Making Sarah Brady Cry

Day 1 of the Gun Show. The location is in a mall. How more 'mainstream' can you get? It was so packed I didn't even get a chance to eat lunch. Sold several firearms and tons of 'insurrectionist' paraphernalia including Gadsen flags, copies of The Prince and Art of War, Toy Soldiers, SAF Literature, surplus uniforms, UM patches and more. The show organizers signed up/renewed dozens of members for the NRA and that's just what I was able to notice from my table.

And a good percentage of that money is going to go back into supporting the ebil 'gun lobby' and pounding the gun banners into the dirt where they belong.

Been There, Done That Joan

Joan Peterson, Nat'l Board Member of the Brady Campaign is upset we won't have a 'talk' and be 'reasonable':

The fact that I don't agree with you does not mean you can pummel me with your specious arguments to get me to change my mind. Send me real facts and maybe we can talk. Stop your ugly blogging about us and maybe we can all talk. Stop insulting me and maybe we can talk.

Right after saying this:

To deny it is to put your head in the sand which some of you do either intentionally or unintentionally. I can't tell which when you guys give me your lame excuses for this problem.

No, Joan. I don't want to 'talk' to you. I want to see your cause thrown on the dung heap of history where it belongs. I want to see you ridiculed by the masses in the same way as those who have supported other bigoted, racist and discriminatory policies over the decades.

You've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that 'facts' don't matter to you and you have no interest in anything other that wanting us to give up our rights. You 'boohoo' over us being mean and nasty bullies while at the same time making your own brand of insults and character attacks as well as endorsing some of the most nasty vitriol you decry on the other fork of your tongue. So spare me the platitudes and your attempts at sounding 'reasonable' and wanting 'compromise'. Your actions have shown you want none of those things.

You say you're going to 'push back' when people call you on your BS, stupidity (because that's what it is) and lies? Why do you think you're getting the responses you are? Because we're pushing back against you and all your ilk for years of crapping on gun owners. Unlike the 9-5 activists which make up the majority of your side, we actually care about the issue w/o having to be paid for it and we do it 24-7. And that's why we're going to win while people like you are going to be remembered in the same vein as George Wallace.

UPDATE: And cut the crap Jason. You 'outed' yourself and are supporting a person who openly endorsed the publicizing of personal information and photos in order to harass firearm owners as well as supporting it yourself you hypocritical POS.

Ask For Help, Get Prosecuted

Anti-Gun advocates like Josh Sugarmann try and attack us for opposing having PTSD declared a disqualifying factor in firearm ownership. The reason being to do so would discourage those who really need help from seeking it, afraid they will be punished for doing so.

Don't believe that would happen? Think again.

The federal government broke a promise, according to the lawyer for a Navy veteran facing criminal firearms charges after he called for help on what is promoted as a confidential suicide prevention hotline.

Did the guy need help? Definitely, and that's why he called. Now he's being punished for it and fewer people who need help will trust the system.

Half-Truths From 'Authorized Journalists'

What does a 'Journalist' do when he wants to do an anti-gun hit piece but can't find the data to support it? Why add other data to it, say it's all gun owners being criminals, then refuse to release the data knowing you'ld get caught.

As Weer'd states, they are consistent.

Stupid and Stupider

So Joan Peterson, Brady Campaign/Joyce Foundation board member, fresh from having her @ss handed to her for trying to play the race card and calling a zombie a 'black person', decides, instead of apologizing or admitting her error, to double down and call gun owners a bunch of zombies for not rolling over and submitting to her 'Common-sense' solutions to gun ownership. Unsurprisingly 'Baldr' jumps to her defense.

They apparently cannot comprehend that demanding all sales go through FFL's right after a post supporting a PuSH'er demanding that gun shops be closed makes them look even more the idiots. Yes, they really are this dense.

Calling the Irony Meter Repair-Person

How can you do anything but get a laugh out of this?

