Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reacted to the shooting in Roanoke by calling for universal background checks and a "time out" for people predisposed to committing firearms-related crimes. Ms. Clinton believes "we are smart enough, compassionate enough to figure out how to balance legitimate Second Amendment rights with preventive measures, and control measures, so that whatever motivated this murderer, who eventually took his own life, we will not see more deaths." Basically, "we've got to do something about gun violence, and I will take it on." As if you didn't know.
Hillary Clinton Reacts to Roanoke Shooting: Calls for More Gun Control [VIDEO]
"Legitimate 2nd Amendment rights."
The problem there being that people that legitimately don't know a damn thing about firearms are trying to be the arbiters of what's legitimate and whats not. Consequently they think AR15s and their magazines aren't legitimate when in fact they're the most protected firearms there are under the plain wording of the 2nd Amendment.
I'd also like to know how universal background checks would have prevented this. According to his manifesto, he bought the gun from a gun store.
Why did I immediately think of that "legitimate rape" thing?
Same here. But she'll never get scrutinized for that comment.
Because the fact checkers don't believe there is such a thing as legitimate 2A rights.
I'm still trying to work out who these "people predisposed to committing firearms-related crimes" are. Anyone want to bet against the definition being, anyone that owns a firearm?
And, how exactly would you detect a person predisposed to anything? That sentence literally says pre-crime, if you remove all the extra garbage in it!
I don't know why you are thinking that. The right to bear arms, after all, shall not be infringed. There is no right to rape period, unless you live in some ISIS or Sharia law compliant territory. So in other words, one statement was falsely and stupidly trying to legitimize an already illegal act. Clinton's statement was trying to falsely categorize an already established right.
I'd be willing to bet, based on the information we know about him, that he is or was a Democrat voter.
So the solution is simple.
Yeah! Gas 'em all! Heil Hitler!
Oh, sure, like wmd's grow on trees.
We could pray it's epidemic, and they self cure but we'll save the last one for ya.
Almost, Heil Hillary
He was a Democrat and Obama supporter. Since you're a leftie, the truth is a little too hard for you, isn't it?
You are the ignorant asshole by sticking up for the statist.
Your comment was a nice example of the diseased liberal using emotional logic, instead of listening to Don's factual statement on who the enemies of the American Constitution are.
When you stand outside a polling station doing a report about the presidential election, and you are wearing an Obama button, yeah, it's pretty clear.
If this news reporter had been wearing a firearm around her pretty little waist over that pretty outfit and had trained herself with it she may have one bullet wound and be talking about how she took down a nut case on todays morning news shows . Maybe , never know for sure . Sad , but this is where we are .
If Hillary had her way , no one would be able to defend themselves except her of coarse and it would do nothing to keep a nut case from going nutty . He could just as easily have dumped a cup of gas on her and threw a match . We are going to have to be a lot more cautious and aware of our surroundings at all times . I carry everywhere I go .
Pray for the victims friends and families .
Well, being black he is (was) statistically 90% likely to vote democrat.
Being braid dead, he is now 100% more likely to vote Democrat
"I'd be willing to bet, based on the information we know about him, that he is or was a Democrat voter."
Well, he was written up by the news station for wearing an Obama sticker at a polling station the night of Obama's first presidential election.
"we are smart enough, compassionate enough to figure out how to balance legitimate Second Amendment rights with preventive measures, and control measures, so that whatever motivated this murderer, who eventually took his own life, we will not see more deaths."
She thinks she's smart enough to see 'crazy' before it happens? This hot air is brought to you by Unicorn farts.
She's obviously not, since she's bat shit crazy.
What with a cloth or something?
I really find it hard to believe anyone who owns a John Deere farming implement would want to hear her flap her pie hole.
I can promise you I don't want to hear whatever BS she speaks.
You'd be surprised how many "welfare" farmers are blue dog democrats. 😉
True….but a dying breed. The "blue dogs" I know have voted red since the 2008 election.
Farmers these days are so efficient a small percentage of the American population can farm and feed half the world.
Were it not for the US senate and two senators from each farm state, I doubt there'd be much welfare for (some) farmers.
I can just her the words in Hitlery's head, "What's this big green thing I have to stand in front of? It must be important to these simpletons. Oh that's right, it's one of those machines the serfs operate, so they can bring food to my table (that costs more than the machine) in my house (that costs more than any four farms put together).
Rich white woman entitlement really grinds my gears.
I would not be upset if she had a farming accident. A harrowing one.
According to the nutjob's manifesto, he passed a background check. You lose again, fascists. Want to stop violence? Stop spreading your sick, twisted ideology and creating monsters.
Guess it's Bernie's turn now. He'll tack on blaming the rich also, no doubt.
Edit timer ran out.
I also find it legitimately funny that a treasonous criminal who's committed more illegal acts than every CCW holder in the US combined is calling for the destruction of the 2A. Funny, and fitting, since only anti American villains would be against the 2A.
That's the thing. They don't care if he passed a background check. They want to ban (civilian ownership of) guns wholesale. Background checks are merely a stepping stone in that direction.
Can't argue with that. That really is the simple gist of it, which is why any pro 2A stance should lack any semblance of compromise. When a grabber tells you to compromise, ask him which of his natural rights he's willing to give up in return.
Their need to maintain a facade can be of great use to the gun rights side. It makes it much easier to catch them in obvious lies. Then to everyone else it's "why would you listen to the antis when they have to lie to sound reasonable?"
Once they get their UBC passed into law, every single incident where the background check failed will be trumpted as a reason to ban all of some category of guns (doesn't matter which, any category ban will be a plus in their books).
Until then, of course, background checks are wonderful and all failures have to be from them being avoided/evaded somehow, because if they admit otherwise it's hard to support a call for universal background checks.
figure out how to balance legitimate Second Amendment rights with preventive measures, and control measures
That's like trying to balance light with dark, or up with down. One side is going to lose, and we don't have to guess which side she wants to have lose.
My new response to this kind of crap from politicians: F. O. and die! I just wish I could say it to her face.
You can try RC. But she's surrounded by people with……you guessed it, guns. She don't want you to have what she's got in droves.
She's a beyotch.
I know I will never get the chance to tell her what I think of her….by the time the Southern primaries roll around where she would actually come here, well, I expect Warren/Biden to be in and her to be a foot note in the history of her husband's time in office. And dare I hope, indicted? As my brother who use to have a security clearance because he was in that sort of business says: If I or any of the people I worked with did what has been stipulated (admitted) to by her, I would have been in jail and for a very long time.
She's coming to my college tomorrow. I think I'll wear my East German stahlhelm as a show of support for her new Communist (wannabe) regime.
Make sure to give her the hiel hitlery salute.
no more, not one more law
I will not comply
He was fired two years ago.
How long do they suggest for a 'cooling off' period?
That's why progs love vague, nonspecifics laws. As tyrants by nature, they need free reign to bend any law to their will. Cooling off period? Age 1 to 90 should suffice. It's also why they like bringing up the mental health thing, since they can define what's insane and what's not.
