In the style of late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence on Saturday released a video response to its most verbal critics on Twitter.

The YouTube video features members of CSGV in front of an pro-gun control banner reading several “mean tweets” to the camera and responding.

First I am pissed that Sean Sorrentino got mentioned three times and I not even in the credits. But I will survive….sniff.

I did find it funny that after all the crap they have spouted, they had to spend their meager budget on a little video trying tp play victim….we ain’t buying

But if you wanna see the true soul of the Opposition, go no further:

We do this social media/blog with a heavy dose of humor. We need it to counter the true venom coming from Those Who Know Better Than Us.

But as sure as hell I don’t trust them to do the right thing, the honorable thing or even the moral thing.

And that is why we carry and that is why we win.

HOUSTON — Just after closing around 2:30 Saturday morning, four armed men barged in at EJ’s Place demanding money.

Instead, a customer inside the bar, which is located on the 16500 block of Kuykendahl Road, pulled out his gun and started exchanging fire with the robbers. He shot and killed two of them while the other two ran. Once the heated exchange ended, the patron left, too.

Not a bad tale. Four guys with guns barging in a closing bar are not collecting for the Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s hospital and they were promptly frustrated by somebody who “always stays until closing to walk the female bartenders to their cars. The friend said the man would never start anything, but would always protect his friends. “

But there is a hitch to the story, a dose of Malum Prohibitum makes this case a twisted tale:

But a sign in the bar window clearly states it’s a felony to carry a gun inside. Under Texas law, even licensed carriers can’t have guns in bars. That could explain why the patron left.

And why suddenly everybody came down with a severe case of amnesia.

It is getting tiresome: Bad guys do not give two craps about the law and signage to do their deeds but good people must lay themselves open to crime because some legislative do-gooders  think they are stupid and cannot be trusted even when the evidence through decades now keep telling us the infamous shootouts that Concealed Carriers would start have never happened in jurisdictions where the laws are less idiotic.

So here it goes to Kemo Sabe: Get yourself a good lawyer because the angry mongrels will come nipping at hour heels soon enough.

And well done.

The problem is what to say after a self-defense incident. Andrew takes it to a step by step. This is not a quickie thing to listen at lunch break. Make a date out of it, sit down, listen and take notes. Review at least every six months.

I have been holding my keyboard back with the Ebola outbreak as not to fall with the ZOMG! crowd, but I think it is time to start raising the voice about WTF is going on here.  And yes, there is a game changer somewhere because the numbers are scaring the crap out of me.

My knowledge about Ebola still is cursory at best and only what I have read in techno-thrillers. My memory kept insisting that even at the old scares we had, the numbers of patients was rather low and the instances did not last long.  Just to be in the safe side, I did some research and found the CDC’s Outbreak Chronology of Ebola worldwide and I was correct.

Please pay attention to the numbers: Before this last outbreak, the record for the most cases in one year was Sudan 2000-2001 with 425 infections and 224 deaths. The outbreak with the most deaths was the first one on record: Zaire (1976) with 318 infections and 280 deaths. 

Now here come the real scary numbers; According to the CDC, there have been 34 outbreaks of Ebola since 1976 with only six having infections and deaths in three digit area and that in the low range.  The rest have been in the two and single digits!

This particular outbreak since March this year? 3,974 infected with 2,007 deaths as of today.  All other deaths by Ebola going back to 1976 total 1,498 and we blew past that mark long ago. What is special about this strain that is spreading so fast and so wide? If anything, we are better at containing  and treating the disease than in 1976 but this strain makes it look like we are in the 1600s medically wise.

About the only “good” thing is that either by design or treatment, this outbreak is not as deadly as some: instead of the all time high of 89%, we are having a 51% chance of death if infected. Then again you have a better chance of survival playing one round of Russian Roulette (12 16% aprox).

So, I am not liking this shit one little bit.

Now the NRA-ILA picked on the National Review Online thing of be being in cahoots with Moms Demand and CSGV.

However, such exceptions to the rule are not the subject of Charles C. W. Cooke’s disturbing article published on Thursday by The National Review.  As Cooke explained, Facebook and Twitter followers of the anti-gun organizations Moms Demand Action, the Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, and GunFreeZone.net are encouraging one another to call the police whenever they see someone carrying a gun in public.  Some of them recommend alleging that a crime is taking place and express their hope that the police will open fire on the unsuspecting gun owner once they arrive

Dear Mr. Owens, I am sorry but I am gonna have to demand reparations now. I figure a couple of hundred rounds of CCI Stingers or Mini-Mags will be enough payment for the pain and suffering.  I think of asking Mr. Cooke for one of those great Sherlock Holmes coffee cups you can buy at the store located in 221 Baker Street (IIRC he is in London) and from the NRA-ILA I have to get a new NRA cap as mine is just worn to hell.

Gentlemen, don’t make me pull out a lawyer! (Paging Robert The K.)
