Trutanich shows real public nuisances are politicians who discard supporters

A story reported in March by CBS Los Angeles about a draft ordinance to confiscate “public nuisance clips” has been gaining notice recently, and a commonality many gun rights advocates commenting on it shares is they’re missing a key element, probably because most don’t know the back story.

Most are focused on the outrageousness of demanding such tyrannical action, which are actually unsurprising considering where this is happening, and considering the anti-gun fanatic who proposed the ordinance, L.A. City Councilmember Paul Krekorian. Few are remarking on the hypocritical irony of City Attorney Carmen Trutanich not only drafting it, but adding his personal endorsement.

“We believe this ordinance supports Councilmember Krekorian’s interest in getting high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets,” Trutanich remarked. “Cities across the country must stand up to America’s gun violence epidemic and do whatever possible to save lives and spare families from the needless tragedy of firearm death and injury.”

Why is this hypocritical and ironic?

“Before he became city attorney, Trutanich's law firm represented the National Rifle Association in litigation against L.A. and other jurisdictions that passed gun control laws,” LA Weekly reminded readers. “Trutanich got the NRA endorsement in 2009, and said at the time that he did not see a need for new gun control measures. When he was criticized on the issue during that campaign, he said that his law partner, Chuck Michel, handled the NRA cases."

Ashrak said...: Kinda like NRA teaming up with DEMOCRATS in Illinois to pass "the strictest shall issue legislation in the country" that BANS the carrying of RIFLES , when in just DAYS we will be able to legally and lawfully carry pistols and rifles openly or concealed absent any carry permission slip structure.

The NRA is actively undermining the exercise of the RIGHT to bear arms in Illinois. All while CLAIMING how hard it's working for the Second Amendment. It's CONNING followers into begging for permission slips when all that HAS to happen is WAIT for June 9!
The court already ordered that the BAN on carry is unconstitutional. Citizens have ALREADY WON- there is no need for legislation. The NRA is acting nefariously and should be called out in each and every example of it.; May 18, 2013 at 11:44 AM
William Flatt said...: This is why in 2007 I tendered my resignation from NRA's life membership just a few years after becoming a GOA lifer.

When I learned from 2004 forward just how much the NRA had done to betray gun owners, I resolved to never contribute to their coffers ever again, but instead educate gunowners and recommend to them that they join GOA instead.; May 21, 2013 at 8:53 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
