Proving the notion that deranged lunatics hell bent on taking innocent lives will carry out their demented plans with or without guns, Canada"s deadliest mass killing in decades was conducted with a van.
Scenes from the “Americans for America” New York March for the Second Amendment, at the State Capitol in Albany, NY , April 14, 2018. New Yorkers gathered to participate in the Nationwide March and Rally for the Second Amendment at the State Capitols of the 50 states.

“Elizabeth Najjar explains that not all high school students are going along with the March for Our Lives’ agenda.”
The mainstream media will not cover the 2nd Amendment supporting students because they do not fit the gun-control agenda the media is pushing. The 2nd Amendment is a critical part of our Bill of Rights, and some students who understand and support our founding documents will not be silenced.
A college student was arrested, forced to stay in a mental hospital, and his family was targeted by police after he was accused of making anonymous comments about mass shooters on Reddit.
After marching across the country to demand the government take away their rights, the government has now moved to take away their rights, and the students, predictably, don"t like it.
“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
With all of that is going on with these anti gunner politicians (surrounded by armed security detail) working hard for their special interest groups, rather then upholding the US Constitution, the US Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold, instead, and in using the tactic of “necessity” based off of some tragedy or massacre, which, in many cases, are induced false flag events (conspired black ops Jeremiah 11:9), one must understand the methods and the language of their enemies.
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.” – William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
Furthermore, when you look to the anti-gunner corrupt politicians and their methods one must ask where did they derive their delegated authority to encroach upon the God-given RIGHTS of the American people? I cannot find it! Why? Because it isn’t there (Hosea 4:6).
Americans must come to terms that corrupt politicians are not the type that you can help or rehabilitate; they are the type that you must lawfully remove, or you will lose your God-given RIGHTS! (Article 2, Section 4, US Constitution)
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – President Thomas Jefferson
You must fight for your God-given RIGHTS! (Deuteronomy 1:8; James 2:14-26)
It is the difference between a FREE people, and an enslaved people there are no in-between (Luke 11:2).
“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788
Therefore, it might be well for you to take a couple of minutes and read what our forefathers had said in their writings during the ratifications to establish gun rights to Americans as a whole, namely the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. Who knows better what the Second Amendment means than the Founding Fathers that established our God-given rights?
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
First, who are the militia?
“I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.” – George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” – James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” – Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789
Second, look to our American forefathers and how what they established contradicts the corruptions in the face of the present day criminal politicians (Psalm 94:20; Luke 22:48; John 8:44).
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” – Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787
“A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined…” – George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785
“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
“On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823
“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” – James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788
“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…. The right of self-defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” – St. George Tucker, Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803
“The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance ofpower is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. And while a single nation refuses to lay them down, it is proper that all should keep them up. Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them; for while avarice and ambition have a place in the heart of man, the weak will become a prey to the strong. The history of every age and nation establishes these truths, and facts need but little arguments when they prove themselves.” – Thomas Paine, “Thoughts on Defensive War” in Pennsylvania Magazine, July 1775
“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
– Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833
“For it is a truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion.” – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 25, December 21, 1787
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.” – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
“As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” – Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778
We have heard over and over from criminal anti-gunner politicians that we do not need 30 round magazines when it comes to our ability to protect ourselves.
Just a reminder to all, we do not need 30 rounds to hunt with, correct, but the Second Amendment was not written in case the deer turn against us, it was given in case our government does.
“The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it!”
Dangerous hypocrisy was on display yesterday as multiple politicians marched to advocate of stripping you of your gun rights while they were completely surrounded by guns.
There’s no need at this point to pull any punches, and the Marquis of Queensbury rules have already been tossed out the window. The wolves are circling to bring down the 2nd Amendment. Those wolves are the establishment. There are no political parties: the political parties are merely the illusion of choice. The government has been removed from the control of “We the People” for more than a century. The wolves are the Federal Government, the State Governments, the Local and Municipal Governments. The wolves are the Democrats, the Republicans, and the far-left parties (Communists, Greens, etc.).
The wolves employ the coyotes: the youth, misguided and misled, who are interested in partying and doing the minimal to “get by” in life…an entitlement mindset. They know not that they will be “pruned” by the tree-trimmers…the ones who will rout these saplings out before they become aware…aware of the truth. The tree-trimmers are the ones who would chop down the tree of liberty…that selfsame tree that needs (in the words of Thomas Jefferson) to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and the blood of tyrants.
The youth are critical to the wolves from a voting perspective, because (as de Tocqueville wrote) they enable the wolves to attain victory through “the tyranny of the majority,” in which rights are trampled by using numbers to tip the balance and allow majority rule…no matter how mindless or uninformed. No matter that the mindless vote for one reason, while the wolves have another purpose in mind. Coyotes, the mindless, who will be enslaved and pruned when the right time arises.
First the guns: they must have the guns.
