This is Stokes County North Carolina!!!!! And it was just a WINTER STORM! It doesn't matter though, it is UN-CONSTITUTIONAL!

Apparently the mayor is a gun ban libtard. If this can happen here, it can happen anywhere. It is unconstitutional and we let this go, imagine what they will do if there is really a national emergency, when you might (will) need your weapons to protect yourself and your family.

Please do not let this pass without calling or faxing and letting them know that is unconstitutional, unacceptable and that we are all watching. If you have not already contacted them, please do!!

The Bill Of Rights - Amendment II

A well established Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

A snowstorm does not constitute reason to restrict any use of firearm used within the limits of the law by anyone with a conceal carry permit carrying concealed or not at all by qualified legal resident gun owners in the case of open carry. This is based on North Carolina gun laws.

What you are doing is unconstitutional!!

If your desire is to keep your people and their property safe…why is it the first thing you do is to “legally” deny the God given rights protected by the Constitution of the United States, to the very residents of your state to protect themselves and their families?

Let's light up his phone line and educated this moron on the Constitution.

Fax him/them copies of the Bill of Rights. Folks this is a small town. It is not a crime ridden inner-city hellhole.

This is not an isolated incident. A few months ago, the National Association for Gun Rights first broke another incredible tale out of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Welcome to Shreveport: Your rights are now suspended.

According to Cedric Glover, mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, his cops "have a power that [. . .] the President of these Unites States does not have": His cops can take away your rights.

And would you like to guess which rights he has in mind?
Just ask Shreveport resident Robert Baillio, who got pulled over for having two pro-gun bumper stickers on the back of his truck -- and had his gun confiscated.

While the officer who pulled him over says Baillio failed to use his turn signal, the only questions he had for Baillio concerned guns: Whether he had a gun, where the gun was, and if he was a member of a pro-gun organization.

No requests for a driver's licence, proof of insurance, or vehicle registration -- and no discussion of a turn signal.
Accordingly, Baillio told the officer the truth, which led the police officer to search his car without permission and confiscate his gun.

However, not only does Louisiana law allow residents to drive with loaded weapons in their vehicles, but Mr. Baillio possessed a concealed carry license!

What does such behavior demonstrate, other than transparent political profiling -- going so far as to use the infamous Department of Homeland Security report on "Americans of a rightwing persuasion" as a how-to guidebook, no less?

Mr. Baillio made no secret of his political affiliations: An American flag centers a wide flourish of pro-freedom stickers and decals on his back windshield.

In fact, when Baillio asked the officer if everyone he pulls over gets the same treatment, the officer said no and pointed to the back of his truck.

Baillio phoned Mayor Glover to complain about this "suspension of rights" only to find that his city's morbidly obese "commander in chief" was elated at the story: According to Glover, Baillio got "served well, protected well, and even got a consideration that maybe [he] should not have gotten."

Thankfully, Mr. Baillio recorded a good bit of that phone call. You can watch a video with the transcriptions here.

Remember: “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." --Thomas Jefferson This idea of banning gun and ammo sales or confiscating guns is a Progressive type of move supported by Eric Holder and the present administration. It is also a tactic used by dictators everywhere in the world.

And here’s a little photo of our own Janet Napolitano. Guess her opinion on guns doesn’t apply to herself?!?
