GRNC Alert 02-07-08:
Gun Rights Imperiled in Lincoln County
'RINOs' STAMPEDE IN LINCOLN COUNTY!
Question: What is the first thing you do if you are one of the
increasing number of liberals moving out to the smaller more
traditional counties in the extended suburbs and want to be elected to
local office?
Answer: Why run as a Republican of course.
[RINO: (noun) a Republican In Name Only. Certainly applies to elected
Republicans backing gun control.]
Certainly one of your first orders of business after being elected is
to propose some good old fa****oned gun control to keep the locals in
line. That appears to be the case in traditionally conservative
Lincoln County. Recently county Commissioner Marie Moore has proposed
an ordinance to heavily restrict - in most cases prohibiting - the
discharge of firearms within 500 feet of any building "designed to be
occupied by human beings." Now, it is not certain if Moore or other
commissioners are newcomers or natives, but such a move seems designed
to pander to such elements.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners is composed of five
members, all elected at large with three of the seats having their
terms ending in December of this year. All of the current members are
Republicans - at least in name.
The ordinance begins with the pitch that as the county becomes more
populated that it is "reasonable to regulate" shooting. For those who
follow gun rights, the "reasonable regulation" approach should be
quite familiar as it is the current mantra of gun grabbers all around
the state. Among the first provisions is one making it unlawful to
discharge a firearm "for the purpose of terrorizing or annoying" other
people. Legal expertise is not required to know that threatening or
endangering others with any weapon has been illegal from the time laws
were first written, so at first blush, this proviso appears innocent
enough, but you must consider this carefully. Any time a firearm is
displayed of fired, it will certainly ANNOY if not outright TERRORIZE
anyone who is anti-gun. Such language and tactics have been used quite
effectively by gun-grabbers elsewhere in recent years.
If the RINOs succeed and you violate this ordinance, you could find
yourself having twenty days to come up with $500. Fail to fork it over
in that relatively short amount of time and be prepared to spend
thirty days in jail. You'd best have good relations with those
newcomers living out their dream of a "house in the country"... or get
your checkbook ready.
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
* Contact the Lincoln County Commissioners - contact info follows
message - and deliver this message:
Dear Commissioner:
The recently proposed anti-gun ordinance targeting shooting within
500 feet of buildings is an affront to the character and conservative
nature of the community. I call on you to stop behaving like
Republicans In Name Only and respect the rural traditions of Lincoln
County.
It is understandable that poorly thought out measures are sometimes
put forth. I trust that this is the case and further consideration
will cause you to respect the individual rights of our citizens. I
will be monitoring this matter with great interest and will be
influenced by its outcome during future visits to my local polling
place.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Voter