Believing that requiring a phone call/email to an underpaid overworked data entry clerk in Moundsville, WV will stop criminals and those with mental issues from getting firearms in a country that
A. Is just full of them, (Seriously just ask Bloomberg we cant run for milk without tripping over AK-47s and Glocks it's a nightmare)
B. Can't even keep guns (or drugs or cell phones) out of SuperMax prisons.
C. Has criminals that you know, are willing to commit crime.
Should be considered a form of insanity and revoke the right of that person to stand for election, own firearms, have a Netflix account or appear on Chicken Noodle, F-tard News or the other one with the whiny Justin Bieber looking thing with the glasses.
A lifetime cooling off period ought to do it.
Hillary for Prison 2016
'Nuff said. 🙂
Chances of her seeing a hour of prison time is almost zero. The only way I see her going to prison is if the Democratic Party decided that Biden or another would make a better candidate and needed a way to shut her up for a few months, then have B.O. parden her as soon as the election is over.
Nice! I'm going to get that as a bumper sticker!
These are the same folks who think they can prevent airplane crashes by suspending the Law of Gravity. The 'erp' is strong with this crowd.
I'm sick of being blamed for the actions of their demented progeny.
I fear though this is the one that they'll rally behind and get an Aussie style gun grab.
Dylan Roof would have been the one for that, or Sandy Hook. This guy is the prog's and MSM's worst nightmare, a true representative of their ideology doing what their ideology demands. Can't have that publicly displayed, not yet anyway. Like Dorner, I don't suspect a lot of air time with this one.
I didn't know an overweight , homosexual , liberal black man could legally buy a gun . He must have got that evil bang thingy from the hood . Black people do not do this sort of thing unless they are in that 10% minority of crazy conservative right wing black dudes club , you know the one I mean , the tea baggers .
The Clinton's left over 30 bodies in their wake and she wants to disarm us.
What are you talking about man , you don't mean those boys on the railroad tracks , the girls out of the airplane , the gun runners and drug smugglers and Vince Foster do you ? You don't believe all that conspiracy crap do you ? You know Bill didn't have ' relations ' with those women and Hillary didn't know our Libyan Embassy
( consulate ) was going to be attacked or that Chris Stevens was a pawn in a gun running campaign to Syria and needed taken down because he knew to many details or that Hillary actually attempted to destroy or hide her e-mails regarding the Benghazi debacle .
Conspiracy nuts .
Never let a good tragedy goes to waste for the left. And put some time? He was fired two years ago. How long does she want to wait?
what does what they have to do for work have to do with the tragedy?
An authoritarian war hawk that wants to disarm her populace… nice.
She just FUBAR'd her chances to be president.
Remember presidential elections are decided by an electoral college not the general election. They can and have screwed the voter in the past, and the areas with the highest density of people and the highest number of electoral votes are typically blue.
I'd like to think that but I'm not so sure.
"legitimate Second Amendment rights"
does that mean that the second amendment is legitimate, en toto or that only some application of those rights is legitimate?
Pop Tarts? KFC? Chevrolet? Mercedes? American Airlines. You all recognize these even if you don't use them. Because television influences peoples behavior! 1 million dollars for a 30 second ad during the Super Bowl proves the media people know it! Mass shootings by mentally ill. Todays shooting in which the shooter filmed it and posted it on the web himself. 24 hour news channels (they used to be 1 hour back in the 60's). All advertising a way to get famous. When will the media be held accountable?
"When will the media be held accountable?" NEVER.
Dude was apparently mentally ill. The signs were there, but no one wants to admit it.
Apparently mentally ill. Ya think? The guy held a grudge for 2 years. The guy murdered 2 people. The guy wrote 23 pages of whatever. The guy posted his crime on social media for fame. This dude would have done the world a favor by taking a swim while wearing winter combat boots and cargo pants with a lot of change in each pocket. Same result with less murder and tax payer money involved.
I personally would have preferred Russian roulette solitaire, with a semi-auto.
I don't like to see additional suicide by gun, his death would have been an extra number held by the anti crowd as proof guns are bad.
No one wanted to call him out on it because one wants to be called a racist. There will never be an honest conversation about race till the term "racist" or "uncle tom" is stopped being used to cut down another person for something they may say that you disagree with.
If anyone would have tried to get this man mental health treatment. He would have turned on them calling them these names and getting other like minded to stand behind him in his injustice crusade.
Unfortunately, that's the entire goal…shut down any meaningful talk by throwing around callous labels. After all, if the races really did heal and come together, the Dems would be out of a job. The leftist government's worst nightmare is a free people who doesn't need them.
The truth about this is that there is no middle-ground. Every year there are more hammers used as murder weapons than rifles, and nobody thinks that the clerk at Home Depot needs to run a background check on the purchaser. This guy legally bought what looks like a compact Glock pistol and very deliberately planned and executed a murder, and did it on LIVE TV and filmed it himself, even uploaded the video for everyone to see. There is no background check that would have caught this guy.
An anti-gunner would obviously then conclude that the solution is no guns then, except that it comes down to two things – the first is a numbers game where we know that with more guns going out there there has been a decrease in violent crime.
The second and most important is because the 2nd Amend has nothing to do with crime or crime prevention, it's about the average citizenry being able to violently oppose Washington DC tyranny, and newsflash, DC passing gun laws counts as tyranny.
Don't just sit there, BAN SOMETHING*
*even ifmit won't have any impact on the type of crime that precipitated the ban.
Want to make sure this doesn't happen again? Ban live tv interviews!
Automatically, they assume some law could have stopped this. They perpetuate the myth that guns are easily obtained because of loopholes or lack of regulation, and the general public is brainwashed into thinking "common sense" gun control leads to a violence free utopia.
Where are all those big mouthed "pro-gun demoRATS" at? Come on you phony bastards tell us all how stupid we are for calling you and your political party anti-gun! You left wing scumbags have ZERO ground to stand on when it comes to supporting our 2A rights…
Haven't you heard? They love guns and support gun rights, but exclusively vote in anti gun politicians. Sort of like how Germans really did like their Jewish neighbors, but that Hitler fellow was just so dreamy and progressive.
Hilary Clinton?!?! Has no one told this woman that she and what she wants is irrelevant? Her campaign is over, what she really needs to worry about is keeping her sorry ass out of jail!
Hitlery makes Obama & friends look soft on the American Constitution. This woman's reaction without the facts and rational thought reveal qualities more aligned with the village idiot than one who proposes they should acquire the position of POTUS.
She should disarm her families security detail first for a few years, then perhaps we can talk.
Hate on haters, just don't get mis-directed.
