Shocking ATF Gun Running Allegations!
Remember the ATF gun running scandal?
The scandal centered around the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms) program Operational Fast and Furious which began in 2009. Based in the Phoenix, AZ field office, the ATF encouraged American gun dealers to sell guns to Mexican criminals so the bureau could track them and take out a cartel. Yet, there was no method of tracing the weapons and they ended up being used in a myriad of murders in Mexico. Thanks to ATF, 2,000 weapons hit the streets of Mexico and two of them were used at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
ATF agent and whistleblower, John Dodson blew the lid off of the entire situation in 2011. The ATF even stopped him from releasing a book on the topic. Now, Dodson is saying that the Mexicans thugs that killed Brian Terry, were sent to the border to do a drug rip off with information provided by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). But it all went bad. According to Dodson, these guys were known criminals who were armed by the ATF and directed by the FBI.
And this is the government that wants more gun control?
Questions.
1. Why hasn't Attorney General Eric Holder been fired?
2. Why was the DEA, FBI and ATF supporting these murderous criminals?
3. Why didn't we find this out sooner?

‘Duck Dynasty’: Phil Robertson FIRED for Anti-Gay Remarks
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
I maybe the only man in America that hasn't seen the hit A&E reality television show "Duck Dynasty." But I really don't watch as much TV as I used to. Recently, one of its stars, Phil Robertson, was removed from the show after blasting an anti-gay rant in GQ magazine.
“...start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men... It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical...”
From GQ Magazine.
Needless to say, A&E released a statement rejecting Robertson's ignore rant. The man wantonly used his religion to justify his anti-gay rhetoric and I completely disagree with his message. I'm heterosexual, but I don't think any of us should be judging anyone based on their sexual orientation. If someone wants a dick up their ass, so be it. it's none of my business.
Now the question is should Robertson be fired for expressing an opinion that his employer fully rejects? A lot of people are calling this a violation of the second amendment. But it's clearly not. Robertson has the freedom to say whatever he wants, but the network reserves the right to fire him for whatever legal reason they want. And in this case, the network executives felt that he embarrassed them and hurt their brand.
If I were the head executive, would I have fired Robertson? If I were a corporate office manager, I would fire an employee for making a public statement like this.
However, in this case, they made a deal with him for a reality show. They knew what they were getting. They hired him so they could make money off of Roberston being himself. And now they're firing him for being himself.
So in this context, no, I wouldn't fire him. The comment was more ignorant than hateful. He's a reflection of what is preached about throughout the bible.
“...don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right...”
I'm not a Christian, but most Americans claim to be. So why is political correctness is such contrast with what's written in the bible?
The producers had to know that putting devoted Christians on the network would mean that at least some of them would share this viewpoint. And if so, why fire one for speaking out. Did the network hope that they would be politically correct, because of the large sum of cash they were making?
Probably so.
But it didn't happen. So why did they really fire him? Did they fire him because of what he said or because he actually said it publicly.
Although, I don't agree with his foolish comments, I definitely respect the fact that he wasn't willing to sell out. He spoke his mind and didn't seem to care if it was politically correct. And with this much money on the line, he may have been the only guy in America who was willing to do that.

Retail Sales Up in November, Down on Black Friday Weekend!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Although, the media is still celebrating strong retail sales in November, the numbers are clear that the most important shopping days were indeed a disaster.
Census Bureau said November sales rose 0.7% throughout November (which includes Black Friday), but the biggest shopping days of the year were very disappointing.
Retail sales raise hopes for 2014
Retail sales in the brick and mortar stores during the Black Friday weekend (including Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday) were down nearly 3% nationwide with a loss of $1.7 billion from last year. the average amount of money spent by an American during the four day weekend dropped to $407.02 from $423.55. The total sales dropped to $57.4 billion, drop 3% from last year’s $59.1 billion.
Gloomy Numbers for Holiday Shopping’s Big Weekend
Even the seemingly optimistic report was misleading. Here's a section of USAToday's article,
"....A "temporary reprieve from pump prices, and a lingering wealth effect from rising home prices and record-high equity markets have helped support consumer confidence and consumer spending,'' Piegza wrote in a note to clients. "Going forward, however, temporary factors can only do so much.''
The growth was highly unbalanced, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. Cuts in food-stamp benefits held down food sales, and apparel sales are so weak that clothing prices are falling amid a highly promotional holiday season.
"People are buying big things — but they aren't buying clothes,'' Swonk said. "Grocers are complaining.''..."
Tim Mullaney, USA TODAY
These numbers can't be used to justify Dow 16,000.
Last week, jobless claims surged by 68,000 to 368,000 new people filing for initial unemployment benefits. I don't find this to be very alarming, because the only reason why the numbers drop is because of seasonal jobs. Simply put, there weren't any jobs to begin with.

NEGATIVE Lending Rates? What happen is going on?
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Are they serious? According to market Watch, central banks are considering a negative deposit rate. Basically, the banks store their money in central banks such as the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank and get pay an interest rate. At least, that's the way it works now. With a negative rate, the banks would have to pay to park money in the central banks.
"The European Central Bank is reportedly considering such a move, and officials at the Federal Reserve keep bringing up the idea.... That means banks would have to pay the ECB to lend to it overnight, an unprecedented move for the bank..."
So the rate for the European Central Bank would go from 0.1% to NEGATIVE 0.1%. What the hell is going on in the financial markets?

Census Cooked Job Numbers to Help Obama Win Election?
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Remember when the unemployment rate dropped sharply in August of 2012? He really helped the Obama campaign distract the voters from the awful economic reality. There was no economic recovery. And now The NY Post is reporting that government has been actively falsifying the unemployment numbers. Gee, you think?
"Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy. And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today."
John Crudele NY Post.
The New York Post lost a lot of credibility with me when they reported a lot of false information after the Boston bombing. However, they are now claiming that the Census actually produced fake jobs reports during 2012 to help Obama win re-election. They're claiming that employees conducted fake interviews and lied about the data.
If this can be verified by another news outlet, this will be one hell of a scandal.