On Friday, Governor (in name only) Rick Scott of Florida signed a new, lovely law that is onerous to the Constitution and directly assaults the 2nd Amendment. This excerpt fromthe AP holds the basic parameters:
…the law,…raises the minimum age to buy rifles from 18 to 21; extends a three-day waiting period for handgun purchases to include long guns; and bans bump stocks, which allow guns to mimic fully automatic fire.
As can be seen, the law is onerous to the Constitution. There is nothing that needs to be explained about the wording in the 2nd Amendment “shall not be infringed upon,” regarding the right to keep and bear arms. Marbury vs. Madison established the fact that any law that is onerous to the Constitution is null and void, plain and simple.
The problem is their “public safety” and “extraordinary circumstances,” that arm the wolves for slashing the throats of the deer in the name of the “public good.”
Go ahead and take it to court. Go ahead. You’ll automatically open yourself up…come forth before the barbarian hordes. You’ll be identified, monitored, followed, and placed upon their list. You will be marginalized further. You’re already marginalized and outside of normative behavior if you’re a veteran, a patriot, a person who believes in God and freedom of worship, and anyone who is against the national sovereignty of the United States being removed in favor of global governance.
The paradigm has shifted and is being shifted: the globalist initiative is replacing the Constitution for the new American existing social, political, and economic order.
Go ahead and take it to court. The NRA is filing a suit to prevent it. Nevertheless, the wheels are in motion. You will be fighting against the State…a “creature” with unlimited resources, with the media in its pocket, with thousands of actors/victims and other “living stage props” to use to garner public sentiment against you.
Read “The Running Man,” by Richard Bachman (a pen-name used by Stephen King…and read the book, as the movie is BS and was to sell, not to give the true concept of what the Running Man “contest” was about).
Here’s an excerpt of that excellent work, spoken by the head of the Network, Dan Killian, to the hero/protagonist Ben Richards:
“Your work record has been spotty and you’ve been fired…let’s see…a total of six times for such things as insubordination, insulting superiors, and abusive criticism of authority.”
Richards shrugged.
“In short you’re regarded as antiauthoritarian and antisocial. You’re a deviate who has been intelligent enough to stay out of prison and serious trouble with the government, and you’re not hooked on anything.”
Killian then goes on to tell Richards about the Running Man.
“The program is one of the surest ways the Network has of getting rid of embryo troublemakers such as yourself, Mr. Richards. We’ve been on for six years. To date, we have no survivals. To be brutally honest, we expect to have none.”
“Then you’re running a crooked table,” Richards said flatly.
Killian seemed more amused than horrified.
“But we’re not. You keep forgetting you’re an anachronism, Mr. Richards. People won’t be…rooting for you to get away…They want to see you wiped out, and they’ll help if they can.”
Our society is upon the cusp of a transformation to that one…a society where it is mandatory to have a free television (termed the “FreeVee) in every home…to provide a modern form of the Roman “Games” of the Flavian Amphitheater and the Circus Maximus…enrapturing and distracting the public. A society where drugs are legalized and encouraged. A society of a repressive police state, where a rigid class structure has been established. A society that consists of most of the populace as dumbed-down, dependent upon the government for subsistence. A society where government and the oligarchy openly pollute the skies, while they walk around with filters to protect against it…at taxpayer expense.
A society of ghettos, of third-world living conditions, with heavily-guarded mansions and office buildings sporadically dotting the megalopolises. A society of economic decay and crony capitalism. A society that presents “freedom” and “patriotism” as binding ribbons in a theatrical manner to ensure conformity and social “groupthink” and actions of the herded. Rigidity of thought, of conformity, and the haves pursue thrills and personal gratification and the have-nots are too dulled, too herded, and too uneducated to enable a shift in the other direction. A society where the guns are gone…have been gone for a while.
First, they need to get the guns, and they’re doing it now…with incremental slowness, but the snowball is beginning to build up speed and mass: In the end, they’ll go door to door.
On Friday night, 3/9/18, the largest Veterans’ home in the country had another shooting. A 36-year-old former patient of the home went in and killed three psychological workers…whom the President came out on Saturday and praised glowingly as martyrs and heroines…tireless workers who strove for the benefit of veterans. I’m sure there’s more to the story than that…but there’s the narrative, awaiting the crafting of the wolves and their slime of the mainstream media.
The bill is entitled the “Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Act,” after the school where the Cruz shooting occurred. The bill in Florida targets the youth…and now they have a pretext to come after the Veterans with this shooting. Always for a reason of protecting the public.
But who will protect us from them, from the government? Well, we will: that is what the 2nd Amendment is for. The right to bear arms is our right…merely affirmed by the Constitution (and wisely so). As explained in the Declaration of Independence, when the “old guards” need to be changed…the guns are when they won’t bow out gracefully.
Government is when the leaders derive just powers…just, mind you…from the consent of the governed. We haven’t had true stewardship for a long time in the United States…I don’t care about the semantics…it is the end state that matters. The current state that we are in. The government goes against the wishes of the people.
