My arguments for CCW reciprocity

---

I'm a member on a national pro-gun forum and one of the issues ardently discussed there is passing of a Federal Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) reciprocity law as promised by Trump during his Presidential campaign .

To my amazement, a sizable percentage of gun forum contributors (those living in free States with less gun regulations) oppose such a law on the premise that once the Federal Govt regulates CCW issuance by law, when the next Democrat majority Congress takes charge it can use the same law to restrict CCW issuance nationally.

Here is my response to them (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of the points):



Here is why I believe it is not only defeatist but also stupid to reject a nationwide CCW reciprocity:

1. To my knowledge (I may be wrong so please correct me if I am) out of 50 States there are only 4 that have "may issue" CCW laws: California, New York, New Jersey and Hawaii.
The rest of 46 states either have "shall issue" laws or "constitutional carry"
In the past decade the trend towards CCW carry policies in 46 states was and continues toward liberalization, not restriction. That liberalization happened during both GW Bush and Obama administrations and it wasn't opposed by Democrats at Federal level even during the 2 years time they had a super-majority. The Dems could have easily passed an anti CCW law (just as the chicken littles here are afraid of), but they didn't. They remember what happened when Clinton passed a Federal AWB law and they are afraid of a backlash 3 times as big if they mess with the right to carry.

2. Being afraid "the Dems will use CCW reciprocity to push for federal restrictions when they regain majority" is not only a defeatist but also quite stupid attitude.
Why?
Because they could do it just as well without a reciprocity law. They could do it the same as they already did with Obamacare a couple of years back. Meaning they could pass a federal law regulating and transforming the permit issuing policy from shall issue to may issue. This will have precedence over the 50 States laws. But they know (just like they are about to learn very soon with the Obamacare fiasco) that a law rammed down our throats without the slightest bi-partisan support will be repealed the moment Republicans gain the mahority and the White House again. And the political damage they do to themselves for practically nothing but a law that is guaranteed to be repealed in a couple of years, isn't just worth the risk.

3. We are practically just a month and a half away from a new SCOTUS nomination that will give our side a 5-4 pro-gun Court again. It also is extremely likely the oldest and most anti-gun Judge Ginsburg will either retire or croak within the next 4 years (she's 83 and in poor health). That will give us a solid 6-3 majority. It's very unlikely any anti CCW law passed by a Dem majority after Trump leaves the White House will stand SCOTUS scrutiny in a Court solidly dominated by conservatives.

4. We need to be bold and relentlessly push our agenda just as the our enemies are. You will never, ever hear the anti-2nd Amendment activist pigs saying "we mustn't push for new laws because in the future the NRA and the gun zealots may turn around our legislative initiatives to their gain" This just never happen. They have an objective: gun control (and eventually total gun confiscation) and they just keep on going at it day after day, year after year during Democrat administrations or Republican administrations.

5. California has the second highest number of gun owners in the US (after Texas). Think about the immense benefits for the national gun rights movement when millions of law abiding Californians will be able to carry concealed, and the streets will NOT run red with rivers of blood (just as it happened everywhere else in the US). What arguments will the Pelosis and Boxers and Schumers and the rest of of the anti-gun scumbags in DC will have when trying to pass a Federal law restricting CCW issuance? Stop gun violence perpetrated by legal CCW-ers? Doesn't happen, statistics prove citizens who carry concealed are less prone to break the law than even LEOs! Turn California shall issue and the facts will speak louder than any anti-gunners arguments.

6. The lucky stars of gun rights are in perfect alignment for us. We have majority in both Houses, a pro-gun President AND very soon a pro-gun SCOTUS Judges majority. We mustn't leave this opportunity pass us by, just because in the future the Democrats may or may not take advantage. Again, we need to be bold, to be brazen and to relentlessly push our agenda just like our enemies do. Actually, to quote the great Andrew Breibart: if liberals push you, you need to push back twice as hard.

Ishaq:326 “Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean.’”

Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” Qur’an 7:3 “Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them.”

Ishaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’ He used to say this of every town he raided.”

Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”

Bukhari:V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.’” Ishaq:517 “Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s squadron, fully armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.” Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home.”


Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.” Tabari VIII:129 “After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak.” Tabari VIII:138 “Muhammad carried arms, helmets, and spears. He led a hundred horses, appointing Bahir to be in charge of the weapons and Maslamah to be in charge of the horses. When the Quraysh received word of this, it frightened them.” Qur’an 33:26 “Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.” Qur’an 59:2 “It was Allah who drove the [Jewish] People of the Book from their homes and into exile. They refused to believe and imagined that their strongholds would protect them against Allah. But Allah came at them from where they did not suspect, and filled their hearts with terror. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson, O men who have eyes. This is My warning…they shall taste the torment of Fire.” Qur’an 33:60 “If the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbors. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy—a fierce slaughter—murdered, a horrible murdering.” Bukhari:V4B52N256 “The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.’” Ishaq:576 “Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward. Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We were glorified and destroyed them all. Allah humiliated them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle’s squadron advanced into the fray.” Ishaq:580 “Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah’s religion is undeniably strong. You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the MUHAMMAD’S OWN WORDS xi sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle’s order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior’s blow. Often we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated husband. ’Tis Allah, not man we seek to please.” Tabari IX:69 “He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for those who disbelieve, we will fight them forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing them is a small matter to us.” Bukhari:V5B59N516 “When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised ourvoices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’” Ishaq:281 “The Raid on Waddan was the first Maghazi [invasion]. The Expedition of Harith was second. They encountered a large number of Quraysh in the Hijaz. Abu Bakr composed a poem about the raid: ‘When we called them to the truth they turned their backs and howled like bitches. Allah’s punishment on them will not tarry. I swear by the Lord of Camels [Allah?] that I am no perjurer. A valiant band will descend upon the Quraysh which will leave women husbandless. It will leave men dead, with vultures wheeling round. It will not spare the infidels.’” Tabari VII:11 “In this year the Messenger entrusted to Sa’d a white war banner for the expedition to Kharrar. Sa’d said, ‘I set out on foot at the head of twenty men. We used to lie hidden by day and march at night.” Bukhari:V5B59N569 “I fought in seven Ghazwat battles along with the Prophet and fought in nine Maghazi raids in armies dispatched by the Prophet.” Bukhari:V5B59N401 “Allah’s Wrath became severe on anyone the Prophet killed in Allah’s Cause.” Bukhari:V5B59N456 “Muhammad led the Fear Prayer [Allahu Akbar!] with one batch of his army while the other (batch) faced the enemy.” Bukhari:V5B59N440 “Allah’s Apostle used to say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone because He honored His Warriors and made His Messenger victorious. He defeated the clans; so there is nothing left.’” Ishaq:287 “The Muslim raiders consulted one another concerning them. One of the Muslims said, ‘By Allah, if we leave these people alone, they will get safely out of our reach.’” Tabari VII:19 “They hesitated and were afraid to advance, but then they plucked up courage and agreed to kill as many as they could and to seize what they had with them. Waqid shot an arrow at Amr and killed him. Uthman and al-Hakam surrendered. Then Waqid and his companions took the caravan and the captives back to Allah’s Apostle in Medina. This was the first booty taken by the Companions of Muhammad.” Tabari VII:20/Ishaq:288 “The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad and his Companions have violated the sacred month, shed blood, seized property, and taken men captive.’ The polytheists spread lying slander concerning him, saying, ‘Muhammad claims that he is following obedience to Allah, yet he is the first to violate the holy month and to kill our people.’” Ishaq:288 “When the Qur’an passage concerning this matter was revealed, and Allah relieved Muslims from their anxiety, Muhammad took possession of the caravan and prisoners. The xii TERRORISM Quraysh sent him a ransom and the Prophet released the prisoners on payment. Tabari VII:29/Ishaq:289 “The Apostle heard that Abu Sufyan [a Meccan merchant] was coming from Syria with a large caravan containing their money and their merchandise. He was accompanied by only thirty men.” Ishaq:289 “Muhammad summoned the Muslims and said, ‘This is the Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out and attack it. Perhaps Allah will give it to us as prey.” Tabari VII:29 “Abu Sufyan and the horsemen of the Quraysh were returning from Syria following the coastal road. When Allah’s Apostle heard about them he called his companions together and told them of the wealth they had with them and the fewness of their numbers. The Muslims set out with no other object than Sufyan and the men with him. They did not think that this raid would be anything other than easy booty.” Bukhari:V5B59N702 “Allah did not admonish anyone who had not participated in the Ghazwa [raid] of Badr, for in fact, Allah’s Apostle had only gone out in search of the Quraysh caravan so that he could rob it. But Allah arranged for the Muslims and their enemy to meet by surprise.’” Tabari VII:29 “They did not suppose that there would be a great battle. Concerning this Allah revealed a Qur’an: Qur’an 8:7 ‘Behold! Allah promised you that one of the two parties would be yours. You wished for the unarmed one, but Allah willed to justify His truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the unbelievers.’” Ishaq:290 “Some Meccans got up to circumambulate the Ka’aba…. Sitting around the mosque, they wondered why they had allowed this evil rascal to attack their men.” Ishaq:294 “The Apostle was afraid the Ansar would not feel obliged to help him fight without the enemy being the aggressor and attacking in Medina. Sa’d said, ‘We hear and obey. We are experienced in war, trustworthy in combat. Allah will let us show you something that will bring you joy. The Apostle was delighted at Sa’d’s words which greatly encouraged him. Muhammad shouted, ‘It is as if I see the enemy lying prostrate.’” Bukhari:V5B59N330/Ishaq:300 “Here is Gabriel holding the rein of a horse and leading the charge. He is equipped with his weapons and ready for the battle. There is dust upon his front teeth.” Bukhari:V5B59N327 “Gabriel came to the Prophet and said, ‘How do you view the warriors of Badr?’ The Prophet said, ‘I see the fighters as the best Muslims.’ On that, Gabriel said, ‘And so are the Angels who are participating in the Badr battle.’” Tabari VII:55 “Allah’s Messenger went out to his men and incited them to fight. He promised, ‘Every man may keep all the booty he takes.’ Then Muhammad said, ‘By Allah, if any man fights today and is killed fighting aggressively, going forward and not retreating, Allah will cause him to enter Paradise.’ Umayr said, ‘Fine, fine. This is excellent! Nothing stands between me and my entering Paradise except to be killed by these people!’ He threw down the dates, seized his sword, and fought until he was slain.” Tabari VII:56 “‘Messenger of Allah, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at his servant?’ He replied, ‘When he plunges his hand into the midst of an enemy without armor.’ So Auf took off the coat of mail he was wearing and threw it away. Then he took his sword and fought.” Ishaq:301 “Muhammad picked up a handful of pebbles and faced the Quraysh. He shouted, ‘May their faces be deformed!’ He threw the pebbles at them and ordered his companions MUHAMMAD’S OWN WORDS xiii to attack. The foe was routed. Allah killed Quraysh chiefs and caused many of their nobles to be taken captive. While the Muslims were taking prisoners, the Messenger was in his hut.” Bukhari:V5B59N290 “The Prophet said, ‘The believers who failed to join the Ghazwa of Badr and those who took part in it are not equal in reward.” Bukhari:V5B59N333 “Az-Zubair said, ‘I attacked him with my spear and pierced his eye. I put my foot over his body to pull the weapon out, but even then I had to use great force. Later on Allah’s Apostle asked me for that spear and I gave it to him.’” Ishaq:301 “As the Muslims were laying their hands on as many prisoners as they could catch, the Prophet, saw disapproval in the face of Sa’d. He said, ‘Why are you upset by the taking of captives?’ Sa’d replied, ‘This was the first defeat inflicted by Allah on the infidels. Slaughtering the prisoners would have been more pleasing to me than sparing them.’” Tabari VII:59 “At Badr I passed Umayyah as he was standing with his son Ali, holding his hand. I had with me some coats of mail which I had taken as plunder. Umayyah said, ‘Abd al-Ilah, would you like to take me as a prisoner? I will be more valuable to you as a captive to be ransomed than the coats of mail that you are carrying.’ I said, ‘Yes. Come here then.’ I flung away the armor and bound Umayyah and his son Ali, taking them with me. Muslims encircled us. Then they restrained us physically. One of the Muslims drew his sword and struck Ali in the leg, severing it so that he fell down. Umayyah gave a scream the like of which I have never heard. I said, ‘Save yourself, for there is no escape for your son. By Allah, I cannot save him from these men.’ Then the Muslims hacked Ali to pieces.’”

