Gun Free Zone

President Trump starts clogging the legislative pipes about Gun Control.

The Democrats giving up on Free Borders? It would be politically too costly. Of course, we need to make sure that the Republicans in the House and the Senate do not suffer from a sudden inset of weak spine and the law is so complicated and unconstitutional (Poison Pill), legislators will run away from it rather than have their name attached to a spanking from SCOTUS.

Add to that Mexico thinking they are in Europe and can sue the US for ” legal action against the United States for failing to protect its citizens.”  I don’t think that sat well on this side of the border, specially when you have about 1/3 of your country under the thumb of of Drug Cartels.

Maybe if they can get Judeg Judy…

Miguel wrote a good post Not Mentioning Mass Shooters: A bad political strategy.

I believe that deliberately avoiding the names of the shooters is pointless as long as the media spends days and weeks talking about the shooting afterward.  Everybody knows who did it, regardless of whether or not some talking head says his name.

Where I disagree with Miguel is on his point that not using the shooter’s name allows the radical gun haters to focus their energy elsewhere.

This is what the “Don’t Mention Names” creates. It deflects the blame to those who are blameless and makes the whole sad affair a political clown show.

To the people cursing and threatening Dana Loesch online, they couldn’t care less who the shooter was or the details of the failures that allowed him to do what he did.

These people hate gun owners.  They hate us with a fury of an erupting volcano.  They hate us because we are gun owners, not just gun owners, but we are part of gun culture.  This is an “other” culture to them.  One that they have been raised to hate, regardless of the evidence.

They don’t care that no mass shooting has been carried out by an NRA member.  Or that the NRA supports law enforcement.  Or that the Parkland shooting happened because the BSO was a bunch of fuck-ups from Sheriff Israel all the way down.

They hate gun owners who are part of gun culture and Dana Loesch is a figurehead for gun culture, that is all that matters.

For hundreds of years, it didn’t matter that the Jews never poisoned the wells.  It didn’t matter that some ignorant townsfolk dug his shiting hole too close to the town’s water supply and that’s why everyone was dying of diarrhea.  If you went back in time and explained to these people what cholera or typhus was, they wouldn’t care.  People were sick and that meant that the Jews on the other side of the town poisoned the well and now there was going to be a pogrom.

The level of ignorant scapegoating and hatred of the NRA and its members every time there is a mass shooting is the same and comes from the same place.

Hatred of the other culture.

I would even bet that if allowed, the Broward county jury in the future trial of Nikki Cruz would rather send Dana Loesch to get lethal injection and have the mass murderer go free.

This is spot on, because they only dislike Cruz for killing a bunch of kids they don’t know, but they HATE Dana Loesch for being a symbol of the gun culture they despise.

They will direct their hate at us and our spokespeople regardless of the publicity of the shooter’s name.

And take a guess what is happening to the supply?

Palmetto State Armory kits are flying out of the window. Friends have told me that other sellers are also experiencing a run for products.

Seriously, Gun Control Idjits are the #1 people responsible for the spread of those yucky Weapons of War.

Don’t forget to buy ammo!

Here is the video:

24 seconds from first shots fired to dropping the asshole. Good guys with guns doing what needed to be done once again.

Well done, Officers, very well done.

PS: Do follow Donut Operator. Former cop and does a great job deconstructing and explaining police videos, specially if they are controversial.  And he likes to blame who actually deserves it

In reading about the coverage of the El Paso and Dayton shootings over the weekend, something stuck out at me.

The El Paso shooter was caught on a security camera wearing proper eye and ear protection.

He was taken alive.

The Dayton shooter was also equipped with ear protection as well as body armor.

He was killed very quickly, in under two minutes, because the police were patrolling that area.  I think the Dayton shooter was caught off guard by how fast the police response was.

This is the first time that I can think of that mass shooters were wearing ear and eye pro.  In the past, these mass shooters followed the pattern of shooting until they were killed by police or were cornered by police, then they would take their own lives.

The use of ear and eye pro indicates a desire to survive the shooting.  Wearing body armor, even more so.

This is a break from the pattern of mass shooting behaviors we’ve traditionally seen.

The media has reported that the El Paso shooter was a white supremacist with his manifesto and his activities all over 8chan.

