John Kerry and the Second Amendment Sheriff Mike Cook
This week let me tell you about the worst kind of hypocritical behavior. This Sunday on John Greshams Gun Talk Radio Show the Director of the Second Amendment Foundation called in to make a very disturbing report. It seems that they have confirmed that John Kerry has a Chinese AK-47 hanging on his wall in his office in Boston. It seems that this is a weapon that he brought back from Vietnam with him as a war souvenir. This raises all kinds of questions for me and should for you. First of all many of these weapons were full automatic weapons which unless you have a tax stamp from the BATF are illegal to posses as of the 1934 Machine Gun Act. As this weapon would have had to been smuggled illegally into this country there is no way to get the tax stamp for it.
According to the conversation on this radio program this weapon is also illegal to have in the State of Massachusetts. As I'm not familiar with the laws of that state I can't say for sure. However if that is the case it sounds to me like John Kerry has committed several felony violations of the law.
This all from the person who has voted to remove these weapons from you hands not once but twice. Even if this weapon is of the semi-automatic kind he still wants it made a law that you can't have one. Talk about your hypocritical flip flop this is one that is slapping you and I right in the face.
I don't know about you but it makes me mad that someone who wants to be President of the United States feels that he or she is above the law that we must all follow. The very same person that has been endorsed by all the anti-gun groups and all the environmental and animal rights groups. Makes you wonder what their real agenda is doesn't it? I wonder how many illegal weapons Sara Brady and that bunch have in there offices and homes. I guess it's OK for them but not for us no good, unwashed subjects of the America they want or see a perfect for them only.
I guess Laura Ingraham was right when she called them elitists who think they know what is best for the rest of us stupid people who need to be told how to live our lives.
The way I look at it is that they have figured out that the only way to control the unwashed masses is to disarm us and then only they will have firearms with which to control all of us. This is why our Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment in our Constitution. Not only should these people be charged with the obvious crime they should be charge with treason.
You should think real hard about these issues when you vote this November, even if you dislike our President George W. Bush. He may not be perfect but at least he is making the effort to maintain our security and rights here in America. I sure can't say the same for John Kerry and his friend in the anti-gun crowd.
Right now we are into my favorite time of the year, Hunting Season. Many of us here in America will go out into the back country of this great land of ours and exercise not only a sport but our way of life and a passion that we have to enjoy the freedoms of being an American. In many nations in the world this is something that can be enjoyed only by the chosen and the common people are not allowed to hunt and fish much less own a firearm for protection and sport.
I know there are people who don't own a firearm who don't care to own one, however this right is even important to them because it allows them all the other freedoms that they do enjoy. So they must also be very concerned about those who would remove this right because the other rights will fall one by one when this right goes away. Please remember this when you vote. Bush needs to have four more years.
God Bless America and God Bless our troops still in harms way.

Does he deer hunt with it, crawling along on his belly in the underbrush?
Well now, that one would be a full auto version, wouldn't it? I wonder if he pays his yearly dues?
As best I understand MA gun laws, AK-47s are banned within the Boston city limits. As are a host of other...ahem...assault weapons for that matter. But I don't think they are banned state-wide.
If it is semi auto it is NOT an AK-47 but it falls under the mis label 'assault rifle' or the even more inaccurate assault weapon label...which Kerry may legally own but probably not in Boston or Mass.
It would be great to see John F Kerry get his comeuppance for his plethora of crimes against veterans, the US Navy and the USA
Peons, serfs, and vassals (aka the unter menchen among John F Kerry's most kindred spirits) must remember that the elite and demi royalty are immune from prosecution and above the laws reserved for their underlings and servants...It's the Euro way.
But it was never intended to, nor should it ever be, the American way
imo
Laws don't apply to the Liberal Elite.
s,
Presumably not with that weapon, but he has made that very claim before- crawling on his belly in the underbrush, hunting deer. He claims to have seen a 16-point buck somewhere on Cape Cod.
According to Howie Carr, Cape area sportsmen have never heard of a buck that size on the Cape.
Last time I checked the state of MA, does not allow ownership of any select-fire weapons whatsoever.
He also broke the law by bringing a select-fire weapon home from Nam.
These crimes, if true, will end his presidential bid.
We need everyone to contact all news outlets on this one.
C
He's claimed to go deer hunting with his trusty double-barrel 12-gauge, so I was just wondering about the AK-47. ;o)
And the fascist-marxist loving propaganda serving main stream media will never in a million years hold Monsieur Kerry's feet to the fire on any of his lies or many other transgressions..
Only the Internet and a handfull of media outlets will pursue the truth...
So naturally the FCC acting in the best interests of the propagandists over the tax payers
wants to shut this down...
Home shopping channel stuff on 'the net' will be ok...but no exposing our so called leaders or public officals
mafia on the hill....
IMO
Some weapons were allowed back into the states as legitimate "war souveniers" these weapons had to be processed thry the Military Police and rendered permanantly inoperative (a paperweight for the mantel) ATF paperwork for such decommissioned weapons was provided to the person claiming it as spoils of war.
If the Kerry weapon is in that class it should be easily proven by coming up with the ATF forms. Such "weapons" are no longer guns as they absolutely positively cannot be fired.
I was an Army Military Customs Cop and processed many such weapons so they could be shipped back to the ststes with the service member's other personnel effects.
After his revealing comment in the Field and Stream interview about his Chinese assualt rifle being his favorite weapon, the campaign backtracked.
First, they admitted that an aide had filled out the interview questionaire (those pesky aides again), then that the so-called assault weapon was actually a single shot bolt operated rifle with no markings from China.
So far, no offers from Kerry to come out on the front porch with it.
s,
Seems like just another case of owning it before he didn't own it.
Or something.
This woudl be great... if true. Sadly, there is far too much second-hand info here. It needs to be confirmed, preferably photographically, and even more preferbly... video.
Yes they are.
Oh, and don't forget his "favorite weapon," the Chinese assault rifle that he said he has before he said he didn't have it.
My father in law had to take weeks to get the permits to get a 22 target pistol, he lives in Mass. An AK-47 is a felony in that state.
