Citizens’ group calls DC residential gun search an exercise in ‘police state demagoguery’
Posted in Back Door Politics by R Lee Wrights on March 18th, 2008 by SAF staff
A plan to conduct “consent searches” for guns in District of Columbia residences is “an outrageous exercise of police state demagoguery,” the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
SAF founder Alan Gottlieb condemned the plan as “a public relations effort designed to influence, through crass dramatics, Tuesday’s scheduled oral arguments on the constitutionality of the District’s handgun ban before the Supreme Court.”
“Launching this effort,” he stated, “on the eve of Supreme Court arguments over the city’s horribly failed handgun ban underscores the Draconian mentality that lies at the root of gun laws like the District handgun ban. Arthur B. Spitzer with the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington, D.C. was right when he told the Washington Post that this ’sends a message to the public that the police ought to be able to search your house anytime for any reason’.”
Spitzer suggested that citizens will be intimidated into allowing police into their homes without warrant. He said it “cheapens civil liberties and privacy for everyone.” District resident Ronald Hampton, executive director of the National Black Police Association, told the newspaper that he would not allow his home to be searched.
“How dare Mayor Adrian Fenty and Police Chief Cathy Lanier launch this program within days of oral arguments challenging a 31-year-old extremist gun law that has already been declared unconstitutional by a federal court,” he continued. “District citizens, as well as members of Congress, should be furious.
“Calling this project the ‘Safe Homes Initiative’ is an insult to our intelligence,” Gottlieb stated. “If District residents allow this to happen, no home will be safe from warrantless fishing expeditions by police, because that’s exactly what this thinly-disguised program is really all about. We think Congress should step in immediately and stop this from happening.
“Isn’t it ironic that the District heads to the Supreme Court next week in an effort to destroy one-tenth of the Bill of Rights,” Gottlieb concluded, “while they prepare to launch the kind of police state exercise the Bill of Rights was designed to prevent.”

Tyrants will kill for Gun Control, but they will kill more after they get it!
———————————————————————–
Many countries have disarmed their people using many different excuses including public safety only to murder millions of them afterwards. Let’s take a look at some quotes from a few of them shall we:
“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has FULL GUN REGISTRATION! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!” by Hitler ,1935 (HITLER WHO WAS A SOCIALIST HIMSELF!)
How many innocent people did Hitler kill after disarming them first?
“Governments begins at the end of the gun barrel.” -Chairman Mao
How many innocent people did Moa kill after taking the guns away from his people?
“One man with a gun can control 100 without one. …Make mass searches and hold executions for found arms.” - V.I.Lenin
Do you think Lenin kept his people secure in the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics?
“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.” - Joseph Stalin
Do you think Russian had low murder rates from gun crime before Stalin started his massacres? How safe were those unarmed people?
“We are taking the law and bending it as far as we can to capture a whole new class of guns.” - Jose Carada, (White House official who specializes in gun control policy), The Los Angeles Times
Did you know that G. W. Bush’s family financially supported Hitler/Germany before during and after WW2? Do you think he cares about you or me?
“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans…” Bill Clinton (USA Today, 11 March 1993, page 2A)
Did you know Clinton and the G H W Bush ran drugs out of Arkansas where they killed some children who discovered what they were doing? Have you studied the Clinton Administration and the murders of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, etc. who got in his way. Maybe you should read the Georgia Guidestones article as well. Bill Clinton’s handlers have stated their plan to kill 90 % of the world’s population they call useless eaters. Does that include you and your family?
Now, do you think you would feel safer knowing you have trusted people like these with all of the arms? What will you do if they come to take you away with all of their guns to a prison camp after they disarmed you? Will you beg them to spare your life? Good luck selling that to them!
P.S. Don’t worry! They will probably just give you a mandatory poisonous flu shot in the end anyway. In this day and age, it will be much easier for them to do it that way. The brainwashed people will line up for the shots because the government told them it was mandatory. Just remember, an armed society is a polite society. If you read the book “More Guns Less Crime” you will see that the areas of the country with the least amount of Gun Control are actually safer than those with the most gun control. Think about it!
