The Peace Movement Needs Pre-Planned Responses to Events in the News.

The peace groups first response was to just watch and listen to the news on the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. Some groups are quick to respond, Mothers Against Drunk Driving is always ready with a prepared response, of the science community and the latest asteroid-meteor combinations only praising the subsidizing of amateur astronomers was prepared ahead of time.

Peter Wlasuk, a plumber, found visits to one of his repeat customers somewhat eerie. A beautiful, tastefully decorated house with a low-light, windowless basement with a bedroom and bath attached filled with posters of a tanks and guns. The boys liked to talk gun trivia. The boys later Lanza by himself seemed to spend his life down there with computer video games.

Adam Lanza was obsessed with one video game. So was Mohammed Merah who attacked a Jewish Orthodox school in France, Anders Breivik who spent six months, day and night, before stopping to plan an attack on a youth camp and the Norwegian equivalent of the White House bragged about the same video game Call for Duty helping him practice for his massacre,  heavy.com/regions/2012/12/sandy-hook-shooter-adam-lanza-call-of-duty

I would like to see peace groups and anti-gun groups have a joint meeting where they would watch sections of Call for Duty on a big screen then discuss it afterwords.

In schools with the most gun violence many kids think their only choice in life is dire poverty or getting a job with a gun in armed forces, freelancing with a gun on the street or with a gang. Most high profile incidents involved people planning to have a job with a gun, or have one or had one with the armed forces. There are complaints about the School-to-Prison pipeline and that cops in school makes the gun culture more overwhelming as kids that have cursing matches or much less end up in handcuffs. Armed Forces recruiters frequenting the place is part of the gun culture in poor schools. Let’s have a joint protest picketing, at an Armed Forces recruiting office, then march to the closest armaments store as part of the same protest.

All the articles like this one ignore the one exception, James Holmes who liked to play Batman Villain using a live audience at a movie as a prop, but who earlier had spent every moment he could playing rock star on the Guitar Hero game on a silent guitar. I plan to deal with specially with it instead of an earlier ramble in,

Guns, Gun Posters & Gun Games, the Real Lesson of the Sandy Hook Massacre

ADD ON:

The following is the missing link to Gun, Gun Posters &

http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/22-22/16244-guns-gun-posters-a-gun-games-the-real-lesson-of-the-sandy-hook-massacre

There was a lot more accusations against gun video games and gun experience in the armed forces before the James Homes attacking at a Batman movie, whose favorate role was as a rock star in Guitar Hero. We refuse to blame computers however commercials in the old addiction to TV day and night kept coming back to the real world through commercial breaks this would not be giving up intense technology to mandate intermission brakes in the action.

We are getting a lot of nonsense. Cops don’t want bulletproof vest piercing bullets or want organized gangs or criminals or private militia groups to have automatic weapons. You and me get killed by a spooked-out mugger when a car backfires, or a mugger gets surprised by someone coming, or a road-raged driver.

People who can afford an automatic aren’t aiming at us, and thanks to insurance companies saying, ‘no guns for employees’, we ordinary folks don’t get hit by automatic-gun shootouts between bank robbers and tellers or on between the crew and pirates on the high seas. By the way it is the amateurs that tend to end up hitting others than what they aim at, those who don’t buy expensive automatics. But the $10 million that Dianne Feinstein, and now Obama, want ordinary folk to pay for cops in schools and very tight background checks isn’t going to come from the corporations or a tax on the rich, but from programs that make life more bearable for ordinary folk. Anything that will make students more and more desperate in the poor schools for them to have to chose between a gun, with a legal job in the armed forces, or illegally on the street will make those who do chose to earn money illegally, think that, one way or another, life with a gun is in their future, and where a legal job with a gun is constantly dangled in their face, if they choose an illegal job are more likely to choose one with a gun.

