Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
A police officer looks for evidence next to a Philadlephia CeaseFire poster while others work at the scene of a shooting late Friday night in the Brewerytown section of the city. Photographs for the Gun Crisis Reporting Project by Joseph Kaczmarek.
I guess they can add the poster to the Mythical Failure Menu Of Things That Do Not Work to Control Criminals.
Thirdpower listened to Dick Metcalf’s interview on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk.
But the stupid continues:
“I do not believe,” he said, “I cannot personally or philosophically believe that refusing or forbidding discussion of significant issues of any kind because of fear that somebody else might take advantage of it or hold it up as a matter of political weakness should ever close peoples’ minds or close the door to reasoned discourse.”
Where the F*** has this guy been for the last 5 years? He had to actually utter one of the mantras of the new generation of Gun Grabbers? It is not that he suddenly became (or secretly he was one) a flunkie for the Gun Control groups or has been schtupping Japete on the side, I think he has been isolated from the rest of the world, tinkering with the guns that would appear in the catalog…er… Guns and Ammo and was oblivious what we have been facing pertaining gun rights.
I think we have found the Joe Biden of the Gun Culture.

I have to go with one I already posted. Originally from Tam at View From The Porch:

So Teenager Kid takes Dads truck without permission. Dad calls cops and reports truck stole to “teach the kid a lesson.” Cops find the truck, light it up and Kid decides to play Grand Theft Auto in real life by ramming Police Cars, speed away and then ram some more police cars. Non-Hilarious end ensues when cops shoot the kid.
The Stupid most definitely hurt this time going all the way to Darwin Scale.
So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover, keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery.
This baby’s pulse is pumping 6.2L liters of uncensored raw Diesel fuel through her V8 nuclear power plant. And rest assured this automatic transmission can handle it. . .

So who are the speakers for this healthy exchange of ideas…. this “conversation about guns”? First not a single gun expert or even recently-graduated NRA Instructor will be there to talk. As for the rest:
STEPHANIE D. DAVIS, Safety Advocate, National Transportation Safety Board.
DR. STANTON GLANTZ, PhD, UCSF American Legacy Foundation Distinguished Professor of Tobacco Control.
MATT LEWIS, Vice President & Director, Communications at Next Generation.
ROBYN THOMAS, Executive Director, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
MODERATED BY:
MARK FOLLMAN, Senior Editor and Award-Winning Journalist, Mother Jones.
What we have here is a bunch of folks not really interested on “gun safety” or reducing the infamous “Gun Violence” but people who are involved in public perception and manipulation, strategic communication some call it.
Seat belts, smoking and Global warming are and remain heavily influential campaigns aimed at social & behavioral changes on regular people. Again, these are not experts on gun safety or know how to reduce crime, they are PR Hacks and Gun Control activists coming together to possibly create a way to influence people on the evils of guns. Does it sound familiar?
And remember, in politics there is no such thing as truth in advertising.
