Where Great Britain Used To Be....

British schools put cameras in bathrooms, lockers  

 Over all, Big Brother Watch estimated that British high school students and staff are monitored by more than 100,000 cameras, with 90 percent of the schools surveyed acknowledging the use of some form of video surveillance.

But here's the truly sad part:

Bowes, the principal of King Ecgbert's, said she has received no complaints.
"Everyone knew about the cameras in the bathroom," said Jess Hogg, who graduated from King Ecgbert last year. In a series of Facebook messages, the 19-year-old said: "Personally it made me feel a little uncomfortable, but then safe at the same time.

That is the bleating of a sheep you hear. It goes along w/ individuals also opposing self defense against criminals, trusting in the goodwill of someone breaking the law.

Elliot Fineman Projects

On another one of NG(V)AC's stupid 'Fact' theme, Elliot projects his own desires regarding firearms:

Now remember, this is a guy who's claimed to regularly witness road rage incidents/movie fights and morally equates that to murder because all people are criminals to him.  

Having read his writings for awhile and watching several interviews, I'm seriously wondering if any of these alleged incidents actually happened or if they were all him imagining himself attacking people for talking in movies or cutting him off in traffic since his reality is completely skewed. 

Gun Control is a mental illness.

Sometime over the last two weeks, I completely missed that this collection of fancy 1's and 0's on the intertubes not only turned 5 years old but passed the 700K unique visitor mark.

Don't you people have lives?

Josh Sugarmann, head of the Joyce Foundation puppet group 'Violence Policy Center', has put out another 'report' making it seem that Nevada is a death trap for women and that owning a gun is more dangerous than being married to Drew Peterson.

Nevada Once Again Leads Nation in Women Murdered by Men
Most women are killed not by a stranger, but by someone they know, usually an "intimate partner" (a spouse, common-law spouse, ex-spouse, or boyfriend).
FBI data reveals the predictable role played by firearms in escalating domestic violence to domestic homicide.
Another study found that women who were murdered were more likely, not less likely, to have purchased a handgun in the three years prior to their deaths, again invalidating the idea that a handgun has a protective effect against homicide.

 Etc. You get the idea.  Of course these 'studies' are also performed by Joyce Foundation grant recipients w/ a predetermined conclusion.  Now let's look at the real numbers w. a thanks to reader LE45:

Thirty five women were killed by men in Nevada in 2010.

Less than half (15) were killed with firearms.

11 of those were killed with handguns.

 6 of those shot with handguns were in an intimate relationship with the men who killed them

So again Josh takes a small subset of statistics and manipulates them to make it sound like there is an epidemic of violence in order to mislead the public.  IOW.  Lie. 

Guess he's got to justify his paycheck somehow.

Modern Brady Campaign 'Activism'.

They're going to watch the debates and shill their e-books.

Yeah. That's how they're going to change the world.  By hosting 'Debate' parties and pray that someone mentions gun control. I'll bet that the organizers of last weekends gun show signed up more new NRA members than Colin gets attendees at one of his 'parties.

  They are shills for an impotent, dying organization and belief system that uses dishonesty and fear as their building blocks.  It's no wonder they never mention Colin Goddard blatantly lying about his military service or his complete fabrications on gun shows. No mention by Andrew Goddard of his religious bigotry towards Mormons either.  Colin and his dad have made careers out of victimhood and all they're going to get in the end is disappointment.

New horse, still dead but remarkably pretty

First of all, I apologize for the title. I'm not really sure what it means but it was the first thing I thought of when posting this concept which my buddy and I talked about 2 years ago.

We're all keenly aware of the meme of "Hollywood guns" glamorizing violence.

I want to add a twist of lime.

For those who know me, know that I haven't watched TV since 2001, the reason I will explain in a future post. I don't even have a TV inside my home since it is not worthy. I do own the one sitting in the garage collecting dust and rat turds.

But I do remember...