The Force Awakens. In Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government passed a law banning Communist political Parties as well as any symbols of communism.
I know, this news may upset some brain dead college professors, their students as well as a large portion of low information Obama voters. 

However don't be sad, all of you Progressive-Fascists who are already decrying this act of free speech infringement. There is reason to rejoice!

Scathing anti-Obama article in Romania's largest newspaper

They compare him with Iliescu, Romania's corrupt neo-communist President from the 90's. And believe me, that guy isn't somebody you want to be compared with.

In 1990 Iliescu brought to the capital Bucharest several train loads of miners from the poorest, most uneducated region of Romania. He told these violent brutes that students, university professors, other intellectuals, members of opposition Parties and artists who were gathered in the heart of the capital of Romania for a peaceful anti-communist protest were in fact druggies, fascists and enemies of the State paid by foreign powers to overthrow the Iliescu regime. He asked them to help the police to "clean-up the capital from the traitors and enemies"

What followed is one of the most shameful chapters of Romania post revolution history.

Peaceful protesters were beaten by a mob of thousands of miners with chains, shovels, pickaxes and other tools miners use in their trade; an unknown number of people were killed and buried in unmarked graves; the University of Bucharest was ransacked, rare books burned, scientific research destroyed; headquarters of opposition Parties were looted and burned down; people on the streets were targeted and beaten simply because they wore glasses or a beard, thus they looked like intellectuals or students; women were kidnapped and raped from streets in plain daylight.

Unspeakable horrors happened during those days Romanians now call "The Mineriada" Here are a couple of images from those days:















At the end of three days of terror, President Iliescu gathered the miners who helped him crush the opposition pro-democracy protest and thanked them "for restoring the peace and helping with cleaning an planting trees and flowers in the University Plaza". Here is a propaganda photo:




And now, 25 year later Romania's largest newspaper compares President Obama with Iliescu and draws a parallel between Obama's constant use of racial fomented mob violence to achieve his political goals and Iliescu's 1990 Mineriada.

