What is it with Miami Police spokespeople?

Do they have some sort of mental dysfunction about telling the truth?

In Miami, authorities say the proliferation of assault weapons led to an increase in killings, from 56 in 2005 to 79 in 2006 and 86 so far in 2007.

"You just pull a trigger and 20 or 30 rounds come in a second and in those 20 rounds you're sure to hit your intended target and some innocent bystanders, totally unlike a firearm that is just one bullet every time you pull the trigger," Miami Police spokesman Willie Moreno said.



Is he a contemporary of Jenne?

Hiding their tracks a little more...

It was noted over on Huffpo that the Brady Campaign website is no longer prominently displaying "StoptheNRA.com" on their header bar. The site is still active though.

I guess the hypocrisy of sending out a mailing from advocacy@stopthenra.com regarding the support of an NRA sponsored bill even struck them as ridiculous.

Things that make you go "Huh".

Alleged gay advance cited in rape

| Male suspect accused of sodomizing man with broomstick

A Cicero man angry about an alleged homosexual advance raped the man he claimed propositioned him, and then sodomized him with a broomstick, officials said.



Translation: "I hate gays so I'm gonna' do you up the rear to show you how much I hate gays".

Yeah, that makes sense.

Strong (but admittedly circumstantial) evidence..

As has been noted here and other blogs, most recently WOG and SharpasaMarble, several blogs containing racist and other highly offensive and discriminatory remarks have disappeared from sight. This is the information I have available on the original Troll/NRAFOREVER:

Days of our Trailers: Obviously they don't teach the concept of Irony at Bucknell

I'll let others post their own information.

Gun Control and Racism II

A comment by Uncle on less ammunition being turned in than guns in Argentina reminded me of an article in the New York Times from 1885 that I had come across. It quotes Gen. Crook on the general policy of disarming Native Americans:

"It is not practicable to disarm Indians. Their arms can never be taken from them unless they are taken prisoners with their arms in their hands, while engaged in fighting, by sudden surprise or disableing wounds *** The disarming of Indians has, in almost every instance recorded, been a farcical failure. Let me cite the case of the Cheyennes who surrendered in 1878. They were searched with the greatest care when they were confined, and it was believed with the fullest success; yet when they broke out of prison at Ft. Robinson, Neb, they appeared well armed with guns and knives and ammunition."

The article continues:

The Cheyennes already have learned from their agent and in other ways that the Government would like to disarm them, and if the troops undertake to deprive them of their rifles and ammunitions a collection of almost worthless weapons may be turned in, but their best arms will be hidden for the use of the warriors who will not hesitate long about turning them against the whites.

This was in response to a Gov't program of keeping the entire population on a reservation providing less than 4 acres of tillable land per person (one person nominally needed 10-20 depending on farming techniques) and using the military to force them back onto it if they tried to leave to get food resulting in the deaths of uncountable numbers of Native Americans.

From an article dated 1880:

It is true that the sale of arms to "uncivilized or hostile" Indians is prohibited; but that is another matter. The military forces often disarm Indians on a reservation as a military measure; but the power to take away implies the power to restore. Finally we discover in the dispute about hunting privileges that Mr. Stephans's rule is, that "if Indians wish to go more than fifteen or twenty miles from the agency they are required to obtain a pass." It seems, then, that Indians, having given up vast tracts of country to the whites, and having taken small reservations instead, are not allowed the free use even of these reservations.

Sound familiar?

Take as many guns away from them as we can, starve them to death, and restrict their movement thereby reducing their ability to fight back when we take even more land and rights from them. If they do fight back, kill them all. They're not white so who cares, right?

These are the types of historically racist and genocidal policies that are followed by gun banners to this day.

Racism and Gun Control.

