"Nightwatch, what makes you think we have to start de-emphasizing crime arguments and emphasizing check-on-government arguments?" - Jeff

This morning the NYC council had a hearing on a number of gun control measures on the table. Measures that were DOA until the shooting death of councilman Davis.
Anytime a crime is committed in this country with a gun, the government will move to take our guns. That we know right? We can also bet everything we own on future tragedy.
Solong as we continue to engage the gungrabbers on issues of crimes committed with guns, and not a God given freedom that over 80 million live by, a freedom that we are willing to die for and not surrender, we will lose. The argument needs to turn towards the chaos that "We the people" have in store for government. We need to start talking about armed revolution.
I had a chance to speak to council members. The following was read:
My name is Ty Benabe. I was born in NYC. My parents first came here from the island of Puerto Rico sometime in the late forties.
I am the Webmaster for the NYC Alliance for the Second Amendment. A website that was born recently in response to the efforts by some members of this city council to legislate "insurance requirements" on gun owners, which has alarmed me. When I hear that this kind of reasoning is exists in my city council, I must wonder, when will this body of legislators succeed in turning me into a criminal?
Not only is gun control a failure, but by design it is meant to infringe, discriminate and disarm Americans, usually in the aftermath of a crime. Case in point: The shooting death of councilman Davis. A shooting that was initiated not for freedom. Not for the cause of liberty, but for reasons of selfish political ambition, by a politician. The shooter in this case was shot dead. He was the criminal. And I believe it is time for this city council to admit that gun control is not only limited in what it can do, but that it is the greatest untruth in the face of determination.
The argument of reducing the cost of crime by legislating" liability insurance" against the innocent is an unconstitutional logic that could be applied one day to the minority population, requiring "liability insurance" based on the color of our skin. Our prison system is overwhelmingly occupied by minorities. Are all people of color therefore suspect of criminal behavior? Or, are only those individuals guilty of committing crimes to be singled out? The answer I am sure is very clear to all. As well as the consequence.
The law of freedom. The law of this land is carved on my heart. I was created free. And no man, no court, no legislative body can tell me otherwise. It is my hope that this city council will set an example for all Americans, and halt any further persecutions against those who in faith, try to abide by law, but are faced with the prospect of resistance because of the abuse of law and disregard for Our sacred constitution.
In closing, I have yet to know the feeling of chains upon my wrists. And if given the choice between tyranny and slavery. I would gladly give my life to the cause of liberty. Give me liberty, or give me death. END.

Will they listen? Our will they violate my life? The outcome is up to them.
The issue of gun control leads to only one road. Banning Guns. If we dont draw a line in the sand, that will be their goal. It is.
People want to be free, they just dont want to die to preserve it.
