Native Americans?

           How do we determine who were the first people to inhabit North America? How do we determine the rightful owners of the lands? The following is the generalized conception, accepted by many people.

 

      

          Most people today will tell you that the white man came to this country and stole the land from the "native Americans". What I hope to examine here is the truth, or fallacy of that position.

WHO, AND WHEN, DID PEOPLE COME TO THE AREA OF THE UNITED STATES?

(Dates listed, prior to the Biblical Creation in Genesis account, cannot be trusted as accurate.)

BC 30,044 the Japanese to South America

BC 22,000 there is evidence that Europeans, using the polar ice front, came to the Americas - known as Solitarians

 [1]

 Some time later the Paleo Indians ( from Siberia) came across the Bearing Straits.

 [2]

 Some time later they came together as they spread across the country. The combined peoples are called the Clovis people.

 [3]

BC 700 Israeli's to eastern America all the way into the south west. There is DNA evidence of blood mixing with the Cherokee. DNA testing has proved the Cherokee did not come across the Bearing Sea, but rather some European areas.

BC 600 Israel to Central America

BC 500 - AD 800  the Celts used the Arkansas River to travel from the Gulf of Mexico to the Tulsa area of Oklahoma

AD 455 the Chinese, America's west coast

AD 530 the Irish to Groton, Conn.

AD 1000  the Polynesians. to South America and Santa Barbara ,CA area

AD 1000 the Norse (Vikings) from Scandinavia to Newfoundland, Canada

and Booklin, Maine

AD 1150  the Welch - Mobile, Alabama - may have had contact with the Cherokee, and the Mandan, in the Ohio river valley. The Mandan tribe were referred to as bearded white people due to the combined bloodlines of the Welsh explorers and the indigenous people, supposedly happening with a pre-Columbian voyage by the Welsh.  Some researchers say that this Welch voyage is myth.

AD 1162  Vikings to Minnesota

AD1421 the Chinese, America's east coast

AD 1492 Columbus to the Bahamas, the beginning of the Spanish  move into the America's

AD 1500's French colonization of the Americas began in the 16th century

AD 1620  The Mayflower brought the Puritans from Europe, followed by the Pilgrims, and this was the true beginning of what turned out to be the United States of America.

AD 1972 I bought my first house in Maryland, followed by My second house (sold the first) in Ohio, and my third house (sold the second) in Ohio, and my forth house (sold the third) in Florida. I have, for some time, known that I did not actually own my houses. The government can tax them away, the government can take them by eminent domain, the bank can take them for non payment and an enemy can kill you and take them.

America before colonization

 [4]

I have included two of the old maps as it is to hard to distinguish which is accurate.

 [5]

Map of North America (1750) - France (blue), Britain (pink), and Spain (orange)

 [6]

          In 1600  the English controlled most of the east coast. West of the Mississippi was owned by the French. The Spanish owned Florida. The Spanish and French acquired most of Mexico and Western United states.  1803 Jefferson bought the Louisiana purchase.

          Since we know that all mankind originated in the Garden of Eden, where God created it, we know that all life on earth migrated from that point. As far as I can determine, all DNA studies verify this fact.

          Since we know that Elohim created the heavens and the earth, we know that the ownership of it all is His. The 66 books He gave us only describe one area where He officially assigned ownership, of a particular area of land to a specific group of people, was the original land mass described as given to Abraham, the Hebrew, and his descendents who became Israel, FOREVER.

          Based upon the information provided above, showing without dispute, that there is no such thing as a "Native American". Everyone who ever resided in what is now called "The America's" had to have come from somewhere else. The only "Native Population" that ever existed was Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Now, through modern research, we know that we are all truly brothers and sisters; descended from one set of parents and one race.

