From the Bureau of ATF: Box Whine and #GunSense

For as long as I’ve been scouring Twitter’s entertaining #GunSense tag, any time I’ve come across a phony “mom” demanding “action” (or worse, a real mom so resigned to being helpless that she’s actually emdangering the only things on earth she ought to risk it all to save), I’d typically just seagull the thread long enough to poop out the following image. It pretty much sums up Bloomberg’s city-dwelling, terrified, out-of-touch, vaguely female clientele and its uniformly uninformed opinion about safety and defense:

I dont know who came up with that, but it’s a classic. And like most classics, there’s now a remake with better special effects and a bigger budget, plus some corporate product placement for good measure. And unlike the sewage pouring steadily out of Hollywood, this one’s actually better than the original (or at least as good). Save it to your online ammo box and hit ’em where it hurts:

Delicious.

This is What Failure Looks Like.

I can wax philosophically for an hour and not give you the essence that this headline and photo can. The faces are just a perfect reflection of defeat..OK except that lady in the middle, probably laughing at some cat meme.

Congratulation Missouri! From being the most backward Southern State in Gun Rights not two decades ago, you are now way ahead of many others.

Peasant’s Revolt

Back in 2011, Obama blames America’s poor recovery on that fact that we have “gotten a little soft.”

Just recently in Laos, he said that Americans are “lazy.”

According to Obama, the reason that America is having a sluggish recovery and people are generally unhappy about the economy is not the fault of HIS policies, but because we just suck.  It’s not that Obama is letting down America, it’s that Americans are letting down Obama.

Hillary is tanking in the polls.  Nobody likes her.  So comes along a writer from BoingBoing to explain to us how it’s not that Hillary is just terrible at being likeable, it’s that we are just terrible at knowing how to like her.

Late night comedy is doing poorly, as comedians are taking sides in this election, and they are overwhelmingly taking Hillary’s side.  The comedy pitch is all the same, Hillary is awesome and those of us that don’t like her suck. The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah feels like he has to sacrifice himself to “save America” from Trump.  David Carr dismissed the population of about 37 states as “the dance of the low sloping foreheads.”

I know the Hollywood and Washington elite won’t listen to me.  According to them, I barely know how to read, can’t think, have no education, and spend my days drunk on Coors, shooting at gays because my preacher says to, taking the occasional break only to pork my sister in a double wide.

But occasionally one has to yell into the wind.

My patience has run out.  I am tired of wealthy and influential people in Hollywood and Washington thinking that they are better than me.  I am tired of them thinking that they are better than the majority of Americans who go to work every day and work to power the economy of this nation.  I am tired of being told that terrible politicians are wonderful, brilliant people, and that the problem is that We, the American People, are just to lousy to measure up to their expectations.

American was founded on the principle that all men are created equal.  But scratch a Hollywood or Washington liberal and you will find underneath someone that believes in a caste system to their very core.  We, everyday Americans, are the untouchables, and they resent that our political system means that we have a say.  They make it clear that they hate that they are shackled to us.  Only if we just learned to obey their vision, how great this national would be.  Except… not.

 

What they don’t get, and this will be their down fall, we don’t believe in a caste system.  We don’t accept that we are just peons who should obey our betters.  Right now, we’re just to busy maintaining our lives to really give a s#!t what putz on TV has to say.

But every people has a breaking point.

The French had enough when they were told by some out of touch queen to “let them eat cake.”

At some point, some late night comedian is going to do a bit about how Hillary Clinton’s economic plan was pure genius and we knuckle-dragging, cousin humpers just couldn’t make it work, and it will be one straw too many.

 

Worth a shot?

In a Wal-Mart parking lot (what’s with all the attacks at Wal-Marts recently?) in Fairfield, California, a man attacked, dragged from his car, and beat up a 64-year-old-man after the old man yelled at the attacker’s girlfriend for parking in a handicapped zone without a permit.

A number of bystanders stood around and videoed the attack.  The attacker turned on at least one of the bystanders recording the scene.

One bystander, Susan Fowler had a pit bull in the back seat of her car, but nobody else was armed.

Yes, it was California so CCW permits are about as rare as truthful statements by Hillary Clinton.  But let’s say that this didn’t happen in CA.

What would you do?  Intervene in the beating of an old man?  How about if the attacker advanced on you after just beating an old man?

Opinions?

Tamir Rice 2.0

Tyree King, age 13, was shot to death by racist white police officers who kill unarmed, young black boys for fun in Columbus, Ohio.

The police were responding to a report of a group of people who had committed and armed robbery.  The police approached King and another youth as part of their response.  The boys fled down an alley.  The police pursued them.  Cornered, King drew a BB gun from his waist band and was shot nine times.

Here we have another case of a black teen, shot by a cop.  A black teen who in this case drew a BB gun form his pants.  A black teen who fled from the cops before questioning, down a dark alley at night.

This was an unfortunate event, but from the news report, it seems like a justifiable shoot.

So far, there have been no reports of unrest in Ohio, but this just hit the wire.  I expect there is going to be some unrest when this story gains traction.

If there is one lesson to be learned from this: don’t draw on the cops with a BB gun.  You will lose.
