Do guns need to be controlled, or should forks, knives, and spoons, the time our kids and grand kids spend on cell phones, or playing violent videogames and watching gun infested violent Hollywood Movies?
Lack of control of any of the above will hasten a ‘slow’ death by either neglecting your health, Social ignorance, or the need for perceived violence brought on by the video games and Hollywood movies that created your psyche and the perception of your surroundings, and the reality of your world!
It’s not guns that keeps our kids from Socializing face to face, and understanding what personal interaction means when it comes to resolving conflicts not being something they’ve observed playing video games, or going to the movies.
It’s not guns that misinterpret a ‘Tweet,’ ‘misspeak,’ or meaning of an ‘Emoji,’ but the facts taught and registered on their ‘Blank Slate’ since birth by the ones that are closest, and the beliefs that they personally carry!
It’s not guns that force people to shovel in the fatty foods, sweets, and anything else that aren’t on the basic food group charts that I grew up with when I was young!
Controlling the message, and guns, is what Obama’s and Hillary’s mentor Saul Alinsky’s demands in his 8 steps to transform a state to Socialism, and if you don’t understand that, then check out the facts about this Alinsky connection, and the clandestine plot to undermine our Constitutional Republic so that you can make an educated decision when stepping behind that curtain to vote in the 2018 Midterms, which is in about 13 months!
The typical teenager logs more than 7 hours a day and more than 50 hours a week glued to a television, computer, or cell phone, research shows.
No doubt, screen time can be fun. The problem is that too much of it can take a toll on your health and your grades. Think about these five important facts.
1. You Risk Packing on Pounds
In one study, teens who spent the most time in front of a screen had the biggest increase in body fat over time. When you’re staring at the TV or computer, you’re using up the time that you could spend on something active — like riding your bike or taking a walk. And all those commercials for fast food don’t help your waistline, either.
Signs that technology is taking over your life:
•You miss parties and other events.
•You stay up late to catch a favorite show.
•You eat meals in front of the TV or computer.
•You go to bed with the television on.
2. Texting = Tiredness
It’s tough enough for most teens to hit the sack at a reasonable hour after homework, sports, and other activities. If you’re still texting after lights out, you’re probably robbing yourself of even more of the 8 to 10 hours of sleep you need.
Signs that you’re texting too much at night:
•You keep doing so after you’ve gone to bed.
•You stay awake waiting for another text.
•You wake up tired.
The Healthcare Costs of Obesity
Obesity is one of the biggest drivers of preventable chronic diseases and healthcare costs in the United States. Currently, estimates for these costs range from $147 billion to nearly $210 billion per year.
Adult Obesity in the United States
Adult obesity rates decreased in Kansas, increased in Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, and West Virginia, and remained stable in the rest of states between 2015 and 2016. This supports trends that show steadying levels in recent years, yet adult obesity rates now exceed 35 percent in five states and top 30 percent in 25 states. West Virginia has the highest adult obesity rate at 37.7 percent and Colorado has the lowest at 22.3 percent.
Obesity Rates by Age Group
In 2011-2014, middle-aged Americans (ages 40-59) had the highest obesity rate of any age group at 41.0 percent, followed by seniors (ages 60 and older) at 38.5 percent, and then young adults (ages 20-39) at 34.3 percent.
Food Insecure Children
More than 15 million U.S. children live in “food-insecure” households — having limited access to adequate food and nutrition due to cost, proximity and/or other resources.
Socioeconomics and Obesity
Individuals with lower income and/or education levels are disproportionately more likely to be obese. More than 33 percent of adults who earn less than $15,000 per year are obese, compared with 24.6 percent of those who earned at least $50,000 per year.
I am not a gun owner or ever plan to be one soon, and don’t plan to buy one for my personal safety, especially after Hillary lost in 2016, and the continuation of Obama’s policies through a Hillary victory were short circuited. How great is it 
to see Hillary’s welcome mat to Obama inspired unvetted illegal immigrant and refugee welcome mat picked up, and how safer did you feel when these Alinskyites globalist agenda was basically stopped, or should I say significantly slowed.
Owning a gun is not my thing, but that’s because I don’t hunt, I don’t target shoot, and wouldn’t feel comfortable with a gun in my house, but it doesn’t change my support for the rights of anyone who believes in the opposite, and wants to do so. You may not believe this, but unlike Barack ‘Insane’ Obama and crooked Hillary Clinton, I do believe and follow the Constitution and rule of law, and even though I’m not a big fan of guns, I will defend and protect the rights granted by the Constitution, and its 2nd Amendment!
