Nancy Pelosi said that this moment in history would make our founding fathers proud… Bitch, George Washington would run you through with his sword.

Preach it Brother Larry! Time to go to the mattresses.

I have little respect for the traditional printed media since they are mostly prostituted pamphlets with a severe allergy for the truth so it is unusual for me to sit down and waste time with a local newspaper. I canceled my subscription to the Miami Herald a long while ago and I read the Sun Sentinel if there is a copy that somebody left somewhere and forgot to take home to use for the parakeets’ crap catcher.

On March 12 I was given a free copy of that day’s Sun Sentinel and I read a column by Stephen L. Goldstein titled “Racial bigotry blocks health care reform.” In this column Mr. Goldstein quotes the Southern Poverty Law Center:

“Since the installation of Barack Obama, right-wing extremists have murdered six law enforcement officers.

I was floored when I read this. How come never heard of this before? Is there a conspiracy of Militias roaming around our country targeting Police Officers? The quote evokes of muscle-bound Southern White boys chugging beers driving in a beat up van searching for that evil black cop to take down and show them nigger in the White House who is Da Boss.

Then I remembered we are dealing with both a newspaper and the “impartial” boys and girls of the Southern Poverty Law Center and I decided to do some research. I used NJLawman.com which lists the LEO deaths for this and last year with a description of the events. Then used Google to look for more details on the murderers themselves, photos and their affiliations. I must confess I had to do some racial profiling, I excluded anybody who was not white in my amateurish investigation, I hope I do not offend anybody with this revelation… OK truly i don’t care who I offend.

The first case was of three officers murdered by 22-year-old Richard Poplawski.  He is/was a Pittsburgh resident who lived with his mommy and granny and by all indications was nothing more than a Net Racist. His “militancy” was basically posting in racist websites like Stormfront but that was about it. He was a stalker,  woman beater and was kicked out of the Marines for discipline problems. A nutjob that found a niche for his scrambled brains among others like him in the net. The night of the killings, Officers Paul Sciullo, Eric Kelly and Stephen Mayhle responded to a domestic disturbance call at the Poplawski residence and on arrival Mr. Poplawski’s mommy told officers he wanted him out of the house. Poplawski opened fire on the officers and killed them plus wounded 2 more officers.  He was shot in the leg and surrendered. Two of the officers killed were white, one black so I am guessing Poplawski was not too choosy about race after all.

Next I found Joshua Cartwright who murdered Deputy Burt Lopez and Deputy Skip York from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Florida in a Domestic Abuse call and outside a gun range. Mr. Cartwright is the perfect liberal idea of Right Wing Militia: White, Military (National Guard), owned guns and according to the girlfriend, he was upset that President Obama was elected. I do pity the Secret Service, I can’t imagine what is to do background checks on all the white kids that own guns and serve in our military. By the way, Deputy Burt Lopez and Deputy Skip York were also white.

After reading about these five officers down, I suspended the search. There is no obvious racist conspiracy of Hate Groups against cops. Four out of the five officers killed in the two incidents I checked were white so there is no racial overtones as Mr. Goldstein and Southern Poverty Law Center try to push.  Now if I were a nasty idiot who liked to use the race card to defend the indefensible, I would point out to both Mr. Goldstein and Southern Poverty Law Center that the number one race killing police officers since President Obama was inaugurated is African American.  But the truth is that the number one murderer of Law Enforcement Officers in our country are scumbags of the criminal type which are somewhat related to the scumbags of the political type like Mr. Goldstein and Southern Poverty Law Center.

PS: If you see fit and can afford, donate to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund or any other related organization of your liking. I know times are tough so if a small donation is not possible, do say a prayer for the safety of our brave officers battling Bad Guys day and night, for the souls of those fallen in the line of duty and for the families of both.

Don’t ask me how, but I always manage to congeal all my subscriptions and memberships to die at the same darn time. So I just finished renewing NRA, IDPA and SWAT Magazine plus I have to send my contribution to Gun Rights Radio Network but I screwed around enough and just now opened an account with GunPal which is the Gun version of PayPal. Let me rephrase that so there is no confusion: GunPal has nothing to do with the schmucks at EBay/PayPal. GunPal covers the huge hole left by the PC morons at EBay/PayPal who develop a sudden rash of morality and cancel transactions and accounts if they are gun related somehow. GunPal was created by Gun People for Gun people so a wee bit support is suggested. We should support our guys, right?

So back to the original thought, Have you renewed your memberships & subscriptions?  Git to it! Do not procrastinate! I do that enough 😉

And do join GunPal…. please?

We are not talking about a simple (or complicated) political or social misunderstanding here. It is not a difference of opinion on a dark point of the law. The battle for the Second Amendment is about some things tangible and some that are not. It is the respect of freedom and the respect for life. Brady and its bunch were not disagreeing about possibly raising taxes to pay for a new highway project or if a contract is enforceable or not. They were directly subverting my right to defend myself. They were making an overt attempt against my life and the life of my loved ones. There is no difference that they used the law or a gun, the end result was to disarm me and leave me ready to be attacked by the wolves and that I do not take kindly.

