Deception never pays and it is a sin.

SALT LAKE CITY — A collection of gun control supporters took a list of 20,000 signatures that were gathered online, most from outside of Utah, to Governor Gary Herbert’s office Friday.

Their goal is to get the governor to support the right of public universities and colleges to keep guns out of meetings and assemblies.

The inspiration for the petition came from Anita Sarkeesian, the feminist critic of video games who canceled a speech at Utah State University after receiving death threats and asking the school to prevent guns from being present in the meeting space, which school officials said they could not do because of the state’s laws regarding firearms.

The written article does not tell you how many of the signatures came from Utahns unless you see the whole video and get to 2:22. There you will get to find out that about 400 signatures came from the Beehive State. That would come to (if my trusty calculator is right) just two percent of the John Hancocks collected.

In the article and the video we are introduced to Dee Rowland and Chelsi Archibald who were behind this signature gathering. Both are active on liberal causes and Gun Control but after a dose of Google-Fu I found out that they do that under the banner of their religious faith: Ms. Rowland as a catholic and Ms. Archibald as Mormon.

 

I find a bit disturbing that people who are openly using the banner of their respective churches apparently have no problem making a production of a petition with barely a 2% support among their neighbors and fellow Utahns. Neither faith supports a sleigh-of-hand for the “greater good” or trying to acquire fame by presenting such a misleading petition. They had to know that they only gathered 400 signatures that matter so, why go along with it? Pride? Were they hoping to deceive people with the big number with the expectation that the 400 number be overlooked or ignored?

This kind of tactics always backfires. Their loss, our win.

Warning: Floridians now posed to be killed by boolits more than evah!

The use of silencers for hunting has been approved.:

At their meeting in Key Largo, Florida, today, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted to remove the ban on using silencers/suppressors on pistols and rifles for hunting deer, gray squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys, quail and crows.

Using silencers/suppressors on pistols, rifles and shotguns for all other legal hunting was already allowed.

Following the suppressor vote, the Commission also voted to authorize an Executive Order to lift the ban immediately and allow hunting with suppressors to begin at once.

Following that vote, Executive Order # EO 14-32 was signed. Using suppressor-equipped rifles, pistols and shotguns is now legal for all hunting in Florida.

So now Florida joins the other states where hunting with silencers is allowed…and nothing bad has happened.

Future Trend.

We might be seeing the bottoming out of the crime descent. Perhaps one more year, then maybe a leveling off one or two more years…and then it will pick up steeply. And it will be blamed on us again instead of the creators of the deed.

If you haven’t bought your long guns, do so. Maybe a couple of extra sidearms on the open market. Lots of extra magazines. But above all, buy ammo like there is no tomorrow. And learn to reload too & stock up on reloading supplies.

 

Criminal owes Old Man Winter a big one.

Officers responded to the 2000 block of Woodlawn Avenue for a report of an attempted robbery. The victim said the suspect pushed him into a door. The victim said as he turned to face the suspect, the victim began pulling his gun out of his jacket in self-defense and then slipped on ice and the victim accidentally discharged the pistol into the ground. The suspect ran away. Officers tired to locate the bullet but could not find it.

And the mandatory reminder to keep the finger off the trigger till you have your target.

Good ending nevertheless.

Let me see if I get this straight….

Terrorists attack a synagogue in Israel and the government decides it is a good idea to ease gun control and allow citizens to defend themselves.

Putin’s Russia is so racked in crime that it now not only allows its citizens to carry guns, but accepts self-defense as a legitimate motive to be armed.

In the meantime, we still have mentally ill killers roaming around into the government-mandated hunting preserves for Human Predators called Gun Free Zones and shooting at innocents only to have “smart people” demanding more of the same useless solutions

How the f*** did we end up with the idiots on this side of the Atlantic?
