Category: Gun Grabbing Fascists

So, every liberal worth his/her salt is out there this weekend telling us how guns are out of control after that little retarded turd in Charleston horrendously murdered nine innocent Americans during their Bible-study group earlier. Marty O’Malley is “pissed”, to use his word, that too many law-abiding Americans own guns – his solution is to ban “assault weapons” even though turd-boy used a handgun. Hillary Clinton spoke this weekend about the issue, according to CNN;

“I lived in Arkansas and I represented upstate New York. I know that gun ownership is part of the fabric of a lot of law abiding communities,” Clinton said. “I also know that we can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable while respecting responsible gun owners.”

The comment earned a sustained round of applause from the mayors assembled for the conference.

So, look, can we talk about this rationally without the emotional outbursts? Banning a rifle because it has a bayonet lug on the barrel won’t change gun violence in this country, but that’s what it boils down to – emotion. O’Malley took the easy route – appealing to the ignorant masses with the image of a scary-looking gun. Clinton talks about “common sense gun reforms” without telling us what reforms would be “common sense” above and beyond what is already law.

Charleston’s Glock-boy already broke laws when he had a gun in his possession. He was charged with a felony – that precluded him from having a gun in his hand. Period. I guess he didn’t care about gun laws as he set about to commit yet another crime. Murder is illegal, too, by the way.

You know what? If someone wants to explain to me which “common sense” controls they want to place on gun owners and if they want to explain to me exactly how those “common sense” controls will make us safer, I may just agree. But, when they make broad gestures intended to make us feel guilty about our ownership of legal firearms that we use legally every minute of every day, they’re just farting in the wind. Stop treating legal gun owners like we’re a bunch of children and talk to us like we’re adults and you may just get an adult response from us.

I have several guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition, but I’ve never committed a crime with those guns, some I’ve owned for more than four decades in several states. Stop treating me like a criminal and start talking to me like the law-abiding, responsible citizen that I am, or STFU.

Marty O’Malley, the former mayor of that successfully gun-violence-free city, Baltimore and governor of crime-free Maryland is “pissed” about Charleston (and the rest of us aren’t, I guess) so he wants to go medieval on guns;

It’s time we called this what it is: a national crisis.

I proudly hold an F rating from the NRA, and when I worked to pass gun control in Maryland, the NRA threatened me with legal action, but I never backed down.

So now, I’m doubling down, and I need your help. What we did in Maryland should be the first step of what we do as a nation. The NRA is already blaming the victims of yesterday’s shooting for their own deaths, saying they too should have been armed. Let’s put an end to this madness and finally stand up to them. Here are some steps we should be taking:

1. A national assault weapons ban.

2. Stricter background checks.

3. Efforts to reduce straw-buying, like fingerprint requirements.

First, I’d warn O’Malley that the NRA is made up of millions of voters. It’s not some evil corporation, but millions of gun owners many of whom joined the organization in the wake of the last pronouncement of a “national crisis” when the government tried to come for our guns. So, take pride in that “F” grade at the polling station, too. How would a “national assault weapon ban” have prevented the horrible murders in Charleston? By the way, even if that little shit had used what you call an “assault weapon” how would banning flash suppressors, bayonet lugs and pistol grips have stopped it? I’m waiting patiently for your answer.

If the little murdering turd did purchase a weapon after his felony drug arrest, that was illegal already. So how are you going to make more illegal, Marty?

More than likely, it was law enforcement’s fault for not providing accurate data for the NICS system. If he bought it before his arrest, again that’s a function of law enforcement to take any of his weapons from him. How do you make background checks stricter, when the system depends on accurate information going in and that information isn’t being entered? How is that going to prevent the next guy from buying a weapon if all you’re going to do is make it harder for the law-abiding gun owners.

How is fingerprinting going to reduce straw-buyers? If they can make a straw purchase now without fingerprinting, they’ll be able to make the same straw purchase after you fingerprint them.

That’s what he’s got…pointless blather that will only impress the other morons who don’t understand the issue. Scary-looking guns scare the idiots, so we have to remove the scary guns from their sight. And we all know that the criminals are scared of new laws with which they’ll have to comply.

There have been 40 homicides in the last 30 days (as of last night) in Baltimore, 136 so far this year. I’m sure they were all committed by legal gun owners with legal guns.

Vote O’Malley if you want the whole country gun violence-free like Baltimore!!!

You remember Jim Cooley, right? He was the fellow who took his long gun to the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport earlier this month. His intention was some bone-headed plan to make people more comfortable with seeing citizens carrying scary black guns in public. Of course, Mr. Cooley neglected to consider the idiot drama queens’ reactions to the news reports. Idiot drama queens like Georgia’s own Hank (Guam might tip over) Johnson who now wants to restrict law abiding citizens from carrying firearms in areas this side of TSA security checkpoints, according to The Hill;

Transportation Security Administration rules currently prohibit passengers from carrying guns beyond security checkpoints in carry-on luggage, but some weapons can be packed into checked baggage if they are unloaded and locked in cases.

Johnson’s office said the measure “would expand Homeland Security’s jurisdiction to include non-secure areas of airports and would take precedence over any city or state laws that allow weapons in any airports nationwide.

“The gun ban would include public transportation stops within airports if the gun owner departs the transit station at an airport,” Johnson’s office said.

“Law-abiding gun owners would still be able to carry guns if they are unloaded and contained in clearly marked, locked cases,” the Georgia Democrat’s office continued. “Airports would also be required to post signs that clearly indicate they are gun-free zones.”

Yeah, because those “gun-free zone” signs have been saving lives since forever. Or not. When I go to airports to pick up friends and family, I carry a firearm concealed (if it’s lawful to do so) and I’ve never been approached by law enforcement, or the media. Nor have I ever shot anyone, but airports have been targets in the past and I don’t plan on being a victim.

So thank you, Mr. Cooley, for knotting Mr. Johnson’s flowered, silky panties. Maybe Johnson can name his bill after you.

The Hill reports on a recent study by the Violence Policy Center which claims that gun owners are more likely to commit a crime in the United States with their firearm that to protect themselves. From The Hill;

According to the study, gun owners committed 259 justifiable homicides compared to 8,342 criminal homicides in 2012, the most recent year data was available.

That means gun owners are 32 times more likely to kill someone without cause than to act in self-defense, the study reasoned.

“We hope legislators in every state will stop believing the self-defense myth and look at the facts,” says Julia Wyman, executive director of States United to Prevent Gun Violence. “Guns do not make our families or communities safer.”

Yeah, well, I guess that would be true if those eight thousand homicides were committed by legal gun owners. The VPC doesn’t seem to discriminate between legal and illegal gun owners, they just lump in all homicides together.

I also dispute the number of “justifiable homicides” as the total number of American citizens who protect themselves and their families with firearms. Since we run our daily series of those “feel good” stories that make it to their local news programs across the country, how many of those stories don’t involve “goblins” who aren’t killed? Some are wounded and recover, others simply surrender to the armed citizen, and other abandon their criminality all together and go on the lam.

We have had at least one of those stories everyday for over three years. Does the Violence Policy Center think that those people don’t deserve to be alive, or to continue owning their property, or that their families don’t deserve to be safe? In my own case, because the people who wish me ill stay away completely because they know what the end result will be. How does the VPC quantify that? Well, they don’t.
