Anti-gun Laws & beheadings fail to stop mass shooting in Saudi Arabia!

17 October 2015 (17:52 UTC-07 Tango 01)/25 Mehr 1394/03 Muharram 1436/05 Bing-Xu (9th month) 4713

Despite strict anti-gun laws, and the threat of being beheaded for breaking laws, a man shot and killed five people and wounded nine.  The man was killed by police.

U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Islamic State DAIISH (Islamic State, DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]) took credit for the shooting, saying the man was targeting Shi’a Muslims.

“You can get illegal firearms easily if you know where to look. Getting them legally, on the other hand isn’t for everyone and can be very difficult if you do not have connections.”-internet post explaining how people get guns in Saudi Arabia

Rich hypocritical Saudis brandishing their illegal guns at a wedding!

In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) it is illegal to openly sell a gun.  Most guns are bought illegally, however, the government has an amnesty program that allows those who bought a gun illegally to register the gun and get a license to own the gun.  This requires a criminal and mental background check, as well as testing the gun barrel for evidence that it might have been used in a crime.   It is also illegal to hunt with a gun.

Despite tough anti-gun laws, which include banning open market sales, KSA is ranked number six out of the top ten countries for private gun ownership!

Syria, 14 October 2015: Takfir insurgents continue targeting gun owners! Massive Iranian troop deployment! Russia says Syrian Free Army is False Flag, exists only on paper!

“…we asked our Western partners, especially the Americans, to provide us with information about this army, their nature, positions and commanders and how one can contact them or cooperate with them.”  But the United States refused to provide info on the Syrian Free Army “…that’s what has happened. Therefore, such an army is a fake organization which is much talked about without being seen.”-Maria Zakharova, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (this explains why every U.S. military supply op ends up in the hands of DAIISH)

U.S. Department of Defense has admitted that their recent 50 tonnes paradrop of military supplies was not meant for Syrian Kurds, but for a new “group of smaller Syrian-Arab fighters who have, on their own, joined together to form a coalition”.  Pinocchio’s nose just keeps getting longer and longer…..  Because the U.S. DoD also stated “We don’t give arms to YPG.”, yet the next day the political arm of the YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units), PYD (Kurdish Rojava Democratic Union Party) admitted that they took possession of the 50 tonnes weapons drop, plus stated “This is just the beginning; more weapons are to be sent.”

Aleppo Governorate:  Artillery rockets launched by U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents hit several Aleppo City neighborhoods, at least 17 people wounded and two killed.  A U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Islamic State DAIISH (Islamic State, DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]) kamikaze car bomber blew up killing five Syrian Arab Army personnel in Aleppo City.   Intense battles for control of Syrian Air Force Academy continues. Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports that Syrian rebels have wrested control of the town of Ehris away from DAIISH.  SOHR reports what sounds like Syrian Rebels rebelling against their DAIISH masters, intense battles resulting in at least 20 killed, including beheadings of captives are taking place.  SOHR also reports that Syrian Arab Army continues its attempt to retake the Kweres (Quweires) airbase from DAIISH.   State run Iranian news media reported two more Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) generals were killed, despite a member of the Iranian parliament adamantly denying that Iranian troops are in Syria!

Damascus (Rif Dimashq) area:  U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Jaish al-Islam fired artillery rockets into neighborhoods of Damascus City, wounding one man and causing a fire after a fuel truck (fueler) was hit.

Daraa Governorate:  Syrian Arab Army engaged Nusra Front in Tafas City.  Insurgents crossing into Syria from Jordan were also targeted, forcing many to flee back into Jordan into the motherly arms of their U.S. trainers.  SOHR reports that U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH and Suhada’a al-Yarmouk Brigade have joined together to attack U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Nusra Front!

Deir Ezzor Governorate: The Syrian Army Air Force and Syrian Arab Army continued defending Deir Ezzor airbase from assaults by U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH, as well as launching attacks against DAIISH around the governorate.  At least 2-hundred DAIISH killed in 24 hours.  Almost 1-hundred DAIISH were found in a mass grave near the town of al-Boseira.

Hama Governorate: Syrian Arab Army killed 12 insurgents.

Hasakah Governorate: Syrian Arab Army and National Defense Forces (militias) attacked a DAIISH unit  surrounding the town of al-Salihya, at least four DAIISH killed.

