Gun Free Zone

Seen in The Daily Mail, because the British press is way better than ours.

Horrific moment a gang targeting drunk people for their cellphones viciously beats, stomps on and strips a man before hitting him with a potted plant and riding over him with a bicycle

What the actual fuck?

Holy shit that was brutal.

After going through his pockets, the perpetrators proceed to repeatedly punch the victim, kick him in the head and stomp on him.

While the man is lying supine on the ground, several of the assailants jump on him, and one of them body-slams the man.

The footage shows the attackers ripping the victim’s shoes and pants off, and trying to remove his boxer shorts.

The victim is seen in the video cowering and trying to protect his head with his hands from brutal blows raining down on him.

Towards the end of the footage, one of the most aggressive attackers, who is dressed in a light-blue shirt, hurls a potted plant at the victim, before another youth runs him over with a bicycle.

I am amazed that he survived.

I when that one punk jumped on his chest, I thought that would have broken ribs, collapsed a lung, maybe ruptured his spleen or liver.  That kind of thing kills people.

Some people have been arrested but not all of them.

So what are the lessons learned?

One: this guy was nose down in his cellphone while he was getting surrounded.  He wasn’t paying attention and allowed himself to get in the middle of a disaster.

Two: if you can carry, carry.  I don’t know if this guy was coming out of a place where he couldn’t carry, so I can’t entirely judge him on that.  But if you can’t carry, Lesson One applies double.  Don’t allow yourself to get into something dangerous if you are unable to defend yourself.

Three: if you can carry, make it the biggest gun with the highest capacity you can.  I have retired my snubby for a subcompact 45 with a 10 round mag.

Four: DO NOT LET YOURSELF GO DOWN.  If you end up on the ground, you are done.  Run, shoot your way out, stab a motherfucker in the eye with a pen if you have to, do not let yourself end up on the ground on your back.

Five: stay out of Ilhan Omar’s Congressional district.

As I demonstrated in my last post, Francis “Cultural Appropriation” O’Rourke has been running around the country telling everyone he is going to take away their guns.

He’s even selling fundraising shirts with that message.

That’s the part they are not supposed to say out loud.

“We’re going to take your guns” was what anti-gunners said that tinfoil hat-wearing gun-rights activists and the NRA said the Left says to scare them and drive membership.

All of a sudden, Beto has started using the exact language that anti-gunners said was paranoid NRA nonsense.

Now the Democrats are feeling the backlash.

His Holiness, St. Buttigieg of the Sacred Alternative Sexuality* says that Beto is playing right into Republican hands.

CNN’s Jake Tapper: "Beto O'Rourke raised some eyebrows by saying 'Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47' at the debate… Did Beto O'Rourke say something that's playing into the hands of Republicans?"

Delaware Senator Chris Coons said exactly what I said above about Beto proving that the NRA was not wrong.

Sen. @ChrisCoons on Beto O’Rourke’s “Hell yes” line about taking away semi-automatic guns: “I frankly think that that clip will be played for years at second amendment rallies with organizations that try to scare people by saying Democrats are coming for your guns.” pic.twitter.com/YRNZctMx8a

Bernie has also jumped into the “we’re going to take your guns” pool.

So now the question is will the rest of the Democrats running for President back away from Beto’s message or will they go full steam ahead into confiscation to appeal to the radical squeaky wheel of the party.

However, seeing some Democrats realize that this radical anti-gun message is not a winner with middle America is fun to watch.

*P.S. I want to make this clear.  That’s not an anti-gay dig, that is an anti-Buttigieg dig.  He is an insufferable prick.  I have never seen a politician act so holier-than-thou.  He’s the worst combination of SJW and Televangelist charlatan.  He will tell you that he knows that God is angry at you for your carbon footprint but partial-birth abortion is fine because life begins with the first breath since that’s in the Bible.  While at the same time he’s the victim because Pence hates him for being gay and that makes Pence a bad Christian for denying God because God made Buttigieg gay.

