Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Young Goebbels supports Generalissimo Gwen Graham.

So here I am trying to write a nice post about Gwen Graham when J. Kb. beats me to it.

Gwen Graham’s pedigree runs deeply anti-gun. Her father is former Governor and Senator Bob Graham who in 1985 vetoed Florida’s Concealed Weapons Law. It was not till he departed office and a new governor was in that the law that would shake America’s self Defense and Second Amendment landscape became law.

She is a purely political animal, raised in the halls of power in Tallahassee and worked for Howard (The Scream) Dean and John (Ugly Jane Fonda) Kerry. So, she would very much likely try to pull the Declaration of Emergency stunt, but other than a heart laugh and sinking the state of Florida in a slew of lawsuits and petitions for the application of  Section 17 of the Florida Constitution, she would not accomplish much.

But at least she can move forward knowing that she has David Hogg’s seal of approval.

David Hogg opens his mouth again…

And once again I am at a loss for words that can be repeated in polite company to explain the level of sheer stupidity that comes out of his childish brain.

I have the feeling that he won’t be have to worry about getting hisself indebted with Student Loans for college anytime soon.  He is now at the Billy Carter stage of his short-lived political career.

Ruger Mark IV Recall.

From their release. Click on the link for all the information.

 Ruger recently discovered that all Mark IV™ pistols (including 22/45™ models) manufactured prior to June 1, 2017 have the potential to discharge unintentionally if the safety is not utilized correctly. In particular, if the trigger is pulled while the safety lever is midway between the “safe” and “fire” positions (that is, the safety is not fully engaged or fully disengaged), then the pistol may not fire when the trigger is pulled. However, if the trigger is released and the safety lever is then moved from the mid position to the “fire” position, the pistol may fire at that time.

The old joke applies. All Ruger firearms have 2 dates: Date of release and date of recall.

Fake News Alert: Florida has had 51 mass shootings since Pulse .

I saw this little article from the Orlando Weekly being passed around in different Social Media locations. Right off the bat, I find an old “friend”: Gun Violence Archives.

What’s often blurred through headlines and our 24-hour news cycle is that Florida has a serious gun violence problem. Between June 12, 2016, to now, the state of Florida has experienced a total of 51 mass shootings. Of those incidents, 118 have died and 280 were injured.

This data comes from the Gun Violence Archives, a nonprofit research group that tracks gun violence using police reports, over 2,000 nationwide media outlets and other public resources.

Florida has had 51 mass shootings since Pulse

Gun Violence Archives has a long tradition to stretch what is “gun violence” so it makes it to its archives. I searched for event ins Florida and the first four was a mighty stretch from what normal  people in general consider gun violence:

Notice that there were no people killed nor wounded, that is because they were cases were the police detected a person carrying illegally and 3 stolen guns.  So that right there gives you an idea of their accuracy and leanings.

The Left and Gun Control groups have decided to confuse an Active Shooter with Mass Shootings. The definition of an Active Shooter according to DHS is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.” So what does Gun Violence Archives define as Mass Shooting/Active Shooter cases? Gang related shooting in NYC and Drive By shooting in Alabama, a domestic hostage situation near Orlando in which they added the shooter to the count because he committed suicide.  A party in California where at least three shooters wounded six people and one suffered an injury running away bit still was counted as a gunshot victim. Another party in Illinois again with several shooters injuring 7 people. And yes, yet another birthday party has 2 groups of juveniles shooting at each other with 5 injured. And what do you know, another birthday party ends up with 2 dead and 2 wounded in Bloomington, Illinois. Closing the small list we have 1 dead and 5 wounded in the South Side of Chicago during a Drive-By.

Top searches for Mass Shootings. A small sample.

No lone shooter with an AR 15 coming into a school to shoot orphaned undocumented children but just your standard and crappy fare of violence which keeps being ignored and only makes it as fake statistics and fake news when a shocking headline is needed.

Not for nothing, but I am staying the hell away of birthday parties as they seem to be a magnet for bullets.

 

Never confusing 5.56 mags with .300BLK mags ever again.

Load your favorite .300BLK in these mags and I doubt there will be issues.

PS: I have been asked where can people buy those magazines. I do not know but there is a rumor that certain Florida Gun Blogger does the hydrographic kitty thing in the comfort of his Abode.  🙂

Here is some of his previous work:

OK, before he shoots me, he really does not do kitty magazines… but I could not resist semi-starting the rumor.

Acceptable Mass Killing according to #GunSense and Gun Control.

Prosecutors say Hyde used a machete to kill 37-year-old Dorla Pitts, 17-year-old Starlette Pitts and 19-year-old Michael Deon Kelly Jr. at their Lehigh Acres home in 2015. Prosecutors added the additional murder charge for Starlette Pitts’ unborn child.
The victims were found dead after a family friend went to check on them. Hyde was arrested after he was pulled over by law enforcement for driving erratically in his aunt’s car.

Man gets life sentence for killing family with machete

That is four killed in a very nasty way so it complies with the definition of mass killings (at least the last definition that the Left came up with). Although I will assume Liberals will complain that performing an non-documentable abortion against just “tissue” should not be considered murder