Homs Governorate:  Syrian Arab Army attacked an Chechen insurgent group calling itself Ahrar al-Sham Islamic Movement.  At least seven killed.  Battles continued against DAIISH near Tadmour City (Palmyra) and Unk al-Hawa village.  Nusra Front insurgents were attacked in other parts of the governorate.   Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports another assassination by “unknown gunmen”.  This time the target was the leader of a group called Islamic Movement of Ahrar al-Sham.  As a result the insurgent takfir (false) Islamic Court banned the personal possession of all guns!   The insurgents are blaming the assassinations against them on Syrian gun owners who’re basically acting as Ninja (citizens against tyrants).  1776, Don’t Tread on Me!!!

Idlib Governorate:    Syrian Arab Army reports killing 17 Jaish al-Fateh insurgents and destroyed ten armored and other vehicles.

Latakia Governorate:  Reports that massive deployment of “thousands” of Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) personnel are taking place.  They are landing at the same airbase being used by Russia (known as Hmeimim airbase, aka Basel al- Assad airport).   Lebanese Resistance Regiments (Hezbollah) units suffered hundreds of casualties (seven killed, 2-hundred wounded).  However, the unconfirmed report gave no other information.

Class Warfare: Being a mass shooter is really expensive, so how’d they do it, especially the under-employed/unemployed Patsies?

03 October 2015 (11:27 UTC-07 Tango 01)/11 Mehr 1394/19 Dhu l-Hijja 1436/21 Bing-Xu 4713

False Flag Proof Mass Shootings are Class Warfare: How in the hell can a “recluse” who lives in an apartment with his mother because he’s an unemployed/under-employed college student afford to buy 13 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo?  That’s what the ‘investigators’ in The Beaver State of Oregon want you to believe; that the unemployed/under-employed mass shooter at Umpqua Community College somehow was able to buy 13 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo!

I’m a Constitutionalist, as all true citizens of the United States should be, but for more than a decade now I have not been able to go to my local shooting range and enjoy legally busting some caps due to the fact my personal income sucks.  I’m barely paying living expenses so how in the hell does an unemployed college student buy 13 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo?

One Oregonian news report said the Umpqua Community College shooter moved to Oregon after a job as a restaurant manager in California, and that was after being kicked out of the U.S. Army after ‘washing out’ of five weeks of basic training.  I’m a Cold War veteran and I’ve been a front line manager in the service sector (including managing a convenience store in Santa Maria, California) and I can tell you that a couple of months Army basic training and short time as a restaurant manager does not provide enough money to pay your living expenses in The Golden State and pay for your move to The Beaver State and buy 13 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo.

The median price for a legally purchased gun in the United States is about 5-hundred to 6-hundred bucks (U.S. Dollars)!  A really nice gun, especially military/match grade, will cost more than $1-thousand USD easy.  Your average price for a box of 20 rounds of ammo is between 20 and 40 bucks (as of 2015)!  Do the math! How in the hell does an unemployed/underemployed college student buy 13 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo?

One student says they were told told by ‘officials’ that they couldn’t hear the gunshots because the gun was “silenced”. So the students were being coached by officials as to what they did or did not hear during the shooting?

13 guns @ $500 each (on the low end) = $6,500  (at this point ‘police’ have not said what type of guns, which could drive the price higher.  There’s a new report saying he used a .40 pistol that belonged to somebody else, but police don’t know how he got it)

Don’t forget, one student said they were told the shooter had a silenced gun.  Depending on the gun a silencer could cost between $100 and $1,000 USD!

Yep, just a few boxes of top quality ammo could cost you a few Benjamins!

1,000 rounds of ammo @ $1 each round (and that’s low-balling it) = $1,000  (at this point ‘police’ have yet to say exactly how many rounds of ammo he had, and depending on the type of ammo the cost will go significantly higher)

Other reports say he had a bullet proof vest, or a flak jacket with “steel plates”.  That’s more money.

As far as as I know you can’t get a car loan or home loan to buy guns.

So the shooter had probs with religious beliefs, and/or had ‘mental problems’ (apparently this Oregon shooter desired attention, and was a ‘special needs’ student in California), but another link in all similar mass shootings in the past decade or so is these guys always have acquired a small arsenal of weapons and ammo in a very short period of time.  Even those shooters who came from wealthy families, the fact they apparently got the guns and ammo in such a short amount of time especially when you’d think their mental problems would have hampered their ability to do so (many of these guys had ‘focus’ issues and were on drugs that are known to impair your judgement and even make you a ‘killer’) which brings up another point:  If they’re paying for expensive mental care and drugs (the shooters from wealthy families were not getting ‘welfare’) how in the hell did they buy so many guns and so much ammo in such a short period of time?

