Same $#it, different day…Pardon my French. The President has announced his intention to redouble his gun-control efforts. Never mind that most of this country’s most tragic multiple shootings have a disturbing tendency to happen, more often than not, in jurisdictions with all the restrictions and bans the President, the Brady Campaign, and others demand while simultaneously claiming to respect the 2nd Amendment. The fact is, they’ll never be “happy” until all guns are banned so they can turn their attention to your thoughts, Oh wait, they are already trying to control your thoughts and redefine the First Amendment as a privilege only for those they believe worthy..

#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you.

These are the words of University of Kansas David Guth. And he’s proud of them…“Hell no, hell no, I do not regret that tweet,” Guth said. “I don’t take it back one bit.” Personally, I never think of Kansas as being a bastion of liberal think because I’ve got good friends from Kansas and their heads are screwed on straight. Hell, the state recognizes the right to open carry! But then, I’ve never attended college in Kansas and apparently, the colleges are, well…very different.
Not one to leave well enough alone, Prof. Guth just couldn’t leave well enough alone. He took to his blog, Snapping Turtle, and wrote, “I don’t wish what happened today on anyone” “But if it does happen again – and it likely will – may it happen to those misguided miscreants who suggest that today’s death toll at the Navy Yard would have been lower if the employees there were allowed to pack heat.”
Thankfully, the University has decided Guth needed a time out. In a statement announcing Guth’s suspension this morning, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, wrote “In order to prevent disruptions to the learning environment for students, the School of Journalism and the university, I have directed Provost Jeffrey Vitter to place Associate Professor Guth on indefinite administrative leave pending a review of the entire situation.” Previously, the school had released this statement condemning Guth’s tweet, “The contents of Professor Guth’s tweet were repugnant and in no way represent the views or opinions of the University of Kansas.” “It is truly disgraceful that these views were expressed in such a callous and uncaring way. We expect all members of the university community to engage in civil discourse and not make inflammatory and offensive comments…”

From the city that brought us hope and change and, even with it’s recent decision to eliminate the city’s firearms registry, still has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, yet another night of violence that curiously doesn’t seem to happen with quite the same frequency in “free states.” This time, a three-year-old boy is among 13 injured in a shooting at a Chicago park.
Like New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, and even Houston, Chicago has a violence problem. But Chicago’s issues are demonstrably worse than most and has been in spite of what were some of the most restrictive firearms laws in the country. They are in fact, the leader in total murders in the United States and there is no sign they are slowing down any time soon. Yet, in spite of overwhelming evidence that their anti-gun policies aren’t helping, we’ll see yet another call for even more gun control.
Democrats throughout the state claim that blood will run in the streets as a result of court rulings and new laws allowing concealed carry and other freedoms. But here’s a news flash, blood has been running in the streets of Chicago since the 1930s. Banning guns, even the National Firearms Act, attempting to ban/register the “Chicago Typewriter”, didn’t help. Curiously, the surrounding areas, where people can own guns with a great deal more freedom, are actually pretty peaceful. Seems like the old saying that an armed society is a polite society rings true every time.

Note to self, tread lightly near HPD headquarters. You never know when the chief might come barreling through the crosswalk.
