Texas A&M Law Professor Wants the 2nd Amendment REPEALED

Texas A&M University is a great school to go to, especially for conservatives. There are all kinds of conservative groups and it is consistently ranked as one of the most conservative Universities in America based on the large percentage of self identified conservatives in the student body population.

Just because Texas A&M is conservative does not mean that Texas A&M does not have some liberal nutjobs though. I remember there being some crazy left wing professors at Texas A&M when I went there.

We can add one more crazy liberal professor to the list.

Apparently, one of the law school professors wants to repeal the 2nd Amendment!

from Red Alert Politics:

A professor at a Texas law school believes she has the solution to gun violence, one that includes the complete repeal and replacement of the Second Amendment.
Texas A&M law professor Mary Margaret Penrose spoke on panel discussing gun control and the Second Amendment during a day-long symposium at the University of Connecticut’s School of Law. During the panel, the professor asked the audience — full of law students and attorneys — if they felt legislation to prevent gun tragedies was successful. As the room remained silent, Penrose then suggested it was time for some controversial changes to be made to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Rep. Steve Stockman: ‘The right to keep and bear arms is granted by God’

The following article is from the Houston Chronicle's Texas on the Potomac:

Texas congressman Steve Stockman is about as strong a supporter of gun rights as there is.
He believes that the right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Bill of Rights. But he believes that gun rights run far deeper than the U.S. Constitution.
“The right to keep and bear arms is granted by God and protecting from government aggression by the Constitution,” he said today in explaining his opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. “It is not subject to the whims of global totalitarians massed in New York City.”
Stockman, a Republican from Friendswood, was one of 17 Texas Republicans to sign a letter to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry demanding they not sign the U.N. treaty. Another 113 lawmakers joined the conservative Texans.
The Texas congressman said the treaty “requires nations that sign on to it to record and track all guns and gun owners in their country, and submit the list to the ‘international secretariat.’ It would also require signing nations to ban many common types of hunting rifles.”
“I oppose any U.N. treaty touching the right to keep and bear arms,” Stockman said. “It’s beyond time for the United States to withdraw from the U.N.”
Here’s the letter and the complete list of signatories:

Bat-Wielding Texas Robber Dies After Shotgun Blast to Chest

from Breitbart.com: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/25/Bat-wielding-Texas-robber

Nothing argues for gun rights quite like a man breaking into your house with a baseball bat. In Midland, Texas, a would-be robber attempted to break into a neighbor’s home. Samuel Pompa, 32, was wielding a baseball bat. His would-be victim, 19, had a shotgun.



Pompa lost. He received a shotgun wound to the  chest and died at Midland Memorial Hospital. No doubt Piers Morgan and company will cite Pompa as just another sad statistic in the American tradition of gun violence.

Lumberton, TX Woman with Gun Shoots Robber/Rapist Terrorizing Lumberton Residents

A woman in Lumberton, TX shot and stopped a robber this morning before sunrise. This was not just Around 3AM this morning, this group of armed robbers sexually assaulted and robbed at gun point a woman in Lumberton. After the robbery and sexual assault this morning (at the corner of Raider Lane and Village Creek Parkway near the middle and primary schools), the group of 3 black males from Beaumont tried to attack another woman at her home on Dennis Drive in Lumberton. This time though, the woman was exercising her 2nd Amendment rights and she pulled out her handgun and shot one of the criminals. All three men were quickly apprehended soon after by the Lumberton Police Department. The man shot, Scott Allen Wills Jr, is still in the hospital but is expected to recover. As I write the article, the Hardin County Jail says they have not booked the other two men, Malik Washington and Ariel Malveaux, so they are still in the custody of the Lumberton Police Department.
any robber. This robber was part of a group of men who had gone on a crime spree over the past 2 weeks in Beaumont's West End and now in Lumberton.

This attack is just another example that proves the importance of having a Constitutional right to bear arms. The quiet community of Lumberton was also shown this morning that we are not as safe and quiet as we used to be anymore. There are some in Lumberton who want the city to grow into a bigger city instead of just a bedroom community so that we can bring more money into the city. Well, with the growth and desire for more money, we can expect to see an increase in crime as well. It is funny how people will move out of a bigger city to get away from problems but then they turn around and want all the amenities a big city has to offer, and next thing you know, they the problems we moved away from have been brought right into out backyard.