To complement ArmedandSafe's post on the subject:

Alex T. Riley of Ceasefire PA has made the claim the the modern firearm rights movement started as a reaction to the race riots of the late Sixties and that those that support said rights do so in fear of blacks and hispanics. To counter this, I present the words of journalist Robert Sherrill, no friend of gun owners, from his book "Saturday Night Specials":

The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed not to control guns but to control blacks, and inasmuch as a majority of Congress did not want to do the former but were ashamed to show that their goal was the latter, the result was they did neither. Indeed, this law, the first gun-control law passed by Congress in thirty years, was one of the grand jokes of our time. First of all, bear in mind that it was not passed in one piece but was a combination of two laws. The original 1968 Act was passed to control handguns after the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been assassinated with a rifle Then it was repealed and re-passed to include the control of rifles and shotguns after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy with a handgun....

Hmm. It would seem that the modern movement started as a reaction to a knee-jerk reaction. Did people purchase more firearms during the riots? I wouldn't doubt it. That is a well established trend following discord. That, however, does not a political movement make. Why would a movement to keep firearms need to be started unless legislatures were trying to take them away?

But I digress.

In 1988, the Chicago Housing Authority and CPD started the program known as "Operation Clean Sweep". This involved warrantless searches of homes,
mandatory sign in/out rosters, and visitor exclusion rules that included
family members and children. This resulted in the case Rose Summeries, et al. v. Chicago Housing Authority, et al. The CPD and CHA chose to limit their activities instead of going through the courts. Firearms, however, are still banned from CHA buildings.

Virginia courts have upheld a similar ban in the Richmond Housing Authority (Richmond Tenants Org. v. Richmond Dev. & Hous. Auth.) while Federal legislation (HR 3838) was proposed, along with the states Washington and Oregon, in 1994. Maine attempted to ban firearms in public housing in 1995 but this was struck down.

So not only are "gun control's" very origins rooted in racism and efforts to control what are deemed by them to be undesirable elements of the population, their efforts in the latter half of the 20th Century continue this oh-so-fine tradition. This is re-enforced by Obama touting his wife's words:

And by the way, Michelle, my wife, she was traveling up, I think, in eastern Iowa, she was driving through this nice, beautiful area, going through all this farmland and hills and rivers and she said 'Boy, it's really pretty up here,' but she said, 'But you know, I can see why if I was living out here, I'd want a gun. Because, you know, 911 is going to take some time before somebody responds. You know what I mean? You know, it's like five miles between every house.'

And then adding:

"So the point is, though, we should be able to do that, and we should be able to enforce laws that keep guns off the streets in inner cities because some unscrupulous gun dealer is, you know, letting somebody load up a van with a bunch of cheap handguns or sawed-off shotguns and dumping them and selling them for a profit in the streets."

In other words, it's alright for the rural folk but you can't trust those 'people' on the streets.

Now what demographics would fall under those brushes again?

What does that say about the support PuSH'ers have?

Update: YAY! I bumped Google.

Don't fret Alex

We haven't forgotten about you.

Yet they want the Gov't to keep more lists..

and can't even keep theirs straight:

Both campaigns lists' had some sloppy record keeping: misspelled names, churches listed in incorrect cities and beside incorrect names. But, like Clinton's list, Obama has some other substantial inconsistencies.

So Obama and Hillary are adding names to pretend they have more support than they really do. I guess they're taking lessons from the Brady Bunch who have done the same thing and tried the same spin to cover their lies.

Real AP ammo or "media" AP ammo?

That is the question.

Rapper Yung Joc was arrested for having a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage (shock, yes I know). He then is released on bail and decides to skip his court appearance. Prosecutors are stating that he also had AP ammo.

""He is alleged to have taken a loaded firearm with 20 rounds of ammunition into the airport. It is also alleged that some of the ammunition in his possession was armor piercing."

Apparently he had a CCW license from somewhere or at least claimed to have one so this is looking like a case of stupidity that he is domino-ing by not showing at his hearing. If he had actual AP ammo, he's screwed.

Merry Christmas to us.

In a conversation last night w/ my ultra-liberal (but still my favorite) cousin:

Me: Westroads forced people who had completely legal CCW licenses to disarm themselves if they wanted to shop there. Why shouldn't they be held liable when something happened?

Cuz: Huh. I never thought of it that way.


And two certain blogs have gone down the memory hole to join their bastard siblings in oblivion.

And a Happy New Year to come.
