This guy was responsible for the death of over 300 children. In the same incident, he killed an US Congressman and four members of the media. 600 other adults died by his influence.
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to (re)introduce to you the Reverend James Warren “Jim” Jones:

So why don’t we hear more about the Reverend Jim Jones and his atrocious doings? At the time it garnered an incredible amount of press but after a while, it disappeared from the nation’s consciousness. The only thing that remains with us is the expression “Drinking the Kool Aid” which is associate with a large group of people sticking to an idea no matter how stupid or dangerous can be.

The Reverend Jim Jones was a very good cult leader.  For a jaded end of the 70s, he was charming and engaging, said the right things and was cunning enough to side with the right Democrat politicians at the time. From California ‘s Governor Jerry Brown (yes, the same guy is now back in charge over there) , Jerry Moscone, Walter Mondale and even the First Lady Rosalyn Carter. The People’s Temple (Jones’ church) had all the right connections that provided him with the cachet and respectability to garner more followers.

Reverend Jones was an avowed leftist to full throttle communist. But he also loved the monies and the women. He was extremely paranoid which led him to prepare a camp in Guyana to survive the “nuclear apocalypse” but ended up as refuge from possible prison as he and his cult was starting to being put under a microscope by some. Before anything could happen, he raised stakes and moved to Jonestown , his heaven on Earth.

On November of 1978, Congressman Leo Ryan and a group of people including media went to Guyana to investigate The People’s Temple and the allegations of grave abuse that had been popping from former cult members. Ryan spoke with several people and on November 18 as he and his party (which now included some cult members wanting to get out) were about to get in a plane to leave, they were shot by a group of Jone’s trustees on the tarmac. Four people including Rep. Ryan were murdered.

Back at the compound, Jim Jones announced that it was time to end it all and commit suicide. Cyanide mixed with a kool-aid-type flavoring was mixed and members began to take their lives. Those who refused or were unable to take the deadly cocktail, were either shot or forced to ingest the poison.

Again, 300 children were murdered by forcing them to take cyanide. The other 600 victims were all adults and even though they were under the “spell” of Jones’ careful mindgames, they are still adults and most did themselves by their own hand, some after killing their own progeny.

The picture below shows a “mixing station”. You will see syringes loaded with the cyanide mixture. They were used to poison the children and the infirm.

The Jonestown massacre is pretty much forgotten as it was an embarrassment for the government and the Democratic Party machine. Jones had suckered some very high people into getting influence and even government positions even when problems with him and his temple were gathering strength. He got one of their congressman killed and 900 Americans alongside so it needed to be forgotten. The fact that the massacre happened outside the USA also helped erase it from the American consciousness.

Today is December 28th. According to the Catholic Calendar, we commemorate the Massacre of the Innocents by orders of Herod.  I thought it was a good moment to remind us about the other innocents who died by the hand of crazy people and the stupid.

And when somebody tells you about their version of the “worst massacre of kids” and get ready to cash on political brownie points, you remind them, forcefully that they are not only wrong but sick bastards who deserve to be spit on for callousness, indifference or ignorance.

First I was anointed as “insurrectionist” and now I am in a exclusive list of Gun Control Advocates under the hastag #GunBullies.

A quick search of the Twitter handle @Guitars4Guns and the websites, point us to one Jay Rothschild of Chicago who also own Rockagainstguns.org. Mr. Rothschild appears to be some sort of IT consultant, musician and fan of the “selektion” of undesirables Gun Owners in the Twitterverse.  “Let’s have a conversation about guns….SHUT UP GUN OWNER!” meme is strong and stupid as ever.

Dear Mr. Rothschild, will banning us from Twitter be enough or we will be forced to wear armbands  with geometric figures in real life?  I hear yellow never goes out of fashion for armbands.  I do have an issue with tattoos since I am afraid of needles. Maybe a henna tattoo in the inside of my arm will suffice.

And that is why we will win.

PS : If you have a twitter account, use the “Selektion” list to follow everybody!

UPDATE: Sean Sorrentino just informed that the list is now super-duper secret as Mr. Rothschild made it password accessible only. Ammoland got some screen captures and the list before our beta male locked it.

I guess we have reached the Gun Control Equivalent of the No-Fly List!

As far as I could research, there is no evidence that Adam Lanza had a history of inflicting domestic violence on anybody. You may want to split sophomoric hairs and say that shooting his mother in the head that awful day is domestic violence, but she was just the first victim of a killing spree in my opinion.
As for the original article, I have no idea what the heck is going on.  Too many lacking details to make any sense and I would not be surprised that it is all BS as she could have visitation rights stopped if she can prove that he is a restricted person with a history of violence possessing weapons illegally. A family judge will always side with the safety of the child in a hurry.

Según el informe de la Organización No Gubernamental (ONG) Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia (OVV), el año 2013 cerrará con al menos 24 mil 763 muertes violentas en el país. Estiman que la tasa es de 79 fallecidos por cada cien mil habitantes.

Señalan que durante este año, se observó un incremento en los homicidios, sobre todo en las ciudades “medianas y pequeñas”. “También se notó un crecimiento en los casos de resistencia a la autoridad”, refiere el informe.

According to the report of the Non Governmental Organization (NGO) Venezuelan Violence Observatory (SVO), the year 2013 will close with at least 24 thousand seven hundred and sixty-three violent deaths in the country. They estimate that the rate is 79 deaths per hundred thousand inhabitants.

They point out that this year, an increase was observed in the killings, especially in the “medium and small” towns. “An increase in cases of resisting arrest was also noted,” the report relates.

Venezuala’s gun laws are the dream of every Gun Control Activist: One gun per lifetime, mag capacity, fixed number of ammunition a year, background checks with psychological examinations, no reloading of ammunition, gun confiscation at any time without due process or  reason, etc. And I forgot, there has been no legal firearm sales for almost 2 years after the importation of firearms for civilian use was shut down and very few gun stores that existed were ordered to shut down.

Criminals are still getting their guns apparently, and one source has been cops murdered just to get their weapons. I don’t have the latest stats but by October, 69 of them had been ambushed and killed for their sidearms.  Those numbers do not include the members of the Venezuelan National Guard that act as the equivalent of State Police & Border Patrol.  To give you an idea, LEO deaths by gunfire in the US till today are tallied at 31. Venezuela’s number is more than double but the country has less than one tenth the population of the United States or the equivalent of Texas.  The Lone Star State had a rate of 4.4 murders per 100,000 people and God knows how many guns per Texan (at least one per person making it close to 30 million), four LEOs killed and “lax” gun control laws.  Now compare it with Venezuela’s 79 murders per 100,000 people, 69 cops killed (till October) and an estimated 5 million guns in civilian hands under strict government regulation.

If this does not scare you about Gun Control, nothing will.

Update: Missed this one yesterday:

According to BATFE manufacturing data, Ruger made almost 177,000 pistols in .380 caliber in 2011. The only .380 they made in 2011 was the LCP, and they made enough of that one model to arm every man, woman, and child in Knoxville, TN or Providence, RI.

And Tam also points out:  “But the Brady Bunch says that gun ownership is shrinking…Yeah, keep tellin’ yourself that, Sparky.”

I don’t mind the Antis keep repeating themselves, specially while making mistakes as it makes our jobs easier. They do have the cash and the fanaticism so don’t take them for granted as they will not stop until they are sent into the same intellectual gulag where Kluklers and Stalin Apologists are now residing: Oblivion.

C’mon, tell me you did not entertain the though at least for 10 seconds after seeing the sticker.
