NRA Hate

I know people that have legitimate beefs against the NRA. Most of them can justify them w/ logical, reasoned arguments.

This is not one of them.

'Authorized Journalist' Clarence Worly has some interesting views. He allegedly spent 3 yrs unable to buy a firearm and thousands of dollars in legal fees due to a screw up on the Brady Background Check. He doesn't think federal laws have done any good.

But he thinks the NRA are extremists and Wayne Lapierre fans the fears of gun owners and arms criminals. He quotes the 'GunGuys' and Brady Campaign hit sites to prove his case. And all his firearm owning friends are reactionary lunatics. He also apparently hasn't reported the criminals he personally knows to the authorities.

Me thinks someone needs to change their meds. Just another 'I'm a gun owner but...' twit.

CSGV PSH

You're a traitor, I'm a traitor, everyone's a traitor:




And when called on to show where we've 'preached armed political violence against our gov't' or where we've committed treason, Ladd Everitt scurried away under his rock.

Ladd Everitt, Comm Dir. of the CSGV and former head of the now defunct DC area MMM He considers the Second Amendment to be 'nonsense', doesn't believe guns were confiscated in NOLA, and likes to use sock puppets to support his boss. . Is there any question that we can't work w/ these people?

Update: They continue. Instead of actually showing evidence, Ladd Everitt decides to make libelous false associations and character attacks. He openly states that if local authorities decide to attack and kill voters during an election, defending yourself is wrong.




# @45superman @TrailerDays You might also tell it to your militia friend Schaeffer Cox and his buddies. Again, plans.

# @45superman @TrailerDays @wotc_linoge Thanks for making our case. You endorse the use of political violence when YOU perceive "tyranny."

Every time I get into it w/ the CSGV, I start getting obsessive hits from their DC office in a desperate attempt to find something, anything, they can try and take out of context to prove their claims. The only thing that's resulted from it is more traffic to my site and some patch sales.

Linoge has more of the conversation. CSGV. 45Superman. DOOT.

Gun Blogger's Lexicon

NOTE: Updates can now be seen on the page dedicated to the lexicon.

A new reader told me that they sometimes have problems following what is being talked about on DOOT and other gun blogs. They look up what they can but some of the inside jokes and terminology escapes them. I forget that sometimes. So I'm going to put up some of the most common and add others as I get them.


Ammo Serialization: Either serializing every round of ammunition of making firearms that stamp a serial number on expended casings.

'Assault Weapon': A semi-auto firearm that often looks like a military firearm. Term used to deliberately confuse the general public to think that they ARE military firearms.

'Authorized Journalists': Journalists who think they should have exclusive control over information dissemination. Usually are gun control advocates as well.

AWB: Assault Weapon Ban. Federal, state or local restrictions on 'Assault Weapons'.

Ballistic Fingerprinting: Technique where police use bullets fired by a gun to be able to allegedly trace it back to criminal activity. So far it hasn't worked where it's been tried in MD and CA but millions of dollars have been spent on it anyway. Creates a registry of legal firearm owners.

BC/VPC/CSGV/ISGV/MAIG/PEG: Acronyms for various gun control groups. They're all pretty much the same and often share 'leadership'.

'Blood in the Streets': Tired argument used by gun control advocates whenever a firearm law is relaxed and more people own and/or carry in the belief that this will cause increases in crime. Used since Florida passed Concealed Carry nearly 25 years ago and every time another state has followed suit.

Brady-Bot: Similar to a 'Joyce Puppet' except an individual, group or website created by the Brady Campaign (BC)

Castle Doctrine/Duty to retreat: Laws in relation to self defense. Putting the onus on the authorities to show that you were not defending yourself and that you can actively defend yourself w/o legal retribution by the criminal anywhere you're legally allowed to be.

CCW: Concealed Carry of a firearm. Can't see it.

Collective Right Model: The belief that the Second Amendment refers to the states forming citizens militias for defense and not of private ownership of firearms. Obsolete as of 2008 (DC v Heller and McDonald et al v Chicago)

'Common Sense': Term used by gun control advocates to try and control the debate. A logical fallacy as if you disagree w/ them, you're non-sensical

Constitutional Carry: CCW w/o a license. (ex. AK, VT, AZ, WY)

EBR: 'Evil Black Rifle'. Running joke that any dark colored firearm is inherently more dangerous . Normally an 'assault weapon'.

FFL (Dealer): Federal Firearm License: The guys that run the gun shops.

'For the Children': Attempt by gun control advocates to claim you want to see children dead because you don't support their ideas.