I mean really. A group of about 4 people in a DC office exclusively funded by the Joyce Foundation to do Google searches hyping a 'report' from a so-called news agency paid (by the Joyce Foundation) to produce anti-gun/NRA hit pieces.

But that's OK. While they're focusing their attention on the NRA (who for the most part ignores them), they don't have enough resources to focus on the work being done by the SAF, the dozens of state level organizations and the tens of thousands of real grassroots activists that are keeping things moving along.

And I'll keep laughing at them.

Straight From The Obama Administration

Sebastian TBFKASIH has video of AG Holder proposing new Federal gun control.

In Chicago, former Obama Chief of Staff and current Mayor Rahm Emanual, fresh from handing the SAF a nice check, is calling for statewide handgun registration:

The handgun registration certificate ($65 initially) would include information about the owner, the make and model of the gun, as well as where and when the firearm was bought. Registration applicants would also need a valid firearm owners identification card.

Owners and dealers would be required to notify Illinois State Police whenever a handgun changes hands. The registration certificate would last for five years, and cost $25 to renew.

Handgun owners would also have to tell the state if their gun gets lost or stolen, or they could face misdemeanor charges, according to the mayor's proposal. People caught in possession of an unregistered gun would be slapped with a felony.

Umm, No. Not only would this do absolutely nothing to curtail crime, it's solely designed to increase the cost of owning a firearm and punish victims of crime.

IL State Rep. Dist. 110 Election

W/ the shifting around of districts after the last Census, we're losing longtime State Rep. Chapin Rose, currently running for State Sen. Dist. 51 near Champaign. There are three candidates vying for the GOP slot and none for the DNC.

Rep. Roger Eddy: currently the State Rep. for the 109th dist. Endorsed by Rep. Rose and State Sen. Dale Righter as well as the ISRA in 2010.

Brad Halbrook: I spoke w/ him on the phone. He called me to discuss gun rights after I sent an email. Opposes AWB’s, mandatory reporting and would repeal FOID. Admits he's still learning about issue.

Kevin Garner: Haven't yet received a response to my inquiry but his issues page states he's a 'Registered gun owner' and NRA member. Not sure what he means by 'registered' since we don't require that in IL, outside of Chicago and a few suburbs. According to sources he is also an ISRA member and supports RTC.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Joan Peterson, Nat'l Board member for the Brady Campaign and leader in a Joyce Foundation puppet group, tries to play the race card on a zombie ad.

When it's pointed out to her that it's not a 'white man' pointing a gun at a 'black man', she doubles down on the stupid:

And yet another interesting opinion. Why a gun aimed at a zombie? A zombie is an "undead" phantom. Why is the zombie made to look like a black man? There are many faults to be found.

The picture doesn't look like a "Zombie" to me. I think it's a stretch on the part of you guys. If the photo is supposed to represent what most people think "zombies" look like, it was poorly done, to say the least.

Really? So what do 'Zombie's' REALLY look like? She's used to the brainless, shambling masses involved in the anti-gun world so may have got confused.

It really goes to show her mentality that she chose to see the photo in a racist light and then chooses to refuse to acknowledge that it has nothing to do w/ that at all. She needs to see racist and evil intent in everything 'gun nuts' do. Otherwise she has to recognize us as people and individuals. To do so would destroy her world view.

Self-Defense Not 'Sane'

Ladd Everitt at the CSGV isn't the only one who opposes you defending yourself against a violent beating if you use a gun, take a look at the very first comment. It's by Andrew Goddard, bigot extraordinaire, President of the Virginia Brady Campaign/MMM chapter and Chairman of the Board of the NGVAC.

They don't care about reducing violence, they only care about reducing guns, no matter who it may hurt. They would rather see a person beaten, stabbed or raped than have them use a gun in self-defense and they have proven it over and over.

UnPossible in Massachusetts

You really have to love the Brady intern. He has no sense of irony whatsoever:

And where is this occurring? Why Boston, MA. Home of MAIG founder Menino and 3rd in Brady State Rankings. Good thing those 'strong, common-sense' gun laws are working so well for them.
