Images of the Antis: Just Stupid

Ok first just a short-sighted bit:

Ahh that whole “Weapons of War!” canard! Nice! Yep because the rifles we have are EXACTLY the same as the military is carrying in the middle-east! Or maybe they’re saying the US is a War zone? Well except for the War on Drugs, and the War on Poverty, and the “War on Women”, no.

Also while you’ll hear from idiot military Brass who probably can just barely qualify with their issue arms about how we need more gun control, I think most vets not only A) want an AR-15 and a pistol close at hand just because they’re comfortable with weapons and B) Know the difference between an AR-15 and an M4 Carbine. They aren’t scared of guns, they know its just a tool, and it’s the man behind the gun that is the thing that needs to be looked at.

Next is this childish scribble:

Man just when I’d thought I’d seen all the caricatures that made Florida look like a penis, then there’s this! And the Pan-Handle appears to be the HOG end here.

Now the tag at the bottom is #remembertrayvon who was justifiably shot. Given that I assume the other cases were also ruled by police or a court of law (tho it wouldn’t surprise me if murder cases that are pending trial were also counted, because if you’re anti-gun you can’t play fair!) these were JUSTIFIABLE homicides. These are people trying to kill others who got killed in self defense.

If they so happened to be 16 and 17 year old career criminals like Trayvon Martin, that doesn’t bother me any more than if they’re in their 30s.

Remember anti-gun people are also anti self-defense.

“Gun Death” Spree Killing

No guns, no media coverage:

An Illinois man has been convicted of murder in the beating deaths of four people, including a toddler, during a week-long two-state crime spree in which eight people died in June 2008.

…Authorities said all eight of the victims appeared to have been chosen at random and had been bludgeoned or hacked to death.

Now if he had used a gun, this would be national news, but he didn’t. When Ted Bundy beat women to death at random it was HUGE news, but today only “Gun Death” counts!

Rotten to the Core

When things go wrong with a government agency, it’s nice to know nobody was watching!

All of the 470 senior executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs received annual ratings over the last four years indicating that they were “fully successful” in their jobs or even better, according to data released at a congressional hearing on Friday, despite delays in processing disability compensation claims and problems with veterans’ access to the department’s sprawling health care system.

None of the department’s senior executives received either of the two lowest of five possible job ratings, “minimally satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory,” in any of the past four fiscal years.

The data also showed that in 2013, nearly 80 percent of the senior executives were rated either “outstanding” or as having exceeded “fully successful” in their job performance, and that at least 65 percent of the executives received performance awards, which averaged around $9,000. Only about 20 percent received the middle of the five ratings.

Veterans Affairs officials sought to play down the data, saying that only 15 senior executives across the entire federal government had received either of the two lowest ratings in the most recent year — suggesting that the high ratings enjoyed by V.A. officials were not out of line with those of their counterparts at other government agencies.

Yep people were dying. Not just any people but US Armed Service Veterans, which is BETTER than “just people”, were dying waiting for care, and the people overseeing these horrible failures got great performance reviews and bonuses! Of course this also means the people overseeing the top management couldn’t be bothered to do THEIR job either.

Also look at that last paragraph in the quote. How many more agencies aren’t doing their damn jobs and getting healthy bonuses for it?

Hey it’s not like the overseers are giving them their OWN money! Public till money is “Free Money” to government hacks!

They should be going to jail, but instead we gave them raises and bonuses! Classy huh?

Images of the Antis: Redoux

This is interesting. I just found a pair of images that had a remarkably similar message of other images covered here:

First up was from the other day:

Now in the first Image the American kids are trying to talk the South and Central American kids out of settling here because you KNOW America with all their guns, we’re so dangerous!

This one the US School kids are actually EVACUATING the country. First up, we keep talking about border security and a fence to keep people OUT not IN. It isn’t like Mexico and Canada have a huge problem with United States Illegal Aliens. Mexico has a problem with Illegal Aliens, but they’re all from Central America looking for the “Better” life in Mexico. Of course Mexico just trucks them to the Rio Grand and tells them to start swimming or they’ll kill them.

Of course given Mexico’s violent problem with the Cartels and that nation’s problem with Kidnapping (with the police often doing the dirty deeds!) I really don’t think those kids would be smart to head south to flee danger.

Really the only thing missing from this from this cartoon is having criss-crossing bullets flying over the US Side, because it seems that all anti-gun cartoonists the bullets in this country are like moths around a porch light!

