Sign that is found at the Chappell Hill Bank in Texas.
According to their website their motto is “Modern Banking with Old Fashioned Courtesy.” Check the pics of the inside of the bank. Five gives you ten the cashier has a coach gun under the counter.
I wouldn’t mind having a branch here in Miami.
According to Silicon Valley’s Mercury News, a march of peace loving, open minded, love for everybody support for Illegal Aliens turned violent and ended up in a riot. This line caught my attention:
Many in the group were carrying makeshift torches as they marched, breaking storefront windows and writing “anarchist graffiti” on buildings,
Somebody seems to be watching way too many late night movies at the local revolutionary coffee house in Santa Clara. But I doubt something like that is gonna happen with the locals here in South Florida. First Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Hatians don’t give a damn squat about Mexican (<gasp!> Brown brothers not united? No.</gasp>) and second, we have this thing called law and more precisely Title XLVI, Chapter 776,
Justifiable Use Of Force.
776.08 Forcible felony.–”Forcible felony” means treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.
Like I said, I don’t imaging seeing stupid kids in dressed all in black roaming the streets of Miami with torches… at least not vertically for long. Either the heat stroke would drop them or store owners would get some trigger practice between sips of cuban coffee and bites of rotis. (pass the Tabasco, would ya?)
We are not talking about a simple (or complicated) political or social misunderstanding here. It is not a difference of opinion on a dark point of the law. The battle for the Second Amendment is about some things tangible and some that are not. It is the respect of freedom and the respect for life. Brady and its bunch were not disagreeing about possibly raising taxes to pay for a new highway project or if a contract is enforceable or not. They were directly subverting my right to defend myself. They were making an overt attempt against my life and the life of my loved ones. There is no difference that they used the law or a gun, the end result was to disarm me and leave me ready to be attacked by the wolves and that I do not take kindly.
McDonald is not just a “case” or an argument or a amicus curiae. Mr. McDonald is a human being which was denied the tools for defensing himself in a violent neighborhood. He is fearful and living a cloistered life because some politicos decided that he had no right to own a handgun. These politicos do not live in the same neighborhood as Mr McDonald and if they leave their mansions, they do so with privileges and bodyguards not available to the rest of the citizens in the community they reign. These politicos are First Among Equals, the Pigs More Equal than Others. A Ruling Class and Royalty in our country exacting power on the rest of us.
Now stop for a second and think of the innocents murdered in Chicago through the years. Think of those that might had an opportunity if they were allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights but could not because a local government said they are not worthy. Doesn’t that churn your guts? Are you so intellectually removed from the everyday mud it does not affect you? It does to me and it does to a lot of people.
So when you say “that it’s not too much to ask to be civil to our opponents in this debate” I and many others cringe. It would be like sitting down with Lavrentiy Beria and debate about how naughty he was doing all those things inside Lefortovo prison. Or akin to sharing a hot chocolate and a spirited discussion with Che Guevara about his “pedagogy of the paredon ” (wall where you place those about to be executed by firing squad) to teach the lessons of the Cuban Revolution. Make no mistake: Brady and Hamm did not pull a trigger or stabbed anyone, but they did and still cooperate with the killing of many.
You have friends and family that are anti-gun? So do I and so do many in our cause. Some were anti-gun but changed their views. Some refuse to own a gun, but do not make any attempts to curtail our rights. The very few that were active against my rights are no longer part of my world and know damn well what I think of them.
We never wanted to impose anything. We simply demanded our rights and never tried to exact our views on anybody. We wanted the choice to defend ourselves, a choice to live and it was denied. Brady and the like did their best to stop those rights, caused death and they are responsible for it. After much fighting, we are turning that idiocy little by little and I really don’t feel like being civil/appeasing/compromising to enablers of murder.
I am glad that Mr. McDonald’s case will be resolved in the Supreme Court and in our favor. He needs a real chance and not a fake guarantee of safety where none exists.