When it comes to ordinary folk killed Adam Lanza was rich like a gang kingpin with easy access to an expensive automatic weapon not usually the kind of person to be mad at ordinary persons. However he was mad at the kids his mother volunteered with at the local elementary school. If his mother liked to take care of sick animals , we would have had a different follow-up after he murdered his mother. But Adam spent almost his entire life either mopping in the corner or glued to a computer screen without exercise would have killed as many people with a small easy to handle gun. The little girl who played dead would have had less blood to hide under. James Holmes was also super-smart. Holmes was determined to mass kill ordinary folk in that movie theater and fortunately no one opened his slightly ajar apartment door with the ear-piercing music inside. If it became far easier to spray a chemical or something else to mass kill, than getting what people wanted to be a banned automatic, he wouldn’t have gone to his car to get a second automatic, after his overloaded big gun jammed, which was the one scenario that led to only 13 deaths.

Attention NRA! Insurance companies don’t allow armed school personnel in private schools. You and I will never be shot with a Teflon bullet, and thanks to insurance companies won’t be hit by the crossfire between organized gangs and workers in chain stores. If insurance companies paid for people harmed in public school incidents, and couldn’t put, ‘not good in times of war or acts of God’ into their insurance packages there might be a whole lot less mayhem and war in the world.

As far as seizing illegal ordinary guns, making illegal guns as hard to get or valuable as Oxycontin will lead to similar attempts to steal them, and will mean more gun deaths for you and me.

Interestingly somehow there is no war against meth or speed, like with some other drugs. Yes there is punishment, but the emphasis is an intense education campaign. If there was a meth type, or anti-smoking type education campaign against guns there would be much argument over its parameters, but there would be less guns on the street then by throwing people in jail. However a lot of crime is trying to steal a gun. Ads letting people know that their gun make their home attractive to thieves would not be controversial. Without being mandatory, one’s home would be safer if the gun was all marked up with a tracking device making it less attractive to steal. Homes have stickers: ‘Alarm attached to a alarm security monitoring company’s system’. The government can make it cheap and easy to have a sticker: ‘Guns are in a fingerprint locked alarmed safe’. Fingerprint locking boxes for a small pistol could be a side pouch. People could be reminded in ads that their gun in an arguement may be a temptation to be seized by those they argue with, but not in a fingerlocked pouch. And the police can use fingerprint locks on their holsters when intervening in a domestic dispute or when part of crowd control. In a traffic stop if there are two officers the one first going up to the car might be known, by being frequently stated, to have his holster fingerprint lock on to prevent any ideas of seizing it. Or the fear if I don’t shoot him he will shoot me first. Bobbies in London don’t want guns knowing that if the police have them criminals would want them also to try to protect themselves from being shot by the police,

In this country, it would make the one cop approaching with others in the background, less a target if he wasn’t a direct threat.

Interestingly, someone who gets a prescription drug that isn’t prescribed by a doctor, can get advice from a pharmacist on how it will mix with the prescriptions they already have, without the pharmacist keeping a record of use of prescribed medicine, thus saving lives. There were discussions locally of illegal immigrants being able to report serious crime without being deported. Someone with an illegal gun could be allowed to report something more serious, and if it’s probation violation they are guilty of get a special reprieve where they must report or come in twice a day. Anyway illegal guns are twice as serious because the owner can’t get involved in publicly stopping something more serious, and is more susceptible to being a victim because of it. Pennsylvania now (after many years of refusing) has turned over its public health records to the Federal government. Those who suddenly fear having sold a gun to an acquaintance should at least be encouraged to buy it back and publicly turn it in, or make a publicly recorded sale to someone allowed to have it.

Many worry that the $10 million Dianne Feinstein wants to spend on police in the schools will come
from programs that make poverty less of a desperation and thus end up encouraging gun crime. Others like the the Advancement Project, the ACLU and the NAACP especially the New York branch are very
upset that Obama’s proposals for more police in schools would make the School-to-Prison pipeline
worse.

The powers that be, ie the politicos in the top 10% of the top 1 % were furious that Obama allowed Occupy Wall Street, ie solidarity of the 99%, to take hold, and taught Obama a lesson in the 2010 Republican Congressional Landslide. So he is now playing the hot button issue game. It’s almost like Clinton won a third term in 2012 and is now President again.

