Delusional

Weer'd points to this site of 'gun violence survivors' (who practice 'reasoned discourse' of course). They make up some claims and lots of random statements but this one is the funniest:

Our economic lever cannot be overcome because we outnumber the NRA’s “extremist” faction by minimally 50 to 1. To establish the economic lever, NGAC will initiate targeted boycotts.

Well, according to their FB page, the 'extremist faction' of the NRA consists of 1.5 people.


Looking at their board, it's made up of all the usual Joyce and Brady retreads and bigots like Andrew Goddard, Tom Vanden Berk, Griffon Dix etc., mostly Chicago based.

Their first target? Starbucks. They hope after the negligent discharge the other day that they won't go down to a resounding failure like last year.

This is their 'grassroots' in action.

UPDATE: Dave Workman wrote about these idiots last January. They've been as effective since. Maybe they only meet in January.

21 Minutes

That's how long an 18yr old w/ her 3 month old baby was on the phone w/ 911 while armed criminals were trying to break into her home.

21 minutes.

Had she not been armed or if she had been restricted to the standards of Washington DC, etc keeping the gun disabled and w/o ammo, she and likely her baby would be dead right now.

And groups like the Violence Policy Center, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Campaign prefer that option to her protecting herself. They ALL submitted briefs defending DC and Chicago's gun laws.

Next time a gun control advocate tells you you should rely on the police and that a gun is more dangerous than a criminal. Ask them to start counting. Then start tapping them on the forehead to the count. See how long it takes them to tell you to stop. Ask them what they would do if a criminal were doing something a lot more invasive than that to you or your loved one for 21 minutes while they waited for the police to show.

Unarmed Self Defense Techniques

Trust The Gov't

Cop gives a woman a speeding ticket then searches motor vehicle records to find where she lives and ask her out.


But the Gov't would never misuse lists, would they?

Another Joyce Foundation 'Grassroots' Site

Via Weer'd, Baldr faced liar has started another 'grassroots' site, funded by the Joyce Foundation, to list shootings in order to demonize firearms. 'Reasoned discourse' is in effect.

Added to the Primer

More MAIG Double Standards

Mobile AL Mayor and MAIG member Sam Jones won't say whether he has a CCW permit after defending himself w/ a gun. Not a surprise since the organization he belongs to opposes CCW and most measures to defend yourself.

Bet he's glad those extremist gun nuts lobbied for the lists to not be public record, eh?

'Just One More Law...'

As Sebastaian TBFKASIH notes, Ant's keep touting that violent, repeat criminals will be deterred by minor laws like banning carrying. Just like this guy:

Police say fare-beater caught carrying gun with 34 bullets

Allen was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a loaded firearm, criminal possession of a defaced weapon and criminal possession of an ammo clip.

So this boy scout had a gun w/ the serial numbers filed off nevermind the possession of a gun illegal in NY and no CCW license. I won't even take any bets that he has a criminal record a mile long.

But just one more law would have made him think twice. Right?

Gun Show SCORE!!

The New Years show went pretty well. Made a few bucks, got to talk to some folks I haven't seen in awhile and oogled many pretty toys. The fastest sellers for me were socks. There was zombie ammo there and several Saiga shotguns.

Saturday had a promoter come through w/ flyers for his shows in Effingham, IL. The next one's in Feb. I'll be trying to get some tables for that one and see how I do.

The big event for me came on Sunday. A friend of mine who's been talking about a safe of guns he inherited from his father for years came by to see me. The issue has been he never had the combination and had lost the serial number #. Well, he found it and asked if I would sell the majority of the collection for him. I went over to his house after the show to see what he had. This is what first came out:

A heavily beaten up Remington 550-I, held together w/ string. "Oh No" is what was going through my head. Then he pulled out this:
A near mint Ruger 10/22. Better. Next up:
A pair of Winchester Model 1894's. The bottom one is from 1913 and chambered in .30WCF. The top on is from 1918 in .32WS. Both are fully functional.

Then came the handguns. A little Rohn RG38 (SOLD)started those out:

Two Rugers after that:

A Security Six in .357 Magnum (SOLD)

and a Vaquero in .45. (SOLD) Then came a real headshaker:

A COP 4-barrel derringer in 38spcl/.357mag. Cool. More photos: (SOLD)

I'm so tempted to keep that one just for the novelty. Definitely have to fire it at least.

So this was a profitable show. All of these are for sale. I'll probably take the handguns to a FFL just because of the hassle of shipping and the 3-day waiting period in Illinois even for shows. The longguns will be on the table. If my readers are interested in any of the above, contact me at : thirdpower@hotmail.com. I will adhere to all local, state and federal laws.

"I'm a Gun Owner Butt..." #567

Classic Fudd can't see the forest through the trees. Drops membership in his local club because they now require NRA membership. The main reason they did this?

That audit could also be useful in addressing neighbors' complaints about shooting at the gun club. Wescott said the club has gotten "numerous complaints" since the nearby Cross Hill neighborhood was developed. He noted that the club operated for decades before the development brought in hundreds of residents.

But that's not good enough for Elmer. The NRA is 'extreme':

lobbying to block laws that would restrict high-capacity ammunition magazines and semi-automatic guns, which he believes are useful only for shooting people.

By contrast, he said, rifles are "sportsmen's guns and not guns for shooting people."

So he's willing to throw millions of guns and gun owners he doesn't like under the bus as long as he can keep his 'sportsmen's guns'. Like the Remington 700. Here's what Rebecca Peters, former ED of IANSA has to say to him:

“I’m sad for you. I suppose if you miss your sport, take up another sport. Take up a sport that does not require a weapon invented for the sole and specific purpose of killing another human being.”

But this line tells the whole story:

He said he hasn't been a very active member of the club, but enjoys the occasional chance to shoot and the club's social aspects.

Yep. That's it right there. Wonder how many work days he attended to help keep the place up? He wants to have the club there for his convenience but he doesn't want to do anything that will improve it or help it survive. IOW, he's a huge 'Gun Owner Butt', more of an @ss really. Good thing groups like the NRA, SAF and ISRA are there to do the heavy lifting for him.
