General Lee AR-15. You can hear Liberals’ scream of anguish across the nation.

Hat Tip Joe Ch.

The first gold medal of the Olympics is in and went to American shooter Virginia Trasher for air rifle, 10 meters. Only one major media location makes a clear and big announcement.

CNN Mentions the medal but not for what. Obama, of course, takes top billing.

Fox and MSNBC? Medal? What Medal?

smh

I figure that it’s only a matter of time before some ISIS kook manages to get into a gun-free victim zone like DisneyWorld and amass a substantial body count due to a lack of shooting back thanks to the disarmament policies of The Mouse.

And after the screwed up response by the Orlando PD with the Pulse shooting, I would not be surprised that it will happen at any time. The impression given was of Tactical Keystone Cops and that is not very intimidating.

So what is the response from the Chief? To go in a junket to the Middle east:

Now Orlando Police Chief Mina is joining a delegation of police chiefs headed to Israel to learn from Israeli counter-terrorism experts, but still can’t seem to grasp how poor Orlando’s leadership was in response to this attack.In one breath, Mina notes that the Israelis—like law enforcement agencies around the world, including many in the United States, have a pretty good idea on how to handle Orlando-type attacks.

I know the Israelis are good at counter-terrorism, but he did  not need to go far. If there is anything in Florida is premier schools all over the place that can teach the local cops how to respond to Active Shooter situations. In fact there is one not even 20 miles west where the top firearm instructors regularly teach from the basics to serious ninja shit.  And they can probably get some classes up for cops next week, not sometime in the future.

But looking cool is more important than actually doing the right thing.

The shooting and death of Paul O’Neal, a teenager in Chicago is under investigation. The final shot that took his life is being questioned as it is being said he was unarmed when he was stopped in the backyard of a home.
O’Neal had stolen a car and used it to ram patrol cars and almost running over CPD officers (click here for the video) so what it floored me was the following information in the article:

The city’s use-of-force policy explicitly bars police from firing at a moving vehicle if it represents the only threat against officers.

I beg your pardon? It is the policy of the Chicago Police Department to allow criminals to run over officers? You would think it is a joke, right? Nope:

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson took quick action after the shooting, stripping three officers who opened fire at O’Neal of their police powers and saying it appeared they had violated departmental policies.

And much as in Baltimore, I expect they will be served in a platter to calm the masses. From what I can read in the article, it was just one officer who did the final shooting with nobody else around. But as usual, we will need to wait for more information to filter out.

But it is clear that O’Neal used the stolen Jaguar as a weapon against officers and that they cannot defend themselves or stop a continuing threat to others is rank politically correct stupidity.

And deadly.

I stole them from Dale G. so hat tip to him.

Hell, I’d move to California long enough to vote. Notice that the do not say secession but “divorce” and I wonder if they think they are going to get some sort of alimony from the rest of the Union. They would be so disappointed when the rest of the States go F and U.  A thing to consider would be that the Texans would be less prone to secede if they are allowed to shoot illegal aliens from California. I figure part of the tax savings from not having a bunch of weirdos dictate commerce can be used to give federal grants to Lone Star citizens to enforce border security.

But knowing Texans, they would put a load of birdshot in the asses of Californians for free.

Anyway, if you live in the Golden State and want to add your name, go to YesCalifornia. Make sure you emigrate to Free America before the ax falls.

And do not Californicate in your new state.  You can be subjected to extradition.

Everytown and MDA have posted the same quote by an ISIS fighter on their respective Facebook pages.

ISIS scored victories against the United States and the West with the Pulse night club shooting.  Before ISIS congealed from the more nebulous body of Radical Islam, Islamism was the cause of the San Bernardino shooting, Ft. Hood shooting, and National Guard Recruiting Office Shooting, and others.

In each of these cases, the terrorist was able to legally buy a gun because they passed background checks.  We know that universal background checks won’t stop a law abiding radicalized citizen from buying a gun.  Everytown and MDA had caught on to this.  Now they are using ISIS’s words to scare us into gun restrictions.  Note how there is no call for background checks in their posts.

Using a quote by a terrorist to make us restrict our Civil Liberties seems like… helping the terrorist win.  Isn’t the purpose of terrorism to scare us into abandoning our freedoms and way of life?

Since Everytown and MDA are calling for a restriction of Constitutional liberties in the face of ISIS recruitment, may I make some other suggestions.

We know that ISIS uses social media as a recruiting tool.  There was no Facebook or Twitter when the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment, lets shut those down.

Speaking of the First Amendment, we know that some Muslim scholars don’t like to play well with the West.  Let’s put FBI agents in Mosques to monitor what the Imams say and do.

If the issue of domestic terrorism gets really bad, Korematsu v. United States made it clear that it wasn’t a violation of the Constitution to inter Americans during a time of war under strict scrutiny.

I mean, if we’re going to violate people’s rights to keep us safe from ISIS, we KNOW what the profile is of people that join ISIS: Muslim men, age 16-45.  That is a lot smaller a group to deal with than the 150 Million plus law abiding US gun owners.

Then again, I guess that won’t fly with the people over at Everytown and MDA.  What we saw after the Pulse shooting and then again at the DNC and BLM (which totally supports Palestinian Solitary but has no problem shutting down Gay Pride)  is that gays are no longer the most protected class in Liberal America.  We also know that Liberal Democrats have embraced antisemitism as a party platform.  American Muslims and Muslim refugees are far higher up on the Oppression Olympics board than white gay man and Jews.  Even as Liberals complain about rape culture on college campuses, they want to bring in tens of thousands of Muslim Refugees, who we know are causing the rape crisis in Europe.

Maybe what we need to do is outlaw homosexuality, get rid of the Jews, and force women to cover up.  That way our way of life won’t offend the delicate sensibilities of ISIS and they will stop attacking us.  Why not have Obama just do one final Lame Duck executive order and declare the US an Islamic Nation.  Sure, that may be a violation of the First Amendment’s prohibition of the establishment of a religion (to be fair to Obama the 1A says “Congress shall not” which leaves the door open for the President to do so – I think Justice Roberts would agree with me on that), but it would really take the wind out of ISIS’s sails.

If we have to break a few eggs to make a safe omelet, at least break the ones that count.

OR

Maybe we don’t let ISIS dictate American civil liberties.
