Or the Calm Before the Storm…

NBC News story tells Americans they’re ‘wrong’ to think crime is rising, blames ‘conditioning’ of press [More]

A slight decline over such a short interval hardly signifies a trend, especially if those claiming happy days are here again can’t provide numbers to explain their suppositions.

I don’t suppose Kevin Dilanian wants to take a stroll through some of the places he’s giving the “all clear” for…?

Say, you don’t suppose NBC News is just trying to quiet jitters and shore up pre-election Democrat numbers, do you…?

We’re the Only Ones Securing the Blessings of Liberty One Menacing Extortion Demand at a Time Enough

“You’ve been watching too many shows and reading too many books,” the agents respond. “I’m sure we’ll find you again someday.” [More]

What are “the agents” names? That bullying arrogance needs names and faces attached to it.

Why did he talk to them at all? Any denial that can be proven false is a felony and a lifetime gun ban. They’re obviously trying to entrap him and from what I’m hearing, they may have unless he surreptitiously gets rid of it.

And why does the tab in the USA Today article read “Conspiracy theories abound…” ? What “conspiracy theories” does the “real reporter” document? Or is this just more of what we’ve some to expect from Gannett Publications…?

Funny, how the first heinous act of supprerssor abuse they could come up with to show how they’re too dangerous to trust the public with was:

A former Los Angeles Police Department officer armed with a Glock pistol and AR-15, both affixed with silencers, shot and killed four people in February 2013.

And in any case, they did not establish how the suppressor on the gun made it any more deadly or allowed the perps to get away with it, or had any more effect on what happened than the color shirt the killers wore. Hey, when you have a herd to spook, they’re not apt to sense a correlation/causation logical fallacy.

If You Need More Than 10 Rounds You Shouldn’t Be Defending Yourself

“In the right hands, a weapon can save lives. The war demonstrated this — whenever weapons were present, disasters were smaller,” he said in late October. “A gun can save a family, and an assault rifle can save a building. A weapon can protect you, your family, your street and your country.” [More]

But only in Israel and not here, if you believe WaPo.

And why wouldn’t we?

Much Ado About What, Exactly…?

To be able to say a gun is destroyed, disposal companies crush or cut up a single piece that federal law classifies as a firearm: the receiver or frame that anchors the other components and contains the required serial number. The businesses can then sell the remaining parts as a kit: barrel, trigger, grip, slide, stock, springs — essentially the entire gun, minus the regulated piece. [More]

That’s breathless “real reporter” Mike McIntire’s big scoop?

The Newsraper of Record doesn’t trust its readers with any part of what was once a firearm and demands those be reserved for that violence monopoly they want to see imposed?

Not that I’m defending the economic fascist “public/private partnership” gun destruction companies, even if some unintentional good does come out of their little sweetheart deals…

Pregnant Pause

Firearms fallout: Study says pregnant women who lived through D.C. sniper trauma had complications [More]

Way to lay the blame on the Bushmaster instead of on the sick f***s on a killing spree. Shame on whoever wrote and approved that headline. And on the “real reporter” who unquestioningly parroted conclusions…

I’d expect it from citizen disarmament agenda pushers masking as “social scientists,” but the “conservative” Washington Times ought to know better.

And as I recall, much of the public hysteria followed Moosehead living up to his name.

Funny, how the politicans who will exploit this will all have Planned Parenthood endorsements.

The Ostalgie Factor

When the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was signed into law, it was a time of hope for common sense gun control. That time quickly ended. [More]

A time of hope for whom?

Anybody with a brain (and more than a bachelors degree in a major that didn’t require actual knowledge and a career in a privileged collectivist bubble) saw it for the unworkable and treasonous usurpation of undelegated power that it was.

But I’m sure anyone closed-enough to get their “news” from MSNBC is wailing over paradise lost…
