Gun grabbers never rest in their holy war against your rights.
Community Word and the Peoria chapter of the NAACP are sponsoring a showing of the widely discredited “Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA” TONIGHT, Thursday, May 26, at the Peoria Public Library North, followed by a “moderated discussion” (you know what that means). It all starts at 5:30pm.
The rollout for Robert Greenwald’s new documentary, “Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA,” is targeting pastors, politicians, domestic violence counselors, African American leaders and others angry over the high body counts and broken lives that have shaken cities and seeped across the heartland.
The movie was released by “Brave New Films” – a twist on Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, which anticipates a future society where psychological manipulation and classical conditioning of the population is the norm.
Not surprisingly, this so-called documentary is uses psychological manipulation and classical conditioning to influence viewers.
WE NEED YOU!
Tonight, starting at 5:30pm.
Peoria Public Library North Branch 3001 W. Grand Parkway (behind Menards)
Peoria, IL
Let’s help make sure that they have at least somebody there savvy enough to recognize this. More importantly, let’s make sure there are some people present who can articulate simple ideas like these (write these down and deliver them tonight!):
* Guns save lives and thwart violent crime, a million or more times each year.
* Armed blacks don’t get oppressed.
* Gun control is race control, not crime control.
* Gun control is about controlling people, not guns.
* Gun control is racist, classist and sexist. We don’t support those things.
* Guns are tools that protect children and families.
* Scary guns like police patrol-type guns are freedom sticks. They are child- and family-protection tools.
The bottom line?
“The liberal thing to do would be to support liberty by opposing gun-laws and other government control schemes. We need to progress toward a future of freedom not a system that reenacts past tyrannies.”
Let them know that you don’t want to manipulate anyone… Instead, you want people to understand the truth so we will all be better, smarter citizens.
The problem that’s causing the rampant violence in many black communities across the nation is twofold, and was well-articulated by Chicago’s new police chief.
Supt. Eddie Johnson: Two men with 80 arrests tell crimes’ story
by Police Supt. Eddie Johnson
Eighty.
That’s the combined number of arrests between two men – one an alleged offender, Raul Martinez, and one a victim, Robert Rosenau – involved in a homicide that occurred in Chicago this past Monday. The long and violent histories of these men demonstrate the challenges that Chicago police officers face every day in making our city safer.
Chicagoans depend on the brave men and women of the police department to patrol the streets each day with professionalism and with respect for the people we serve. Lately, we have seen how much damage a small number of repeat offenders with violent criminal records can cause in our communities.
Police cannot respond to this alone. The sad arrest histories of these men is the latest illustration of how judges and the rest of the criminal justice system need to join parents, clergy, activists and Chicago’s residents as our partners to create a culture of responsibility and accountability in neighborhoods across the city. For years, repeat offenders with violent criminal records have been able to continually cause harm in our communities with minimum consequences.Offenders tell me that as long as they can get out of jail in a matter of months for carrying a gun, they are going to do it again.
In contrast, Florida has implemented sentencing enhancements for gun crimes that they actually enforce.
Use a gun in the commission of a violent crime, get ten years in prison on top of the sentence for the crime. That ten years is not subject to plea bargains, parole, probation, or day-for-day “good time”. It’s ten extra years, all 3650-some days (gotta count those leap years).
Discharge a gun in the commission of a violent crime is 20 extra years.
If anyone is hit by a bullet fired? It’s an automatic 25 – Life, upon the judge’s discretion.
You wanna know what Florida has besides lots of tourists, sunshine, great beaches and a great economy?
And it’s not because of a shortage of guns. Not in a state where almost one in five adults has a license-to-carry a gun.
Getting back to Eddie’s OpEd…
And Martinez, the alleged offender in last week’s murder case, is the perfect demonstration: in 2014, he was sentenced to three years in jail on a gun charge, but walked free just over a year later.
So I’m going to continue to demand that the criminal justice system do a better job to hold these violent individuals accountable and keep them off of our streets.
It doesn’t have to be this way. It shouldn’t be this way. And by working together, we can curb these trends.
…Just as integral is the role of parents. A life of violence can start when parents look the other way. With gun offenders getting increasingly younger, we all have a responsibility to be better parents to our children. I raised one son and two daughters and I’m helping raise a granddaughter. It’s on us, as parents, to teach young people right from wrong. Because if we don’t raise them right, the streets will steer them down the wrong path.…We all have a big job to do and there is no time to waste. We all have to play our part to reduce those risks, and you have my commitment that we will partner with judges, the criminal justice system, residents and community leaders in the fight against crime. When we all work together, and when we all do our part, we can make our city an ever safer and more vibrant place to live.
We are all in this together.
Eddie Johnson, a 27-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, was named superintendent on March 28.
And blaming the NRA for gun violence is like blaming heart medication for heart attacks. It’s like blaming gasoline for drunk driving fatalities. Or blaming cow farts for so-called global warming.
Not surprisingly, the event is scarcely promoted, but I did find it on the Facebook page for Peoria County Democrats.
A free public screening of “Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA” will be held 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday May 26 at Peoria Public Library North Branch, 3001 W. Grand Parkway (behind Menards).
The documentary examines gun violence and seeks common ground in the gun debate
State Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, said, “As the debate on gun laws becomes increasingly polarized and stagnant, violence continues unabated. In order to get past this situation, it is essential to find plausible areas of common ground between gun owners and safety advocates. The first step toward finding that common ground is distinguishing between the interests of gun owners and the financial interests of gun manufacturers, and this film plays an important role in doing so.”
A moderated discussion following the film will allow time for questions. Panel members answering questions will be Bartonville Police Chief Brian Fengel; NAACP Peoria Chapter President Don Jackson; County Board Member Sharon Williams; former Peoria Police Detective and Private Investigator Marcella Teplitz.
This free public screening is co-sponsored by Community Word and Peoria NAACP.
Can people show up carrying, or is it a prohibited place?
Didn’t your ccw course cover this?
Pretty much all taxpayer supported places are gun free.
Concealed means just that.
I still don’t understand why they have these meetings on a weekday and time that working people, you know, those with 8-5 jobs can’t attend.
Oops, I do understand why…
Couldn’t make it! What was the outcome? Did Gun rights discussion get a fair hearing?
