What would you do?

A 13 year old girl shot two people who worked at a beauty supply store.  The girl and her friend were kicked out for shoplifting.  When they came back, the cops were called on them.  The friend was arrested on an outstanding juvenile warrant.  The girl was allowed to go home by the police.  She returned to the store and shot the parents of the owner.

Bullets don’t discriminate.  Bullets don’t care about age or race or gender.  A bullet fired by a 13 year old girl is going to kill you the same as a bullet fired by a 25 year old man.

So what would you do?  Would you defend yourself from a 13 year old girl with a gun?  Could you shoot a 13 year old girl to save your life?

Let this be a reminder, don’t make assumptions when it comes to your safety.  The person who might try and kill you might the last person that you expect.

Again with the NYT

Ann Patchett, over at the NY Times, wrote a banal Op-Ed about why we should ban all guns but can’t.

Yes, we get it Ann, you shot a .22 when you were a kid and some family members of yours owned guns so you don’t really hate guns but you do really hate guns and now that you are part of the New York liberal elite you want to ban all guns blah blah blah oh my god won’t these people shut up about this already.

She ends her drivel with the same empty platitudes I’ve read about guns in every NY Times Op-Ed ever published about guns on any day that ends in ‘Y’.

Don’t ever believe the old saw about guns not killing people. They do and they will, again and again. Guns shoot children, parents, siblings, lovers, neighbors, co-workers, strangers and friends, in error and in fury. This will happen until we decide it should stop, which would mean getting rid of not only the AK-47s but the pretty little silver .22s as well. All of them. No one ever asks for that, maybe because it feels prudent to not enrage the many people who own guns, but the right to not get shot takes precedence over the right to bear arms.

Yes, guns are for killing.  No, the right to not get shot takes precedence over the right to bear arms.  There is no right to not get shot.  In fact, some people, through their actions should get shot.  Some people just need killing.  That is a simple fact.  The I’m not condoning murder or vigilantism.  But at that moment, when a person is under attack, their attacker has relinquished their right to life.

Watch this video below, of a woman in New Jersey, getting beaten by a home invader in front of her child.  Tell me, when she is having her head stomped on, when there is a chance that she may have been killed in front of her child, that it would not have been better for mom to get a gun out of a drawer when the man went upstairs and  shot him when he came down.

Tell me that a rapist has the right not to get shot when he is raping a woman.  Tell me a home invader has the right not to get shot when he is attacking a family over their property.  Tell me that any criminal actively harming a person has the right not to get shot.

Your fallacious right not to get shot, only protects those who intend to do harm.

I hope to never have to kill anybody.  But if I do, I hope what can be said about me is what is on the headstone of the gunfighter Robert Clay Allison.

Some Prognostication

Last year there were several high profile terrorist attacks in France, the Charlie Hebdo shooting, the Porte de Vincennes siege, and the November Saint-Denis attacks.  All of these were carried out by radical Muslims, some native born, some immigrants and all  associated with ISIS or ISIL.

On Bastille Day, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a Muslim immigrant from Tunisia, used a gun and a truck to kill at least 84 people and wound at least a hundred more in Nice, France.  In response to this attack, the French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said “Times have changed, and we should learn to live with terrorism. We have to show solidarity and collective calm.”

Recently released documents show that over 2,000 men sexually assaulted over 1,200 women in Germany on New Years Eve.  German public swimming pools are having to ban migrants  due to sexual assaults and rape of women in bathing suits and other disgusting things being done in pools.  The stories coming out of Germany are horrifying – a woman was recently gang raped by some refugees who claimed they raped the woman because they “were having a bad day.”

Migrants have turned Sweden into the rape capital of Europe, with things getting worse every month.

We in the United States have been somewhat insulated from this level of terrorism.  The fact that America is separated from the Middle East by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans has kept us from having the refugee crisis that Europe is facing.  But it is starting to trickle over.

First, there was the Pulse Nightclub Shooting, where the shooter Omar Mateen, pledged allegiance to ISIS.

A 22-year-old Syrian refugee, Emad Hasso, has been arrested for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a public swimming pool in Lowell, Massachusetts.

A number of governors of US states have declared that they do not want refugees settled in their states.  Predictably, they have been lambasted as bigots and Islamophobes for this.

