Why Stand Your Ground Is Relevant

Have a look at this newly released picture of George Zimmerman.

This is not the face of a panicky mall-ninja. This is not the face of a zealous white-supremest. This is not the face of a bully.

This is the face of a man who was beaten within an inch of his life, and is ONLY alive because he had a gun on him that night. A night when he only thought he was going to buy groceries for the week.

The anti-rights types don’t want you to see this photo. Why? Because its the truth, and it speaks 1,000 words.

About That Hand-Egg Guy

So there’s a football guy who killed his Baby-Momma, then capped himself.

On an interesting note he got his college start at my Alma-mater UMaine. Belcher was much younger than me, so he wasn’t a player when I was there, but I’ll note that while I was wandering around on the Football field with a Tuba on my shoulder, the football team was warming up around us. I remember the first time the team hit the field while I was there. These guys are HUGE! I’m not a tiny guy myself, and I’ll note that the Tuba is not an instrument for those small in stature, and the smallest guy on the team dwarfed us. They don’t look that big from the bleachers.

Frankly the gun is really irrelevant when talking about football players. These guys are of a stock where they can kill with nothing more than their bare hands. Still this story has legs because of the gun.

Not because it was a monster of a man with some emotional issues. Not because people who’ve had multiple concussions often have rage issues. Not because steroid use is rampant in the NFL and those drugs often make their abusers dangerous. Not because this guy apparently had problems with the booze and the pills.

Nope, its just the guns, nothing else it relevant.

NYC Utopia!

Thank goodness they have such good gun laws in NYC!

One man is dead and another is fighting for his life this morning after they were shot in a Staten Island apartment building for being too noisy, police sources said.

The victims, 20 and 21, were in a first floor apartment in a Bodine Street building drinking and being rowdy around 6 a.m. when the upstairs neighbor complained to her boyfriend, the source said.

The man decided to take matters into his own hands and marched downstairs to put an end to the ruckus, sources said….The shooter fled from the building and is still at large, police said.

We see things like this in Boston all the time too. Oddly enough strict gun laws only seem to stop the good people who would never think to do things like this! Hey but Gun laws WORK!!!

Background Checks at Every Gun Sale

Remember, if we ban private sale of firearms criminals simply can’t get guns!

Authorities say they’re searching for dozens of rifles stolen from a train car somewhere in metro Atlanta.

Atlanta station WSB-TV reports that more than 100 rifles were taken in the heist from a CSX boxcar.

All one has to do is look at nations where firearms are heavily restricted to civilians to see how the criminal elements get their guns. I know Polish Ex-Pats who gave rifles to the Russian mob in trade for vodka! A cheap trade when it isn’t your hardware being “lost”. Mexico is the same way, the military simply steals their guns and sells them to the cartels, and corrupt police sell off guns.

It doesn’t say what the rifles are, or who was to receive them, but this could be a shipment of sporting rifles to a gun shop or distributor…or full-auto rifles being delivered to police or military.

Of course if private sales are as illegal as grand theft, nobody will do it, right?

Leftist Terrorists Don’t Count!

CSGV often uses the metric of “Gun Death” to further their agenda, they also have crafted the laughable “Insurrectionism Timeline”, attempting to show gun owners as terrorists ready to commit atrocities. Odd that they seem to have a strong political bias when they pick “Insurrectionists”. No mention of this:

A Canadian woman accused of involvement in the “largest eco-terrorism case” in US history has surrendered after a decade on the run….She is alleged to have been one of 13 members of a cell – known as The Family – linked to arson attacks in the western United States from 1996-2001.

The group believed their targets were damaging the environment.

The damage to the targets, including forest ranger stations and meat processing plants, ran to more than $40m (£25m)….Ten members of the cell – the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front – pleaded guilty in 2007 to conspiracy and arson charges and were sentenced to between 37 and 156 months in prison.

After Ms Rubin’s surrender, two other members remain at large.

For those of us working in biomedical research these groups are no joke, they have been tied to not only damage of research facilities and killing the very animals they claim to protect, but actual attacks on scientists. I’m sure the same goes for forestry and food workers as well.

Hey but she’s a “Progressive” like the members of CSGV and other Joyce Foundation groups…so how bad could they be? Yet another entry you’ll never see on their site! We’re the real danger, remember!

Doesn’t This Make Me Feel Good

Thousands of Gas Leaks Found in Boston:

Two devastating explosions this month alone, one blast in Massachusetts that leveled a multi-story building and another deadly explosion in an Indiana neighborhood, remind us of the power and potential danger of natural gas.

Now a new study released by Boston University reveals there are more than 3,300 natural gas leaks across Boston, raising concerns that one of America’s oldest cities faces great challenges regarding its aging infrastructure and an increased risk of explosions.

Natural Gas explosions are really scary as they can completely obliterate the building they happen in. I read one report that fire inspectors immediately know when they come upon one because there is no sign of the house, except for the roof sitting down in the foundation. That means the walls are blown apart and the roof is blown straight up in the air, and falls down into the crater.

Of course gas leaks are easy to detect by smell because chemicals are added to the line to make the odorless gas detectable…but when you think of all the foreclosed houses that are sitting empty, who’s going to smell it?

“Gun Death” Messy Boyfriend

Seems reasonable to me!

A woman who kept a book about female murderers next to her bed stamped her boyfriend to death when she become fed up with his messy habits….The court heard how Mr Jones, who walked with a stick following a previous injury, suffered brain damage, broken ribs and a crushed larynx – injuries police said were consistent with being repeatedly stamped on.

Pretty brutal murder! Hey, but no gun, and no “Gun Death” right?

Born In The Prison Camp

Amazing! I knew that North Korea is a Communist shithole as all Communist nations are…still I assumed that the prisoners in the camps were all caught doing SOMETHING!

He did NOTHING wrong but be born to prisoners who themselves might have done nothing at all. Amazing. More amazing is that there are people in this very nation who would do the same to us.

They Have No Idea!

Jay has been known to say: “Hybrids are for people bad at math, and Smart Cars are for people who aren’t.”

Exhibit A!

Not only are Smart Cars over-priced, cramped, uncomfortable to ride in, but they get HORRIBLE gas milage! Yeah the milage numbers are high, but the car is the size of a large go-cart, and it only takes PREMIUM! If I did an engine re-flash on my Edge so it ran optimally on premium it would get within striking distance of the Smart…with three people in the backseat and two weeks of groceries in the cargo hold! If you want a small economical car, get a Honda Fit, or a Nissan Versa, or a Toyota PanisYaris, or the Ford Fiesta. Since the car isn’t the size of a pocket-watch you don’t need all the extra weight of the crash cage…and you can fill it up with the cheap stuff!

Still if you don’t think my numbers are right, just look at this person’s back window! That, my friends, is the mark of an idiot!
