Critique Of The Virginia Tech Review Panel: Nothing ...

by John Longenecker

it is utterly amazing how educators walk in darkness because they will not see the light.
_________________________________________________
In analyzing the Virginia Tech Review Panel’s Report to the Governor since it came out, I have praise for the overall analysis. I have praise for the Police and EMS who responded with a well-organized response plan. It was [...]

D.C. v. Heller: Militia, You Say . . . Arms Within ...

by John Longenecker

Today, the anti-violence movement is, itself, predatory. It picks at minutiae and it misleads the public in order to, itself, thrive. This competition for survival comes at the expense of the nation.
Americans don’t have guns for food, we have guns to block tricks and boondoggles where we as armed citizens can handle the immediate [...]

D.C. v. Heller: Gun Bans Reflect A Tragic Mistrust ...

by John Longenecker

In denial of due process for Washingotonians by way of a D.C. Gun Ban, then ignoring an Appeals Court adverse ruling in due process finding the ban unconstitutional, the District of Columbia runs to the Supreme Court for Due Process.
______________________________________________
The Supreme Court has decided to hear D.C. v. Heller and already the disinformation spin [...]

For Non-Gun Owners: D.C. v. Heller and Nutshell 2A.

by John Longenecker

I was so very pleased to join Bob Parks on his show, Outside The Wire last night, November 13th. We talked about gun bans and what personal weapons are all about. Thanks again for having me, Bob.
The Supreme Court Of the United States may soon decide whether to hear District Of Columbia v. Heller, [...]

The Empty Holster Protest: What America Didn’ ...

by John Longenecker

Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, contended in a Fox News report that self-defense advocates have no business on college campuses. Quite an education our kids are getting.
____________________________________________________
The entire anti-violence movement should know by now that disarming citizens cannot prevent violence. The anti-violence movement is a boondoggle.
October 26th [...]

Congratulations To Bobby Jindal – A Win For D ...

by John Longenecker

Congratulations to Bobby Jindal for his win of the Governor’s office of the state of Louisiana. Governor-elect Jindal’s first act as chief executive of Louisiana is to call an emergency meeting of his state’s assembly.
The agenda is to clean house of corruption. I have praised Bobby Jindal in my book – Transfer of Wealth [...]

Gun Control Is Not Where Crime Is Fought. Californi ...

by John Longenecker

Crime is not fought by chasing it – crime may be caught by chasing it, but such after-the-fact agony for victims of crime cannot work as well as promised when it so profoundly vexes the rights of the very people the law was alleged to serve. The Agony is when gun control obfuscates and punishes [...]

School Shootings, Part III: The Indecency Of Colleg ...

by John Longenecker

Yes, Indecency.
In previous editions of Good For The Country, I mentioned how wrongful death lawsuits may play an important role in reclaiming the sovereignty of the adult students murdered on a campus which had no power to stop a shooter and which frustrates the target from acting in self-defense. Yes, adult students submit to the [...]

School Shootings: How Do Universities Teach When Th ...

by John Longenecker

A credibility issue mistaken as a safety issue.
As most of my readers know, I do not write for gun owners, but specifically for the Non-gun owners. What do 80 million gun owners know that non-gun owners don’t know? Primarily, that self-defense is not an opinion of any one group, it is a life skill [...]

Parker v. D.C.: If I Could Speak To The Supreme Cou ...

by John Longenecker

The District Of Columbia, moved so by an appellate court decision against its thirty-year-long gun ban, has elected to file with the Supreme Court. I wish I could address the Supreme Court.
In arguing that weapons applies only to militias, the District fails to understand that Militia as defined by United States Code applies to civilians [...]

Guns On Campus: Advice To Nevada Colleges.

by John Longenecker

See also www.GoodForTheCountry.com
According to Las Vegas News 3 and LasVegasNow.com, Nevada colleges are acknowledging not only how serious school shootings are, but are looking at arming faculty. This is entirely the wrong direction for several reasons.
1. Many Nevadans are already well trained, qualified and background-checked. Nevada is a right-to-carry state, and concealed carry of [...]

Guns On Campus: The Preponderance Of Public Policy ...

by John Longenecker

Let me add to the June 20th, 2007, CollegiateTimes.com article, States look at gun policies, debate on-campus weapon carry. It’s positively encouraging because it reports on a movement sweeping the nation. The bottom line on the question will be public policy and interest.
Question: is it more in the public interest to see students carrying [...]

What Free Americans Fear Most Is Nearer Now.

by John Longenecker

It fact, some believe it’s here now.
What a free people fear most is the assumption of powers not granted, compounded by indifference to our way of life and backing that indifference with official force. Even worse, the deliberate deteriorization of conditions to usher in self-dealing solutions even more adverse to our way of life. [...]