She's only 1/100th of how bad the prez. is and he got voted in by 113% of the eligible voters in that party, and you spell that (D) bag sh_t:
THIS is serious-more than anything since Newtown-because it's live and filmed…and those killed(RIP) were part of the MEDIA. The goal is complete disarmament-as in the whole world wondered after the hildeBEAST. The dead killer's race,gayness and anger will be swept aside too. Honestly I am surprised there aren't more kill whitey lunatics doing the deed-I've heard the most racist shite in the gym working out and being around large angry black men for a lot of years…and don't dare criticise barry soetoro!
It's almost more disturbing than the actual shooting, the speed at which the anti-gun, anti-freedom side began gleefully dancing in the blood of the victims, joyous with the opportunity to exploit another tragedy in their ongoing efforts to trample the rights of those that have committed no crime.
It's getting harder and harder for the antis to pretend to be human beings. They're inhuman monsters at heart.
We should take gun rights away from farmers in Idaho so that nobody in Florida ever gets shot again!
There…. problem solved.
If we had more gun control, the U.S. could be as safe as…..Mexico?
It's quite frustrating that all these recent incidents involve perpetrators who passed a background check.
On the one hand it feels sort of good to be able to say "see, I told they do nothing." On the other it's painful to see how when proven ineffective politicians and idiot pundits still shout for more of what doesnt work.
Like being stuck between a pile of shit and a dumb person.
That point does bring in to plain view for everyone what we already know, that the end goal of antis is complete disarmament and slavery. They're not even pretending to make sense here, calling for universal BGCs when the nutjob passed a BGC. It's all just pushing the same pile of crap with the same end goal.
A couple of my friends from Boston are liberal and are for gun control. They are certainly disagree on the issue, but saying they are for slavery is ridiculous. They just find guns frightening because the only exposure they get is negative; like when someone gets shot.
Instead of demonizing them, take them to a range.
Then it can be argued that they're not for gun control, they're just ignorant. There's a difference between useful idiots and honest-to-Cthulhu gun control supporters. That said, if they're willing to infringe upon the Constitutional rights of innocent people simply due to their lack of knowledge, one must wonder what they'd support if push comes to shove. It can also be argued that being for gun control automatically makes one pro slavery, since a person unable to defend himself from government control is de facto property of the state. One doesn't have to wear literal chains and have lash marks on his back to be a slave.
I also don't demonize people. They demonize themselves when they support fascism. I just call a rose a rose.
Tool up now, people. Get in while the supply is high and the demand is (relatively) low. I predict a run on MSRs and 30-rd mags in 6-12 months.
What must always be remembered is that balancing gun rights with gun control means infringing the right to keep and bear arms. You don't balance fundamental rights for this reason.
Sure you do. For example, with the 1st Amendment, you can use your inside-voice instead. That way we can say what we want but nobody has to hear it. Common sense solution, right there. /sarc
The real problem is the complete failure of our metal health system. The fact that this guy managed to slip through the cracks for two years without any sort of help is an outrage.
He could have done this just as easily with a revolver, or a knife for that matter.
The US isn't violent because we have a lot of guns. It's violent because our criminal justice system is asinine, because we glorify mass murderers, and because we leave the outcasts of society to fume until they reach a breaking point.
In Switzerland, they REQUIRE every adult have an assault rifle and a handgun. Yet their murder rate is the lowest in Europe.
And you're one to talk Hillary. What would gang violence be like without the dramatic expansion of the War on Drugs?
It still cracks me up that her campaign logo is a RED arrow pointing to the RIGHT!
It's a matter of perspective. Since it's her arrow it's pointing to her left. As in, "anatomical left."
With apologies to Dana Carvey, "Well isn't that SPECIAL!"
Ugh…here she comes again. I know a lot of folks on TTAG don't like it but..there is only one group that she (and the other libtards) reference that fight back this kind of s…Gonna be a run on NRA membership hopefully. If you want to join, I always post this link http://www.nra.org/ruger
Full disclosure..I'm a life member
Oh please.
The NRA is a weasel-like quisling organization and acts as the 'Official Govt Approved Gun-Privileges Association'.
The NRA is provably directly complicit in the slow-sell and wide-spread acceptance of infringements to the fundamental Liberty enumerated in Amendment II as being 'uninfringeable'.
They advocate all manner of infringements and advocate for 'The State' enforcing those anti-Liberty/anti-Constitution 'laws' already on the books. Any thinking man can readily assess that the faux Second Amendment 'defended' by the NRA sure as hell ain't the one enumerated in the Bill of Rights to the Constitution.
Wake up, please.
Without the NRA, we would be worse off today. I'm not saying they're always right. But there are times when no compromise = total loss where compromise = retain something and the ability to win back what was lost. Your unalienable rights are absolutely subject to the whim of public opinion. No it's not right, but that's how it is.
You claim…"Without the NRA, we would be worse off today."
I utterly disagree. Without the NRA and their status as an 'American Institution' to legions of blind-indoctrinated citizens and without their self-claimed status as some sort of 'oracle of truth' about individual people's fundamental rightful Liberty, in this case, a Liberty enumerated specifically in Amendment II, we would have stopped govt dead in its tracks over 80 years ago.
The NRA has been seeking 'workable gun control' since its beginning.
Go tell your myth and false paradigm to someone still guzzleing the kool-aid and someone who is either dirt-stupid or so willfully ignorant as to willingly support a known enemy. That ain't me.
Following is some much needed history of this 'staunch defender' of what they claim to be the Second Amendment: Read it and wake up:
"The NRA supported The Federal Firearms Act of 1938, which regulates interstate and foreign commerce in firearms and pistol, revolver ammunition.
The NRA supported legislation to amend the "Federal Firearms Act" in regard to handguns when it was introduced in August, 1963.
In 1965, the NRA continued its support of an expansion of the above legislation to include rifles and shotguns, as well as handguns.
Additionally the NRA supported the regulation of the movement of handguns in interstate and foreign commerce by:
1. Requiring a sworn statement, containing certain information,
from the purchaser to the seller for the receipt of a handgun in
interstate commerce;
2. Providing for notification of local police of prospective sales;
3. Requiring an additional 7-day waiting period by the seller after
receipt of acknowledgment of notification to local police;
4. Prescribing a minimum age of 21 for obtaining a license to sell
firearms and increasing the license fees;
5. Providing for written notification by manufacturer or dealer to
carrier that a firearm is being shipped in interstate commerce, and;
6. Increasing penalties for violation.
NRA HELPED WRITE the 1986 federal law prohibiting the manufacture and importation of "armor piercing ammunition" adopted standards."
The NRA has been hard at work, over the last few years, turning a RIGHT (guaranteed by our constitution) into a revocable PRIVILEGE. Many pro-gun people commend them for this. Others see it for what it really is.
The second amendment states. "The right of the people to keep and BEAR arms" It doesn't say "to keep and display arms" or "to keep and hide arms" or "to keep and disassemble and lock up your arms" or "to keep and use arms" it says "to keep and BEAR arms" Look it up in the dictionary. To "bear something" means to CARRY it. Any attempt at "interpreting" the meaning of this, is clearly an anti-gun tactic.