Next up the cartoonist clarified a question I had.

Ahhh you see there is BLOOD IN THE STREETS and WILD WEST SHOOTOUTS (trademark: Anti-Gun hysteria) from open carry activists and the Stand Your Ground people.

First up, nope, no there isn’t, and second, as if they aren’t one in the same? but hey, Antis, you’ve never been right about your violent predictions before, so just keep making them! It never hurts to be opposed by fools when you’re fighting for your rights!

“Gun Death” Machete and Bad Justice

Man, stories like this…

A $2 million bond has been set for a central Ohio man who police say killed his father with a machete.

…Neighbors tell reporters that *REDACTED* had moved in with his father and the father’s preschool-aged son in Heath last month after being released from prison.

The younger *REDACTED* had served 11 months for assaulting a peace officer.

Known violent offender murders a family member, and “Access to firearms” wasn’t a factor. Hey, but let’s focus on guns, because there was NOTHING ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE to prevent this story, right?

Images of the Antis: Lies

This one is rich!

First up, Mass shootings are not on the rise, when you factor in the rate due to the population growth it’s on the DECLINE!

School Shootings generally aren’t, and our nation is only safer in recent years.

BTW how do South and Central Americans treat guns and gun ownership? Hmmmm I don’t think that’s the message this cartoonist was attempting.

And While We’re at it Have a look at this one:

Well except not. Looking at those “Unintentional Injuries” closer: Motor Vehicle accidents, drowning, falls, burns, are all more of a risk. The CDC doesn’t bother with firearms injuries because it isn’t a relevant number. Now in 0-17 years (CDC for some reason likes to lump in 18 and 19 year-olds as “Children”) cancer isn’t a big killer, it really doesn’t get nasty until we get older, so they MIGHT be right. Still Firearms kill a ZILLION TIMES more than meteor impacts, so obviously we should ban guns!

“Gun Death” Beating

Why would anybody need a baseball bat!?

A Chicago man convicted in the savage beating of an Irish exchange student, which left her unable to walk or speak, faces up to 120 years in prison when he is sentenced on Thursday.

…REDACTED, 35, was found guilty last October of bashing two young women over the head with a wooden bat and robbing them in April 2010, including Natasha McShane, then 23, a graduate student from Northern Ireland.

The attack, which took place in a neighborhood popular with young adults, brought international attention to the problem of violent crime in Chicago, the country’s third-largest city. It also stirred Chicago’s large Irish-American community, which held fundraisers on McShane’s behalf.

Note the article’s mention of “Violent Crime Problem”, see this wasn’t a “Gun Death”, so the people who are concerned about this savage attack are noting the VIOLENT CRIME, not just gun crime. Because a young woman crippled is the tragic part of the story, not the tool used!

How Do you Carry?

This is a neat little post from Tam:

There’s a certain level of comfort associated with carrying the same gun.

I used to definitely do the whole “If it’s Tuesday, I must be carrying the Luger” thing. And I understand the desire, even if you’re carrying concealed, to have something cool-looking or pretty on, whether anyone else can see it or not. If people weren’t like that, they’d sell nothing but tighty-whities and granny panties in stores and Joe Boxer and Vickie’s Secret would be long out of business.

I just don’t do the CCW as fashion statement anymore. I haven’t for a while. I change carry guns only marginally more frequently than the country changes presidential administrations. I sometimes miss the “Whatcha carryin’ today?” easy conversation starter among fellow gun nuts (“Same gun I’ve been carrying since you’ve known me, why?”) but maybe the time savings from not having to select a gun and holster in the morning is worth it.

I’ve never been one for the “Firearm Fashion Show”, I have three carry guns. S&W1911Sc in a Shoulder holster if I’m out and about for the day and can wear and appropriate cover garment. Kahr PM45 in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster if I can’t conceal the 1911, quick trips around town, or I think I’ll be rolling around on the floor with my daughter where the 1911 just digs into my ribs. Ruger LCR .357 if I want something lighter than the PM45, or I feel I can better carry the reload for the LCR how I’m dressed. It’s that simple. Also I have a S&W642 that I never carry anymore. It’s a great gun, but the LCR does everything it does, but better. The 642 is just a backup for my backup.

For pocket knives I often do do the “Fashion Show”, but I’m finding that to be more rutted than it was in the past. Now I tend to just carry my CRKT Carajas, which has essentially supplanted the CRKT Premonition for much the same reasons as the LCR supplanted the 642.

So how do you all roll?