The government always manages to drum up Republicans who will vote along with the Democrats to ram legislation down our throats. In Illinois, gun confiscation is going to be finalized with a bill commanding those 18 to 20 years of age to turn in weapons that were legally purchased. The article is entitled “Gun Confiscation Begins in Illinois,” dated 3/10/18, by Daniel J. Sobieski of American Thinker. Read it. Here are some of the key provisions for that “legislation” as mentioned in the article:
The bill that will now head to the Illinois Senate, HB 1465,
Makes it unlawful for any person within the State to knowingly deliver or sell, or cause to be delivered or sold, an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge to, any person under 21 years of age.
Makes it unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to knowingly possess an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge 90 days after the effective date of the bill. Provides exemptions and penalties.
Provides that it is unlawful for any person within the State to knowingly deliver or sell, or cause to be delivered or sold, a large capacity ammunition feeding device to a person under 21 years of age.
Provides that it is unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to possess a large capacity ammunition feeding device within the State.
Proving the line from the movie “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson is the truth of the matter: “An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king.”
Let’s really think about all of this. The piece “The Running Man” mentioned above can clearly be viewed as a work of dystopian literature, and it’s easy for most people to see the tie-in to our society’s degradation on the slope toward the society in the book.
How about we take it a step further? The main character in the book, Ben Richards, wanted to make the big dollars to help his sick daughter and enable her to recover. His back against the wall and hemmed in by a society that predetermined his entire existence, “The Running Man” was the only avenue for him.
How about with these guys, such as the one in the VA home that killed those three women…and then shot himself?
Everybody always comes out with the same theories…the “hidden Blackhawk helicopters backing up the shooter,” as in Vegas…always the 2nd and 3rd shooters on the grassy knoll. But what if the answer is a lot simpler than that?
How about the shooter is approached from the government…beforehand…and goes on his rampage with the express (and agreed-upon) end being he (the shooter) blows his own brains out? In exchange, the government, per say, might set up a tax-free account for 5 or 10 million for his family…who are oblivious to the agreement. He frees his family from poverty, and there’s nobody around to question his “insane motives,” and the government has its tool to be able to advance a totalitarian agenda even further…complete with (as in the “Hunger Games”) a list of “the fallen,” now martyred…with cannon fire in the background and a “grieving nation.”
How about that possibility? Because if anyone discounts the possibility, you better discount everything you have ever seen and/or read about that the government has done. They have the resources, the money, the ability. They have the planning skills to carry it out. They also will always be able to find someone to use in this capacity.
We are at the cusp of a totalitarian takeover by the government in the guise of governance for the public good and using de facto law that is passed off as de jure. By the time it is challenged in the “legal eagle” manner, it will be too late. Those in power will not relinquish it, and more: they will subvert every right to ensure they are in power and not you. All authority does come from the barrel of a gun: they don’t carry firearms to protect you. They carry them to dominate you, and they can enslave you at a moment’s notice. The 2nd Amendment was to protect the citizens from an out of control government hell-bent on controlling your every action: a tyranny.
Jefferson: “When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

Some of us may thus feel our gun rights are secure with Republicans dominating the White House, Senate and House. However — with the latest mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida — this sense of security may be false. The liberal, “Get-Trump,” Mainstream Media is going after guns more viciously than ever. They’re even enlisting the kids of America to help out with the proposed new infringements.
Progress Report
09 March 2018
The documentary motion picture, GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS – How the Second Amendment Can Stop Mass Shootings, will address the causes and solutions for the mass shootings we are seeing in the high schools, churches and “gun-free zones” across America.
Some have asked, “what is the distribution plan for the movies I am donating production funds for?” The answer to this perfectly valid question is embodied in our most recent movie, MAINSTREAM. If you watch MAINSTREAM you will get a three and a half hour seminar on how the Mainstream Media operates and why it blocks films that are conservative; films that champion the Second Amendment; films that advocate free-market capitalism; and films that respect the Biblical-inspired U.S. Constitution. Given this, much of our distribution plan is to avoid what we call the Trolls on the Bridge to Liberty. Specifically, the Trolls are the distributors under the domination of the Hollywood and New York “CONTROL GROUP,” such term fully and accurately defined in MAINSTREAM.
Thus, our production-distribution plan for the movies has been basically the following:
1) avoid distribution deals with the Trolls; 2) make as many movies as possible; 3) make the movies inexpensively but increasingly better; 4) make the movies on important issues that no one else confronts; 5) center the movies on Liberty and Constitutional principles; 6) put the movies on Public Access TV and the Internet for free; 7) chop the movies up into hundreds of clips to create “ scatter-bombs” of knowledge; 8) release DVDs at places like World Net Daily, News With Views, Reality Zone, Movie Pubs, Amazon; 9) innovate new methods of distribution through Internet grass roots and “Lab Letter” rights; 10) repeat 1 – 10.
Please DONATE to help complete GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS at www.Good-Guys.us/donate Producer, Executive Producer, Associate Producer and Production Associate screencredits are available.
