WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association has rallied gun owners — and raised tens of millions of dollars — campaigning against the threat of a national database of firearms or their owners.

But in fact, the sort of vast, secret database the NRA often warns of already exists, despite having been assembled largely without the knowledge or consent of gun owners. It is housed in the Virginia offices of the NRA itself. The country’s largest privately held database of current, former, and prospective gun owners is one of the powerful lobby’s secret weapons, expanding its influence well beyond its estimated 3 million members and bolstering its political supremacy.

And what does the NRA call this database? Membership List…and Wine Shopping List, and NRA Instructors List……you get the idea.

Is this the best the Anti-NRA faction can come up with? I had this post written in my mind before I was fully awake and had my first cup of coffee!

And yes, the author is off by 2 million members which is a darn good indicator how disconnected he is from what is going on around him. Dear God: Keep him and the rest at that level of idiocy, Amen.

Skills.. you either have them or crash.

Brazil has a bad crime problem and people are sick of it. How sick? Hit play.

That combo of two people in a cheap Japanese motorcycle is very common in some countries south of the border where regular vehicles are expensive. While the great majority are “regular” folk, it is also the preferred way of committing violent crimes because it allows for a very fast getaway and very hard to chase.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) — Deputies are searching for a pair of armed robbers who used a Bible to get into a home where they held a grandfather and his two grandchildren hostage for almost an hour.

The incident happened around 2 p.m. Wednesday at a home in the 4900 block of Peters Road.

The victim, who did not want to be identified, said his young grandson opened his door to the men because they were well dressed and one was carrying a Bible.

OK, this is scummy, CSGV-type scummy. The poor Jehovah Witnesses have enough troubles already without people going tactical on their faces because a couple of morons decided to play Robbers of God.

And Grandpa, I am guessing the lessons you failed to impart to your grandson are now firmly implanted in his braincells via really bad experience.

Fox News is using an ad opposing Stand Your Ground self-defense laws that reenacted the fatal 2012 shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin to revive the false claim that Florida’s Stand Your Ground statute played no role in the acquittal of Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman.

If you saw the trial in its entirety or even in any channel where they were actually reporting it and not trying to create more controversy, you may have noticed that the Defense Lawyers never brought SYG because it simply did not apply. All through the trial, evidence, witnesses, etc nobody mentions SYG. The only time we hear the term “Stand Your Ground is at the end of the trial when the judge gives the Jury instructions:

If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

At the end, if it is not Stand Your ground, it will be Castle Doctrine or basic self-defense or defense of others. There will always be something that is “immoral” , “racist” , “Redneck: , etc about the basic right to stay alive without the need of Governmental permission.

Apparently and under orders from SWMBO, we have to be out of state for a suddenly announced family thing that weekend. Being the Man of The House, the Boss of My Domain and Chief Warrior of the teepee I said…yes dear.

I will try to re-schedule and maybe make it a big bigger and better. Long guns might be involved.

I will let you know.

The video is highly deceptive, and nothing more than a continuation of the propaganda campaign about the case.

Had they felt any affinity for the truth, they might have mentioned Martin’s emerging from the darkness to fell Zimmerman with a blow the neighborhood watch volunteer never saw coming, a blow that hit with such force that it broke Zimmerman’s nose, and which he described to police that same night as feeling as if he had been hit by a brick.

Because evidence is for idiots and those who believe in the fairy tales of Freedom and Justice.