The deep thinkers at the New York Times have opined that the best way to fight these types of attacks and assaults is with tolerance and understanding.  We are told that the Nice attack was the results of Islamophobia, and if the West were just nicer to Muslim migrants, they would stop destroying things.  Lastly, Secretary of State John Kerry – another deep thinker – said that the Nice attacks are evidence that ISIS is “on the run” because … an increasing numbers of attacks is a sign of desperation.

I’m not an Ivy League educated deep thinker.  I’m just a blogger, educated in Flyover country, living in the Deep South.  I know I don’t have the insight that my Liberal betters have, but here is what I see happening in the near future.

Some uneducated, knuckle-dragging dad who has not learned to live with terrorism, armed with his hand held replacement phallus to make up for his inadequacy, in a flyover state that allows people to conceal carry, will be insufficiently sensitive to the cultural norms and history of systematic oppression of some poor “Syrian” refugee, and be intolerant of said refugee when said refugee sexually assaults his underage daughter because she was wearing a bating suit or he was bored, and causes that refugee to suffer from a sudden onset case of terminal lead poisoning.

The media and politicians with vested interests in refugee resettlement will give the recently deceased refugee the St. Travon Martin de Sanford treatment.   We will learn how Ahmed Muhammad Burqa Burqa Sadiqq was a poor, oppressed child, at 25 years old, who just couldn’t help himself around a 12 year old girl, because of Western Islamophobia.  Dad will be we roundly criticized as a bigot and Islamophobe.

This may be the ultimate downfall of the US pro-refugee moment.  Americans, at least Flyover Country Americans who cling to their guns and bibles, are made of sterner stuff than Europeans.  We won’t refuse to report or apologize for being raped by a refugee or feel guilty when the refugee rapist is punished, because of the rapist’s minority status.  The media may try to sell us the lie that this is just a cultural misunderstanding.

“The man who is diddling your 6th grader is not a bad person and just needs a hug and some understanding” is not a sentiment  American’s are going to accept.  The idea that we should feel anything but disgust and hatred, let alone sympathy and tolerance, for men who feel it is acceptable to rape our wives and daughters will be rejected faster and with more gut-churning disapproval than week old raw oysters.

The only question I have, how many times will this or a scenario like this play out?

 

My head hurts

 

The white viciticrat crybully and Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King was inspired by the recent coup attempt in Turkey to say this:

King 1

Shaun King has come out against guns in the past, and is a dedicated member of the “penile inadequacy theory of gun ownership” fan club.

king 2

Black Lives Matter recently teamed up with other anti-gun groups to promote gun control.  Because EVERYTHING has to be about race in 2106, Marc Morial the head of the National Urban League said  “The [gun control] movement is too white, there’s no input from communities of color.”

Black Lives Matter claims that it is a peaceful organization and I am reminded by the media that #BLM is not responsible for  the violence that seems to follow it around.

Anti-gun groups such as the CSGV love to push the idea that the NRA and gun owners are mentally unstable and downright evil insurrectionists who want to own guns to take down the US Government.  They will tell you over and over and over again how millions of US citizens, armed with their deer rifles and semi-autos will be unable to defeat the US Army with its machine guns, tanks, and planes.  (Funny how my semi-auto AR15 is a “weapon of war” until I hypothetically go up against an actual military, then it suddenly becomes a useless pea-shooter.)

So I am totally confused how a honcho of a peaceful organization that calls for gun control is able to go all insurrectionist?

Oh that’s right, it’s not insurrection if his guy (or in this case woman) doesn’t win.

It is only insurrection if it is against your hack.  It’s only violence if it is against your people.  Guns are only for inadequate men if the gun owners are not politically aligned with you.  Citizens armed with only semi-autos and handguns will not overthrow a government if it’s your guy in office.

Funny how all that works.

 

 

Peak Transparancy

President Obama once said that his administration was the “most transparent” ever.  A lot of people say “no” to that, his administration has denied a record 77% of FOIA requests.  He has gone after a record number of whistleblowers.  He lies about everything, all the time.

But if you read between the lines, I think it is true, in an ironic sort of way.