I would encourage you to go to the Starbucks on Pike Place at 10:30am where the loons of the Brady Bunch are planning on doina “lie in” (both in position and verisimilitude) protesting Starbuck’s decision to respect customers who carry guns legally.
Now, don’t engage in a confrontation, just go inside, order some coffee and sit down to read your favorite gun magazine. Make sure the magazine is visible to the loons, smile and excercise both your First and Second amendment rights. If addressed by the angry hippies, smile and wave. Take pictures!

H/T to Traction Control
Yep, kid you not. The new address is 1730 Rhode Island Ave. NW, Suite 1014, Washington D.C. 20036 which also happens to be the address of the Violence Policy Center or as we call it in the Gun Culture The Brady Bunch. Sara Brady and her minions must be so desperate that they actually came out with a document stating that “Successful efforts to reduce America’s black homicide toll must put a focus on reducing access to firearms.”
The document in question, Black Homicide Victimization in the United States is basically a regurgitation of FBI statistics from the Unified Crime Report with a racist twist added. That The Brady Bunch actually came out and published such a document speaks volumes of their desperation, specially since the Heller decision and the total lack of support from the White House on Gun Control Issues. Be advised, the White House is not against instituting bans on private gun ownership, but they figured that politically it would be a third rail, specially since not even 24 hours after President Obama got inaugurated the WH web page stated that banning Evil Black Rifles was top priority and half the USA went out and bought one.
So, who else agrees with the VPC report? Sarah Brady must be proud to know that distinguished members of our society such as Stormfront – White NationalistCommunity (read KKK On Line) agrees with VPC 100% . In its forum you will find threads like No Guns for Negroes reflecting pretty much the same sentiments although without the Washington Think Tank verbosity. Same goes for the not quite National Geographic website Chimpout which not only decries the fact that a nigger has an assault rifle, but condemn the Tea Party Movement… just like any good Liberal Progressive from MSNBC would.
Perhaps VPC and company should read Clayton Cramer’s The Racist Roots of Gun Control before doing any more “papers.” Maybe again they do not care, maybe they are racists after all.
And so far, none of the good old African American activist have been heard. No NAACP, no Jesse Jackson, no Al Sharpton, no Nation of Islam, nobody. Maybe they are behaving like the good plantation drivers that they are.
Our club just celebrated our annual Picnic Match which tends to be a working affair for the busy bees and fun more most everybody else. The highlight is the side Kid’s match where the parents are encouraged to bring the little ones to shoot a variety of .22 caliber weapons against targets that provide immediate feedback like spinners and such. It is grueling work for whomever gets stuck with running it, but it is satisfactory at the same tome to see youngins just rip round after round of ammunition and beat the lights out of those spinners.
My personal highlight was to see the face of absolute joy of a girl who had never fired a gun before, connecting with her target for the first time. The combination of surprise, joy and pride was just perfect. In fact the girls were scary in their their dedication and accomplishment. They took the “task” seriously spinning targets with an almost boring regularity but they never got bored themselves, they just had that fierce determination to bet the heck out of brothers, cousins, friends and acquaintances.
The club is not a “serious” club by any means. But the Picnic Match gives it a more relaxed tone once a year. With range space a premium in South Florida, to be able to just take it easy, shoot a couple of IDPA stages, have lunch, take a raffle, BS a while and then get back to shooting.
A Rainbow coalition (whites, blacks, hispanic, orientals and some undetermined breeds were present) of armed citizens enjoyed a day of shooting with family and friends. No crimes were committed, no fistfights, no stabbings, no rapes, no crimes even though 75% of those present had a gun affixed to their waist. Intelligentsia says this was not supposed to happen, that a concentration of guns like this mixed with kids is a recipe for disaster, that bodies must fall bleeding profusely by bullet holes specially since there was an <gasp> “assault rifle” in the mix.
I am guessing Intelligentsia is wrong and has been wrong for a long long time.
