THen it's probably best I can't read it. My blood pressure medication can only take so much.

So I just returned a call from a Capital reporter. She was asking if I was going to attend tomorrow night's Public Hearing on the GVTF's Preliminary Report.
What Public Hearing??
I told her this was a first-heard for me.( I do have another meeting.) I told her it would probably be fruitless. The Task Force never really wanted to hear from hunters, collectors, or self defense advocates.
I told her the meeting, like all other meetings, would severely limit the public comment time.
She asked if I'd read the Capital column by County Councilman Volke. He wrote about his experience as a "gun owner" <SHOCKED FACE> on the Task Force. Yes, I told her, there were gun owners on the task force, but no advocates for gun owners, no hunters, no collectors, no target shooters.
She asked what I thought about Mr. Volke's resolution declaring suicide as a public health crisis. Whoop-de-doo. The resolution was opposed by the executive and the County health officer, It does nothing.
AAMC Belcher Pavilion, 6-8, Wednesday, 2/12.

Article in today's Capital quotes some idiot. The hearing still sounds fruitless.
Now if we could only get unborn babies from killing themselves then we would look like we cared ...SMH at these idiots that want to save lives and ignore deaths by the thousands and even millions over the years .

Thank you hodgepodge for your unflagging attention to this Constitutional menace: nutcase leftists searching for ways to use County and State government power to blame and punish law-abiding gun owners for the crime sprees of DemocRats.
We are grateful to hodgepodge, Patriot Picket members and others in our MDS community for attending these monthly meetings from the very first, and forcing the AACo GVP Task Farce into what little transparency there was in their DemocRat anti-gun owner kabuki theater.
Hodgepodge is primarily responsible for the extensive passage addressing our 2A concerns in this article out today (see below):

The last Task Farce “public hearing” is tonight; please attend if you can:

Sorry, ladies and gents, I couldn't make it this evening. Any insight on the rubber-stamping process?

I can guess.
Nobody is out to take your guns. We just need to restrict your ability to buy, own, sell, or use them. Some Mom's did a study. Suicide is a mental health crisis. (OK, it is.) But guns are bad.
Anyway, we made progress planning a men's retreat for church.

Love it! "Inalienable" doesn't mean that. "Shall not be infringed" doesn't mean that.
Yes, Chief, we know your politics.
Yes, Chief, we know your politics.
What is his interpretation of tar and feathers?

Great job to Hodgepodge, HillyBillyGrandpa, Migraineman and others for making the effort. I attended about half of these meetings and the task force clearly resisted all pro 2A input. This is where calling them out in an open forum forces them to a least give the appearance we are being heard. I do think some people observed that we are not the problem. One LEO admitted that no further gun restrictions will make a difference.

Chief Altomare, the right-removal isn't the default setting of the US Constitution. It's only removed after accusal, due-process, conviction, and ultimately exhaustion of appeals (i.e. "more due process.") And the right - freedom, property, liberty, life - is only removed in response to some action ... which usually deprived someone else of their rights to same.
I have no right to life in aaco? Well that’s new.

Thanks for the info everyone. I was not well aware of the task force and the developments. I do not live in AACO but I DO like to be aware of the angles that people are using to take our guns. No pro-gunners at the head table. Hats off to those pro-gunners that DID attend and made your voices heard.

All of what is happening now across the country is a direct result of the disastrous Heller case. Sure, the court's opinion gave gun owners a small victory allowing us to own a handgun...in our homes...but it also affirmed that the 2nd amendment was not an unlimited right and would continue to be regulated...a GIANT loophole for the gun grabbers to do what they want to us...we were better off before..there is a lesson in there for those who put their faith in the court. It's clear to many of us that unless you are willing to fight your rights will eventually be taken..sure you can have a handgun in your home...but the courts opinion left enough Gray area that they could make it impossible to legally buy ammo for them. The liberals in Virginia even referenced Heller as the reason they were "allowed" to pass their tyrannical new laws...I know many of you think Heller was huge for the 2nd amendment..that's pure crap..
Not to be that simple but the Chief is a dickhead. Ed Hershon and I were talking to him after one of the meetings and he flat out said that he knew that they were unpopular but the Red Flag law was saving his officer's lives.
Because prior to passage there had been a huge problem with line of duty deaths in AACO, all of two in the 83 year history of the department.
Chump.
