Inside the Mind Of a Gun Grabber: Bonus Edition.

I wish I could say that I went with a clearly defined strategy for this argument and it was finely executed. It was not like that at all. I give her all the props to her: She called attention to the low-hanging fruit, put neon around and handed me the bat.

I did go in with a plan. Nothing legally complicated because people who run on slogans and memes have serious problems comprehend basic Civil Rights and moderately advanced legal terminology. I wanted to explain that when Background Checks provide a false positive and deny the sale to a law-abiding citizen, it is clearly unconstitutional and should not stand for one second. Imagine if you went to vote and you were subject to a BG check before doing so but got falsely denied. Hell, these people are shitting bricks a the idea of simply proving you are an American Citizen in order to register to vote!

So, when I saw her comment about registration, I could not help but smile.

All the “We really, really don’t want to take your guns away” and “We just want to make sure guns do not end with the hands of wrong people” excuses go out the window: For the love of God, there are almost 13 million  background-checked, fingerprinted and photographed US Gov Certified frigging card-carrying Good Guys and she recoils at the idea that we should be exempted of any more background checks.

And it is a lovely thing when the are caught in a web of their own making. And I pray they remains that stupid because they become evidence we need to say “See? We weren’t bullshitting you. That is the way they think.” They are a great help to our cause.

So Andrea, this is for you:

PS: I am gonna leave Andrea alone for a while. I don’t want to be accused of being abusive by imposing by White Hispanic Privilege or some crud like that.

But don’t grab a weapon, not even pepper spray! “They all sound like a good idea, but again, we don’t know how the burglar will react to seeing an armed person.” No, but we can probably predict how he will react to the impact of 1.25 ounces of 00 buck

And that wins the interwebs for today.

Gun Free Zone versus Gun Carry Zone.

Since Hollywood is on a bent to remake movies (and most of the time, screwing them) I thought I’d do the same with an old post from 2011. The original post was Why Concealed Carry helps those who do not carry, but as The Packetman smartly suggested in the comments, it also applies to Gun Free Zones.

Imagine two identically looking bowls with 100 M&Ms each:

GUN FREE ZONE

Bowl One has 100 fresh M&Ms reap for picking by anybody.

GUN CARRY ZONE

Bowl 2 has 95 fresh and delicious M&Ms and 5 M&Ms laced with a very fast acting poison but indistinguishable from the rest.

Question: Which bowl will be avoided like the plague by nutjobs and other human predators, trying to score a high body count?

 

Body of Woman Missing Since 1990 Found in Fort Myers Pond

The body of a woman who has been missing for 25 years has been found inside her red sports car at the bottom of a southwest Florida pond.

No foul play suspected. Believe it or not, this is not uncommon down here. We are filled with canals for flood control plus ponds and lakes, some natural, lots man-made that bring charm to our neighborhoods.

sofla lakes

What you see blue in the map is a body of water and pretty much the big one only and no canals. West of me, there is a lake big enough that supported a Cessna 172 with pontoons and I never figured out how the FAA allowed it since every inch of the lake’s coast had a house and the area is quite suburban.

There was this case where a guy left a hurricane party intoxicated and was never seen after that. yes, he was drunk and left in the middle of a Cat 1 Hurricane which is not the smartest thing to do. He was found in a canal 2 years later a mile from where the party was held and the kicker is that the canal was parallel to a busy road. Nobody ever saw a thing, including me who used to drive by the location at least twice a week.

I have a hole puncher and a knife secured in my center console, same with the wife. Most if the canals are not really deep, but you are sitting trapped in a car under 4 feet of water and can’t get out, you could be 8 feet tall and will be dead just the same.

And that is your charming Friday post.

Another Gun Free Zone Shooting & Cops nearby.

The Grand
Clearly stated in the Theater chain’s website: Gun Free Zone.

Two police officers were very close to the theater and were able to respond to the chaotic scene in less than a minute, Craft said. The officers entered the theater as a stream of theatergoers fled. As the officers entered, they heard a single gunshot, which was the suspect shooting himself. He may have seen the police coming, Craft said.

Details are still few.  Was it a celebratory copycat of the Aurora shooting? Probably we will never know.

Stay Safe & Carry Everywhere.

 

Inside the Mind of Gun Grabber: The Minions!

Not the cute yellow ones from the movies. These are selected Gamma males that circle around a #GunSense conversation shouting slogans and assorted idiocies.

They are fun to read and serve a good purpose: to check what mindless meme is fashionable at any given moment.

If you were looking for common sense and a smidgen of sanity, you will not find it here. Some more.

They sort of explain why the Honey Boboo girl, the Kardasians and assorted less-than-stellar figurines are the rage on TV.

Have a great weekend everybody. Go to the range for some ballistic therapy and the fact that the people above will be having fits knowing you are shooting boolits and exercising your Second Amendment Rights.
