Mayor Daley – Idiot of the Day

Seems the Mayor of Chicago thinks an inanimate object (a gun) is responsible for the massacre at Fort Hood last week. It’s not the religion of death – Islam. It’s not a crazed and evil follower of Islam. It is the fault of several semi auto handguns and America’s love of guns that killed 13 people and wounded more than double that number.

This is coming from a mayor in a city with strict gun control laws and a state with even more strict gun control laws – and still home to gun violence greater than the national average.

GUN LAWS DON’T WORK

Ft. Hood

What greater example of a situation where gun laws are ineffective than what happened at Ft. Hood this past week?

When you read the accounts and it was realized that a civilian police officer is who took down the terrorist, did it not make you stop and wonder? This was, after all, a military base. Military – those guys and gals who are trained in the world’s most formidable weapons. Those individuals who put their lives on the line so that you and I can remain free.

They were in a “gun free zone”. GUN FREE ZONE. On a MILITARY BASE.

Attention all terrorists: want to kill a lot of US servicemen and women? Go to a military base and hone in on the “gun free zones”. You see, most military people are honorable men and women and obey their laws – so chances are none of them will be armed.

Gun Control is Racist

I read a sign recently that said “Free men own guns. Slaves don’t.”

Longrange wrote this piece a while back tracing the roots of gun control in this country and showing a lot of the racist roots behind it.

Most African Americans, according to several studies I’ve read, favor stricter gun control laws. On the one hand, I can understand their concerns about gun crimes, because Black on Black crime is a substantial problem. However, they need to think this through. Do they really want someone else being responsible for their well being? Has anyone ever really looked out for their best interests? I think not.

Neither does this lady. You can read the lyrics here at the firingline.com

Gunman Kills 21-year-old student in Connecticut

21 year old Johanna Justin-Jinich is dead. Gun laws didn’t stop her attacker.

A Massachusetts man murdered a former girlfriend in a college bookstore restaurant in Connecticut last Tuesday. He fired seven shots.

And from this article:

“An official with knowledge of the investigation told The AP that police stopped Morgan shortly after the shooting, spoke to him and let him go, only to later realize he was a suspect.
When police confiscated Morgan’s car they found a journal in which he spelled out a plan to rape and kill Justin-Jinich before going on a campus shooting spree, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation.”

How many more students might have died if Morgan had gone on with his threat of a campus killing spree?

By the way: Connecticut law prohibits carrying guns on college campuses.

Some other useless Connecticut gun laws:
•A permit is required to carry a handgun on or about one’s person, or in a vehicle.
•The applicant must successfully complete a handgun safety course approved by the commissioner.

A permit to carry is required to carry a handgun outside one’s home (even though one may still be on his own property, i.e. there is no express “curtilage” exception) or in any “place of business” in which one is merely an employee, not an owner or operator.

A permit is also required to transport a handgun back and forth between one’s home and place of business, or to and from a range for target shooting.

I like this guy’s idea.

To protest the fact that students cannot carry on campus, a weeklong campaign is planned in which students will wear empty holsters to class, protesting the fact that they cannot carry on campus.

Now just imagine, for a moment, if Connecticut students were allowed to carry on campus. And imagine there had been a permitted student there in the bookstore where Johanna worked.

Imagine a dead Stephen P. Morgan instead of a Johanna Justin-Jinich.

Restaurant Manager saves the Day with a Gun – in a Restaurant that Bans Firearms

Restaurant with anti-gun policy saved…by a gun.

No need to add anything to this article except to point out that the criminal, who has not yet been caught, will most likely have been in possession of a gun illegally!

By the way…I am a “licensed to carry individual”, and if you don’t want my business, just put up a sign that says “no guns”. I’ll go elsewhere – because sooner or later, you will be visited by an “unlicensed to carry criminal” and I don’t want to be in your place of business when that happens.

Attention: Louisiana Gun Owners

If you are a gun owner and live in Louisiana, you need to get on the phone or online and contact the representatives listed in this alert. (See below for the link).

Next Tuesday, May 12th, the Louisiana House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice will consider two bills concerning 2nd Amendment Rights. One needs to be shot down as soon as possible. The other is long overdue and should be passed quickly.

HB387 would severly restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms and magazines and would require that present owners of these items register them with the State Police and have to be licensed to own them. It also would allow the State Police to physically inspect private homes for compliance! THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND A TOTAL INVASION OF PRIVACY. THIS MUST NOT BE BROUGHT UP FOR A VOTE!

