Blatant political messages, commentary, and opinions ahead – read on with caution!
We have been heading towards a very dangerous precipice for the past decade. Out debt is spiraling quickly out of control. 92 Million Americans are either underemployed or completely out of the workforce. Healthcare costs and premiums are SKYROCKETING with increases in some places of over 100% per year. Russia is recalling their citizens. ISIS is in 32 countries...
If you ask 100 people if they are better off today than they were eight years ago, the answer from the vast majority of them is a resounding NO!
Remember THIS???
The "affordable" care act has been proven to be not only Unaffordable, but absolutely devastating to the majority of the middle-class families' budgets. It has killed a great deal of the economy and has been a large source of stress and worry for the vast majority of Americans. We now know that the current administration that Hillary Clinton was a very large part of knew that this was not an affordable option, knew that people would not be able to keep their doctor, and also knew that people would not be able to keep their health plans – and flat out lied to the American people about it.
And that's just the beginning…
As people that hunt, fish, shoot, own firearms, and are generally to the "right" side of the equation, The next two weeks will determine not only our future and ability to continue to own those firearms, but the futures of our children and grandchildren.
For the first time in our history we have a choice of what is truly the "lesser" of two evils. For many folks, these two candidates were not their first choice- and like most people, they are tired of being lied to.
Also, for the first time in history, we have been made aware of massive frauds, deceptions, manipulations, and downright treasonous behavior from one of the two major candidate parties.
Thanks to CRIMINALS that hacked into the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's emails, we now know with certainty what many have suspected and hypothesized for a very long time – that it is truly "us" against "them" in the establishment politicians, political parties and machine- and the mainstream press is on their side!(CLICK HERE for an excellent summary of Hillary's REAL stance on guns- Thanks to Wikileaks.)
You have been lied to. The establishment has all been in this together on both sides of the aisle working against the "common" American to the enrichment of themselves and their cronies.
It is unprecedented.
Fortunately, there are those in Congress who stand for America rather than the elite ruling class.
We need to ensure that these people are able to continue their flight. We need to make sure that we take back control of the people that are supposed to serve us.
Weeks ago, I put out a challenge to everyone in the outdoor and firearm world to take a stand, make their opinions known, use their platforms for the betterment and good of our country. I don't know what kind of impact I had on it, but many did. Whether it was my prompting or their own, there is a wave of "rebellion" in the country today – and, quite frankly, people are tired of the "same old, same old."
Many of us are old enough to remember the "good times." One where high school kids worked behind the counter at McDonald's rather than people with MBAs.
We remember truly "affordable" healthcare but did not increase by 20, 30, 50, or even, in my new adopted home state of Arizona, 116% year over year.
I have a goal for the next two weeks that I would put out to each and every person that reads this article. Every gun owner in the country needs to go out and spend the next two weeks convincing just THREE people to put aside their differences, their misconceptions, and resentment as to what our two choices are and vote for Donald Trump for president.
There are over 80 million gun owners in this country. Imagine if we each try to convince just THREE and we're only successful in getting one or two – that's 160 million people – and that changes the entire dynamic of elections.
Donald Trump was not the first choice candidate for many people. I will admit, he was not mine. However, I feel at this time that we need to move forward with the candidate chosen and not "burn down the house to kill the mouse..." Because that's what voting for someone other than Trump is doing. Yes, you're making a "statement." Yes, it will show just how disappointed people are in the Republican candidate. It will also hand the White House to Bill and Hillary Clinton – the two most dishonest, corrupt career politicians that have ever been known in this country.
If you don't believe so, read on.
Here are 22 scandals and reasons why you CANNOT vote for Hillary if you believe in freedom, the right of the individual, and the right to own a firearm- with additional links and support provided.
1. Bill Clinton was the very first person to turn the IRS into a weapon to go after his political enemies.
2. The covering up of Bill Clinton's sexual assaults and abuses. Allegations of surfaced of people being hired to stalkk, intimidate, and scare people that accused Bill Clinton of sexual abuse and assault. We now know from other people that have come forward that this pattern of behavior was regular and continues still to this day. We also know that Bill Clinton was disbarred and had to pay an $850,000 judgement for his bad behavior.
3. The Clintons essentially looted the White House of furniture and artwork that they were forced to return. Twice.
4. The "file gate scandal" – the Clinton White House illegally obtained FBI files on their perceived political adversaries.
