as any semi-automatic rifle or pistol with a belt or magazine fed system capable of more than 10 rounds or featuring a folding stock or the ability to accept tactical attachments such as scopes. The definition also includes some .50 caliber rifles.

Critics of the gun confiscation bill were taken aback by “the idea that the government would confiscate property.” The bill’s House sponsor, Rep. Michelle Mussman, responded to these concerns by assuring them “authorities will not visit homes to pick up weapons.” Rather, “a first offense for getting caught with prohibited firearms would be a misdemeanor offense.”

After the state Senate passed the bill, HB 1465 must go back to the House for reconciliation because the Senate added an amendment, meant to attract Republican support for the bill, which would allow individuals who owned such weapons prior to the passage of the law to use that fact as an affirmative defense when facing felony charges under the legislation.

But Sen. Chapin Rose (R) told Watchdog.org that the amendment would not necessarily protect owners of the weapons from facing felony charges if they do not surrender them. He believes the bill should have exempted current owners of the weapons from facing charges, rather than just offering them an affirmative defense while under arrest.

If Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signs the bill, HB 1465 will become law. Residents under the age of 21 will have 90 days to turn over the guns and magazines.

Rauner recently vetoed a bill that would have required gun retailers to be licensed by the state, claiming that to be “unnecessary, burdensome regulation.” Gubernatorial vetoes can be overturned by a three-fifths majority vote in both houses of the Illinois General Assembly.

Illinois also recently passed other gun control bills in addition to the gun confiscation HB 1465:

    The Illinois State Senate passed HB 1467, which bans bump stocks and trigger cranks, and added an amendment to that bill allowing localities to ban what it defines as assault weapons, potentially creating different gun laws on a town-by-town basis in Illinois.
    The Illinois House of Representatives passed HB 1468, which would impose a 72-hour waiting period on purchases of items defined as assault weapons. The Senate has yet to vote on the measure.
