I just send a message to Adam Keigwan on Facebook letting him know my thoughts about SB 249. Adam is Yee's right hand man. Please be respectful and voice your opinions on it. State facts and do not threat.

Of course he does. His Facebook page refers to us a "crazies" (or some such) Did you really think you could reason with him?

When are you folks gonna get it? The other side comes in two flavors. True believers (who you will never convert because they don't want to honestly consider opposing views - it upsets their sense of balance) and the really corrupt pols who hate independent minded people who will not consent to being ruled by their "betters".

They, regrettably, can and must be defeated in the political arena, or the courts.

It's simple. People who engage is un-American activities need to be removed from office and any form of civil service. We need to resurrect elements of the House Un-American Activities Committee and clean things up a bit. It's that or at some point in the future, sooner rather than later mind you, the socialists will win and that's the end of the game folks.

What is un-American? It's simple:
Americans who seek to take away liberty and property from others are not true Americans. You cannot be an enemy of freedom and be an American.

Americans who are not self-reliant and depend on government to take care of them are not Americans. You cannot depend on government and be free.

Americans who put foreign interests above those of America and do things to the detriment of the country are not Americans. They are a contemptible lot who would even commit treason if the price was right.

How many so-called Americans fit into these 3 categories? Quite a few I'd imagine, especially in California, NYC and Washington DC.



I see no problem with people being anti-American, however we cannot let people like that dictate or participate in public policy matters. It's the only thing that will preserve our founding principles of liberty and justice for all.

No matter how frustrating the gun grabbers can be, I cannot get behind this. That was a very dark period in our nation's history, and it does not need to be repeated. Just as much as we have a right to petition our government for redress, they do as well, and to stifle that activity with witch hunts, without mincing words, is unconstitutional. In the marketplace of ideas, I have faith that our notions of freedom, liberty, and right to self defense will win out, and failing that, we have the judicial system to which we can appeal our cause to at least limit the most egregious offenses. I know it's easy to lose confidence in our institutions, but another form of totalitarianism isn't the answer.

It got out of hand, I think we can do better to keep it under control. I don't think it's something we keep around, but a tool you bring out of the box only when you need it. Like getting a snake out to clean the crud out of your pipes.

I think there need to be some serious controls on such a tool though.

I look at it this way, the pendulum needs to swing back a ways, we've gone to far off kilter now. The democratic party leadership is socialist, the republican party leadership has skewed to the left a lot with all the damn RINOs.

It's that or it will be worse further down the road. Cancers must be removed early to save the patient and reduce the recovery period.

This isn't just about gun-grabbing, that's just one major facet of the socialist agenda, there is a lot of socialist crap that needs to be cleaned out. Socialism is the antithesis of what our founding principles are. Socialism is un-American at every level. EVERY level.

How does SB249 keep law abiding people safe from criminals? Criminals don't follow idiotic laws that ignorant, ideological, and or naive senators cook up. SB249 would only hurt law abiding citizens.

Do you support conceal carry permits for common citizens who are not felons or have a history of violence?

What is "common sense" about taking away civil rights?

What do you think law enforcement or our military would say if you tried to make them follow the same foolish laws that are already in place here in California? Or even this new proposed legislation?

At what point do you think the citizens are going to have enough of this and just disregard bogus laws? Oppression and tyranny from a nanny state is a real thing.

i'm sorry i disagree with you but POLICESTATE is right when it comes to this. we are witnessing the outright conifscation of legally purchased and configured firearms. this is no joke Yee and the democrats in this state are now letting us see EXACTLY their intention here. not like it was a secret but it's pretty blatant at this point.

what makes you think they will stop at our AR's AK's, FAL's and so on? they will never stop. your precious shotgun that you think is safe will be next. and that hunting rifle you prize so much because it's a family heirloom will be next. and your handguns they will be on the chopping block as well. we are seeing what the English and the Australians went through.

so yes it is time to resurect tht dark period in America to get these very well known unArmerican politicians.

Well, you could tell Adam what you think...

