Around 6:30 p.m. Monday, Phil Reagan says he came home to discover two strangers inside his house. He says they were stealing his guns, and then they used those weapons to try to shoot him.

“I was only able to fire off one round and then they opened up on me, both of them, with pistols from their car,” Reagan said.

Reagan says he didn’t shy away when he returned home to find his back door bashed in and thieves stealing his things.

“Well, I shot at them. I told them to drop the guns and then I shot at their car, but neither one of them were in it yet and then my gun jammed.” he said.

When Reagan’s gun jammed, the thieves took their chance to fire back. Reagan says they fired about a dozen bullets at him. He took cover in his truck, where evidence is apparent.

But wait, that is not all:

He says this isn’t the first time he’s been robbed, someone stole guns from his home back in April, too.

“I was broke into while I was in the hospital for 31 days for my leg,” Reagan said.

Reagan says he’s an avid shooter. He thinks he may have been targeted because people know he has guns.

The prior incident is what the experts call “A frigging clue.”

So let’s summarize:  His house was broken into on a previous occasion when guns were stolen. He probably got more guns instead of buying something to keep them secured while he was out. He arrived home, saw that his house was broken into again, did not call the cops, gave the burglars a warning, his firearm malfunctioned, did not manage to clear the malfunction (so much for the “avid shooter part) and almost got hit by return fire?  He is alive indeed by sheer divine intervention.

Now, did he get the hint and plans to purchase a gun safe? Apparently  not:

While the robbers may have stolen some of his weapons, he says he’ll get more, and invites the thieves back anytime.

“I want them to come back. I’ll be better prepared for them next time,” Reagan said

You can’t fix stupid.

Ten years for corruption. It could not happen to a nicer Mayor Against Illegal Guns. Let’s call it Katrina Karma for all the guns that were confiscated under his watch from those trying to survive the disaster of a city not prepared to deal with SHTF.

And those of you who have not done so, get a copy of The Great New Orleans Gun Grab by Gordon Hutchinson. I recommend the paper version of the book to slap the crap out of anybody who dares to say “There are no gun confiscations in this country” as it last longer than the Kindle reader and it is cheaper to replace.

 “If the mayor’s not going to provide security, then my recommendation, as an experienced law enforcement officer for nearly 40 years, is either buy yourself an attack dog, put bars on your windows and doors and get yourself some firearms because you’re going to have to protect yourselves. We won’t be able to.”
John Rivera, president of the Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association.

Or simply place some Gun Free Zone signs around your property, that should work. Anyway, it is not like we are unaware that police has no duty to protect, but these budget fights do give criminals the idea that they may act with impunity, a dangerous proposition.

At least they are smart enough not to raise property taxes. Last guy who tried that got referendum-ed out of office.

Now let’s imagine is election day and we are to treating voting rights the same way guns are treated.

1. You arrive at the polling site with cash/credit or debit card ready as you have to buy the actual voting form or use the voting machine.
2. You have to fill a form prior to vote for a background check. If you lie in that form or make a mistake, you are subject to 10 years and/or $250,000 in fines.
3. The Poll Officer calls the FBI and proceeds to perform a background check. You can be Approved, Delayed (which means you may have to come days later depending on the state) or Denied. If you are Denied, you can appeal via mail by sending another form and a fingerprint card. The reversal can take up to three months.
4. If approved, you can now purchase the voting form or access to the voting machine, but depending on your state, your are limited to a certain number of voting options. Only certain approved government officials can vote on all the items available to vote. Some states have further restrictions and may not allow you to vote for the candidate or item you wish to vote.
5. Mail-In voting is strictly forbidden.
6. If you help somebody vote, you are engaged in Straw Voting, penalized with 5 years in Federal prison.
7. When casting your vote, you must announce loudly how you vote. If you want to vote in silence and privacy, you must previously acquire a special tax stamp of $200 by filling a form, shelling the money, sending a fingerprint card to the federal authorities where another background check must occur and wait from 3 to 12 months (depending where you live) for the stamp to be approved
8. At the next election, you must repeat the above steps all over again.

If LibProgs literally anally expel brick-works for demanding that people have ONE valid ID to vote, can you imagine the general apoplexy that would occur in every single ACLU and NAACP office across the nation if they were forced to vote this way?

Four year old calls 911 for math homework.

And now that was good community service 🙂

MANATEE — A gunowners group might not be the first place a gunshot victim looks for help, but that’s the community that reached out to help 5-year-old Davien Martinez.

Davien was shot in the head July 27, 2013, while lying in bed with his mother. He escaped death but suffered damage to his brain. The drive-by shooting near his home left the then 4-year-old blind in one eye, and his mother, Diane Lopez, said he now has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an impulse disorder, ADHD and anxiety as a result of the shooting.

To help with those issues, Lopez wants to get her son a service dog that she hopes will be therapeutic. But such a dog will cost about $11,000 and Lopez said she can’t afford that on her own.

For the newspaper it seems like a weird thing, but we know  we have done our share to support cases like this. It is common for clubs to have matches and raise funds for our favorite local charities but they don’t get publicized because it defies the Narrative.

But at the end of the day, we don’t do it for the limelight but for those who need it. We don’t flash or look to look good for the Six O’Clock news. We do it because it is right. The Tampa Bay Gun Runners have taken the initiative to help this kid and it is up to us, shooters of Florida and everywhere to back them up.

So I ask you to go to Davien’s GoFundMe page and invest one or better yet, the price of several boxes of ammo to get a boy a dog that he needs. Anything you can give helps.

The opposition claims to have the heart, we know they don’t.  We do, let’s get this done.

Thanks to D.J.  for the info.

The national Brady Campaign spokeswoman confirmed the figure. “It is correct to say that 8 children and teens die from gun violence every day,” Fuson said in an email. “It is also correct to say that 9 children and teens are shot unintentionally.”

We checked the nonfatal number as well and found that 8.86 children are unintentionally shot each day and survive, according to the CDC’s nonfatal injuries database.

But those two numbers — eight gun-related deaths and nine injuries per day — do not show the whole picture.

PolitiFact Oregon obtained a breakdown by age from the CDC’s online database and found that about half of all youth gun deaths — 7,223 of 14,258 — are 18- and 19-year-olds. The same goes for unintentional injuries, roughly 46 percent of which — 7,479 of 16,172 — are 18- and 19-year-olds.
Remove those two years from the calculation, and there are an average of 4.76 unintentional injuries each day and 3.85 deaths.

That is significant given the use of the word “children” in the Brady Campaign’s display, along with a chalkboard and shoes suited to children younger than 12. In addition, people 18 and older are legally considered adults. They are allowed to buy guns and ammunition without parental consent, and are solely responsible for crimes they commit using those weapons.

We asked Fuson, the Brady Campaign spokeswoman, to find out why the campaign includes 18- and 19-year-olds in its calculation. In an email, she said the campaign used the CDC’s own metrics for measuring unintentional injuries. She pointed us to a report published by the center examining childhood injuries from 2000-06.

“why the campaign includes 18 and 19-year-old in its calculation. In an email, she said the campaign used the CDC’s own metrics for measuring unintentional injuries.”

And maybe because it sells better to give such huge numbers accompanied by images of small kids than images of Late Teen gang-bangers? It is the usual: If they ever tell the truth they know they will lose so lies must be told and repeated.

I found funny that PolitiFact Oregon was the organization doing the checking. I will speculate wildly that God believes in balancing stuff out and got tired of our old friend Jason Kilgore (A.K.A. Baldr Odinson) spreading B.S. spreading BS all over the Beaver State.