So what happened this morning in Lumberton? I found out about this shocking series of events from Kel Lindsey who posted the following message on his Facebook wall:

"This mourning in my own back yard, two black males robbed and sexually assaulted my sister in law. They held her at gun point and demanded money from her, they made her drive them to a store and take money from an ATM. By the grace of God they brought her back alive and they fled on foot. These two pieces of shit then proceeded to rob another house in our neighbor hood and were met with a joyous sound of a gun being brought to bare. As this human less pile of shit lays clinging to life, I hope one more good person will now arm themselves against this violent and corrupt society so that scum will know that they cannot get away with this shit anymore. Good people with guns stop bad people with guns. amen."

I contacted Kel to confirm the details. As you can see from the Facebook post above, Kel is a big supporter of gun rights and was glad that at least one of them was stopped by a woman exercising her right to bear arms.

Ted Cruz Defends Gun Rights, says New Gun Control Proposals Are "Unconstitutional"

In an interview with FoxNews, the conservative United States Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, has called the proposed gun control measures "Unconstitutional."

Cruz said he believes politicians have jumped to exploit the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. to push their own agendas and said he believes the current gun control proposals –including Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein's bill to create a national gun registry– are unconstitutional.

"I don't think the federal government has any business of having a list of law-abiding citizens who choose to their right to keep and bear arms," he said.

The 42-year-old senator suggested improving the federal database to help background checks to better indicate possible mental health of a potential buyer.

Texas A.G. Abbott: I’ll Go to Court to Block Any Gun Ban - Mexico Gun Ban Increases Crime

One of the best statements from Abbot regarding this issue was, "Guns are banned in Juarez, guns are legal in El Paso,” he said. “But El Paso is far safer than Juarez.”

He is right. Those two cities are right beside each other but on the Mexico side guns are not legal and so all the bad guys can kill and victimize all they want because they have guns but law abiding citizens do not have guns to protect themselves.

Even Mexicans are crying out for the Mexican government to allow law abiding citizens the ability to have a gun to protect themselves.

from the Dallas Morning News:

Brothers in tiny Mexican town push for changes to nation’s strict gun-control laws

The LeBaron brothers, Alex and Max, walked outside their sprawling ranch surrounded by chile fields and pointed to the spot where they traded fire with gunmen who pinned them down for what seemed like hours until both sides reached a truce.

“Had we not been able to defend ourselves that afternoon with our own weapons, I don’t know that we’d be standing here today,” said Alex LeBaron, a state legislator who is leading a campaign to allow residents to arm themselves.

“Without our guns, we stood no chance,” added Max. “We would have been like sitting ducks at target practice.”

Mexico has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the world, but an overwhelming arsenal of illegal guns is readily available to drug cartels battling federal forces and rival criminal groups. The drug war has left more than 60,000 people dead and 25,000 missing since then-President Felipe Calderón sent federal troops to reclaim territories from drug traffickers shortly after taking office in 2006. Few communities have been harder hit than this region, home to chile, apple and pecan growers and cheese makers — and a smuggling route, coveted by traffickers, that leads into the United States through Texas.

“We don’t have a problem with jackrabbits,” Max said. “We have a problem with sicarios — hitmen. People show up here in fake police, soldier uniforms. You shoot first and then ask questions.

“The right to bear arms is the best thing Americans have going for them,” said cousin Brent LeBaron Jr. “And here in Mexico, we have high hopes that we too can someday defend ourselves from traffickers armed to the teeth.”


Statements from Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott from 1200 WOAI News:

Congress may be ramping up to consider gun restrictions in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting, but Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott says the proposals being discussed now are unconstitutional, and he says he will ask the courts to throw them out if they are approved, 1200 WOAI news reports.

“I’ve been to the Supreme Court twice,” Abbott said in an interview with 1200 WOAI’s Joe Pags. “I can tell you that these laws that try to restrict our gun rights violate the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms. The U.S. Supreme Court has spoken on this issue twice.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) has already indicated that she will try to ban the ownership of so-called ‘assault weapons.’ U.S. Rep Carolyn McCarthy (D-New York) is proposing bill to ban high capacity magazines. President Obama has indicated that he plans to fast track a gun restriction, even though the White House hasn’t said what proposal it will support.

Abbott says whatever is passed will be a waste of taxpayers time and money, because it won’t pass Constitutional challenges, and he says gun restrictions are ‘illogical,’ pointing to the twin cities of El Paso Texas and Juarez Mexico.

“Guns are banned in Juarez, guns are legal in El Paso,” he said. “But El Paso is far safer than Juarez.”
He says there has not been any effort ever to restrict gun ownership in the United States which has resulted in a reduction in street violence. In fact, he pointed to Chicago and New York City, both of which have among the country’s most restrictive local gun regulations, as examples.