"Project EXILE" IS the NRA's very own project. NRA'S project (EXILE) supports ALL UNconstitutional gun laws. Handgun Control Inc. supports it TOO. NRA-ILA Executive Director James Jay Baker commented, "I'm glad that the president has finally agreed with the NRA that enforcing federal firearms laws makes sense. We've been pushing for more enforcement of existing laws.
Schools: Then NRA Executive Vice President Wayne R. LaPierre, Jr., made these damaging statements during his nationally televised speech at the Denver NRA Members Meeting May 1, 1999. "First, we believe in
absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period … with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel.
All across the country, school boards and state legislators started doing precisely what LaPierre suggested: shutting down school riflery programs, prohibiting historical firearms displays, forbidding hunter safety training with unloaded guns, and banning gun possession by teachers and other adults with carry licenses. A
good example of the long range implications of what LaPierre endorsed back then, is the tragedy at Virginia Tech.
Making schools a "gun free zone" where lunatics can murder with impunity, was his response to the Columbine shootings? What happened to advocating responsible carry, by responsible citizens???
LaPierre also blessed gun show background checks by saying: "We will consider instant checks at gun shows when, and only when, this Administration stops (charging for NICS checks) and stops illegally compiling the records of millions of lawful gun buyers."
The next day President Charlton Heston flatly said on ABC "This Week" that he was "in favor of" gun show background checks. Within weeks, bills for gun show background checks – and "youth gun access" bans – had been submitted in both houses of Congress!
First amendment rights? Was it the National Rifle Association that had ONE OF IT'S OWN MEMBERS, a pro-gun activist, ARRESTED at its national convention on, April 27, 2003 in Orlando, Florida for handing out PRO-gun freedom literature from an organization known as the Free State Project, Inc. The unlucky NRA member was Timothy Condon, a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and Director of Member Services for the
rapidly growing Free State Project.
It was NRA PRESIDENT Dr. C.R. (Pink) Gutermuth, who saw "no problem with gun registration," and was head of the Wildlife Management Institute, who became NRA President in 1973.
Part of the problem began during the unlamented regime of former Executive Vice President Warren Cassidy. NRA lobbyists under Cassidy stopped opposing gun control bills and started offering NRA-approved versions of the same legislation. The NRA started WRITING ANTI-GUN LEGISLATION.
Politicians were lobbying their colleagues for the so-called "instant check" These pro-gunners were pushing a gun control bill that the NRA was strongly supporting.
Jim Baker of the NRA was quoted by USA Today on October 26, 1993 as saying: "We already support 65% of the Brady bill, because it moves to an instant check, which is WHAT WE WANT."
NRA spokesman Bill McIntrye said that the instant background check also in the bill "will be a victory for gun owners.
From NRA Board member Tanya Metaksa. I think this agreement was a victory for those who see flaws in the
current bill. This is a much different Brady bill. This bill sunsets into what we've been supporting for several years [the instant check]. If you look at it in the long range, IT'S OUR BILL in five years.
Recently the NRA tried to derail a case in Washington DC. The "Parker v. District of Columbia" case. First by trying to have the case consolidated with NRA controlled litigation, which would have drug this case out for YEARS. When that failed, the NRA got behind, and was pushing for the "DC Personal Protection Act" bill, which would, in effect, remove the law that the "Parker v. District of Columbia" case was based upon. Thereby preventing the "Parker v. District of Columbia" case from going before the supreme court.
Why would they try to derail a case that ultimately DID overturned a gun ban, and potentially settle the long disputed "individual right v. the right of the militia" to keep and bear arms? Because they said it was "too good" and might actually make it before the supreme court? A supreme court (considering the make up of it at present) where we had the best chance of them handing down a favorable ruling, than we have had in decades. With the very real potential, of the democrats gaining control in the next election (thereby giving them the opportunity to choose the next judges) if not now, WHEN?
Now we come to the Veterans Disarmament Act. H.R. 2640 Just looking at who was sponsoring/co-sponsoring this bill. Why was the NRA siding WITH the Brady bunch, Feinstein, Schumer, Boxer, McCarthy, etc. When every PRO-gun organization was against it, along with veterans organizations. Many members wanted to know WHY.
To my knowledge, the NRA never did answer these inquires.
Nevermind the far reaching implications, with the potential of opening a Pandora's box, concerning the mental health issue regarding veterans, as well as anyone else that has seen some kind of mental issue. (children diagnosed with ADD? etc). You NO LONGER have to have a court judge you adjudicated, now ANY authorized person can take your rights away. Above all, the UNconstitutional NICS check should not be EXPANDED upon, in the first place.
Lets not forget the NRA BOARD MEMBER (Joaquin Jackson) who indicated that assault rifles should only be in the hands of the military and/or law enforcement. But since they ARE legal for civilians to own, then civilians should be limited to 5 round magazines. And I quote…..
"I think these assault weapons basically need to be in the hands of the military and they need to be in the hands of the police, but uh, as far as assault weapons to a civilian, it's alright if you got that magazine capacity down to five." …..end quote
Everyone was screaming, "Where is the NRA" when guns were being confiscated. Only AFTER the Second Amendment Foundation filed suit did the NRA jump in. Then after a favorable court decision, the NRA was sure proud of what they did. Follow up announcements from the NRA taking ALL of the credit, they seemed to LEAVE OUT the fact that the Second Amendment Foundation was involved at all. Hmmmm…..
While reading the following, keep in mind that former NRA board member Russ Howard, RESIGNED from the board. His words, "In the past 5 years I've become increasingly concerned over NRA's penchant for giving UNDESERVED grades to politicians who TRAMPLE on the 2nd Amendment."
In California JOAN MILKE FLORES VS JANE HARMAN. 36TH CONGRESSIONAL Flores is an anti-gun Republican who voted FOR the Los Angeles Assault Rifle Ban. Harman is an anti- gun Democrat who got an "A" rating from the NRA. Why an "A" rating? She was ANTI-GUN!!! Who later said that she supports the assault weapon ban.
CHRISTINE REED VS TERRY FREIDMAN (State Assembly) Reed was an anti-gun C-rated Republican Handgun Control Inc. member who had been mayor of Santa Monica. Reed who should have been an "F". Freidman was an F-rated incumbent Democrat who authored many anti-gun bills
TRICIA HUNTER: Hunter was state senator whose bid to retain office was based on high-profile attacks on "killer assault rifles". She was rated "A-" by the NRA.
Howard Dean got an A+ from the NRA while governor, he supported the assault weapons ban and Brady bill.
Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA). Did not vote when needed, but was helped by the NRA come re-election.
Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) voted FOR the brady bill (3 times) then was helped by the NRA come re-election.
Congressman Elton Gallegly — voted FOR the Brady bill and the assault weapon ban and got an A-, and an endorsement. NRA's Terry O'Grady said, 'Gallegly voted against us on Brady and the Crime Bill, but he's always been with us before. We've decided to forgive him, give him an A- and endorse him. SAY WHAT?
