Boruch Spiegel, one of the last surviving fighters of the Warsaw ghetto uprising of 1943, in which a vastly outgunned band of 750 young Jews held off German soldiers for more than a month with crude arms and Molotov cocktails, died on May 9 in Montreal. He was 93.

A hero when heroes were needed. Nowadays he’d be seen by the Gun Control groups as insurrectionist and a threat against the government……wait…. he was an insurrectionist and a threat against the government back then.

Shalom Mr. Spiegel. Your lessons were not lost.

Authorities last week made an agreement not to prosecute a Northwest D.C. man who used his unregistered handgun to kill a pit bull in order to stop it from mauling a child in his neighborhood.

As part of the agreement, Benjamin Srigley, 39, was required to pay a $1,000 fine but will not have criminal charges filed against him for the three unregistered firearms and the ammunition that investigators found in his possession, said Ted Gest, a spokesman for the office of the attorney general.

He did it for the children, literally. He saved ONE LIFE. But he must pay for his good deed. That even prosecutors have the gall to impose him some fine is something that should make your stomach churn.

One of the many things that differ us from from Gun Control Activists is that when bad things happen, we run to the sound of trouble because we really care, while the opposition will rally with banners and demand action by the government while blaming us for the sins of the crazy and the criminal.

You will never see a Gun Control Activist risking life and limb for a fellow human being. Cowardice has very strict limits and a inhumane code of conduct.

Do you know that the wait for permission simply to own a firearm takes over one and a half years in some counties in New York state? Do you know that some of the recent proposals to encourage “responsible gun ownership” will cost each gun owner thousands of dollars every year? It is easy to say, “Well, yes, but we should regulate x or control y, without creating bad results like that.” But the reality on the ground says otherwise. All too often, restrictions on gun purchases simply mean that people of the right color and socio-economic class may buy guns, while people outside those categories may not. It happens often that people with good political connections (such as celebrities) may get them, while people without connections have a harder time.

Daniele Perazzi, president of the Italian Perazzi Shotguns firm, was taken into custody yesterday by Adams County Deputies [see update, below] along with several prototype shotguns. The executive was picked up in the parking lot of the Denver Merchandise Mart, hosting the high-end Colorado Gun Collectors show this weekend, after a taxi driver, likely reacting to a suspicious activity reporting outreach program conducted by law enforcement, told authorities he thought he could be transporting an armed “foreign speaking” terror suspect.

“We don’t want your shotguns! We love hunters! We just don’t want to see Assault Weapons in our streets!”  That is what Uncle Joe Biden and the rest of the Gun Control Cadre keeps telling us.  That is, of course till you have shotguns and are seen as a target.

But not only Dever PD was stupid enough to have him arrested without cause, this takes the frigging cake:

Perazzi was released a short time later and his prototype shotguns were returned to him, but reports have emerged that he was ordered by law enforcement to leave the state by nightfall, and sources tell Gun Rights Examiner he has gone one step further and left the country. He is expected to be returning soon with an eye toward filing legal action.

I guess Michael Bane was not exaggerating when he dubbed Mile High with the moniker People’s Republic of Denver.

PS: If you must have to take a trip to Denver, do not take a cab but rent a car as the taxi drivers apparently are former Stasi workers.

PS2: Check Gun America for the price of those “Saturday Night Specials” that Perazzi makes and can be found in the hands of gang members and local drug dealers in Denver.

UPDATE: It might be that the information initially given was wrong as Daniele Perazzi died late last year. It is possible that the one arrested was Mauro Perazzi. However the rest of the story so far stands.

Apparently it was a fake although I’d like to know how a TV station got fooled. This is the official statement from Perazzi:

In merito a quanto riportato dalla stampa di Denver (Colorado), relativamente ad un presunto arresto per terrorismo di Daniele Perazzi (fondatore della Armi Perazzi S.p.A.) sollecitato da un taxista del posto, precisiamo che la notizia è completamente destituita di ogni fondamento.

Infatti, Daniele Perazzi è, purtroppo, mancato ai vivi da circa un anno. Neppure il figlio, Mauro, si trovava sabato scorso negli USA.

Ciò significa che quanto riportato dalla stampa è assolutamente falso e sbagliato e che, di conseguenza, la notizia non è stata per nulla verificata.

L’azienda Perazzi, peraltro, contrariamente a quanto scritto, conosce bene la legislazione americana sulle armi a ragione della sua estesa e rinomata attività di commercializzazione dei suoi prodotti negli USA.

Poiché è difficile pensare a semplice errore, si ritiene che qualcuno che ha interessi contrari a quelli della Perazzi S.p.A., può aver creato questo falso a fini esclusivamente diffamatori.

La società ha già dato mandato ai suoi legali, per intraprendere le più opportune azioni, civili e penali, a tutela del marchio rappresentato e della relativa attività, svolta anche e con profitto sul mercato americano.

About press reports of Denver (Colorado), relating to an alleged arrest for terrorism Daniele Perazzi (founder of Perazzi Armi SpA) urged by a taxi driver of the place, we point out that the news is completely devoid of any foundation.

In fact, Daniele Perazzi is, unfortunately, failed to live for about a year. Even his son, Mauro, was last Saturday in the USA.

This means that as reported in the press is absolutely false and wrong and that, consequently, the news has not been verified for nothing.

The company Perazzi, however, contrary to what is written, is familiar with the American legislation on weapons because of his extensive and well-known activities of marketing its products in the USA.

Since it is difficult to think of simple error, it is believed that someone who has interests contrary to those of the Perazzi SpA, may have created this false defamatory purposes only.

The company has already instructed his lawyers to take the most appropriate actions, civil and criminal, in order to protect the brand represented and related activities, and also turning a profit on the American market.

“Are there any guns in the house?”

And there was the dilemma. How to answer? Do I tell her it’s none of their damn business? Do I lie? Instead, the professionally dressed (yes! A skirt and heels! On FRIDAY, none-the-less), middle-aged mom shot back with “Of COURSE there are guns in the house! How else am I going to keep her safe?”

I belong to the old school that believed in keeping gun ownership, if not totally secret, greatly censored to anybody but a selected few. I think we are now in the absolute need to be Loud & Proud about being a Gun Owner….although we do not need to be 100% frank and give a complete inventory of what we own to any stranger.(Some things will always need to be private/secret.) But as the Opposition is trying to “shame” us in front of the rest of the nation like we were drug dealers or child abusers, we should make it clear that we are NOT ashamed or afraid of enjoying and participate in the goodness of the Second Amendment.

The second bovine in need of execution is the avoidance of naming the culprit of a Mass Killing with the excuse of having other similar assholes think we are giving them too much importance and seeking the same amount of attention for themselves. Although the sentiment is noble, this creates a vacuum of information as people do what people normally do: seek who to blame. The media and the Gun Control pundits have no problem falsely assigning the guilt to the NRA and/or Gun Owners in general. You’d expect that the majority would see through this simplistic political play, but I’d say many don’t. Besides, the shooter is crazy to begin with and he probably did not need to be pushed by the promise of being famous anyway as that kind of psychotic idiocy is reserved for most politicians and plenty of Hollywood actors who desperately do stupid sh** to have their names appear on camera and print.

Just my humble opinions, that is all.

It also works on Yankees visiting with a bad attitude. It works better than the “Take I-95 North.”  😀