And remember, in every mass shooting the cops say the shooter bought their guns and ammo “legally”.  In the United States it’s actually way cheaper to buy an illegal gun than a legal gun.  Gang bangers in Obama’s homie town of Chicago claim they can get a gat for less than a hundred bucks.

The cost of legally buying a small arsenal is enough to prevent the overwhelming majority of people from becoming a ‘mass shooter’.  This is proof somebody helped the ‘lone gunman’, setting them up in a type of Class Warfare false flag operation!  (this is what’s called being a Patsy: A person who is easily taken advantage of, especially by being cheated or blamed for something)

Total Gun Ban Total Failure: Mexico!

Yet another shooting in total gun ban Australia!

Student belies college president’s claim that campus is “gun free”! Reports of deaths conflict!

Maine: Expera Specialty Solutions shutting down their Old Town paper mill right after Xmas, 195 jobs lost!  Administrators blame the value of the U.S. dollar (USD) versus the Canadian dollar (CAD), as well as the costs of papermaking supplies.

Maryland: Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) forcing taxpayer funded Dimensions Healthcare System’s non-profit Laurel Regional Hospital to add an additional 84 jobs to its previous job cuts.  In Baltimore, after 16 months Freddy art gallery shutdown, but the unknown operators swear they’ll be back.

Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.” 

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings, 15 – 16 June 2015: “insurmountable financial challenges” Americans flee Puerto Rico! No more M16s or M4s? More ‘synergies’ destroying California!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

American Family Association is urging ‘christians’ to close out their Wells Fargo bank accounts, to protest the banks public support of homosexuals.  Really?  I can think of a much better reason to dump that bank, like it’s one of the Too Big to Jail banks that caused our economic meltdown and is part of the ongoing robo-home foreclosure nightmare!

Arkansas: Pulaski Technical College blaming what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome for forcing them to shutdown their west Little Rock (wLR) campus.   In Fall 2014 they had a total of 510 students on the wLR, but for Spring 2015 only 362 students attended classes on the wLR campus!

Arizona: PetSmart warned of impending layoffs at its Phoenix HQ.  At least 15% of employees will be laid off over the next few weeks.  It’s directly related to PetSmart being sold to vulture capitalist BC Partners, back in March.

California:  Remember when I reported back in May that the term synergies now meant layoffs?  Apparently main stream news sources in California took hold of that concept (Another O.C. merger reminds us that ‘synergies’ means layoffs – but it didn’t always).  The latest article out of The Golden State reports that Orange County will see massive layoffs due to “synergies”.  They include expected layoffs from the mergers of companies like drugs makers Allergan & Actavis, computer chip makers Broadcom & Avago, and what housing market recovery? The latest merger between home builders Standard Pacific & The Relyan Group.   The new CEO of tax-sucker Aerojet Rocketdyne confirmed that 250 jobs will be eliminated at their Rancho Cordova HQ, and another 250 across the U.S., over the next four years!  Great Harvest Bread shutting down its 11 years old Folsom store by the end of the month, no explanation.  News reports say it’s the last Great Harvest Bread store in the Sacramento area.  In San Francisco, after six years Wexler’s upscale BBQ restaurant shutting down and being sold-off.  The owner said the timing is right to get out and spend more time with his family.  And San Francisco based clothing retailer GAP announced it will eliminate 250 HQ jobs, plus shutdown 175 stores across the United States (140 by the end of 2015)!  The 250 job cuts apply only to GAP’s HQ and does not count the layoffs caused by the store shutdowns.  Company administrators said the slashing & burning is necessary to save the GAP, but then ironically admitted the store shutdowns would cause them to lose $300-million USD in sales!   Riverside County warns that 114 people could become jobless under the budget for the upcoming fiscal year!  47 county prosecutors and 51 animal control personnel could be let go.  In Arcata, after 17 years Rookery Books shutdown, the owner blamed “Amazon”.

Connecticut: The maker of the M16 and M4, 179 years old West Hartford based Colt Defense, now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  Administrators blame crashing sales on the Obama regime’s Department of Defense.    Newtown school administrators announced they want to shutdown the Hawley Elementary School, due to what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome. Pissed-off taxpayers then demanded to know why $50-million in donated money is being spent on rebuilding the infamous Sandy Hook Elementary School if there aren’t enough students! Some parents even said they did not want their children attending the new Sandy Hook school.

