Chris, a certified asshole, after accusing me of ripping the content of the post, proceeds to share a link from Red State where the an explanation is given about the contradictory statements.

My apologies for the confusion. It is not the first time we got stuff wrong here and (this is for Chris) every time we make a correction and apologize to our readers because we have a sense of decency and do not wish to be confused with journalists.

Interview with Time Magazine on Feb 15, 2018

David Hogg, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, knows what gunshots sound like: His father worked in law enforcement, and taught him about weapons and how to handle them. So when Hogg heard a “pop” while sitting in an AP environmental science class around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, he told his teacher it sounded strangely like a gunshot. But there had been a fire drill that very morning and talk of a “Code Red” exercise to prepare for an active shooter. This must just be a surprise drill, he reasoned.

A Student Started Filming During the Florida School Shooting. He Hasn’t Stopped

But then for a CBS interview he states that on the day of the shooting, he rode three miles from his house to the school to take video.

There is something rather fishy here.  But we would not dare say Junior Goebbels is lying, would we?

“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
― Joseph Goebbels

To me I have confirmation of why this time we are having such a rough time. We know that money and organization is coming out from the Joyce Foundation and Bloomberg’s Everytown. But seeing the Giffords group involved means that whatever infighting Gun Control groups had before, they managed to stop it and are now working together with the big gorilla Bloomberg at the helm. And I wouldn’t be surprised that Brady is also in there, specially since suddenly they have money again for another lawsuit.

In other news, some Pro-Gun Groups find it a matter of pride to show their alleged independence by crapping all over our Gorilla.

No wonder we appear weak to the legislators and they went with the Opposition. .

I just saw this in Facebook:

And it hit me: Samizdat

For the younger readers, allow me to explain, Samizdat (Self-Publishing) was a form of dissidence used in the former Soviet Union to reproduce and pass along documents that the State deemed dangerous and were censored. Obviously this was back then a 100% underground enterprise and if caught, you would end up in a “re-education” camp in Siberia and later exile while enjoying the benefits of deep freezing weather for a decade or more.

Books like Animal Farm (and pretty much anything George Orwell), One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and even Anna Karenina were targeted by the Soviets and reproduced by people in the underground using typewriters, mimeographs and even by hand.

But if there was a Samizdat  that Soviet Apparatus hated and prosecuted with undue fervor were the Periodicals. Anything that was some sort of weekly or monthly publication dealing with the current life in the USSR was considered “Anti-Soviet Agitation and Propaganda …with the purpose of undermining or weakening of the Soviet power or with the purpose of committing or incitement to commit particularly grave crimes against the Soviet state.”

So, what we are watching right now is the beginning of our Samizdat in a Brave New World Media. We have been labeled criminals by the private-powers-that-be and I we are refused to use their access to our consumers, we shall see and produce our media, our “illegal” media by other means.

Desktop Publishing, once considered a benefit for all of us will become a cancerous pain in the side for those who seek to shut us down.

PS: Spell checker did not know what a mimeograph was, I am old.
I added a link to a YouTube video for those who have not heard the term either. 

As seen over at Wirecutter’s

That would be the American Hunters, all 16.9 million of them.

Granted, these shots are taken by masters in their craft with damned good equipment, but the principle is the same.

Some in the Opposition are trying their utmost to create an event that would lead to a police and/or military response against Gun Owners. That would not be a wise course of action.

Admitting to owning an AR-15 is now the same as admitting to being a rabbi in Berlin in 1934.
The groundwork is laid. The sheep have been successfully frightened. Soon it will be registration, for the children, of course. Then they will want the normal capacity magazines turned in, for the children, of course. Then they will want the semi-autos turned in, for the children, of course. Then the handguns turned in, for the children, of course. And then it will be all the rest of them, like Australia and Britain, and this too will be for the children.

We will be pariahs, then criminals, and finally, we will need to be dealt with.

Fine. I’ll wear it like a yellow star

Fine

Just yesterday I was cleaning up a bit my messy office and I found the Life Member kit that came in the mail after I upped. The in is still there and will remain there for no other reason that I am notoriously bad about losing pins.
However, the sticker may just end in the truck sometime tomorrow.
