Bloomberg On Gun Control: Police Should Strike Until Government Acts On Gun Violence (VIDEO).

This is an interview of Charlton Heston and he recalls the L.A. Riots:

He recalled the Los Angeles riots in 1992, which helped many Hollywood folks change their views on gun ownership. As smoke from burning buildings smudged the skyline and the TV news showed vivid images of laughing loot­ers smashing windows and carting off boom boxes and booze, Heston got a few phone calls from firmly anti-gun friends. One conversation went this way:

“Umm, Chuck, you have quite a few … ah, guns, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Shotguns and … like that?”

“Indeed.”

“Could you lend me one for a day or so? I tried to buy one, but they have this waiting period … “

“Yeah, I know; I remember you voted for that. Do you know how to use a shotgun?”

“No, I thought maybe you could teach me. This is getting a little scary.”

“I noticed. I could teach you, but not in an hour. You might shoot yourself instead of the bad guys. The Marines are coming up from Pendleton; that’ll end it. When it does, go buy yourself a good shotgun and take some lessons. It doesn’t get so scary then.”

Heston said his friend writer-director John Milius had more calls. His answer was more forthright: “Sorry. They’re all being used.”

Bloomberg is just stupidly grandstanding. It still amazes me that New Yorkers re-elected this moron twice.

It seems Virgin Galactic has been running flights to Planet Stupid all week.

Yup!

“a duty they won’t shirk simply to serve some politician’s agenda.”

Beside the obvious repetition the Gun Free Zones are the perfect killing grounds fro any nutjob out there, I will reserve my comments till more REAL information comes out. Right now we only have the bombastic manure coming out of the Media that is muddying the waters way too much.

There is a meme going around some gun blogs that this episode was the Kobiyashi Maru for CCW  but I think the SS Botany Bay is a much closer representation. Even with the “information” at hand, I will have to disagree but I’ll expand when the evidence is presented.

And as usual we must remember that the Media is in the News Business, not in the Truth Business.

Lois Frankel is the Democratic candidate in 2012 for U.S. Representative from Florida’s 22nd Congressional District. Apparently in her own little My Little Pony dictionary, the word “Representative” means “Petty Dictator Elected by the Public.”

Amazing the chutzpah of Ms. Frankel but it represents what has been happening with Congress for a long while now. They are not there to represent their constituents but to govern over then. And then they were so surprised when the Tea Party handed their asses over in the 2010 election.

“Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away?”

We already heard from the usual suspects mentioning that “They never saw that coming” or that “He was always polite” and all the other verbal garbage.
Yet, the only person to say “now that guy is cuckoo” had to be one of them “ignoramus redneck” gun owner that the Elite like to poopoo on.

‘Nuff said.

The tinfoil is strong with this one.