          The question has to be asked: what is the single most important thing that happened because of all these peoples coming to the Americas?  That single most important thing would be the introduction of the Grace and Salvation of Christ, being brought to the "native" populations. The French, the British and the Spanish were all responsible for the spread of the Gospel in the America's, among other endeavors, and often as an afterthought.  However, the Puritans had only one purpose in their coming to the Americas. As they said, they wanted to set up a "New Israel", in order to worship God in the purist form possible, and spread the Gospel. They succeeded in setting up a "city on a hill" that shined it's light throughout the world. The establishment of the United States, as a Christian nation, was accomplished in the late 1700's, by visionaries who knew that the only chance for our nation to grow and prosper would be its Biblical basis. This Biblical basis was truly established  based on the foundations set up by the Puritans and Pilgrims who first set foot in Massachusetts, starting in 1620.

          I took special interest in this subject because of family questions about the truth of the theories. I wrote the following "Thanksgiving" article to give the position of my family.

"What is Thanksgiving all about?

 There are those who wish to rewrite history and vilify our ancestors, about the way the Native Americans "were treated".  Anyone care for the truth? 

1. No one knows for sure where the "native", "original", "first" or "indigenous " people, that were here when the Pilgrims landed came from. There are dozens of theories such as the lost tribes from Israel. the Minoans, the Vikings, the Chinese and the Mayans, among others.  We do know that this continent is not where God created man.

2. My family, who originally came here from England, came to be able to practice their Christianity in peace, and spread the Gospel of Christ.

3. The Puritans and Pilgrims enslaved nobody.

4. The Puritans, and later the Pilgrims and the "Indians" got along very well.  It was only because of the help of these "Indians" that a little over half of the settlers lived through the first winter.  My ancestor, William White, died that winter.  My direct ancestor, John White (William Whites nephew), arrived here in 1630 with his bride (whom he married on the ship), Francis Jackson, and settled in Watertown Massachusetts.

5. No land was stolen from the "Indians".  A large tract of land, that was cleared and ready for planting, was available to the Pilgrims because the tribe that had occupied it had been completely wiped out by disease, long before the Pilgrims arrived.  The "Indians" believed there was something evil in that land, and therefore wouldn't use it. 

6. The true history of those who were the precursors of what came to be the United States is available for those who care to research it.  For this history, I recommend the book "The Light and The Glory", by Peter Marshall and David Manuel.  I recommend this book because it stems from the original writings, from those involved.  These Pilgrims were held together by their love of God, and Jesus law of "love thy neighbor", which included the "Indians" ( since all men are created equal). 

7. The first "Thanksgiving" celebration was a combined banquet with the Pilgrims and the "Indians".  The "Indians" supplied most of the meat, consisting of venison, wild turkeys and probably rabbits, squirrels and other items. The thanks that were given were for the blessings that God had bestowed on the Pilgrims (these blessings included the "native Americans")."[7]

Jesus, Hanukkah and Christmas

QUESTION: Should Christians honor and celebrate Hanukkah?

ANSWER: Yes, Jesus did. John 10:22

QUESTION: Why?

ANSWER: Because a Born Again Christian has been adopted into the root and family of Judaism. Any celebration the Lord honors should be honored by every Christian and Jew. 

          In all probability, Jesus was conceived (placed by the Ruach HaKodesh[1]) in Mary's womb during the celebration of Hanukkah.[2] If you take the conception of Jesus to be during Hanukkah, count forward 9 months, you will come to the middle of September - where some scientists say is the actual birth time for Jesus. The time of  the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot and Rosh Hashanah.

          Hanukkah is a Hebrew holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple), it is the Festival of lights, and Jesus is the Light Of The World. As we know, Light is the smallest particle we know of and is the substance of which all things are made.

          Laminin is a cell adhesion molecule. That's what holds all of our cells together.

This is the structure of Laminin.

   

 

          Now we know that is was Jesus who made us, Jesus is the light of which we are made and the Cross is the stuff that holds us together.

          There is a difference between the Temple Menorah and the Hanukkah menorah. The Temple Menorah represents the 7 days of creation, where the Hanukkah Menorah stands for the 8 days the oil lasted. The word Hanukkah means "Dedication". The first Menorah represents the creation of the world and the second represents God's willingness to supply continuing Salvation.