Gun salesman-in-chief: 52,600 a day under Obama, more seen under Hillary
Gun sales are on a pace to break last year’s record of more than 23 million, a boon to the U.S. industry and gun stores thanks to election-year worries about gun control and recent terror attacks, according to government figures and experts.
Under Obama, background checks for guns reached 141.4 million through the end of May, amounting to sales of about 52,600 a day, according to the FBI. Last year, the FBI conducted more than 23 million background checks, which are generally used to figure sales of new and used weapons.
Domestically, manufacturers have reported producing about 21,000 guns a day, or more than 46 million in Obama’s first six years in office.
And should Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton continue to best Republican Donald Trump in the polls, sales could hit new highs, according to industry experts.
Joining men in buying guns have been women, youths and now members of the LGBT community, especially after the terrorist slaying of 49 at an Orlando, Fla., gay nightclub.
Justin Anderson, marketing director for Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, N.C., one of the nation’s biggest gun shops, said Obama has been great for sales.
“The surge in gun buying is based on two variables: fear of government intrusion on Second Amendment rights, and, more importantly, people interested in personal protection,” Anderson told Secrets.
“Our sales have doubled across the board, not just in AR-style rifles, but also in small frame handguns and home defense shotguns. We saw this just after the San Bernardino shooting, as well. More and more people are coming to realize that their personal safety is at risk and their government cannot protect them,” he said, adding:
“This is likely the beginning of a long rise in gun sales leading up the election. Should Hillary Clinton take a significant lead, it will only boost these sales.”
Concerns about gun laws may be what helped one-gun store sell 30,000 AR-15-style rifles in a week following the Orlando shooting.
Hyatt’s Anderson suggested that the record sales under Obama actually could be higher because of how background checks are done and by which authority. ~~ by Paul Bedard
AS GUN OWNERSHIP HITS RECORD HIGHS, THERE’S FEWER MURDERS THAN EVER
Gun ownership in the United States is hitting record highs, and over 100 million firearms have been sold during the Obama administration. But as Bob Owens over at Bearing Arms writes, (citing Timothy Carney) something else is hitting records, too: murder rates are at record lows.
This dramatic drop in per-capita murders to the lowest point ever recorded since the FBI began tabulating this data 55 years ago is a wonderful thing, especially as it continues to drop as more Americans own more guns that ever.
While the anti-gun left clings to the delusion that there fewer gun owners than ever based on junk polling data, we know in the real world that Americans have purchased more than 100 million firearms during Obama’s Presidency, that there are more concealed carriers than ever, and there more women, minorities, and youth involved in shooting than ever.
I think that the frustration caused by Obama’s Social agenda and policies has angered the American People and brought out the worst in human nature.
Funny, isn’t it?
So, what’s Obama’s ‘Deep State’ follower’s huge drive for ‘Gun Control’ all about?? If his transcripts from Columbia weren’t hidden, and people took the time to watch Dinesh d’ Souza’s “2016: OBAMA’S AMERICA” you might understand! He followed Saul Alinsky’s 8 points to Socialism and bring down society from the inside, and then went to Columbia. You see political science students at Columbia were taught a detailed plan designed by two former Columbia professors named Cloward & Piven to bring down “the system,” destroy capitalism, and turn America into a socialist state. We discussed it in class, wrote about it, and debated it outside class. It was our #1 topic for four years.
You have to wonder why the Media didn’t Vet this Presidential Candidate back in 2008, and again in 2012??
THE NEW MCCARTHYISM, GUN CONTROL??
You have to know that the Progressive Left, like they have done in the past, are telegraphing their next distraction, and with a little more than a year to go before the midterms, you know they have their foot on the pedal. Do you remember ISIS is Contained, they’re a JV Team, and how about “That’s not who America is” when it comes to vetting illegal immigrants and refugees who aren’t necessarily coming to America to break bread and adjust their rule of law to encompass our rule of law?
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg, and if you throw in the IRS harassing conservative tax exempt wanabe organizations, the EPA regulations that are forcing our companies to outsource our innovation and technical advancements to other countries, and understanding that Socialist globalization is about spreading America’s wealth and capital to other not so fortunate countries, and taking it from those countries, like America, the grand prize, who have, compared to those countries that don’t!