5. Hillary's closest adviser, Huma Abedin, has known ties to the Muslim brotherhood. As well as other Islamic supremacists. For 12 years she was the assistant editor for the journal of Muslim minority affairs for the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs- that is also deeply connected to the Muslim brotherhood.
6. The death of Vince Foster, the controversies surrounding his death, as well as the investigation that occurred there after. Also, as it has not come to light, the affair that Hillary Clinton had with Mr. Foster.
7. Hillary Clinton's email and server scandal, that we now know was intentional and that the destruction of the server and the emails was criminally executed AFTER subpoenas had been issued to Mrs. Clinton. We now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hillary Clinton not only had a private server, but lied about it to Congress, lied about it to the FBI, lied about it to the American people, and committed criminal acts in order to cover it up. Ironically, the only reason we know about any of this is through a criminal hacking of her private server and emails.
Think about how many people on both sides of the aisle are now involved in this cover-up. It has now also been demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt that the president, Barack Hussein Obama, not only knew about the private emails and server before he found out on the news, but lied to Congress and the American people about it.
8. Chinagate: many people forget this scandal, where the Clinton-Gore presidential campaign in 1996 took bribes from Chinese banks and their government to bankroll both the president and the Democratic Party is reelection efforts.
9. "Travel" Gate – the staff of the White House travel office was fired to make way for Clinton cronies. It was also alleged that Hillary had the FBI investigate the former head of the White House travel office, Billy Dale. They went so far as to have him charged with embezzlement, but he was found not guilty in 1995. He was also later suspiciously audited by the IRS. (Remember – things are rarely coincidental when dealing with the Clintons.)
10. "Whitewater"Gate.
This was a massive embezzlement and savings and loan scam where friends of the Clintons, James and Susan McDougal, went to jail for fraud as did the former Arkansas Governor Jim Tucker. The Clintons, ironically, remained untouched.
11. Hillary's lies about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia – the Internet is ablaze with all of the opposition to this blatant lie with video and audio proof displayed on hundreds of different websites. Yet, Hillary Clinton simply waves it off and says she "miss- spoke." (Just like she did when she said she did not delete any emails or wipe her server.)
12. The Clinton body count.
There is a rather large collection of names of people who have been associated with Clinton administration scandals who have died under mysterious and sometimes violent deaths. This is in addition to the 45 people who have gone to jail- many of them White House staff member or cabinet members.
13. Two of Hillary's "mentors – Saul Alinsky (A violence advocate and radical) and Robert Byrd-A former head of the KKK.
14. The audio and video tape of Hillary Clinton laughing after getting a child rapist off of his charges on a "technicality."
An entire book could be written on the improprieties and illegalities of this cash cow the Clintons have used to fund their lavish lifestyle. Let's not forget that the Clintons generously donated $1 million to "charity" this past year – to themselves. It has been shown that they have filed financial and tax forms that are both misleading and incomplete, not to mention the almost daily scandals that seem to arise from what is clearly a "pay to play" scheme where leaders of foreign countries (many of them from places that have deplorable human rights violations and behavior) paid large sums to the Clintons for speaking engagements, as well as huge donations to the Clinton foundation in exchange for access to certain high ranking and high-level political officials. When and how do you suppose these leaders are going to try and "cash" in on their investments?
16. The sale of US uranium stores to the Russians.
This is, quite frankly, treasonous behavior – transferring mineral rights to uranium, the main component used for the manufacturing of nuclear weapons, to one of the world superpowers that has become more and more "anti-American" in exchange for millions of dollars to the Clinton foundation and Clinton cronies.
17. Benghazi
There is no excuse for the criminal behavior and cover up that led to the death of four Americans including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Not only did the Clinton Department of State deny them the security they begged for, it has come to light that the entire mission was regarding illegal weapons that were being smuggled to rebels in Syria. Then, in order to not have an adverse affect on the imminent election, the administration created a lie about a "YouTube video" being the cause of the "violent protest"- even going so far as to ARREST an innocent man to complete the ruse...
18. Buying off of the media
96% of the mainstream media's donations go to Hillary Clinton. Thanks again to a "criminal act" of hacking, it has come to light that many prominent media persons were invited to "off the record" discussions and lavish parties where they were given promises and special favors in return for notification and approval of any stories that may be harmful to the Hillary Clinton machine- as well as leading and mis-leading stories and comments.
19. The promise to take away your guns, and to skew the Supreme Court to one that "better fits her opinion of the way the constitution should be implemented."
This is a big one for me and people like me.