George Zimmerman Charged With Aggravated Assault of Girlfriend! Another Alleged Gun Threat!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
It's November 18th, 2013 and George Zimmerman is in trouble again. This time, he has been arrested for allegedly threatening his girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, was a shotgun.
Let's see, this is the third time George Zimmerman has been accused of domestic violence. This is the second time a woman has claimed he threatened her with a gun. There was an incident in 2005 with his fiance, the alleged pistol threat to his estranged wife this year (charges dropped) and now this allegedly shotgun threat with his girlfriend. Not to mention the fight with the cops in 2005. He was able to take a class to reduce the “resisting officer with violence" charge. That was the year his fiance filed a restraining order siting domestic violence. I'm not even going to go into details about his cousin accusing him of molesting her.
What's important is that there is a clear pattern. This guy has far too many red flags.
Now does his criminal history and charges mean that he is guilty of murder? No.
I think it is fascinating how George Zimmerman's supporters could bash a teenager with no criminal history, while upholding George Zimmerman as a hero when he had such a questionable story and a controversial past.
And even now, many people claim that he was a hero for shooting Trayvon Martin.
Here's my question: How many red flags does it take to wake people up to the fact that this asshole is unstable. He's becoming the media's poster boy for conceal carry and the Stand Your Ground laws.
Race was always a big undertone in the media's coverage, but I was always concerned about how this character would be used to paint conceal carry permit holders as crazies.
Frankly, I think it's embarrassing that so many people in the gun community are continuing to support him. I think the gun community would have been wise to distance themselves from this man.
With that said, I wonder if these charges have changed some people's view of George Zimmerman? After all, they are only charges and he seems to be good at getting charges dropped and sentences reduced.
And it's possible that all three women were lying. Every defendant is innocent until proven guilty.
The question is do you think George Zimmerman is unstable?

House Republicans to Impeach Eric Holder?!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Finally, the House Republicans are going to at least attempt to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder. This man has continued to violate federal law. I've spoken repeatedly about his involvement and coverup in ATF gun-running disaster "Operation Fast and Furious" that lead to 2,000 illegal guns flooding the streets of Mexico. Many of these guns were used by criminals to kill innocent people.
This man should have been fired years ago.

Enrollment in Obamacare is a Complete Failure!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Obamacare
According to the Health and Human Services Department, Obamacare enrollment stands at a mere 106,185. And it gets worse. Most of these plans are state run programs.
"The actual number of those who have selected plans through the glitch-ridden federally run marketplace is about one-fourth of that, or 26,794, HHS figures show."
The federal government expected 500,000 new members for the first month, but obviously the real numbers are no where near the expectations. Interestingly enough, 396,000 people have been deterred to Medicare.

Typhoon Haiyan! Obamacare!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Obamacare
Obamacare When if the U.S. government created a healthcare program and no one should up? Well, we will soon find out very soon. Here's how bad the situation is at this point. The U.S. government expected 1.4 million enrollees for the year 2014. So far, in 12 states where the system is running, only 49,100 people have signed up. That's less than 3%. The percentage is 11% in Vermont, but only 2% in New York. But here's the real issue. It doesn't matter. The problem is that there will not be enough young healthy people enrolling into the system to pay for the new sick people. Premiums will rise and the middle class will take a huge hit. They will have less money and spend less. This will impact retail and the entire economy.

Typhoon Haiyan
One of the worst natural disasters in history has left more than 10,000 people dead as bodies are piling up in the streets of Philippine cities. With winds traveling around 235 miles per hour, Typhoon Haiyan has created a devastating amount of destruction. The government suspects that at least 10,000 people may have lost their lives in the city of Tacloban, Leyte. The number is likely to grow as many more bodies are discovered in the wreckage across the city. Let me just say that I hope the government gets as much help from the international community as it needs. But as always, we can learn from this situation.
Right now, people are desperately looking for food and water in the affected area. I understand that many of you will donate money and supplies to help the victims. And if it reaches the people in the Philippines, that would be great. However, don't forget that this could happen to us. Please take time to seriously assess what your household may need in an emergency.

When Will the Economy Collapse?
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Every once in awhile a stranger pops up in the comment section of my youtube channel and asks, "When will the collapse happen?" It always strikes me as a very strange question to ask given the current economic environment. After all, Rome wasn't built in one day and it didn't collapse in one day either. It was process that spanned over decades. Granted, I thought we would have entered the final phrase much sooner, but history is our best guide.
Many of the same problems that plagued the British Empire, Roman Empire and the Soviet Union are present in the current American Empire. Over-expansion, unnecessary (and damaging) wars, excessive spending, devaluation of the currency, rising poverty, over-the-top cronyism, extreme corruption in government, breakdown in law, lack of respect for leadership and decaying infrastructure are all classic signs of empire decline.
There are plenty of examples of these issues in the U.S. We currently have a record 90.6 million Americans not working, 47.7 million of food stamps, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost us trillions without any meaningful results, both the TARP bailout, IRS scandal and bank scandals highlighted the increasing corruption and fraud, the income gap between the top 1% and the lower 50% is growing to record levels, we have no hope of paying back the $17 trillion federal debt, credit card debt is near $1 trillion dollars, student loan debt is even greater at $1.2 trillion, our mortgage debt is $7.78 trillion and total household debt in $13 trillion.
Detroit and Flint were among the wealthiest cities in America with vast industrial sectors that fueled the great American middle class. Now, Detroit is bankrupted, tens of thousands of good paying automotive and industrial jobs have left the cities and the country. We have major U.S. cities like Chicago and New Orleans with less than 10 days of cash on hand. New York City and Philadelphia have dangerously low reserves.
The NSA's increasing, obsessive, expansive, paranoid surveillance programs just shows how desperate the U.S. government has become. The American leadership (if you want to come it that) has become so incompetent that the mainstream media can't even attempt to protect it without losing all credibility. The Affordable Care Act is being exposed as anything but affordable.
The law is fundamentally flawed because it is created with a series of unsupported assumptions. The plan requires more Americans to get a government approved health insurance plan. The problem is that many Americans don't want health insurance, others can't afford it and the law actually encourages the very people the system needs most to withdraw from the system.
Why would a young, healthy adult pay high premiums for a health insurance plan they will not likely use? They could save money by avoiding insurance and simply get insurance when they get sick. Young and healthy Americans will simply take the 1% fine and avoid paying for the pricy government plans, which means many of the new health insurance users will be the older and less healthy Americans. As a result, there will be less people contributing to the system and more users using more services. This will destroy both state and federal deficits. But don't worry, the federal government will just have the Federal Reserve create more money. This will cause the current record $17 trillion federal debt and the $50 trillion debt in liabilities to grow at an even faster rate.
The employee mandate forces businesses to provide insurance for all employees who work over 30 hours. So how will businesses respond? They will layoff full-time workers and replace them with part-time workers. No surprise here.
So by this point is should be obvious that the system is collapsing. The Federal Reserve's money pumping scheme clearly didn't help the economy recover. Existing home sales for Sept 2013 when down 1.3%. The unemployment rate is down, but that's because millions of Americans have given up and dropped out of the workforce. Is that a sign of an economic recovery? In September 2013, the labor-force participation hits 35-year low. Sure, many of the record 90.6 million Americans not working are high schoolers, college students and retired folks, but let's get real. The jobs are not there.
So this brings us back to the question: When Will the Economy Collapse?
A friend of mine had a cabin in Northern Michigan. We went up north and discovered a huge tree with a massive crack leaning over his cabin. Now, anyone who looked up could tell that the tree was going to collapse and slash the cabin. Nobody knew the exact hour and minute, but it was clear that it was going to happen. Needless to say, we hired someone to safely cut the tree down before it collapsed and destroyed the house.
Well, look at the economy as a large bridge severely damaged by an earthquake. Let's call the earthquake, the Federal Reserve. Although, there were many entities that damaged the bridge. Nevertheless, the mayor calls an engineer out to examine the bridge. After a few hours, the engineer's verdict is dire. he declares that the damage to structure of the bridge is catastrophic. He tells the mayor and his staff how they can put in some temporary structures to keep the bridge up.
The mayor then asks the engineer, "If we can't get the equipment, how long do we have until the bridge collapses?"
The engineer sighs, turns to the mayor with a heavy look and says,
"I can't tell you the exact second the bridge will collapse, but you need to call the fire department, alert the federal government and evacuate the area."

