One by one the progressive mayors and college presidents across the south have been chipping away at not only our heritage, but the honor of fallen heroes, many of who died in the great 'War for Southern Independence'. Actually those who would tear down these Confederate Monuments could care less about the statues themselves. It's not about these pieces of stone and bronze stained by the years. It's a power struggle between progressives and conservatives. I thought this was settled, a least for a short while with the election of Donald Trump. I was wrong, and now I fear we are on the losing side once again. Some of us are fighting back. The purpose of this blog is to inform you there is hope. We are attempting to raise funds to erect plaques honoring our fallen Confederate boys in gray. Plaques that will grace the town squares of small towns in the South where they will be welcome. Towns where the voters still have some common sense, unlike those idiots in the large cities and those poor lost young people in our universities. All denotations will be appreciated with the lion's share going to preserve the memory of those who fought and died in that great conflict.

Are Toy Guns Protected by the Second Amendment

This is a real stretch by the ATF. Apparently the ATF has decided to go after toy guns because they have no protection under the Second Amendment. Seizing Airsoft pellet guns because they might easily be converted into a "Machine Gun". What planet are these guys from and what do they really know about firearms. I suspect many are just young kids out of college who never handled a gun until they joined the ATF. I owe several Airsoft guns and the metal they are made of would not with stand more than several rounds of real ammo before the barrel melted down of just exploded. I don't know the caliber of these guns, but most AirSoft guns are .177cal and a few are .22cal. Some Airsoft guns are fully automatic, but the barrel doesn't heat during rapid fire, in fact just the opposite occurs since the pellet guns use CO2 gas and when firing the barrels get colder. I suspect these guys had little else to do and targeted a toy that looked menacing. Just another effort by Obama's Justice Department to make inroads on guns rights because they are having little luck in the federal court system. Yes, now Eric Holder and Barack Hussein can crow to their left base and boast about taking danger "Machine Guns" off the streets of America, while leaving out the fact they were air guns, but then liberal don't know the difference. To them a gun is a gun!


Feds Seize Toys, Call Them 'Machine Guns'
A gun rights organization has launched a Freedom of Information request following a decision by federal Customs and Border Protection agents to seize a shipment of toy pellet guns and a determination by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that they could be converted into machine guns so they must be destroyed.

Government agencies have explained that the Airsoft toys, made of a soft pot metal and lacking a firing mechanism, easily could be converted into a true weapon capable of automatic fire.

"Our firearms technology branch classified this as a machine gun," BATFE Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said in a report assembled by Gun Owners of America. "With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun."

Gun Owners spokesman Erich Pratt told WND today his organization has launched a FOIA demand for information to find out on what basis the government reached that conclusion.

The case stems from the confiscation just weeks ago of the shipment of several dozen of the plastic pellet-firing Airsoft toys from Brad Martin and his son, Ben, in Cornelius, Ore. Source: Fox Nation