HB 27 would allow Louisianians with Concealed Handgun Licenses to carry their firearms for self-defense on college campuses. THIS MUST BE PASSED. NOT ALLOWING LICENSED CONCEALED CARRY HOLDERS TO CARRY ON CAMPUS MEANS IT’S OPEN SEASON ON COLLEGE STUDENTS FOR ANY NUT JOB WHO WANTS TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE AT AS LITTLE RISK TO HIMSELF AS POSSIBLE.

Dont’ wait, Louisianians. Call or email now – and do it again Monday. The bills will be considered at 9:00 am Tuesday morning.

College Student Shoots Home Invaders and Saves Lives

{Hat tip to Herm}

This week, in College Park Georgia, a brave young man was able to protect himself and his friends against two armed and masked home invaders by using a firearm to shoot and and kill one of the suspects and scare off the other one.

A group of students were having a birthday party when two thugs burst through the patio door with guns, obviously intent on murdering and raping. One of the students grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at both intruders, mortally wounding one of them and no doubt saving his friends from death and/ or rape.

Full story and video report here.

Guess who is not allowed by law to possess firearms:

The following persons are not allowed by Georgia Law to keep, own, bear, wear, and/or carry firearms; any person convicted of a felony offense, Any person who has previously been convicted of or who has previously entered a guilty plea to the offense of murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, or any felony involving the use or possession of a firearm and who shall have on or within arm’s reach of his or her person a firearm during the commission of, or the attempt to commit:
1. Any crime against or involving the person of another;
2. The unlawful entry into a building or vehicle;
3. A theft from a building or theft of a vehicle;
4. Any crime involving the possession, manufacture, delivery, distribution, dispensing, administering, selling, or possession with intent to distribute any controlled substance
5. Any crime involving the trafficking of cocaine, marijuana, or illegal drugs

Wonder if either of the two thugs had ever been guilty of any of the above? Yeah…I thought the same thing.

Carrying a pistol without a license: You must have a license to carry a handgun, openly or concealed, outside of your own home, place of business, and motor vehicle. If you are carrying a handgun to or from your home or place of business and cross over any property not owned by you, then you would be in violation of carry a pistol without a license if you did not have a license.

Think either of these thugs had a license to carry? Neither do I.

Thanks to the College student, the only dead guy is one who deserved it.

Now watch the media go after the college kid and demonize him and turn the thug into the victim.

Miami Officials Call for Assault Weapons Ban

A masked gunman opened fire on mostly other teens with an AK-47, killing and wounding several individuals. At this time, the criminal has not been captured. The Miami Police Chief and others are calling for a nationwide ban on “assault weapons”.

Miami’s crime is higher than the national average.

Sounds like it’s a culture problem, not a gun problem.

From Webster’s Dictionary:

Assault:

A violent physical or verbal attack
A threat or attempt to inflict offensive physical contact or bodily harm on a person (as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner)

So a fist is an “assault weapon”. I think all fists ought to be banned from the streets of America.

By the way, here’s a few gun laws of Florida:

It is unlawful for:
• any convicted felon to have in his or her possession any firearm or to carry a concealed weapon unless his civil rights have been restored.
• The following persons to own, possess or use any firearm – drug addicts, alcoholics, mental incompetents, and vagrants.
• To sell, give, barter, lend or transfer a firearm or other weapon other than an ordinary pocketknife to a minor less than the age of 18 without his parent’s permission, or to any person of unsound mind.
• Any dealer to sell or transfer any firearm, pistol, Springfield rifle or other repeating rifle to a minor.
• A minor less than 18 years of age to possess a firearm, other than an unloaded firearm at his home, unless engaged in lawful activities.
No licensed gun dealer, manufacturer or importer shall sell or deliver any firearm to another person until he has obtained a completed form from the potential buyer or transferee and received approval from the Department of Law Enforcement by means of a toll-free telephone call.
Florida has mandatory sentence enhancements for any serious felony, such as murder, rape, aggravated assault, burglary or robbery, committed with a firearm. The penalty is increased if a machine gun or a semiautomatic firearm with magazine capacity of more than 20 centerfire cartridges is possessed during a serious felony or narcotics offense.
It is unlawful to knowingly discharge a firearm in any public place, or on the right of way of any paved public road, highway or street or over any road, highway, street or occupied building, except in defense of life or property, in performance of official duties or where expressly approved for hunting.
It is unlawful to have or carry a firearm in the presence of one or more persons and exhibit the firearm in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manners, except in cases of self-defense.

So what does this tell us after the recent shootings in Miami?
