Proud to be an 'Insurrectionist'

Dedicated to those who would have worn Red Coats and called themselves 'Loyalists'.

@CSGV Discriminates Against Physically Handicapped

Apart from them always trying to play the race card, the CSGV also endorses laws that discriminate against those with Physical Impairments they deem unacceptable:

#NRA law in #Kansas allows those w/ "physical infirmity which prevents safe handling of a weapon" to carry guns... http://fb.me/10JsWcA8d

And they continue to flat out lie about Mexican guns while ignoring 'Fast and Furious':

20,504 guns traced from Mexican crimes to U.S. gun stores & gun shows in 2009 & 2010. #p2 #politics #congress... http://fb.me/AOZULgNh

The article says no such thing.

Is there any level they won't go to to try and ban guns?

Dishonest to the Core

The VPC and PEG-heads are squeaking about a new WSJ piece claiming

"American-Sourced Weapons Account for 70% of Seized Firearms in Mexico"

Well why don't they mention these parts of the article in relation to its misleading, inaccurate headline:

The findings come as the ATF defends itself against congressional critics for its Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation, which lawmakers say inadvertently eased trafficking of weapons to cartel gangs.

and:

The ATF said it traced the guns based on information provided by Mexican authorities. The Mexican government doesn't submit every firearm it recovers for tracing.

They don't mention it because they need to deliberately confuse the public (just like they do w/ 'Assault Weapons') and let them believe that information from the historically corrupt Mexican authorities and a US Gov't agency under investigation for gun trafficking and impeding congressional investigations is enough to put MORE restrictions on guns.

They are dishonest to the core. Just another foundation of the cult of gun control.

Disparity of Justice

In Illinois, you can receive up to 15yrs in prison if you record an on-duty police officer.

The same number of years that you could get for RAPE .

How I Became A Gunnie

Jennifer wants to know what got me into guns.

When I was a kid, I was like every other boy. I liked playing guns and watching war movies. I only shot a real gun once when I was about 10 or so. A .22 semi-auto handgun that my dad had. Took it out to my uncles and shot up an old junk pile. There were a few old rifles but they never left the gun rack in his den. I didn't shoot again till Navy boot camp, 8 years later, 30 rounds of .22 out of a converted 1911. Didn't touch another one the entire time I was in (6 yrs).

After that I joined the National Guard and got to shoot an M16 and M2. Didn't know much about guns but enjoyed shooting. A few months later, a buddy of mine in college introduced me to WWII re-enacting. I learned that one of the old rifles in my dad's den was a K98 Mauser. I was encouraged though to pick up a 'beater' one to take out into the field since the one my dad had (and gave me) was in really good shape. So I did. That was the first gun I bought and my first dealings w/ firearm bureaucracy.

I got to know the FFL I bought it from and he'ld send me E-mails about things that were going on. My dad had also given me the other rifle in the rack, his old Marlin. I fixed it and cleaned it up and signed up for a target shooting class at the University. When I got there, no class. I went to the office and the lady told me the class had been cancelled and added w/ a sneer "If you want to learn how to shoot guns, it shouldn't be at a University."

Then I went online. I started surfing a couple of message boards, etc and getting involved in debates, learning as I went. I discovered the old Brady Campaign blog and what really made me a 'gunnut' was reading the stuff they put out and discovering it was outright nonsense. They were lying to me. And the people that supported them reminded me of the old bat at school. That's what did it. That's what tipped me to one side of the fence.

From there I found Democratic underground, Kevin Baker and Sebastian-PGP. Over that time I picked up a few more guns and got more involved in going after the Anti's. Sebastian-SIH told me flat out to start my own blog and DOOT was born.

Over the years I've met quite a few pro-gunners in person and others still via online. I enjoy shooting but I don't do it enough to be in the same caliber as many of the competitive ones. I'm a plinker. I've signed up as a life member for the NRA & SAF and work w/ ISRA and Illinois Carry to try and get our rights recognized in Illinois.

And I've enjoyed the ride.

Bread & Circuses

China owns most of our debt ,which is so huge we're never going to recover, and will likely be drilling for oil in Texas.

Our Southern Border is becoming untenable w/ no reaction by the Gov't except to ship more guns to the narco's.

The Dept. of Educ. has SWAT teams raiding (the wrong) houses to collect default loan payments.

The most pressing matter in DC was to ban 100W incandescent light bulbs and talking about Weiner's weiner.

And according to Nielson, we spend on avg. 20% of our time watching TV w/ the top two shows being Dances w/ the Stars and American Idol.