 Creation

  

Hanukkah

          Many say that the Sheppard's were the first human visitors and were the lowliest of people; to show Jesus humility. Please keep in mind that Sheppard's were the protectors of the sheep. They kept the sheep safe from wolves, bears and lions. These were not wimpy uneducated men. Think in terms of King David and Gideon. David was a Shepard, while Gideon was a wheat farmer.  David became a king over Israel, while Gideon became a judge over Israel.  Jesus was, and still is, the Good Shepard, but also the King of Kings.

Why Bethlehem?

Bethlehem means" House of Bread" and Jesus said He is the bread of life.

He was born, and lain in a manger feeding trough for a crib.

Bethlehem is where the lambs for the temple sacrifice were raised. Jesus was born for the sacrifice. Micah 5:2 says: "But thou, Bethlehem Ephrata, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting[3]."

          In the Old Testament prophesies, the Messiah was predicted to come from Bethlehem.  This is one reason some of the Jewish leaders rejected Him. They knew that the Messiah would not come out of Nazareth, where they thought Jesus was born. Truth is always truth, but sometimes it must be sought out. True study of the scriptures would have told them where to look, and questioning about the birth place would have yielded the truth. Throughout history, men have gone about half cocked and swearing by it. God does not hide the truth from His people. There are many people today who study church doctrine more than they study the scriptures.

          The Shepard's of Bethlehem were the first to greet the birth of the Lamb. Bethlehem is where the kingdom of David begins. It is where David was a Shepard. It is prophesied that Jesus will rule from the throne of His father David.

          Simeon and Anna were in the Temple in Jerusalem when Joseph and Mary brought Jesus in to fulfill the custom of the law.  Simeon and Anna had a special understanding with God, that they would see the salvation of the world before they died.  They both proclaimed it to be Jesus.[4] "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."[5]

          When Jesus was about 18 months old, the Magi came to worship Him. He was in the "terrible two's" at the time. My wife says that since Jesus was God, he couldn't be in the "terrible two's". Perception is everything. If you were Satan, you would think that Jesus had come out of the terrible one's, was in the terrible two's and entering the terrible three's.

          By now, some of you are saying that there is at least some of this that I can't prove. You are right. So, at this point, you need to take my advice and study the scriptures for yourself. I will admit that some of this is a result of taking scriptural studies to "the next step", where common sense takes over, from information gained by listening to biblical teachers and application of the Bible to science. History and science are perfectly good study disciplines, if we realize that where they disagree with scripture, it is science and history that are not trustworthy. All things must be judged by the Word of God. Regardless of what date or season we choose to celebrate the birth of Jesus, I will join in. I will give celebration and honor to Jesus at any time. For the church's first three centuries, Christmas wasn't in December—or on the calendar at all[6]. The Puritan's and Pilgrim's, when they came here from Europe, did not celebrate Christmas at all: they considered it to Holy for celebration.

          It is not that important when we celebrate Jesus. The important thing is that we recognize who and what He is. When we accept His offer of Salvation, and make Him the Lord of our life, we become members in the family and kingdom of God.

[2] Hilke Dokter  offers three indicators from the Bible that Jesus was born during the Jewish month of Tishri (our September/October). http://www.members.shaw.ca/hdokter/My_Web/index.htm

The approximate month of Jesus birth can actually be calculated with reference to the conception of John the Baptist:

Luke 1:5 says that John's father, Zacharias, was "a member of the Abijah division of the Temple service corps." (Living Bible)

1 Chronicles 24:15 assigned the priests of the Abijah division to begin temple service at the start of the 9th week of the year. But at the end of the week, Pentecost had begun, so he would have remained on duty until the end of the 10th week.

Luke 1:23-24 records that Zacharias returned immediately to his home, and that John was conceived shortly thereafter - probably during the last half of Sivan, the 3rd month in the Jewish calendar.

Allowing for a normal 9 months pregnancy, John would have been born in the springtime.

Luke 1:36 records that the angel came to Mary when John's mother Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant.

Luke 1:31 reports that Mary conceived very shortly after the angel's visit.

Assuming a normal, 9 month pregnancy, Jesus would have been born about 6 months after John - sometime in the fall of the year.

The Bible: Only a Bunch of Rules, and Do’s and Don’ts?