'Fudd': A firearm owner, often a hunter, that supports gun control measures as long as it doesn't affect them.

Full-Auto/Burst Fire: A firearm that shoots more than one bullet while the trigger is depressed.

Individual Rights Model: Stance that the Second Amendment refers to the Right of individuals to own firearms exclusive of membership/service in a militia. (DC v Heller and McDonald et al v Chicago)

Joyce Foundation: Charitable organization which funds the majority of gun control activities in the US including groups, studies, and conferences. Look at the financing and you'll usually find a link back. Pres. Obama is a former board member.

Joyce Puppet: Gun Control group, individual or online site funded by the Joyce Foundation. (ie Freedom States Alliance, VPC, etc. )

Goblin: Any criminal, thug, gang-banger, or other lowlife.

Gun Show Loophole: Attempts to force all firearm sales and transfers to go through licensed dealers while also trying to shut down as many dealers as possible.

May Issue: When a state can arbitrarily decide who gets a firearm or CCW license (ex. MA, CA, NY, MD, NJ).

'Only Ones': Derogatory term for police who feel they're the only ones qualified enough to handle firearms.

Open Carry: Carrying a firearm on your hip etc. so it can be seen.

Patrol Rifle: Journalistic phenomenon where an incredibly dangerous 'Assault Weapon' magically transforms into a highly accurate and useful firearm when in the hands of the police.

PEGheads: Members of Protest Easy Guns (PEG)

'Progressive' Firearm Laws: Anything but...

PSH: Pants Sh!tting Hysterics. Term for hysterical and nonsensical claims by gun control advocates (ex. the NRA wants to give guns to kindergartners or you can buy rocket launchers at gun shows)

PuSH'er: People who make hysterical and nonsensical claims to support gun control

'Reasonable': Term used by gun control advocates to try and control the debate. A logical fallacy as if you disagree w/ them, you're not reasonable.

'Reasoned Discourse': Term for when gun control advocates regularly censor comments on their message boards or blogs. Usually when their arguments and claims are easily refuted. Term comes from the last days of the old Brady Campaign blog where they ran a series called, of course 'Reasoned Discourse' where they highlighted alleged violent or disgusting comments they had received. This was shortly before they blocked all comments and later deleted them.

Semi-auto: A firearm that shoots one bullet w/ one pull of the trigger.

Shall Issue: CCW license issued to anyone who fulfills all the requirements (ex. TX, FL)

Shoulder Thing That Goes Up: Just outright legislative ignorance. Writing laws when you have no idea what you're talking about. Common for most gun control bills. Watch the video.

SHTF: Sh!t Hit The Fan: Any sort of emergency or crisis situation.

Wild West Shootouts: Tired argument used by gun control advocates whenever a firearm law is relaxed and more people own and/or carry in the belief that this will cause increases in crime. Used since Florida passed Concealed Carry nearly 25 years ago and every time another state has followed suit.

Union Exemptions in CCW Bill?

A reader pointed out a section of HB0148, the bill for IL CCW that seems to allow Union workers an exemption from businesses posting 'No Guns' signs:

19 (b) The owner, business or commercial lessee, manager of a
20 private business enterprise, or any other organization,
21 entity, or person may prohibit persons holding a permit for
22 concealed firearms from carrying concealed firearms on the
23 premises and may prohibit employees, not under a collective
24 bargaining agreement, not authorized by the employer, holding a
25 permit for concealed firearms from carrying concealed firearms
26 on the property of the employer.

This is repeated again in the next section. I betting they meant that it couldn't be in violation of the contract if it was specified but this could be interpreted to mean businesses cannot bar Union employees from carrying.

What May Issue Looks Like

An IllinoisCarry member went to a local PD to get fingerprinted so he could apply for an AZ CCW permit.

They refused. Their reason?
"It's an ethical issue," she replied.
Trying to get who's 'ethics' are being compromised has resulted in no names or answers.

This is what arbitrary licensing would look like in IL.

Illinois Happenings

All sorts of things going on in Illinois right now.

On Thurs, the day of IGOLD, the case Wilson v Cook County was filed to overturn the nonsense 'Assault Weapon' ban in place there w/ reference to the 2nd Amendment now applying to the states.

Also filed was ISRA v ISP, calling for a restraining order against the release of FOID data. A TRO was put into place and a hearing is set for Tues.

There is also an issue w/ the FOID's and a new requirement that all individuals, including those whose religions prohibit it, have photos on their cards. This is specifically directed at the IL Amish community.

HB 148 (CCW) has 37 sponsors currently and will be hitting the floor soon.
