Background Investigation… Permission Denied

PI2013 #198 – Background Investigation… Permission Denied

“Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal” ~ Janet Reno

Liberty Lovers,

 

http://www.usdebtclock.org: Every American Taxpayer Now “Owes” “The (federal) State” $147,455, every citizen $52,918.

 

“I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.” ~ Barack Obama

Background Investigations Would Be a more than convenient tool for denying ‘suspicious people’ personal firearm ownership.  ‘Government’ (“State”) officials need only lace investigation criteria with caveats deemed sufficiently threatening to stop people from buying guns.

“If someone is so fearful that, that they’re going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all!”  ~ Representative Henry A. Waxman (courtesy an AAH reader)

Background Investigation Criteria Can’t be expected to favor gun buyer applicants.  Background investigations, by their very nature, would be designed to prohibit, not promote gun ownership.  People on record opposing “State” policies could be deemed ‘dangerous.’

 

“Arms are the only true badge of liberty.” ~  Andrew Fletcher

Background Investigation Information, Regardless how public officials would promise otherwise, could never be guaranteed private.  Once a matter of record, always a matter of record, no matter how public officials would promise post-purchase purging.

“If we make enough laws, we can all be criminals.” ~  Jeff Snyder

Background Investigations Would Be tantamount to registration.  Registration makes confiscation easier.  Gun control zealots are intent on control, vis-à-vis confiscation… namely, ownership obliteration.

“If you don’t have a gun, freedom of speech has no power.” ~  Yoshimi Ishikawa

People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to prohibit or restrict private ownership of firearms and ammunition from any citizen of good repute and responsible standing. They preserve their heritage to protect themselves from crime and tyranny.

Rep Daryl Metcalfe hosts 2013 annual “Wings and Fries” fundraiser

wings and friesMarch 8, 2013

Dear Friend,

On Election Day, November 6, 2012, I spent the day visiting with voters as I traveled from poll to poll.  I was surprised by a young woman who approached me outside of a Cranberry poll to tell me that she wants to run against me, but that she was not ready yet.  Her aggressive actions that day reinforce the reality that in a two year election cycle, the campaign never stops if one hopes to be victorious.

I was sworn into my new term of office on New Year’s Day this year.

If all elected officials abided by their oath of office, to defend the Constitution, then the future of the U.S.A. would not be at risk.  We are witnessing continuous violations of our Constitution and our rights by Obama and his comrades.  Obama’s accomplices are also attempting to advance his leftist agenda at the state and local level of our government.

The Constitution limits the power and role of our government.  Our state government should stand up against the unconstitutional expansion of federal power and change policies to improve our own economy.  I am fighting to reduce state spending, debt and taxes.  I am working with colleagues in an effort to stop the increased spending that Obamacare will cause through state health exchanges and an expansion of Medicaid.   I have introduced bills to protect marriage, defend our 2nd Amendment “right to bear arms,” and make Pennsylvania a “Right to Work” state.  I am also working to advance legislation that will reform government pensions, eliminate excessive regulations, defund abortionist groups like Planned Parenthood, and stop teacher strikes.

I need your help in the fight to defend our Constitution, our liberties, our values and our pockets.  Our annual “Wings and Fries”  fundraiser will be at Quaker Steak and Lube in Cranberry Twp. on Monday, March 25, 2013 from 5:30pm-8pm.

Would you consider sponsoring our “Wings and Fries” event for $250?

If you are not able to sponsor, the admission price is $25 per adult and $5 for your children ages 5-12. Children under 5 are free.

If you cannot attend the event, please consider sending a contribution to help make it a success.

I invite you to join with me in the fight to protect hardworking taxpayers.  Please send your response by Friday, March 22, 2013 to:

Friends for Daryl Metcalfe, P.O. Box 1536, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066.

For Liberty,

Daryl Metcalfe

State Representative