Time to stock up on ammo, nails and seeds.

Chicago Mobs

Not Al Capone and the classic gangsters but 'Flashmobs' of 'youth' attacking individuals in large groups via modern media.

The city's response is to put out more police in areas where there tend to be tourists.

Look for the next reaction to be attempted restrictions on cell phone use.

Look away now!

Ya just gotta wonder where Anthony Weiner got the idea that other people wanted to look at his trouser snake.

Ya ya ya, I was going to Hell before this, so whatever.

Still Relying on Ignorance

Now that the gun control groups have been laughed at for endorsing the AQ video's claims of 'fully-automatic assault rifles' being available at every gun show, they're switching their claims.

Just like Colin Goddard did yesterday, they're jumping on the 'conversion kit' bandwagon, trying to convince people that it's as easy as filing down a part or installing some new ones.

Conversion manuals are easily found online and a General Accountability Office investigation found that investigators were able to obtain all of the parts necessary to convert a semi-automatic AR-15 to a fully automatic M-16 at gun shows in five states.

All the sources are of course paid gun control advocacy groups, not the GAO direct. So we again return to the fact that they are either flat out lying and/or relying on outright ignorance of the public to make their claims.

And we'll keep asking, if these 'conversion kits' are so common, cheap, and easy, where are all the crimes committed w/ illegally converted firearms? Where are the arrests?

Oh, right, there are near zero because, like I said yesterday:

At best, they are do-hickeys designed to bump-fire the gun. At worst, they're more likely to be death traps to the operator of said 'converted' gun than to have it firing full auto.

Real conversion kits are regulated by the BATFE the same as machineguns and getting some parts means you have some parts, modifying the weapon takes precision machining that if done improperly will make it more dangerous to the operator than the target.

But gun control advocates don't want to hear that. They need the ignorance to pass their laws.

Can't Control the Weiner

Rep Weiner (D-NY9)tweeted pics of his schlong then lied about it when it went viral.

Well this Brady Campaign Endorsed Representative is pretty typical of those who endorse gun control, he can't control himself so he projects his own shortcomings onto others, thinking they are as unable to contain themselves as he is.

Talking Off Script

Sometimes gun control advocates make our lives easy. Just a few weeks ago, I got the Brady Campaign's current poster-child, Colin Goddard, to admit that he disagreed w/ the outright opposition of his organization to Concealed Carry while at the same time he was out stumping for them. Nice little bit of conflict there.

Today we again got him talking off-script after he promoted the Al Qaeda 'fully-automatic assault rifles at gun shows' video. I asked him if he endorsed that belief:

@TrailerDays No, but assault rifles with full auto conversion kits + manuals can be bought w/o background checks.

Well never mind the 'assault rifles' gaff, I mentioned that real 'conversion kits' are regulated by the BATFE just like machineguns. He tried to move the goalposts:

@BrisketChuckle @TrailerDays I watched my buddy buy an AK-47 w/o a background check in Dayton, OH, same again in Richmond, VA

@BrisketChuckle @TrailerDays And I found conversion kits and manuals so commonly I honestly forgot where.

After reminding him it wasn't an 'AK-47, I asked him where these 'kits' were:

@TrailerDays @BrisketChuckle Glad the "real" ones are regulated! Tough to find an example of "fakes" b/c transactions go without paperwork

Well Linoge jumped in and asked him why there weren't tons of illegal machinegun convictions each year if they were so 'common'. He tried to move the goalposts again:

@BrisketChuckle @linoge_wotc @TrailerDays But right, we don't see "arrests-headlines galore" - could that mean registration systems works?

Well I couldn't let that one pass by:

@clgoddard @BrisketChuckle @linoge_wotc But you just said the kits are unregulated so there should be conversions galore. Where are they?

After flailing around a bit more when asked where all these kits were, his final response was this:

@linoge_wotc they're not advertized online but on tables at gun show

That's right. Super secret products sold ONLY at gun shows put on exclusively for Akmed the Dead Terrorist and his friends to come and blow up Americans for NRA profits.

I'll be honest. I've seen those 'conversion kits' and 'manuals'. At best, they are do-hickeys designed to bump-fire the gun. At worst, they're more likely to be death traps to the operator of said 'converted' gun than to have it firing full auto.

But Colin doesn't know the difference of any of it. Once he gets off the controlled scripts provided to him at press conferences, he's completely lost and he comes across as just a pretty face w/ a sad story, reliant exclusively on talking points and sound bites, all of which we've demolished before.