Diverting America’s assets to fund the greater good of the countries who surrendered their sovereignty is the Global Socialist game being played. The intent and goal of the pillaging new world order is to fund and support these countries by using the funds and assets of a countries wealthiest corporate job creators and wealthiest citizens, like in Venezuela, to buy and control the ‘will’ of these countries people!
Did you forget about the border patrol that was told not to enforce the Immigration Laws, and Holder carrying out Obama’s Illegal and Unconstitutional orders by approving the gun running ‘Fast and furious’ to the Cartel that resulted in the death of one of our fine members of the Border Patrol because one of those traced guns was traced back, and the gun that caused the death of that agent?
I thought that If the GOP didn’t do anything to stop Obama he was going to continue on with his agenda of the transformation of America, and if they didn’t stop him we would all know, which we all do now, that they’re working together! like they did when the budget was passed, and Boehner/Ryan gave Obama everything he needed and wanted, to undermine America and its exceptionalism!
These exposed RINO’s said that they caved to Obama’s demands because Obama’s Administration lifted the imposed trade sanctions on the ability of America to export our oil, but are any of us actually believing that?
The American people are considered by the Liberal Left to be not only deplorable and irredeemable, but also must not have been in line when the brains were handed out! The gun ownership issue is waking up the American people, which is making them go out and purchase guns before Obamaism like McCarthyism, starts accusing Americans for being disloyal to the Left’s perceived version of the moral high ground, just like McCarthyism accused people of being communists back in the good old days of the 1950’s.
Is Obamaism because of the massacre in Las Vegas now the new McCarthyism? Are legal gun owners now going to be added, Like Country Western Fans, to Hillary’s overflowing ‘basket of deplorables, along with any opposition Party member who don’t believe in the Liberal left’s attempt to regulate the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and don’t believe in gun control.
Death by “Gun Control”
Why must all decent non-violent people fight against “gun control”? Why is the right to keep and bear arms truly a fundamental individual right?
People frequently ask why we are so dedicated to our cause?
People have asked us to present the whole JPFO argument in one place. We have done it. Available now in an easy-reading format and a handy size, the new book is entitled:
‘Death by Gun Control: The Human Cost of Victim Disarmament.’
The message is simple: Disarmed people are neither free nor safe – they become the criminals’ prey and the tyrants’ playthings. When the civilians are defenseless and their government goes bad, however, thousands and millions of innocents die.
Professor R.J. Rummel, author of the monumental book Death by Government, said:
“Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth.” For power to concentrate and become dangerous, the citizens must be disarmed.
What disarms the citizens? The idea of “gun control.”
It’s the idea that only the government has the right to possess firearms, and that citizens have no unalienable right to use force to defend against aggression.
Death by Gun Control carefully examines the “gun control” idea: its meaning, its purposes, its effects. It comes in many forms, but in every form, it enables the evildoers and works against righteous defense.
When the gun prohibitionists quote a statistic about how many people are killed by firearms misuse, the discussion sometimes bogs down into whose crime stats to believe and how to count crimes vs. the defensive firearm uses. Death by Gun Control works on a level that nobody can dispute: documented world history.
In the 20th Century:
◾Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined.
◾Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals.
How could governments kill so many people? The governments had the power – and the people, the victims, were unable to resist. The victims were unarmed.
Truth They Cannot Refute
Death by Gun Control delivers the essential – and gut wrenching — truth that the anti-self-defense “gun control” advocates never try to refute. They simply cannot refute the facts or the formula.
Here’s the Formula: Hatred + Government + Disarmed Civilians = Genocide
What makes the argument so powerful? Two factors:
First, it makes common sense: unarmed defenseless people have no hope against armed aggressors.
Second, it states the historical truth: evil governments did wipe out 170,000,000 innocent non-military lives in the 20th Century alone.
Using the facts in Death by Gun Control, you can take down the enemies of the Bill of Rights. The rights-destroyers have no answers to these facts. They have no excuses for their killer ideas.
JPFO’s work has already borne fruit. John R. Bolton, an under-Secretary of State for the United States, this year urged the United Nations to recognize how an “oppressed non-state group defending itself from a genocidal government” will need ready access to firearms. Mr. Bolton might have been the first U.S. official in modern history to have argued to the UN that private citizens might need to be armed against their own killer governments.
Paul Harvey, the world-renowned and much-admired radio commentator, last year reportedly broadcast the JPFO-produced facts linking “gun control” to the genocide of millions of unarmed civilians. Country by country, Mr. Harvey counted the murdered victims of civilian disarmament policies.
