Yeah, so I voted for him because he was good on guns before Sandy Hook, but now he’s just a Chuck Schumer in sheep’s clothing. West Virginia’s junior Senator Joe Manchin hits back at the NRA in his latest ad saying he’s hasn’t changed;

From The Hill;

“They’re trying to say Joe Manchin’s changed — I haven’t changed, I’m the same Joe Manchin I’ve always been, and people back home know me,” the West Virginia lawmaker told MSNBC. “The bottom line is the leadership of the NRA in Washington has changed.”

No, Joe, you’ve changed. Before the election, you introduced legislation to make county-issued concealed carry weapon permits good in every state that allowed concealed carry – what happened to that bill? Are you still willing to push that through Congress.

The sticking point that the NRA has with your background check legislation is that maintenance of records concerning private gun sales that could become the basis for a national registration. So why don’t you show us how you haven’t changed by taking out the one thing that Chuck Schumer won’t let you take out? Are you in Schumer’s pocket?

Manchin says at the video of the video that we West Virginians should call the NRA and tell them that we support “criminal background checks”. I do support criminal background checks, but this bill treats us all like we’re criminals. There’s no reason to keep records on background checks after someone has passed through that hoop. Unless you want to know who has the guns.

Sorry, Joe, but I won’t vote for you again if you are in the pockets of the northeastern liberals who have destroyed that part of the country with their “beware the boogeymen” legislation. I came to West Virginia to get away from those effete pricks.

The New Hampshire Union Leader reports that at a rally in Concord, gun grabbing advocates included Boston Marathon bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in their symbolic reading of names of victims of gun violence since Sandy Hook. The advocates were sponsored by Nanny Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Of course, it wasn’t their fault the murderer was included, they say;

The Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign put out a statement Wednesday saying rally organizers relied on a list compiled by Slate.com of people killed by guns since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., “and his name was on the list.”

The gun control group’s statement said the rally, which began last Friday, features volunteers, survivors of gun violence and family members of those shot and killed reading the names of “victims since the Newtown tragedy to show the very real and personal cost of gun violence, and to help prevent more names from being added to a list that tragically grows longer each day.”

Tsarnaev “was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read. It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize,” the statement said.

Dinguses…or is it Dingi? I guess none of the names meant anything to them, they just read the names out without thinking about who the people were…only the number of dead people mattered to the little kool-aid guzzlers.

By the way, Organizing for Action, which spun off from Obama For America had an anti-gun rally in San Bernardino, CA which attracted almost more than three people;

The protest drew three members of Organizing for Action, a nonprofit group that supports President Barack Obama’s agenda, to the National Orange Show Events Center.

“It’s three people today, but it will be 23 next time, and we’ll see the time after that,” Lewis said.

Yeah, 23 would be overwhelming, too.

So, Joe Bite Me, made his big statement about how he’s going to come after law abiding citizens to make the world safer from the White House today. According to the Washington Times, Bite Me referring to new background checks regulations said;

“We will get it. We will be back. And we will, in fact, improve the lives and safety of all the children in America who should look at school as the safest place in the world they can be,” he said.

Mr. Biden said the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” in the gun debate, and that those who stand in the way will now pay a political price.

Now, if I remember correctly, before the vote in Congress for background checks back in April, Biden said that he was aware of the fact that legislation wouldn’t make a difference in whether we’re all safer or not, but now, just getting background checks for private sales will make schools “the safest place in the world [children] can be”. Doesn’t he have a couple of corpses of dead children he can drag to make his point yet?

Let’s be clear about something, enhanced background checks wouldn’t have prevented Adam Lanza, James Holmes or Jared Loughner from getting their grubby paws on weapons. Holmes and Loughner were both mental cases that no one wanted to report to the national background check folks, and Lanza killed his mother and stole her guns. There were no loopholes that those three slipped through, other than the fact that the Tuscon police knew Loughner was a mental case and Holmes’s head doctor was worried that he’d slip his gears sometime. There were no private sales involved in their acquisition of firearms.

