FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Turning a right into a privilege that can be revoked by bureaucrats

Tampa’s City Council wants Governor Rick Scott to pass an executive order banning concealed carry rights to coincide with protests at the Republican National Convention later this year.
“The thousands of protesters expected at the Democratic and Republican national conventions can come armed with a lot more than signs and slogans: State law in Florida and North Carolina allows concealed weapons, including guns,” reports the Sacramento Bee.
“The Tampa City Council wants Scott to issue an executive order, preventing people with concealed weapons permits from carrying guns.”
The executive order is required because according to Florida law, local officials are prohibited from pre-empting state gun statutes.
This move represents yet another effort to turn a right into a privilege and creates the pretext that fundamental liberties can be revoked by local bureaucrats when the mood takes them.
We’ve seen a similar assault on free speech rights with protesters being forced to ask the authorities for permits to exercise rights already guaranteed under the First Amendment.
Indeed, authorities in Tampa are already set to designate a “Clean Zone” where protesters are allowed to demonstrate. Although it hasn’t been decided where in relation to the actual RNC event this “Clean Zone” will be located, it’s normally kept well away from the central hub of activity, making it virtually worthless.in terms of generating media attention.

Council member Lisa Montelione’s claim made in a letter to Scott that the gun ban is necessary to “prevent a potential tragedy” is completely at odds with the facts which show Florida’s total violent crime rate has dropped 32% and its homicide rate has dropped 58% since enacting concealed carry, figures mirrored across the rest of the country.
Authorities in Florida are relying on the fallout from the Trayvon Martin case to push their anti-Second Amendment policies despite the fact that evidence clearly indicates George Zimmerman properly exercised his right to self-defense after being attacked.
The use of executive orders to crush constitutional rights and undermine the democratic process is a trend that has emanated from the federal level.
Earlier this week the New York Times reported on how Obama had personally invented the slogan “We Can’t Wait” to characterize his intention to “aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional obstructionism.” In other words, Obama simply “can’t wait” to bypass Congress and use executive privilege to advance his political agenda

An idea is more powerfull than any gun will ever be.
When a majority of people united behind the idea of Peace and liberty, there is no weapon powerfull enough to stop the Giant wave (a tsunami of good people)decided to end the war lords and evil abusers empire.
They the few who are behind this world genocide plan are very fearfull of what will happen once enough good souls rise to save the constitution.
it isn’t perfect , but what is on this planet?
If the people want PEACE and liberty willingly enough, they will make it happen.
to this day, too many good people have served in the military being fooled by those who give orders and paid to do so.
question all military good souls must ask is: Were those orders what goodness and liberty value? then you will know where you all stand in these dark times.
I cant wait to see Obama Impeached in 2012. “I Cant Wait Either” If they ban a concealed gun then show it in the open with your rifle. We the people need to exercise our 2nd amendment right whenever possible.
Any body who want to infringe on my rights should be taken care of immediately. This waiting game is bullshit.
What part of “Shalt not be Infringed” do the gun grabbers Not understand. If I went to a Ron Paul event I do not think Dr. Paul would mind considering I would take a bullet for the man. I would exercise my right to protect my President Mr. Paul over the fake President Obama.

Don’t wait on Congress to empeach Obama or any other criminal mind out there working for this criminal NWO Bush father announced back in 1991.
CONGRESS voted massivelly for the abusive detention bill, never forget that.
If they can do that, they are not going to empeach Obama.
Ron Paul is handcuffed, to make this happen .He is alone opposed by too many thugs or cowards bowing to there masters.
Only the people can and will have to do the job. Too many elected have sold out to evil seems?
Cowards? or just plain greedy capitalists ready to enslave so many serving this NWO criminal mafia?

They take away the people’s rights t to self defense. That is a crime of evil nature and it always preceeds a genocide of great proportion?
If the sheeple submit they will be murdered anyway, so they are leaving the many not much choice?
A ruling like this directly infringes on your right to bear arms and is therefore illegal.
There needs to be a penalty applied to officials making rulings like this that they know are illegal. Should they lose in court THEY pay for the court costs.
