Here’s an interesting Image of the Antis:

Now what’s really interesting is first those Tylenol Deaths were from a 3rd Party tampering with bottles, nothing was WRONG with the Tylenol as it left the factory, but at some point somebody poisoned it. The safety was just to clean up the killer’s mess.

The Pintos likely weren’t as dangerous as Ralph Nader claimed, but Ford recalled them anyway just to save face.

But what about the guns? Is there anything WRONG with them? No, further as gun ownership and sales numbers increase, the homicide rate has been DROPPING. This is NOT a sign of a defective product.

We don’t see a recall of cheap beer or booze when young people drink too much, or go drinking and driving. We don’t see the recall of cars used by drunk drivers…even the Delmont 88

Instead these a criminal acts, and the behavior, and the people committing the behavior are the ones punished.

Oh and don’t tell the antis about the number of guns that ARE recalled every year, because that takes a weak argument and blows it up!

Found this interesting Image from a particularly despicable Anti-rights fanatic:

Now first up, I’ll note that even in the more extreme views this is NOT open-carry, but brandishing firearms. One of my big issues with the long-gun open carry flap is so many of the people posing for photos have their slung rifles in a firing grip which is NOT analogous to somebody walking around with a Glock in a holster. There have been many images of people with their rifles slung across their backs, which is perfectly fine IMHO…if we’re talking about carrying a rifle for day-to-day tasks/activism. I still prefer just carrying a pistol or two because if I was expecting to need a rifle, I’d just stay home, and I don’t want to lug around all that extra gear.

Still since I like two-point slings, I really dig on African Carry for rifles:

It also has the added benefit of your hand that controls the rifle being on the forearm or magazine well rather than on the pistol grip, and unlike slung across the back you still have a hand on the rifle controlling it.

Next minor issue, why would these gentlemen be concerned about open carry? You can carry a Desert Eagle or a folded carbine concealed dressed like that!

Still the major point whoever created that image (I have no idea who created the original photograph that the text was added, nor the context of it) is that somehow people who support the 2nd Amendment are RACISTS who would HATE to see armed blacks.

Still if these gentlemen are not prohibited people, and they go out without their hands on the grips of their guns, and they indeed conduct themselves as gentlemen, who cares what color their skin is, or how they dress?

Of course the bottom line is THIS anti who’s putting up this image IS a racist…but like most mentally ill people, just assumes EVERYBODY feels the same way he does.

A bunch of other bloggers have covered this, still as a person who’s guns are registered I need to expel my rage to this story:

When questioned by the deputies about reported disturbing videos he had posted online, REDACTED told them he was having trouble fitting in socially in Isla Vista and the videos were merely a way of expressing himself,” the sheriff’s office said in a written statement.

“Sheriff’s deputies concluded that REDACTED was not an immediate threat to himself or others, and that they did not have cause to place him on an involuntary mental health hold, or to enter or search his residence. Therefore, they did not view the videos or conduct a weapons check on REDACTED.”

….Kelly Hoover, a spokeswoman for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, would not elaborate on why no weapons check was done, and declined to confirm whether there would be an internal investigation of the visit.

Now this guy was not, as the media calls him, a “Mass Shooter”, he was planning on using knives, hammers, and other otherwise benign equipment to torture and murder people. The guns were the backup, and because his plan failed so badly he had to fall back to the guns. This very well could have been a story exclusively for the “Gun Death?” Files if things had gone well with his plan, and his plan was not outlandish. He attempted to enter a sorority house as they were preparing for a party, and they didn’t answer the door. Not answering the door saved those women from being hacked to death and threw him off his game enough to make this killing spree as small as it was.

Still what’s the damn point of a registry if it isn’t used by the police for calls like this? Might this case have been handled differently if they had discovered the guns along with all the threats he had publicly made?

Meanwhile California DOES use it’s registry to confiscate guns from lawful citizens. No other state or country that has a registry has ever used their registry for the benefit of public safety. While California may want to enact a policy where the registry is watched more often during police calls, and we’ll see if that oversteps bounds. I’m betting it will. Still we should be talking about DESTROYING registries not USING them.