So, how will Bite Me’s vaunted background checks make us safer. Were there any journalists in the room with the cojones to ask him? Apparently not. Maybe the Obama Administration can negotiate with criminals like they plan with the Taliban to get the criminals to promise to get background checks before they buy a gun out of some guy’s trunk in a dark parking lot.

So, despite the failure of the latest gun-grabbing attempt in Congress, the White House is redoubling efforts to get their grubby paws on your guns. Joe Bite Me will launch the latest campaign today in remarks at the White House. Why? Well, the Washington Post writes a fawning piece about Bite Me today and tells us that he “really cares” about the issue. Horse shit! if Bite cared about gun control, why is he telling women to blast their shot guns from their balconies periodically to scare off prospective intruders? That’s about the most irresponsible thing I’ve heard in decades.

Biden just wants to get rid of what he calls assault weapons – because just the sight of them scares the living shit out of people who don’t understand them or their purpose. That’s why you can find a number of pictures of liberal politicians holding up scary black rifles for the cameras – because the image of the weapon scares the regressives. From the Washington Times today;

Mr. Biden is expected to make a push for background check legislation in Tuesday’s address as well. The measure co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat, and Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania, that failed in April would have expanded background checks to firearms sales online and at gun shows. Right now, only federally licensed dealers are required to perform the checks.

Yeah, well, federally-licensed gun dealers are required to perform background checks when the weapons are bought online or at gun shows, too. If the Democrats really wanted to just close the “loopholes”, which is what they claim that they want to do, you know the “loopholes” that 90% of the American people want to close, they’d strike out the phrases that require the people who will perform the background checks for private sales to maintain records in perpetuity of those sales. That’s what the NRA and everyone else opposes – a de facto federal gun registration process.

Machin, Toomey, Biden, Schumer and the rest of them know that removing that one little provision would sail the legislation through Congress with little opposition, but they just won’t remove that part of it. Why? Because that’s the part they want most – more than just background checks, they want to know where to go to get the guns when the time comes.

Oh, yeah, and the Washington Post says that “The White House needs to show it is doing something” because “The Democratic base is watching”. So it’s all about appearing like they care for purely political reasons, not out of any sense of duty to the majority of Americans who abide by the laws and whose rights are guaranteed by the Constitution, but rather a out of a sense of duty to their political pocketbooks.

This link was on my Facebook thingie written by Heidi Yewman, one of those anti-gun nuts who think they can make a point by acting like their perception of people they don’t understand. Heidi, like I said, doesn’t like people owning guns, so she goes out and buys a gun and all of the attendant paperwork that goes along with that and then carries the gun in public. She’s such a ditz that she pulls over a cop to learn how to operate her gun, because she says she is going to “only do what is minimally required for permits, licensing, purchasing and carrying, and finally be prepared to use it for protecting myself at home or in public”. Now, I’m not sure where she lives, but she bought the gun with no training and strapped it on with no training. Like I said, she didn’t bother to ask the dealer how to use the gun she’s carrying, so she stopped a cop and asked him because she freaked out after she got home and took it out of the box – a Glock 9mm.

So the article opens with her sitting in Starbucks with her gun, shaking nervously near children, I guess because the gun might just jump out of the holster and start putting kids down on it’s own.

Her feeling is that everyone is just like her – no training on how to handle firearms and monstrously stupid. Responsible gun owners know or learn how to handle their firearm before they buy it, certainly before they carry it in public. No one tell Heidi this, because she won’t listen, but the NRA offers firearms safety classes.

Actually, I’ve read the article a couple of times and the only thing that I can figure Heidi wants to do is accidentally shoot someone because she’s doing her best in that regard. The thing is, there are millions of gun owners who carry a weapon in public who don’t shoot people everyday because they didn’t do “what is minimally required” to own the gun.

Heidi is an irresponsible twit who I hope doesn’t shoot herself, but that’s what she deserves.

