Gun Control Laws, like Alcohol Prohibition will go Underground and the Black Market will Prevail

Prohibition did not take when put into law, and gun control will not take either. It will lead to underground markets, in time government will have to repeal gun laws to make our country safer.
Prohibition lasted 14 years before it was repealed and the violence created as a result was massive.

Sidebar: Politicians/lawyers partake in alcohol frequently, read books to learn about JF Kennedy, (His father made millions by bootlegging during prohibition) we still elected his son president, (JFK used LSD and Marijuana to combat his Addison's disease), LB Johnson, FDR, Martin Van Buren...you name a president and politician, look up their history. Today in DC alcohol and social events go hand in hand, accepted by all. Was prohibition effective? Even politicians went against the law...

Prohibition was not a constitutional right and that caused quite an uproar.

My point?
Let's work with the gun owners now, what the people want is to keep their guns and skip the people's' uprising over a constitutional right being taken away by Federal law. This will keep America safer.

I Thank God George Washington Was Not a Lawyer

George Washington warns the nation in his Farewell Address to beware of those in power in government. This is a short summary of what he said:

"What does the first president of a new nation, spawned by violent revolutionary war against the world's mightiest imperial power, say upon his departure? George Washington in 1796 warns his fellow countrymen (blacks and women could not vote at this time) "The habits of free thinking in a free Country" should prevail and that the division of powers between the different "spheres of government' (i.e. branches) should be jealously guarded. But he suspected this would not be the case over time and that one branch of government would prevail over the others (a new monarch?) and that this would be "the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."

Young people today, as young generations before, are naive to the way laws are enforced once allowed to be put in place by politicians.  On the surface a law seems good for everybody, but once in the hands if the Federal government politicians, the lawyers will disempower the the average citizen.

I submit a personal case in point of gun law.  I live in a county where the judge wants Federal gun control laws in place, he believes "it is the right thing to do."  Since the Federal government has not been able to do this he has made it impossible to get a legal gun license in my county.  How?  I paid the monies needed, I took the gun safety course required, I had all requirements completed  with the character references written and went to complete the final step to become a legal gun permit licensed holder.  Once at the police station, I was told the judge now wanted each character reference person who already wrote one page for me, to now write a two page document on why they believe I am of good character to get this license.

The policeman told me this judge will not let you get a gun permit. (Even though it is my constitutional right to get one.) The policeman told me this judge will throw up more and more paperwork roadblocks until I give up.  I did not get my license, I do not own a gun, but I got an education of how lawyers/judges/politicians get what they want even if it is against my constitutional right. 

If the Federal Government gets this foothold, if they fool the average American into thinking gun control will stop gun violence, the government will put laws into place to stop anyone that takes an aspirin as being unfit to own a gun.

The second amendment was put in place to help the average citizen keep political tyrants, dictators, despotism, from over powering them in their homes. Make no mistake, when the government gets involved with individual rights being detailed, the right will soon be removed.  Look at history.

In the video posted on facebook about gun control. Obama never answered the man's questions about: Why Chicago has strict gun laws in place yet has the highest murder numbers in America? It is because people kill people. No law will stop this, but a gun in the hand of a law abiding citizen can possibly stop a murderer.

The only peace I have ever known, I found inside of me.  In this I rest because the world will never have world peace until every person stops violently blaming others, pointing fingers, and wanting death to anyone that disagrees with them. Any politician that wishes death on a fellow American needs to be taken out of office immediately.

We may be imperfect but this free government is the first of its kind in the world and in time with good, morally upright, law abiding politicians in place, (We need to vote a few out now...) we are still the country immigrants come to for our individual freedoms and the opportunities here. Let's keep it that way.

The Stoic's Response

My Sweetheart reads the daily stoic everyday. We discuss how it fits into life but sometimes I say, "Well yes and no...if this happened....

He told me today, you need to write a book entitled, "The Rebuttal to the Stoics."

Immigrants Know Respect

Tonight I met another young man with such a great attitude. He sees no color only his human race. Positive, upbeat, respectful, far away from home.  He sees the office of President of the United States as a position to show respect to the person that sits there whether you voted for him/her or not. He says, once the people have spoken you must accept the elected one and wait for the next election.

I agree. We need more immigrants like this one. We need more Americans like this.

We Breeze in and He Breezes Out

The world is an adventure waiting to unfold and I want to be a part of all the lovely experiences I can. There is not a legal and morally upright event I won't venture to experience if I believe I will learn something of benefit for my health or mind or have fun.

There is a "Peace Village" near us at Hunter Mountain, breathtaking views, vegetarians that practice the Brahma Kamaris religion. It is open to the public.

Sometimes I visit Peace Village alone for relaxation and prayerful meditation with good likeminded people that live there. I check the calendar of events they observe throughout the year. On this Sunday I decided to go and hear one of their world leaders speak, I asked Sweetheart if he'd like to go, they're serving a free lunch, it is in the mountains, it will be beautiful, just you and me, let's go together...and he said, "Yes."

