I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed.
I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
This was the first Far Side I ever saw in a copy of The Tennessean way back then. I cut it off and taped it to my apartment’s mailbox that afternoon. The next day I heard the mailman laughing while doing his drop. To this day is my favorite.
I kinda miss Mr. Larson. He did appeal to a lot of people’s twisted (and I mean twisted) sense of humor.
I was raped on campus at Florida State University. He had a knife and I had pepper spray. You can read how well that worked for me. Campus carry is important to me; it is personal for me. It is time for Florida Republicans to let us defend ourselves.I never thought I would have to write this letter. I thought that after the amazing wins the Republican party gained this past election on a local, state, and national level, that our constitutional rights would not only be protected but we would revise all the laws that seek to unreasonably restrict those rights especially those that pertain to the second amendment.Yet here we are. I am writing this only days before legislative session starts officially on March 7th in Florida and the only thing that I have seen come out dealing with gun rights are sloppy bills from supposedly pro-gun Senators and Congressmen and a deep state of apathy and division within the Republican Party in measuring how they will deal with those bills.
Officer Daniel Webster, Albuquerque Police Department.
Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ recent visit to New Mexico to call for restrictive firearms legislation is further evidence that House Bill 50 and Senate Bill 48 are products of a national gun control agenda. Her organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, joins the chorus of outside groups led by billionaire New Yorker Michael Bloomberg pushing for burdensome regulations on the sale and temporary loaning of your personal firearms, even to people close to you, such as friends, neighbors, co-workers and even some family members…
…at the public hearing on HB50 before the New Mexico House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee, it became more personal for me. The bill’s author, as well as her lead witness, both invoked the name of my late husband, Albuquerque Police Department officer Daniel Webster, to promote the measure. Along with the media, they continue to imply that had these proposed laws been in place, my husband’s death would have been prevented…
I am not okay with this, and I know Dan would not have wanted his name associated with this bill either. He was against expanded background checks of any kind and stood behind our Second Amendment rights with honor and appreciation. The idea of him having to go to a licensed firearms dealer, complete federal paperwork and pay a fee for a records check on his buddy at work or on my dad if he wanted to sell or loan a gun to either of them is not only ridiculous, but intrusive. He certainly did not believe this type of gun control would solve the larger problems in our communities.
Holy crap! This means they did not even have the decency to meet with the widow and ask permission to use her husband’s name. How gorramed conceited are they that they think themselves fail-proof and people will go along with what they do because they are special and above common courtesy because they are doing important work. And probably do not care about the pain they inflicted on the widow because she is little people anyway and Giffords and Kelly know better that you and me and all the Gun Nuts.

They are no better than the grave diggers of old, stealing bodies for a profitable scheme. It is really disgusting.
The National Gunsense Coalition is a bunch of groups associated with our dear “friends” Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly. Hell, the use of the word “gunsense” gives it away from the get go.
But that is not what I wanted to touch upon. I checked this event on their Facebook page and something caught my attention:
I clicked on the pick and much to my sadness I saw the guns being turned for $50 a pop.
Number one looks like a M1 Carbine. Impossible to determine the manufacturer, but if it happens to be a run-of-the-mill Korean War era, you are talking under $1,000. One used in WWII and manufactured by Springfield goes for close to $2,500. Number two appears to be a Savage/Stevens 67 Shotgun that still can command $350 in not so good condition. Number three is a Marlin 336 that will fetch $500 and more without the scope.
Now, assuming that the people who brought the guns were their owners and not just some gangbangers dumping stolen goods and getting a Gift Card for allowing the County to dispose of the evidence. We are talking about $1,850 worth of guns traded for $150 possibly from people who may desperately need the money. That is fraud.
Fraud is the running condition of the whole Gun Control movement. I shouldn’t be surprised that they have no problem short-changing people as long as they can have their selfies posted in Facebook showing others how much “they care and are working hard to make us feel safe.”
Many shooters hold their fingers this way when not firing. They believe that since the finger is not on the trigger, an accidental discharge won’t occur. In general, they are correct. But most shooters don’t know that certain situations can cause an involuntary hand clenching. The tightening of the hand causes a contraction of all of the fingers with a force up to 30 lbs. (the Glock trigger pull weight is around 6 lbs.) and cannot be consciously controlled.
One of my greatest bouts of luck was having an instructor that taught be very early on about involuntary hand clenching. He used another wording, but the idea that both hands would act in synchronicity without a conscious order.
Read the whole article, figure out what you do with your trigger finger and fix what needs to be fixed.
The city of Baltimore and its police department appear to be suckers for punishment. If they used their Facebook page for this arrest with the hopes to look butch, the FAIL was grandiose.
And tens of thousands of people made some of the best comments ever seen in Social Media. Put you beverage away and enjoy just a very few of them.
