LATEST FBI CRIME DATA CONTINUES TO REFUTE ANTI-GUN RHETORIC, SAYS CCRKBA

BELLEVUE, WA – For the third year in a row, violent crime has declined in the United States while increasing numbers of American citizens own firearms and are licensed to carry, a trend that belies predictions of anti-gunners that more guns will result in more crime, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Grey’s Anatomy

Posted by Greybeard on May 21st, 2010 in Political, Shootist | Comments Off

Grey’s Anatomy is not a series I normally watch.  (In recent years I’ve developed an aversion to casual interactions with hospitals).   Last night I decided to sit with the wife and watch the 2 hour year’s finale .   It turns out that it was a show built around a disturbed man, seeking vengance for his wife’s death in the hospital.    His method of vengance was to walk around the hospital,  shooting doctors and nurses that were involved with treating his wife.   After an hour or so of fearful and intense seek and shoot,  the man decided to talk with one of his intended victims.   This is when the entire 2 hours went sour,  a five minute politically minded speach,  maligning gun ownership and the second ammendment.   Quote:   “I’ve never owned a gun before,  but 5 day’s ago I walked into a mega-mart,  and bought this 9 mm handgun and all the ammo I could carry”.

My question for the writers:   And on which planet did this happen?    Come to Michigan and try to buy a handgun at a mega-mart, or find one that sells them.   And if you’re looking for ammo,  better have 2 pieces of I.D.,  and a clean record,  not to mention,  leave your name, S.S. number,  and current address.

Bottom line,  the writer’s of the show used five minutes of the program to express their twisted mind set about gun ownership.   Likely the entire program was designed to support the lie of  how dangerous the second ammendment makes our country.   The flaw of their logic,  is that like almost all shooters and terrorists,  the shooter in this story,  decided to go to a location marked with the politically correct,  “NO GUNS” sign,  where he could walk around freely and shoot people at will.

I’m so tired of being told I’m endangering my life by owning a gun.   Note to television and movie moguls, to anti-gunners and politicos :  Your hidden symbolism,  and preaching propaganda,  and lies are not working.   In fact it’s just the opposite,  the more  you press your unconstituional agenda,  the more Americans wake up  and see the light of this great Nation!

The great sunny weather is paused.   It’s about 53 degree’s and been raining all morning.   But at least the wind has died down.  I finally got enough info from the Carteach blog,  that I felt comfortable ordering the LaserMax LMS1181 internal laser sight for my Glock 36.   Hopefully,  they’ve fixed the problems he had with his and mine won’t have to go back for modification/repairs.In keeping with my decision not to blog a lot about politics,  I’m holding off on an essay I read the other day by Gary North,_________________

____________If you want to read it,  click the above bolded text,  but suffice to say,  it’s scary stuff.  (Also pretty much what I’ve expected).   I’ve saved a copy of it,  and maybe,  will post commentary at some later date.    That is,  if I can manage to get my mind around this dark image of our country’s future.

INTERNOT #26

Posted by Greybeard on Mar 22nd, 2010 in Local, Political, Technology and Music | Comments Off

I’ve revamped my Internot number system, to reflect how many days I’ve been without full internet access. (It took, trying all day long to get the connection I’m currently using).
Charter Line Tech came today and apologized for the problem, but obviouly didn’t get it fixed.
TWENTY SIX DAYS, is a little much, don’cha think??

And on a political note:  I suppose we can now celebrate a political action that has never before taken place in the history of our Democratic Republic,  or for that matter,  in ANY Democratic Republic! (Though I expect it happens in socialist countries Alot!)

Just curious

It -is- curious,  that this article,  only got posted in Canadian newspapers,  and at the same time,  kind of sad.