But Conservatives were so overwhelmed in 2012, first in Romney’s nomination then with Obama’s landslide that they don’t bother to get involved much anymore, especially since whites are a shrinking minority, and it seems gay rights is irreversible. So now comes the gun-control issue to keep the 99% fighting with each other.

Eleven libertarian-leaning Republicans, and peace-leaning Democrats, signed a joint letter demanding defense cuts. Making domestic guns a central issue, interferes with libertarian-left cooperation on peace, drones and civil liberties issues. Just what the powers that be want.

Ceasefire saves lives. A 50% reduction in gun crime in El Salvador has lasted for over a year after the government mediated with the gangs. Some good results in Los Angeles. Amazing results in Northern Ireland but the forgetful public now just thinks there is supposed to be peace over there.

Short summery:

We need the same rules, everyone is supposed to fasten their seat belts, everyone is supposed not to smoke in a cafeteria, no exemptions. Of course we say that some are allowed to smoke and some not because of age, but my guess this doesn’t cut down on the cancer rate, possible ends up increasing the number who eventually smoke for more years of their lives.

I find something very doable about everyone supposed to keep their guns in a locked gun closet or bag.

Even the police could have finger-print locking holsters. And a new culture where an road-raged driver would wave a gun bag around everyone including himself expecting he will use if he takes it out of the bag, not after he first starts to squeeze the trigger A poor mugger starving for a fix would have the gun locked in the gun bag part of the time if caught that way would get him in a whole lot less trouble.

Sadly the peace movement in the US has forgot the history of ceasefire and mediation. The real difference, when it comes to Israel and Palestinians is that the concept of mediation is still halfway still on the table. To the US peace advocates the subject is nonexistent when it comes to Afghanistan, while Afghan President Karzai has begged the Saudis even the Chinese and Iranians to become mediators, What if the US peace movement, media, and government got exciting and very cooperative with Karzai’s attempts? Gun-control advocates preach England but its really ceasefire in England since the corner police don’t have guns and don’t want them knowing that if they had them the criminals would want them to try to protect themselves from being shot by the police. Gun advocates preach Switzerland and Sweden with lots of guns and little gun crime but fail to note that these countries have never been involved in a recent war.

War, recent war, and neighborhood and domestic gun crime is overwhelmingly overlapping. More war equals more gun crime the statistics are overwhelming all over the world. In poor schools kids engulfed in as atmosphere that the only way to a good paying job is a gun: A gun with the government overseas, or a gun to raise money in the hood. A real peace effort would be to try to talk the kids in the hood to do without a gun and at the same time the US government to stop using them to pursue foreign policy objectives.

Every time the US has a war, even a social war, more gun crime and deaths result. This all the back to the war on Booze, then Communism, then Drugs, then Terror and now Gun Crime. It is true however that there are heavy penalties associated with Meth or Speed, but the emphasis is eduction as it is with cigarette smoking. Cutting smoking campaigns actually have some real success.

Finally the constant further overcrowding of the prisons had finally began to ease with suddenly far less marijuana long sentences, and far less ‘three strikes and you are out’ convictions but the ACLU, NAACP and Advancement Project are crying about Obama’s cops in schools proposals are refueling the School-to-Prison pipeline.

We can do it!

We can change US gun culture starting in Pennsylvania with its gun-ho anti-gun Philadelphia ready to make a push for a dramatic state swing, perhaps the largest gun shift in any state of the nation. If the Pennsylvania NRA were willing to go along with locking up guns rather than something more, the Supreme Court may change its ruling outlawing demanding keeping legal unconcealed guns unloaded and unlocked, providing the new law only requires guns to be locked with a finger-locking box which could easily be a side pouch for a small gun or a finger-locking holster for a police officer, or very rich hoodlum to be able to afford.

Of course an officer with a finger-locking gun holster is not really the same as an old duffel bag with a padlock on it but the concept of the same rules for all is important for a society to function.

