Is Concealed Carry in Home Safe and Effective? Explore Its Usage Steps

Choosing to keep a gun for home defense comes with many responsibilities and essential factors to consider. First, gun owners need to know the local laws about owning and using firearms. They should also understand how to store guns safely to keep them away from unauthorized users, especially children. Also, it's important for potential owners to get proper training to handle their firearms safely in emergencies. Regular practice with the gun is vital to staying skilled. Finally, it’s crucial to think about the serious ethical issues related to using a gun, as the outcomes of such choices can be very significant and life-changing. This article will look at the steps involved in handling concealed carry, with a particular focus on making sure it is safe and effective. Understanding the Basics of Concealed Carry Concealed carry means carrying a hidden handgun on your body or nearby. For home defense, it helps homeowners feel more secure against unexpected dangers. The first step to safely and effectively carrying a concealed weapon at home is getting proper training and education. This includes learning how the gun works, practicing safe handling, and regularly practicing to stay skilled and confident. Legal Considerations and Permitting One of the critical legal aspects of concealed carry within the home is obtaining the necessary permits. In states like Louisiana, securing a Concealed Carry Permit is a legal requirement that makes sure that the carrier has undergone the required background checks and training. This legal endorsement not only educates individuals on the laws surrounding firearms but also emphasizes the responsibilities of owning and using a firearm for home defense.

Concealed Carry and Religious Safety

As concerns about safety grow in all areas, the conversation is also shifting to unconventional places like churches. The topic of having concealed carry in church is getting more attention, as many people want to improve the security of their worship spaces. This requires careful consideration, balancing respect for the church's importance with the practical steps needed to keep it safe. Training that focuses on the unique situations in these environments can help people make smart choices about when and how to carry a firearm responsibly. The Role of Firearms in Home Defense Choosing the suitable home defense handgun involves several factors, including-

ease of use,

reliability,

and the comfort level of the user.

The ideal firearm for home defense should be accessible yet secure, minimizing the risk of accidents while ensuring it is ready for use when necessary. Equally important is the placement of the firearm within the home, which should be strategically thought out to prevent unauthorized access while allowing quick accessibility in emergency situations. Overview Carrying a concealed firearm for home defense comes with significant responsibilities. Gun owners need to know the local laws, store their guns safely, and get proper training. Legal permits are necessary for responsible ownership, and safety conversations also include places like churches.

"Sen. Blake Miguez, R-New Iberia, filed the legislation. He says the bill is a practical solution to crime because it will put 'law-abiding citizens on an equal footing with violent criminals.'”

Arming seventeen-year-olds without requiring training or a permit. What could possibly go wrong?

Tom Gurney hcs cause he’s my fav

Tom is autistic.

His special interest are conspiracy theories and unsolved mysteries.

His favorite teacher is Mr. Galloway. He likes that Mr. Galloway doesn’t thinks he’s crazy about his theories and helps Tom flesh them out more.

Tom cannot swim. He is actually afraid of deep bodies of water, especially the ocean.

Tom is also afraid of the dark. He sleeps with a light on. His paranoia gets the better of him and wraps his perception of the shadows.

He also has difficulty sleeping. Tom struggles with insomnia a lot. Nightmares also disturb his sleep.

Time can’t really remember his nightmares. However, he does recall them being loud and graphic.

He doesn’t remember much of his childhood at all. Tom only really recounts living in Cottonmouth Louisiana in his younger years before moving to Bullworth when he was 12.

His best friend is Wade. Tom and Wade are usually seen together. Whenever one is alone the usual question is: “Where’s the rest of ya?��

Tom has a nagging feeling that the family he lives with isn’t his real family.

Tom has an older sister, but she’s in college. Like Tom, she doesn’t remember her childhood.

Tom suspects his own life is a conspiracy within itself. He feels as if he’s been lied to almost all his life. He’s quietly working to uncover what he can.

Tom Gurney is the biological son of Daniel Lamb. The project wiped Tom and his sister’s memories so they could not recall any of their childhood spent with Daniel, or the brutal murder of their mother.

Tom was placed in the custody of the Gurney family in Bullworth, and he was made to believe this was his biological family. His name was also changed to conceal his former identity.

Tom KNOWS that Mr. Galloway knows something that he doesn’t. He’s trying to chip away at the lies and get the drunken truth out of him.