Heavy is reporting that the Dayton shooter was a leftist, going so far as to specify is preferred pronouns on Twitter.  He didn’t leave a manifesto.

Truth be told, I don’t think the politics of either shooter had much of anything to do with anything.

In the days following the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting from last weekend, it was reported that the shooter was a white supremacist.  The FBI now says that is wrong, and they can’t figure out a political motive for the shooting.  Also, the Garlic Festival shooter killed himself, which fits the traditional behavior of mass shooters when confronted by police.

The independent investigation site Bellingcat published a piece on the El Paso shooter about the gamification of mass shootings. It’s worth a read.

It focused on 8chan, for which we have no evidence that the Dayton shooter was a part of.  It is also heavily associated with white supremacism so discounts the Dayton shooter.

I think the El Paso shooting, followed very quickly by the Dayton shooting, with both shooters equipped like the want to survive the shooting shows a scary change in the direction of these types of events.

This is the zenith of nihilistic shit-stirring.  The ultimate form of trolling.

Go out and kill a bunch of people just to fan the flames a bit more, then sit back and watch the mayhem.

Not sharing these shooter’s names or faces does no good.  They are not in it for personal fame.  They have been trolling for years behind anonymous accounts and cartoon avatars.  They don’t need their name and face broadcast over TV to feel a sense of satisfaction.  This is about seeing how much damage they can create.

This is the sociopathy of internet trolling brought into the real world.  Anonymous people hurting others for the pleasure of it and measuring their success by the number of people hurt.

These are kids raised in the worst parts of the internet sewer.

This is going to happen again and more frequently.  These guys are keeping score with each other and the more they rile up the public, the more of a kick they get out of it.

They are going to be more and more equipped and prepared because they want to survive.

We are entering a dangerous new territory of mass shooter.  The internet troll shooter.

Stolen from The View From North Central Idaho.

If there is somebody who embodies the full characteristics of a Racist and a Bigot is Gun Control advocates. They cannot fathom that a Black or a Latino or a Woman or a LGQBT  may own guns. They are all White folks with small penises.

And we are the Rednecks.

I find myself going over this subject almost every time a mass shotting event happens.

This is somebody I follow in Twitter.  I understand there are  legitimate Law Enforcement and prevention reasons why mentioning the names of Asshole Patrick Crusias and Asshole Connor Betts is no a thing to do, but politically and Constitutionally, it is a very bad strategy.

Nature abhors vacuum and Humans abhor unanswered questions. We cannot expect that a falsely created void will not be filled just because we say/hope so. And if you think Gun Control Advocates are going to be honorable and not play politics with that hole, you are deluded and specially, where have you been?.

I bet that if I mention Nikki Cruz, about half of you will have a vague idea of him, you know you heard the name and since we are talking about mass shooter, he is probably one. You may not remember he is the Parkland shooter who killed 15 of his former school mates and gave us David Hogg as new Gun Control flavor.

The calls for Cruz’s name not to be mentioned went out again and as usual people wanted a responsible entity to lay blame on and although it started with the NRA, soon enough what happened in Parkland was attached to a live human being: Dana Loesch.

I applauded her for being ballsy enough to go into what she had to figure would be a hostile situation. But she is now more hated by the Left than all the real killers out there. The abuse she suffers in Social Media is brutal. The following are screen captures I gathered in under 1o minutes from her timeline and do not include the death threats that get promptly reported and deleted.

Notice the dates. This is not back when parkland but yesterday and the day before. Nice, huh?

This is what the “Don’t Mention Names” creates. It deflects the blame to those who are blameless and makes the whole sad affair a political clown show. I would even bet that if allowed, the Broward county jury in the future trial of Nikki Cruz would rather send Dana Loesch to get lethal injection and have the mass murderer go free.  And don’t forget that to a lesser level, you are also being adjudicated guilt in the mass killings. They will not bat an eye if they could send you to prison or have you taken to some backward alley and get shot in the back of the head.

If you haven’t bought your AR or similar semi rifle, it is time you seriously think about it. Not because legislation (I am sure the Dems are crafting one now) but because you may need it to save your life from the upcoming hate mobs.
