It is spreading… We Are Freedom’s Virus.

This is amazing for Latin America. That a major government official, the minister of Defense no less would come out and assert armed population is like Sarah Brady coming back from the death, getting a concealed weapons permit and go on a shopping binge at her local Gun Store.

Minister Fernandez continued:

“Look what happened the other day at the Bataclan, two or three cowards were killing teenagers and young adults as if they were doves.” The same happened in Norway, detailed and argued that if the young people had been armed history might have been different. “They would not have gone, nor would even thought about it,” he said.

He said people should arm themselves to defend themselves against the government “… against despotism and tyranny”.

First Panama, now Uruguay… There is hope for the world.

Will somebody please check the weather in Hell?

Trayvon Martin Four Years Later according to Willful Liars and Willful Ignorants.

Four years ago today, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was walking home from buying candy at a convenience store when he was shot to death by an armed vigilante. His killer was exonerated by Florida’s Stand-Your-Ground law, which promotes a “shoot first, ask questions later” mentality.

There is no excuse. This is not “my opinion” or “my interpretation but a bald-faced lie.

Moms Demand Trayvon Martin 4 years

I know I should not be surprised, but the level of disconnect with reality is simply amazing. If anything, it shows how powerful a narrative can be and once set inside feeble minds is like trying to get the white out of rice.
Update: Jeff H. reminded me of Andrew Branca’s article from a year ago: Zimmerman Trial Redux: Busting the Myths Again.

You’d need a strong arm to toss it.

VPC Barret 50

So, the Barret is legal in 49 other states, yet we have not seen one commercial (or other) aircraft downed by the rifle or the rounds it shoots. You figure after 34 years since its introduction, the Antis would have stoop playing the same old song. As far as I know, the only real State-Side threat that these rifles bring are to the lower back and the wallet.

Ouch!

Texas size pile of bull

According to the Houston Chronicle, professors at the University of Houston “may want to avoid sensitive subjects or drop certain topics from their curriculum altogether” because students will be allowed to carry guns on campus after August 1st.  A slide shown at a UH campus carry debate gave professors and instructors advice on how to change their curricula to accommodate campus carry.  The argument against campus carry being “allowing guns into the classroom will limit academic freedoms and inhibit discussion of sometimes touchy subjects.”

 

Texas campus carry

 

The implication being levied, since these people are too cowardly just to come out and say it, is that students with concealed carry permits will feel triggered or challenged in classroom discussions and react by shooting the instructors or fellow students.  This is demeaning.  This is insulting.  This is factually inaccurate.   This is the academic variant of “CCW will turn every fender-bender into the shootout at the OK Corral.”  This is, and I’m being technical here, bullshit.

This is also the most insane mix of projection and a lack of self-awareness.  2015 was the year of student protests.  The protests, beginning at the University of Missouri, have spread to a dozen or more campuses across the country.  These protests have been ugly.  Students screaming bloody murder and cursing professors over an email about Halloween Costumes.  Students screaming at and threatening other students for studying during a protest.  Professors siding with the protesters assaulting students who don’t.  Students on the brink of rioting because a conservative speaker came to campus.  Not to mention a whole host of other petulant and ridiculous reasons.  Many, if not all, of these students adhere to the political philosophy of Social Justice, which is an ideology that really doesn’t jive with gun rights.

I think it is safe to say that little Ms. Special Snowflake here isn’t a fan of campus carry.  If the idea of someone holding an opinion different to her own on campus is a threat to her safety, I can’t imagine the way she would lose her mind (and maybe even bowel control) if she found out someone had a different opinion AND and gun in proximity to her.

 

Activist students protesting over the most tenuous perceived slight, going on hunger strikes, issuing demands to schools containing Stalinistic levels of arbitrary punishments and censorship, and forcing the resignation of Deans and School Presidents; no, none of that is a threat to academic discussion (if you read no other link, read this one).  But some 21 year old student, who has gone through a criminal background check (including fingerprinting), quietly sitting in class with a legally owned pistol in his waistband; that is going to end classroom intellectual pursuits.

Right…..

I’m going to go on the record here and say, as a Ph.D., and as someone who has taught college classes, including having had to fail a couple of students, the idea that campus concealed carry is death knell of academia in America.   Each and every UH faculty member who has bought into this idea is a close minded putz.

According to The Washington Post, just hourse before his death, Justice Antonin Scalia was at a secret meeting with the Illuminati Bilderbergers Jews Rosicrucians International Order of St. Hubertus.

I know, the International Order of St. Hubertus.  This is HUGE!!!  Actually… I don’t know the International Order of St. Hubertus.  A quick check on the internet says that they are “a worldwide organization of hunters who are also wildlife conservationists and are respectful of traditional hunting ethics and practices.

Members of the worldwide, male-only society wear dark-green robes emblazoned with a large cross and the motto ‘Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes,’ which means ‘Honoring God by honoring His creatures,’ according to the group’s website. Some hold titles, such as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The Order’s name is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.

They wear robes.  They have strange titles.  They speak in tongues.  They’re practically the Klan.

The group’s Grand Master is ‘His Imperial Highness Istvan von Habsburg-Lothringen, Archduke of Austria,’ according to the Order’s website. The next gathering for ‘Ordensbrothers’ and guests is an ‘investiture’ March 10 in Charleston, S.C.

Which Justice or Politician are they going to murder at their next event?

The society’s U.S. chapter launched in 1966 at the famous Bohemian Club in San Francisco, which is associated with the all-male Bohemian Grove — one of the most well-known secret societies in the country.

Holy hell, they’re worse than the Klan.  What is their end game?  Are they are going to take over the world?  Why?  Do they want to turn America into one giant game preserve?  What are they going to hunt?  People?  Us?

Oh.  My.  God.  The International Order of St. Hubertus is murdering it’s way through American’s elite so that they can play The Most Dangerous Game.  You know how hunters and gun owners are.  They are all psychotic killers.

Or….

Scalia died in his sleep after a meeting of just a ye olde Austrian Ducks Unlimited.
