Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Tam’s going to Knob Creek…probably she is there by now. She composed a little verse in celebration.
Beltfeds and subguns and antitank rifles,
Loud GE Gatlings that ear muffs can’t stifle
Cannon and mortars and Tannerite fun
These are a few of my favorite guns!
I am gonna be humming it all day long while soaking in envy. Nothing like full auto to brighten up your life. Tam, enjoy it for us mere mortals.
Larry Correia is one of my favorite authors and also a self-appointed sadist to his fans. Right now he is offering a sample of seven chapters of his next work: The Grimnoir Chronicles: Hard Magic so we can literally beg and threaten him with a copy of the book.
The book won’t be released till next year (remember the part about self-appointed sadist to his fans?) but it is already drumming up a storm. If you haven’t read anything of Larry’s, check his blog or buy his first book: Monster Hunter International which Larry also gives a taste for free here. If you like it, be ready: Monster Hunter Vendetta is coming in September.
So a big deal has been done in the LeftBlogs and the Traditional Media about this group that allegedly wanted to kill cops. They are just foaming at the mouth and asking for God to deliver Fire & Brimstone to the Conservatives for sins not committed against Law Enforcement. And it struck me funny that they are so pro-cops all of the sudden.
You see, if the Hutaree were really planning on killing police officers, we will be the first to go volunteer as jurors and convict their sorry asses to the deepest dungeon or nastiest penal colony in the nation. However the Left has a funky view of Cop Killers: They celebrate them! You think I am kidding? Check the great efforts made by the Left to liberate Mumia Abu-Jamal giving them accolades and even the French renaming a street after the vermin. Yet we are the ones that celebrate violence and we are the obtuse.
How do we want to treat child molesters and rapists? Gimme a rusty hacksaw, some ammonia and a tarp. Come back in an hour with the mop and a bucket. However the Left is willing to give a pass to scum like Roman Polanski who drugged, raped, and sodomized a 13-year-old girl. Liberal Uber Idiot Whoopi Goldberg went as far as saying that “It wasn’t rape-rape.” And like her, many Hollywood types jumped in the same bandwagon.
And don’t make me go inside the hallowed walls of Congress. You should know at least one case were a Republican screws up and has to renounce in shame and half a block ahead of the tar and feathers of his own people. The Left will go into the Betty Ford Clinic mode (I know I am showing my age) having the particular culprit give an “emotional” and “heartfelt” apology, send him to a rehab clinic and re-elect him again for the same seat.
So assorted Left Wing idiots, spare me your staged indignation. Nobody is buying.
David Codrea brings us the health tip of the day courtesy of Kaiser Permanente. It seems that among the many things you can do to improve your quality of life such as wearing a seat belt, eat fruits and vegetables or drinking fluids, you should unload and lock away all your firearms.
As I am reading this, I have the TV on in the background where I can hear our local Murder und Mayhem TV station providing info on a home robbery invasion that happened in Plantation, nearby beautiful Fort Lauderdale.
Police said, at around 12:34 Tuesday morning, an intruder stormed into the home along Northwest Sixth Court and 75th Terrace and tied up and robbed the couple inside. “I heard some shots,” said Adino.
Neighbors said even though the husband cooperated with the intruder and handed over valuables, he was shot dead. “Why did they kill him? She said they gave them everything that they have, so why did he kill him,” said Adino, baffled.
So how are these two items connected? They are not… yet.
You know it will happen eventually. Somebody will actually heed the “Health Care Professional’s” advise, secure his or her firearms and get killed by those stupid instructions. If we are lucky, a huge and necessary lawsuit will ensue and send a company into a tailspin. Pundits will come out to defend the imbecile that came up with this amazing stupidity and point out that you actually have no chance to defend yourself in this situation. The usual fake statistic researches will pop out telling you that you are more liable to die with a gun in your house and the victim will be blamed for having appealing consumer goods in the household that attracted the poor criminal who has been denied the good things in life by an uncaring society. Of course the NRA, SAF, GOA, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, El Niño, Global Warming, Gun Bloggers, and a slew of others will get a lion’s share of the blame for not contributing with the creation of Walden 2 as the Gods of Progressive Thinking have intended.
If you happen to be under the care of a physician or medical group that subscribe to the idea that you are a stumbling idiot and must be kept disarmed in the name of political correctness, I suggest you print out a copy of this form and have them sign it: FIREARMS SAFETY COUNSELING REPRESENTATION: PHYSICIAN QUALIFICATIONS AND LIABILITY and them promptly ignore their advice. Remember that those carrying a stethoscope are harmful to your health.
UPDATE: More info on the murder. It was also a double murder attempt and arson. The Scumbag set the house on fire with the wife tied inside the house and a 5 year old sleeping. When apprehended, tried and convicted, I volunteer to push the IV with Drano in his ass.
A lazy Sunday. 77 degrees, cool breeze of 14 miles per hour and a humidity of 45% makes for a great time to spend time in the porch doing IDPA Scores and casting some bullets.
And that would be basil in the pots. Out of view we have parsley (two kinds), rosemary, oregano, Bay tree, cilantro, dill and I forget what else.
Next time you are grilling and a minute before serving, drop a 6 to 10 inch branch of rosemary in the coals and close the grill. The smoke will give a slight rosemary flavor to your meat or fish without overpowering any other flavors. The smoke will also scare away mosquitoes and other bugs.
Armed robbery at a Starbucks located inside of the University of Miami. UM is a Gun Free Zone, but apparently nobody informed the Bad Guys of this decision. I wonder if the robbery would have happened with a shop full of Open Carry people but at least we can tell Brady and Co. that a Gun Free Starbucks is not so safe & secure after all.
By the way, in the same news item I found something interesting. After Virginia Tech, Universities decided that the best way to deal with major crimes and specially incidents like an Active Murderous Shooter was to warn everybody via email & text messages. I am not shocked to see that the system is used for “very important stuff”:
“It’s a little bit shocking,because usually when we get crime alerts, it’s either a test or something minor like somebody snatching an iPod“
Cry wolf and all of that….
UPDATE: Perps caught! It was an inside job where an employee left the door open so the accomplices could come in and clean the till. Again the one thing that called my attention was the reaction of the students:
UM student Gemma Shields noted, “I think it’s really terrible. It’s really shocking that we’re on campus, and something like this is happening where we’re supposed to be secure.”
That what they said at Virginia Tech too.