Questions about AK Rifles and Ammo
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Viewer Question
"I overheard a conversation at my local gunshop and wanted to know your thoughts on the subject. Two gentlemen were discussing cheap 7.62x39 namely tul ammo and wolf, they said that due to the cheap metals that are used to make this ammo that by roughly 4,000 rounds said ammo will ruin the barrel in your ak47. Being that it is not an easy task to replace a barrel in an ak, what are your thoughts."
My Response,
This is why I tell people to conduct their gun research before going into a gun shop. I've never heard so much bullshit and false information as I've heard walking into gun shops. The salesmen often don't know what they are talking about. Frankly, if the salesman is under 50, I would ignore him. I'm kidding. Well, not really. Generally, the old guys tend to be the ones who know what they're talking about.
As far as the customers, too many people repeat crap they've heard from people who know nothing about the product. Last year, I walked into a gun shop, asked a 20 something salesman about the AKs and he gave me some dumb joke about the AKs and talked about the superior accuracy of the AR. The idiot then showed me a rifle he referred to as a Czech AK. There's no such thing. It was a Vz-59. Despite having the same caliber, he had no clue that the guns had two very different designs and they didn't even accept the same magazine.
Now it's true, you will need a gunsmith to get the new AK barrel replaced. However, it will take a hell of a lot of ammo and usage to wear a barrel out. Unless you rapid fire with corrosive ammo for two hours 7 days a week for the 10 years and never clean it, I doubt you'll have to worry about it. It's okay to repeat fire sometimes, but keep in mind that excessive heat is what helps the friction wear the barrel out over time. Few people have the money to wear a barrel out.
As far as Russian ammo, just clean the rifle after you shoot it. I prefer to stick with non-corrosive ammo as it is easier to clean the rifle after shooting. I've shot Wolf (Military Classic and Black box), Golden Bear, Brown Bear and Golden Tiger with absolutely no problems. Just clean the rifle and you'll be fine.

The Suburbanite Who Bugs Out!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
I think too many people assume that moving out of the city will guarantee or dramatically improve their safety if a societal breakdown situation. If a nationwide emergency causes the power grid to fail, some places will be safer than others, but no one will be as safe as you think. I've heard many people say over the years that I need to get out of the city and that I won't have a chance if the shit hits the fan.
But I'm starting to get the impression that these people don't use the nuances of environment and how it relates to emergencies. People often point out the cities will be more dangerous because of the people. And although I agree that in the short term, the cities will be very dangerous, I also think that a lot of the people in the cities will drive to the surburbs, while the suburbanites will try to move into the country. There's a lot of people living in the suburbans around Detroit with cabins in Northern Michigan.
If there's a national emergency, almost everyone in Southeast Michigan is going to be trying to move up North I-75. That means if you're a suburbanite who thinks you're safe, you will likely get stuck in traffic if you try to bug out in the early stages of a crisis. Your best bet maybe to wait until the first wave of violence and panic ends. Personally, I'm not bugging out until I run out of resources and/or facing an imminent threat with overwhelming force. Until that day, I plan to stay in my home and bug in for the long term.
Keep in mind that if you live in the suburbans, a lot of desperate people will be forced to leave the highways and major roads to find resources your suburban area.
Simply put, the city will have more desperate people, but the it will also have many more resources. The rural areas will have less desperate people, but less resources. When you go from the city to the country, you're leaving one set of challenges for a different set of challenges. My ideal scenario would be to locate in a rural area with trusted family and plenty of my own resources.
Remember if you are a suburbanite planning on bugging out, please have resources already at the location. And it would be best to have a trusted family member at the location who can guard it until you arrive. You don't want to show and find strangers in your cabin. if the situation is grave, I doubt a man would be willing to give up shelter for his family without a fight.
Here are the things you will want to have in your vehicle.
1) 4 Wheel Drive
If you have to abandon the major roads, this could can in handy. But also beware that 4x4 makes the vehicle more complicated and if it breaks, it could expensive to repair.
2) First Kid (and knowledge of how to use it.)
3) Fire extinuigisher (and knowledge of how to use it)
4) Water (this includes water bottles and water filters)
5) Lighters and matches
6) Two Way Radios.
7) Spare tire, spare auto parts and tools.
8) A Plan (that all household member are aware of.)
5 Ways To Improve the GOP Presidential Primary! SC GOP Primary Indicates Winner in General Election!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
In the 2012 presidential race, the GOP had two big problems 1) They had a terrible candidate (with a liberal record) and 2) The primary seemed to drag on for months longer than it needed to. Obama had two major liabilities (Obamacare and the economy). Republican nominee Mitt Romney failed to capitalize on either. Not only did the former Massachusetts Governor sign Romneycare (which is the predecessor to the Affordable Care Act), but he failed to created any transparent economic ideas.
The GOP was stuck with a closet big government, corporatist who declared his supported for banning semi-auto rifles (in 2007) and a primary schedule that wouldn't quit. In 2016, the GOP will have to utilize its election schedule to weed out anti-gun liberals like Chris Christie and Over-the-top religious nutjobs (aka sleazy politicians preparing to be hardcore Christians to get elected).
Here's how I would fix the GOP Presidential Primary schedule.
1) Primaries, not Caucuses
Caucuses are too damn easy to rig. Remember Ron Paul being robbed in Maine.
2) Liberty loving States First
Force the candidates to appeal to voters in states with a strong culture of independent thought and liberty.
Say what you will about Sarah Palin, but she is a long way from a closet liberal (e.g. Mitt Romney) or a fascist (e.g. George Bush). As stupid as Palin seemed in 2008, I still trusted her more than McCain. And frankly, states such as Vermont, Alaska and New Hampshire are more likely to take a risk on candidates with fresh ideas. Putting these states first would limit candidates ability to become too depend on using religion to manipulate voters and therefore strengthen the eventual winner for the general election.
3) Red States before Blue States
Weed out the fake conservatives but forcing candidates to actually win over their base in the South, the American West and prove themselves in the Midwest. Why would you have the New York and D.C. Primary before Texas and Utah? And why in the hell is anyone voting in June?
The GOP is not going to win D.C. or NY, why not let Texas play a bigger role in deciding the nominee for a party is is supposedly conservative?
The answer is simple. The DNC and GOP serve the same masters and therefore the entire system is a fraud. But let's assume that it could be reformed.
4) Winner Takes ALL
Enough with letting Scrub#2 win some delegates with only 15.2% of the vote in Alaska. This models forces the weaker candidates out sooner so the better ones can gather up delegates and wrap up the nomination.
5) Shorter the schedule
Remember when Obama was bashing Romney in May 2012 and he was still stuck in the primary. By the way, with my conservative-states-first schedule, Romney would have had a harder time winning the primary and if he did, he would have been done by April 30th. In 2012, it ended on June 26th. What the hell?

