Gun Free Zone

Out of An NC Blog, I finally found the Slate list that the riders of the Yankee Vulture Bus use to read the names of people who dies of “gun violence.” Since it is a searchable database, I did a quick look for Miami and found some interesting things:

Eric Fussell: Shot in a car with companion Joshua Whack (also in the list) and according to the local NBC station “Whack had a lengthy criminal record, mostly for cocaine charges, dating back to 2004, according to court records. Fussell had been arrested previously on fraud, marijuana and cocaine charges, court records said.”

Remember, Bloomberg & Slate. are trying to sell you that they are doing this to save innocent victims, but they have no problem adding the name of veteran criminals to the list to pad it.

Dell Peter DiGiovanni: Suspect in a shootout with police as they were investigating drug trafficking and opened fire on the officers. Here is the rub: Dell Peter DiGiovanni hung himself. Must have used bullet rope or something like that.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A man believed to have been one of three people who got into a shoot out with police in front of a burning home in southwest Miami-Dade Tuesday night was found hanging from a tree.Wednesday afternoon, police confirmed that the body of 50-year old Dell Peter DiGiovanni hung himself on a tree in front of a home at SW 147 Avenue and SW 48 Terrace.

Carlos Zuniga: This one I find particularly disgusting that this case got included. Carlos Zuniga murdered his 11-year-old son, wounded his wife and daughter and then committed suicide. This bastard is not a “victim” of “Gun Violence” but he dies by using his own gun on himself so it is good enough to be used in the Yankee Vulture Bus solemn readings.

Milton Devon Johnson: This one takes the cake because he was an armed robber who found out the hard way that armed victims are not quite defenseless. Yes, Milton Devon pulled a gun on somebody to rob him of his possessions and got a direct ticket to the morgue for his efforts. Now, I can see why Bloomberg & Slate would see this guy as a victim, how dare a citizen use deadly force to defend himself from an underprivileged American just seeking to do some amateur wealth sharing?

Joe White III: So what this perfect example of human being was doing when he was shot to death? Praying in church? Helping old ladies cross the street? Feeding the poor at a soup kitchen? Nope, he was shot by the police after stabbing three women, members of his family.

Marcial Martinez: It is never a good idea to pull a knife on cops as they tend to shoot you right where you stand and that is what happened to this subject who was involved in an argument, police was called and apparently Mr. Martinez decided that he was too macho to obey police orders to drop the knife. Are you guys getting the sense that Bloomberg & Slate really do not like cops at all?

Next I present you with Mr. Unknown. I am not kidding. He died on 6/11/2013
Then on 6/29/2013:
And finally on 6/30/2013.
Must be an outbreak of the Undead that I have not heard about.

The database showed 22 results for Miami, four of those were for cities/towns in Oklahoma and Ohio with the same name. Six were either criminals or people committing crimes, three were “unknown” whatever the hell that means which leave us with six confirmed innocent people who were real victims of violence perpetrated with the use of a gun. Leaving the “Unknowns” aside, we have six real victims and a set of six less-than-stellar citizens which means the numbers for Miami were padded 100% by Slate and propagated by Bloomberg’s Yankee Vulture Bus.

I know I repeat myself but: If their cause is so righteous and just, why lie?

Because it ain’t.

Took a trip to the range today with SWMBO and although fun was had, I was not happy with my marksmanship and I have nobody to blame but me.

When I saw my groups were not as tight as they should be, I went back to the basics with special attention to the front sight acquisition and there is where I found the issue: I could not see but a blur. I had to move head up and down trying to get an angle where my glasses could provide me with a better image and it was not easy.

Of course it was in the middle of it that I remembered a voice mail left by my eye doctor’s office last week saying hi and telling me that I haven’t been over to visit them in over two years. I might be in need of a new prescription, you think?

At the range, lack of a proper front sight picture is an annoyance. Out there in real life is the difference between hitting the intended target where it will make him stop his misdeed and not stopping him or miss altogether.

Time to make an appointment.

The latest faux outrage hitting Moms Demand Action.

Who would engage in a half a mile run with a gun in the open? That is just not done! It is insane…well only if you do not include an Olympic sport albeit on skies and for miles and miles: Biathlon.

As you can see, we are not talking about a sedated pace or even a leisured run but a spheres-to-the-wall cross-country run-and-gun sport.
Do not expect to see MDA boycotting the Olympic Games anytime soon. Maybe we will see them wearing those stupid paper ties.

It continues: “At 10:45 a.m. defendant Officer Christopher Worley (HPD) contacted plaintiff Anthony Mitchell via his telephone. Worley told plaintiff that police needed to occupy his home in order to gain a ‘tactical advantage’ against the occupant of the neighboring house. Anthony Mitchell told the officer that he did not want to become involved and that he did not want police to enter his residence. Although Worley continued to insist that plaintiff should leave his residence, plaintiff clearly explained that he did not intend to leave his home or to allow police to occupy his home. Worley then ended the phone call.

Mitchell claims that defendant officers, including Cawthorn and Worley and Sgt. Michael Waller then “conspired among themselves to force Anthony Mitchell out of his residence and to occupy his home for their own use.” (Waller is identified as a defendant in the body of the complaint, but not in the heading of it.)

The complaint continues: “Defendant Officer David Cawthorn outlined the defendants’ plan in his official report: ‘It was determined to move to 367 Evening Side and attempt to contact Mitchell. If Mitchell answered the door he would be asked to leave. If he refused to leave he would be arrested for Obstructing a Police Officer. If Mitchell refused to answer the door, force entry would be made and Mitchell would be arrested.'”

Dear Sirs: You have a badge, not a crown.

I owe a hat tip, I forgot who I stole this from.

Salutations fellow Insurrectionists (according to certain Gun Control individuals anyway)

Apparently whomever has the title of Governor of Illinois also has the power to amend bills the way he likes them. It is called Amendatory Veto. Governor Pat Quinn just turned the already screwed Illinois Concealed Weapons bill into sheer madness. Here is some of the crap he pulled:

1. No carry anywhere alcohol is served whether you drink or not.
2. Home Rule stays. Every little body of government pretty much can come up with rules governing Concealed Carry and will make Illinois look like a mad seamstress quilt.
3. The only way you can carry in an establishment is if the proprietors allow you do so and have signage indicating so…yes, the “Guns are allowed in this establishment” sign, a joke we have seen in other states is now part of Illinois law, a joke on itself.
4. “When I say ten rounds, I mean ten rounds.” Not only you can only have a 10 round capacity on magazines, you are only allowed to carry ONE magazine. And no New York reloads either, you just can carry one gun. May your mag never fail.
5. Accidental exposure of a gun? Bubba, you really are in trouble.
6. If you apply for a CWP, expect your info to be available to the public. yes we will embarrass you and coerce you into not applying.
7. The “readily convertible” Voldemort Magazine is also verbotten.
8. Are you insane according to the nurse’s apprentice at your podiatrist’s office. She can snitch on you and you will not be able to carry as long as she is deemed “a qualified examiner.”

Governor Quinn pulled a Cartman and said to people of Illinois: “Screw you guys!”