Here is what it boils down to:
1) We “keep and bear” revolvers and pistols to protect us from burglars and thieves;
2) We “keep and bear” rifles and shotguns for target shooting and to hunt for food;
3) We “keep and bear” AR-15s and AK-47s as a deterrent against tyranny and for state Militia duty.
The Mainstream Media and the Gun-Control Lobby rarely, if ever, mention point 3. By omitting the concept of potential TYRANNY and the MILITIA, they make it look like keeping and bearing “weapons of war” is irresponsible and dangerous. What they can’t seem to get -– or don’t want to reveal — is the fact that GOVERNMENTS ARE DANGEROUS. Governments have slaughtered over 171 million people in the past century, and this does not even include wars. We discuss this in two films many of you helped us produce, MOLON LABE and MIDNIGHT RIDE.
So it is important that we make GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS because, unless we apply the four clauses in the U.S. Constitution that deal with the right to “keep and bear”, we may never solve this problem of “active shooters” in our schools and public places.
As Wayne LaPierre of the NRA wisely says: “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” This is so true, we have decided to underscore it by naming our documentary with the title, “GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS – How the Second Amendment Can Stop Mass Shootings.” And by Second Amendment we mean ALL of the Second Amendment, including the first 13 words: “A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state.”
We have a great cast of experts lined up for GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS and you can review them at the official site at www.Good-Guys.us You can also review the narration Script and the production Budget at the official site. The narration script and the documentary are inspired by THIRTEEN WORDS — a book written by EDWIN VIEIRA, JR. Dr. Vieira, with four degrees from Harvard, is one of the foremost Constitutional attorneys in the nation. Among his many other books on the U.S. Constitution are The Sword and Sovereignty and By Tyranny Out Of Necessity – all available at Amazon.com.
Thank you for acknowledging the changes we made in the project with your generous donations between 17 Feb 2018 and today. If you continue to donate we can get started setting up interviews around the country and bring into the film experts -– such as STEWART RHODES, LARRY PRATT, G. EDWARD GRIFFIN, STEVEN WILLEFORD, REP. CYNTHIA McKINNEY — that will truly explain why we “keep and bear.”
Unfortunately these mass shootings will probably continue until the Mainstream Media-indoctrinated public is brought to a fuller understanding of why the Founders wanted WE THE PEOPLE to “keep and bear.” Given this, the producers and sponsors of this film believe mass shootings can be stopped by “good guys with guns” or what the Founders would refer to as “well regulated Militia.” It’s thus important to get this movie done quickly.
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS will be our 9th feature-length documentary. All of our movies are public service projects and the evidence shows that we ARE making a difference. These films are making a difference. Verify my claim by watching the past productions and see if they don’t match up to many of the improvements we see happening right now. All of the films are up for free at www.HomeVideo.net or you can get them on higher-quality DVD at www.MoviePubs.net
You are greatly appreciated for donating what you have, and what you may in the future. Thank you. A “free state” and “a more perfect union” are made possible by the men and women who care.
P.S. Please forward this Progress Report to your family, friends and associates. The more people who know about this production, the faster it will get done. Thank you.
Help us make this vital public service documentary by donating to the production. Go to www.good-guys.us/donate
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the Second Amendment does not provide protection for what it deemed assault weapons, nor does it protect any magazine larger than 10 rounds.
Who defines "dangerous"? is the question now being asked as the White House ominously mulls over confiscating guns from people it considers to be dangerous.
Not understanding that maybe Americans actually want to be free and armed to ensure it stays that way, one Democrat is instead employing mental gymnastics. Adam Schiff thinks that the Russians promoted the second amendment because Americans would “kill each other.”
Pulled right out of the “You can’t make this stuff up file,” Schiff made his latest absurd remarks last week at a University of Pennsylvania event where he claimed that Russians were posting content “designed to pit us against each other, to exploit our divisions.” Those pesky Russians must have nothing more to do than interfere with the lives of individual Americans…
According to the Daily Wire, Schiff made some rather mentally deranged comments that will have your sides sore with laughter. “They also trumpeted the Second Amendment,” Schiffsaid. “Apparently, the Russians are very big fans of our Second Amendment. They don’t particularly want a Second Amendment of their own, but they’re really glad that we have one. The Russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day, and sadly we are.”
Schiff recently went on two national TV shows to suggest that another Oklahoma-City style bombing is also going to happen because President Donald Trump and the Republicans released the House Intelligence Committee’s memo on Friday.
Survey: 55% want the film to address the MILITIA SYSTEM
By filmmaker James Jaeger
As many of you know, we recently sent out a 3-question survey. Thank you for your input, it was loud and clear.
Here is a summary of the survey results:
55% want to address the MILITIA SYSTEM.
24% want to address ACTIVE SHOOTINGS.
18% want to address the INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR.
3% want to address OTHER SECOND AMENDMENT ISSUES.
In addition:
4% want to confront the NRA.
7% do NOT want to confront or criticize the NRA.
