Here’s a little glimpse of how effective gun control would be if all guns were banned:
The son of billionaire Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been found dead at his home in Malibu….KTLA.com reported that Sterling had a drug problem and had been in and out of rehab. Neighbors told the TV station that the billionaire’s son was trying to get clean.
Recreational drugs are 100% illegal, yet this poor guy got enough to kill himself! Yep banning shit works good!

One “gun guy” packing heat suggested that it would be awful if he was charged with a crime for wandering onto school property with his loaded gun if his little boy runs into a school playground to slide. Question. Why do people need to carry guns when they go out for walks with their kids? I’m just saying. Most people don’t feel the need nor do they carry guns in public. It’s only about 2% of eligible Americans who have their permits. And they are so victimized when people don’t really want them to carry their guns in public places. For how are we to know the difference between a law abiding person with a gun openly holstered and a criminal with a gun in a holster? But that seems to be of no concern to these folks. They love their guns no matter where they are. So do people who want to do others harm. They love guns, too. And they have managed to kill about 11,000 or so of their fellow Americans in gun homicides on average for the past many years.
Uh huh. Well if I don’t need a gun when I’m out for a walk, then why do you need to BAN guns? Nice little attempt at painting conceal carry holders as killers. Not true, but I guess that’s what you can expect from the anti-freedom camp.
Assault weapons? Oh those. They are just your ordinary hunting gun, right? No. They are not nor should they be. There was a bit of a testy exchange with a retired FBI agent who testified in support of the assault weapons ban and the legislator mentioned above. Said legislator took issue with the agent saying he didn’t know people who hunted with AR-15s. Mr. Legislator says everyone hunts with them. They don’t but if he says so it must be true. He says it with so much authority that he doesn’t expect to be questioned
Odd, I know people who hunt with ARs, AKs, and other so-called “Assault Weapons”, and who have been hunting with them for years. These people must not exist! Hey, but what do I know, right?
Keep up the good work, Joan! You’re money well spent from the Joyce Foundation!
Great Video!
Compliant guns pose just as much threat in the hands of an evil person. Meanwhile in the hands of a good person, I’d rather take the rifle for more precision, less felt recoil, and the added bonus of long rifle rounds loosing stability faster than spherical shotgun pellets.
They will not stop until they have banned ALL GUNS. Don’t give an inch!
Since Jeff knows a thing or two about ATF regs (not sure what FFL he holds, but he’s got one), he gets down to some of the details glossed over by the anti-rights fiends.
One of those things you won’t be hearing about from the anti-rights goons who talk so much about “insurrectionists”
And what do you know, Chris Dorner, the former-police officer suspected of being behind the murder rampage presently unfolding in Los Angeles, has apparently left behind a manifesto addressed to America that the media’s already selectively reporting on to leave out the more inconvenient portions. You see, there’s no political upside for the media to reveal the politics of this suspected madman.
What’s being reported as Mr. Dorner’s manifesto not only endorses Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 and vigorously defends Barack Obama and the Democrats’ current gun control push, he also savages the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and expresses all kinds of unabiding for some of the biggest stars in the left-wing media — by name.
Follow the link to read excerpts. Also there’s this:
Two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering newspapers, sources said.
The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said. They were not identified. One was shot in the hand and the other in the back, according to Jesse Escochea, who captured video of the victims being treated.
Look at the images. The tailgate and back window of the truck are RIDDLED with bullets. How could police have ascertained the threat from such an angle. Also there is suspicious absence of WHY these two women were fired upon. Maybe I’m paranoid, but this is an ex-cop turned cop-killer, I suspecting a execution, thin-blue-line style.
Lastly another report from a different case we won’t be hearing much of:
Prosecutors say Corkins, who had been volunteering at a center for gay, lesbian and transgender people, was carrying ammunition and Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his bag. Chick-fil-A was making headlines at the time because of its president’s stated opposition to gay marriage.
Corkins intended to smear the sandwiches in the faces of his victims to make a statement about gay rights opponents, he acknowledged during a hearing Wednesday…
In his plea agreement, Corkins acknowledged he identified the [Family Research] Council as “an anti-gay organization” by visiting Southern Poverty’s website. The head of the Council, Tony Perkins, called on the group to stop labeling his organization and others hate groups because of their stance on gay issues. A spokeswoman for the Alabama-based Law Center did not immediately return a telephone message…
The left-wing hate is coming home to roost. Those who use this “Insurrectionist” meme are the ones causing the real problems.

Another Thursday night, and another Squirrel Report.
We’ll be talking about Chris Rock’s interesting idea that President Obama is both our “Boss” and our “Daddy”, and Ron Paul’s recent idiocy.
Join in the discussion tonight by calling in! 9pm EST!
ITS THE SQUIRREL REPORT!
Again…Kinda
During the study, which involved 189 healthy 18- to 22-year-olds, men who watched the most TV (20 or more hours a week) had sperm counts that were 44 percent lower than men who did not watch television.
But its not the tube, its what you do to WATCH that much TV:
The findings held after the researchers took into account factors that could affect sperm count, such as smoking, body mass index (BMI) and calorie intake.
Men who watch a lot of TV may have a more sedentary lifestyle, which in turn may affect sperm count, the researchers said. Indeed, the men in the study who exercised the most — doing 15 or more hours a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity — had sperm counts that were higher than those of guys who exercised less than 5 hours a week.
The findings suggest that having a more physically active lifestyle may improve sperm quality, said study researcher Audrey Gaskins, a doctoral student at Harvard School of Public Health. Previous studies have found that being obese and eating a high-fat die are risk factors for lower sperm counts
Again its bad for you spending all your time sitting on your duff. That goes for you who are reading this blog when you could be exercising!
At least that’s what I said the first time I shot an EOTECH on a rifle:
I dig the range finder reticule on the crossbow unit.
People say we can’t have guns because it makes murder “Too Easy”
King County prosecutors say a 24-year-old Auburn man fatally stabbed his cousin after verbal slight on Christmas Eve….Authorities say Courville stabbed Quinn in the neck with a butcher knife after the insult.
When people people say “owning a gun makes murder too easy” I want to pull out my gun, set it on the table, and tell them to kill me with it. I’d feel pretty safe in that action, but drawing a loaded gun has some legal issues that are vastly more risky than the request for them to do an act of murder, so I don’t.
No, murder doesn’t come easy to healthy people, but there is a small number of unhealthy people who have no qualms about it, and when those people are pushed, the tool doesn’t matter a wit!
Also to add to this:
Courville is also accused of trying to disarm an Auburn police officer while being held. Prosecutors say Courville managed to grab the officer’s gun, but was subdued by other detectives.
Just a dangerous person, and one who should NEVER be allowed to walk free.