6) Common Sense
Is it realistic to expect Republicans never do well when there's 5 presidential candidates in the race after the South Carolina primary? Not really.
In 2008, McCain, Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, Paul and Giuliani were all in the South Carolina Primary. If you have six guys in the race at this point, you have a problem. it means the field is weak.
And this is why the GOP nominee lost in the general election. Remember McCain?
In 2012, Gingrich, Romney, Paul, Santorum and Perry were in the South Carolina Primary. The general election results were the same. Remember Romney?
What about 2000? Sure Bush stole the election in Florida, but I do remember there only being three candidates in the South Carolina Primary. Alan Keyes, John McCain and eventual presidential winner (and cheater) George W. Bush. Too be fair, Obama recieved plenty of votes via fraud in 2008 and 2012. but when the GOP field was small, the nominee won the general election.
In 1996, there were three GOP candidates in South Carolina: Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan and Steve Forbes. However, the economy was strong and Dole was a terrible candidate.Plus, Ross Perot running as an independent didn't help. So he actually had more than three opponents.
In 1992, there were only two GOP candidates in South Carolina. But George H.W. Bush was an incumbent president. It's never a good sign to have a president being challenged by someone in his own party. One challenger is too large of a field when you're an incumbent. This only happens when you piss your own party off.
In 1988, George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, Pat Robertson were in South Carolina and big surprise, the GOP nominee won.
In 1984, there were no GOP challengers to Ronald Regan.
In 1980, there were only three candidates within the GOP presidential field: Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and John B. Anderson.
Bottomline: Shorten the primary schedule to allow GOP nominee to battle the Democrat, use conservative states to weed out the RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), use winner-take-all to weed out the scrubs and use common sense. If you have more than three candidates in a GOP presidential primary in South Carolina, the field is weak and the Republican Party is going to lose in the general election. When you have candidates that appeal to most of the conservative base, there is no need for 6 guys. Therefore, if you have 4, 5 or 6 guys, the candidates are failing to appeal to the base.
Side note: Here's a clue. If a country club Republican born into a wealthy family named Willard declares the certain guns should be banned, DON'T NOMINATE HIM. Conservative love guns, period! There's nothing wrong with being rich. In fact, I want a candidate who is successful, but if you lack charm, you can't afford to make yourself appear more out of touch by bashing the gun owners you need to win the damn election.
Use your head! The reason why Romney didn't get enough votes is because he didn't give enough people a reason to show up and vote for him. The GOP needs to stop bashing gays and start focusing on solving real problems like the deficit, unemployment, underemployment, shrinking middle class and inflation. They need to focus more on protecting gun rights, stop kissing the big banks collective ass and offer the public a real choice.

What the Hell Happened? Violence and Moral Decay in Black Communities!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Four black teens (ages 16-19) brutally attack man in Little Italy. They broke his jaw. I see young black kids (usually from single parent homes) getting into a lot of trouble here in Flint. And it's only a matter of time until one of them gets shot.
Mob Of Teens Brutally Attack Man In Heart Of Little Italy
This story is not a reflection of all black youth, but clearly we have a problem. Most of our black children are being raised in single mother homes with little or no male influence. The fathers are too often not playing an active role in the children's lives. We have a large percentage of our black mothers with children from different fathers. What we have here in America is a black population that is becoming extremely unstable.
Not only is the black unemployment rate dramatically higher than whites, but we are grossly over-represented in the prison system.
According to the National Institute of Justice, although only 1 out 106 white males are incarcerate in the U.S., one out of 15 black males are incarcerated. Think about that. 1 out of 15 black males are incarcerated. If that's not a sign of instability and failure, what the hell would qualify. And before people send me messages about poverty, slavery and economic inequality, let me cut through the bullshit. Slavery, poverty and racism are terrible, but none of it justifies the violent madness in our black communities.
One Word: Murder!
According to the FBI, even though blacks only represent 12% of the general population, we consistently represent 50% of all murder offenders every year.
LOOK AT IT: Uniform Crime Reporting
Let me break it down for you. In 2011, the United States had 12,664 murders. 50% of the murder victims were black and 46% were white. It gets worse. Here's a racial break of the offenders: 52.4% were black, 45.2% were white. Again, blacks only represent 12% of the population. Houston, we have a f&*%@#$ problem!
There is no conspiracy. Although, most black males are not violent criminals, we are a serious problem. We are producing too many degenerate, thugs. They are killing one each other, they are killing innocent children and they impregnating our women and creating more instability. Our families have broken down, our communities are non-existent and we have lost control.
And the worst thing is that we refuse to admit that we are failing., Just as we refused to admit that the ultra liberal, corrupt union loving, tax-you-to-death, urban disaster known as Detroit was failing. The auto industry's decline hurt Detroit, the political class' response made the problem worse. And now we are making the problem in the black population worse by assuming we can ignore the core problems and blame it on someone else.
We can't blame white people for this madness. Yes, their is systematic and individual racism, but people deal with that all over the world. There are people in Africa who don't even have fresh drinking water. So how can we blame poverty for the the outrageous violence in black areas.
The type of insane killing in cities like Detroit, Chicago, Flint and D.C. is symptomatic of a cultural and moral breakdown.
What the hell happened to black culture? Obviously, most black are not violent loons. Is this the result of CIA operations to poison black communities with crack? Did it begin with the break down of the family? Or maybe it was a combination of factors?
What the hell happened?