          I hadn’t taken the time to draw near to the Lord and enjoy being in His presence for several days.  I’m not going to give any reasons, for they would be mere excuses.  I didn’t sleep much again last night and was feeling weary this morning.  Even so, I shrugged off the inclination to just lie there in hopes that somehow I might be able to drift off into a deep sleep.  I felt Him calling and beckoning me to meet with Him, as though He was saying, “Come on Ginger.  Haven’t you missed our time together even just a little bit?  I won’t keep you long if you don’t want me to.”  I pulled myself out of bed and went to our special meeting place – my recliner.  Picking up my Bible, I ran my hands across it before opening it, as if I might be able to touch the very hand of God just by being close to His precious word.  All of God’s word is more precious than silver and gold, but I confess that the Psalms and Proverbs hold a place of special affection within my heart.  I turned to Proverbs 2 and began to read once again from His instructions about how to live life according to His precepts, seeking His wisdom and knowledge, that I might understand more fully the vital importance of understanding and walking in the fear of the Lord.

          As I read, words which I have often heard spoken by those who have not yet learned to love God or His word, popped into my mind: “The Bible, what good is it?  Who wants to have anything to do with something that is nothing more than a useless list of do’s and don’ts?”  This expression is often used by scoffers, as if the speaking of them was a rational reason to look upon God’s word as no more than words written by mere men, or as useless garbage that should easily be discarded and thrown into the nearest trash can.  It would always make me bristle to my very core and want to respond, in a not so Christian way, by telling them what absolute idiots they were.  Over the years, I hope I have learned a bit more about the importance of not speaking every thought that comes into my mind.

          At any rate, after reading a couple of chapters, and enjoying every minute of “tasting” the goodness of the Lord and His word, I began to contemplate upon the idea of the word being merely a list of do’s and don’ts.  Instead of just wanting to discard it as the rationalization of any unbeliever for ignoring God and His word, I asked myself to consider the possible influence of that assumption, even in such limited boudaries?  Understanding that an unbeliever is not going to have any idea of the person and role of the Holy Spirit, who guides every believer into the understanding of the wisdom and knowledge of God, I began to consider the statement itself and question, “Ok, what if the word was only a ‘list of do’s and don’ts?”  Of course, I don’t believe that.  But just for the moment, I was willing to explore the idea to decide for myself, if that’s all it was, would or could that list, or standards and requirements, still have worth or value in shaping and changing a life for the better?  Does God’s standards of right and wrong, when activated and practiced in one’s life serve to produce to improvement within the person and in the person’s actions and behavior towards others?  To begin with, I considered just the Ten Commandments and the possibility of their consequences in a person’s life.  If someone read them and tried their best to apply them in their life on a consistent basis, even if they did not believe in the One who was the author of them, would they be an instrument to work for good or for bad in life?  I compared their possible effect with a similar effect of being able to understand the law of gravity and its application in life.  If I were to ignore the law of gravity by deciding to walk off the edge of a cliff, would the truth of the law become null and void and of no effect?  Would my choice of not believing in the law stop me from falling to my death? Of course not!  The law of gravity is true, and it’s going to work whether I choose to believe in it or not.  Applying that law and acknowledging its truth can only serve to protect me and make my life safer, and even longer.  So it is with God and His word.  I could personally choose not to believe in God or His word, but that is never going to have the effect of changing or diminishing the truth of His word; it only means that I will have robbed myself of the transforming power of His word in my life.

          God’s do’s and don’ts are meant for my good, not for my harm.  The fact that I may choose not to believe or apply His word, in the living of my life, can only serve to block God from helping me to live out His purpose for my life.  I can think of only one reason why anyone would want to ignore God and His word, and that is because His directions may tend to get in the way, making His way inconvenient for us, if what we desire is to go against them, preferring to go our own way, to live a life that is self directed instead of God directed.  Man, in his natural fallen state, is full of pride, and therefore finds it much more appealing to deny Christ as Savior and Lord, and deny His right to have authority over and in our lives.  It isn’t really that the unbeliever doesn’t live by a set of rules, standards, or do’s and don’ts.  The problem is that he wants to retain for himself the right to be the only one having the authority to make up those rules to suit his own desires at any given time and place.  As the song “I Did It My Way” says, man wants to follow his own path and not be “restricted” or “constrained” by anything or anyone else; thereby, exalting himself to the position of the only god in his life.  It’s easy not to have to accept responsibility for your own actions, good or bad, if you have no one above yourself to hold you accountable. 

