Law would fire sheriffs for defying gun control measures
Washington Examiner ^ | March 27, 2013 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/27/2013 1:04:06 PM PDT by Free in Texas

Supporters of the 380 sheriffs in 15 states who so far have vowed to defy new state and federal gun control laws claim that legislation is starting to pop up around the nation to fire any state elected or appointed law enforcement official who doesn't obey federal orders.

The first effort emerged in Texas. Legislation proposed by Dallas Democratic Rep. Yvonne Davis would remove any sheriff or law enforcement officer who refuses to enforce state or federal laws.

What's more, it would remove any elected or appointed law enforcement officer for simply stating or signing any document stating that they will not obey federal orders.

A gun lobbyist told Secrets, "Beware because once something like this is introduced in one state, it will be followed very quickly in several other states."

Secrets has charted the growing group of sheriffs opposed to new gun control initiatives. They argue that citizens should be allowed by buy the types of weapons they want to defend themselves. They also claim that there is no way to tell the difference between old rifle and pistol magazines and new ones that President Obama wants to ban.

You have been misinformed. Molon lave means ‘come and get them.’ A FReeper told me that a Greek friend of his confirmed that that is the correct spelling.

In Greek it is:

I don't know how you go from Beta to a "V".

The Firing Line

If you guys are really interested in a debate on it there is one on that forum.

I don't know how you go from Beta to a "V".

Here is what one poster said about that...

My mother is Greek and I speak the language fluently.

What most people don't realize is the Greek alphabet doesn't have a "B" sound. "Beta" is pronounced "Veeta".

That's why the Greek word for Beer is pronounced "Beera" but is spelled (substituting English letters here) the equivalent of "MPyra" because the mu-pi (MP) sound is the closest thing to "B" in the language.

So that's how you go from Beta to V.

Interesting the claim that all the decades of Greek Alphabet tables are wrong...

And from your link, the next two posts read:

Yes, Greek doesn’t have a b sound now . 2500 years ago beta was pronounced as a b. Ask anyone who knows classical Greek.

- - - - -

You’re quite right- the ancient pronunciation would have been like a “B”.

However, as you can see from this site, there are additional complications...

Then it is a "B", not a "V".

Not in English script. Or is it a 'Λ' and not an 'L?'

Beta is represented in english script as B.

Lamda is represented in english script as L.

“Why are these people helping Obama disarm America and what’s in it for them?”

Lessens the chances of an uprising on the Federal Plantation by the wards who are her constituents as they will continue to be fed, housed, doctored and given spending money by the Gov’t. thus ensuring her and her politico colleagues a dedicated voter base.

And yet here on a website where you have to speak Greek to even belong they spell it Molon Lave and it's the name of the website. But you know more than they do I'm sure. LOL

That's because all radical state legislation or local ordinances are written by lawyers in left-wing think tanks, many funded by George Soros.

But just who does she think will “fire” those bullets? Once the “firerors” are known, their families will be toast!

. . . and I suppose they know that because archaeologists were able to locate ancient Greek CDs and working CD players in order to document this?

“This won’t even get a hearing in committee.”

Actually that’s too bad. Forcing the White RATs in the Texas Legislature ( who are not necessarily in safe districts) to vote up or down on this kind of legislation might be a good thing.

If they pass these laws, we need to beat them over the head with illegal immigration until we get enforcement or firings of the ‘rat and RINO sheriffs. Right now we need to let them know that we will do so.