89% did not mention the NRA one way or another.
My conclusion:
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS needs to focus on both the Constitutional “Militia System” AND the “individual right to keep and bear” as interrelated solutions to the active shootings (“mass shootings”) and we don’t need to bring the NRA into the issue at this time.
Given the results of this survey, I am sorry I have configured this project not as accurately as I could have and you will see changes in, not only the narration script and the third trailer — but in the title of the movie, which is now:
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS How the Second Amendment Can Stop Mass Shootings
If you feel I am wrong in the above assessment and corrections, please send me an email at contact@mecfilms.com. If, on the other hand, you feel we are back on target with this production, please let us know by donating what you can at www.Good-Guys.us/donate
As mentioned in earlier Progress Reports, we have a great cast of experts lining up. This includes INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM FORCE Founder and RED PILL EXPO promoter, G. EDWARD GRIFFIN. If you have ever seen him in any of our previous films, you know no one lays out the razor-sharp truth cleaner and more succinctly than G. Edward Griffin.
Other RON PAUL REVOLUTIONARIES who have opted into the production are JEANETTE FINICUM, CYNTHIA McKINNEY and DAVE KOPACZ.
As many of you know JEANETTE FINICUM’s late husband, Lavoy Finicum, was a GOOD GUY WITH A GUN before he was gunned down by government agents. Instead of protecting Americans’ right to “keep and bear,” the government considered LaVoy Finicum a “bad guy” because he believed in the Militia System as specified in the Second Amendment.
Also with us is six-term Represenative, CYNTHIA McKINNEY, a rising star from the Left side of the political aisle. Rep. McKinney is a true believer in all of the Second Amendment as a Constitutional requirement for, not only self-defense, but for the “Security of a free State” which only a revitalized Militia System can bring.
And last but not least DAVE KOPACZ, former State Chapter President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies and President of the Massachusetts Republican Assembly, a Constitutional Conservative Organization. Welcome aboard Dave! I’m sure no one has a greater appreciation for “good guys with guns” than you do.

The mass shootings across the nation must stop. Responsible citizens armed with modern weapons is the first step. That these citizens are trained and retain their legal right to “conceal carry” at private and public events is a necessary component of the solution. Finally, educating the public about what “good guys with guns” — what the Founders called “well regulated Militia” — is vital.
Unfortunately, the subject of the Militia System is not well understood by much of the U.S. public. And thanks to propaganda from the “gun control” lobby and their mouthpieces in the Mainstream Media, the very word “militia” has been distorted, vilified and bastardized. One of the key goals of this movie is to change this by showing how a modern militia is more relevant and necessary than ever — especially in this day of escalating mass shootings.
We discussed some of these things in previous films, especially MOLON LABE and MIDNIGHT RIDE, but it seems further explanation is required. This film will keep this discussion alive by addressing GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS as a working demonstration of the Militia System set up by the Founders. Were WE THE PEOPLE to bring back the Founders’ MILITIA SYSTEM we would be able to solve the mass-shooting problem in America WITHOUT turning us into a POLICE STATE.
If you’re still not sure where we are going with this film, please take a look at the Seventh Draft of the narration script such at http://www.good-guys.us/gg_script.pdf
The narration script and the documentary are inspired by THIRTEEN WORDS — a book written by Edwin Vieira, Jr. Dr. Vieira, with four degrees from Harvard, is one of the foremost Constitutional attorneys in the nation. Among his many other books on the U.S. Constitution are The Sword and Sovereignty and By Tyranny Out Of Necessity – all available at Amazon.com.
Again, please consider the changes we are making in the focus and theme of this movie and if they meet with your approval, help us complete this production by donatingwhat you can afford at www.good-guys.us/donate As thanks, we will acknowledge you with a “producer,” “executive producer,” “associate producer,” “production associate” or “production assistant” screencredit on the finished movie commensurate with your donation.
Early donors will be prominently acknowledged, not only in completed movie, but in pre-release trailers. With these things in mind, let me say there is still a prominent “Executive Producer” screencredit available in the MAIN titles of the movie for that donor of means who will allocate $10,000 to the production budget. See sample. This would really help us get this production moving.
Lastly, for those of you who want to keep their donation totally confidential, we have placed a new “ANONYMOUS DONATION” button up at the donation URL.

Again, the mass-shootings that have been plaguing the nation must be addressed and stopped. The producers and sponsors of this film believe the only way they can be stopped is with “good guys with guns.” This means WE THE PEOPLE should encourage our gun organizations to step up training in the proper handling of arms appropriate to stave off attacks. This means WE THE PEOPLE should also petition our state representatives to revitalize the Militia System in each of the 50 “several” states. It is vital that first 13 words of the Second Amendment -– a Constitutional Militia – be applied, not just the last 14 words — the individual right to keep and bear.
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS will be our 9th feature-length documentary. All of our movies are public service projects and you can screen all of them for free at www.HomeVideo.net or get them on higher-quality DVD at www.MoviePubs.net
Again, thank you for helping make these films possible. You are greatly appreciated. A “free state” and “a more perfect union” are made possible by men and women who care.