State Of The Nation and Obama's American Mineriada
When Barack Obama became president, the majority black population of the United States of breathing thrilled and relieved.An African-American, a champion of justice, equality, human rights and do not last, hope for the majority of the globe arrived minority leader of the free world. Merits American executive, catapulted from obscurity to the Oval Office in 24 short months, were exacerbated among others, the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. Rarely in history has a man been so honored and revered, not magnificent achievements or heroics, but for what they might do in the future more or less distant.
This charming character, charismatic and appealing look a rara avis, a combination of Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and Pope Francis. Today, in the fall of 2015, Barak Obama is for many Americans a glorious sunset, another professional politician in the post of head of state, one mediocre and irrelevant to America and the world.Big promises and hopes of 2008 have turned into controversy and repeated failures. The so-called elections "midterm" in 2014, the vast majority of Democratic candidates running for Congress and Senate president stayed away, considering it toxic for the success of their campaigns. Impressive promises made at the beginning of the first mandate remained less settled or not.
Status American nation and the global crises and endless wars are the subject of discussion and some controversy unprecedented. Instead, Barak Obama today is less concerned today debilitating seizures of the United States and the world and totally consumed by his spiritual legacy. Obama reached its obsession with the idea of how history will judge him after his departure from the White House.
In the Oval Office, former senator of Illinois has a reputation as a difficult man, arrogant and stubborn, contrary to all appearances. Defections around him began to grow. A veteran Congress leader, another Democrat confessed that the great success not much Obama will remain the first black president of America and so. Even the Republican author believed that even the racial relations, as Obama will not fail. Unfortunately, he was wrong. In reality, the president Jimmy Carter here, no American leader has presided over a period marked by so many violent uprisings and nationally, most meaningless and reason. Since the devastating riots in Baltimore Maryland at the Ferguson - to Missouri and Illinois Sprinfield anarchic violence, Sanford Oakland California or Florida, the anger of those who are determined to destroy or steal anything that is handy became legendary.
Where found great leader and Barak Obama in national helmsman these barbaric and shameful episodes for America? What was the message President and intervention by those affected or devastated by these tragedies? When a young black man was shot in a scuffle in Sanford Florida in 2012, President Obama identified himself with it promptly, "I could be Trayvon Martin, I could be the victim". Such statement was interpreted as a carte blanche by extremists color. It was more a call to "arms", a new rebellion.Months later, the man who shot Trayvon Martin him, a so-called guardian of the neighborhood, George Zimmerman, was found guilty by a jury which included many African Americans. Meanwhile, 21 people lost their lives because of this incident and the damage amounted to more than 100 million dollars. Unlike most young whites, Asians or Latin Americans in the United States there is a segment of people of color radicalized. They live today in real ghettos and act as if they have nothing to lose. Dispose without property, they can not be expelled from schools or high schools, because a good part of them already abandoned years ago or more are suspended. They can not be dismissed, because many do not work anywhere. The university no longer the question. Their parents are addicted not only social, but even drugs. Most of the women conceived numerous children with different men. These men are often imprisoned themselves, depriving "motivated" to raise children and, especially, to pay alimony. Classic family structure that we know all there is to this social group. This status quo
No real excuse their behavior, but it certainly helps us to understand the next generation perpetuating situation. These young people are convinced that they have a future, that we owe society and state life and their misery is caused by others, specifically by white people. This part of African-American group would have become the top priority of the Obama administration and less normalization of diplomatic relations with the regime in Havana, national health insurance, or state nuclear reactors in Iran.
For Romanians familiar with the country's modern history and living in the US social crisis management in recent years by the White House seem to have a taste of miners in Bucharest. Not because rebels hunted opposition parties and their leaders, but because the degree of barbarity and violence against other Americans expressed Americans resembled those seen in Romania in 1990 and 1991. Romanian President then called "action" on ortacii (brothers) from Jiu Valley, while President Obama through his silence or tendentious comments became complicit in these misdeeds.
By refusing to directly condemn this kind of violence, Barak Obama offered their justification. Mr. Obama has a mission to improve relations implicit racial and social services in the United States. In reality, they have deteriorated to the point where such incidents have become too common and devastating at the same time. The emancipation of the poor, mostly black people and "redistributing" wealth from the wealthy to the needy affected only the lower middle class. Those with middle and low income are taxed more severely nonchalantly now and are pushed into poverty. The rich and super rich remain the same taxes as before, what has not changed their lifestyle and even mood. ObamaCare, mighty insurance plan "for all Americans," sounded from ostentation to adult bankrupted not only Doctors and clinics, but will destroy an entire medical industry soon. Income redistribution and strategy to encourage mediocrity by lowering academic standards in state schools is another coup de grace given current American society.
Barak Obama has perpetuated racism in many ways reversed. With or without intention, we experience it in New York almost daily. Just as friends and colleagues from Washington DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston and Los Angeles. Apathy and hostility, aggression and indifference, all targeted more often than you'd expect primarily by white people (or Asian) of a segment of the black population. Besieged cyberspace by Chinese who steal our daily most precious data and intelligence, tease, feint and threatened shamelessly Russia's Putin terrorized systematically fanaticism of ISIS and Al-Qaida, iacătă state pride America nearly seven years of government Barak Obama. As Romanian-Americans still contemplate repatriation, but if Ronald Reagan were alive today does not recognize the current state of the nation and federation called the United States."

