Yesterdays "Big" Anti-NRA March

Five sad pictures from today’s anti-NRA March

Yesterday they held an Anti-NRA march in Washington DC.

Public Campaign, Occupy the NRA, CREDO, Every Child Matters, Moveon, United For Change, USA, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, The Other 98%, and We Act Radio were all there. I will not be add links to these fools.

A generous estimate was about 100 people total. Not quite the million they wanted. They still made speeches. Still preached to their choir. Even the media was shaking their heads at how pitiful it was.

They timed this march to be the week before the Annual NRA convention. I wonder how many people will be there?

--Sad, sad, clowns...

Kids these Days

Did you hear about the kid that refused when a teacher ordered him to take of his shirt? He got suspended and actually got arrested for wearing an NRA T-shirt.

The kid apparently played it very cool and allowed them to take him away.

In one of the best "Fuck You" moves to the liberal fascists, he was cleared and returned to school wearing the very same T-Shirt.

--He and a ton of other kids that were wearing it in solidarity.

Hats

I think we need more hats.

We were clearing closets when I realized how many hats I have. Probably at least fifty hats.

Granted they are mostly baseball hats. Usually purchased while on vacation to keep the sun off because I forgot to pack a hat for that trip.

Lots of shooting related hats. Plenty of camo hats for hunting and camping. Others designed to keep hot brass away from my collar. Industry hats with logos from Glock, Remington and the NRA.

Even a Hoplorati hat!

They keep my dome warm or cool and the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my glasses. All good for shooters.

--Do you have a favorite shooting hat?

Boston Bombers

What?

The Boston Marathon Murderers had guns even though it was illegal to have them. Neither one of them had permits. Massachusetts is one of the places in the country with the tightest gun control.

Say it ain't so.

And when it got dangerous out there what did ALL the cops have? Evil Assault Rifles. The same guns that are "only good for war"? The same guns that are "only good for killing people".

Don't get me started about undeclared martial law police state tactics. If that had happened where I live there would be no searching of my house without a warrant or a lawsuit. And you can bet I would have had my AR15 at hand.

I hope this results in MILLIONS of dollars of lawsuits.

--Bad Guys getting guns illegally and killing people. Unpossible, you need a permit!!

Gun Control Post Mortum

Angry over a political loss NOT lost lives 

Now that the gun control blood dance is over it has revealed a high degree of ignorance in our leaders and the public.

Here is a great article that mirrors my feelings on the issues:

Dear Gun Control Democrats: 6 Ways to Make a Better Argument

1. Stop Sending Mixed Messages
2. You Have To Understand What You’re Regulating
3. Stop Using Children
4. Stop Pretending Background Checks Don’t Already Exist.
5. Treat the NRA As What They Are: Other American Citizens
6. Don’t Forget About Us!

Mixed Messages

It really makes me wonder.

Why would the Obama Administration seek to make it easier for immigrants to obtain firearms while, at the same time, it tries to make it MORE difficult for Americans?

I read an a post on Breitbart today:

"Normally, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) requires legal aliens to live in a state for 90 days before buying a gun. The ATF does this through a rule attached to the Gun Control Act of 1968.

In June, Holder’s DOJ proposed to eliminate that 90-day residency requirement rule."

--I can't seem to see the motivations of these guys.

Let's Blame the Bomb

So when there is a shooting tragedy stupid people blame the gun.

So why is no one blaming the bomb?

Thanks to every media outlet every nut-ball out there now knows where to find info on the Internet on how to make a killer bomb in their Kitchen! Oh and don't forget the rusty nails and the ball barrings.

Now we even have professionally created instructions with excellent graphics thanks to the media.

Let's also teach these villains how to disguise their faces from cameras.

Carry your guns people. We may need them.

--Can car bombs and suicide vests be far behind?

UPDATE: 5:30am - One bombing suspect is dead as well as one police and a member of MIT Security. Suspect two is on the run in a jacked car. I don't really trust any of these details, so large grain of salt...

Gun Control Slapped Down

In a bi-partisan vote the last surviving remains of the Sandy Hook Aftermath Panic Gun Control Act had the plug pulled.

The Bill was defeated as well as all the amendments.

Did you see the press conference? He had a tantrum over this piece of bad legislation? The biggest question I have today is why was President Obama more upset about this than the terrorist bombing in Boston?  Maybe it was all the tens of millions of dollars that was wasted by flying Sandy Hook families around on Air Force One so they could be trotted out to be on display as people danced in the blood of their children. All for nothing. I don't think that's it. Because wasting money if a favorite hobby.

Look at the face on Joe "shotgun" Biden. He might turn into a muppet soon if he gets more frowny.

They took their best shot. They got our attention. Time for us to get busy. Time to join the NRA. Time to write your representative to thank them or to let them know that they have lost your vote and you are going to make sure everyone you know will be voting against them next time. Because now we know who the Death-Eaters really are.

I am going to stop leaning on all the people that are now crying in their coffee. No more talking past the sale. They will be distracted soon by something else. Illegal Immigration is my bet.

--We won. Now get up. This is no time to rest.

Email Your Reps AGAIN

Oppose the Gun Control Bill.

Do it now.

Marathon Bombing

"Hey, Joe! Get Walmart on the horn. I hear they sell bomb making supplies."

I saw on the news the trickle of information about the Boston Marathon bombing.

I have come to hate the talking heads that just speculate with minimum facts. It has been released that the bomb was made in a kitchen pressure cooker with black powder, nails and ball bearings.

They started talking about how easy it is to buy black powder. How dangerous it is and how easy it is to make bombs with it.

Oh boy.

--Does this mean there is going to be a run on black powder now!?!

Running late

It was nice seeing everyone last night at Jimmy's. Thanks Borepatch for putting it together.

More later after I get home from work.

Blogmeet tonight

697 Spring Street, Herndon, VA.

Tonight Borepatch will be in town and wanted to go out to dinner.

Where: Jimmy's Old Town Tavern  
             697 Spring Street, Herndon, VA.
When:  April 15, 2013 - 6:30pm
Why: Because we can
Who: You and people like you

Just a quick reminder about Concealed Carry in VA. You can carry in bars in VA but only if you are not drinking. Unless you are a cop, then you are allowed to carry and drink all you like!

Here is the text of the law: 

• §18.2-308 (J.3.): No person who carries a concealed handgun onto the premises of any restaurant or club as defined in § 4.1-100 for which a license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption has been granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board under Title 4.1 of the Code of Virginia; may consume an alcoholic beverage while on the premises. A person who carries a concealed handgun onto the premises of such a restaurant or club and consumes alcoholic beverages is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. However, nothing in this subsection shall apply to a federal, state, or local law-enforcement officer.

--See you there!

Gun Control Water Down Again...

The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act

Some of the details are starting to come out. So far it is not as bad as I thought it would be. The proof will be in the real text of the full bill and it's amendments.

There is a big section of telling the states to do their damn job in reporting crazy people.

Expanding background checks at gun shows? VA already has these checks at gun shows. It exempts privates sales and loans of firearms with no reporting requirements.

The Internet Sales portion seems to be laying rules down for companies that will make Internets sales easier. That is odd.

It also has language that eases thru-transport of guns if you are traveling from stat to state.

The bill so far will not ban or take away anyone's guns, magazines or ammo, or create a national registry.

Hard core Anti-GunControl folks will not like it. 

I love that it seems to be a big Fuck You to DiFi.

--The final text of the bill will be key.
