Please try and repeal the Protection of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. I dare you. I double dog dare you. I had my identity stolen a few years ago. At least one person opened up several credit cards in my name. My tax return was collected by a different person twice. My credit still hasn’t recovered which has caused me lasting problems in my ability to get a mortgage.
So please change the law. I will raise an army of lawyers on the promise of contingency fees to sack the credit card companies, computer manufacturers, internet service providers, and everybody else my lawyers can think of for negligent in a class action suit by the victims of identity theft, for not being able to foresee that their products would be used by criminals for illegal activity that has caused me lasting damage. People hate the credit card companies a lot more than they hate guns. Please allow me to drag the fat cat CEO of a credit card company before a jury. I will open the flood gates of litigation against your big bank donors. So please, please, establish that a company can be held liable for the illegal actions of its customers. I have a private island that I want to buy.
Therefore the NRA should take its rightful place on the State Department list of terrorist organizations, because its influence is more of an immediate threat to the lives of our citizens than foreign terrorists.
I caught the title and her name in somebody’s Facebook post yesterday. The writer of the piece is Linda Stasi which sent me into a full gale of laughter. How appropriate that somebody whose last name is also deeply associated to one of the most infamous internal security services during the Soviet era is demanding to make five million compatriots Enemies of the State.
Shield for East Germany’s Ministry for State Security ( Ministerium für Staatssicherheit) or Stasi.
I am no longer interested in debating jackasses, whores and liars. I am tired of people threatening the lives of my friends, my family and myself, as we saw on Twitter yesterday, hoping to chum up another psychopath. I am sick to death of having it explained to me as if I was a 3 year old that when a fanatic Islamist commits an atrocity it is critical — CRITICAL — that I understand that all Muslims can’t be held accountable. But that when a single maniac kills someone, EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN SHOOTER must pay the price. Enough.
And I have to add that I no longer consider that the idea that a certain group or trend of individuals on the Left are vying for some sort of general strife against Gun Owners, a tin hat expectation anymore.
Maybe they are reading the writing in the wall and figure that unless they do something to change the course of things, their ideas will go down the toilet. Gun Control groups re-brand themselves as “Gun Safety” groups and immediately go after any measure that would actually provide security. Think Tanks and Cognoscenti come up with studies indicating that we are in the most violent times we have ever lived, except that the statistics say otherwise, and in fact we are now living with a violent crime rate lower than when they started their great social experiment in the mid Sixties. We have a Mainstream Media that will purposely lie and alter audio, video and graphics so they can create “facts” to bolster the side off .
And we have the no-so-small fringe of truly fanatical Gun Control Advocates who have openly vowed to create false emergency calls so there is a deadly confrontation between police officers and gun owners. They are the same people you will find in social media allegedly preaching for peace but wishing death to gunnies and their families among wave after wave of the vilest insults you can propel against any human. Somehow the concept of advocating for less deaths by wishing wholesale massacre of fellow citizens being contradictory and inhuman does not seem to compute in their brains.
All of them are making a huge mistake: They are confusing our politeness and patience with weakness. And the few who do not, have the misconception that they will be spared of consequences. I just want to add that excuses like “I was following orders,” “I did not know what was going on” and “I had the best of intentions” died sometime in 1945.
As usual, I was going to plea for calmer mouths and cool thoughts for the Opposition. I don’t think that is no longer an option since they do not seem to want rational solutions. Whatever you wish for me and mine, we shall return to you tenfold.
There is a wee bit of a problem: Everytown and the rest of the Gun Control pundits are way short on US Citizens Worldwide deaths from Terrorism. How so? They forgot the US Servicemen and women that have fallen fighting the Terrorists, but I am not surprised because the left does hate the Military and consider them dumb. I checked a couple of sources in the interwebs and the result comes about 6,864 dead fighting the evil bastards that wants us dead.
Another thing, the fighting over the sandbox is not being done by adopting universal background checks, gun registration or posting Gun Free Zone signs (although I am sure that if they could blame the NRA without looking like bigger fools, they would do so). It is being done with people packing real assault guns shooting the living crap out of the bad guys.
Good guys responding with deadly force to bad guys doing bad stuff…. what a concept! Maybe we could apply it generously across our nation schools and other Gun Free Zones.