P.S. Please forward this Progress Report to your family, friends and associates. The more people who know about these films, the more new people will chip in to make them possible.
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS
Synopsis
Each time there’s a mass-shooting at a church, school or public place it takes the police about 11 minutes to get there. The shooting is usually over in 5 minutes.
Then, predictably the same “gun-control” lobby comes out and advocates yet more infringements of the Second Amendment. More gun-free zones, more registration, more limits on weapons and accouterments that could save lives.
GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS explores the reasons the Founding Fathers gave WE THE PEOPLE a means of protecting ourselves, not only through the “individual right to keep and bear,” but through “good guys with guns” — what they called “well regulated Militia.” Given this, ALL of the Second Amendment should be applied to stop “active shooters” and secure the blessings of liberty.
Inspired by the works of Edwin Vieira, Jr., author of Thirteen Words, The Sword and Sovereignty and By Tyranny Out of Necessity

Why are some people like this guy even in the position they are in?
Nicholas Rasmussen of the National Counterterrorism Center told the Washington Post “We find ourselves in a more dangerous situation because our population of violent extremists has no difficulty gaining access to weapons that are quite lethal. I wish that weren’t so.”
Rasmussen has served at the NCC for five years and three of those have been as director.
“More weapons, more readily available, increases the lethality of those that would pick them up and use them,” added Rasmussen.
The WaPo piece obviously referenced the San Bernardino shooting and the most recent mass shooting in Las Vegas back in October as some evidence that Rasmussen is correct in his assessment.
However, in both of those instances, the firearms were all purchased legally through federally licensed firearms dealers. In other words, the sales were all legal under the pretended legislation of Washington, DC, which should not be writing arms laws in the first place, according to the Second Amendment.
However, what was noticeably missing in the piece was any reference to say… Chicago, Los Angeles, New York or Baltimore. These cities have some of the strictest gun control “laws” in the country and yet, they are the most prone for violence.
For instance, consider that The Baltimore Sun just reported that Baltimore just set a new homicide record per capita!
(Baltimore Sun) – With two fatal shootings Tuesday night, the recent reclassification of a decades-old shooting as a killing and another homicide Wednesday evening, Baltimore has hit 343 homicides in 2017, and a new record for killings per capita.
The homicide rate for 2017 is now 55.8 killings per 100,000 people. The previous record was 55.35 per 100,000 in 2015. The city suffered 344 homicides that year, but had thousands more residents.
The most homicides to occur in a year was 353 in 1993, but the city had some 100,000 more residents then.
How many guns in those shootings do you think were easy to acquire legally? Probably not many.
During the holidays, Chicago, which is criminally controlled by both street thugs and politicians in suits who infringe upon the God-given right of their citizenry to keep and bear arms, saw the number of shooting victims rise over 4,300 for 2016.
According to the Chicago Tribune at the writing of this article, Chicago has seen 4,328 shooting victims in 2016, compared to 2,989 shooting victims in 2015. That’s an increase of over 1,300!
As mentioned yesterday by South Carolina attorney Mark Schnee, who filed a lawsuit against the city of Columbia over its ban of trigger cranks and bump stocks, rightly said, “Banning inanimate objects to fix societal problems have never worked and never will work.”
Those weapons right there are far easier to come by than a gun. There’s absolutely no background checks if you have cash in hand to purchase a vehicle, but you aren’t hearing people like Mr. Rasmussen mention the easy availability of automobiles, are you? Well, not yet, you aren’t.
This “ease of access to weapons” that Rasmussen and the media quite often put out is actually non-existent. Even among criminals, there is much that is involved in obtaining weapons, whether it be to murder someone, rob someone or go through a variety of channels to obtain them, it’s not that simple.
The very best thing that could occur in the united States would be a simple repeal of each and every restriction and pretended law against weapons. The American people can be vigilant against terrorism if we were simply allowed to do so.
The National Rifle Association’s slogan, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” is spot on.
People need to quit talking about more infringements on the peoples’ rights to keep and bear arms and start focusing on bringing swift and just punishments (execution) on those who commit murder and other violent crimes.
If this was done, not only would we see justice, but we would be teaching those growing up in this country that rights are protected for those following the law and if you engage in criminal behavior such as murder, which is what terrorism is all about, then you will lose your life over it.
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed)—The National Rifle Association (NRA), which fancies itself a champion of the Second Amendment and gun rights, is nowhere to be found as state governments are moving to confiscate firearms from medical marijuana patients.
Police in Honolulu, Hawaii, recently sent out a letter to 30 medical cannabis patients warning them they had 30 days to hand over their guns. When medical cannabis becomes legal in Ohio in 2018, patients will not be permitted to own or possess firearms. Similar restrictions have been imposed in California and Oregon despite state policy, and they are not new.
