I have two of those a**holes running amok in my backyard. I really can’t afford a silencer or deal with the federal aggravation, but I don’t think plain CB caps out of the .22 pistol will be enough.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — The surge of criminal background checks required of new gun purchasers has been so unrelenting in recent months that the FBI had been forced to temporarily halt the processing of thousands of appeals from prospective buyers whose firearm purchase attempts have been denied.

FBI official: ‘Perfect storm’ imperiling gun background checks

A queue of 13,000 cases in the penalty box is not a booboo,  it is a f*** up.  I have been denied and it took three months to clear for an already paid gun when there was no real reason for the denial. I made the mistake of buying a gun during the Holidays and I guess it was easier to deny me than actually get some work done… must be my inclusion (I am guessing) in the No Fly List/ CSGV Inurrectionist Hit List.

And yes, the extra help is nice, but do you know what else would help enormously?

No Background Checks for those individuals with a Concealed Weapons Permit. 

We have been already went through a BG Check, we have been fingerprinted and photographed and in a data base…what the hell else do you frigging need? Go to the store, select gun, fill ATF 4473, present DL and CWP, grab gun and go to the range to shoot it.

Of course the idea will give conniptions to the Opposition. Every time I bring out this solution when discussing Universal Background checks, you can literally see Antis fill their Depends in abject fear.

“But…but.. we need background checks!”
“I already had one done and carry the proof with me. How many more do you need? How many times do I need to prove I am law abiding and better behaved that the stupid Bloomberg Mayors?”
“But…but.. we need background checks! Moar background checks… so no!”

Yeah, I am not waiting for that to go Federal Level. Few things that make sense ever go that way. But we have free health care!

Via The Gun Writer, we find out that the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee has already killed the hearing for Campus Carry and it is planning to screw with the Open Carry bill by pushing the Florida Sheriff’s version of “We may or may not arrest you and prosecute you if you accidentally display your firearm.” And no, I do not buy what they propose as truthful and with a kind heart since a version is already in the books and they have been ignoring it and that is the reason OC has been pushed. 

I think it is time the Republican Party of Florida finds out we are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior from his elected morons. The only reason the State remains purple is because Gun Owners vote Republican en masse but that comes with the price of restoring the gun laws bungled so many years ago.

If we are going to have RINOS screwing the works and behave like Democrats, we might as well vote in the next election for the Democrat challenger that will run against Diaz de la Portilla. If we are gonna have Democrat seated in the State Senate, might as well be one that is properly labelled as one.

Or they can give him a call and tell him “Hey, Miguelito. Stop being a Bloomberg asshole and let the bills get to the floor.”

What? You don’t suspect the hairy hand of Michael Bloomberg behind this stunt? I certainly do. The guy is from Miami where cash is king. Either that or the Sheriff’s Association has pictures of him dressed as Paris Hilton and being unnaturally friendly to chihuahuas.

I’ll be brief and to the point which means I’ll just post what Tom sent me without his comments…hehehe.

First: The Most Talked About Thing in the SHOT show this year by the non-cognoscenti was …(drum roll) nope, not the Kimber Revolver but the EAA Booth Babe:

From what I heard and read in the Book of Faces, there are certain redheaded female instructors that had put a bounty on the poor woman…Just kidding… I hope.

Also, the Cuban BBQ Gun has been found and even Dennis B. from Dragon Leatherworks has promised to create a proper holster with rhinestones and everything:

Kidding aside, Tom has done his work for his side of the gun thing but also has been kind enough to look on my request for the ultimate Truck Gun. Being himself a joker, he sent me this from Range day:

Not quite what I wanted, but I will most definitely take it.

And again, Tom is a pro, this is how you do SHOT show:

I’ll be back tomorrow with part 2 and some other backlogged stuff.

Well, it seems that the torture is over. Nobody had this much trouble migrating since Moses took the Jews out of Egypt.

I am so behind it is not even funny. And I still have to figure out how to work out the 404 page with either a redirect or a search because any links you may have saved, no longer apply. That one is all my bad.

See you guys and gals in a bit. I have to check up several things.

I also need to share my thoughts on the top SHOT Show item: 5.11 Yoga Pants.

I can say that I am as surprised as you are for lasting this long. I January 10th, 2008 I penned We are the New Negroes and started to share my views (right and wrong) with the world. I came close to call it quits eight months later when I thought I lost all my initial work to a crappy WordPress update and had to start from zero. Luckily I managed to find copies of most of the posts and posted them again.

I guess the reason I have lasted this long is because I accepted and lived under the first principle of Blogging: You blog for yourself and nobody else. I write about what I want, when I want it and avoid being a crowd pleaser. OK, so sometimes I throw the obligatory post under the cannons of Rule 5, sue me.

So thank you for dropping by and reading my blog, hoist a cold one in my name today and have a piece of cake to celebrate.

2014: Detroit Police Chief Urges Citizens to Arm Themselves. 

2015: Detroit Homicide and Violent Crime Rates Drop.

Do not expect the national media to cover this pair of stories much. It kind of shattersthe leftist narrative that armed citizens will lead to gunfights over parking spaces and mishandled coffee orders.

And once again, what’s The Narrative?

You do not fight the narrative. The narrative will destroy you. The narrative is all-powerful. The narrative rules. It rules us, it rules Washington, it rules everything.
—
The narrative is the set of assumptions the press believes in, possibly without even knowing that it believes in them. It’s so powerful because it’s unconscious. It’s not like they get together every morning and decide “These are the lies we will tell today.” No, that would be too crude and honest. Rather, it’s a set of casual, nonrigorous assumptions about a reality they’ve never really experienced that’s arranged in such a way as to reinforce their best and most ideal presumptions about themselves and their importance to the system and the way they’ve chosen to live their lives. It’s a way of arranging things a certain way that they all believe in without ever really addressing carefully. It permeates their whole culture. They know, for example, that Bush is a moron and Obama is a saint. They know communism was a phony threat cooked up by right-wing cranks as a way to leverage power to the executive. They know that Saddam didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, the response to Katrina was fucked up…. Cheney’s a devil. Biden’s a genius. Soft power good, hard power bad. Forgiveness excellent, punishment counterproductive, capital punishment a sin.
—
And the narrative is the bedrock of their culture, the keystone of their faith, the altar of their church. They don’t even know they’re true believers, because in theory they despise the true believer in anything. But they will absolutely de-frackin’-stroy anybody who makes them question that….