We constantly cry that technology constantly makes the world more dangerous. Pushing finger-locking holders goes with beat of technology. This should be applied to all our problem, such as banning cell phones on the road is a very uphill battle but not an automatic recording that the phone is in a car in motion and after a 30 second delay the phone will ring in the car for emergency access, and the phone charges adjusted to encourage conversation in a car that is not moving, and a sugar tax going up or down depending on the percentage of non-sugar added beverages picked from the vending machine, rather than just a war on sugar. War on gun crime is not the way to go any more than a war on drugs and on booze.

As they say a car is a danger as is a gun. Let’s make guns locked up at least as frequent as seat belt now wearing in a car, not trying to solve the problem with huge punishments after something goes wrong.

America needs new vision. In the last election “A Green New Deal for America”, which the Green Party presented didn’t manage to inspire America. It is time for a US ceasefire, domesticity and internationally. Trying to ban automatic weapons the immediate result is a lot of new people trying to buy and otherwise obtain them. It took years for gun violence to go down in England.

Americans are united in wanting to do something about senseless violence, can we come up with something positive? Let’s get a new third choice movement started.

Suicidal maniacs both political and non political have plagued our society of late. The fact they were killed or managed to die seems to inspire others to copy them. However no one dreams of spending the rest of their lives in jail. Let’s rune this fantasy by making sure they would live. Spider-man comics started out with spiderweb weapons. There is also stun guns and percussion devices. Adam Lanza would have stopped after he killed his mother if he feared there was something at the school that could make him helpless to be kept locked up like he was trying to avoid.

Suggestion number 2.

Keep guns locked up. Bank robbers, store clerks and police officers want guns to protect themselves with if someone was shooting at them. In England they wouldn’t fear being shot or crave a gun. If guns had to be locked up. Police officers would not be shot with their own gun. They were clamoring for finger print trigger locks but so far the terminology isn’t there.

However there are fingerprint gun boxes. Some can hold a small gun as a side pouch. Crimes like robbery suddenly are considered extremely serious if a robber has a gun. If a crime suddenly was considered more serious when a gun wasn’t locked up a bank robber who couldn’t afford a gun box would carry a gun in a padlocked duffel bag with only one move needed to open the combination lock. The gun with almost everyone would be locked up some of the time just like almost everyone wears a seat belt in certain situations.

Insurance companies insist that bank robbers aren’t apprehended by store or bank clerks and push that customers don’t interfere as well,

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/03/devin-mcclean-autozone-employee-fired-robbery_n_2220219.html

Internationally insurance companies do the same with piracy. They know that if a robber is stopped by being shot the next time thieves will be far more trigger happy and the insurance company in the end suffer substantial loses. The female officer who managed to wound not kill the Army Psychiatrist at Fort Hill massacre purposely saving his life managed to stop a lot of copy cat incidents if that is what al Qaeda wanted, by paralyzing not killing.

Places like Philadelphia were a lot of people aren’t allowed to own guns. Timid people, girl friends or neighbors are pressed into buying one, or fear, or the no snitch ethic prevents a neighbor from going to the police after they were robbed of their gun by an acquaintance.

I would like someone to try to do a survey on how many people who crave a gun to try to prevent themselves from being shot by someone else, actually don’t manage to get one,

http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states

The amount of lives saved from outlawing illegal guns may equal the jail time that possibly offenders are serving.

Our society was ravaged with a war on drugs and a war on terror. Finally the prison population began to go down. Now we suddenly have a war on guns almost destined to make prisons overcrowded again.

December 10, twenty two US Representatives both progressive Democrats, and libertarian leaning Republicans signed a joint letter calling for cuts in the Pentagon. Then came the Connecticut elementary school massacre and they spit down the middle over gun control.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?398106-Massie-Amash-join-bipartisan-group-in-calling-for-cuts-to-Pentagon

Gun violence went down 60% in El Salvador, far more in Northern Ireland after the ceasefire and truce.

