This is an encouraging story of American determination which I'm happy to report, is still alive and well in Pahrump, Nevada.

Apparently, one member of the town council put an item on the agenda regarding barring firearms "on town-owned property, in town-owned buildings and at town-sponsored events".  Well the town turned out IN FORCE to this meeting and the gun ban was promptly removed from the agenda.

That didn't stop the 200 or so people from wanting to speak their minds.

A man stating he was from District 5 was first to speak. His name was lost in the noise of the crowd as they reacted to the fact they would not be able to speak on the matter. "The colors have been shown," he said. "We are not okay with this. We can see what's coming in this country. The government is getting out of control. When it comes to gun rights and the Second Amendment, we can't give any more ground. We have zero tolerance on this issue."

The speaker paused as the hall broke out in thunderous applause.

The Board Chairman tried to "move on" to other agenda items but the people would have nothing of it:

Shupp used her gavel to quiet the room, again saying the board would move on to the next agenda item, but a male voice from the back of the auditorium called out, "All in favor of hearing the question say 'Aye'."

"Ayes" rang out in the community center.

Shupp was not swayed in her determination to move to the next item. She told those in attendance that the gun ban was permanently removed from the agenda but they were invited to come back and comment at the next regularly scheduled meeting. She said, "We'll be here until midnight if everyone in the room takes a turn at the podium."

People shouted out they wanted to know why a gun ban was on the agenda in the first place, but no answer was forthcoming.

"You are not going to be re-elected madam," called out someone from the back of the hall.

Harley Kulkin addressed Shupp and the board, saying, "If you don't have time to listen to the people who elected you, you shouldn't run for public office."

Well said Harley Kulkin!!!

Let me just state unequivocally that I stand behind the residents of Pahrump, Nevada in their "in your face" style of confronting this town board and in their outspoken desire to protect the Second Amendment.

I think the next four years will see a huge challenge to our Constitution and our Contsitutionally protected rights since Washington DC now is controlled by the liberal, social "progressives" otherwise known as COMMUNISTS and we must do EVERYTHING to keep them from succeeding in dismantling our REPUBLIC!
