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.

Water is the Most Important Aspect of Prepping

By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)

The moist air is thick and heavy. The city's asphalt streets sizzle. Another scorching hot day in Flint, Michigan. But this heat wave is just the beginning of 2012's second temperature surge. The first heat wave knocked out power systems across the Eastern U.S. and left thousands of temperature records along the waist-side. This summer has been one for the record books. But it has also awaken my core survival instincts. For the first time in my journey as a prepper, I realized that my priorities were not correctly aligned. For too long, I have endulged my fascination with firearms to the point that I have failed to see what represents the greatest threat in a crisis situation: dehydration.

In all likelihood, I will die of dehydration before I am forced into a gun fire. And since I already have six guns, how can I justify buying another one when my water preparation is so weak.

Although, I have 6 five gallon containers filled with tap water, four cases of bottled water, a Katadyn Water filter and several packs of purifying tablets, an honest assessment of my supplies would force me to conclude that this would not be enough for a family of three to survive on for very long. This summer of unbearable  heat has forced me to re-examine how prepared I really am for a situation were I would have to produce my own clean water.

Let's keep in mind that many modern water systems rely on electric pumps to force water to millions of homes. If the electrical system is compromised, then millions of Americans may find themselves in a situation were they will have to boil, purify or filter their own water.

So I've decided to take action. A friend on youtube suggested I build a sand bio filter to remove germs from the water in the nearby creek. The concept is brillantly simple. You use fine sand in a 55 gallon barrel to filter viruses and harmfully substances from the water. But the top level of water serves as a natural bio system by using good bacteria to destroy bad bacteria.

It's a good idea, but it's not for me. Filling a 55 gallon barrel would be problematic for an urbanite such as myself, because it would be very difficult to move. So I've decided to invest in a Berkey Water system. It's light weight and it uses a carbon filter to remove virtually any harmful biological organism. I've also decided get some water containers that are not clear. The idea is to protect the water from the effects of sunlight. I'm also going to expand into trapping rainwater.

There's nothing wrong with owning a lot of guns, but if you don't have any water, your body will break down very fast. Water makes almost everything easier. You need water. I need water and more of it. In an emergency situation, I will need water to cook food, washing my body, stay hydrated, prevent infection and possibly keep someone's body temperature down. So I'll still buy another pistol this year, but not before I make sure I can filter hundreds of gallons of water.