Is it just me or is the true glamorization in Hollywood the rouge LEO who breaks all the rules to nab his man.

Are we being conditioned that rules/laws/Rights should be violated in the off chance Clint Eastwood has a good read.

Do we fight for one Right or all?

I got the Zombie invasion covered in spades; I'm just not sure I'm prepared for something even slower and more insidious.

Keep and Bear with me.

Gun Culture 1.0 vs Gun Culture 2.0 in Picture

To expand on Sebastian TBFKASIH's discussion.  The 'Partisans' from Fortress America.

New York City Logic?

A grown adult cannot legally purchase a soft drink over 16 oz.

A minor can be given, without their parent's knowledge, a 'morning after pill'. A medication needing a prescription if under the age of 17.

How exactly does this make sense again? 

Carolyn McCarthy Seems Worried...

So she's appealing to her 'True Believer' base w/ all the buzz words sure to get a self-proclaimed 'progressive' to open their wallet (the only real goal of a politician).  'Tea Party', 'NRA', 'redefine rape', 'Ryan plan'... The works.

They've refused to pass common-sense gun control measures, a bipartisan compromise reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, or even a real jobs bill.
Instead, the Tea Party and their NRA friends are using all their energy to put lie-filled ads on our TVs and in our mailboxes.
There are only six weeks 'til Election Day. I need your help to get ads up to set the record straight every single time the NRA and other special interests attack me.
We need to keep our field offices running and supplied with enough resources to reach the 100,000 new voters in my district....
 My opponents are fighting each other to see who can be more radical, more extreme. Mark my words: if either wins, they 're going to vote for the Ryan plan, let the NRA set its own rules on gun control and let those who want to redefine rape take away our rights.

Just for those who don't know, here's Carolyn's idea of 'common-sense gun control':


So I think she has the right idea.  Make a donation to what you think should happen to her campaign.

More Fun W/ the Craigslist Scammer

Continuing the conversation here. He sent me an email asking if I've deposited the check (the one sent to the ISP Director).

 Hello how are you doing today! Have you deposit or cash my check?

Get back to me Asap.
 
Thanks  donaldduke2004@gmail.com

So I responded:

 I did not receive the check although it is being shown as delivered.  The PO doesn't know where it is.  Here is the # for the PO and the Postmaster.
Anna Segura-Abernathy (217) 786-7107

Maybe you'll have better luck finding it.

 Oops, that's not the postmaster, that's the ISP Springfield District Commander.  My bad.

Pulling an ACORN

Remember ACORN?  That allegedly non-partisan group that was involved in advising how to start a brothel and countless voter fraud debacles?

Whatever happened to them?  Oh, right. They 'disbanded' and then just renamed themselves.

Now we see 'Ceasefire Illinois' (alternating 'Chicago') playing the same game.  After numerous scandals involving criminal activities, they are rebranding themselves as 'Cure Violence'. Same people. Same offices. Same everything, just a different stationary header. 

I'm sure they'll cure all ills now.

Gun Show AAR

I would call it a successful weekend when I leave w/ more stock than I arrived with and still made some decent money.

While it wasn't lines around the block/shoulder to shoulder busy, it was steady from Friday afternoon through Sunday.  Some vendors did better than others.  So pretty normal. Lots of shotguns and AR's. Accessories and reloading were pretty light with a few ammo dealers and three surplus dealers including me. 

Surprisingly little political talk outside of the normal chatter. The occasional wingnut did decide they wanted to talk.  Again normal.  The only odd experience was Friday.  I had two separate guys within an hour of eachother who wanted books like the Anarchist Cookbook, Mein Kampf and the Turner Diaries.  They both seemed excessively 'eager'. Wasn't asked for anything like that the rest of the weekend. So... local loony or plant looking for a 'Wintemute' moment? 

'Chief AJ' of Top Shot fame was there with his 'Tactical' Slingshot bow. 

Next show from this organizer is Dec. 15 & 16.