Over the time Tom has been looking into his past, he has become paranoid of the people around him. He does t fully trust anyone. Not even Wade.

Even Tom doesn’t know exactly how he got his permanent black eye. He suspected it has something to do with his forgotten childhood though.

Tom often gets migraines and has bad allergies in the spring. He’s also allergic to dogs.

During the summer Tom works at a roller skating rink.

Tom hates shoes because he simply can’t find shoes that fit him comfortably.

Tom does remember being excluded when he was younger. He was always the last one picked for sports and projects and was always pushed out of the conversation because he was the weird kid.

Tom still carries that baggage around with him and that’s why he is often mean to others and is paranoid about being made fun of.

Over the years Tom has become painfully self aware. It’s why he’s sort of turning the other cheek and realizing that bullying is wrong. However it’s the only way he can get by in Bullworth without having a hard time.

During the winter Tom ice skates. He’s no fight skater or hockey player but he’s not falling on his ass.

Tom is the worst person to be in a snowball fight with. He throws those things like they’re artillery.

He and Wade hang out in the roof of the boys dorm. They just lay and talk until they get tired and pass out.

Tom’s favorite horror movies are Black Christmas and House of 1000 Corpses.

The Unofficial Black History Book

Huey P. Newton (1942-1989)

'The Revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.' - Huey Newton

This is his story.

Huey Percy Newton was born on February 17th, 1942, in Monroe, Louisiana. The youngest of seven children to Armelia Johnson and Walter Newton, he was named after former Governor of Louisiana, Huey Long.

His family relocated to Oakland, California, in search of better economic opportunities in 1945. His family struggled financially and frequently relocated, but he never went hungry or homeless.

Growing up in Oakland, Newton recalled his white teachers making him feel ashamed for being African-American, despite never being taught anything useful. In his Autobiography, ‘Revolutionary Suicide’, he wrote – “Was made to feel ashamed of being black. During those long years in Oakland Public Schools, I did not have one teacher who taught me anything relevant to my own life or experience. Not one instructor ever awoke in me a desire to learn more or to question or to explore the worlds of literature, science, and history. All they did was try to rob me of the sense of my own uniqueness and worth, and in the process nearly killed my urge to inquire.” 

He also had a troubled childhood; he was arrested several times as a teenager for gun possession and vandalism.

Huey was illiterate when he graduated from high school, but he taught himself to read and write by studying poetry before enrolling at Merritt College. 

During his time there, he supported himself by breaking into homes in Oakland and Berkeley Hills and committing other minor offenses. He also attended Oakland College and San Francisco Law School, ostensibly to improve his criminal skills.

He joined Pi Beta Sigma Fraternity while still a student at Merritt College and met Bobby Seale, a political activist and engineer. Huey also fought for curriculum diversification, the hiring of more black instructors, and involvement in local political activities in the Bay Area. 

In addition, he was exposed to a rising tide of Black Nationalism and briefly joined the Afro-American Association, where he studied Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, E. Franklin Frazier, James Baldwin, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin.

Huey had adopted a Marxist/Leninist viewpoint in which he saw the black community as an internal colony ruled by outside forces such as white businessmen, City Hall, and the police. In October 1966, he and Bobby Seale founded The Black Panther Party for self-defense, believing that the black working class needed to seize control of the institutions that most affected their community.

It was a coin toss that resulted in Newton becoming defense minister and Seale becoming chairman of the Black Panther Party. Newton’s job as the Minister of Defense and main leader of the Black Panther Party was to write in the Ten-Point Program, the founding document of the Party, and he demanded that blacks need the “Power to determine the destiny of our Black Community”. It would allow blacks to gain “Land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, and peace.”

The Panthers took advantage of a California law allowing people to carry non-concealed weapons and established armed patrols that monitored police activity in the Black Community. 

One of the main points of focus for the Black Panther Party was the right to self-defense. Newton believed and preached that sometimes violence, or even the threat of violence, is required to achieve one's goals. 

Members of the Black Panther Party once stormed the California Legislature while fully armed in order to protest the outcome of a gun bill.

Newton also established the Free Breakfast for Children Program, martial arts training for teenagers, and educational programs for children from low-income families. 

The Black Panthers believed that in the Black struggle for justice, violence or the potential for violence may be necessary.

