It Gets Even Worse

I did it.  I know I shouldn't have but I did.  It was sitting there.... staring at me.  I knew it was going to be bad but that niggling part of the back of my mind just had to find out 'how' bad. Kind of like when someone tells you something smells bad you just have to take a whiff.

What did I do?

I clicked on a Salon article.  Not just any article but one w/ this headline:

A gun lover sees the evils of gun culture: White supremacists, Obama haters, and me 

Just to give you that same whiff I got:

 But before I let go of my gun forever, I wanted to hold it again and fire it. I wanted to experience the repugnance that a device created solely for the purpose of killing human beings should evoke.  Worse, what if I wasn’t repulsed? I needed to know.

The rest is a continuation of self-reinforcing tripe, stereotypes, and loathing that has become typical of anti-gun 'literature'.  Just enough researched details to make it plausible but there were still things that made me wonder (like calling a gun a 'piece' as "the noun preferred by the cognoscenti" , then I read the author's mini-bio:

Matt Lallo lives in Baltimore, MD, and has written restaurant reviews for the Baltimore Sun and Baltimore Magazine. He continues to write topical articles and short stories.

Yeah, that explained the smell.

Easter Chicago Style

2 Dead, 9 Wounded in Easter Weekend Shootings

 Any Questions?

Irony

I found it interesting that CSGV made a point to mention that both Sarah and Jim were life-long republicans. Reading their "supporting" comments on facebook, I thought they hated republicans and wished death upon them.

That's why my standard response to all the vitriol directed towards the party that is less douche-baggy toward the 2A will be something like...


CSGV supporter: The ammo-sexual rethuglicans are ruining this country!!!!!!!!

Kaveman: You mean like Jim and Sarah Brady??????

teehee

She's Dead, Give Us Money

W/i 24 hrs of her dying, the Brady Campaign is whoring her memory for donations:

I’m sure there were times when she felt frustrated, exhausted, and discouraged. But her determination to change the landscape of gun violence in this country never faltered. I know she would want us to continue this critical work to expand Brady background checks and keep crime guns off our streets. Your support helps us make her vision a reality—and we need it now more than ever.

Is anyone really surprised?

More of Ladd Everitt's .@CSGV Double Standards

Somebody made an 'app' that allegedly is being used to post names and addresses of 'gun control activists' according to the Soros funded "ThinkProgress"*. Ladd responds:

“Harassment is par for the course,” said Everitt, who is the communications director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence in Washington, D.C.

He would know as he personally posted the real life names, states, and at least one alleged workplace of pro-rights advocates on Twitter and other Social Media in order to intimidate/harass us.

Remember that Ladd?  Openly supported by numerous of your cohorts.

Or the time you supported the filing of child endangerment reports against another firearm owner after libeling him?

Remember that Ladd? 

He probably does but since all of those at the CSGV (and most anti-gun fanatics) have proven to be pathalogical liars, they'll never admit it.

*Then there's all the 'It's the NRA's fault" and "If they come to my door I will shoot them" posts. Ironic, eh?

Sarah Brady Dead.

I'm not going to be crude but I'm not going to be nice either. 

She took her advocacy beyond the issue directly related to her husband's shooting and expanded it exponentially. She spent years crapping on constitutional rights and lending her name to those who did everything they could to ban/confiscate guns nation (and world) wide.

I will shake the dust of her memory off of my feet and continue to oppose everything she wasted her life fighting for. 

Survey: Most Gun Control "Research" Biased

 A majority of gun researchers believe that strong gun laws help reduce homicide and that a gun in someone’s home can make it a more dangerous place, according to recent surveys conducted by Harvard University.

Can we say "Confirmation Bias" boys and girls?  Not that this is any news to those involved.  We've seen for years the shoddy 'research' bought and paid for w/ anti-gun grant money to create their flat earth 'science'.  Now we at least have it from the source that they aren't producing non-partisan work.

Some Of Them Are Stupid

The debate about CCW on College Campuses continues. The opponents throw out every stereotypical meme they know.

Allowing CCW will increase shootings.

"You may be arming the victims," she added, "But you'll also be arming the perpetrators."

Gun owners are racist and want to shoot black people.

 The women said they deal every day with racial stereotypes, which could be aggravated by the ready presence of weapons.

Trayvon & SYG.

 Andrade cited the death of Trayvon Martin and the state's "Stand Your Ground" law,

But they support firearm ownership:

"My family, we love guns, we own guns, butt...

Ignorance, lying, and racism w/ a token pro-2A comment.  It's like they go off a script.