Meet Romanian Catalin John Berenghi: former Foreign Legion Soldier and anti-Islamist badass

Long story short: the radical Islamist Turkish government of President Recep Erdogan offered the unpopular left wing Romanian government a multi-million Euro "donation" for the purpose of building a new mega-mosque in Romania's capital Bucharest. The Romanian government led by the premier Victor (AKA "Mickey Mouse") Ponta, accepted the offer and contributed to the project by allocating a very valuable parcel of land for the construction.

Enters Catalin Ioan (John) Berenghi, age 34.

John Berenghi is a veteran of the French Foreign Legion, successful businessman, passionate amateur historian and overall genuine bad-ass. It is well known they don't accept limp-wristed metrosexual wussies in the French Foreign Legion so as far as I'm concerned, Berenghi's bad ass credentials are impeccable.

Catalin John Berenghi during his days as a French Legionnaire

He, like millions of other Romanians share the collective memory of their country's 450+ years of bloody struggle for freedom from under the yoke of Islam. John Berenghi didn't like the idea of a mega-mosque being built in his country with money sent by the radical Islamist government government of Turkey and decided to take action.

But first, a little bit of history may be needed here so readers will better understand why John Berenghi and his co-nationals have a visceral aversion for Islam: 

For Romanians, Vlad "Dracula" The Impaler isn't a fictional character in a book or a Hollywood movie. He is a real life "voievod" (prince) who battled and despite the size of his minuscule army had won several victories against the mighty Islamic Ottoman Empire who tried repeatedly to invade, subdue and convert his country to Islam. 

"The Night Raid" depicting Vlad the Impaler guerrilla style night time attack on the Turkish troops encampment. The Sultan escaped with his life only because Vlad's scouts misidentified the tent where he was sleeping

To better understand Vlad's military prowess in his fight against the Islamic super-power of the age, here is a fictional scenario: just imagine the present day Chinese Army which is arguably second-best equipped in the world would try to invade a small country like say, Iceland. Only instead of being able to defeat a badly equipped army of Icelandic fishermen ten times smaller than the size of the Chinese invasion force withing days, not only the Icelanders crush the invading Chinese forces, but also storm the their base of operations and attempt to dispatch the Chinese General field commander. Who barely escapes alive from the battlefield only due to sheer luck. 
Vlad's heroism on the battlefield preserved Romanians Christian faith and national identity. For John Berenghi and his co-nationals Vlad's patriotism and tragic death  is somewhat akin to Sparta's King Leonidas ultimate sacrifice.

Adding insult to injury, the land donated by the Romanian government for the construction of the mega-mosque used to belong to Prince Brancoveanu's domains. Another heroic but tragic figure in Romanian history, Prince Brancoveanu who tried to forge anti-Islamic alliances with Western powers of his day was invited to the capital of the Ottoman Empire for talks with the Sultan. Once arrived, he was taken prisoner together with his four sons (youngest only 7 years of age) and his most trusted council. They were all tortured then according to the Sharia law were offered amnesty if they agreed to renounce Christianity and convert to Islam. When all five refused to abandon their Christian faith the Sultan ordered their execution. The Brancoveanu family was put to death by beheading (sounds familiar?), their bodies thrown in the Bosforus strait and their heads put on spikes.
Who said Game of Thrones has no base in real historical events?

Church painting of martyred Prince Brancoveanu and his sons

So the building a mega-mosque funded by Turkish money on the land that belonged to a martyr of Christian faith murdered by the Muslim Ottoman Turks (and officially recognized as a Saint by the Romanian Orthodox Church) is a very bad idea to say the least. More like an insult followed by a spitting in the face of every Romanian citizen and their ancestors.

