Bloomberg's "Gun Rationale"

I had this sent to me by a friend of mine (Thanks again Dan). It's a great, "telling" meme that shows how the pampered, the pompous politicos in our country believe they know better than us regarding our firearms, our Second Amendment rights. They're naive at best, totally ignorant and over the top conceited at least if they think they know how we should live our lives and raise our own children.

This Mikey BLOOMBERG idiot's truly a fool!

My brothers and I were raised around guns. Guns, firearms were tools to us. We'd hunt our game, we respect the power, the limits of our firearms and we managed their use, their care. The first pistol I ever fired was a model M1911, Dad's. I was a very young fellow, well before my teens when Dad took "us boys" to a local gravel pit to "shoot some guns". I remember Dad showing me how to grip the gun, putting my little hands in place the best he could and him standing behind me with his hand hovering over the pistol while allowing me to squeeze the trigger. I remember the feeling when the round discharged. Dad's hand kept the 1911 from knocking me senseless with its recoil. He said I "hit the target" (to this day I have to take his word for it) but either way it was a great education. We each had a shotgun and a long rifle of our own on or before we turned 13 years old. We were "plinking" with bb-guns and .22 rifles before we were given our "bigger" guns. According to Dad our 13th birthday was the day he'd hand us our first rifle. Mine was a Winchester '94. Later, when I was old enough my Dad took me to SeaMart and I paid for my first rifle myself, an old German 8mm Mauser with a shorter, smaller stock. That was my primary hunting rifle for quite some time.

A couple of years later, when I was a scant 18 years of age I was invited and did join the United States Army. In June, 1972, three days after I graduated from High School I was standing in some semblance of a formation at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. Lined up and ready to serve my country for the next three years, at least. Nah, I doubt Bloomberg ever took a step outside of his little, spoiled rich, spoon fed, silver lined life. But, I could be wrong... I doubt I am.

Bottom line, my father, brothers and I, my friends included... we all hunted and fished for a lot of our food throughout our lives and somehow we managed to make it well into our 60's and 70's without being shot by any errant rounds or accidents associated with the mishandling of firearms, guns.

Either way, Bloomberg needs to shut up and quit trying to force his pompous, silver spoon "values", "morals", "life" on the rest of us... IMHO.

MOLON LABE!

California's Latest Anti-Gun Law...

The target? Ammunition!

Yep, the idiocy never ends. The folks of California, foreign and domestic, legal and "dreamer", live and dead voters were recently given an opportunity to vote against a mandate requiring all purchasers of ammunition to register for each purchase of the ammunition when they buy it. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the legislation... but that's no surprise.

Now gun owners in California will have some changes happening when they go to buy ammo. They'll need to identify themselves via an acceptable form of identification at least, before each purchase is made. Records will be made by the seller of each purchase and those records will be retained by the seller and the guv'ment.

I remember back in the day... the late 60's and into the 70's here in Washington State and several others where I had to show my identification and sign my life away before I could purchase ANY ammunition... and that was at the point of sale for each sale. I remember buying ammunition from some rather shoddy, surly, non-descript, probably not so "above board" places throughout this country over the years (Sea-Mart, K-Mart, Sears, Ernst, Piggly-Wiggly, TG&Y, etc.) simply to have some ammo on hand to "plink" with when the reloads ran dry and I always wondered what happened to the information I gave. Over time most of those states, including (then not-so-liberal) Washington State dropped the "ammo buyer i.d." rule in favor of personal liberties. But, only the Good Lord  knows what was ever done with my personal information albeit not quite accurate when it was given.

Besides, leave it to Californicatia to cater to those who can afford to "pay to play" when it comes to firearms, ammunition, etc. The average Joe Blow (can I say Joe Blow these days without offending Joe or those providing sexual favors?)... The average Joe Blow won't be able to pay for the increase in ammo to the point of recouping their losses via the increase in seller fees for the costs associated with the new mandatory acquisition of information. Not to mention offsetting the public expense associated with the review and retention requirements and the increased costs of production within that hell-hole of a state... California.

Once again, only the rich, the privileged, the lawless will be able to purchase personal defense ammunition. The rest of the folks will have to steal it or reload it. I'd choose the latter or purchase the ammo out of state.