McDonald is not just a “case” or an argument or a amicus curiae. Mr. McDonald is a human being which was denied the tools for defensing himself in a violent neighborhood. He is fearful and living a cloistered life because some politicos decided that he had no right to own a handgun. These politicos do not live in the same neighborhood as Mr McDonald and if they leave their mansions, they do so with privileges and bodyguards not available to the rest of the citizens in the community they reign. These politicos are First Among Equals, the Pigs More Equal than Others. A Ruling Class and Royalty in our country exacting power on the rest of us.

Now stop for a second and think of the innocents murdered in Chicago through the years. Think of those that might had an opportunity if they were allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights but could not because a local government said they are not worthy. Doesn’t that churn your guts? Are you so intellectually removed from the everyday mud it does not affect you? It does to me and it does to a lot of people.

So when you say “that it’s not too much to ask to be civil to our opponents in this debate” I and many others cringe. It would be like sitting down with Lavrentiy Beria and debate about how naughty he was doing all those things inside Lefortovo prison.  Or akin to sharing a hot chocolate and a spirited discussion with Che Guevara about his “pedagogy of the paredon ” (wall where you place those about to be executed by firing squad) to teach the lessons of the Cuban Revolution.  Make no mistake: Brady and Hamm did not pull a trigger or stabbed anyone, but they did and still cooperate with the killing of many.

You have friends and family that are anti-gun? So do I and so do many in our cause. Some were anti-gun but changed their views. Some refuse to own a gun, but do not make any attempts to curtail our rights. The very few that were active against my rights are no longer part of my world and know damn well what I think of them.

We never wanted to impose anything. We simply demanded our rights and never tried to exact our views on anybody. We wanted the choice to defend ourselves, a choice to live and it was denied. Brady and the like did their best to stop those rights, caused death and they are responsible for it. After much fighting, we are turning that idiocy little by little and I really don’t feel like being civil/appeasing/compromising to enablers of murder.

I am glad that Mr. McDonald’s case will be resolved in the Supreme Court and in our favor. He needs a real chance and not a fake guarantee of safety where none exists.

It has been a couple of days after the McDonald case was presented to SCOTUS and almost 2 years since we won in DC v Heller.  According to experts, it seems that McDonald will also go our way.  And with the tons of new pro Second Amendment laws sweeping our country, we are finally seeing a reduction on the encroachment of our Gun Rights. Some in our side seem to think it is a good time to be magnanimous and be nice to the losing side. To play “gentlemanly” and have them over for Starbucks and sconces. I am NOT one of those, hell no.

First, if anybody thinks the likes of Sarah Brady and her minions are done, they are sorely misguided or are doing some sand mining face first. I am not inviting the snakes into my house when I know damn well I will get bitten. Yes, they will appear civilized too and sit to “discuss” in order to come up with “reasonable” ways were everybody is happy. We are civilized, right? We can compromise! That’s the American Way.

BULLSHIT. I want satisfaction.

I want satisfaction for every murder victim, every person wounded by violent crime, every rape victim, every relative of those victims that actually bought the myth that being disarmed was safer and paid dearly for that misguided belief with life or blood or tears.

I want satisfaction for every crime committed in a Gun Free Zone where a single armed citizen might have made a difference and saved lives but couldn’t because he or she was not allowed to have the tools for self defense.

I want satisfaction for every time I was compared with a terrorist, mass murderer and pedophile out there because I believe in the Second Amendment. For being told that having a pro-gun sticker in my vehicle was an invitation to be pulled over by the cops and treated like serial killer.

I want satisfaction for being processed like a criminal in order to buy and carry a handgun. To be treated like a second class citizen and be thought suspect because I did not want to depend on a call to 911 and the mercy of my attackers.

I want satisfaction for every citizen in New Orleans that was hunted, roughed up and disarmed under illegal orders and the whole situation applauded by the Anti Gunners as a “reasonable measure.”

I want satisfaction for every time an armed citizen could not access a public place because they practice Gun Apartheid with a Gun Free Zone sign and was forced to decide between becoming a victim or have to do without the good of service he needed.

I have more, but you get the idea. Anti Gunners offered a contract of perfect peace and harmony if people went their way. “No bad things will ever happen to you if you surrender to our cause” they said. They were fraudulent, immoral, criminal. Of course, no district or federal attorney will have the testicular fortitude to bring charges or no court will accept a trial for these crimes against our citizens and I can live with that. I’ll settle to see them become more and more irrelevant till they become the equivalent of the wino in a dark alley mumbling about UFOs, green unicorns and begging for a few cents to pay for the next quart of hooch. I don’t know but this sounds reasonable, Don’t you think?

H/T to Firing Pin Journal. You get to be the nice guy, I get to be the bad guy while agreeing on the subject 😉