Fallout from the George Zimmerman Verdict
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Despite my disdain for George Zimmerman, I'm disappointed by the acts of foolishness that has followed the verdict. A 73 year old black musician was beaten after singing a song in tribute to Trayvon Martin. According to the victim's family, 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews Potter yelled, "it's all your fault" just before rushing on stage to attack 73-year-old Lester Chambers.
Lester Chambers Attacked After Dedicating Song to Trayvon Martin: Family
In Oakland, there were huge protest in support of Trayvon Martin. There were no arrests, but one journalist claimed he was assaulted when he entered the crowd. At various points, protestors stopped traffic and police retreated. It looks like this acts are isolated incidents and there is no indication that there will be any large scale riots.
In national news, race exploitation extraordinaire Al Sharpton, declared that he will organizing protests in 100 cities nationwide. Activists are now calling for a federal inquiry into the case.They want the feds to look at the case to see if Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martin's civil rights. My guess is that this case is going to be used to push some sort of gun control nonsense. As usual, anti gun authoritarian NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is calling for an end to the "Stand Your Ground" statute. There is no way in hell I'm going to like these people use Zimmerman's actions to take away my right to bare arms and defend myself.
Bottom line: The media will continue to exploit this for as long as they can. They'll keep distracting people from the deteriorating economy, while we focus on everything but the powers that be.

George Zimmerman Prediction
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
So here's my George Zimmerman prediction. I can see it going both ways, but I actually think he's closer to a guilty verdict what most people think. His story doesn't pass the smell test. He claimed to be driving in his vehicle when he spotted Trayvon Martin walking through his neighborhood. Zimmerman called 911 and claimed Martin looked suspicious, yet Zimmerman had no probable cause of that Martin committed a crime or even that a crime was committed.
In almost all states, citizens have the legal right to both conceal carry (with a permit) and make a citizen's arrest. It varies from state to state. For example, in Michigan you can only make an arrest for felonies if you have probable cause. In Colorado, you can make arrests for both misdemeanor and felony offenses. No there was no evidence that Martin committed a crime before Zimmerman followed him in his car and fought Zimmerman.
I don't know what happened that night. Maybe Zimmerman freaked Martin out by following him and Martin attacked. Although, I have some serious doubts that Zimmerman would yell her help when he was the one with a gun. And the kickboxer instructor's claim that Zimmerman couldn't fight effective, seemed very silly after learning that Zimmerman trained in kickboxing for a 18 months.
Drama at George Zimmerman trial as Trayvon Martin's parents walk out of court after jury is shown graphic pictures of their son's body
Maybe Zimmerman snapped or maybe he acted foolishly and started a fight he couldn't win. I just think when you have a jury of six women and the defendant is presenting a story this flawed, there is a real risk of conviction.
On the other hand, the defense has done a good job of creating doubt, Remember, the burden of proof is on the prosecution. They must prove Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter or 2nd degree murder beyond all reasonable doubt. And I simply think they failed. The 911 tape is so important. Even Trayvon Martin's dad couldn't tell if the person yelling in the 911 tape was his son. That says a lot. A jury could easily conclude that its reasonable doubt.
Do I think Zimmerman is innocent? Absolutely not. He followed the kid even after being told by the 911 operator that it wasn't necessary. he claimed to exit the safety of his vehicle to see what street he was on, but how could he not know when he had been doing neighborhood watch for so long. Why wouldn't he know his own neighborhood. Especially after making over 60 calls in a gated community to 911. And why would he leave a car to find a street sign? He was already in a car. Why didn't he simply drive to the nearest sign? It simply doesn't pass the smell test.
And don't even get me started on Zimmerman's claim that Martin stood over him and said "You're going to die tonight motherf***er". Wow, that sounds like a cheesy 90s action movie line. It was wise of the defense to stop him from getting on the stand and telling this story. It's not believable and the defense has already created doubt. But is it reasonable doubt?
The defense had a witness claiming Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman. It helps support the claim that there was a struggle. But it doesn't clear Zimmerman, because he initiate the conflict by following Martin.
The prosecution for O.J. Simpson was incredibly incompetent and he walked. This team may not be as bad, but it is likely that Zimmerman will walk. But I have a feeling that there is a decent chance that this all-female jury may convict him, simply because he followed Trayvon, shot him and lied about what happened. If it was Zimmerman who was yelling help, should he be acquitted. When if he started it and simply lost the fight and then cried for help? Can you start a fight, lose and then shot someone in self defense?
Bottomline: It's clear Zimmerman shot him and lied about what exactly happened. I think he is guilty of manslaughter, but the prosecution blew the case. If the jury sticks to the law: the verdict will be NOT GUILTY (of second degree murder). If they use common sense, it will be GUILTY (of manslaughter).
Will there be riots?
If it's a NOT Guilty verdict on 2nd Degree Murder or Manslaughter, there will be NO RIOTS. A rally or protest, but no riot. I think the media is hyping this up to provoke a riot and they will fail.