When we arrived at the lecture room, we were asked to take our shoes off. Me, no problem, my husband, no deal. He already feels like an outcast because he kept his shoes on. The speaker gave the teaching and it was good but Sweetheart worried he was seen as an anarchist for not removing his shoes. I told him, "Don't worry, you are not the first to do this I'm sure." Afterwards the teacher wanted to give us a red thread bracelet, give each of us a blessing, put a red dot on the forehead as a ceremonial sign of respecting all women of the world and a dessert snack.

Sweetheart watches a couple of people go up front, sit in front of this great teacher, stare into her eyes for a minute or two...she said this was important for us to connect, and then she gave words of blessing for each individual, tied a red thread bracelet on you, put a red dot on your forehead and gave you a delicious treat. Sweetheart said, "I'd like to have that snack, this is taking too long to get to the free lunch but this is weird and I'm not going up there to stare into anyone's eyes, I'm out of here."

Me: "Ok, I'll meet you after."

An hour or more later, it takes a lot of time to stare and tie and dot 30 some people...I join him outside. He is apologizing for leaving me alone on our "date," "I tell him, no big deal. Let's go enjoy the free lunch provided outside." I no more worried about what anyone thought of him or my husband than what season it was. I have no control over either, so why worry? The lunch was delicious. The afternoon sitting in the gazebo enjoying the mountain view, priceless. I have another item, a red bracelet with a gold medallion for a shadow box of my adventures.

I may breeze in to see what is happening but like my Sweetheart, if I don't like it, I'll breeze out. Ain't love grand? I love this man, we are different but so alike in our core. Thank you universe for bringing us together. 😉

Another Legal Immigrant Speaks

Today I met another very interesting American citizen He has been here 15 years and he traveled here because he heard such beautiful stories about individual freedom here in the USA.  He is from Gambia, Africa.  He knows the power of a dictator who cannot be taken out of office.  He left his country to earn money here to send to his country to legally get the dictator, Yahya Jammeh out of office.  Jammeh like other power crazy angry men, made anyone that spoke against him, disappear.

He tells me his people from all over the world, Canada, Europe, America, sent a lot of money to the oppositional underground to fund their efforts to oust this murderer. He has a passion and love for his family back in Gambia so he lives meagerly here so he can send the majority of his money to his African family.  He is a bachelor by choice. He is so passionate about the politics in his country that he actually went back to Gambia in December 2016 to see the new leader, Adama Barrow take his office.

He told of how the former country leader refused to leave after he was voted out by the people. Jammeh was warned he would be killed if he did not leave the capital residence. In the end Jammeh was taken by force out to a prison in a surrounding country.  He had the good sense to walk out instead of being executed.

Now this legal immigrant, this passionate, good hearted man, is so pleased and happy for his family in Gambia yet he will stay here for the money he makes to send home.  America needs immigrants like this man to remind us of who we use to be before we became materialistic and selfish.  We have it so good here and yet we complain.

This man, this legal citizen I met loves the USA.  As we talked about our current president Trump, he has no ill feelings towards any US president elected.  There is so much opportunity here, I love it here.  As we talked about Senators and Congressmen who do not have termed seats, he like me agree...

These politicians must be out after serving a limited number of years, (8 years is enough for all of them) to get totally out politics and let new blood serve.  For politicians to stay in unlimited amounts of time is how corruption sets in.  These people who are funded by special interest groups become selfish. Sex, drugs, alcohol, personal luxuries at the civilians' expense is inevitable.  It is human nature.  Selfishness with free rides on taxpayer's unlimited money causes inbred corruption in the system.  He like many Americans want term limits on everyone in the government, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, and maybe the Supreme Court. This is the only way to keep the leaders in check, doing the right thing for the citizens.

Anyone want to start this petition?  We need a lawyer to do this I do believe to get inside the machinery of Washington DC and get these laws in place. I'll sign, who's with me?

Fathers are Important too

There are so many women, especially celebrities, who say "I make every decision in light of what is best for the children." Yet the divorce rate is higher than ever.  How about instead of constantly removing men from the home of their children through divorce, we see that the father stays in the house with the bio mother, helping raise his children? How about we begin to understand that a father is just as important as the mother?  The family unit must be strong to make the children strong.

The most important thing a mother can do for her children is love their father, help him stay in the house with his kids.

There was a time when the law gave women no right to her children, now the law has swung too far the other way and women are too quick to take the men out of the house.  We have to find a middle ground to keep fathers and mothers in the house with the children.  Children need their bio parents.

Women have got to stand up and speak to maintain peace and kindness in the home. A passive aggressive mother never helped anyone, least of all the children.

A personal opinion, I like the polarity of the two sexes to teach children.