 The Black Panthers had chapters in several major cities and over 2,000 members. Members became involved in several shoot-outs after being harassed by police.

On October 28, 1967, the Panthers and the police exchanged gunfire in Oakland. Huey was injured in the crossfire, and while recovering in the hospital, he was charged with killing an Oakland police officer, John Frey. 

He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter the following year.

Huey was regarded as a political prisoner, and the Panthers organized a 'Free Huey' campaign led by Panther Party Minister Eldridge Cleaver. And Charles R. Geary, a well-known attorney who was in charge of Newton’s legal defense.

Newton was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in 1968 and sentenced to 2-15 years in prison. However, the California Appellate Court ordered a new trial in May 1970. The conviction was reversed on appeal, the case was dismissed by the California Supreme Court, and Huey was acquitted.

Huey renounced political violence after being released from prison. Over a six-year period, 24 Black Panther members were killed in gunfights with the police. Another member, George Jackson, was killed in August 1971 while serving time in San Quentin Prison.

The Black Panther Party, under the leadership of Newton, gained international support. This was most evident in 1970 when Newton was invited to visit China. Large crowds greeted him enthusiastically, holding copies of "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," as well as signs supporting the Panther Party and criticizing US imperialism.

In the early 1970s, Newton's leadership of the Black Panther Party contributed to its demise. He oversaw a number of purges of Party members, the most famous of which was in 1971 when he expelled Eldridge Cleaver in what became known as the Newton-Cleaver split over the party's primary function.

Newton wanted the party to be solely focused on serving African-American communities, whereas Cleaver believed the party should be focused on developing relationships with international revolutionary movements. The schism resulted in violence between the factions and the deaths of several Black Panther members. The Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) was one of several factions that had broken away from the main party.

Then, in 1974, Newton was accused of assaulting a 17-year-old prostitute named Kathleen Smith, who later died, raising the charge to murder. Instead of facing trial, Huey fled to Cuba with his girlfriend at the time, where he remained for three years. The key witness in the trial was Crystal Gray. And three Black Panther members attempted to assassinate her before she gave her testimony.

Huey returned to the States in 1976 to stand trial but denied any involvement. The jury was deadlocked, and Newton was eventually acquitted after two mistrials.

In 1978, he enrolled in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and earned his Doctorate in 1980.

"War Against the Panthers: A Study of Repression in America," his dissertation, was later turned into a book.

On charges of embezzling Panther Party funds, Huey P. Newton was sentenced to 6 months in prison followed by 18 months on probation in 1982.

On August 22, 1989, Newton was assassinated by a member of the BGF, named Tyrone Robinson.

Huey was 46 years old at the time of his assassination. Robinson was convicted of Huey’s murder in 1991 and sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. 

His wife, Fredricka Newton, carried on his legacy. 'Revolutionary Suicide,' his autobiography, was first published in 1973 and then republished in 1995.

Huey Newton was not perfect, but he did fight to protect the rights of the Black Community. The rights that we're still fighting for today.

[shituationist]

... A RAND Corporation analysis found that available evidence supported the hypothesis that concealed-carry laws may increase total homicides, and found some, albeit limited, evidence for concealed carry laws increasing violent crime in general. Likewise, researcher Stephen B. Billings found that gun ownership has a link to crime victimization: not only are people who have been victimized more likely to buy a gun to protect themselves, but they are more likely to be victimized again and have their gun stolen from them in turn. Billings found a vicious cycle of victimization leading to gun ownership, leading to theft, leading to victimization, as guns that are bought in response to victimization are then stolen, sold on the black market, and used to create new victims. This is what makes it very odd that concealed carry is touted by conservatives as a mechanism for improving public safety. So-called “constitutional carry” is more likely to make Louisiana’s streets more dangerous, and to lead to the proliferation of firearms on the black market as gun theft becomes more commonplace.

