The Antis and Their Perpetual Misunderstanding of Stand Your Ground

Wow let’s talk Stand your ground for just a second after looking at this.

Audio File here. LISTEN TO IT, it’s quick.

Here’s the transcript, but it doesn’t do it justice:

his organization founded by Gabrielle Giffords, you remember her, the former Arizona congresswoman that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck suggested should be murdered, the one who was critically wounded in a mass shooting in 2011, she calls it ‘the most extreme gun bill in America.’ The NRA, which they’re behind this of course, they want guns everywhere. Jesus Christ! I would like to invite one of the NRA board members, and I’ll be armed, let’s just get this over with, OK? Come on down to Georgia and I’ll be packing heat and you be packing heat or whether you want to or not, I don’t give a damn, it’s up to you. And you come, meet me someplace, and all of a sudden, see, we have stand your ground here, and all of a sudden I’m going to feel real goddamned threatened by you! And I will shoot you! If I feel threatened. The law says I can! Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!

Listen to his voice! UNHINGED and filled with hate. Not to mention completely fact free.

Still It further shows that the anti’s crusade against self defense shows that they’re crusading against the demons in their sick minds rather than reality.

This one minute clip has done a LOT of damage to this man’s future if he ever chooses to carry a weapon (and don’t think because he’s a “Progressive” and anti-gun that he won’t) and needs to use it.

What he is doing here is making a case for a future First-Degree Murder case against him. He is saying in a safe radio studio about a hypothetical situation that “He will feel threatened” and use it to shoot somebody he doesn’t agree with politically.

Now in the event he ever needs to defend himself, this clip will be admitted as evidence and it will make a defense trial VERY difficult.

Further, in another hypothetical, let’s say Mr. Malloy engages in a heated discussion in a public place with somebody who is pro-freedom, and Mr. Malloy makes some furtive gesture like reaching in his pocket or tucks in his shirt tails, he potentially COULD get shot, as this clip implies that A) he owns and carries a gun, B) He’s willing to murder people over a disagreement of opinion, and C) Potentially is mentally ill.

Now it would hardly be either an open-and-shut case, or “The Perfect Crime” (not that political murders are ever perpetrated by political conservatives) , but it WOULD be a case.

Now this doesn’t just happen to the left, and this is NOT a partisan post. I’ve occasionally heard gun owners express some foolish bravado about hoping to use the gun, or wanting to see what XYZ Brand hollow-point does to a person. Also I will point out that all of the above cases are all foolish bravado, and I suspect Mr. Malloy is not nearly as brave when he’s standing on his own in public, nor am a particularly impresses with gun owners who brag about how tough they are.

I know REAL tough guys, and they NEVER brag. They Never Brag because they neither need too, nor do they WANT to. REAL tough guys HATE when they have to be tough.

Still these foolish statements put you in a lot of legal jeopardy, and that goes double for people who do it in a public place or over a mass media.

And all this coming from a dude who’s opposed to Stand Your Ground…because they only are concerned about the reality they create.

OK REALLY Cool!

Looks like there may be yet-another NCIS Spinoff. This time the location is New Orleans, and the star is Scott Bakula.

For the character he got a very distinctive Croc-skinned paddle holster. Who made it? Dragon Letherworks!

Damn, I’m thinking I’m going to need to ask him about some holster designs I want before he becomes too cool to deal with a loser like me!

Linoge has screenshots from the Pilot!

Dragon Leatherworks! I knew him when he was a nobody, and he hasn’t changed a bit! 🙂

“Gun Death” SxSW Festival

South By Southwest festivals are a pretty big draw. Now the Austin Festival is the site of a “Gun Death”.

Police are waiting to file capital murder charges against a suspected drunken driver who plowed through a crowd of South by Southwest festival-goers early Thursday morning in downtown Austin before they identify him.

Police Chief Art Acevedo said the man will face two charges of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault. The name of the suspect is expected to be released Thursday afternoon, Acevedo said.

