Us vs Them pt II

I posted the other day comparing photos of the ICHV 'event' and IGOLD. So did Illinois Carry on their FB page w/ a compare graphic. 

As of 3:30pm 4/13 has 715 'likes, 1996 shares!!, and 63 comments. 

Of the ICHV FB page post w/ the most support, it has 57 'likes', 4 shares and 12 comments but only 3 are shown which means they are conducting 'reasoned discourse' and deleting opposing views.  I actually saw some of the comments and 'liked' them before they disappeared but didn't get a screencap.

Now take a good look at the 'Advocacy Day 2013'  photos they've put up and compare them to the IGOLD photos.  What you do NOT see (besides large numbers of people) amongst the various close-ups, 'STOP' signs, peace symbols, pre-printed organization signs, and even a Chicago flag becomes obvious. 

There is not one... single.... US flag being flown (or from what I can see, worn) by any of the demonstrators.  Not one.

Even the Governor isn't wearing one.

 It certainly does show where their loyalties lie, doesn't it? 

OGRE 6E Sponsored Counter Sheets Page Up

It's fun to be one of the cool nerds. We get our own page to show off our dream sheets for OGRE 6e.  All 8 $4.5K level sheets are listed w/ pics, details and ordering information (if currently available). 

One other nice thing is many of us worked together to make the sponsored sheets as varied as possible and also to enhance each others. I'ld like to give special thanks to Walt Freitag for adding a Nihon OGRE on his 'Uncommon OGRES' sheet to expand the playability.

If you haven't yet pre-ordered your Nihon: North American Divisions sheet.  Go forth here. Then go and order all the rest you can.

Us vs Them

The Joyce Puppet ICHV held an "Advocacy Day".  They have lots of close-up photos of attendees and the politicians who attended touting the '95% of people want gun control' polls.  But here's the real story:

Now compare that to IGOLD attendees.

So I still wonder why the responses to the poll and the attendance at the rallies are inverted? 

Note that while Quinn showed up for the ICHV rally, he  cowered behind his secretaries and fled his office during IGOLD.   Also note that the trib doesn't show any actual photos of the rally.

Another 'Unbiased' Anti-Gun Poll

Headline: Majority of Illinoisans back gun-control proposals: poll 

 Bunch of BS numbers.

 The reality:

pollster Al Quinlan, whose Washington-based firm does work for Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence commissioned the poll

Yeah. OK.  Do I really need to say anything else about this?

Quinn/ICHV Call for Race/Socioeconomic Based Gun Control

IOW, 'May Issue' Concealed Carry.  They want to be able to prohibit anyone they don't like from having a license.The ICHV thinks that's a 'great idea'.

Gun Control is racist at it's core.

Fake but Accurate

Some parody (I think) Brady anti-gun ads found on the web:

Crime in Pictures Pt III

Via GSL comes more 'teenagers' (and as John points out, illegal immigrants in a 'sanctuary' city) who the anti-gunners would list as 'children'. 



Both members of a gang, they decided to go out on a revenge killing and ended up killing another child, 14 yr old Michael Orozco.

From the trib and Sun Times.

 Police said the suspects and the victim were documented gang members. 

Police said Michael was affiliated with a gang and that the three taken into custody were rival gang members.

Shocking, isn't it?  And of course momma says he was an angel who never did anything wrong.

According to the CPD, 70% of the homicide victims in Chicago have criminal histories but that won't be mentioned when anti-gunners like the ICHV bemoan 'children involved in gun violence' (like the other half-dozen 'teenagers' shot over and since the weekend).  Countless laws were broken by the shooters/accessories but denying ME my rights and making even more laws would have made them think twice.  Duh.

MAIG Sockpuppets in Action

So not only is Bloomberg's MAIG using your tax dollars to pay for anti-gun activist employees in cities, but they're also going around on pro-gun message boards ' and promoting MAIG anti-gun bills w/o mentioning their affiliation.

 with this new ad that has this commenter’s exact same Pennsylvania-themed message, I decided to Google his name. Turns out that he’s a co-founder of a new anti-gun group in his city that is promoting MAIG-funded efforts in Pennsylvania. Of course, he never disclosed such affiliations when he was trying to tell gun owners to cool off their activism. Isn’t that just convenient?
I do find it interesting that Bloomberg’s allies are now trying to infiltrate pro-gun groups online in an effort to convince gun owners that there’s nothing to worry about and no reason at all to call lawmakers. I think they are tired of the fact that we’re not just going down quietly.

 Deception and lies are all they have.  They know that their bills will do exactly what we say they will so they have to go and be as dishonest as they can to try and convince people otherwise.

Violent Crime in Picture Pt II

Remember the 17yr old gangbanger that wasted his grandpa to go out and buy some new tats?
Well meet the killer Grandma who helped him carry out the shooting because she was 'sick' of her husband. 

Prosecutors alleged Janet Strickland and her grandson, also named William Strickland, discussed killing her husband on multiple occasions.
Before the shooting, Janet Strickland told her grandson that she was “sick” of his grandfather and that she wanted him dead, prosecutors allege.

No 'gun control' law would have stopped these two brainiacs from killing the old guy.

Public Support for Gun Control

An ICHV/MoveOn organized anti-gun rally in Rockford, IL gets 12 attendees.

An impromtu counter demonstration by pro-rights advocates gathers 17.

 The ICHV is holding another 'rally' in Springfield on the 11th.  wonder if they'll manage to get 8000+ like IGOLD does.  Pics would be appreciated.

Update:  I love this headline: Group Boycotts Sale of Guns at Local Stores

Again the media using words they don't know the meaning of.  NONE of those 12 people would have ever bough anything at the store so they're not 'Boycotting' anything.

Nevermind that it doesn't mention anywhere the minimal turnout. 

Gun Show Goodies

As I said yesterday, accessories were hit or miss at the show. Outside of ammo, gun and mag. prices were back down to normal retail.  All those nitwits paying $2k for an AR and $75 for mags are hopefully kicking themselves now.

Anywhoo, for one reason or another, my tables were a 'hit' so I treated myself to some wants and some needs. 

On the 'Needs', A bit back I traded my 1911 for a Baretta 92s. Unknown to me at the time, 92S accessories are a bitch to come by. It's an older model and the mag release is in a different spot than on the more common F and FS models (I'm thinking it was for 'teacup' style) so I was having a hard time finding a replacement grip (I didn't like the smooth walnut) and extra mags. Well one dealer had both.  I picked up a set of checkered rubber grips and a Pro Mag 92F mag that had the catch for the S model.  The grip was a wraparound which I didn't like so I trimmed the front and installed.

Then the 'wants'. Another vendor had an odd looking AK bayonet that neither he nor I knew the specifics on.  I took a couple of pics and did some research (netbook w/ wireless card be handy) and learned it was a Vietnamese model. I cried 'IT MUST BE MINE' and bought it.

Unfortunately, I had one of 'those' encounters at the show.  I response (although I was likely going to anyway), I purchased a Nowill design Israeli Combat Knife and just as an extra 'Eff off' I made sure numerous others knew of said encounter's views so he won't be getting much love at the next show. 

A good (though very long) weekend.