Gun Control Won't Work!

Our government’s policies are killing us!

In the wake of the senseless tragedy at Newtown, CT I noticed the typical push by the left and the main stream media to further restrict our firearms and ammunition sales, possession and ownership in this, our mighty fine country. Once again the victims of this particular massacre were unarmed innocents in a gun free zone. The shooter, a mentally disturbed individual who had every intention of doing as much or more damage than what he did was the only person in the gun free zone who had the capacity to end the assault.

And he did… when he was finally satisfied, when he turned the gun on himself. Otherwise, the shooting would’ve continued until he either ran out of ammo or targets.

If there had been any known, armed resistance inside of the school that the shooter targeted then it’s highly possible the assault would not have occurred. Even if it had my bet would be that there wouldn’t have been nearly as many innocents killed. Reasonable, prudent, law abiding, gun familiar individuals who are in the protection industry have an absolute duty to protect and serve those they’re assigned to protect and serve.

And they do just that! Protect, serve. They recognize a threat, identify the threat and neutralize the threat using whatever means necessary.

Imposing more restrictions on the purchase, possession and carry of guns, magazines and ammunition simply removes tools from the tool boxes of those of us who are responsible gun owners and shooters. Those who wish to do harm do not care if they’re violating the law, whether there’s innocents in their field of fire or not. They’re intent on doing what they’ve set out to do and they’re going to get it done regardless of who’s in their way or what the laws might restrict. They’ll enter a gun free zone and kill just to kill knowing full well they can inflict horrific damage on oh so many innocents before they’re finally brought down. In most of those situations their sole mission in the end is to kill as many people as they can, make the biggest splash they can and subsequently kill themselves or be killed. Their actions, their name forever etched in history… right, wrong or indifferent.

By imposing gun control on those of us who are law abiding citizens the government simply makes everyone bigger targets. The government becomes an enabler to those who care less about the law, those who are hell bent on destroying as many innocents as they can before they or someone else brings an end to their craziness, their insanity.

Put armed guards in our schools, malls, theaters, stadiums. Anywhere our people gather. Encourage responsible, reasonable gun ownership and carry. Conduct background checks to include psychological testing on those who wish to purchase weapons and those who already own their weapons but wish to carry them in public, require semi annual weapons qualifications. If the government truly feels the pressing need to do something, do that! Don’t restrict us who would intervene if necessary to protect and to serve those who can’t by restricting what weapons, magazines and ammunition we can possess and where we can carry them.

In short, use common sense when trying to solve this “problem”. Punish those who commit the crimes, not those who haven’t.

…and quit making targets out of innocents. Your policies have been and still are failing miserably!

The following was wholly copied from CLASHDAILY.com. Sad but true! Chicago, the home of obama, rahm emanuel and so many other corrupt local and national politicos has some of the toughest gun laws on the books. Gun control means everything to Chicago. If you live there you'd think your kids would be safe at least. But, as you can see from the information below that isn't the case!

"446 school age children shot in Chicago so far this year with strongest gun laws in country – media silent

The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders and bloodshed you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media. In Chicago there have been 446 school age children shot in leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel and that produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc. 62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far this year with almost two weeks to go. So why isn’t this news worthy? Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago’s tough gun laws? Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media doesn’t want to show Chicago in a bad light? Amazingly, no Obama crocodile tears either.

For those of you too dense to get the point of this post, it’s to make the point about gun laws. No matter how tough the gun laws are, the crazed nut jobs will find a way to get them and if they so chose, use them. No draconian law can stop this, no matter how well intentioned the law is, or if it’s just about leftists grabbing power from citizens and taking away their constitutional rights.

These unfortunate figures serve to show that if you take away guns from law abiding citizens, create gun free zones where absolutely no guns are allowed you give the reigns of terror, fear, power and crime to the criminals. Those criminals will do what criminals do... kill, maim, steal and destroy lives, innocence, families, property and honor.

Gun Control is not the way. Responsible gun owners are not your enemies. We're not who you should fear. Responsible gun owners aren't the problem. The problems are those politicos, those criminals, those knee-jerk fools and bleeding heart liberals who simply want control of everything, anything we do at any expense!

NOT MY GUNS!

Not today, not tomorrow... not ever!