When the Romanian government announced the building of a mega-mosque funded by the radical Islamist government of Turkey, Catalin John Berenghi took action.

First, he went to a super market, purchased a whole frozen pig and buried it on the land of the future mega-mosque so the land become "unclean" and improper for the construction of a mosque according to the Islamic faith:

When the leftist Romanian government reacted with an official declaration condemning John Berenghi's action, he doubled down by purchasing a herd of pigs, spray painted the Romanian national flag colors (red, yellow and blue) on their backs and released them at the same location:

More government criticism and accusations of "Islamophobia" ensued, so Catalin John Berengi responded by hauling and planting a 1 ton, 100 year old Christian Orthodox stone cross on the land of the disputed future mega-mosque:

And to make his opposition clear, he commissioned and paid for 500 wooden crosses, then posted an invitation on his Facebook page requesting help from fellow Romanians to plant them in the ground and hold a collective prayer.

What else has John Berenghi planned for the future?
He says if the construction is breaking ground and the authorities will prohibit peoples access to the land, he will rent a helicopter, load it with buckets of pig entrails and "bomb" the construction from the air.

I don't have any doubts he will do it and millions of Romanians will love and support him for it.

The latest news: a spokesperson from the Turkish embassy in Bucharest declared in an interview: 

"The subject on the mosque no longer a bilateral issue. We did not force the government to do something against the will of the Romanian people. If the Romanianpeople are against the mosque, we abide by their will. It is a Romanian national issue."


UPDATE 06-24-18

The Mega-Mosque is history. The free lease agreement for the land where the mosque was supposed to be build signed by the Romanian government and the Islamic organization (Muftiat) who was supposed to build the mosque with Turkish money stated "the construction must be finished within 36 months from the date of signing the agreement". The date the agreement was signed: May 29th, 2015.

The original gun toting Tea Party radical

 

H/T: IOTW

My 80% AR rifle build - Kevin De Leon special edition (patent pending)

It fires 300 X 30 cal. clips per second, that is 154.5 times faster than a Apache helicopter minigun. Bullets launched by this ghost gun fly at the incredible speed of warp 9.975
It also incorporates 198,237 patents - the most revolutionary of them is the Klingon cloaking device that makes it a ghost at a push of a bullet button. The high rate of fire and the ghost feature makes this gun highly illegal in the Liberal Borg Quadrant of Kalifornia.



Just in case you have no idea what inspired me to build this evil instrument of death: please watch this video:

Portrait of the Fighter as a Young Man - Full Version, English Subtitles

It's been 3 years since I wrote about this movie and promised you that as soon as I will find it subtitled in English I will post it for your viewing pleasure.

Well, that moment is here. My blog readers now have the opportunity to watch a movie that tells the true story of the longest and hardest fought anti-communist armed resistance in history. 

To recap:

 This is a movie based on the autobiographic book "Pine Trees Break But Never Bend Down" written by a true Romanian legend: anti-communist partisani fighter Ion Gavrilă Ogoranu (1923-2006)

Born in a Romanian family in the Fagaras County, he studied at Radu Negru high school in Fagaras then enrolled in two colleges: the Agronomy College in Cluj and the Academy of Economic sudies in Brasov. He joined the Romanian Armed Forces in the famed 12th Brigade Mountain Hunters (participating in the on the western front campaign against Nazi Germany). He also enrolled at the Military Academy in Campulung.

Ion Gavrila Ogoranu started his career as an anti-communist fighter while still in college. For a decade he was the leader of the "Fagaras" group of partisan (haiduci) fighters. For his role in the anti communist armed resistance he was sentenced to death (twice) in absentia. However, for 27 years the Securitate (KGB's Romanian counterpart) failed to catch up with him - that alone is a record in itself.
Captured in 1976, he was saved from being put to death by the personal intervention of the American President Richard Nixon.