Defaming Patriotism

by John Longenecker

Patriotic Organizations operate in the public interest, and because of this, the United States Government has seen fit to make them tax exempt. Most Americans agree with this because supporting such organizations is a vote of a sort, you might say, where donations to a non-profit charity of their choice are the voice of the [...]

Guns: Turn ?em In, Officials.

by John Longenecker

Senator Dianne Feinstein said of personal guns, “Turn ‘em in, America,” a very unpatriotic command nobody has to obey because it was against the law. She might as well have urged Americans to purchase other Americans while it’s against the law to own another person in this country. As civil rights, both are absolute, and [...]

Answering Brady Center.. Again: Academic Freedom an ...

by John Longenecker

Because Freedom and Guns mix.
Speaking of academic, the non-profit Brady Center hasn’t learned about Freedom, if their May 3rd, 2007 release is any indication. The Center interferes with American Freedom as it claims to operate in the public interest making the argument against Freedom.
Mentioning in its press releases that the Center is a non-profit, so-called [...]

Gun Control, Virginia Tech and Answering Brady Camp ...

by John Longenecker

In a May 1st announcement, The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence pronounced a gun violence epidemic in this country (again), and vows to hold officials accountable for not enacting more severe restrictions on a civil right.
Every year, many more extensive numbers are hurt by knifings, rapes, robberies, beatings, chokings, multi-assailant attacks and, of course, [...]

Victim Disarmament Zones, Part III: Anti-gun Is Jus ...

by John Longenecker

Who in this country need Leaders who are so stubborn? Who in this country need leaders at all? We don’t have leaders here, we have executives.
Americans tolerate a lot if they believe it will help a crisis, and many good-natured helpful can be fooled and talked out of their authority in liberty by [...]

Virginia Tech Victim Disarmament Zone, Part II: Wha ...

by John Longenecker

Good For The Country as a syndicated feature isn’t for gun owners; the feature is written for the non-gun owner and heads of household n identifying adversity to our way of life here, this time in an analysis of the Virginia Tech Massacre, Part II. This may sound harsh, but precisely how to optimize any [...]

Good For The Country Launches As A Non-profit Found ...

by John Longenecker

Beginning my third year at MENS NEWS DAILY is quite a milestone for me.
I have written about many adversities to our way of life, primarily threats to the American Household, and I’m glad for the opportunity here to speak to these issues.
I am also very pleased to announce the launch of the charity [...]

Castle Doctrine Making Its Way Across America.

by John Longenecker

The Castle Doctrine is now in Texas awaiting Governor Perry’s signature.
Critics opposed to the Castle Doctrine and who are urging Governor Perry to nix it fail to understand the concept. It’s not hard to grasp if you love people, it’s hard to follow if you disrespect people.
Editorials encourage Texas Governor Perry to veto [...]

Marshalik and Pekearo Died For Nothing, Part II: Of ...

by John Longenecker

Every time a Police Officer is shot, we hear that the police are outgunned. Yet, there is usually a lot more to a story than that which every household should know.
Take the murder of two NYC Auxiliary Officers Marhalik and Pekearo whom I mentioned in Part I. How is it that these officers weren’t trained [...]

Officers Marshalik and Pekearo Died For Nothing.

by John Longenecker

Let me be frank: In encountering a wild shooter in New York’s Greenwich Village last week, reservist officers Eugene Marshalik and Nicholas Pekearo died needlessly.
I am informed by police who correspond with me that police are not really trained to handle crimes they witness off-duty. Some write me that it’s discouraged as their departmental policy. [...]

RFID Silencing Opposing Views.

by John Longenecker

In a report of SearchSecurity.com, one Chip Maker reportedly pressured away from debate and exhibition a demonstration of how the Flea – the microscopic RFID Chip you don’t want on you – can be cloned.
In the security business, cloning any identification whatsoever breaches security. It punches a hole in the boat so the very idea [...]

2008 Part II: Candidates, Since When Is Self-defens ...

by John Longenecker

Since the concept of even-handedness, so-called conflict resolution, zero-tolerance policies in school and workplace, and assigning mutual blame in fighting.
Conflict and self-defense have been put in the wrong perspective for decades, and this leaves a dark void for the non-gun owner families who believe in law and order but, as a substantial difference with gunnies, [...]

2008: Pilot Program: Repeal All Gun Laws For Five Y ...

by John Longenecker

Given the successes of those states issuing concealed carry permits to citizens, I suggest a nationwide pilot program: the repeal of all anti-gun laws – all 22,000 of them — for a period of five years. This includes a moratorium on all new gun laws for five years, and suspension of all court cases pending [...]