Or, you could do something that could be more damaging... Like showering them with fawning adoration for taking a stand on gun control... appeal to their arrogance and affirm the righteousness of their actions. Given this amount of support has the potential of feeding their lust to take even more... into the realm of gluttony. Arrogance and gluttony are horrible vices with predictable side effects.

. . . the republican party leadership has skewed to the left a lot with all the damn RINOs. . .

That process started a long time ago with Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy wanted to judge the Constitution on moral grounds, introduce a graduated income tax, tax and control corporations, place an inheritance tax on wealthy families, elevate the Commerce Clause over states' rights, control wages, appoint socially progressive justices to the Supreme Court, have direct elections of senators and state primary elections, and of course lock up all natural resources under federal control. Might have been our first RINO. Although by today's standards, he would have been a conservative, if not quite a TEA Party activist.

I hope you aren't serious. The House Un-American Activities Committee operated by taking away people's fundamental right to due process of law. Which, by the way, is un-American.

Almost all of the Communist threat was nothing more than a figment of people's imaginations. As they flailed against phantom Communists, they did a hundred times more damage to our society than the Soviet Union could ever hope to do.

Our traditions of protecting human rights, against tyranny of both governments and majorities, make the United States invincible to subversion from without. The enemies of freedom can only win by scaring us into destroying ourselves. Don't fall for it. :mad:

Please explain to me how Communists can hurt anyone by infiltrating Hollywood.

Obviously it's dangerous to have agents of enemy nations working in U.S. government jobs. What I'm saying is that McCarthy, and people who thought like him, were even more dangerous.

In the United States, we punish people for what they do, not what they think. McCarthy wanted to change that. Ironically, this would have made the United States very similar to the Communist totalitarian nations that McCarthy claimed to hate so much.

Remember the Bible? Remember how Satan said to Jesus, "I will make you lord of the whole world, if you will only bow down and worship me?" If Jesus had thought like McCarthy, he'd have thought he could bring God's salvation to the world by taking Satan up on that offer. :facepalm:

Going after the means of communication was always one of their very first steps. Do you really need it explained how that's harmful? In a word: propaganda. We've been enjoying about 6-7 decades of it.

Non sequitur. They can both be independently dangerous (or not).

I agree, he was brutish and went about it the entirely wrong way. I'm just saying he was right in what he was saying. The Communists were a very real threat in that time frame, both externally and internally, and putting light on it wasn't bad. He was just entirely the wrong person to do so and the manner in which he conducted it was wrong, too.

Adam isn't elected. I can't see the value of contacting him at all.

human nature being what it is, odds are he will pick the most out there comments and hold them up as "these are the people who don't want this law to pass" with the insinuation that they are the very reason the law should pass.

I would put the pressure where it belongs, on the elected ones directly.

And as always, keep your frustration, anger, dislike etc in check. stay focused on simple messages that basically say "I disagree and I vote"

IMO, it's a waste of time to communicate with him; he's proven he's closed to the issue and he's basically, just yee's coffee boy, it is now going to be in the hands of the court if it passes and JB doesn't veto.

he's entitled to his opinions as are we.

keep in mind, people like yee, deleon, and such don't understand the difference between right and wrong, rational or irrational, moral or immoral...illegal to them means, "A sick bird"...

i also believe, it will pass...not being cynical...just being realistic..."They" have enormous time, effort and energy invested at this point, why would they give up now?

we need to bear down even HARDER...

i believe it will end up in court...hopefully, to be overthrown as JB may decide to sit this one out...if he does...we all know it will AUTOMATICALLY become law after so many days if not acted on.

BTW: 1859Sharps said it above, too...my sentiments exactly.

I say let CGF do all the communicating and he will do the business as usual of back and forth. Personally communicating with him would be fruitless, you are not going to convince him he's wrong and if anything you may give him more ammo. Either by something he will call as "racist" or he will use the strategy as something he and his team has not thought of. In the legal business, more information, and first gains a lot of mileage. The more surprise they will be with the opposition and our ideas, the better it is for us.
