Weinstein deserves prison while LaPierre can retire
Dear Editor:
In reference to TGM Nov. 2017, “Weinstein targets NRA in expiation.”
Weinstein, who simply represents many of Hollywood’s elite leading Democrat female predators, an anti-civil rights and disreputable BIG SHOT, the emperor reprobate and sexual psychopath and lunatic sickie who now demands to rectify a sordid lifetime of criminal predatory behavior by viciously attacking the NRA, known to be the finest civil rights and gun safety organization in America whose aims and objectives are to protect and defend the US Constitution with emphasis on the Second Amendment.
Weinstein envisions the forcing into retirement of NRA EVP Wayne LaPierre, an outstanding gentleman of notable and remarkable distinguished service in protecting and defending our Constitution.
Mr. LaPierre will likely retire in the years ahead.
However, with a confidence, belief and reliance on the US criminal justice system, it being impartial, just and appropriate, Mr. LaPierre will have honorably retired from the NRA many, many decades before the non-campus mentis and deranged Weinstein is ever released from lengthy incarceration in what is hopefully a maximum security facility.
God bless America.

Author responds to ‘Bump stock’ critic
Dear Editor:
After reading the letter from Mr. Gross in the December issue, I thought I should comment—hey, after 60 years of intense firearms study, I don’t have to “play” at being a “doctor.”
So, there’s no spring in the ‘bump-stock,” eh? Apparently, the only way the action moves back forward is by human pressure on the fore-grip. To this occasional design consultant, a return spring seemed an obvious addition.
The writer admonished me to “read the manual,” which, like the stock I have not seen and could not obtain. He also suggested that I should have visited the Slide Fire website; another impossibility. This dinosaur has never had a computer. My brief column on the “bump-stock” in the previous issue (TGM-November 2017) was done quickly, at the request of the editor.
Well, at least I got one thing right—that stock doesn’t “bump” anything!

Reciprocity unneeded with full faith and credit
Dear Editor:
Re: Reciprocity? No Full Faith and Credit.
“And to keep and carry arms wherever they went:” DRED SCOTT, 60 US 393.
So if Negroes were CITIZENS, then the Supreme Court affirmed that they could “keep and carry arms” anywhere in the USA.
CITIZENS have full STANDING secured by the Constitution to fully exercise all rights constitutional.
Question, why then do we need the mere “privilege” of reciprocity if the Supreme Court AFFIRMED in its decision argument, that CITIZENS could “keep and carry arms” as a SETTLED RIGHT?
This is not “dicta” but positive affirmation of what rights Negroes did not have as slaves. As in the Constitution, there are no superfluous words in a court decision, for decisions exist to secure inalienable rights.
The SCOTT ruling was about rights that were to be acknowledged to CITIZENS. SCOTT was not a CITIZEN.
If a mere court can issue a warrant to arrest someone based upon the minimum of “evidence” of a crime that must be given Full Faith and Credit in every other state, then sure as hell, the right of a lawful CITIZEN to carry arms from state to state, SHALL ALSO be given Full Faith and Credit, more so than the authority of a court issued warrant.
No other argument can stand as a warrant is based upon a privilege and probable cause while the right to keep and bear arms is based upon an inalienable right.
Reciprocity, if allowed, can be denied; Full Faith and Credit SHALL BE affirmed and secured from state to state and never infringed by the supremacy of the organic law.
We don’t need reciprocity as we already have Full Faith and Credit. Rights never die.
As usual, law ain’t “Rocket Science”!

Seeks more details in legislative alerts
Dear Editor:
On the Legislative Update section it would really help if rather than each month you just rehashed the info that the bill was introduced—or whatever—couldn’t you give us a true UPDATE as to its CURRENT STATUS! As for recently the nationwide carry reciprocity bill seems to have had no activity for months. How about telling us why? Who’s to blame for the holdup! How can we hold anyone accountable when we don’t know who is the problem?
Thanks.

EDITOR’S REPLY: Tracking the progress of hundreds of bills at the federal level, plus hundreds more in the 50 states is a daunting task. The legislative process is a peculiar organism that changes from state to state. The movement of legislation is subject to many variables. What Tanya Metaksa, who tracks the legislation and writes the “Grassroots Alerts” column for our print edition as well as updates for our website, does is provide updates when there is movement on legislation or lawsuits. In addition, our news stories also augment her narratives with news of significant legislative developments. No one else provides more complete and up to date reporting.