The big problem in Afghanistan is that no one in the US, hawk or dove, is paying attention to what is happening on the ground. What does Karzai and the Taliban each want? Afghan President Karzai represents his tribe, the city of Kabul and the Shiite minority in Afghanistan. The Taliban represents those who crave the traditional rural way of life. The Haqqani Network is Muslims who hate India and Afghan President Karzai willingness to be friendly with India, and Indian businessmen. Maybe the US could call a unilateral ceasefire and stay in the US bases as long as Kabul and the Shiite areas of Afghanistan are not attacked and let the others negotiate among themselves. It worked in El Salvador and Northern Ireland whether or not this would work in Afghanistan. At any rate a war on Guns would mean that the US is in the middle of another war, while economic survival is already threatened by the drug war the war on terror and all the other wars the US has managed to be in the middle of.

Obama started out with a bring us together ideology, now he has played hot button issues with the skill of Bill Clinton. More details at the following link,

We are finally saying “No“ to the drug war and the war against terror. Don’t replace it with a war against guns. Let’s work for a Green Ceasefire in America.

Four Lame Duck lawmakers, who want substantial cuts in military spending, will be out of office January 20. Normally they would already be out of office as Congress has its Christmas break. Instead they have more active maneuvering room, then the other representatives who have to be careful who they offend,
Bernie Sanders clearly shows his wait and see attitude on his Senate website,

He is especially strong on the need for Defense Cuts,

Throughout the years Barney Frank worked hard to cut the Defense Budget, So has Dennis Kucinich, Note how strong Ron Paul is on military cuts,

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, not a lame duck, is fighting particularly hard to cut the military, not social security

http://www.africanamerica.org/displayForumTopic/content/301908390434829374/

In the following link are the names of 37 other lawmakers who want defense cuts, and which jurisdictions they represent. I urge their constituents to thank them and encourage them to do more,

According to Veterans for Peace, the small cuts Obama offered in Defense Spending is a lie because it is based on projection spending, not last years spending,

http://www.veteransforpeace.org/pressroom/news/2012/12/24/hands-social-security-make-deep-cuts-military-budget

Also it is important to read, Defense Lobby Wins,

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/defense-budget

I urge Rep.Dennis Kucinich to meet with Ron Paul and work out a joint Libertarian-Progressive-Democrat compromise budget. Then in the Senate Bernie Sanders meet with Tom Corburn to do the same.

If the budget isn’t in place  January 20, Jeff Flake could take Tom Corburn’s  place in the military cut cliff alternative budget negotiations.  In the House Jeff Flake was the most vocal against the embargo of Cuba. Since seniors are already stretching their Social Security check in more dangerous Mexico. Massive retiring to Cuba would greatly strengthen Medicare.

If Ron Paul and Kucinich don’t have an alternative budget deal by January 20, Justin Amash could take Ron Paul’s place, and Jon Kyl take Senator Sander’s place. Barbara Lee take Kucinich’s place.

A cancer is an uncontrolled growth. The fact that the military budget didn’t go down when the Cold War ended like it did when the Vietnam War ended may mean it is cancer. If so, the so called cliff is actually chemotherapy attacking the cancerous growth. Of course chemotherapy has a lot of unpleasant side effects.

If the Lame Ducks can cut out the cancerous growth there might be something called the United States over 200 years from now just like their still is a England, over 200 years from when the US tore away from the British Empire.

Note the lawmakers who realize the need for military cuts. Lets look at them as doctors who can treat a cancerous growth and urge them to do more.

There was a Bipartisan Congressional letter calling for Defense Cuts, ie  Less US Guns Roaming the World. Every single Libertarian leaning Republican signing that letter likes domestic guns ie against against gun control, while all but one of the Democratic Reps signing that joint letter is for gun control, Kurt Schrader goes to great lengths to claim to be neutral on Gun Issues

However the US faces a third choice accomplish neither. Many don’t like a Libertarian – Left alliance on the grounds of principle, or just find it disgusting, generally progressive people who go social justice or labor meetings and speak up for Ron Paul get challenged even insulted more than self-proclaimed Conservatives who praise Paul, and the other way around in pro-traditional values meetings.

