New York newspaper to list more gun permit holders after uproar – Yahoo! News.

This isn’t journalism. It’s not about informing the public. It is wanton and reckless endangerment of law abiding citizens who have committed no crimes. These “journalists” have an agenda and as much as they’d likely claim the NRA has blood on its hands as a result of the Newtown tragedy and others, these “journalists” should surely consider themselves just as guilty if someone targets these innocent citizens for violence. Then again, that would require them to be logical and thoughtful people which they clearly are not.

 

Chicago reaches 500 homicides with fatal shooting – Yahoo! News

Chicago reaches 500 homicides with fatal shooting – Yahoo! News.

Yup…Gun control works. Just ask Chicago with the tightest firearms regulations in the entire country. You cannot buy legally ammunition, let alone a gun, in the state of Illinois without a valid Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card and one must submit to a background check with the Illinois State Police just to get said FOID card. And yet, Chicago leads the country in murders and has consistently been among the most murderous cities for decades.

Police Recruiting in a “Red” State vs Police Recruiting in a “Blue” State

A CNBC article popped up on Yahoo in the last day or so that mentions a couple police recruiting videos that have gone viral.  Without realizing it, the author hit on something I can’t help but notice.  Most of us know that Georgia is a decidedly “Red” state, or as us gun folks might say, a “free” state that recognizes the rights of its citizens and one in which the Constitution still holds water. California, on the other hand, is decidedly “Blue” and a state that has been on a 50 year tear to completely eliminate the 2nd Amendment rights of not just Californians but, the entire country because apparently, politicians from California think the people serve the government rather than the other way around.  So with that thought, take a look at police recruiting videos from Decatur, GA versus Newport Beach, CA.  The CNBC article makes fun of the difference in attitude, characterizing Decatur as “Mayberry” while Newport and California in general is jokingly referred to as “Afghanistan.”  Now I’ve been to both cities and I have to say, nothing about California outside gang infested areas like South Central LA has ever reminded me of anything I’d associate with Afghanistan.  Decatur might indeed be a lot like Mayberry in the sense that it is still a small town and feels like it.  Newport however, in spite of its recruiting video, is about as far removed from “Afghanistan” as you can get so the, “we’ll chew you up and spit you out” attitude of their recruiting video just makes me laugh.

Don’t be surprised if you haven’t seen this mentioned in mainstream media…They approve of almost anything and everything Democrats do, including selling the entire US population into slavery for the benefit of big insurance firms by calling it health care reform.  But we’ve also heard both the President and Attorney General of the United States go on record saying they could envision ways of getting around the Constitution to enact and enforce stricter gun laws.  Obama and Holder are not alone in their desire to get around the Constitution. See the except below:

 “…a group of anti-gun members of the U.S. House of Representatives, led by U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), went so far as to circulate a letter last week to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, in which they “strongly urge the United States to take a leadership role in pushing for a strong, verifiable Arms Trade Treaty.”

These House members insist that the treaty include “controls on a comprehensive list of weaponry, including small arms and light weapons,” as well as controls on ammunition. For good measure, they wrap their unconstitutional demands in the mantle of advancing “human rights” and preventing international violence.

Don’t you dare think these people give a rats butt about SCOTUS rulings stating that the Constitution does indeed guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms.  After years of courts ruling in their favor, suddenly, that decision was a politically motivated ruling by activists judges and in their minds, invalid.  They support the Bill of Rights only up to the point it furthers their own agenda.  The minute those right apply to a view point other than their own, they’ll go out of their way to try to alienate those rights for the people who don’t share their own point of view.

No Surprise Here…The Height of Hypocrisy

Obama has invoked executive privilege in an eleventh-hour effort to snatch Eric Holder’s butt out of the frying pan.  Representative Darrell Issa is rightly pressing forward with a contempt vote against Holder who has repeatedly denied, delayed, and generally thumbed his nose at congressional requests regarding the “Fast and Furious” scandal.  I personally was insulted by his assertion that this was all about the fact he’s black.  Racism may indeed be alive and well in America today but, I think it’s a cop out to throw that card in this case.  You are the Attorney General of the United States and you claim you have no knowledge of illegal, immoral, and incompetent operations happening under your watch.  In my book that means you fall into one of two categories as head of the responsible organization; criminally complicit, or terminally incompetent…Pick one and hand in your resignation!
