The Honduran constitution doesn’t enshrine a “right to bear arms” like the 2nd Amendment does, but gun laws have been historically lax in Honduras. The chief restriction is a law that limits an individual to owning just five firearms, but that’s lightly enforced at best. Successive governments in the 2000s theoretically tightened Honduran gun laws—a national registry was created in 2002, assault weapons were banned in 2003, and it’s been technically illegal to carry guns (openly or concealed) in public since 2007.

So there was a crime problem, they imposed Gun Laws and the crime problem increased. I would have never thought that was possible!

I checked Honduras’ Gun Laws to see how lax they are and they have that wonderful cornucopia of BS we expect to see from gun control idiots: From registration to forbidding ammunition handloading to ballistic fingerprinting. Curiously, if you are a government official or in the military, you are exempt from these laws as they were created for the peons.

Gun Control: Because actually going after the causes of crime is for people with testicular fortitude.

Backyard arms trader Angelos Koots admitted making up to 100 of the perfectly constructed MAC 10 machine guns – more commonly seen in war zones and believed to have been used in Sydney gang shootings – at his Seven Hills house.

The guns, sold with two magazines and a silencer, were of such quality that during “Mythbuster” style tests alongside a genuine MAC 10 they fired 600 rounds a minute.

Sydney District Court heard that Koots made the guns for an associate……

I know it is a cliché, but where there is a will there will be a way. To think otherwise is stupid and a waste of time and resources.

UPDATE: Go check Elfward, the Elf on a Shelf. It is worse that we thought! 😀

It seem there is a thing about an Elf behaving badly and having his picture taken misbehaving. Maybe Santa needs to be notified.

He obviously has a substance problem and it ain’t sugar cookies.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, who called themselves the National Coalition to Ban Handguns, until they decided that they also want so-called “assault weapons” banned, is very fond of accusing gun rights advocates of “racism”–but apparently not at all fond of presenting evidence for these charges, judging by the fact that they almost never do (almost as if they have no evidence). They have, in fact, dismissed pro-rights arguments on the grounds that the person articulating those arguments is white. White=wrong, apparently, although their “About Us” page and “Meet the CSGV Stafff” video certainly appear to be on the pale side.

They also paint a picture of volunteer border security “Minuteman” organizations as “vigilante” hate groups.

That’s why it came as something of a shock to this correspondent that during a Twitter debate, CSGV took the bizarre position that one cannot argue that the seizure by conquest of the North American continent from Native Americans (perhaps with the morally egregious aid of biological warfare) was morally wrong, without being “oppose[d to] the founding of this nation.” Thinking that this was too crazy a position even for CSGV, I sought clarification:

 

Here is the screencap of the exchange with the blessing of fellow “Inusrrectionist” Kurt Hoffman :

No, he is not kidding. We are talking about the same group that had no problem with mass incarcerations of US Citizens based on religious or ethnic issues.

About the “dialogue” and the “common sense measures” they want us to take? They don’t sound that “reasonable” to me. It is more like “We will kill you for the betterment of this nation.”

…you kinda lost the argument.

On the good News Side: Not even Al Gore watches his former Cable channel.

I was informed yesterday of a ND with accompanying four holes & self-induced blood-letting that happened in a local range. The incident occurred when the shooter was holstering a loaded weapon during training.

Holstering is possibly one of the most dangerous maneuvers in pistol handling because the handgun will be manipulated very close to the body, specially after we have done some shooting and the adrenaline is still flowing. Knowing so, please memorize this:

THERE ARE NO EXTRA BROWNIE POINTS FOR FAST HOLSTERING A GUN.

If you are done shooting, you have all the time in the world to holster your weapon safely. We practice and practice trying to achieve the perfect gun handling to the point we don’t have to think about it and it becomes second nature and that is fine. But we do need to stop and think SLOW when holstering.

A fellow bald-headed shooter who lives in Keys (Yeah Dodge, that’s you) may strike you as overly-theatrical if you see him loading/unloading and holstering a weapon. You can say that his technique is full of “dramatic pauses” but he is consciously making sure that every step is correct and safe. He might look silly, but guess what? I don’t think he will have a Negligent Discharge and ballistic body piercing in his future.

Check this video of Rob Pincus and notice his finger at all times when he is not shooting.

Holstering safely is just like drawing your gun but backwards and slow. Practice at home with an unloaded weapon and remember to keep that muzzle away from your body. If you have a holster that forces you to aim your gun at any part of your body, you may want to dump it and find something safe.

George Zimmerman’s girlfriend wants to drop charges

5. During the argument, George and I exchanged words l.u. the heat of the moment and we were in very close proximity in a relatively small room. George never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner.
6. I want to be with George. I contacted George’s attorney to ask if there was any way that the stay away order can be lifted so that we can talk and be together. I am not afraid of George any manner and I want to be with him.
7. I do not want George Zimmerman charged. I make this decision freely, knowingly and voluntarily, without any intimidation coercion or undue influences. Neither George Zimmerman nor anyone on his behalf bas threatened me or coerced me or subjected me to any undue influences.

Lessons to be learned: Some women are crazy & are attracted to anything that can make them famous. I said it once: George needs to move to Alaska and be off radar for at least a year. I might understand that after being targeted as the worst person in the world, one might fall for a pretty face saying kind words that may soothe you…but better be a bit paranoid and stay the hell away from everybody.
