Preparing for Mumbai – In America

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

By Gabe Suarez

There has been a great deal of discussion about what to carry for an event like Mumbai. Gents, let’s think about this. If you happen to be caught up in this at its conclusion, facing a dozen riflemen working together as a unit, and you with your Kel-Tec, what do you think your realistic chances of success are? Being real is not being defeatist, but come on.

Now, at the outset of the event, where there may be only one or two adversaries, it gets a little better in terms of odds. But only a little. You have one advantage and that is the advantage of surprise and one target. They, on the other hand have many avenues of danger to cover, only one which is yours. This will be a rapidly moving fluid situation.

One man was saying that using a cell phone to photograph the bad guys would be good. Pictures of the bad guys on your cell phone? Come on….seriously? If you have the ability to take their picture, you also have the ability to take their life, or GTFOT (get the f*** out of there) so get out of the evidence collecting mindset.

Obamanation: The Shades of 1992 return to haunt us

It is not often a man gets to relive parts of his youth, more than a fifteen years after the first event, but in the aftermath of the November elections I am seeing something I experienced when I was 29 years old.

Most men would be delighted to be reminded of their younger days, but to be honest I am very saddened by this. What is this phenomenon I am reliving? Long lines and panic buying at gun-shows.

Pro-Gun Buckeye State conservative Ken Blackwell wants to chair Republican National Committee

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, a good friend to Buckeye Firearms Association and to Ohio gun owners, has officially declared his candidacy for the chairman’s post at the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Blackwell, a former endorsee of this political action committee who sits on the NRA Board of Directors, has sent a letter to RNC members seeking their vote.

According to The Hannah Report, Blackwell’s letter, posted on his website at www.blackwell2009.com, calls for a remaking of the Republican Party “by returning to our core philosophy (limited government, traditional values and a strong defense), reaching voters more
effectively (by better utilization of technology, targeting and voter identification, and turnout), and reorganizing the RNC
itself (spending smarter, replacing staff and consultants, and modernizing our fundraising infrastructure).”

On Mumbai – What We Know So Far

In 2001 the USA had the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It has become vogue to call it the 9/11 Tragedy, as if it was a hurricane or an earthquake, but it was not. It was an act done by men, evil men. A few years later, both Spain and England faced similar events. And now India. I am not so schooled in geo-politics to try to draw strategic significance here. All I can do is to draw operational similarities in the hope of understanding my enemy better and thus be able to defeat him. Similarly, to be able to teach my students to defeat him.

Here is what we know thus far –

BILL OF RIGHTS DAY – December 15th, 2008

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

By Rick Jones and Larry Moore

As the old saying goes, “if you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any”.

In today’s society of hustle and bustle one really doesn’t take the time to really think about what their rights are. We take these rights for granted. Just about everyone knows what the First Amendment to the Constitution is, freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and freedom to petition the government, the Second is the right to bear arms and the Fifth Amendment is the right to trial by jury, double jeopardy, self-incrimination and due process of the law.

There is a bumper sticker that says, “If you can read this, thank a teacher”. Well, if you didn’t know the date of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, blame the National Education Association (NEA).

The Second Amendment Book Bomb on Bill of Rights Day, December 15!

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

Monday, December 15, marks America’s Bill of Rights Day, the anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. To commemorate this event, the Second Amendment Book Bomb website has been created, a unique and powerful way to communicate the importance of the Bill of Rights’ Second Amendment for the protection of liberty. With your help, we can launch constitutional rights to the top of national book bestseller lists, making a loud and clear statement that Second Amendment rights are inalienable!

The Second Amendment has already won a historic victory on June 26, 2008, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own and bear arms. However, the Heller ruling was immediately attacked and efforts continue on the national level and across the country to undermine gun rights. Therefore, to secure the Second Amendment now and for the future, the American public must be made aware of the reasons why the Founders sought to protect this right.

And now we have the tool to do so. Fascinating, seminal, and inspiring, the new book, The Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms, by Dr. Stephen P. Halbrook*, is the perfect way both to educate ourselves and to reach friends and family who don’t yet understand Second Amendment rights. Our goal is to reach one million Americans with Dr. Halbrook’s book during the Holiday Season and throughout the New Year ahead. Will you help?