** Another argument for gun ownership comes from the far left as frequently as it does the far right, and has to do with gun ownership being a means for the preservation of liberty; that’s where the “constitutional” part of “constitutional carry” is supposed to lead you to in your head. Putting aside left-wing questions of revolutionary strategy, this law is also weaker constitutionally than its proponents let on. The second amendment does not specify concealed carry. It authorizes “the right to bear arms”, and to “bear arms” for the writers of the Constitution explicitly entailed visibly carrying a firearm in a public setting, or open carry. So-called “constitutional carry” also does nothing to restore the constitutional right to bear arms of individuals who have been felonized by the state; the abrogation of such right being one of the major contributors to mass incarceration, which, alongside mass surveillance, is possibly the greatest threat to liberty today. If the defense of liberty is what matters to someone in their defense of the right to bear arms, “constitutional carry” makes zero difference. Revolutions, anyway, aren’t made from concealed handguns, but from political parties dedicated to revolutionary struggle, and the paramilitaries attached to these parties, which are usually armed illegally (one must be armed illegally to have an arsenal that is a threat to the government), and which operate underground (sometimes literally). The provisional IRA, for example, smuggled weapons in from abroad, evading Irish and British gun control laws. While armalite rifles were sourced from North America, much more powerful weapons were sourced from elsewhere, including surface-to-air missiles provided by Gaddafi’s Libya. The Palestinian resistance depends entirely on smuggled and plundered weaponry, as well as domestically produced rockets using whatever scrap material the resistance can get its hands on. The Zapatista rebellion has maintained rebel-administered zones in the Mexican state of Chiapas for over thirty years with smuggled and sparsely used rifles, owing much of the persistence and longevity of their rebellion to their non-violent posture and reluctance to use firearms. For example, protesters loyal to the EZLN in 2001 occupied a military base in Chiapas without firing a shot or brandishing a weapon. The action resulted in the closure of the base and the re-opening of peace talks with Mexican president Vincente Fox. This is not to say that firearms are useless in the struggle or that the revolutionary left should support firearms restrictions. The best way to reduce crime would not be to arm everyone or to take everyone’s guns away, but to address the social forces that push people into lives of crime. A basic social democratic policy slate - universal healthcare, guaranteed housing, unionization of the workforce, and a robust welfare system - would go much further towards reducing crime rates than giving would-be vigilantes the go ahead to shoot first and ask questions later. There is an obvious reason why the Nordic social democracies produce fewer homicides annually than the city of New Orleans does alone. We know why the Louisiana GOP won’t go for such policies: high crime rates scare the populace into voting for policies that send taxpayer money, instead, into the pockets of politically powerful and well-connected sheriffs and their buddies in the private sector who have been enriched by mass incarceration, the Gerald Juneaus of the world who charge exorbitant rates for phone calls to and from parish jails, and who excise enormous profits from running jailhouse commissaries where they jack up the prices on goods sold to inmates; not to mention the private businesses who exploit contracted inmate labor for pennies on the dollar. Mass incarceration is big business, and high crime rates help that business grow.

How Does a Concealed Weapons Permit Influence Your Legal Rights? Explore Now!

Getting a Concealed Weapons Permit in Louisiana and other states means taking on essential responsibilities and understanding your legal rights better. This permit isn't just a way to carry a hidden gun; it's also about staying safe and following the law. In Louisiana, for example, the process to get a handgun permit is strict and involves thorough checks and training. Applicants must pass background checks to confirm they don’t have a criminal history that would disqualify them. They also need to complete training on firearm safety, how to use guns legally, and how to respond in emergencies. This article will explore how having a concealed weapons permit influences your legal rights and responsibilities in the state.

Understanding Legal Protections

A concealed weapons permit does more than just let you carry a gun. It gives you a set of rules to follow so you can legally carry your firearm. When you get a LA Concealed Carry permit, you agree to follow these rules about where and how to carry your gun. Following these rules protects you from legal issues and shows you are serious about being a responsible gun owner.

This responsible approach helps earn trust in your community and keeps everyone safer by ensuring guns are carried and used correctly.

Enhanced Responsibility and Training

Holding a permit for Concealed Carry in Louisiana or another place requires understanding the power and responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon.

This way, permit holders can make informed decisions and act responsibly in various situations, enhancing both their safety and that of others around them.

Impact on Personal Security and Community Safety

Carrying a concealed weapon influences an individual's legal rights by extending their ability to protect themselves in various situations. However, this right also impacts community safety. Cities mandate that concealed carry permit holders maintain a clear record and demonstrate consistent respect for the law, which helps ensure that firearms are handled safely and responsibly in public spaces. This requirement promotes a higher level of public trust and safety, as it ensures that only those who adhere to legal and ethical standards are permitted to carry concealed weapons. It also helps prevent potential misuse of firearms, fostering a safer environment for everyone.