Florida: In Fort Lauderdale, wholesale company Commonwealth-Altadis issued a shutdown WARN saying 150 people will become jobless by the end of the year!  In Miami, after only six months Ted’s restaurant will shutdown by the end of the month.

Hawaii: The state run ObamaCare Hawaii Health Connector laid off 25 people. It’s because state administrators are shifting from running their own ObamaCare website to the federal government’s insurance exchange website.

Illinois: In Peoria, after more than 50 years Strode Music shutdown.  The owners blame crashing sales, they even had to stop renting out instruments two years ago.

Indiana: Bloomingfoods Co-op is eliminating an undisclosed number of jobs (so far 18 people laid off, but reports say more layoffs are in the works), blaming a 20% crash in sales on “competition”.   But is the real reason because employees tried to unionize?  What automotive industry recovery?  Gear drive/power transmissions maker Oerlikon Fairfield laid off 50 people at their Lafayette factory.  Administrators blamed the bad economy.

Kentucky: After eight years the owner of My Old Kentucky Homebrew announced he’s shutting it down in July.

Maryland: The first medical research school in the United States, John Hopkins University, announced they must eliminate jobs due to crashing federal taxpayer funding, and increased costs artificially created by new federal regulations.  At this point 109 jobs being eliminated or “reorganized”!  However, unnamed employees say they’ve been warned that 10% of the 20-thousand employees will eventually be laid off!

Massachusetts: 51 years old Marian Court College shutdown due to “insurmountable financial challenges…..given declining enrollment numbers”.

Michigan: Battle Creek Public Schools eliminating 23 jobs. The district is lacking $2.1-million.  East Grand Rapids Board of Education laying off four people, cutting pay and moving some teachers to part time. The district is so short on funding that parents have started donation drives for the schools.  Ypsilanti Community Schools laid off 18 teachers, blaming it on a $2.2-million drop in state level taxpayer funding caused by a 7.8% drop in enrollment (they lost 325 students from last year)!  It must be pointed out that state funding was actually increased by $163 per student, but what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome is so massive in Michigan that the increase in per student state funding cannot make up for the losses! The Grand River Coffee Café in East Lansing shutdown.  Troy based Olga’s Kitchen now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  However “The future is bright for Olga’s Kitchen. The 28 restaurants are now profitable and growing in profitably.”  News reports basically said the chain restaurant didn’t want to pay its debts.  Gee, if bankruptcy was only that easy for us individuals.

New Jersey: Brick Township School District eliminated 24 bus driver jobs.  The transportation manager blamed the school board for being a bunch of control freaks!  Administrators warned that by not laying off more bus drivers they are going to have to cut jobs elsewhere.     Their original plan was to eliminate 31 bus drivers, but they caught heat from the union.   Newark, the biggest city in the state, eliminated 155 school district employees, and the teachers union says that doesn’t include the teachers who are next on the chopping block!

New York: The Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System announced it is shutting down its Brooklyn unit in July.  VA administrators said that with the drastic budget cuts for next fiscal year the only way to continue funding programs is to halt inpatient care.  In NYC, 15 years old Lucky announced it will stop publishing hardcopy version of their magazine and focus on virtual (internet) issues only. At least 14 unlucky Lucky employees have been laid off.

Oregon: In Hillsboro, after 80 years the Hank’s Thriftway grocery store shutting down, after a surprise announcement: “Starting Monday June 15th, we will be open short hours 10am to 7pm to liquidate the inventory. During this time we will be offering a 25% discount on all items other than lottery, money orders and postage stamps. All sales will be final and we will not be able to accept checks.”

Pennsylvania: God refuses to stop the shutdown of three of ‘his’ churches; Incarnation of Our Lord Church, Our Mother of Sorrows and Holy Saviour Church.  Church administrators said all are in desperate need of repair work that the congregations (members) cannot afford to pay for.

Puerto Rico: A mass exodus is taking place in the U.S. Territory, the Pew Research Center says there are more Puerto Ricans living in Florida than in Puerto Rico.  From 2010 to 2013 there was a net exodus of 48-thousand people, purely for economic reasons: “We’re in unprecedented territory because this is, in recent memory, the biggest out-migration that Puerto Rico has experienced!”-Mark Lopez, Pew Resaerch Center

Texas:  58 Head Start employees being laid off across Refugio, Goliad and Bee counties.

