Just 156 tired souls answered Bloomberg’s call to counter-protest the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis held just miles from Moms Demand founder Shannon Watts’s home.

I know how sad of a protest it was, because I was there. I’ve attended wakes with more enthusiasm.

We are in a position that we have not been since probably before 1934 and perhaps even better. Astroturf cannot beat Grassroots in a world where  Gun Control no longer controls the flow of information.  We have more and more people coming into the gun culture and more people not interested in the gun culture but no longer afraid of it. The Narrative is hard to keep propped up when the alleged average Gun Nut is not the crazy Redneck hidden in the mountains planning to blow up a Federal building but Joe and Jane Nextdoor who you know for many years, watch games, go shopping with and send the kids to the same schools.

Yes, they are dying, but as Michael Bane said some weeks ago, that makes them dangerous animals capable of doing immense damage. We cannot turn our collective backs and we have to keep the pressure until they become dust like a bad guy from an Indiana Jones movie.

To this day, I still cannot figure why they could not simply follow the advice we gave them so many years ago: “Just leave us alone.”

I had been suddenly flooded with overdue stuff that I scheduled in an almost big lump.

In fact, I just got back from a trip to the local office of the Social Security Administration, amazingly unharmed other than my nasal passages as it seems every brand of perfume and cologne was present and in full olfactory demonstration. I have to cigarette butts shoved in my nostrils to see if the nausea goes away.

So.. and while I get some lunch and get my brain somewhat functional,  leave you with this:
No idea what it is besides a bike

But since the Interwebs likes guns and shootings, a couple of pics of me shooting more than a decade ago as I started IDPA. Dashing fella!

This is an exchange that happened in Twitter. I saw this faked ad picture posted and I let the people know. I was amazed at the reply from the original individual:

I intervened:

I applied a wee bit of logic, not much as you don’t want to scare idiots..and it went downhill from there:She admits or at least acknowledges that the photo is questionable but does not care because of the message and she is in favor of being a scummy liar just like the opposition. But she has reasons:
Ladies and gents, I do not care how much you dislike the opposition or how much of a defender of the Second Amendment you think you are: We Do Not Need To Lie To Win.

We don’t need to make fake ads or come up with bullshit stats or wave a (fake) bloody shirt as we have truth on our side. If you cannot take the time to properly do research on our enemies and use their words and actions against them, just shut the hell up, watch Divorce Court, much on your Smuckers’ Goober-covered rice cakes and leave the rest of us do the work.

Seriously, Don’t help.

UPDATE: Mina is asking for proof instead of her providing the original screen cap. I found 2 more fake ads using the same rape theme and they are related to a fake/parody account:

But we have this words of warning from a President:

Gun Free Zone Venezuela:

The title reads: 185 bodies taken to the morgue in eleven days.

And under it reads: Only on this past weekend there were 59 violent deaths (murders) in Caracas.

Down there the weekend is tallied as starting on 6 pm Friday night and ends on 8 am Monday morning so it was almost one body dropping per hour. And this is in a country with strict gun and knife control (Yes, they went British on that) and no civilian sales of firearms for the past 2 years.

What a nightmare.

OK, got my attention. Soon after moving here, I read this: “Anytime you step into the water, within or surrounding the state of Florida, you are entering ‘the food chain’; and you are NOT at the top.”

If it ain’t the gators, it is something else.

Hat tip to Lance B.

Fresh off the Facebook page of the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence:
And this is the insert:

Ever since Michael Belleiles, it has been clear that we cannot separate Higher Education historians from the rest of the College professorial community in their intent of re-writing history for political purposes.  Lying as the vernacular goes.

But what made me laugh is that I am on the last pages of Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring and there s a passage where it mentions that Congress, strapped for cash and in need of having to supply the Continental army with weapons, decided that it would be a good idea to confiscate the guns of the Tories (Pro England inhabitants) living within the Rebel areas and in that way they could kill the bird of supply and at the same time make sure they had antagonistic Loyalists in a relatively docile behavior.  An Army officer was dispatched to start the confiscation of the locals (much to his distaste) and returned shortly with the report that the Tories not only refused to turn in their weapons but that they swore that if they came back again, they would be shot through the head. Congress forego the stupid idea.

I swear that any day now, we are gonna read about a professor swearing up and down about his “research” that showed that only Police and the Military had guns when the Constitution was ratified and that there was a 15 day waiting period with a Background Check and Fingerprints before you could have been issued lead for bullet casting.