In Virginia, 15 legislators were given A ratings after they voted FOR both the one-gun-a-month ban AND the shotgun ban. 41 legislators who voted for either or both bans got A ratings. 7 got exceptional, "above the call of duty" ratings.
In North Carolina, some districts have two senators. In the '94 elections, District 20 was represented by Ted Kaplan and Marvin Ward. Both favored assault weapon bans, handgun registration, and a one-gun-a-month ban. Their challengers were solid pro-gunners Ham Horton and Mark McDaniels (who fought tooth and nail for CCW). Nevertheless, ILA upgraded both anti-gun incumbents to "A" (one was initially a C), endorsed them, and supported them by mailing orange alert cards to NRA members in their district. Kaplan and Ward lost anyway, as incensed local groups like Grass Roots NC broke ranks with ILA and helped elect the pro-gun challengers.
In NC in 1995, Senator Fountain Odom betrayed the 2nd Amendment by gutting the CCW bill in his subcommittee. The bill had come over in more or less tolerable format from the house. Odom fixed it so that
only a few police instructors could give the mandatory training. NRA instructors were prohibited. He also worked to move un-permitted CCW from a misdemeanor to a felony, prohibit CCW with any alcohol "remaining" in the body, prohibit CCW in financial institutions, mandate that all training be fully repeated for each renewal, and gut statewide preemption. Limited preemption was restored in the full judiciary committee, but Odom betrayed us again, fixing it so CCW could be prohibited in any "park". Later on the floor, to give ILA cover, Odom amended the training section to allow NRA instructors to do the training. In 1996, Tanya Metaksa
gave Odom an A, an endorsement, and an orange ALERT postcard mailing telling NRA members, "Senator Odom has demonstrated his commitment to our right to self-defense…Here's how you can help re-elect Fountain Odom — a dedicated supporter of your Second Amendment rights. Help the campaign…make a contribution…spread the word to family, friends, and fellow gun owners…
Tanya K. Metaksa."
Odom's still trampling on our rights. Now he's pushing for a CCW liability law.
In Virginia in 1996, extreme "F" rated gun grabber Congressman Jim Moran faced "A" rated, NRA life member John Otey. The American Rifleman carried the following message: "THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL PRO-GUN BALLOT FOR THE FOLLOWING DISTRICT: VIRGINIA 8, US CONGRESS..NO ENDORSEMENT" NO endorsement for an A rated NRA life member challenging an F-rated gun grabber???
In Virginia, 3 congressmen who voted many times against gun rights and supported the Lautenberg ban, kept their A+ ratings (part of a large club of turncoat A and A+ politicians). Tom Davis got an A after voicing support for Brady and the assault weapon ban and orchestrating a unanimous vote of support for the one-gun-a-month ban as a Fairfax County Supervisor.
In Pennsylvania (1993), then Republican Minority Whip Matt Ryan INTRODUCED an assault rifle ban. In 1994, he kept his A+ rating.
In 2006, the NRA rated Ron Paul (arguably the MOST constitutional representative we have in office) with a "B" because he did not follow along in lock step, when the NRA endorsed (what Ron Paul saw) as an UNconstitutional bill. One that the NRA supported. Instead, they endorsed his UNproved, UNtested, DEMOCRATIC opponent.
John Dingell?
The NRA's Golden Boy? The former NRA Director? The same guy who voted in favor of the 1994 "Assault" weapons ban and then resigned from the Board of Directors the day after the vote? The same Dingell who received the NRA's Harlon B. Carter Award, despite voting FOR an outright gun BAN? The same Dingell that coined the term "jack-booted thugs" when referring to the BATF? THAT Dingell?
NRA Board of Directors member Larry Craig, was one of the co-sponsors of this bill, "Our Lady of Peace Act" Which was introduced by Caroline McCarthy, and supported by Chuck Schumer along with the usual band of anti Second Amendment slime like, Ted Kennedy, Blanche Lincoln and Richard Durbin.
Don't know what it is/was? Look it up.
Can't forget the help we got from the NRA. In the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" Not debating, if setting this kind of precedent with legislation, protecting industries, is right. Not debating whether the industry needed this protection. The point here is, that there was a CLEAN bill (800) on the floor, AT THE
SAME TIME. Everyone agrees that either bill (397 or 800) would pass through the senate, with no problem. So it depended on the house. There are always more votes than there are co-sponsors of a bill. BS. Bill 800 had over 250 signed on as co-sponsors. MORE than enough to pass it, CLEAN. Why did the NRA CHOOSE to back the anti-gun laden bill, when there was a CLEAN alternative? For a true PRO-gun advocate, this was a no brainer.
The NRA awarded Assemblyman Rod Wright its "Defender of Freedom" Award. This is the same Rod Wright who supported UNconstitutional limits on firearms purchases and background checks. This is the same Rod Wright who authored a bill to increase licensing fees from $3 to up to $100. Never mind the absurdity of bilking peaceable citizens of hundreds of dollars for making a constitutionally protected purchase. This champion of "freedom" apparently thinks it's perfectly acceptable to license and charge Americans for exercising their rights. The NRA's "Defender of Freedom" in 2001 voted against gun owners 62 percent of the time
Deborah Danuski, a Democrat from Lisbon, was endorsed by the anti-handgun group, while also receiving an "A-" from the NRA on its report card of candidates. As a matter of fact, in Maine, both the NRA and Maine Citizens Against Handgun Violence supported 18 of the same candidates!
In Colorado, where the NRA supported Senator Wayne Allard for office, and even boosted his pro-gun lobby contributions to $37,000 since 1990, Allard stated flatly that he would support federal legislation requiring gun registration for private gun sales at gun shows. Is a legislator who wants to expand gun registration someone who stands up for the rights of gun owners?
From Virginia, where the NRA Political Victory Fund touted the pro-gun "accomplishments" of Delegate Jack Rollison. This is the same Rollison who in a press release had the unmitigated gall to paint Gun Owners of America and the Virginia Citizens Defense League, who have endorsed his opponent Jeff Frederick, as extremists and "milita-esque" organizations. This is the same Jack Rollison who wants to ban your right to self-defense in any restaurant that happens to sell liquor. And this is the same Jack Rollison who voted correctly on only two out of eight issues important to Virginia gun owners.
The NRA also gave their "Defender of Freedom Award" to one Kevin Mannix, who ran for governor here in 2002. In 1999 Mannix was the architect of the worst piece of gun control legislation in 10 years, in the Oregon House."
I'd have been more interested in reading that if you hadn't called me a willfully ignorant, dirt stupid kool-aid guzzling enemy of freedom. You've put enough effort into that response that it would be worth adding citations and sending it to RF as a guest blog entry. Many here agree with you, others might be swayed if your argument were reasoned, supported by other sources, and free of invective.