Detroit Bankruptcy Imminent! 25 Shootings in 48 hours in anti-gun NYC!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
25 shootings in 48 hours in anti-gun NYC. Six people are dead. One guy shot an 11 year old girl (Tayloni Mazyck) and now she's paralyzed from the neck down. But hey, at least has plenty of gun laws forbiding law abiding citizens from carrying firearms. Now the city can be terrified by the low life scum. And who can forget the shootings in anti-gun Chicago over Memorial Day weekend. Criminals don't care about laws.
NYC Sees 25 Shootings and 6 Deaths in 48 Hours
11-year-old Brooklyn girl feared paralyzed by stray bullet moves arms in sign of hope
In Detroit, the Emergency Manager Kevin Orr maybe conceding to the fact that bankruptcy maybe unavoidable. He continues to desperately seek a solution to this financial mess. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Orr is organizing a meeting with creditors and unions in June to work out a deal to avoid bankruptcy.
Via The WSJ
"Kevyn Orr, appointed by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in March to take control of the long-struggling city, plans to use the meeting to present a detailed restructuring plan for Detroit's liabilities, which he says total about $17 billion...
Over the coming weeks, Mr. Orr is expected to ask the city's largest unions, pension funds, creditors and bondholders for concessions. It is unclear whether such moves could stave off bankruptcy - or pave the way for it by serving as a template for a court-supervised reorganization.
But with a declining population, shrinking tax revenue base, an already bare-bones police force and a startling high unemployment in Motor City, I don't see how they can avoid a bankruptcy.
Simply put, it's going to be the largest municipality bankruptcy in America history.

Ask DEMCAD: Young Prepper goes to College
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
A younger viewer asked me what he should do when he goes off to college.
"I'm heading college next year, and not sure how I will continue to prep while in college. I prep low scale now, once I'm out of college and get a real job im going to start prepping hardcore like you do. Should I bring my small BOB/Inch bag with me to college. maybe you could make a video about this."
Whatever you do, I would focus on water. Dehydration kills fast in a crisis. I would make sure I had plenty of water and more importantly, make sure I had a way of purifying water.
Make sure the backpack (bug out bag) is light weight. And don't buy something that sticks out. Go to garage and estate sales to find flashlights and ponchos or tools. But don't go overboard, keep the cost and weight as low as you can. You can build a first aid kit with items from dollar tree. You can buy alcohol swaps, burn creme ointment, hot packs, pads, gauzes and band aids for a dollar each. You may want to buy higher end gauze, but the rest of the stuff can be acquired for a buck. Good luck.
What I've Noticed About People
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
EMERGENCIES
When you warn people to prepare for a possible emergency most people ignore you. No matter how big the threat, people don't act until someone dies. And when a tragedy happens, people react. We Americans don't act, we react. New Orleans knew that their levee system was not up to par, but parades and parties were a higher priority than upgrading the levees. The so called state and city leaders didn't see the threat, so they didn't act. After Hurricane Katrina hit and left over a thousand dead, then the so called leaders reacted. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers failed the city with a weak design. The local and state governments failed the city.
Afterwards, they claim that they'll never let it happen again. Time passes and nothing gets done. The emotion dries up and something ever gets their attention.
MONEY
People always want to know what you do for a living, so they judge you by how much money you have. You could be the biggest asshole ever, but if you have money, people will treat you better. Even if you treat them worse.
Hell, whenever I've been in a new church (usually black), I've noticed that people are very friendly in the beginning. But after six months, they start to treat you according to your socio-economic status. If you came from a poor family, middle class folks with Cadillacs and Buicks looked down on the people who rode the church bus. I'm not saying all churches are like that, but in America, almost every one worships the all-mighty federal reserve notes some call dollars.
ASSHOLES
People who use the word “Bro” excessively are almost always assholes. They usually refer to you as bro just before they say something really offensive to you.
POLITICIANS
People who run for office are almost never trustworthy. They run with the same trite lines and the same tired rhetoric. "I'll FIGHT for you!" "HONESTY!" "INTEGRITY!"
Here's a word, "BULLSHIT!"
Politicians only look out for themselves. They don't give a damn about you. I almost think we should have a lottery instead of an election.
RATCHET FEMALES
Ratchet females will always get aggressive when they think a guy won’t hit them back.
SAGGING JEANS
Everywhere I go, I see a young black male sagging his jeans and showing his underwear. When will this idiotic trend die? How many times must I hear some young black male (sometimes white) walking down the street loudly butchering rap lyrics with his pants sagging?

ASK DEMCAD: Picking a Concealed Carry Pistol
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
My name is Reginald Kaigler and I have documented my journey as a prepper on my Youtube channel(DEMCAD. I acquired my CPL (Concealed Pistol License) in the state of Michigan in the year 2011 and I've been conceal carrying my Glock 21everyday since. And by everyday, I mean, absolutely everyday. When I leave my house, I carry my Glock. I don't carry if I'm just going to the car or mowing the lawn.
Comment from Pallyforyou (on Youtube)
Demcad, I am on a budget and I would like to get a pistol. The problem is that I know a full size pistol like a sig 226 or glock 17 is better for a shtf or home defense situation but I don't think I would carry it concealed very consistantly, So is it better to buy a small compact or subcompact like a keltec pf9 or kahr cm9, or just get a full size?
I would not recommend Keltec. I'm concerned about their consistency. I would consider a (Glock 19 Gen 3, not Gen 4 because I am concerned about the consistency of that generation). It's a compact 9mm with 15 rounds. It is extremely reliable. It will shoot just about anything style of ammo. I would also recommend you go to a shooting range that allows you to rent guns out. Try some full size guns, compacts and sub-compact pistols and see what you like. Consider the Smith ans Wesson M&P compact and Springfield XD series.
I know you have a budget, but this pistol has to be reliable. Your life may depend on it. I like to conduct a lot of research on the guns before I even enter the store. You can't rely on a salesman to give you proper information.
Here is my criteria.
Reliability
Service Record
Reasonable Accuracy
Ammo Availability
Magazine Availability
Parts Availability
If you can't find the ammo in stores, how can you practice with it on a regular basis? If you have to pay 60 dollars per magazine, how many magazines will you end up buying? If it jams every other time you go to the range, how do you know it won't jam when you need it the most?
I prefer pistols that have been proven in the field of law enforcement and military. I understand that you are on a budget, but I recommend that you save your money for a gun you can really trust. Put a pistol on layaway if you want. I recommend you try the guns out for yourself. Get a CPL in your state (if you can), research the laws and enjoy.