          Sad to say, in rejecting God and His authority, we also are choosing to divest ourselves of all His many blessings that His Holy Spirit would gladly pour out into our lives, blessings of peace, love, joy, hope, and yes, forgiveness of sin and eternal salvation, given freely by the grace and mercy of God who has loved us first.  So, in reality, it’s not the do’s and don’ts that really bothers us, it’s the fact that they are established as absolutes by someone else other than ourselves, and they are not relative, up for debate, or changeable to suit our own desires.  To top it all off, the scriptures, or do’s and don’ts as some have called them,  point to God as the only one who has the authority to decide what sin is or is not, and we don’t like to acknowledge God’s right to have authority over our lives.  We prefer to think that there are many paths to God, because we think that by so doing, we can then choose any path that suits us, and ignore the words of Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father except by me.” (John 14: 6)  “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word that ye hear is not mine , but the Father’s which sent me.  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14: 23 – 26)  That’s plain, clear, and does not depend upon your own personal opinion or private interpretation.  It’s not the gospel according to Ginger; it’s the gospel according to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  Put not your trust in your own works, but repent, ask for forgiveness, and trust in the works of Jesus Christ, who was crucified, resurrected from the dead, and ascended unto heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  Believe and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you shall be saved by the mercy and grace of God.

Gun Control

        The Bible tells us that a man who doesn't provide for his family is worse than an infidel. What does the bible tell us about the things he should provide? The answer is food, housing, clothing, protection and education. Jesus told his disciples to, if necessary, sell some of their stuff and buy swords. The equivalent weapon to the sword then, today would be a firearm. The sixth Commandment says not to murder. It doesn't say not to kill, because it is sometimes necessary to kill: in protection of your family, in time of war, and when killing animals for food.

"THE FALLACY OF STRICTER GUN LAWS:
        Those who advocate stricter gun laws or confiscating guns from law abiding gun owners are of the same mindset as those pacifists who refuse to do their part to defend our country or neighborhoods, but always expect others to risk their own lives to protect them. Those who had guns and had to defend themselves and their own property during such times as the Katrina disaster, because the police couldn't, might have quite a different opinion about the right to own guns and arm themselves for their own defense. Places like Chicago, having the strictest gun laws, ironically also have the highest deaths rates by gun violence. Criminals are not going to abide by gun laws, so their innocent neighbors are subjected to continual violence because they don't have the means to protect themselves when the job is too great for the police to help them. Progressives are led by their emotions, not by facts or reality. Plus, more often than not they have no idea what it's like to have to live in the midst of gang land culture, where criminals and illegal guns are permitted to reign over entire regions. Progressives want to take guns away from law abiding citizens so that only those who are in power can rule over citizens and create a government police force state! This is what the Obama administration is seeking to do through the UN, to undermine our constitution and remove our sovereignty as a nation. Warning: with over a year left of his tyrannical reign, he just may be successful, and progressives will have helped him every step of the way as they perceive themselves to be so much wiser than our founding fathers. So PC they have no ability to see the damage they do to our own country.
Where are these mass shootings taking place- in clearly defined "gun free zones" where the mentally ill or terrorists, domestic or foreign, are assured security to carry out their evil desires."[1]

Australia's experience -

"Australian Gun Law Update
Here's a thought to warm some of your hearts.... 
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia 
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real 
figures from Down Under. 
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own 
government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent, Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent; Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria..... lone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not 
and criminals still possess their guns!) While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public 
safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....' You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens. 
Take note Americans, before it's too late!"[1]

