Dear Sarah: The Revolution will not have catering.

PS: A friend of mine just posted this in Facebook:

“Dafuq did I just read? Since when are we changing sides? I’m not gonna support the losing side in a Civil War twice.”

Made my day.

Last night at the Berkeley protest against Milo.

If you do not have an ammo count above the thousand rounds, you should be placing an order soonest.

There is dissent, there is even violent protesting, and then there is the announcement of warfare.

In case you are wondering who is the Nazi, just go to the nearest mirror. And no, you do not need to lockstep with the principles of the NSDAP or even have a Swastika Flag tacked up inside your garage: To be classified as Nazi, you just need to have a different opinion than the Left. The difference of opinion could be about immigration or beignets, if you dare to differ from the approved way of thinking (that day) you are to be punished in an extreme way.

And disabuse yourself of the notion that violence is only  used by a minority  on the Left without the acceptance of the majority: It is being fully supported by the mainstream “Rojillos” that see nothing bad about tuning up somebody they don’t like:

This exchange happened yesterday long before shit went downhill in Berkeley. Nicole is not some Millennial going to school but actually an English teacher that even if fully vested on the Leftie philosophy, she should know better between good and evil, between Legal and Illegal. Apparently not:

Fair play is for suckers, you are only allowed too hit the targets they deem enemies and the will support your attacks as long as they can watch from a distance far enough the blood does not splatter on their clothing. Even a momentary attack of morality can be easily smothered for the cause. She does not realize it, but she spoke like a true Nazi. Of course, shit hits the fan and the tides were to turn, she would claim innocence and that she was never a part of the violence…pretty much like what we see in this video clip.

One of the things that initially surprised me about last night’s protests at Berkerly but promptly I understood was the weak reaction from the Police: A 5-year-old throwing a tantrum at a supermarket had more force than the cops last night. But I won’t blame them: probably they were ordered to take light against the poorly misguided kids, and they were not willing to risk salary and pension on an accusation of police brutality by a bunch of progressive assholes who have no problem lying to the court. So why bother? Let them burn and break stuff, just as it happened in Baltimore with the blessings of the Mayor. But that also means you are on your own out there.  In some locales, politicians must kowtow to the left and in a lot of others, they think the old rules are still in play and they must appear “wise” and “balanced” which mean they will lean to the side that makes the biggest noise… and yes, the type of noise is going to be defined at a later date and probably will not come out of a bullhorn.

Basically, the Socialist Strike Force is out on force and they have the full support of the Mainstream Left Winger. They are getting away with shit because we are still being polite and thinking the Law will take care of them. I think it is time for you to prepare for the sad reality, you are wearing a Yellow Star or a Pink Triangle or have a copy of 1984 or Animal Farm or did something the New Nazis will consider enough to pass sentence on you.

It is gonna get much worse.

You have seen stuff like this and even nastier;

What makes this special? It was made by somebody who is in our side but it is not a fan of the NRA.

Listen, I understand that the NRA had its share of mistakes (not as many as other groups and people indicate) but going this far, actually saying you want to put NRA members up against a wall is the same cheap bullshit that the Opposition vomits. And it also makes you look like an idiot because you should know better than think NRA members will decide not to go gently into becoming targets. Specially me.

I made my displeasure know to the gentleman and it went to waste. Instead of manning up, he went with the “figure speech” excuse. Not good. You fucked up, admit it and we will carry on without rancor. Be a snowflake and you shall be branded asshole forever in my book.

Do I have issues with other Gun Rights organizations? Yes I do, but you will not see me saying an untoward word against them. Maybe in private among close friends and after several alcoholic beverages I might share my displeasure in a very measured way, but never in a public forum and never where the Opposition can use it against us.

“Damn it, Miguel! You are being overly sensitive again!” Hell yes I am, specially when this is part of your ancestry:

The photos above are not a “figure of speech” so you can look butch in Social Media.

Mind your effing mouth.

(PS: Dudley does not count as he is just a scammer)

This was a topic of discussion in a f\Facebook page and I thought it would make an interesting post.

“What outdated or essentially useless pistol, shotgun or rifle would be a guilty pleasure to have in your collection?”

Something I learned is that although Movies and TV do influence our desire (nothing to do about real life taste) about guns, I am long gone betting as why a person may have a particular attraction for a specific firearm  and that goes double for Grail Guns and Obsoletes.  I will even acknowledge that if i were to ask the same people again next week, at least half of them would change their answer.

Here are some of the answers. If you are wondering, one of my “obsoletes” would be a LeMatt revolver, with the one pictured here being my official BBQ Gun.

Blunderbuss

Cobray’s Street Sweeper

Calico M-100

Nambu Type 94.

Spas 12

Chinese .45 ACP C96

Mac 10 (and variants)

BAR

LeMat

.44 Automag

1895 Nagant revolver.

Mars pistol

M50 Reising

Webley

The only thing I can say is… Interesting selection!

At NRA’s urging, Florida Senate advances ‘gang members protection’ act.

Last week, a Florida Senate committee advanced an NRA-backed bill that one critic dubbed a “gang members protection” act, since it would make it harder for the state to convict killers and others who claim self-defense.

Right now, murder charges are handled the way most other criminal charges are handled. The state charges someone with murder. Then, at trial, the defendant is free to offer whatever defense he or she wants – whether it’s a claim of innocence, mental illness, self-defense or what have you.

This bill – Senate Bill 128 – would change that for anyone who claims they killed in self-defense. Instead, it would allow them to demand a pre-trial immunity hearing that would force the state to quickly prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the defendant is lying.

In other words: As long as you claim self-defense, you get another chance to have your case tossed.

Prosecutors have strongly objected.

Seminole County State Attorney Phil Archer told the judiciary committee that it would basically force prosecutors to prove guilt before they are ready for a full trial. It demands “an extraordinary standard of proof,” Archer said, noting that such a thing is required by “no other state in this country.”

At NRA’s urging, Florida Senate advances ‘gang members protection’ act. Orlando Sentinal.

The author of this excreta is Scott Maxwell. The bill in question is the extension of Stand Your Ground/Immunity from Prosecution which forces the state to present enough evidence to make a case for murder when the defendant is claiming self-defense.  But apparently for Mr. Maxwell, it will only apply to Gang Members and other assorted Criminal Element and not to the Florida Citizen who used Deadly Force for legitimate Self-Defense. Because we know damn well that the District Attorneys and the Police will NEVER charge anybody with murder unless they have it coming.

Now, you may or may not like a law or a person or even puppies, but as a professional of the news media (stop laughing) you should at least try to be somewhat accurate and truthful on the subject you are covering and not a rabble rousing liar who gets a paycheck from a dying media entity.

But Honor is a dead concept and why the fuck they should not lie to the public?

Although Powe was unaware of it, there already was something better. Powe had plausibly assumed that Justice Holmes had invented the theater analogy in Schenck, but this assumption was incorrect. The analogy was first used in the 1918 Cleveland trial of socialist Eugene Debs for violations of the Espionage Act. The prosecuting United States Attorney, Edwin Wertz, argued to the jury that “a man in a crowded auditorium, or any theatre, who yells ‘fire’ and there is no fire, and a panic ensues and someone is trampled to death, may be rightfully indicted and charged with murder.” Wertz’s use of this analogy had been largely forgotten by constitutional historians, but it was noted in a 1919 book about Eugene Debs and discussed in a 1987 article in the Indiana Magazine of History.

“Shouting Fire in a Theater”: The Life and Times of Constitutional Law’s Most Enduring Analogy.

It is a very interesting paper and amazingly easy to read. Not only the legal part, but the historical facts behind the expression are enlightening.