Summary

Getting a Concealed Weapons Permit in Louisiana and other statesis a significant responsibility that involves more than just carrying a hidden gun. The process includes thorough checks and training to make sure people know how to handle their weapons safely. Following these rules not only helps avoid legal problems but also shows that permit holders are serious about responsible gun ownership. Those looking for experienced trainers of concealed weapons can rely on firms like Bearco Training. Their experienced trainers help you with all the necessities required for a permit. Moreover, their online and offline training courses allow you to easily adjust these skills in your daily work.

DHS and FBI Issue Warning Of Potential 'Copycat' Threats Following Deadly ISIS-Inspired New Orleans Attack

A man reacts as he prays at a memorial on Bourbon Street after it reopened to the public on January 2, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana, following an attack on January 1 which left 14 dead.

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are reportedly concerned about “possible copycat” vehicle-ramming attacks stemming from the New Orleans terror attack that occurred on New Year’s Day.

The New Year’s Day attack was carried out by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran from Texas.

The truck Jabbar utilized to carry out the attack was rented from an online site, ramming into individuals on Bourbon Street celebrating the new year, resulting in the death of 14 individuals along with 30 others suffering injuries.

Law enforcement officials revealed that Jabbar, who was killed in a shootout with police, was motivated to attack after becoming radicalized by ISIS, prompting Federal agencies to notice the vehicle ramming tactic as a potential method for future attacks.

It has also since been revealed that Jabbar had an ISIS flag on the back of his truck during the attack.

“The FBI and DHS are concerned about possible copycat or retaliatory attacks due to the persistent appeal of vehicle ramming as a tactic for aspiring violent extremist attackers. Previous attackers inspired by foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) who have conducted vehicle attacks in the United States and abroad have used rented, stolen, and personally owned vehicles, which are easy to acquire,” the joint statement read.

“Some have used additional weapons, such as firearms and knives, to attack individuals after the vehicle has stopped. Additionally, attackers may attempt to conceal and pre-position improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to supplement a vehicle attack. Targets have included pedestrians, law enforcement or military members, and crowded public venues, including festivals and commercial centers, which generally are accessible from roadways,” it continued.

Additionally, outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray recently contextualized how quickly individuals can become radicalized, leading to terrorist attacks, which has proven to be difficult for the FBI to prevent.

“Jabbar was radicalized online…and was determined to murder as many people as he could in the name of ISIS…. It is in many ways the most challenging type of terrorist threat we face. You’re talking about guys like this who radicalize not in years but in weeks and whose method of attack is still very deadly but fairly crude,” Wray stated.

The recent announcement does not provide information regarding any specific copycat attacks, rather, requesting that the public “remain vigilant” and “report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”

I cannot believe I am going to do this again no I have been watching many commercials about how trump is going to save us from crime and our Social Security would be safe well guess what people it's a lie. When trump was president that was more and more mass shootings as well as crime  in any time of other presidents, because he doesn't believe in the Gun Laws. Look it up? The confusion is people think presidents control states they don’t what they control is the gun laws. And we know that the Republican Party has sold Their souls to the NRA not caring how many people die they keep using the Second Amendment which was written at a time when the United states was surrounded by enemies it was 13 colonies with Native Americans on one side fighting for what was rightfully theirs and then we have the French the English jn  Canada the Spanish on the far south though the French and Spanish did help United States win their freedom from England if you don’t believe Spain HELPED. HERE IS A HISTORY LESSON: {   During the war, supplies and men were funneled to Continental forces through Spanish New World port cities, like New Orleans, Louisiana, and Havana in Cuba. Their aid proved crucial and undoubtedly helped the Americans defeat the British in 1781. Spain provided financing for the final siege of Yorktown in 1781 with a collection of gold and silver in Havana, then Spanish Cuba}  . They were not willing to give up their own lands which we then stole from them, especially from Spain and Native Americans, from Russia and France they have decency to pay them for the Land; Though Spain, France, and Russia also stole the land from Native Americans so they can  do manifest destiny. That is the reason you needed the 2nd amendment also it was a wilderness out there but now cities urbanization policeman which wasn't around at that time military because after the revolution that he wore there was no military do you believe they dissolved it they had to bring it back because of the whiskey riots and the 1812 war. We were a beginning nation, and we didn't even have a Navy the only thing we had thank God to Alexander Hamilton was the Coast Guard. There was no reason civilians to have Assault rifles or automatic pistols’ I don't think I have the right to have a regular gun for a normal rifle because you have a chance against that with mass shootings. I believe people should have the right to hunt animals, not each other. Hey but trump believes in giving them rights to everything as does the Supreme Court as you have seen in the latest ruling that New York does not have a right to ban other people from other states with concealed weapons I believe that we and we in New York City voted for that; I believe 70% OR 80% of the population did . What right does a court decide have to tell me who use my civil right of voting for that law that my city could live in safety that law was illegal. I believe that if anybody gets killed by a gun because someone was carrying a concealed weapon from another state when we voted for it not to happen and the Supreme Court overthrew us those justices should be sued for every dime they have because they have killed innocent Americans. They teach against abortion which I do not believe in abortion but they don't mind someone having a concealed  gun and killing people. Hypocrites that they are. These are dangerous leaders where they sell themselves to the people who have money for what most people don't realize because they seem to have forgotten every person that is in Congress or is it the presidency works for us we can fire them by not voting for them,

