Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
He is just too busy to do it himself. Instead he sent the orders to New York and they are being faithfully executed by the Army of Major Bloomberg: The NYPD.
You know what just popped in my head? That he might have misinterpreted the part in the oath of office that goes “Faithfully Execute.”
Apparently Gun Control Activist are realizing that they are not pulling the draw they were thinking they could.
The “New Goal” is interesting. Does that mean they started with an even lower number? In any case, it is an indication that they need to make noise, but it is not the big boom they thought they could achieve.
We know that they are preparing to do a whole Dancing On Blood Marathon (Don’t you dare call it a shameless political exploitation!) on the anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre and even the Highness at The White House is supporting the effort but mostly to try to deviate the crapload of bad news from the ObamaCare debacle (Squirrel!) I figure we’ll see Uncle Joe “Shotgun” Biden playing Simon Cowell and a galaxy of other menial Hollywood stars attaching themselves doing their bit for the betterment of our society.
UPDATE: It seems they did start with a lower number and only reset the goal when they have secured it.
It does not show a lot of confidence on their cause or themselves.
An article in 5820.com about the suffering of Evie Hudak has CSGV in fits. Mean people has said nasty things to her and she has or is close to have the vapors (is that a politically correct thing to say?) because , you know, she is a woman.
A rape survivor testifying against the bill said she would have perhaps not been victimized had she been carrying a firearm. Hudak had countered that statistics didn’t support the likelihood of prevailing over an assailant while armed. Her remark hadn’t been well received at the time—and it was clearly still inciting a negative response. Hudak closed the laptop, slipped into bed, and tried not to cry as she lay next to her husband. She reminded herself: As a politician, she was supposed to have thick skin.
Not quite what she said or how she said it. Here is the original quote:
“Thank you for sharing your story,” Hudak said. “Very, very unsettling story. I just want to say that, actually statistics are not on your side even if you had had a gun. You said that you were a martial arts students and yet, I mean, person, experienced in taekwondo, and yet because this individual was so large, was able to overcome you even with your skills and chance are that if you had had a gun then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you. The Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence says that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them.
Here is the rub. Not only she is disingenuous about the statistics (Can you mention one single media article where it says that the woman had a gun in her hands but the attacker took it away from her and killed her? me neither) , she is also saying that surrender, rape and possibly murder is a much better tactic for a woman than actually defending herself. Why? because you know, she is a woman! Incapable of doing anything worthwhile like actually defending her body and her life!
I still cannot get my head around this political bipolarity. The same people who keeps telling women to be independent, that there is nothing in the world that they cannot do, that they can beat men at their own game, flip the switch and treat them as fragile dolls that will come apart if somebody passes gas in their general direction when it comes to the basic principle of self-defense. “Darling, a gun? Mais Non! Use a tongue depressor to puke on your opponent, Or you can soil yourself (I hope you went to Taco Bell first) or tell them you are a whore and have a nasty social disease. But don’t you dare use a gun to defend yourself! That would be so…. unladylike!”
I am not buying for two seconds that Hudak is all upset because she got called nasty names by email. If anything she is upset because her fellow Dems in Colorado told her she needed to quit before the Republicans could put one of their own in her spot after a recall they knew she was going to lose. If anything she might be crying because of the tire marks imprinted on her face by the bus she was thrown under for political expediency.
PS: Women with guns are not only empowered but sexy as hell.
I found out about his passing from a Facebook post of a former Marine friend of mine. He said (and I did not know) that he was a gun guy and a supporter of our troops. He was on his way to a charity to help the hurricane victims in the Philippines when he died
But a sickening meme has appeared regarding his death. It is pretty much “screw him, he was just another Hollywood celebrity. What about (insert somebody or group here)?”
You know damnable well that I have no problems for those whose lifestyles are stupid and conductive to early passing to do so. But Paul Walker was not one of them but one of us.
And even if was not a part of our culture, he was trying to do the right thing when he died. A self centered Hollywood celebrate might just have called his accountant, have check issued and then have his PR person issue press release telling the world how much he cared for the little people.
So, those of you being all tactical hipster, stop being ricks.
thank you.
Ps: still on a tablet…hare it.