"Go tell your myth and false paradigm to someone still guzzleing the kool-aid and someone who is either dirt-stupid or so willfully ignorant as to willingly support a known enemy. That ain't me."
Another collectivist-idiot de-facto advocating for an inevitable starting of civil war.
Pass all the 'laws' you want. I am utterly done debating, defending against or even discussing collectivist-controls and abrogations of fundamental rightful-liberty, relative to guns or otherwise.
There isn't a 'law' these domestic enemies can pass that I cannot and will not personally nullify, resist and disobey.
I am done because they will NEVER cease in their efforts, on all fronts, and the fact is that compromise and/or discussion is simply playing their game with their rules and it is naught but a fools errand, destined to fail.
F*ck you….I will not comply. That is all.
It must be a relief for her to talk about something other than her involvement in so many scandals.
The Party of Hate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
1. How can counseling help me?
The purpose of counseling is to enhance students' psychological wellness, help students achieve their personal goals promote student success, and increase graduation rates. Students may seek counseling for a wide range of concerns including relationships, stress, difficulty adjusting, identity development, academic challenges, depression, anxiety, and other concerns.

CAPS provides brief and confidential personal counseling. Services offered include individual, couples (both must be students), group counseling, limited psychological assessment and testing for learning disabilities, crisis intervention, consultation, and case management (referrals to on and off campus resources). Individual sessions are limited (one to six sessions) and typically last 45 minutes.
3. What are the limitations of services offered at CAPS?
CAPS provides counseling for student concerns that can be addressed within a brief therapy model. Students needing more comprehensive services that require longer term counseling or specialized treatment will be assessed and provided with community referrals. In these situations, the primary goal is to transition the student to the appropriate level of care.
Student concerns that may require a higher level of care beyond what CAPS can provide include, but are not limited to:
- Repeated psychiatric hospitalizations and chronic thoughts of suicide and self-injury
- Risk of harm to others
- Severe eating disorders
- Alcohol and substance dependence needing detoxification and ongoing treatment

- For employment related concerns (e.g. fit for duty)
4. Am I eligible for counseling services?
CAPS provides brief personal counseling to SF State matriculated and enrolled students. CAPS services are covered by the student health fee. CAPS does not provide counseling services to College of Extended Learning students (CEL), except CEL International Graduate students. Limited counseling services are also available to American Language Institute (ALI) students.
5. Can I be seen Immediately?
CAPS strives to provide students with the earliest available appointment within one to two weeks. During the heaviest utilization periods, toward the second half of each semester, wait times may be longer. In cases where a student may be experiencing a crisis, a student may be seen by a counselor for a same day assessment.
The SAFE Place provides daily crisis/walk in appointments for sexual assault, intimate partner violence, dating or domestic violence, sexual harassment, and/or stalking. Students may inform the front desk if they wish to see the advocate for The SAFE Place.

Let's Talk, a CAPS program located in University Housing, is a brief consultation with a counselor that is available to all student residents within University Housing at SF State. It is a place where you can talk about concerns and receive suggestions, resources, or be in the presence of someone who listens well and can offer support. It is informal, confidential, free, and no appointment is necessary. No topic is off limits whether it is stress, sadness, relationship problems or academic pressures.
For more information on the locations and hours, please visit Residential Life Counseling.
7. How do I make an appointment?
Individual Sessions: Students can schedule a first-time intake appointment during regular business hours by coming into the CAPS office and appointment will be given after filling out the CAPS registration form. CAPS is open Monday through Thursday 8:00am to 6:45pm and Friday 8:00am to 4:45pm during the academic year. Summer hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:45pm. Follow up appointments may be scheduled by phone or in person.
Group Sessions: Students can sign up in person for group sessions or workshops by filling out and completing the CAPS registration forms. Students will be called the day before the first group session as a reminder that they signed up for the group. Several skills-based and discussion groups (Self Care on the Spot, Anxiety Management and Dream Resource Center Group) only require signing up. Alcohol and Other Drugs Psychoeductional Groups are currently only offered to students referred by Residential Life, Office of Student Conduct and Athletics. Support groups (Understanding Self and Others, Trauma Recovery Group, The Happiness Project, and My Self-Empowerment) require a CAPS intake appointment.
8. What happens if I don't show up for an appointment?
Once you and a Counselor have decided on a course of treatment, consistent attendance is highly encouraged. Since the demand for services is high, we ask that you only schedule appointments that you are confident you will keep. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please call CAPS at least 24 hours in advance, so that we may make the time slot available to another student seeking service. Please assist us in achieving maximum utilization for this important university resource. Missing two sessions without giving 24hours notice may be grounds for termination. You may be required to consult by phone with your therapist about treatment progress before another appointment is scheduled.
** If you do not provide at least 24 hours notice when you are unable to attend a scheduled therapy session, a $20 NO SHOW / LATE CANCEL fee will automatically be charged to your student account. Voicemail cancellations are acceptable if we are unable to answer your call.
9. Are counseling services confidential?
Your relationship with CAPS is confidential except: 1) when you give written permission to release information, 2) in certain life or death emergencies, 3) if your Counselor believes that you intend to harm yourself or others, 4) If child abuse/neglect or dependent adult abuse/neglect is suspected, your Counselor is legally and ethically bound to report; 5) If you are gravely disabled and need hospitalization; 6) by Court Order. In some cases, CAPS, The Peggy H. Smith Counseling Clinic, and Student Health Services (SHS) may share your private healthcare information for the purposes of coordinating your care.
In the event that you encounter your Counselor outside the CAPS office (e.g. at a campus program, walking across campus, etc.,) your Counselor may not greet or acknowledge you unless you first greet them. This procedure is followed to preserve your confidentiality.
10. Can I contact CAPS Counselors by e-mail or through social media?
CAPS does not communicate through e-mail/text or social media because it is not a confidential form of communication and may compromise your privacy. In limited circumstances, we may communicate through e-mail with your written permission.

text: CNBC's article on the planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said that China looks content to let President Trump take the lead in the dialogue but both parties may turn to Beijing for help if talks hit a snag. CNBC interviewed analysts for their views on the situation and quoted Yale-NUS Assistant Professor of Social Sciences (Political Science) Chin-Hao Huang saying that one possible outcome might result in Beijing accelerating its call for a reduction in the presence of U.S. troops in Japan and South Korea, as well as pressuring Seoul to reconsider the need for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system. Dr Huang was further quoted saying this gradual reduction of US security and military presence in the region could be interpreted as a win for Beijing, but would only occur after US consultation with Japan and South Korea.

The ferry from Mawlamyine to Ogre Island is a fascinating local day trip – find out why it's as much about the journey as the destination.
The largest island off the coast of Mawlamyine, Ogre Island (Bilu Kyan in Burmese) is home to approximately 200,000 people, most of who are of Mon origin.
From one of the 8 ethnic groups in Myanmar, the Mon people were also one of the earliest to settle in Southeast Asia.
