So an Open Carry Group has the amazing idea to counter demonstrate a Moms Demand Action gathering (all of 4 Moms which that tells you plenty) pose for pics, have a nasty looking side picture taken and suddenly everybody is amazed that the Opposition will totally lie and misrepresent the event.

I understand the urge to show them they are not in charge but, can we do it in a more intelligent fashion? I know you can also pee to mark your territory, but there are better ways that do not violate local health codes.

You want the same shocking value without ending up like props for their propaganda? Have everybody wear one of this:

I like caps better than t-shirts: higher from the ground means higher visibility and if you take a group picture, the lettering will be visible unless you hide your face behind somebody. This one in particular stand a long way and are easy to read.

And yes, you don’t have to lug the damned rifles everywhere, worry that they are secured, etc.

And yes, it is your gorramed right, but choose your weapons carefully. PR ricochets are stupid: Be smart.

I was doing some early Christmas shopping this weekend when I discovered the most disturbing holiday gift since the John Wayne Gacy clown make-up kit. Under the tree at one of my favorite stores was a Che Guevara plush doll.

What starts as a righteous indignation article ends in the old maxim that Men Never Grow Up. For the record, I would have done the same thing myself.

I guess they can add the poster to the Mythical Failure Menu Of Things That Do Not Work to Control Criminals.

Thirdpower listened to Dick Metcalf’s interview on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk.

But the stupid continues:

“I do not believe,” he said, “I cannot personally or philosophically believe that refusing or forbidding discussion of significant issues of any kind because of fear that somebody else might take advantage of it or hold it up as a matter of political weakness should ever close peoples’ minds or close the door to reasoned discourse.”

Where the F*** has this guy been for the last 5 years? He had to actually utter one of the mantras of the new generation of Gun Grabbers?  It is not that he suddenly became (or secretly he was one) a flunkie for the Gun Control groups or has been schtupping Japete on the side, I think he has been isolated from the rest of the world, tinkering with the guns that would appear in the catalog…er… Guns and Ammo and was oblivious what we have been facing pertaining gun rights.

I think we have found the Joe Biden of the Gun Culture.

I have to go with one I already posted. Originally from Tam at View From The Porch:

On this date in 1775, the first guy to sign on the dotted line in Tun Tavern in Philadelphia turned, looked at the second guy in line, and said “Things were different in the old Corps!“

Happy Birthday, Devil Dogs!
