“Gun Death” Mountain Climbing

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Its Dangerous, but it isn’t guns.

Two experienced American climbers died while scaling Argentina’s tallest mountain, it was revealed today.

Friends David Reinhart and Eric Nourse, joined by Eric’s twin brother Greg, were around 22,000 feet on Mount Aconcagua when Reinhart began experiencing severe symptoms of altitude sickness.

Both Reinhart, 42, and Eric Nourse, 41, who had gone to seek help, perished on the steep slopes of the mountain. Greg Nourse alone survived.

Sad story, but not a “Gun Death”.

“Gun Death” Burning his Family

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Horrible Story:

A 4-year-old girl, who police claim was set on fire by her father, has died from her injuries….Police claim Nathaniel Beller, 29, father of the two children who also died in the blaze, poured flammable liquid on them and their mother, Taniya Johnson, before setting them alight at a Chicago home on Saturday.

Johnson was also stabbed in the incident, according to reports.

Again, you want to tell me how “Gun Death” is what we need to be concerned about?

Lie Back and Think of England

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Found another “debunking” of the whole “If the Jews hadn’t been Disarmed” argument. I must say this line is really shameful:

Antony Polonsky, a professor of Holocaust studies at Brandeis University, takes issue with a common corollary: that the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising — in which about 750 Jews took up arms, killed about 25 Nazis and briefly slowed the deportation of Jews to concentration camps — shows that an armed minority can resist its genocidal oppressors.

The uprising was the largest single Jewish revolt against the Nazis. But the Nazis killed thousands of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, and the 50,000 who survived were sent to concentration camps. “The people who participated in it were killed,” said Polonsky.

The record also shows that the Nazis accelerated the liquidation of remaining Jewish ghettos after the uprising.

That’s a pattern with anti-Jewish violence, said Polonsky. “Attempts at self-defense provoke more violence.” The same occurred when Jews took up arms during the Russian pogroms of the early 20th century, and when blacks did the same in the American South before the civil rights era, he said.

WOW! Get that! The Jews would have been BETTER off if they better cooperated with the Nazis who were bent on eradicating them! AMAZING!

You wonder who these anti-gun people sympathize with?

Hypocrite

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

I love it, she openly says, yeah its OK for Obama to do this, but not Bush.

Except our laws aren’t segregated by politics, class, or race. When you let one President do something so easily abused as kill American citizens without due process under a vague and unchecked accusation of “working with the enemy”, you’re giving all future Presidents that very same power.

Also the fact that you trust Obama more than you trust Bush shows that you are about as stupid as they come. Useful idiots do need to be as stupid as they are useful!

Man I Guess They Weren’t Kidding

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Yikes! there’s like 3 feet of snow on the ground and its still falling.

When the furnace kicked on this morning water started coming down from the cold-air intake pipe. I had to go outside and shovel the snow away from the intake, which was surprisingly clear as a bunch of the light fluffy snow had been sucked up into the pipe!

Gonna be a long day methinks!

Affordable Type III Armor

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

A bit heavy but very appealing price point!

Also a nice advantage that its good for multiple hits without shattering.

Certainly this can be good for a home invasion situation where maybe you hear the entry or your home alarm is tripped, and you have time before your threat engages you, or when you decide to sweep the house to see if the threat has left.

Also its ideal for dangerous jobs…like delivering papers in LA!

How Gun Laws Work

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

We have lots already:

A Manassas woman pleaded guilty to violating federal firearms laws after buying 31 handguns over a two-week span at three Virginia gun shows.

Kimberly Dinkins, 41, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Alexandria to dealing firearms without a license. She faces up to five years in prison.

Court records show that Dinkins resold all of the guns for a profit….A Virginia law limiting individuals to one handgun purchase per month was repealed last year.

Note again this is AFTER the repeal of the Virginia one-gun-a-month.

Also note there is no note of selling guns to prohibited people, and certainly no notes of selling them across state lines.

We have lots of laws, and don’t need any MORE, we just need to enforce the existing laws. Further, what is the HARM of her actions? I’m assuming she didn’t sell to any criminals, as that would have been in the charges as well (tho it may have been plead away, which both wouldn’t surprise me, and would be forsaking a REAL crime for what is essentially tax evasion for not paying the ATF to sell the guns).

We have lots of transactions LIKE this. Hell I own a few James Bond DVDs that were obviously bought in the large box collections, and then re-sold individually for a profit (both parties won, because I found the box sets to have a few good films packaged with crappy ones I don’t want), most summer weekends there is a person on the public walking trails with a cooler filled with water selling the bottles. In the real estate boom we had people “Flipping Houses”.

But again the anti-rights logic is “Guns are different because they are different!”
