That is Buzz Aldrin’s travel voucher for his trip to the moon in Apollo 11.

And the expenses.

OK, Maybe they are for real, but if so, it is even funnier.

When you run around the Lib/Prog playground, you are bound to offend somebody (or a bunch of them) eventually. The Atheists apparently did not find amusing the use of a non-entity as Gun Control tool.

You know the really sad part? That the Atheists behaved more like Christians than the so-called-Christian followers of CSGV did. But we agree that the do belong to a cult, so demonizing those who are not drinking their flavor of Kool Aid is not unexpected.

I’m a doctor and I play one on the Internet.  Not an MD mind you, but a PhD.  I have a dual concentration Metallurgy and Biomedical Engineering.  I bring this up not for braggadocio but for credentials.  So when I touch on matters of biomechanics, anatomy, and physiology, I am speaking with some level of authority.

In one of Miguel’s previous posts he quoted from some CSGV blowhard (emphasis mine):

“They are so terrified of having a simple physical confrontation (i.e., shoving match, fistfight)–and so bitter about what it might do to their pride and reputation if they come out on the losing side of the equation–that they would rather shoot and kill another human being than stand up and face that situation (which frequently is of their own making).” 

I’ll admit it, I am terrified of getting into a fistfight.  I’m not gonna take it outside.  I’m not gonna settle it like a man.  I will do everything I can to avoid a fight, and if that means I have to shoot you, guess what, I’m gonna shoot you (which believe me, I’d much rather not).

Here is why, in three words, I do not want to get into a fistfight: Traumatic Brain Injury.  The human brain is made up of relatively inelastic tissue, neurons and capillaries.  The brain sits in a sack of fluid called the dura matter.  This is inside the skull. When you take a punch to the head, your head goes from still to moving very quickly.  This linear and rotational acceleration causes the brain to smash around inside of your skull like dice in a shaker.

Every time your brain hits skull, it stretches.  When your brain stretches it tears, neurons rip away from each other and capillarities rupture.  Your brain starts to bleed.  Blood collects in the spongy tissue of the brain compressing it.  The brain starts to swell, squeezing it inside of the skull.  This compression and the torn blood vessels causes a loss of blood flow to regions of the brain.  Without blood, there is no oxygen, without oxygen, parts of the brain shut down.  Long enough without oxygen, the brain dies.  When the brain dies, so do you.

A solid punch can cause your brain to smack around inside your skull with the force of a high speed car accident.  And no, it doesn’t take a professional boxer to kill with with a punch.

I like my brain.  I spend long enough in school stuffing it full of facts.  I’m not going to let somebody try an kill it to prove my manliness.  Assuming that I survive, of course, it would me nice to still be able to come away remembering how to do math, or even my kid’s name.

So no.  I’m not going to fight you.  I really don’t want to.  It’s not so much that I’m a yellow bellied chicken.  I just don’t feel like having my neurons torn apart to prove to you that I’m a man.

BAYTOWN, TX (KTRK) — A would-be burglar messed with the wrong church and pastor Tuesday. Baytown police say the man kicked in the door of the Church of New Beginnings early and attempted to rob it.”We have church break-ins here in the city of Baytown,” said Pat Holmes. “But ours had never been broken into. Unfortunately today was the day.”Around 6:15, police say a man broke into the Church of New Beginnings on North Alexander. Surveillance video shows the man breaking through the door. Little did he know that Pastor Benny Holmes was sleeping inside, and that he was strapped.

Happy endings do not make the National News, noticed that?

Hat Tip to Joe Chetwood A.K.A. Mr. Slipstream.

Sean Sorrentino found this one:

One thing you come to realize as you explore the darker corners of the pro-gun movement is how cowardly and soulless many of these men are. They are so terrified of having a simple physical confrontation (i.e., shoving match, fistfight)–and so bitter about what it might do to their pride and reputation if they come out on the losing side of the equation–that they would rather shoot and kill another human being than stand up and face that situation (which frequently is of their own making). It’s a philosophy so devoid of dignity, honor, courage, and value for human life that every American of conscience must speak against it, loudly.

I had warned earlier in the year that Gun Control groups would start to ratchet up the rhetoric because they were feeling not only not advancing but actually losing ground in great swaths. Here is a great example of that.

Cowardly, soulless, terrified, bitter, devoid of dignity, honor, courage and value for human life.

Could they lay it any thicker? But dehumanizing the target of your attacks is a well-known and traditional method of political attack, so it should not surprise us: If you are perceived as less than human, the act of killing you becomes more palatable and easier to accept by your followers.

They are no longer humans like you but Jews. They don’t feel love because they are Tutsi. They don’t worry about the same every day things because they are  Armenians.  They don’t feel pain because they are Croats. And because of all of the above, they all were killed without remorse.

I think it is Donna who chides me for paying too much attention to CSGV, but I do believe they are ounce per ounce the most dangerous Gun Control organization out there. And I don’t mean it in the political-power sense but that they are deranged enough to pull some seriously idiotic stunt that would get people killed (like their latest call for SAWTting people legally carrying guns) and then try to validate their belief system. Yes, belief system because I am not kidding when I call them a Cult.

.And for the “They are so terrified of having a simple physical confrontation,” there is no such thing in real life. Only in the movies.

Thanks to Sean for letting me run with this latest stupidity from the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence.

I’m writing this from the DMV in northern Alabama. I just moved from Nebraska to Alabama for work. I’m in the process of getting my new driver’s license.

When I moved to Nebraska, my previous ID was not Real ID compliant. Nebraska’s license is a Real ID approved state. It took my birth certificate, Social Security card, two forms of picture ID (including my old license ), and two proofs of residency to get it. Blood, urine, and stool samples were optional.

I’m applying for a Real ID compliant Alabama STAR license. Guess what? I need all the same paperwork and BS all over again. The one Real ID approved ID is not enough for a new Real ID approved ID. What is the point of a Federal standard if it is not useful in going state to state?

He’ll is other bureaucrats.

So why am I griping on a gun blog? Because I forsee this same BS being pulled if (and when) national concealed carry gets passed. Oh yeah, your state may meet some arbitrary national standard but god help you if you go to another state. Your beloved national standard CCW permit will be worth bupkis, and perhaps a trip to jail.

The new ordinance gives Angelenos who own such magazines 60 days to remove, surrender or legally sell or transfer them after it goes into effect. Breaking the law would be a misdemeanor. Garcetti has 10 days to sign the measure, which would take effect a little more than a month later.

I expect to see long lines of Gang members turning their magazines to police stations everywhere in the greater LA area.

“Gun crime” is expected to drop to almost nothing by Halloween. You can count on that. The L.A. City Council promises you that or your magazines back.
