“I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It’s designed for that,” McChrystal explained. “That’s what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America.”

Perhaps he was misquoted.

But at this point, were his teeth on fire, I’d not unzip to put them out. 

While I feel sorry for Gabby Giffords, who didn’t deserve to be shot in the head,

The fact is that the proposals put forth would not have stopped Jared Laughner from being able to purchase the firearm he used in her shooting.

BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER REPORTED AS INSANE BY THE AUTHORITIES despite many chances to do so.

“I bought a gun at Walmart recently and I went through a background check. It’s not a difficult thing to do,” Kelly said. “Why can’t we just do that and make it more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns?” 

Maybe if the police and sheriff had done their jobs with reporting Laughner, you might not be wanting to  restrict my rights…and your wife would not be damaged.

I lost all respect for her and Mark Kelley, her husband, for allowing themselves to be used as tools by the gun banners.And for their alloing themselves to be used by the “Americans for Responsible Solutions” group which wants “common sense solutions”.

Again, what is/are “common sense solutions”? Give us  even one solution that does not infringe on my rights, or the rights of other law abiding citizens to own and use our firearms. One solution which would have stopped even one of the crimes you hold up as reasons to restrict my rights. One solution which would have saved a single victim.

Just one.

Or you are lying to yourself as well as the rest of us.

My firearms didn’t kill anyone today…nor yesterday, nor lat week, nor last year. 

But you want to disarm me anyway, and I think it is for other reasons.

But isn’t it interesting that just as the public begins to forget the Sandy Hook shooting, that the media is not blasting all sorts of info about the Aurora, Colorado shooter all fully up to speed on the dangers of guns and all that.

Interesting….Innit?

Someone who was …er…suspicious and who sees conspiracies in everything might be wondering if that is the case here. That the message is being massaged to keep the sheep people enraged so as to push opinion in the “right” direction.

“Arms discourage and keep the invader
and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as
property. Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of
the use of them.”


Thomas Paine

It matters not at all where the plunderer comes from. It matters not at all if he is an invader or a countryman. 

have found that you really really wish that you’d bought more ammo? Bought that rifle you were thinking about buying. Wish that you had purchased that first AR or AK 6 months ago? How many thought you had time then, but ran out of time.

Me, I can always use more, but I am stocked well enough.

Hope ya “bought it cheap and stacked it deep” . Hope you have the tools you need, if and when.

‘Cause I was told that the pipelines are empty. What is left is what there is. Demand has so totally outstripped supply that there will not be significant amounts of .22lr, .223/5.56, .307/7.62 etc for
months. Likely months on pistol ammo too. Imported ammo may never return if a gun bill gets passed. Rifles and pistols may not be available for months, if then. Even without a ban.

Scary, ain’t it?

Hope yer stocked.

I WAS planning on buying a Mosin, but at $300 instead of $99, I think I may pass. Bummer. 

’cause the dollar won’t be worth wiping your ass with at the rate we are going.

Greeks have a new way to work around the Euro.

Only police should have guns, right?
Becuse they are trained and honest and can be trusted. Much more so than the rest of us…right?

Right?

(This is not a slam on the police. Rather it is to expose the fallacy that police are somehow, because of training and testing and a badge, are supposed to be more honest and trustworthy than Joe/Jane Average Citizen.)

Friend of mine just bought an old rifle. 30-06 caliber. The rifle is 30 years or so old, and in beautiful shape.

So I asked him how he liked his new “sniper rifle”.

He replied it is a “hunting rifle”.

I tactfully pointed out that it depends on your point of view….and really, it depends on exactly what you are hunting….

He was not amused.

What, exactly, is a “fair share”? Lets discuss this.

The DNC and liberals and Barry have all complained that the “rich” need to  “pay their fair share”.

So what, exactly do they mean? How much is “fair”?
Any amount they earn over, say, $250K?
50% of their pay?
80% of anything over $1M?

Really, lets define it. Just so we can talk about it. ‘Cause you haven’t defined it well.

Anything else is just demagoguery.

You know this is gonna come up again in a few months when we hit the debt ceiling again.
