Sunday, 13 January 2013, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - The California Teachers Pension Fund, the country's largest teachers' pension fund as well as its largest such investor for many years apparently has helped California teachers live out more comfortable retirements by investing heavily in manufacturers of arms including guns and ammunition of all types, including military guns illegal in California, more lethal military ammunition, and high-capacity so-called "banana clips" for the effective uninterrupted firing of rounds from assault and other military weapons.
The California Teachers Pension Fund reportedly is considering reducing such investment in the wake of the Nation's most recent weeks' domestic firearms massacre as almost always perpetrated by male teenagers and unhappy younger men armed with easily legally obtained military assault weapons outfitted with banana clips and/or other accessories to help insure the uninterrupted (and unskilled) hunting down of tens of unarmed schoolchildren and other civilians.
Particularly infamous such massacres have occurred in Columbine, Ohio, as well as others by somewhat older males in the attempted slaying at an Arizona "meet and greet" of United States Representative Gabrielle Giffords shot through the middle of the head, the Texas clock tower sniper, the San Ysidro, California McDonald's massacre particularly frustrating to law enforcement as it continued unabated for about one half hour as the restaurant had all mirrored windows and thus obscured officers' vision as the killer methodically hunted down diners outfitted in camouflage gear and face paint who before leaving home down the street reportedly told his wife he was "going out hunting".
Other such massacres allegedly have been perpetrated by more uniquely memorable aggressors such as the soft-spoken Army psychiatrist who in recent years left his office at Fort Hood and walked along a row of near-naked unarmed soldiers awaiting physical exams and shot them to death one by one. To his credit Idiot Texas Liar Governor Rick "Payback" Perry himself did use only his (laser-sighted) "six-shooter" for "defensive" purposes to become the first person known in North America to claim that the killing was in self-defense of an attacking coyote while Perry was out on his morning run with his enormous armed security detail. (He corrected reports of his account during the following day upon learning a coyote never had attacked and killed a human in North America with his revised story of having pulled the laser-sighted revolver from the back of his running shorts and killing the coyote in defense of his Labrador Retriever.)
Right on the heels of the country's most recent massacre in Newtown, Connecticut the proprietor of a four times annual gun "show" in Saratoga Springs, New York told media that he was determined and proud to continue with his gun "show" with apparent strong support of many gun "show" attendees whose hands he personally shook as they entered the "show" less than a month after the Newtown massacre. Many attendees congratulated him on his bravery and fortitude on going ahead with the "show" even in the face of angry verbal protests against it. Meanwhile his wife attested to the selling out of military assault-style weapons and accessories at their own gun shop as well as others around the country, with a line of waiting mostly male buyers she described as lined up for two blocks waiting to get in and make purchases.
The use of quotations as follows around the word "show" is intended to suggest that the Ninth Amendment editorial staff believes to some extent the word "show" in the context of basically completely uncontrolled arms flea markets across this country on Main Street, USA attended by effectively unregulated sellers and buyers of questionable legal status to be engaging in the sale of what are often basically akin to weapons of war might be considered by some to be a misnomer which is better avoided as misleading..
In the wake of the most recent Newtown massacre debate raged across the United States if the ready availability of such weapons of war has been a positive domestic development for the United States. Tens of thousands of gun dealers who have obtained virtual mail order "licenses" are authorized under United States law for the retail often effectively unrecorded trafficking in arms including those with no other apparent intended use other than engaging in warfare against armed combatants. Included amongst these are military assault weapons with marginally clever modifications to make them just as effective as those used by such groups as insurgents and criminal governments the world over. Of course use in the United States considerably reduces the "fear factor" of having unarmed civilians such as schoolchildren actually fire back.
Nearly all purchasers reportedly are young men, many apparently purchasing such arms out of concern that some Government, presumably theirs, will attempt to abrogate some Constitutional right to own such weapons which they in some cases understand to emanate presumably from the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. That Amendment implicitly provides for the establishment of a militia in times of need instead of the maintenance of a permanent standing army, such as was warned against by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his final White House televised live address to the Nation. Such weapons, perhaps with none-to-difficult modifications, are expected by many who obtain them to provide for their defense should they be attacked by their own country. The United States, however, is known to possess weapons of mass destruction as well as large amounts of presumably heavier weaponry than assault rifles.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all innocent souls whose lives directly and indirectly have been harmed and/or destroyed by the past weeks most recent United States home soil massacre. God Bless America.
