Would you have ever dreamed that this guy ↓ sounds more presidential than Obama?

American Freedom... Professor Rotberg Wants To End It Where It All Began
 |
| Arranged by Storm'n Norm'n |
The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" was fired at Lexington Green, as the British marched to Concord, Massachusetts. The reason for the journey of Red Coats across the Massachusetts landscape was to seize the armory in Concord, to capture the largest colonial stash of ammunition and firearms. In other words, the final straw that led the Americans to revolution was when the British came to take their guns. ~ Source: Obama's Gun Control @ Political PistachioThe Following by

Rotberg pushes for ban on assault weapons in hometown of Lexington
Town Meeting member Robert
Rotberg wants to change national gun laws, so he is starting with a push to
alter Lexington's bylaws.
Rotberg is proposing an
amendment to Chapter 97 of the Code of Lexington, titled “Code of Conduct,” to
ban the ownership of semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons able to hold
ammunition clips containing more than 10 rounds. He submitted a citizen
petition for the annual Town Meeting warrant, so Town Meeting members will have
a chance to decide whether to support his proposed changes in March.
“This is Lexington taking a
stand,” Rotberg said. “I hope that with Lexington approving something like this
at Town Meeting, other towns will copy and emulate us and we can spread this
movement around the state.”
A resident needs the Town Clerk
to certify the signatures of 10 registered voters to place a citizens’ petition
on an annual Town Meeting warrant, according to state law.
Rotberg said the proposal does
not oppose the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “A well-regulated
militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to keep and
bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
“It doesn’t restrict anything
except the most murderous types of weapons,” said Rotberg, who added he has
garnered support from other residents. “They wouldn’t be able to purchase or
possess heavy-duty assault weapons in the town of Lexington.”
Rotberg said the proposal is
modeled after a 2013
ordinance passed in Highland Park, Illinois, which banned
assault weapons and large capacity weapons. On Dec. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court
decided not to hear an appeal of the case in
which a resident sued the city for instituting the ban. Jonathan Lowy, director
of the Brady Center’s Legal Action Project, responded to the decision by stating, "We are pleased
that the Supreme Court will not disturb the ruling that the Constitution allows
for common sense public safety laws, and does not entitle people to
military-style weapons of war. Like any right, the Second Amendment is
necessarily limited by the public’s right to live -- a right not to be shot.”
The Brady Campaign to End
Gun Violence is named for James Brady, press secretary for President
Ronald Reagan, who was seriously injured in the 1981 assassination attempt on
Reagan and died in 2014. It lists as its mission "to create a safer
America for all of us that will lead to a dramatic reduction in gun deaths and
injuries."
Supreme Court Justices Clarence
Thomas and Antonin Scalia dissented from the decision not to hear the case,
with Thomas writing that the court had previously
ruled, “that the Second Amendment protects a personal right to keep and bear
arms for lawful purposes, most notably for self-defense within the home,"
and that, "If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture
that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second
Amendment guarantees nothing."
Rotberg said the proposal to
change Lexington's bylaws comes as close to the Highland Park ordinance as
possible.
If passed by Town Meeting,
then the Attorney General's Office staff will review the bylaws, as it does
with all potential bylaws, to determine if they comply with the state
constitution.
Lexington gun licenses
As of Dec. 2, there were 165
people with active Firearms Identification Cards (FIDs) in Lexington. FID
cards, which are valid for six years, allow the holder to possess a non-large
capacity firearm, rifle or shotgun, according to Lexington Police Capt.
Michael McLean.
There were 717 residents with
one of the two licenses to carry (LTC), which are valid for six years, as of
the same date, McLean said. Of those, there are 697 Class A licenses, which
allow for the possession and transport of large-capacity firearms, shotguns and
rifles and semiautomatic and automatic weapons. A Class B license allows for
the possession and transport of non-large-capacity firearms.
Licenses to carry can only be
issued to people 21 and older. FID cards can be issued to residents who are 15
years old or older.
There are four residents with a
license to possess a machine gun, which by Massachusetts law can only be issued
to firearms instructors for the purpose of training police or a collector of
firearms, McLean said.
Michaela Dunne, a manager at
the Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, said
military personnel in Massachusetts do not need to have a license to carry a
firearm while on duty, so any license held by a service-member is for private
use.
Dunne would not immediately
release the number or types of weapons registered in Massachusetts.
Rotberg said he hopes pushing
for the amendment will not only limit the types of firearms in Lexington but
spread to other communities in Massachusetts.
“Now it will go before Town
Meeting in March or April, and at that point, the hope is we’ll get lots of
interest in Concord, Bedford, Acton and so on,” Rotberg said.

Obama Scared To Admit The 2nd Amendment Is Part of the Constit...
Barack Obama couldn’t bring himself to link the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. He couldn’t say it. Obama doesn’t care about the Constitution, he doesn’t give a damn about the Bill of Rights! Obama cares about his progressive agenda to control the lives of ordinary citizens. His executive action on guns was a power grab. Pure and simple. This guy is coming after your gun rights are we must oppose him and his unconstitutional governance.

Soldier Field Recon?
From our e-mail a week or so ago:
- So the NFL thinks they have security under control??? Cough, cough, bullshit, cough, cough. The attached is a picture of the guy that was caught on security cameras at Soldier Field two weeks ago filming the entire facility, including the parking garage, for 45 minutes at 5:30 on Sunday morning. In this screen shot the video and cell phone he was using is under his coat. No call was made to police by the two security goof balls that were watching him until they scared him off by riding up to him on a golf cart. Not one to ever "profile", I have to say this guy certainly doesn't look like your average Bears fan.
The reader included a picture and we certainly hope it's in the hands of the FBI and others.