Great Britain's experience -

          "Gun control in Britain passed in stages, beginning just after World War I and continuing in a reactionary fashion with increasing strictness through the 1990s. When the final stage arrived in 1997, and virtually all handguns were banned via the Firearms Act, the promise was a reduction in crime and greater safety for the British people. But the result was the emergence of Britain as the 'most violent country in Europe'. In 2009, twelve years after the Firearms Act of 1997 was passed, Daily Mail Online reported that Britain was 'the most violent country in Europe.' They also reported that Britain’s home figures showed 'the UK [had] a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and South Africa.'"[3] 

A search for answers -

        I posted the following statement on Facebook to see if anyone had any responsible answers. I posted it on three different sites to get a well rounded response. "Would someone, anyone, please tell me how any additional form of gun control laws could possibly prevent slaughters like the recent one in Oregon. Calling for more gun control is a knee jerk emotional response to a situation that needs clear thinking. Please, I am open to suggestions, as long as they are logical. ALSO, please, pretty please with molasses on it, don't post any stupid, illogical or emotional responses to this honest request for information."

Responses -

Rick -  The only person that will protect you is you...period !!

Jack - Gun control? I don't think any law will stop this. You will never stop everyone who is determined to kill. I would say let's stop glorifying the shooters. Get rid of the "Gun Free Zones". And I'll end with a quote from Ben Franklin: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

 Clair Ann - Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Humans need lessons in humanity. Humans need lessons in love. Humans need lessons in respect. Humans need lessons in compassion. So, start in the education system. Because the most recent parents of the world have none of those things, and therefore can't teach their children how to be a good human. It is a sad state of humanity. Gun control? Most of us don't have a gun. But if we did, the playing field would be equal. That might change things.

Donald -  I think the illusion is wearing pretty thin. They have absolutely no interest in preventing more slaughters. Their only intent is to disarm their intended victims (i.e. US!)

  Jeff -  Honestly I can't think of any. They can make all the laws they want. Criminals and crazies don't care about law.

 Pat - Remember when Biden said we don't have time or resources to enforce the laws on the books now, says it all, no new laws will solve anything

Allan - It won't but if you ENFORCE laws on the books (U.S. CODE, TITLE 18 chapter titled FIREARMS) It would be the begging of the end to this problem. SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU REALLY WANT IT TO STOP. Certain politicians want to play god. Only GOD can play GOD!

Bruce - it is the Saul Alinsky rules for radicals....never let a catastrophe go to waste

Damian - Are you asking what "Law" could prevent evil? when only good people follow the laws, additional "Gun Control" laws only hurt good people by not allowing them to have the tools to protect themselves from evil people....Now lets look at it from a different perspective; How do you know if a person is evil and can it be detected? other than a past "Criminal History" NO...That's why it should be more important to have Guns

Marc - They don't want gun control they want us all classified as lunatics and martial law

Mark A Archer Oh come on Rick you really think you are going to get smart well thought out solutions to the problem. The liberal answer is always the same. TAKE OUR GUNS.

 Michael - Gun Free Zones...is Failed Gun Control

Steve A - Gun control does help, you have to have good steady control of the gun when you shoot the bad guys.

Steve B - The Libs have gotten what they want. Gun free zones and unarmed citizens. See what happens? A mandatory law arming a few unknown educators in each school would cure this problem.

Ron - Outlaws will ALWAYS find a way to get guns. MOST gun crimes are committed using STOLEN or illegally purchased guns. Anyone purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer usually doesn't commit a crime with it. A "Gun Free Zone" is saying "you can come in and do what you want because we have no way to protect ourselves.".

Bobby - Taking all if you can find them all guns will not prevent mentally challenged, radicalized people or any hate group in the world from doing their dirty deeds. Self defense is you responsibly.

David - It won't. So don't worry about not understanding. Only liberals think they can stop gun violence with laws. Look at what just happened in "gun free" Australia. Islamist WITH GUNS attacked a police station. Where are the laws now?

Justin - It would. If we give in to complete gun control, Obama will stop staging mass shootings in an effort to get more gun control.

Tammy - Laws are not the problem....law breakers are. this admin screams this nonsense for only one reason, disarmament.

Paul - Government is not the solution to a spiritual malady. People are evil or sick, probably can't afford to get mental help. Spiritual help is always free.

