If you thought the assault on the NRA endorsements ended with the Harry Reid send-off, you are sorely mistaken. Apparently the NRA must now receive approval from certain “uncompromisable” bloggers (and probably not NRA members) before being able to think about publishing any kind or release endorsing anybody or anything. Here is the funny thing: they are talking about candidates that have come to their attention only because the NRA endorsed them and somebody did not like it. We have people criticizing the NRA for endorsing somebody they know nothing about five states over where they live, but since somebody told them that the NRA should have gone the other way just because, now they are pouncing as if the NRA-PVF was endorsing the offspring of Pol-Pot and Aileen Wuornos. There is a difference between critical analysis and rabid deprecatory speech but they somehow seem to miss the difference.

But what really ticks me off is that the “critics” feel that you, me and everybody else are too frigging dumb to make our own decisions and that we will blindly follow what the NRA says. How dare they? Who died and made you Lord Overseer Reader and Controller of the Minds? How come do you have the tse-tse fly induced inflated testicles to assume I am some idiotic low form of sub-par life incapable of making my own analysis and that you must come to the rescue of my poor feeble mind? Incidentally, isn’t that the same thing the opposition does? That we are too dumb to make the decisions about having guns and that we are not smart enough, prepared enough or ready enough to exercise our Second amendment rights? Why are you doing the same thing about my right to vote?

I and many Gun Owners are smart enough to look all over the issues pertaining a candidate and we will weigh carefully our decision before popping the chad, pulling the lever or pushing the button. So stop telling me and everybody else for whom to vote. If you feel the need to strong arm somebody to have them vote the way you want it, go join the New Black Panther Party or local Union.

……………………………………………………………………………..

PS: Now, if you feel that strong about having the NRA measure each possible combination in life before endorsing anyone, I propose that they should go through the following list and gave us their pickings before they do anything else.

Dear NRA: Please choose the one you want to endorse and explain carefully if you want my vote and a nice post in my blog:

1. Best TV father: Homer Simpson, Mike Brady, Archie Bunker.
2. Jennifer Lopez or Steven Tyler as judges for American idol.
3. Taste Great or Less Filling. (I know, I am that old)
4. Pepsi One or Coke Zero.
5. Rocky Road, Butter Pecan or Moose Tracks.
6. Old Hawaii 5-0 or New Hawaii 5-0.
7. 9mm vs .45acp. vs .40 S&W.
8. Tactical Black, Army Digital Cammo or MarPat.
9. Best fries are from McDonalds or Burger King or Wendy’s.
10. Blondes, Brunettes or Redheads.
    (Note: No matter how you answer, it will be the wrong thing.)

According to His very High-ness Richard Daley, cops in Chicago face a threat from a new type of gun (New at least to me), the Semi-Fully Automatic Weapon.

“Many times [the police are] outgunned, to be very frank,” Daley said at an event in the Englewood neighborhood. “When they come to a scene, someone has a semi-fully-automatic weapon, and you have a little pistol, uh, good luck.”

In a way, I think I am gonna miss him. It is not every day you find such level of idiocy emanating from the head of a major city.

For those illustrated souls that think you can stop violent deranged people from killing innocents with just a restraining order and a call to 911:

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A man shot and killed his estranged wife and four of his stepchildren and then killed himself early Monday, but he spared his two biological children, police said….Police said there was a restraining order against Dell, who was in the midst of a divorce from his wife. He had gone after his wife with a knife in December, telling her “you will be going to the morgue,” police said.

He kept his word and now they are dead.

Either that or somebody used the wrong recipe to cook a batch of Gamer Rounds.

I have no comment on the skateboard tape.

It should be know by now and by all media types that Florida does not register guns nor requires a license to own them or to have them in a vehicle. I mean it is not a law passed yesterday or even last week. It has been in the frigging books for a couple of decades now. So when I see an article that says:

Reese ducked for cover behind another vehicle. Police said he crawled to his car, pulled out his licensed firearm and returned fire. “They shot at me first. I had my gun and I shot back,” he said.

Makes me wonder if they are ignorant, stupid or have a hidden agenda. Or maybe I am just getting grouchy with age.

And we now have the Hoplophobic Broad 20 questions Meme. I got this from The Ultimate Answer To Kings. Let’s be nice, answer her questions and post the link of your answers in her blog.

1. Do you believe that criminals and domestic abusers should be able to buy guns without background checks?

I thought it was forbidden! Are you telling me that all those laws in the books are failing miserably?