Hillary Clinton is no friend to firearms owners. As a matter fact, she has gone on record to say that people do not have a right to keep and bear arms. She has gone on record to state that the framers of the Constitution did not mean every person has a right to defend themselves. She has also gone on record as being irate at the Heller decision – which guaranteed people in Washington DC the ability to defend themselves. She was in favor of the loading of your firearm in your own home being a FELONY in Washington D.C. No, Hillary Clinton is no friend of gun owners – which is why the National Rifle Association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and dozens of other organizations in the firearm and hunting world have specifically endorsed Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
20. The desire for "open borders" and the patriation of hundreds of thousands of unvetted immigrants and refugees from the largest sponsors of terrorism in the world.
21. The payment of demonstrators to cause and incite violence and riots at Trump rallies and campaigns –As well as falsely accuse Donald Trump and members of his campaign staff of crimes, assaults, and improper advances…
22. The collaboration with media outlets and pollsters to skew polls in an attempt to unfairly influence the election, despite proof to the contrary.
Meanwhile, we need to look at the Trump campaign and realize that Donald Trump does not need the office of president to gain wealth and fortune. (He actually said he will take NO SALARY from the office). He does not need the responsibility of the nation and American people. He could, literally, do NOTHING for the rest of his life and die a wealthy, happy man. Instead, he saw the opportunity to actually DO SOMETHING, which is one of the things I respect from him. He also built and leveraged a Multiple-Billion dollar enterprise that employs and benefits HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people all over the world with jobs, benefits, ancillary jobs (like the people that manufacture the windows for his buildings- or the tile- or that work in the plants that make the grass seed and fertilizer for his golf courses.) and, finally, he has made THIS PLEDGE with the citizens of this country:
DONALD J. TRUMP CONTRACT WITH THE AMERICAN VOTER
“Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following seven actions to protect American workers:
FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back
FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
1. Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
2. End The Offshoring Act Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
3. American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
4. School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
7. End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
10. Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
So, there you have it.
Two choices, America's Gun Owners.
Our Children's Children will bear the burden and the consequences of YOUR CHOICE. I choose freedom, I choose liberty, and I choose the candidate that pledges, in writing, to clean up the "Washington Swamp." What do you choose?

8 年Quite frankly, we find things like "Soldering", "Design", "Accounting" and "Cubicle Jockeying" rather BORING... But here's where MY business stands, and, exactly COUNTER to Paul's comment- "these comments" have done nothing but build my business for over a decade. I would not want someone's business that did not have similar beliefs. For those of you on this thread that don't comprehend that this IS our "BUSINESS", here are some numbers for you: $13.5 billion Annual revenue of gun and ammunition manufacturing industry, with a $1.5 billion profit. (IBIS World) $3.1 billion Annual revenue of gun and ammunition stores, with a $478.4 million profit. (IBIS World) 10,847,792 The number of pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns and miscellaneous firearms manufactured in the U.S. in 2013, the latest full year available. That's 4,441,726 pistols, 725,282 revolvers, 3,979,570 rifles, 1,203,072 shotguns, and 495,142 miscellaneous firearms. (ATF) 4% Percentage of the above guns which were exported. Of those 10.84 million guns, 10,413,880 stay in America. (ATF) 263,223 Number of full-time jobs related to the firearm industry, up from 209,750 in 2012. (NSSF) $42.9 billion Estimated overall economic impact of the firearms and ammo industry in the U.S. (NSSF) 20,968,273 Number of firearm background checks initiated in 2014. Because a background check is required before a gun is bought, this numbers gives insight into gun sale trends. However, just because a background check was initiated doesn't mean a gun was purchased. (FBI) (Now, multiply that by .86, and then multiply that number by an average purchase price of $487.00. Real Money.) 9,138,123 Number of firearm background checks in 1999. (FBI)

8 年HRC's own words on gun control, “We’ve got to go after this,” Clinton continued. “And here again (DC v Heller) the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment (Ruling the 2nd.A. is an Individual Right). And I am going to make that case every chance I get.” “I was proud when my husband took [the (‘pernicious, corrupting') National Rifle Association] on, and we were able to BAN assault weapons, but he had to put a sunset on so 10 years later. Of course [President George W.] Bush wouldn’t agree to reinstate them,” said Clinton. Her remarks at a fundraiser hosted at the Greenwich Village home of John Zaccaro, a convicted felon* (* What else?). Washington Free Beacon, October 1, 2015