12 – 14 June 2015:  “I want off the roller coaster of uncertainty.”

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

California: Obama Care forced managed health care provider Health Net to issue three mass layoff WARNs saying 2,122 health insurance related jobs will be eliminated on 26 June 2015!  (and never mind the reports that Health Net is being sued for canceling their customer’s treatments, resulting in at least one death!)

Illinois: In Old Irving Park, Mirabell German restaurant shutdown after 38 years of operations, apparently due to the death of the chef.  After 43 years Joliet Area Suzuki Strings shutdown, blaming crashing student enrollment: “We just cannot financially sustain it anymore, our numbers have been gradually going down over the last four or five years. Last year, we were down to 40 students, and now we’re at about 25. You just can’t exist with that.”-Mary Smelser, founder

Indiana: What automotive industry recovery?  Maker of cast iron engine blocks Pure Power Technologies shutting down its Indianapolis factory, 153 jobs lost by November!

Michigan: In Pittsfield, Pier 1 Imports shutdown.  Local news reports said company administrators wouldn’t say why, and even ordered employees not to talk about it.

Minnesota: In Saint Paul, after five years Bars Bakery shutdown both of its stores. The owners say they need more family time. Minneapolis based retailer Target announced more layoffs, this time 140 corporate positions have been eliminated!

Missouri: Grocery store chain Schnucks laid off 52 people, and eliminated eight open jobs, at its Saint Louis HQ.  No explanation given.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

World War 3: Japan & U.S. create “Grey Zone” war zones! Vague justifications for war with China!

08 October 2014 (12:27 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/16 Mehr 1393/15 Jia-Xu 4712

The defense departments of United States and Japan just concluded another round of war planning, and the main focus seemed to be the fleshing out of what they’ve been calling Grey Zones.

These are described as non-combative “infringement” upon geographic areas  and air space that are in dispute as to who has legal control, or any non-combative ‘perceived’ infringement against “national security”.  Basically these so called Grey Zones could be used as justification for war with China.

Sun Tzu (Sun Zi) once taught that when a country becomes weak internally they compensate by saber rattling, or even going to war.

The Japan-U.S. Grey Zone excuse as been in the planning for years now, initiated by Japan, and it is aimed directly at China.  Defense planners have openly blamed the need for such saber rattling on the economic demise of the United States: “Based upon a strategic assessment that portrays the US in relative decline and international public goods (the high seas, including exclusive economic zones, airspace, outer space and cyberspace) deteriorating, Japan has placed new emphasis on developing its own capability to deter China in the ‘gray zones’ of disputed territories and waters near its southern island chain.”-JAPAN’S 2010 NATIONAL DEFENSE PROGRAM GUIDELINES: COPING WITH THE “GREY ZONES”, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies April 2011

U.S. and Japanese military officials say they will publicize a new finalized defense cooperation agreement by the end of 2014.  It appears Japan is adopting the vague U.S. excuse of ‘national security’ for their war plans.

‘Security’ is a vague intangible concept.  What makes one person feel secure makes another person feel insecure.  Nearly half the people of the United States are against owning of guns by fellow citizens, which actually violates a primary Constitutional Right of being a U.S. citizen.  The anti-gun half of the U.S. population constantly state that they would feel more ‘secure’ if guns were banned, except when it comes to guns for the sadistic police.

The other half of U.S. citizens point out that the sole reason why the founders of the United States made the radical and still Revolutionary decision to allow gun ownership by citizens was precisely for maintaining ‘security’ of not only individuals, but for the entire country and even against those sadistic cops!

U.S. Civil War Chicago, 11 – 15 August 2014: FBI quietly begins gun confiscation mission! People being killed in front of police station! Notice how many people are gut shot! FD & PD officials continue to contradict each other!

Incomplete list:

3500 block of South Indiana Avenue: 25 years old man gut shot to death just one block from a Chicago police station!  Police say they “found” the man after he was killed, yet somehow they know that he was shot by another man who walked up to the victim before shooting.

7100 block of South Green Street: 26 years old man shot three times and killed supposedly by a drive by shooter in a white car.  Police don’t give a shit because they declared the victim a “documented” gangbanger.

9200 block of South Dobson Avenue:  17 years old boy shot and killed supposedly by drive by shooter in silver car.  News reports say “someone” drove him to a hospital.