Anyway if the gun control groups got together with the defense industry, putting them on their boards etc. there would be a quick assault rife ban in the US. If instead peace groups would put libertarians on the boards of their peace groups the US would quickly stop pouring arms into Syria, for both sides to end up killing each other with, and and if things backfire end up killing Americans as well. I remember hearing an old World War II joke (or was it a story) about selling our scrap metal to Japan, and getting it back during the war.

The left leaning Democrats that called on the Budget Committee to make Defense Cut are:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/116298735/Bipartisan-Defense-Savings-Letter-12-10-12

http://www.taxpayer.net/media-center/article/right-left-call-for-defense-cuts

Keith Ellison MN (NRA 0),  Barbara Lee CA (NRA 0), Michael Honda CA  (NRA 0), Jared Polis CO (NRA 0), James Moran VA (NRA 0), Barney Frank MA (the National Rifle Association seems to remove ratings when someone doesn’t seek reelection), Jerrold Nadler NY (NRA 0), Kurt Schrader OR (NRA 83% his belief seems to be, arguing is counter productive on gun issues),  Edward Markey MA (NRA 0),  Gwen Moore WI (She has a intense crusade against the NRA), Lynn Woolsey CA (NRA doesn’t rate either since she is not seeking reelection).

Before I list the Libertarian leaning Republicans who want military cuts, I will mention Ron Paul who seems to have retired a little early. Ron Paul has been extremely persuasive on Gun Control far more so than anyone with a sharp tongue to bait and thus inspire the gun control crowd.

The Republicans who insist on Defense Cuts are: Mick Mulvaney SC (NRA 92%,) Tom Mctvancy CA   (NRA 92%), Morgan Griffith VA (NRA 100), Justin Amash MN (NRA 58%)  Amash is portrayed as the new Ron Paul but not when it comes to gun issues, Raul Labrador WI (NRA 92%), Reid Ribble WI (NRA 92%), Thomas Massie KT (NRA) 92%), Dan Benishek MI (NRA 100%), Scott Garrett NJ (NRA 100%.

Justin Amash and Mick Mulvaney’s Congressional web pages are filled with material urging Defense cuts. Now that the tragic killings at an elementary school took place many who want defense cuts have partly moved much of their focus instead to domestic gun issues.

The only way that tragedy could have been averted is to either ban assault weapons or else requiring that those with a license to have then have a finger print electronic trigger lock that allows only the owner to fire it, and sends signals though the internet for tracking purposes if anyone starts to try to jimmy the finger print lock. Attempting this will guarantee that children in Syria will continue to die from US military aid, and the US will continue to have a overwhelming financial burden from defense spending. The choice is gun deaths at home, or US  international guns aid and US gun firings around the world and overwhelming military expense. Before his district got redistricted from under him people used to rely on Dennis Kusinich when it comes to peace issues, if  Justin Amash and  Raul Labrador became a team they could, in a somewhat different way, be just as powerful.

There is an excellent article in AntiWar.com The Amash Rebellion I wish I had the authority to reprint the entire article here,

Americans are sick and tired of war, they are incredulous when they see their own country going down the tubes while our preening politicians plot “regime change” in faraway lands, and they positively hate “foreign aid. So why – if the US is a “democracy,”   . . .

44 Representatives signed a letter proposing Defense cuts (See above link). It’s bipartisan if you are in their district thank them. If not let’s demand our Reps sign a new letter joining them.

Click on the above link for names than if your rep. is not on it demand they join the letter asking for defense cuts.

Also there is an effort afoot to fire House Speaker John Boehner. rge your Rep. to pick a new speaker who were among the signers of the letter demanding Defense cuts.

We mustn’t let the retirement rise, unfairly attacking those who are now age 64 with little immediate affect on revenue. However readjustment the cost of living increase formula and at the same time making a 30 to 60% cut in the military budget would be better than keeping today’s constantly increasing military budget and today’s cost of living increase formula at the same time, because it is better to have a small piece of hardy cheese cake, than a constantly rising amount of whipped cream, that will all blow away when the currency collapse.