Police also clarified who was killed in the incident. One of the dead, a man from the Netherlands, was riding a bicycle near the intersection of 11th and Red River streets when struck. The other, an Austin woman on a moped, also was killed. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Another man on the moped is in stable condition, Acevedo said.

Pretty Horrific. Note that if these people had been attacked with a gun rather than a car, this would be a “Mass Shooting” and would be international news. Since it was not a “Gun Death”, its hardly worth noting.

Only “Gun Deaths” count because “Progressives” like to drive their cars, and if they might have polished off a few bottles of wine during dinner, that’s none of your damn business!

NRA Doubles Down on Yee

The NRA is pointing out this page of Senator Yee’s own website:

For his commitment to ending gun violence, Assembly Speaker pro Tem Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/Daly City) has been named to the Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll by the Brady Campaign. The Brady Campaign will honor Yee and other state legislators from throughout the country who earned an A+ for working against gun violence at a reception during the National Conference of State Legislators in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, August 16, 2006.

“More than nine children are killed each day as a result of gun homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings in the United States alone,” said Yee. “While I am proud to stand up against the gun industry and support violence prevention efforts, it is unfortunate that such legislative measures are still needed to end these senseless acts of violence.”

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and its legislative and grassroots affiliate, the Brady Campaign, is the nation’s largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence.

I grabbed a screenshot of the page in case somebody tries to Memory hole it. It likely won’t be Yee because I don’t think he’ll get much computer access from his cell.

I wonder how many of those people killed with guns was because of his gang friends he was just connected to….

Quote of the Day: New York Times

They might as well run up the white flag!

This bill is evidence that cynics were wrong when they said nothing would come of the surge of attention to guns after the Newtown, Conn., massacre in December 2012. Since then, The Times reported, 70 laws have been passed to loosen restrictions.

Go ahead and read the whole thing. Its a hand-wringing anti-gun screed of anti-freedom fear-mongering. Still at the end he simply admits that the anti-gun activists are getting dashed against the rocks.

Even their Daddy Warbucks, Michael Bloomberg won’t be able to buy them the pony they want.

Which Anti-Gunners Aren’t Criminals

Anti-gun Senator Leland Yee charged with a slew of Federal Crimes.

California state Sen. Leland Yee has been released from custody and his lawyer says the Democrat from San Francisco plans to plead not guilty to corruption and gun charges.

…Yee’s lawyer, Paul DeMeester, declined to discuss the charges against the senator in detail, saying the 137-page criminal complaint will take time to read and fully grasp the criminal case. But DeMeester says the senator plan to plead not guilty to six charge of public corruption and one count of conspiring to sell guns without a license.

Very serious charges. What’s really scarey is the dude who worked so hard to keep even the most neutered AR and AK semi-auto out of the hands of lawful California Residents was apparently trafficking black market full-auto AKs from Russia THROUGH Gun-Utopia New Jersey for sale to dangerous criminals.

Public safety has NEVER been a concern of the anti-gun movement.

Also have fun watching the anti-gun feeds for this story. *crickets*

“Gun Death” Italy

Italy is fairly hostile to lawful gun owners. The idea being that it amounts to less “Gun Death”.

Authorities in the northern Italian city of Lecco say they have arrested a mother who confessed to stabbing to death her three young daughters.

There’s some justifications for “economic reasons”, but likely the woman is simply insane. You don’t see the “Common Sense” types saying that “A knife in the home is 1,473 times more likely to kill a family member than an attacker.” Its probably true tho, given that knives in the home are more likely to chop dinner than anything else.

Still if it saves JUST ONE LIFE!!!!!

Shotgun Fun

I’m glad he didn’t advise birdshot. While those loads COULD be effective, better to stick with #4 or bigger buck or slugs for social work. Also I’m not as big a fan of slugs in a smooth-bore shotgun simply because it takes a gun that’s good at being a shotgun and turning it into a gun that’s a lousy rifle.

Still there might be times when you need a lousy rifle, so I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t keep a few slugs on a bandoleer or side-saddle or what have you.