When a radical Islamic extremist terrorist, named Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel from Tunisia, opened fire on and drove a truck through a crowd of people in France killing at least 84 and wounding hundreds of others, Obama vows to work with the French government to “investigate this attack and bring those responsible to justice.”

When a radical Islamic extremist gunman of unknown motivation, named Omar Mir Seddique Mateen of Pashtun heritage, killed 49 people and wounded 50 more after pledging allegiance to ISIS (nothing to see here) Obama and his counterparts on the Left make a push for gun control.

The transparency is in their actions.  They display, almost daily, how little they like Americans, especially those who disagree with them, or our civil liberties.

I’m done with Comedy Central

I cam across this video on my Youtube recommendations.

It is very difficult for me to say a good think about a dedicated Leftist.  I find their morals to be detestable.  I have a true dislike for the dyed-in-the-wool Bernie Sanders supporter because I loathe what they stand for.  It is greed and avarice.  Sure, they will tell you they are for more equality or some bullshit like that.  But what they really want, when you listen to them, is for people who make more money than they do to pay for their tuition, health care, rent, and everything else.  They believe it is the job of the government to redistribute wealth from those who make a lot of it to those who don’t.  The latter group, just happens to include them.  It is greed and avarice, dressed up as altruism.

For the 22% of Sanders supports who have jumped over to Trump, I can say this complimentary thing about them.  They may have detestable principles, but they are principled none the less.  When you ask them why they won’t support Hillary, to the man, they say it is because Hillary is a hypocrite.  She comes out against the 1% in speeches and then takes tens of millions of dollars in speaking fees.  She rails against Wall Street and then takes money from Wall Street and uses her influence to bail out her Wall Street son in law.  She is the queen of the 1%; corrupt, greedy, immoral, etc.

It’s hard for me to praise Trump, but I will say this complimentary about him.  He’s not a hypocrite.  What you see (as bad as it is sometime) is what you get.  He isn’t a billionaire that badmouths making money in some “I feel your pain” populism.

In this regard, Trump and Sanders are similar.  They are honest about what they stand for.  They don’t pander.

So watch how this Daily Show correspondent treats these Sanders turned Trump supporters like heretics.  This isn’t an interview.  This is her trying to convince them that they are wrong and them mocks them for their supposed stupidity.  I can’t agree with a Sanders supporter on 99% of issues, but as soon as one says that Hillary is corrupt, greedy, and should be in jail and not the Oval office, I can come across no-man’s-land to shake hands on that.  This correspondent is just a Democrat-at-all-costs Hillary hack.

I know The Daily Show is on Comedy Central.  But it has billed itself as a News Show for some time.  Not a parody news show but a real news show.

I liked Jon Stewart.  He was legitimately funny.  Yes, he was left of center, but he attacked Democrats as well when they deserved it.  It wasn’t perfectly balanced, but Stewart had the integrity to point out bullshit on both sides of the aisle.

This isn’t funny.  This isn’t speaking truth to power.  This pure, one sided hackary.

First they came for the black rifles

The notoriously far left wing propaganda news site conducted a poll where they showed a group of Democrats and Republicans 11 different guns and asked them which ones should be illegal.

Because, of course, our Constitutional rights should be decided by having a bunch of people decide what looks scary.

The poll was pretty much as you’d expect, Democrats were more in favor of banning guns than Republicans and the semi autos were more favored to be banned than the lever guns.

But what caught my eye was this:

Remington 700

When polled on the Remington 700, 42% of people thought it should be legal and 42% of people thought it should be illegal.  Only 26% of Democrats thought it should be legal.

The Remington 700 was introduced in 1962.  It is a push-feed bolt action rifle.  It is, by volume of sale, the most popular bolt action rifle sold, and  is, without a doubt, the most popular hunting rifle in North America if not the world.

The model above is a Remington 700 BDL with a synthetic stock and black oxide finish.  The synthetic stock and black oxide is a popular combination due to lower cost.

I can almost hear the 74% of pearl clutching Democrats who saw that black rifle with the big optic on it and shriek “Oh my god, look at that evil sniper rifle.”

According to Democrats, the list of “evil black guns” isn’t just AR-15’s and Glocks, but includes the most popular hunting rifle sold in America.

They said they weren’t coming for you deer rifles.  They are going to call them “assault sniper rifles” when they make you turn them in.