Practitioners of Theravada Buddhism, they introduced the religion to the region, particularly Burma and Thailand.
Here at DIY Travel HQ I loved the very local experience of the Mawlamyine to Ogre Island day trip – it was one of my best experiences in Myanmar.
Ferries from Mawlamyine to Ogre Island
Ferries to Ogre Island depart from the jetty opposite OK Hotel at the northern end of Strand Road.
Departure: 8:30 – 8:45am and 10:45am
Price: Foreigners pay 2,000 kyat ($2.00 in 2014) at the ticket office onboard
The trip takes over 1hr. Foreigners are not allowed to stay on the island.
The last ferry or longboat from Ogre Island back to Mawlamyine departs at 3pm.
By longboat, the trip takes 40mins. Foreigners pay the local price, 1,000 kyat / $1.00.
Onboard the Mawlamyine to Ogre Island Ferry
Crossing by bridge from the Mawlamyine jetty, setting foot on the waiting platform/ferry aptly marks the distinction between land and sea.
Rubbish is strewn everywhere, everyone has somewhere to go, on or off the ship.
The hectic environment and atmosphere is much different from the mainland's relative realm of relaxation, in retrospect.
The local ferry is a big, bulky vessel – bedlam on a boat.
A double decker, the lower level has no seating, occupied by passengers travelling with large cargo:
- bags and boxes
- sacks and sachets
- cartons and containers
- packages and packet
- almost anything apart from animals, or live animals anyway….
Passengers on the upper deck are seated, splayed or spilled across long benches.
Still, there are ever more people on the floor or sat on portable plastic chairs – it reminded me of the train journey from Dawei to Mawlamyine.
Up and down on both levels, vendors sell food, fruit and flowers from their heads and hands, and from conventional counters even.
Following the initial chaos of boarding and departure, the boat settles into a calmness matching the rhythm of the river. It is smooth sailing for an hour, until the chaos commences again as the shoreline approaches.
A crowd of men stand in anticipation on the dock.
The ferry finishes and disembarkation and disorder descends.
It's a true sight of mass migration as the people debark and cross the bridge onto the island, many with two hands full and a heavy load on the head.
Ogre Island Motorbike Tour
Once you arrive on Ogre Island, all forms of transport await to whisk you away: pick-up trucks, horse carts, motorbikes and bicycles.
A tout approached me for a tour of the island, for 10,000 kyat / $10.00.
I offered 5,000 kyat / $5.00 and he accepted.
It lasted 2.5hrs, as I had to return for the last ferry, but the time was adequate.
Ogre Island comprises over 60 villages amidst green vegetation, most scenic along the main "highway" leaving the port.
1st stop: Rubber factory
A large portion of the vegetation comes from the many rubber plantations and fittingly, the first stop was a rubber factory (or rather, a rubber band house).
Natural rubber is garnered from the latex of specific trees.
The latex is a sticky, milky substance, collected through tapping of the tree.
It is then turned into rubber for commercial production.
2nd stop: Wood-carving workshop
The second stop was a wood-carving workshop, another important industry on the island.
In a raised house, with the workshop below, I was invited upstairs for tea and wafers, along with the obligatory wooden objects viewing/purchasing.
Wooden pipes cost 8,000 kyat / $8.00.
3rd stop: wood-carved walking stick workshop
The third stop was another wood-carving studio, this one specializing in walking sticks.
I fell in love with a kooky Mary Poppins stork – handmade, 3 days work, able to be dismantled into 3 parts, 10,000 kyat / $10.00.
4th stop: Coconut fibre ropes
The last stop was to look at coconut fibre ropes on the ground – not too much to say about that!
Ogre Island is a fantastic daytrip from Mawlamyine, with the ferry experience a destination its own right!

Pin it and help others find it too!
*** The Final Word – The day trip from Mawlamyine to Ogre Island is a must-visit in Southern Myanmar! ***

Private services
A service voucher is a new way of selecting and using social and health services. You can use it to acquire a specific service. As a customer, you can choose your own service provider based on your own likes and needs, provided that the service provider in question is approved by the city.
The Health and Social Welfare department grants a service voucher based on an assessment of a person's service requirements and service solution. The service voucher is one option with which the city arranges services to the residents. In addition, the city produces its own services, as well as buys them from private service providers.
City of Vantaa has service vuochers in elderly services, when you are not able any more to live at home.
The City of Vantaa decides on granting a service voucher to a customer. The customer selects a service provider among the service-voucher entrepreneurs it approves. The customer and the service provider then make an agreement on providing the service. The service provider is committed to the minimum service contents and quality requirements specified by the City of Vantaa. The city will monitor the quality of services.
The City of Vantaa pays the service provider the value of the service voucher. The customer pays the difference between the value of the service voucher and the service price as his/her excess share.
Before you are granted a service voucher, your service need will be assessed and a service solution will be made on the basis of this assessment. If you meet with the service criteria, you will be provided with the service in one of the following ways: city-produced service, service the city buys from a private actor, or service voucher.
You can choose whether to use the service voucher. In order to make the selection, you will be given information on the prices of different service-voucher entrepreneurs, the value of the service voucher, and the excess share (that is, your own contribution) of using the service voucher.

When stress happens, it is going to produce an outcome. Fortunately, that outcome is all on you. What you make of the things that occur will affect the way you go through your day, relationships, or life in general. It might be easier to engage in conflict when we face stress, but we all know how this can be detrimental to everything around us. Instead, think of stress and conflict as an opportunity to create something new that will propel us to become our better selves.
Listen to the podcast here:
Your Relationship with Stress & Conflict
Let's talk about stress. Let's talk about conflict. Let's talk about the rub. It's a basis for life. When we have anything going on in our lives, it is acquired through two or more things rubbing together to create something as an outcome. We can take something as simple as rubbing two sticks together to create fire. You can use the example of going to the gym and pushing against weight so your muscles will expand. The basis of conflict, stress, and the rub are all going to create an outcome. What you have the opportunity to do is determine how you're going to perceive the outcome and what it is that is occurring. Let's speak about this on a day-to-day basis. We wake up in the morning and have a thought go through our mind that something is supposed to be a certain way and we recognize suddenly that it isn't.
I'll give you a personal example. I taped this recording and because of some technical difficulties, it did not get saved correctly or whatever happened had happened. Right when I was getting ready to go out to an appointment, I was informed of this. I have to stop and do this, which means that other things I was intending on doing were not going to be accomplished. At that moment, I got an opportunity to determine how I'm going to deal with the rub. One option is to be stressed, to blame, be victimized and all of these other kinds of things. These slots go through the mind for some and for some they become very attached to them. Other times, you just notice and acknowledge them and do not do anything with them. When it comes to the rub, when it comes to conflict, you recognize that it's a gift.Think of stress as the opportunity to create something new. Click To Tweet
The gift gives us a training ground. It gives us an opportunity to determine what it is that we want to do with that specific rub. We keep in mind that it is growing us and it's expanding us, then what we know is it is always a gift. We live in a stressful environment. There isn't anything that is going to occur that does not rub up against each other. That purpose is to give us an opportunity to create something new. Think of stress as the opportunity to create something new. Think of stress and conflict as an opportunity to determine how it is that you choose to perceive or frame what it is that's going on. The bottom line is that stress or conflict is about movement. It is the basis of life. It is going to create more of something.