103rd and State streets: 22 years old man sitting in a vehicle was somehow shot in the butt and ankle by a person using a rifle, according to police.  Police say they found spent casings for a rifle in the intersection.

9800 block of South Ellis Avenue: 32 years old man shot in the leg and back, 19 years old man gut and butt shot.

7400 block of South Greenwood Avenue: 21 years old man gut shot supposedly by drive by shooter, according to police.

500 block of West 80th Street: 29 years old man shot in the hand while on his porch.

3900 block of West Grand Avenue: 17 years old boy shot in the leg and wounded.

11300 block of South Carpenter Street: 28 years old man shot and wounded.

1100 block of West 80th Street:  Two men in their 30s shot and wounded.

8600 block of South Ingleside Avenue: Three people in their back yard shot and wounded.  Police say the shooter was in the alley.  Police reported two people in serious condition, one in stable condition, yet Fire Department officials say all three are in critical condition.

11800 block of South Princeton Avenue: 15 years old boy shot and wounded in the arm and gut, by drive by shooter.

65 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) personnel began a intelligence and surveillance mission for the expressed purpose of future arrests and gun confiscations: This is a new tactic the FBI is using in fighting crime.  By working in a concentrated area and a concentrated time on the street, although the FBI has been working hand in hand and day in and day out with the police department.”-unnamed FBI spokesperson

The FBI mission was pushed for by Obama puppet Rahm Emanuel.  An unnamed Chicago police officer told the Chicago Sun-Times that he was shocked by the federal government operation: “It’s mind-boggling, it’s almost unheard of!  I thought the mayor and the police superintendent had said they don’t need more police on the streets?”

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”-Rahm Emanuel, Obama regime puppet

40 Illinois State troopers are now assigned to the Chicago Police Fugitive Unit.  For the next 30 days they will help city police hunt down wanted individuals, at least that’s the official story.

It’s interesting that the police seem to know how most shootings went down, even though they weren’t present and most victims refuse to “cooperate”.  And yet, few arrests.

The majority of victims are male.  Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gangbangers, but have made few arrests. That’s because police believe most of the victims are also gangbangers.  Realize that police in metropolitan areas keep records of whose who in the local gangs, this how they know if a victim is a “documented gang member”.  This also means police probably know who the assailants are.   So why no arrests?

Once again, shooting victims were not armed, it’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.  It also questions the police claims that the victims are gang members.  Wouldn’t they be armed?

New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used in Chicago shootings are already illegal!

Now here’s something interesting: Notice police claim most of the victims of the shootings are gangbangers, and realize that it’s the families of those victimized gangbangers demanding all out police state gun bans! Is that irony?

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security….That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013, calls Chicagoland his homie town

Martial Law BS: Strict anti-gun laws fail to stop mass shooting in Germany!

21 August 2013 (23:45 UTC-07 Tango 20 August 2013)/14 Shawwal 1434/30 Mordad 1391/15 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

According to German news sources, a man shot several people in a restaurant in Dossenheim.  At least three people dead including the shooter.  Five people wounded.

Police say it might have something to do with an argument involving a meeting of local property owners.

To own a gun in Germany you must become licensed by proving you have a need to own a gun, such as hunting, target shooting or collection. Believe it or not, needing a gun for personal protection is only accepted in exceptional circumstances!

You must go through criminal and mental background checks to get licensed.  A gun training course is required.

All personally owned guns must be registered with the government, your gun will be stamped with a government ID mark.  You must have a dealers license to sell your gun.  How you store your gun is dictated by federal and state rules.

Open carry of a gun requires a permit.  Fully automatic guns are illegal for personal possession. Ownership of semi-automatic assault type guns, and handguns, requires special government approval.  Armor-piercing, incendiary and expanding ammunition is illegal for personal use.  Breaking a gun law will get you 10 years in prison.

However, European Union rules also apply, so in reality Germans must deal with state, federal and EU anti-gun laws.

Between 1990 and 2009 Germany destroyed more than 2-million personal guns.

It’s reported that a semi-auto version of the low velocity AK-47 assault rifle sells for $1300 USD in Germany, which is outrageous for a gun that’s not that accurate (it’s main attributes are that it is incredibly easy to maintain and use)!

Despite Germany’s anti-gun laws, officials admit there are an estimated 17-million illegally owned guns in Deutschland!