The Washington Times reports that, for some strange reason, prosecutors have prosecuted criminals in violation of gun laws at a higher rate since Sandy Hook than they did before the tragedy;

In November, the month before the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School claimed the lives of 20 schoolchildren and six adults, the federal government prosecuted 482 weapons cases, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University — the lowest single-month total since November 2009 and the second-lowest monthly total since President Obama took office in January 2009.

The number of prosecutions increased to slightly more than 500 in December, January and February and then shot to 673 in March and 697 in April, as Congress debated — and ultimately rejected — Mr. Obama’s call for stricter gun control laws.

“As far as I can see, there’s been no increase in the size of the agency or its legal authority,” David Burnham, co-director of TRAC, said of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “What triggered this, I don’t know. This really looks like perhaps outside criticism had an effect.”

Well, it’s like we’ve been saying for decades, there are enough gun laws in this country if the government would just use them for a change instead of piling more restrictions on top of law-abiding gun owners and gun dealers. But see, they don’t figure that’s enough, the New York Times reports today that the Obama Administration is planning another assault on gun rights;

“We’ve only just finished round one in our fight to get Congress to pass common-sense measures to save lives, and we will continue to join 90 percent of Americans in calling on them to close loopholes in the background check system,” Denis McDonough, Mr. Obama’s White House chief of staff, said Wednesday in an e-mail. “But in the meantime, we are doing everything in our power without them — including strengthening the existing background check system.”

Good, strengthen the current background checks, that’s fine – it’s what you should have been doing all along. But where are these “loopholes” you want closed? In the last three years, I’ve bought twelve guns of varying types and went through background checks at every purchase, even the guns I’ve bought at gun shows. The “loopholes” are private sales which is nearly impossible to check – the ones they want to stop are between criminals, not legitimate owners, and no matter what restrictions they put on folks who will follow the law, it won’t effect the criminals one whit. 90% of Americans don’t want to prevent me from buying a gun. Ask them.

Dan sends us a link to the West Virginia Gazette which published an opinion piece by Christopher Swindell, a journalism professor at Marshall University who lives in Charleston, West Virginia who must feel somewhat out of place. He thinks that NRA members should be executed. No, really, that’s what he says;

Here it is. The NRA advocates armed rebellion against the duly elected government of the United States of America. That’s treason, and it’s worthy of the firing squad. The B.S. needs a serious gut check. We are not a tin pot banana republic where machine gun toting rebel groups storm the palace and depose the dictator.

We put the president in the White House. To support the new NRA president’s agenda of arming the populace for confrontation with the government is bloody treason.

Actually, Christopher Swindell, supporting the President in most of the legislation that he’s presented is treasonous. How many times have liberals, especially in the last six months, recommended that we change certain aspects of the Constitution and it’s attending amendments in order to accommodate this president’s wishes? I’d call that treason.

Normally, I am a peaceable man, but in this case, I am willing to answer the call to defend the country. From them.

To turn the song lyric they so love to quote back on them, “We’ll put a boot in your —, it’s the American way.”

Except it won’t be a boot. It’ll be an M1A Abrams tank, supported by an F22 Raptor squadron with Hellfire missiles. Try treason on for size. See how that suits. And their assault arsenal and RPGs won’t do them any good.

So, to return to reality, all of us. Let’s make common sense gun safety a deciding issue for 2014 and beyond.

Wait, wait, wait, you little shit. None of us have RPGs, where you got that idea is beyond me, unless you’re one of the three people left in the country who think that the LAPD made the world safer by taking those empty fiberglass tubes off the streets at their gun buy back.

And so by “common sense gun safety” you mean kill all of the NRA members with guns, tanks and bombs? Seriously? Yeah, that’s peaceable, you ignorant fucknut. If that’s the world you want to live in, you should leave West Virginia post haste and move under the protective umbrella of Nanny Bloomberg and the legacy Governor of New York. I’m sure the tanks & bombs thing will be real popular with your new neighbors and probably already in the planning stages there.
