Sen. Rand Paul on the Fiscal Cliff bill

It’s a bit long, but getting great reviews. From yesterday afternoon, prior to the Senate deal after midnight this morning.

From Legal Insurrection

.. according to Rand Paul’s interview just moments ago, there may be more spending … that’s right, more spending and no spending cuts.

    First, Happy New Year 2013.
    Second, with what has taken place, simply put, “there is NOTHING NEW under the sun.”

    Obama & co are almost certainly acting deliberately to permanently destroy this country’s economy.? The facts have been out there all along.? The fact that the liberals have ignored that says that to them the facts are irrelevant, job growth is irrelevant.? My sense is that this regime is quite aware of everything Rand Paul said and none of it matters to them.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
    By the way, THE LIBERALS ARE COMING!!!!!! They want your guns, they want my guns and are trying to register all guns.
    ?
    Here’s how: the liberals will start by redefining AR-15 receivers as machine guns.
    What that means: For starters, all AR-15 platform firearms would have to be registered at $200 each. Your AR-15 rifle would become a Class Three weapon. The BATFE would keep this on file permanently. While you might get to keep your firearm, if you passed the background investigation and paid all of the fees — $200 + + + + — ? you could never transfer your property to anyone without permission of the government. You must notify the BATFE anytime you change address and get permission to take the firearm out of state.
    As a holder of a Class Three firearm, the BATFE or their designee, could enter the address where the machine gun is registered to and conduct a warrantless search anytime they wanted. No reason has to be given. By becoming a Class Three permittee, you give up your 4th Amendment rights.
    Here’s the kicker. It would end the manufacture of the AR-15 receiver. Finis, kaput. No further manufacture of the…

    . . . AR-15 receiver. Finis, kaput. No further manufacture of the AR-15 would be allowed. All of those currently in existence are all t hat would ever be . After a registration period, it would be illegal to own, possess, receive, inherit or otherwise come into possession of any unregistered AR-15. Anything not registered would become contraband.And, what is to stop the gun-banners from at just the AR-15?

    Common sense in the land of broken ideologies!? My prayers are with him.? If I was to choose someone to run the asylum we call Washington DC, Rand Paul would be the guy.?