In 2011, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive issued a warning that because cannabis is illegal at the federal level, patients cannot possess guns. “There are no exceptions in federal law for marijuana purportedly used for medicinal purposes, even if such use is sanctioned by state law,” the ATF said in 2011.
Despite the NRA’s vehemently opinionated stances on many issues, including whether or not suspected terrorists should have access to guns, the lobbying group had little to say at the time about the federal government’s infringements on cannabis patients’ gun rights, merely ‘reporting’ that “If a person admits marijuana use to a licensed firearm dealer, the dealer is prohibited from transferring a firearm to that person because the dealer will have a ‘reasonable cause to believe’ that the person is an unlawful user.”
The NRA has not responded to Anti-Media’s request for comment on the Honolulu police order for cannabis patients to turn in their guns (considering the organization’s proud support for law enforcement, this is unsurprising). In fact, the order came and went after public outcry condemned the gun grab. Honolulu police have since backtracked, saying they will not be confiscating guns but will be enforcing their policy against future cannabis users who would like to purchase a firearm.
Still, the country’s foremost representative of gun rights has had no comment.
This puts the NRA in a contradictory position. The organization has made it clear it believes the 2nd Amendment is intended to fight tyranny, an obvious reference to the American Revolution.
As Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president, said in 2013:
“I think without any doubt, if you look at why our Founding Fathers put it there, they had lived under the tyranny of King George and they wanted to make sure that these free people in this new country would never be subjugated again and have to live under tyranny.”
But during the revolution, the American rebels were largely spurred to action because of their opposition unjust laws.
In 2017, a vast majority of Americans oppose the war on cannabis, especially with respect to medicinal uses. Even Republicans now favor legalization. Yet the NRA is nowhere to be found to speak on behalf of the people and the gun owners they claim to protect while an over-bloated federal government violates the constitution to punish people for non-violently possessing a plant.
Rather, the NRA prefers to express its eternal support for law enforcement — the enforcers of unjust laws — and seems content to ignore the federal government’s violations of marijuana users’ rights simply because the federal government asserts — through unjust and outdated laws — that the plant is illegal.
But assuming laws are akin to wisdom and morality is a dangerous practice, as demonstrated by a 2016 ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that reaffirmed cannabis use and possession is grounds for infringing on the 2nd Amendment.
The court case itself was rooted in legality. A gun shop owner refused to issue a gun to a medical marijuana patient in Nevada precisely because the plant remains illegal at the federal level. In the 9th Circuit Court panel’s opinion, they cited federal law, writing:
“Turning to federal firearms provisions, under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) no person ‘who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance’ may ‘possess . . . or . . . receive any firearm or ammunition.’ In addition, it is unlawful for ‘any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person . . . is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance.’”
In addition to citing legality, the panel claimed cannabis use “raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated.”
In reality, research suggests violence and crime actually decrease in states that (illegally, according to the federal government) allow access to cannabis. In contrast, alcohol, a legal drug (according to the federal government), has well-documented, strong links to aggression, violence, and ‘irrational or unpredictable behavior.’ Because it is legal, however, gun access is not restricted to people who use the government-approved drug.
Though alcohol is far more dangerous than cannabis, alcohol gets a free pass because the federal government, which the NRA purports to mistrust, does not violently punish people for using it. The NRA remains silent when that same federal government, which, again, it believes its constituents might need to overthrow at some point, violates the 2nd Amendment. Rather than questioning laws as the glorified 18th-century American rebels did, the NRA prefers the government they mistrust simply enforce existing gun laws, like denying cannabis users their rights.
Apparently, the organization only believes in the notion of “shall not be infringed” if gun owners align with their own right-wing establishment views and law-and-order agenda, which often command submission to the very government they fantasize about overthrowing.

They cannot be defeated by conventional means, by acceptable methods: the game is rigged. The actuarial scientists with strongpoints in Games Theory have already plotted it: The Think Tanks for things such as “policy research” aren’t initiating any actions that are “new.” They initiate original solutions, but not innovation that lends itself to progress or improvement for people. These are solutions to inculcate control and dominion, according to patterns…
…the conditioned patterns of the people that enable them to construct the cage.
There is only one question overall that you need to ask in relation to this: Why? The question will not be able to be answered satisfactorily if you’re conditioned…in which case the “why” will not matter…because the answer you arrive upon will be one that is already “provided” by them for you.
Provided. They want you to take articles such as this one and discount them. They want you to look at everything and anything with skepticism and doubt…if it is outside of the “construct” they have made for you…. that we have helped them to make by our complacency.
The construct: the existing social, political, economic, and religious order in place, to be maintained at any cost until the people are no longer useful and can be “removed” en masse.
Black Friday gun sales (as reported by Kevin Johnson of USA Today, 11/25/17, “Black Friday posts new single day record for gun checks at more than 200,000,”) were estimated to be 203,086, a figure more than 17,000 request higher than any Black Friday. The government-media complex (and the government itself) doesn’t like it at all. How about this excerpt:
Federal authorities, meanwhile, have for years openly complained that incomplete databases and staff shortages make it difficult to keep pace with the constant stream of background checks required of most new gun purchasers and efficiently trace firearms used in crimes.