 Enjoy the movie!

Interesting Infographic on How Guns are Being Used by American Citizens Each Year

Found it here

The following info-graphic may cause seizures, nervous breakdowns and suicide thoughts in certain segments of the population such as liberals, collectivists, neo-Marxists, Obama cultists and most Democrat politicians.

Want to steal guns? There's an app for that!

Introducing Gun Geo Marker the creation of gun hating left wing nut and U.C. Sand Diego professor Brett Stalbaum.

The app description:

Geolocate Dangerous Guns and Owners with the Gun Geo Marker. Geolocation means marking dangerous sites on the App's map so that you and others can be aware of the risks in your neighborhood.

The Gun Geo Marker operates very simply, letting parents and community members mark, or geolocate, sites associated with potentially unsafe guns and gun owners. These locations are typically the homes or businesses of suspected unsafe gun owners, but might also be public lands or other locations where guns are not handled safely, or situations where proper rights to own or use any particular type of firearm may not exist.

Electronically marking these locations can help others in the area learn about their geography of risk from gun accidents or violence. No matter what your safety concern with firearms might be, you should feel free to use this tool to provide the most accurate information you can such that others can make their own safety decisions.
As a crowd sourced information tool, the information about dangerous gun sites comes from users.

In other words, if you are a good liberal and suspect your neighbors or in-laws are gun-toting Tea Party type enemies of the State, you can use this application to oust and shame them in public. Not mentioning the fact that they will have a target painted on their back for both, the police and the criminals who are looking to break into homes and steal their guns. Very reminiscent of Stalin's strategy of ousting and eliminating kulaks with the help or the Communist Party faithful during the Holodmor - the 1932-1933 Ukrainian genocide. 

Another earlier creation authored by comrade professor Stalbaum's is an app that assists immigrants to illegally cross the border into the US.
So there you go liberal smartphone users: prof. Stalbaum is offering a complete solution to help with your progressive agenda. Two apps complementing each other, the first one is enabling you to helps criminals smuggle drugs and illegal immigrants into the US, the second one will help the same criminals procure guns by pinpointing homes of gun owners.

Make sure you read the user comments on the app page - they're a riot! Here is just a couple of them:

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with this app. I've staked out three homes listed and once inside found no guns. Its a lot more work going into a gun owners house as you probably know. You have to make sure they're not there or you might get shot. But anyway; nothing. Just a bunch of occupy and socialist worker party fliers. I think someone is punking this app with bad info. Anyway; the cartel was really counting on getting a few rifles now that their usual supplier, the Choomer, disappeared on them. I'll probably have to lay low for awhile myself... No scores and hiding out means no cash for months... thanks for nothing devs.


 Lonnie Heisenburg - July 7, 2013 -

Thank you Gun Geo Maker! After using the app, I discovered that there were dangerous weapons at my local police station. Plenty of ar-47s and ak-5.56s that I'll be avoiding from now on.

 

 speedofix LA - July 8, 2013 -

My name is Jorge Luis Juan Gonzaga and I am an enforcer for Los Burros Muertes, a Mexican drug cartel based in Tijuana BC. Since the unfortunate events of last year when our largest firearms supplier Mr. Attorney General Eric Holder was investigated by the US Congress regarding the joint business venture we had with his representatives from BATF, our supply of US made AK47 and AR15 rifles kind of dried up. You may have heard about this in the media under the name "Fast & Furious". It was a hit that seriously affected our capacity to procure illegal guns from America and the fact that Pres. Obama was himself under suspicion to have been the one who masterminded the entire operation didn't helped either - in particular after he used the power of his office to stop the Congress from subpoenaing documents related to the communications between his advisers and the BATF officials involved in Fast & Furious. As you can imagine we were desperately looking for an alternative source of firearms to replace the ones supplied until last year by Mr. Attorney General Holder. This is when I found this wonderful app. Now I can locate gringo gun owners and steal their guns. Muchas gracias!
