Gun Free Zone

Sebastian over at Shall Not Be Questioned comments about the Bloomberg Business article regarding the Ever-Shrinking Gun Control movement.

I think a big factor in the disappearance of support for gun control is generational, namely that subsequent generations don’t harbor as many racial and xenophobic anxieties as previous generations. Whether our opponents want to admit it or not, much of the nations gun control was prompted by these anxieties among political elites

Back way then when I got into the Gun Rights melee, the NAACP and other minorities groups were backing up the Clinton Administration who were pretty vocal about banning guns, how Evil Gun Makers were targeting the Ghetto with cheap guns and how minorities should be gun free…. which was a message that the Ku Klux Klan totally agreed with.

Never forget that Gun Control Laws in the US started and developed to keep the guns from the “undesirables”: They started against the Freed Slaves, Chinese,Irish, Italians, Latinos. Then the powers that be realized that having everybody under control was much more fun and efficient. They do not like that we are fast recovering our rights are not going gently into that night but they are going.

While Brady is out there whoring themselves to the Media desperately trying to avoid oblivion, we will be posting a picture of a lit candle and you carry gun. Or if you prefer, a picture of a candle and your home defense gun.

Weer beat me to the punch so to him goes the laurels. Now, on January 8th, light a candle next to your favorite gun and post it in your blog, Facebook page or Twitter account to stick it in the eye of the Dancing-On-Blood Vultures of the Brady Campaign. If you want to share it in this blog, leave the link of the picture in the comments section of that day’s post.

Let’s set Brady hypocrisy on fire.

The cartoon appears attached to an article by Dave Zweifel in Capital Times from Wisconsin which touts itself to be “Your Progressive Voice” (’nuff said right there.) Mr. Zweifel’s article bemoans the fact that the names of people with concealed carry permits are not available to them:

Ironically, the shielding of concealed carry permits from public inspection has been a major reason why the gun lobby has been able to claim that concealed carry laws have not caused any problems.

Ironically that is not the case. Many states do make available statistics of not only how many have been issued, age and sex of the CCWers but also how many have been suspended and for what reason. Across the board the result is always pretty much the same: People with Concealed Carry Permits are much more Law Abiding than the general population and leagues ahead than many governmental entities.

Now on to Ladd. The Former ACORN intern in charge of the Facebook page claims that the NRA is against the rest of the Bill of Rights. Now that is downright pitifully funny considering that CSGV and most of the Gun Control groups constantly erases any comments that go contrary to their position or reveal their lies and bans whomever posts those “awful” posts; no Freedom of Speech for You!. CSGV et all are also against Gun Shows so there goes the Freedom of Assembly! For the love of me, I cannot remember when the NRA interfered with a news organization or passed a law against the press.. unless you count when they have confronted and taken to task irresponsible news organizations for fabricating stories in order to shed a negative lies on gun ownership.

The same goes for the rest of the list. But Wisconsonites should not worry; even CSGV knows that this time next year or a bit longer there will be a news item buried in the same Capital Times “Your Progressive Voice” saying that “contrary to expectations, there has not been an increase in shootings, no blood running down the streets and no gangs acquiring gun permits to further their crimes and that they cannot explain why.” They will not tell you that the only ones expecting mayhem were them because we already knew it was not gonna happen.

Trying to figure out why the formatting went DailyKos on me.

Anybody knows what I did and how to fix it, let me know!

Update: Social Media plug in was the culprit (the thinghie with Facebook, Twitter & other buttons). That is the second one that goes stupid on me. I cannot understand why these things are so unreliable.

Any recommendations?

The more things change…

“There is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen. It is monstrous if the state fails to protect its residents against such predators but it does not violate the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, or, we suppose, any other provision of the Constitution. The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties; it tells the state to let the people alone; it does not require the federal government or the state to provide services, even so elementary a service as maintaining law and order.” – Bowers v. DeVito, 686 F.2d 616 (7th Cir. 1982)