Seems they want a larger database, more personnel, and the ability to trace a weapon more effectively. Guess what? They want those things; however, the words are just a feint.
Firearms are not their primary concern. The surveillance net comes first. Once the net is fully in place, they will not have to worry about “background checks” ever again.
The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is being stripped from us, one way or another…either added to via subjective interpretation by the Obama-packed Marxist Supreme Court, or “padded” by rulings of inferior courts of appeals. Judicial positions are a big part of the movement toward globalism. The Constitution merely needs to be “interpreted” by these Supreme Court (In)Justices and ruled upon to completely disavow the original intentions of the Founders who framed the document in standard English that needed no interpretation then, or now.
Most people do not realize that the Constitution and the firearms in the hands of the people are the only things protecting us from tyranny…the dread specter that has haunted us since the country’s founding. The specter of tyranny never dies, and each generation it manifests itself as the “Mr. Hyde” underlying the elected “Dr. Jekylls.”
Ever-increasing surveillance and security…for your “safety” …until the cage is completed on the interior…and an ever-present “war footing” to take the country down from the opposite direction if it is possible. This article came out the other day, written by Keith Collins of Quartz Media LLC on 11/21/17 entitled “Google collects Android users’ locations even when location services are disabled.” Yes, friendly Google, in bed with the NSA and the feds. Zuckerberg. The same Zuckerberg who openly aspires to a role in controlling the internet and moving toward globalism. You can read that article here.
The article is very in-depth with detailed maps and diagrams. Read it and then ask yourself why. All this information: Why is it being collected? Why? Here’s part of it:
Many people realize that smartphones track their locations. But what if you actively turn off location services, haven’t used any apps, and haven’t even inserted a carrier SIM card?
Even if you take all of those precautions, phones running Android software gather data about your location and send it back to Google when they’re connected to the internet, a Quartz investigation has revealed.
Since the beginning of 2017, Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby cellular towers—even when location services are disabled—and sending that data back to Google. The result is that Google, the unit of Alphabet behind Android, has access to data about individuals’ locations and their movements that go far beyond a reasonable consumer expectation of privacy.
We have been mentioning domestic issues, but the powers that be? They prefer war. They want to start a world war because it is a way to kill off 90% of the world, leave the power in the hands of the 1%, with the surviving 9% to be either serfs or killed off. They prefer war, because of the riches that are derived through the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) that line the pockets of oligarchs and politicos alike. These two amass more power, more money, and preparations paid for by the people…. but not of the people or for it…that these politicos and oligarchs shall not perish from the earth.Here’s an excerpt that bears reading entitled “Busy week for PLA [that’s People’s Liberation Army…the Army of Communist China] as it sends more warplanes above Pacific,” by Frank Chen, 11/24/17:
More Chinese bombers and fighters will ply the airspace as far as Guam and even Hawaii, at increasing frequency in the near future, as China aims to project its defence capabilities in the Pacific, under the name of “freedom of navigation”, with new, more advanced indigenous jets such as the J-20 fighters and H-20 bombers. Asia Times reported earlier this month that PLA H-6Ks were spotted above Hawaii. Analysts say if that is true, the bombers must have received aerial refueling midway.
Yeah, our “friends” the Chinese. Remember the “Red Dawn” movie remake that came out a few years ago? The invaders were originally the Chinese…until the “real” Chinese (the ones who will be actually invading the West Coast of the United States) complained. Then the filmmakers changed the enemy to the North Koreans. The U.S. bowed down and complied to the ones who hold our debt and supply us with manufactured consumer products.
We don’t manufacture anything in this country anymore that makes a difference, except for politicians…and what they produce is always harmful to the public.
So, the analysts “say if that is true” about PLA-H-6K’s spotted above Hawaii. Analysts, eh? Are these the same REMF’s (you can look that one up) that for years denied the capabilities of North Korea…the ones they now affirm?
And why wouldn’t it be true? The Russians have been running the Cold War routes off Alaska and even as far as Washington State and the West Coast of the United States. The public “need not be alarmed,” of course. Take notice of how the Media always underreports any potential threats or confrontations…can’t ruin “Black Friday,” or take the consumer-taxpayer-shoppers out of that “mode of emotional largesse.”
What is true is that they’re tightening the screws inside of the United States…toward a Total Surveillance State. Everything from a National ID card and internal passport system to a camera on every corner. They’re also bringing us closer to war. One way or another, they’re trying to collapse the country and move into global governance. This administration is just a hiatus before they really kick it into gear, starting with the Midterm elections. When Obama had both the House and the Senate, he passed everything on his agenda, didn’t he? This President won’t. Notice how I wrote “won’t” instead of “can’t.” In the end, we the people are the only ones who lose. We’re losing the country now…still…just at a slower rate than before.