When you think about that for a minute, you recognize that your expansiveness, your growth on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level is occurring because of the stress, because of the conflict. To get to non-resistive living, which is where joy can be found and where absolute freedom is found, then it means that when stress comes up, you become the observer of it. It means that you give yourself the opportunity to feel what's there. When stress comes up, we have a hormone response occur in our body. If you're very sensitive in your body, you can feel the rush of the hormones being released into your body. There will be some circumstances where that just doesn't happen because it's not a sensitive part for you and other times it will be.
Regardless of what the trigger, the conflict, the stress, whatever word you would like to use there happens, you pay attention to yourself, what it is that's going on. With that recognition, you get to determine how you're going to be with it. My highest suggestion is that you observe it. Let it be there. When you do that, it will just flitter by. If we come back to the experience that I had, what I thought were some very important things that I needed to accomplish were not going to get done. I had to take a breath and sit down for a moment. I thought, ͞"How am I going to handle this?͟" I realized that for me to sit down and just speak ͞"off the cuff͟" because I do not use notes, I don't have any idea about what I'm going to say, but I do need to be in a relaxed state, so I can access and allow information to come through me.
When I'm tensed or stressed, that doesn't occur. I observed that and went to the breath. I walked out, sat at my computer and started looking at other things. I looked at an email, I did things, and shifted the focus away from the mind wanting to do something with it. I didn't resist it. I allow those thoughts to be there. Then less than ten minutes later, I was able to come in here, sit down, and speak with you. This is a real live example of what happens when we have situations occur. What I want you to hear is that stress is a part of life. It's absolutely something that is going to occur. When you recognize and master your ability to deal with stress, you are going to find that is going to be very powerful.
Every day will be very powerful. Every experience will be very powerful. When you recognize that it is a gift and it's something that you do not need to push against, but rather allow to occur, you'll start to see a bigger picture. You'll have a macro view and recognize, ͞It's growing me. It's growing me in this way or that way.͟ Many times, we don't even see the gift of what it is that's occurring until it's way over, until it's after the fact. I don't remember exactly what it is that I spoke to you about in this recording previously. All I know is that whatever it is that I'm speaking now is what it is that was important for you to hear and what was important for me to say. Based on that, I let it go and move forward towards what is here in this moment right here, right now, which brings us to be very present. When you're very present, then stress is going to be able to be experienced and it is gone. It passes through.Stress and conflict is about movement. Click To Tweet
That has to do with physical pain. It has to do with mental and emotional pain. It has to do with every kind of conflict that we have. If you are clear and honest with yourself, you'll notice that your pain and your suffering is always coming from resistance. Resistance equates to stress. Stress equates to the body being in a state of constriction. When the body's in a state of constriction, it lowers your immune system and it does many things that are not in your highest and best for your joy factor.
I encourage you to be with what it is that's going on. I invite you to write a list of things you consider stressful in your life and then ask yourself, ͞What's great about this that I'm not seeing?͟ Don't try to figure it out. Be open to thoughts and circumstances that show up as you keep yourself in that open place and allow the movement with new awareness and new opportunities to come along. Take this little nugget and expand it into something powerful that will change your life forever. It's here for you. Until next time, feel a hug.

Billion-dollar deals fall apart as U.S. and China get pickier – China's latest business and technology news
A summary of the top news in Chinese business and technology for November 8. 2017. Part of the daily SupChina newsletter, a convenient package of China's business, political, and cultural news delivered to your inbox for free. Subscribe here.
Chinese investments abroad in sectors deemed sensitive by host countries or undesirable by China are increasingly running into trouble:
- A German biological products supplier called Biotest AG decided to resubmit its application for approval of a planned $1.5 billion acquisition by China's Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Holdings, Caixin reports. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which was reviewing the acquisition because a Biotest AG subsidiary has plasma centers around the U.S., said that the proposed arrangement raised "national security concerns."
- Paramount Pictures terminated a $1 billion deal for Huahua and Shanghai Film Group to fund 25 percent of its films over three years, according to Caixin. It is the latest Chinese venture in Hollywood to fall apart because of recent Chinese investment policies that de-emphasize money flowing into sports, entertainment, and real estate in favor of infrastructure and industry.
- U.S. lawmakers continue to push for more oversight of Chinese money in America by strengthening CFIUS, Reuters says. In September, the same committee got its way and barred Chinese-backed private equity fund Canyon Bridge from acquiring Lattice Semiconductor Corp. But the New York Times explains (paywall) how some American companies have found new ways to skirt oversight and continue deal with China — for example, "Advanced Micro Devices…avoided scrutiny by licensing its exclusive microchip designs, rather than selling them." The deal and others like it, the Times says, are part of a "new generation of deals that could give China a firmer grip on the technology of tomorrow."

Canada looking to add flexibility to right whale protection measures
Canadian authorities are seeking to add greater flexibility to fishing regulations put in place to protect critically endangered North American right whales.
At an industry roundtable in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on Tuesday, 23 October, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Coast Guard (DFO) Jonathan Wilkinson signaled a willingness to lessen the severe restrictions placed on various fisheries in 2018 to protect the whales.
In 2017, the death of 12 right whales in Canadian waters prompted DFO to impose extreme measures on fishing, shipping, and maritime traffic for the 2018 season. No right whales died in Canadian waters during this period, and the stiff measures kept Canada's fishery on the right side of U.S. marine mammal protection legislation, which helped maintain access to U.S. markets for Canadian suppliers. However, fishermen said the closures cost them millions of dollars.
In recent months, regulators, scientists, and fishermen have worked together to find an accommodation in procedures for protecting the right whales. As a result of this work, a new pilot project has been proposed for the Grand Manan lobster fishery. In 2018, the sighting of a single right whale caused a 15-day shutdown of the fishery. For 2019, it will be sufficient for the Grand Manan lobster fishermen to cut their trailing buoy when a right whale is spotted.
New Brunswick Crab fishermen, who work in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, are hoping this potential new flexibility extends to them. Martin Noel of New Brunswick's Acadian Crab Fishermen's Association said his group supported that avenue.
"About 30 percent of the biomass is in that area. It's major," Noel told the CBC. "If we can access that area before whales arrive, we will be able to accomplish a lot in terms of catching our quota, and when the whales arrive the area can be closed."
Final fishing regulations to protect the right whales in 2019 will be formulated at a DFO scientific conference in Montreal, Quebec in November.
Last week, Canada's environment commissioner issued a report that was highly critical of the country's actions in protecting endangered marine mammals.