Scott - Well, let's see. We already have 20,000 gun laws and regulations pushed down our throats despite having a God given right and an affirmation of said right and topped off with the explicitly written SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. 
So, what was your question again?...lol

William - A suggestion - Those convicted of using a gun in a crime get five years plus the sentence for the felony- no parole, no probation and no plea bargain as to the gun enhancement. For the second offense of a felony with a gun- life, no parole, no probation, no plea bargain. Mandatory death sentence for a murder using a gun.

Shawn - Obama wants victims to be unarmed so Muslims and black lives mater can kill as many American Christians as possible

Beverly - I personally am going to one of the local gun shops and will start the process for a gun permit, this granny is gettin a gun.

Scott B - Your asking a corrupt government that thrives off of the incarceration business to start locking up thousands upon thousands of dollar signs

Darrell - All states should have Constitution Carry, that was our right in the beginning, should be our right now, why should we have to have a permit, I am 59 years old, I have been shooting handguns sence I was 6 & rifles before that, I was taught by the best, so why should I have to pay for a dang permit?

Marshall - ....here's a hint! FACT: SINCE THE 1950's, ALL MASS KILLINGS (except TWO) HAVE BEEN PERPETRATED IN GUN FREE ZONES! Sheriff David Clarke is right: #NoGunFreeZones

 Justin - My gun permit was written over 200 years ago

Joe - There is no law currently on the books or any additional I can think of to prevent. I do feel that letting an evil religion into the country is a mistake. I am not a doctor of any sort. I have no reason for mass killings. I do believe in conspiracy theories. The timing of these events is suspicious.

Sheryl -  "We must reject the ides that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual ia accountable for his actions"  Ronal Reagan

Glenda - We need to teach our young adults how to handle these weapons and once trained they should be allowed to carry. These people that are coming in to unarmed places know that they are unarmed. If people were armed themselves there would be no real chance of killing 10 20 a hundred people because everyone could and should protect themselves. I'm not talking about a week of training. I'm talking about it being a full fledged course as soon as the person turns 18. A course you have to pass physically, mentally and for that matter socially. If the military can train them at 18 so can we. Just my thoughts but I'll bet it would surely have these people pause before shooting.

Don - Shooter dude was Mental / brainwashed - he had 13 legal weapons - his parents let this happen. Penalty needs to be placed on those around the Dude

Damian - Lets not blame the Parents Don I know Obama says your a child until you reach 27 years old (LMAO)..; He was a grown Man responsible for his own actions....

Linda - Yes Damian, but his mother knew he had mental problems and should have kept the guns away from him.

Nick - 1. No guns. 2 let refugee army in. 3. Start civil war. 4 Go bankrupt trying to bankrupt Russia 5. invite UN into our country to battle not just islam but people like us. 6. No more U.S.A . But U.S.S.A. homeland security didn't buy a billion rounds of ammo and ten million coffins becuase there was a sale at Wal-Mart going on.

Scott B - Stop letting Islam be practiced in U.S. is a good start

Ernie - Its a mute answer my friend

James - That's a no-brainer. Mandatory firearms training required to graduate high school.

Scott - I'm a 2nd amendment believer for sure. Yet many places aren't enforcing their background checks. That wouldn't totally fix the problem, but it'd really help keep guns out of the hands of the people with known mental problems. Seems crazy but I have talked to people that have legally bought guns and brought them home the same day(what?). Nothing is going to be a total fix in a nation of free citizens without stomping on their inalienable rights. Always going to be crazy/evil people/gov'ts sadly.

Michelle - If we make guns illegal then nobody will be shot anymore. That's how we stopped everybody from using drugs.