Now to my next peeve Christian nationalist you say you are Believers of the Lord Jesus Christ but she knows you are so nuts you want things your way and only your way and people to believe only the way you believe you want to dictate instead of giving us freedom of thought God gave us that freedom and you want to take it away Jesus never judged anybody but you guys love to judge people that's not a Christian attitude you'd love to condemn people still not a question about it I've been betrayed more times than I can count and I've forgiven everybody I've never judged anybody because I know I'm not perfect and I am not God please shut your mouth when it's time for us to die we'll see which one is right.  I do remember that Jesus says Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Another saying is Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. 7 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Jesus also said this

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?

       You wish to make America only a Christian country but your version of Christianity. Did you forget the 1st amendment of the constitution maybe I should remind you by posting here

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I think I'd rather follow the Bible since this the words of Jesus not a bunch of bullies.

Now to the next topic I see a lot of commercials about how president trump is going to protect Medical insurance, Social Security  and Medicare with help of his party. I wanna ask a question are you all insane to believe these lies trump and the Republican Party have been trying to get rid of Obamacare because insurance don't like it we don't have to pay for insurance with Obamacare do you know how much your shoes cost before Obamacare a lot of us couldn't get our medicine a lot of us couldn't go to hospitals or doctors they had to pray that Holocaust bills like Bellevue hospital the oldest hospital in America who's been taking care of all the people since it started would have the medicine and the doctors to see us and they would a lot of people have to come from far away just to get some medicine see only in this country is the medicine of business the American Medical Association thus the most they can do to stop us from getting insurance every time a president wanted was running in that platform they will pay millions of dollars in advertising to destroy them every other country medicine is not a business medicine is about taking care of people in this country AMA forgets the Hippocratic oath which all Doctors swear and here it is:

 {"I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know.

Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty.

Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter.

May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help."}

It’s all about money to them.

Watch this  money it tells how AMA could have tested the blood in the 1980s for AIDS which will give them an 85% diagnosis  if they have a disease but they didn't because it was too much money it wasn't to the doctor who's disgusted by their attitude we took every billionaire patient they gave tainted blood I told them what the AMA had done and they started suing them that the AMA started to test the blood. The movie's name is

And the Band Played On”

 SHAME ON THEM!!!!

So believe the lies this campaign is saying. Now on to Social Security and Medicare they keep saying that he's going to save it no you know what he wants to do with the money that we earned and put in for our retirement you want to just give it to stock market so they can play and invest with it this is what the Republican Party wants to do it's with  our money we earned it they didn't earn it especially since stockbrokers don't have to worry if it goes crashing because they don't lose their Social Security you want to know why? Because if you make more than $168,000 you don't have to contribute to Social Security now the Republican Party is full of billionaires, and  millionaires people who make more than $168,000 and are  friends I believe  with all these stockbrokers so if they have a crash in the stock market these people don't come out losing we the lower middle class and the poor who have worked all our lives lose our money. The only thing they care about is the commission.