Francis “Cultural Appropriation” O’Rourke said on Joy Reid’s show that if he passed mandatory buybacks, Americans would turn in their guns because America is a nation of laws.

Beto again says he believes gun owners will turn in AR-15s if they became illegal and cops won't go door-to-door: "So I believe that America will comply with the law…we expect people to follow the law and that’s certainly what I believe will happen."https://t.co/UWiSl08KL5 pic.twitter.com/3iI3NomxwN

While it is true that we are a nation of laws, that only goes so far.

If the law says Jews have to relocate to camps, fuck you, I’m not obeying the law.  I’ve seen that movie, I know how it ends.

Americans are citizens, not subjects, and we will obey the law in so far as the law is reasonable.

You want a perfect example of that, look at income tax compliance.  When income taxes are low, people pay their taxes.  When taxes go up, rich people cheat on their taxes.  Above a certain tax value, it’s more worth it to cheat and pay the fine if you get caught than it is to pay the full amount.

Cigarettes in New York are exactly the same way.  At more than $20 a pack, people drive to Indian Reservations in neighboring states or go to Virginia and buy some cases and illegally sell loosies for a profit because casual smokers don’t want to pay $15 in taxes.  You don’t see loosies sold in states where a pack of cigarettes is $5.

Did Beto really forget about the history of Prohibition?  People still drank, they just did it illegally.

Extreme and unjust laws do not ensure voluntary compliance.

So Julio Rosas conducted a poll based upon the Beto clip.

If AR-15s became illegal, would you turn them in?

That’s about what I expected.

Now, I for one don’t own a boat, but when Hurricane Dorian flooded Alabama, all my guns were washed away.  The ATF has to believe me, Trump said it would happen.

Smashed two fingers already, and found out that a week’s worth of research was done under the wrong parameters so all that goes to the waste basket icon and must start again.

I would like you to go visit Sean’s Blog and degust with merriment this great post: This is what winning looks like  as it touches on an old position of mine and it is now being used to screw with the Democrats.

One of the things Scott Adams says in his podcast is how the moments right before winning looks a lot like the moments right before losing. Let me explain how gun owners can seriously win on gun control while looking at all times like we gun owners are losing…

Privately, the White House has floated at least one particularly unorthodox idea: an app connected to the National Instant Criminal Background Checks system that could be used to conduct background checks on private gun sales, according to three senators and other officials familiar with the proposal who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the proposals have not been finalized. 

Now the gut reaction of most gun owners who are politically active will be “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!” But before you jump up on that table and do your best Patrick Henry impression, let me explain why this is a good idea.

My official position remains the same: Fill the UBC hole with citizen’s access to NICS.

Later…
 

Two safety officers went to the hospital Sunday with gunshot wounds after one accidentally fired a gun at the other at an event at the shooting range on Ferry Brook Road, Keene police said.
Officers responded to the range, run by the Cheshire County Shooting Sports Education Foundation, at about 11:40 a.m., according to Keene police Sgt. Collin L. Zamore.
One safety officer apparently attempted to give a demonstration using a dummy weapon, Zamore said, but grabbed a real firearm by mistake. The man fired the gun while his hand was in front of it, according to Zamore, and the bullet traveled through his hand and into the abdomen of a second safety officer.

Police: Two men injured in shooting accident at Keene range

I wanted to say there is no reason that, with the well established protocols we have for training, stuff like this should happen. The I am reminded that not everybody who has tagged himself as instructor actually understands that safety is first and unless you are actually shooting, there should be no ammunition in the immediate area  (I am all for a 20 yard radius buffer and more). If you need to show firearms manipulation, use a frigging Blue Gun or any inert firearm replica in the available colors.

No excuse can be accepted.

Hat Tip Christopher J.

Seventy five rounds and bare knuckled. That was some tough hombre and the opponent was no slouch himself.

Ian Gillan, Rick Wakeman & Steve Howe – Light My Fire

I am not one to accept versions of a song I like deeply, but I cannot fault this son at all, specially Wakeman’s solo. An it is Ian frigging Gillan in the vocals, what else do you want?
