“Gun owners are required to report the theft of guns to the police,” Barrett said. “If an assault weapon that has been registered ends up in the wrong hands and is used in a crime, the police will know who is legally responsible – the gun owner.”

I understand now why Bloomberg was elected and re-elected. He ran under the Idiocy platform and there is a glut of followers of that trend of the in NYC.

“The Internet has become one of the major and most dynamic modes of communication,” the report warns. “The Internet can link people, groups and organizations together instantly. Moreover, it allows an extraordinary amount of unregulated data and information to be located in one area and available to all. The right wing has seized upon the Internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the Internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.”

That is a partial from a document called: “The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce,” written by the Clinton Administration (possibly Hillary herself) and bitching about the freedom of the Internet. 

There is no doubt that the Internet was a game changer in the fight for Gun Rights. The Establishment could no longer control neither the flow of information nor the grouping of like-minded individuals and its eventual organization into a more cohesive and effective group which is a tough thing to do when you are trying to herd a bunch of individualists.

I said it in a past post and I will repeat it again: If Al Gore (A.K.A. the Father of the Internet ) would have thought the Interwebs would create this much trouble,  he would have strangled that baby with its umbilical cord.

Not a Joke. Actually posted in the official MAIG’s Everytown For Gun Safety Facebook page:

And you may ask yourself, Who is the “genius” responsible for this sheer idiocy? The answer is: Kevin Call.

He is also the “Director of Social Media” for MAIG and used to work for The Raben Group, a DC Lobby organization aligned with very powerful entities such as the Joyce Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation.

I am guessing Mr. Call is the one that failed to secure the Everytown Facebook page, but he was indeed the one that went crying to the Zuckenberg tribe about the mean Gun Bullies stealing it.

Concord Hymn
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument, July 4, 1837

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

This here is an interesting-looking rifle. A proprietary lower that takes standard uppers and AR magazines plus allegedly is 50-State legal.