The American Recovery
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
We have nearly 50 million Americans on food stamps, but who cares? Welcome to the recovery.
The exact number of Americans collecting food stamps was a record 47,791,996 as of December 2012. That's 23,064,554 households.
Nearly 50 Million Americans on food stamps.
The story I have for you today is not only a painful sign of the times, but harbinger of things to come. When a Laney Supermarket closed down, so many desperate people showed up to get free food that the police almost had a riot on their hands. After enduring the mad rush, the police threw the food into the trash.
After the owners of the grocery store lost the property to the bank, they offered the food to a local church, but members didn't showed up. And that's when everything went south. Hundreds of people showed up to get the food. Apparently, the owners didn't care if the people grabbed the food. The police probably didn't care either, but the bank refused to release the food. Instead, it was taken to a landfill.
The people complained about the bank and frankly, I thought it was wasteful. But watching the news reporter interview the stereotypical, desperate, black, single, mom was unbearable. I know people are struggling (so am I), but having kids that you can't take care isn't going to make it better.
What happened at that grocery store was a snapshot of what's really going on in this country. The rich are the only ones experiencing a recovery. The middle class and poor are getting buried.
It's so sad to see what the country has become.

And the riots have begun...in Cyprus!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
And here we go? They're rioting outside of Parliament. People are terrified in Cyprus. Again, don't think this is just an isolated event. The cities in Cyprus aren't burning (yet), but this is very serious.
The system of debt, derivatives and fraud is collapsing. The problem I'm facing in attempting to awake people is that so many Americans don't want to see the truth.
This is the real reason why Homeland Security is buying billions of rounds of ammo. This is the real reason why they need tanks. They know what's coming. Are you prepared?

Iceland Rules
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do it?
Kaupthing chairman Sigurdur Einarsson and other executives at Kaupthing bank are being charged for manipulation conspiracies in Iceland. This is what we need to do in America? When an executive committs fraud, make him or her face the music.
Remember, when Congress insisted that we needed to bail out the bank or the sky would fall?
Well, Iceland told the bankers to screw off and they're doing better because of it.
Take note.

Unemployment
In the week ending March 16, the seasonally adjusted initial claims was 336,000. So we have less people on unemployment benefits. Are move people working or are people simply running out of benefits?
Unemployment benefits drop
Assault Weapon Ban Dies
Apparently, Vice President Joe "The Fire Your Shotgun Out Your Window" Biden is still pushing for this ridiculous assault rifle ban. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is letting it die in the Senate, but let me remind you that the antiguns will never stop fighting to enslave us.
Biden Not Giving Up On Assault Weapons Ban
Speaking of guns, Colorado has lost its mind. The governor signed a law banning magazines with a capacity greater than 15, while setting up a registration and special background check for private sales.

Nigel Farage: "Get your money out while you still can."
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
My favorite British political leader, Nigel Farage, appeared on RT and said what everyone was thinking.
"Do Not Invest In The Euro-Zone," he warns, "you have to be mad to do so... as it is now run by people who do not respect democracy, the rule of law, or the basic principles upon which Western civilization is based."
Farage is the leader of the UK Independence Party and his warning shouldn't be ignored.
"Get your money out while you still can."
So Cyprus has become the FIFTH eurozone country to need a bailout. The EU can't let any of these countries fall, because if they do, the entire system will collapse.
After the proposal to steal money out of bank accounts, what do you think people will do in Cyprus as soon as the banks open? What would you do?
BANK RUN!
I said it many times and I will say it again: These countries need to have an organized default. Why make things worse with a bailout.

Cyprus Disaster is Worse Than You Think!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
The Cyprus Bailout is the result of years and years of escalating attacks against taxpayers all across the world. This bailout is in reality a grand theft. The European Union is offering the island nation a supposed 13 billion euro bailout that will come at the cost of having bank accounts taxed 9.9%. Small accounts will be taxed 6.7%, while people with larger savings will lose at least 9.9% of your money. This is never happened before. And you can beg your bank account that it will happen again. I think this is a test run for something bigger.
This is why bailouts don't work.
1. Bailouts are essentially legalized theft. A transfer of wealth from one group (usually taxpayers) to a privilege group (usually bankers).
2. Bailouts prevent failed leaders and ideas from failing. This encourages the group to continue the behavior that led to failure in the first place.
3. Bailouts punish the successful companies and groups by stealing from them and destroying true competition.
So for all of you Americans who shrug your shoulders at this disaster, don't forget that TARP didn't solve any of your problems. it only made things worse.
Don't think it can't happen here.
Resistance in Cyprus Grows to Europe's Bailout Plan
Trader Jim Sinclair told King World News that the Cyprus disaster is much worse than what the media is presenting.
Sinclair:
“If people believe that $13 billion is the total of this bailout, they are out of their minds. $130 billion is not the true total of even the Russian deposits in Cyprus banks. One important Russian businessman, in his various business enterprises, would have $100 billion on deposit himself. 10% of all deposits in Cypress could be $500 billion or more because Cyprus is the banking entity for Russia, not Switzerland or Grand Cayman.If this is true, how in the hell can the Russians let the EU steal their money? This is going to get ugly.

If the SHTF, You Are On Your OWN!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Project Veritas has done it again. These are the same folks who showed up at the doorsteps of anti-gun journalists and officials with "This is an Gun Free Home" signs are back at it again. Obviously, none of the anti-gun fools accepted the sign, but in there latest video, they visit various police stations in anti-gun New Yoprk City to ask cops what they should do if someone breaks into their homes. The response was not only revealing, but laugh-out-loud entertaining. In a nutshell, the officers told Project Veritas (in front of hidden cameras) the exact same thing I've been telling people for years. If someone breaks into your house, you can call the police, but until they get there, you are on your own.
One cop suggested getting a gun permit, but when asked how long will it take? "One year," the officer revealed. One year for a New York resident to get a gun permit and in the meanwhile, if someone breaks into their home, they're screwed. Some cops in various parts of the country claimed it was 2 to 5 months.
Imagine, if the shit hit the fan and there was chaos in the streets: Do you honestly think the police would be there to rescue you in 5 minutes?
Let me state something that many people don't know.
The police have no constitutional duty to protect you.
Google Castle Rock v. Gonzales and Warren vs. D.C.
Both the U.S. Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court have ruled that you can not sue the police for failing to save your life.
So here's my question to you, many gun manufacturers are dealing with a new push for anti-gun laws in their respective states. Beretta in Maryland, Remington in New York and MagPul in Colorado.
At what point should companies and pro-second amendment citizens leave an anti-gun state?