“Two places that are two of the most dangerous cities in the United States are two places which have tried to place serious restrictions on guns, to no effect, to no consequence,” he said. “It is clear that gun restrictions are not successful.”

Abbott said the logic behind anti-gun measure escapes him.

“For something like the past eight or nine years, there have been more people killed by clubs and hammers than there have been by rifles,” he said.

Texas Man Uses Gun to Save Family from Home Invader with a Knife - Gun Rights Work Bob Costas

Silly Bob Costas, trying to tell people on Sunday Night Football that the football player who recently shot himself and his girlfriend would still be alive if there were no guns.... WRONG! He would have just slit his throat and his girlfriend's throat with a knife.... When people want to kill they will kill using whatever means they can.

Plus, if the girlfriend or mother would have had a gone, they could have stopped the players killing spree before he took the life of his innocent girlfriend!

Oh, but I can tell you this Bob Costas, this husband very likely would not have been able to save his family from this home intruder if the husband did not have a gun to protect his home with....


the following article is from KBMT Channel 12 News Beaumont, TX:

Home invader with knife stopped by homeowner with gun

Posted: Dec 02, 2012 8:28 AM CST Updated: Dec 02, 2012 8:38 AM CST



Nederland, TX police say a homeowner with a gun was able to stop an intruder who was armed with a knife late Saturday evening.

No one was injured in the home invasion.

Black Mob Beats White Couple, Media Buries Attack - 911 No Answer

This story has three important issues: Media Bias, Importance of Guns for Self Defense, and black violence.

One issue is the media bias in America. A black, racially charged mob attacks and beats a white couple and it does not even make the back page of the paper. The media only cares about stuff like this when they can sensationalize some sort of racism that they think white people have against blacks. When it is the other way around, the media is nowhere to be found.

The second issue is that the woman who was attacked tried to call 911 but got a busy signal TWICE. She finally made is through to the police. This is EXACTLY one of the reasons why we have a right to bear arms in America. The police are not there to help you the second you need it. You might not even be able to call them or they might be several minutes away. A gun gives you the ability to protect your own life when you need the protection instead of having to wait and hope you are not killed before the police get there.

The third issue is black violence. All races have bad guys and who commit crimes, but it is a fact that there is a serious problem of violence in black comunities. Blacks don't have to worry about any racist white people because they are already killing themselves at an alarming rate! This is something that these civil rights leaders like Al Sharpton, Jessee Jackson and New Black Panthers need to address. Instead of calling people to violence because of some made up racism in the Trayvon Martin shooting, how about you call for an end to the alarming amount of violence and killings within black communities?


below is the story from WND:

There’s outrage in Norfolk, Va., today after a white couple was attacked by dozens of black teenagers, and the local newspaper did not report on the incident for two weeks, despite the victims being reporters for the paper.

Even today, the Virginian-Pilot did not cover the crime as news, but rather as an opinion piece by columnist Michelle Washington.

“Wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim,” Washington wrote, describing the onslaught that began when Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami stopped at a traffic light while driving home from a show on a Saturday night. A crowd of at least 100 black young people was on the sidewalk at the time.

“Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that’s when the beating began. …

“The victim’s friend, a young woman, tried to pull him back into his car. Attackers came after her, pulling her hair, punching her head and causing a bloody scratch to the surface of her eye. She called 911. A recording told her all lines were busy. She called again. Busy. On her third try, she got through and, hysterical, could scream only their location. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. It happened four blocks from where they work, here at the Virginian-Pilot.”

Washington says neither suffered grave injuries, but both were out of work for a week. Forster’s torso ached from blows to his ribs, and he retained a thumb-sized bump on his head. Rostami reportedly fears to be alone in her home, while Forster wishes he’d stayed in the car.

The columnist admits the story has not, until today, appeared in the Virginian-Pilot.

“The responding officer coded the incident as a simple assault, despite their assertions that at least 30 people had participated in the attack,” Washington explains. “A reporter making routine checks of police reports would see ‘simple assault’ and, if the names were unfamiliar, would be unlikely to write about it. In this case, editors hesitated to assign a story about their own employees. Would it seem like the paper treated its employees differently from other crime victims?”

Washington says the day after the beatings, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack, and one post in particular chilled him.

“I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,” wrote one person.

“I don’t,” wrote another, indicating laughter. “(do it for trayvon martin)”

Trayvon Martin is the unarmed black teen who died after being shot by a community-watch captain with white and Hispanic parents, George Zimmerman, in Sanford, Fla., sparking a wave of outrage long after the incident.

The newspaper is coming under heavy criticism today from residents in the greater Norfolk area, known as Hampton Roads.