2. What is your proposal for keeping guns away from criminals, domestic abusers, terrorists and dangerously mentally ill people?

First, we locate them, then we make them wear special labels in their clothing so they are easy to identify. I would say a yellow star, pink triangle or something like that.

3. Do you believe that a background check infringes on your constitutional right to “keep and bear arms”?

Yes. What other Constitutional right do you know requires a background check to exercise?

4. Do you believe that I and people with whom I work intend to ban your guns?

Yes.

5. If yes to #4, how do you think that could happen ( I mean the physical action)?

Could happen? How about it happened already. Gun Grab in New Orleans after Katrina rings a bell?

6. What do you think are the “second amendment remedies” that the tea party GOP candidate for Senate in Nevada( Sharron Angle) has proposed?

No idea, I concentrate in Florida candidates.

7. Do you believe in the notion that if you don’t like what someone is doing or saying, second amendment remedies should be applied?

Do those remedies work as good as Advil?

8. Do you believe it is O.K. to call people with whom you disagree liars and demeaning names?

If they are lying, of course!

9. If yes to #8, would you do it in a public place to the person’s face?

Are they less of a liar in public?

10. Do you believe that any gun law will take away your constitutional rights?

Anybody asking this question makes me suspicious. What do you have in mind?

11. Do you believe in current gun laws? Do you think they are being enforced? If not, explain.

You keep saying “believe” as substitute for opinion. Why is that?

12. Do you believe that all law-abiding citizens are careful with their guns and would never shoot anybody?

Yes they are careful and I hope if they use their firearm against a criminal, they do it to defend innocent lives, yours included.

13. Do you believe that people who commit suicide with a gun should be included in the gun statistics?

No.

14. Do you believe that accidental gun deaths should “count” in the total numbers?

Yes.

15. Do you believe that sometimes guns, in careless use or an accident, can shoot a bullet without the owner or holder of the gun pulling the trigger?

Not since the 60’s. Firearm designs have come a long way in the last 50 years. And if you are trying to bring about the “Guns are unsafe, they should be tightly regulated” scheme, the State of California is not helping you much with their “Drop Test.” So far all the guns they have checked for “safety” have passed with flying colors.

16. Do you believe that 30,000 gun deaths a year is too many?

Including the suicides in the number, aren’t you? Sneaky…..

17. How will you help to prevent more shootings in this country?

By making sure criminals realize that violence begets violence.That means I will encourage people to defend themselves by any means including a firearm.

18. Do you believe the articles that I have posted about actual shootings or do you think I am making them up or that human interest stories about events that have happened should not count when I blog about gun injuries and deaths?

I don’t know, are you posting fake articles? If so, Why would you? If you believe in the righteousness of you cause, you shouldn’t be lying…. or changing the story to give it a specific connotation that favors your point of view.

19. There has been some discussion of the role of the ATF here. Do you believe the ATF wants your guns and wants to harass you personally? If so, provide examples ( some have written a few that need to be further examined).

Unfortunately the ATF is not only disliked by Law Abiding Gun Owners but by most other Federal Law Law Enforcement Agents. It needs to either be discarded and its function taken over by the FBI or disposed of altogether. You cannot have confidence in an agency that makes & changes rules as they please but actually were deluded enough to classify shoelaces, paper clips and crazy glue as parts to make a machine gun.

20. Will you continue a reasonable discussion towards an end that might lead somewhere or is this an exercise in futility?

The end is simple: Stop screwing around with the Constitution. No other right has been so assailed as the Second Amendment. The worst criminal out there is presumed innocent and will be given all the benefits of the law but a gun owner that defends his or her life is immediately branded as gunslinger or vigilante. Your people will literally shit in their pants if when going to a store, a full background check is demanded to buy a computer, a notebook or carded to see if is old enough to buy a pencil. And please do not say that a computer is less dangerous than a gun. Michael Isikoff in 2005 wrote an unsubstantiated report about guards at Guantanamo flushing the Koran down the toilet in front of the peace-loving-falsely-detained-imported inhabitants of the camp. After publishing the story, riots broke out in Pakistan and between 15 to 30 people died (Numbers vary according to sources) and yet nobody said anything bad about Newsweek or Isikoff. Other than Newsweek offering an “Ooops, My Bad!” apology no action was taken. Any other individual grabs a gun and kills 15 people would make the news and people like you would demand that he be sent to jail for the rest of his natural life. Mr. Isikoff however is walking free and nobody in your camp is even bothered by the fact.