Top FIVE Most Likely Ways You Will Die During SHTF
1. Dehydration & Malnutrition
The human body can't last three days without water. You can save yourself by storing water in containers, purchasing bottle water and acquiring a water filter that doesn't requires power.
2. Infection
Storing rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide could be the difference between life and death. You can keep wounds clean. And if you run out of antibiotics, you maybe able to prevent wounds from getting infected by covering them with sugar or honey.
3. Violence
Buy a gun and learn how to use it.
4. Poison
If you cook you food properly with a propane cook, you can avoid a lot of trouble.
5. Stupidity
Just because you have a gun, doesn't mean you can't get yourself killed by starting an unnecessary conflict with a neighbor.

Obama Drone Terror! U.S. Can't Pay off DEBT!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Face Reality: U.S. Can't Pay off DEBT
I recently interviewed financial and precious metals expert Dr. Lee Warren and a viewer commented that the doctor was incorrect in claiming that the federal debt could not be paid off. The viewer claimed that if taxes were increased by 5% across the board, the deficit could be solved in 10 years.
Well, let's take a closer look at that claim. The United States has been running huge deficits since 2000. Essentially, the federal government is spending more money than what it is collecting from tax dollars.
If the gov had 2.4 trillion in revenue and 3.7 trillion in spending in 2012, how is a 5% tax increase going to help?
First, you would have to assume that a tax increase would lead to a significant inflow of cash for the federal government. You would have to assume that the big increase in taxes would have no effect on business activity and would only encourage growth. Two assumptions that are not backed by any evidence.
But let's say that raising taxes somehow lead to a huge tax increase.
Let's assume revenue doubled to 4.8 and spending remained at 3.7 trillion. That's 1.1 trillion surplus every year. We have 16 trillion in debt, if we had 1.1 trillion surplus years for 10 years, we would still owe near 5 trillion dollars and that doesn't even include the medicare social security liabilities.
The real liabilities of the federal government are Social Security, Medicare, and federal employees' future retirement benefits, which already exceed $86.8 trillion, or 550% of GDP. That's 550% of the entire economy in one year. That's translates into five years of the total production and services of the entire economy just to pay off the debt.
What this means is that the entire system is insolvent and there is no way to save it. The sooner people face that reality, the easier it will be to start to prepare for the inevitable collapse.
Historical Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary
Cox and Archer: Why $16 Trillion Only Hints at the True U.S. Debt
Obama Drone Terror
So not only is the empire crumbling, the emperor has gone mad. The Obama White House recently declared that it was legal for the federal government to use drone strikes to kill American citizens as long as the government believed the target was an operational leader within Al-Qaida or a related group even if there was no evidence or intelligence of an active plot against America.
Essentially, the White House is ignoring Due Process and declaring that it can kill anyone.
The Numbers
Last weeks unemployment claims stood at 366,000, while Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased at a 2.0 in the fourth quarter. Remember, the commerce Department claims that GDP only dropped 0.1% in the fourth quarter. Expect a revised number, the economy is contracting.
BLS: PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
Guns
I told my viewers to consider buying a rifle before the election. Before there was a crisis and the guns flew off the shelves and become unaffordable. Unfortunately, the day has come for millions of Americans. AK pattern rifles that sold for 600 bucks is now at 900. If you didn't prepare by storing guns and ammo, I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully, things claim down as more supplies arrive, but you can't afford to abandon your other emergency preparations. Good luck.

Never Waste A Crisis: Obama's Exectuive Orders on Guns
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Never waste a crisis.
And that is exactly what Obama, the Democrats and the anti-Second Amendment crowd is doing. They have manufactured a crisis by making the shootings at Sandy hook and the Aurora Theater seem like a social epidemic. They insist that assault rifles are to blame. Naturally, they have ignored the inconsistencies in the cases, changing media narrative, contractions among officials and the elephant in the room.
The elephant being the fact that violent crime and homicides have dropped by almost 50% since 1990, while gun sales (of handguns and semi-auto rifles like the AR-15 that was allegedly used at Sandy Hook) have been soaring. America is selling more AKM, AR-15, pistols and other guns than ever before and the country is safer.
According to the FBI, more people are killing with knives than all of the rifles combined (that includes so called assault rifles like the semi-auto AR-15 and AKM). Actually, more people were killed with fist and legs than rifles.
So now we have the anti-gun people on the march to limit magazine capacities, ban importation of semi-auto rifles and slowly strip the Second Amendment to point where we have nothing but sling shots to protect ourselves from tyranny.
Many mainstream media talking heads and politicians are calling this the Post-Sandy Hook world. But in reality, nothing has changed. The establishment is as anti-gun as they were before the event. And the worst mass shooting always happen in so called gun free zones, areas that the law forbids citizens from carrying firearms. Consequently, the drugged out psychos choose these locations to murder innocent people.
So what can we do to fight this?
The NRA and other gun rights advocates are holding a nation wide rally at the State Capitol buildings on January 19th, 2013.
Frankly, I've been video blogging about Operation Fast and Furious since may 2011, warning people about this grave injustice and radical attempt to blame gun owners for assault rifle violence. In October 2009, Obama and Eric Holder's ATF started an operation to encourage gun dealers to sell AK rifles to Mexican criminals so they could track the weapons and use them to bring down the cartels. the problem is that the ATF didn't track the guns and they ended up at the murder scenes of over 150 people including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. But few in the youtube gun community showed any interest. most were interested in doing gun and gear reviews with absolutely no interest in spreading this information.
The gun community and the Tea party should have forced Romney out of the presidential reality show and marginalized Obama on this idea by making Fast and Furious a big issue, but they didn't and now we are in crisis mode.
Obama is working on a series of executive orders to target gun owners.
Here are some possible focus points led out by the Center For American Progress.
Require broader reporting of multiple sales of assault rifles
Begin the process of the FBI absorbing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives (because the ATF has lost all credibility after trying to frame gun owners with their disastrous Operation Fast and Furious.)
Congress could do the following.
Reregulate assault weapons
Ban high-capacity gun magazines

I hope January 19th, 2013 rally serves as a platform for a coordinated response to this latest attack on the Constitution, because I assure you that the anti-gun crowd will never waste a crisis.