        What I deduced, from the above, and further study, covers a wide range of thought; most of it defeatist. First, liberals want gun control, but don't want to discuss facts. Hard right folks don't want any gun control and therefore don't want to discuss facts. The second amendment covers those between the two extremes. No one seems to have a real answer for the Islamist attacks and those committed by the insane. No one seems to have and answer for those areas where the criminals are almost completely in charge of their neighborhoods. Everyone agrees that if someone wants you dead there are many ways, other than a gun, to get the job done. There have always been those who would take the guns away from everybody, except the police and army. These people have never been on the side of reason, or even possibility. I have placed a chart, at the end of this article, that gives the murder rates compared to gun ownership rates around the world by the UNODC & Small arms survey

Examples of hyper-emotionalism -

          Australian Group Calls For Boycott Of U.S. Until America Fixes Its Gun Laws.  Gun Control Australia director Samantha Lee suggested a boycott of non-essential travel to America to protest its inaction on gun control. (notice report above on their gun consequences)

          The White House confirmed that President Obama was preparing a series of executive actions on gun control to match his recent passion on the issue after the latest mass shooting in Oregon."[1]

          Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blamed the NRA and Republicans for mass shootings during a Friday speech in Florida.[2]

Facts -

          The Oregon shooting/slaughter was just another incidence where a wicked gun forced an innocent young man into a gun free zone where it could feel safe. The gun then proceeded to shoot 17 people, and afterwards it killed it's young man. From this we can see that guns don't kill people, people kill people. Forks don't make you fat, pens don't make you write dirty words, etc., etc., etc..

          A gun is a tool, no better and no worse than any other tool; such as a shovel, an axe, a hammer, a knife and a pen. A tool is as good or as bad as the person using it.

          The United States is third in murders throughout the world. But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C. and New Orleans, the United States is forth from the bottom for murders, Believe it or not, these four cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States.

          Vermont does not require a permit to carry a firearm. Vermont has the third lowest crime rate in the nation.

          Britain banned guns on 1967. Today there are is a knife attack every four minutes - 130,000 per year.[3]

          President Obama says guns make us less safe. President Obama is surrounded by guns 24 hours a day, for his protection; the same is true with his wife and children. President Obama's kids are surrounded by 11 armed guards to and from school. Obama wants to protect our children with gun free zones.  

          "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is s good guy with a gun." Wayne LaPierre

"At the 2013 homicide rate, roughly one in every 285 Americans will be murdered in the course of their lives.

 A U.S. Justice Department study based on crime data from 1974-1985 found:

• 42% of Americans will be the victim of a completed violent crime (assault, robbery, rape) in the course of their lives.

• 83% of Americans will be the victim of an attempted or completed violent crime.

• 52% of Americans will be the victim of an attempted or completed violent crime more than once"[4]

          Criminals, terrorists, rapists and politicians are in favor of gun control, because they hate it when we shoot back.

          In September 2015, in Xinjiang, China, a knife attack left at least 50 people dead. Making innocent people defenseless does not protect them from evi

         The Second Amendment -

        "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Those people who fought in the Revolutionary War were not all that well regulated. They were farmers, clerks, lumberjacks, politicians, sales people, carpenters, bricklayers, cooks, clergy, and many other various and sundry occupations. They ranged in age from 12 to 80 and were there because they believed in the cause. As best as they could, they regulated the militia, but they depended on people who had their own weapons and equipment to help with the cause. One of the main reasons we were not attacked by the Japanese in WWI was because they knew the American people were armed. This information came from records obtained after the war was over.

        There are those who suggest that only the "militia" should be allowed to own or carry arms. These are the people who wish to subvert the meaning of the second amendment. The key words that have guarded our rights are "the right of THE PEOPLE  to KEEP and BEAR arms".

          The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people. The United States is third in murders throughout the world. But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C. and New Orleans, the United States is forth from the bottom for murders, Believe it or not, these four cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States. Puerto Rico tops the world's table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides - 94.8%. It's followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.

Why Grandpa carries a gun. The quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun.
Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to
"A Little Gun History" about half way down, staggering numbers! Why Carry a Gun?
My old Grandpa said to me,
"Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin'."
I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry;
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone;
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves because police do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens, and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'!

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY... PLEASE DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO !!!!!!

You won't see this data on the US evening news or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
SWITZERLAND......... issues a gun to EVERY HOUSEHOLD! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE. and..........
SWITZERLAND has the LOWEST gun-related crime rate of any civilized country in the WORLD. IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this.
If you're not a believer, please ...........reconsider the facts.
This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.

Guns are a lot like parachutes; if you need one and don't have one, you will probably NEVER need one again!
