Apparently the testimony of Sandy Hook father Bill Stevens wasn’t as easy todeceptively edit as Neil Heslin’s; otherwise you would see this plastered across the authoritarian media:
A video of a father, Bill Stevens, whose daughter attended Sandy Hook Elementary school, scene of the mass shooting in December, is making its rounds today of his testimony against gun control at a Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on gun violence prevention.
The little sister of a friend of his daughter Victoria was murdered, not by an “assault weapon” or any other inanimate object but by the evil freak Adam Lanza.
Stevens read part from the state’s constitution on the right to bear arms in self-defense and told the panel, “These rights are inalienable and endowed by our creator, not you politicians.”
From his testimony:
“But criminals and tyrants — tyrants, especially — be aware that lockdown is not an option at the Stevens residence. And 911 will be dialed after the security of my home has been established.
“Why is that same security my daughter enjoys at home with her dad not available at school in Newtown? That is what you should be considering, not making her dad a criminal.
“Charlton Heston made the phrase ‘From my cold dead hands’ famous and I will tell you here today, you will take my ability to protect my Victoria from my cold dead hands.”
Victoria is very lucky to have a true American for a father.
The 2nd Amendment is in place to discourage dictators and protect the Bill of Rights and Constitution.

The Founding Fathers agree: an armed population makes good government. Numerous quotes from the revolutionary era make their intent extremely clear — that individuals were meant to keep and bear arms for the protection of the country and the defense of its Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The Preamble to the Bill of Rights explicitly states that these amendments to the Constitution were put in place to restrain the federal government and discourage abuse. Ratified Dec. 15, 1791, it reads:
“THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution. “
Meanwhile, history has shown that disarmed populations and dictators always go hand in hand, with abusers and seekers of power preferring a people unable to stand up for their rights and easy to trample and dominate.
Our birthright as Americans is at stake: if we don’t stand up to defend the 2nd Amendment, we stand to let all our other precious rights slip away, from freedom of speech on down.

“If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying — that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 — establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” – Orrin Hatch, “The Right to Keep and Bear Arms”

Obama’s shameless exploitation of children as set pieces is hardly new or original. In fact, tyrants and dictators have used kids as props down through the ages.
Here are a few more recent examples:
The Soviet Union’s Joseph Stalin
China’s Mao Zedong
Germany’s Adolf Hitler
Cuba’s Fidel Castro
North Korea’s Kim Il-sung
Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez
Dictator Obama Exploiting the Children for Executive Action on Gun Control
Notice the injuries in his mug shot? I’m surprised his left ear is stll there. Consistantly despicable reporting (if you can call that reporting)
New number to try:
TN Veterans Affairs Office
Director John Keyes
615-741-4790
Asst. Director Don Samuels
Here’s something everyone can do right now. Call this number plus the ones below and demand a resolution to this criminal activity before LC Fitzpatrick suffers the same fate as the Monroe County elections official, Jim Miller (found shot to death, in the trunk of his car, by a MC Deputy). Start with the Knoxville FBI– TN FBI Phone: (865) 544-0751. Fax: (865) 544-3590.
The powers that be are completely out of control and it will only get worse unless and until you say “NO MORE”.
The time is now to take your stand. Take it in Monroe County, TN. Yes you can wait till after Nov. 2nd but after that it is time for all of us, from all over the country, to TAKE A STAND! Bogus arrest, Bogus justice with evil intent
I need a thousand people a day to be there until Lt. Cmdr. Fitzpatrick is released and his original complaint of treason against the usurper addressed. Who among you will put fear and your own self interest aside to fight in this noble cause?
This will be your legacy to your children and your childrens children.
