Best comment about SOTU Address.

I found out that is more fun to follow SOTU via Social media than actually watching it. Best comment so far was in Facebook from a fella named Dave B. regarding Obama’s comments about Violence Against Women:

my wife threw the whistle away and bought a 380…

I can’t fault the logic. Especially in light of this:

The bill authorizes $659 million over five years for VAWA programs. It also expands VAWA to include new protections for LGBT and Native American victims of domestic violence, to give more attention to sexual assault prevention and to help reduce a backlog in processing rape kits.

via In VAWA Vote, Senate Overwhelmingly Passes Violence Against Women Act.

Let me repeat that again: and to help reduce a backlog in processing rape kits.

Even though the number of reported rapes has dropped 20% from 1994 to 2010, it is obvious VAWA did not turn out to be the magical panacea promised. In comparison, the number of murders & non-negligent manslaughter has dropped by half in the same period matching the timeline of more and more people deciding to stop waiting for the Government to keep them safe and exercising their right of self-defense by not only buying guns but also helping to pass legislation that actually favors the law-abiding in cases of attack by criminals and not the other way around.

I think it is time to cut the BS and do the two things we know work: Tougher sentencing for Sexual Predators (no deals) and let women be responsible for their own safety…. and not by using a whistle or a tongue depressor or fouling themselves.

Amnesty International for Valentines: Keep Women Disarmed for Fun and Profit.

Amnesty International has a campaign for Valentines that is amazingly contradictory.

First they demand that Congress passes the Violence Against Women Act:
And then demand that the NRA stop attacking the Arms Trade Treaty because it helps rapists:
The Gun Control Morons are desperate. They are doing their best to separate women from the notion that they can defend themselves and only a government figure is allowed to protect them. It is a sad thing to see from Amnesty International babbling the same line when their own records show that unarmed women are sold as slaves, raped and killed by members of unrestrained governments all around the world. So basically Amnesty International supports the rights of Abusive Regimes to plunder female genitalia at their will.

To that American Women simply say “No.”

I Laugh at Thee!

So several years ago and under a different administration, I got the bug of reloading my ammo. People laughed because I was collecting 9mm brass like it was an article of faith to be revered. Back then only people shooting the .45 ACP were collecting brass and only those who liked to reload or shoot it in heavy volume.

Then on another scare, I decided that fighting for bullets was hard enough so I got into casting. I bought and scavenged enough lead to open an old school printing shop using Linotype and practiced around till I got a decent bullet although I admit I still have an issue with getting the correct hardness for supersonic loads.

Eventually SWMBO stepped in and said I had enough stuff. I did some secret buy of primers just to replace what I had burned & used and if she found out, she did not say a thing. She does complain when I used to leave the lead furnace on the coffee table and the cat was playing with the sprue.

As of right now, I can take on the cast, crew and extras of all the seasons of The Walking Dead….three times over.

And I swear I have never seen gun ranges so clean in my life.

Yes, I am gloating. Deal with it.

Olympic Arms also goes 2A.

From their Facebook page:

Press Release: Olympic Arms, Inc. Announces New York State Sales Policy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights. One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms.

Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines. We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States, ignoring such SCOTUS rulings as District of Columbia v. Heller – 554, U.S. 570 of 2008, McDonald v. Chicago – 561 U.S. 3025 of 2010, and specifically the case of United States v. Miller – 307 U.S. 174 of 1939.

Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity – will no longer be served as customers.

In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York – henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.

If the leaders of the State of New York are willing to limit the right of the free and law abiding citizens of New York to arm themselves as they see fit under the Rights enumerate to all citizens of the United State through the Second Amendment, we feel as though the legislators and government entities within the State of New York should have to abide by the same restrictions.

This action has caused a division of the people into classes: Those the government deems valuable enough to protect with modern firearms, and those whose lives have been deemed as having less value, and whom the government has decided do not deserve the right to protect themselves with the same firearms. Olympic Arms will not support such behavior or policy against any citizen of this great nation.

Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

Sincerely,

Brian Schuetz
President
Olympic Arms, Inc.

NBC caught fibbing again. Accidental Hat Tip to CSGV

chicago gun deaths first

I do have to thank the Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence for making me check out this map.  I gave the map a quick look and I was amazed to see that according to NBC, that weekend was peaceful across the Windy City.

chicago gun deaths
A circle indicated a “gun death” (other deaths are irrelevant) and the color determined the type of gun death. As you can see NOT ONE DEATH happened in Chicago during MLK weekend according to NBC.

Except, stuff did happen according to the Chicago Sun Times: 17 people shot, 2 fatalities.

chicago gun deaths2Damn it! Chicago has the best Gun Control Laws in the country! How dare the truth screw up the narrative!
