From the Department of Stupid Acronyms

Teaching young people how to make good choices is the focus of the new program called EKG, or Educating Kids about Gun Violence.

So why isn't it EKGV?

Civil authority, which craves a monopoly of force, is playing mind games with the Inmates of Tomorrow to condition an aversion response to guns. This is nothing less than a psy-ops program designed to elicit compliance with the wishes of those in power.

Part of the time-honored technique involves providing real-life examples that illustrate the outcome you wish to achieve--just like the skanky girl who ended up giving VD to the quarterback in the mandatory "Health Class" movie.

"I bought a handgun. I sold the gun illegally. I sent the gun into a heated confrontation that ended in someone being killed. And I lied to the police about what happened," said Johnson, who was released from prison in September after serving 10 years of a 35-year sentence for murder.

"I sent the gun into a confrontation"???

What the hell does that mean, and what the hell is "Johnson" doing out of prison?

The lesson here: It's the gun's fault. Without guns, we'd all be dancing with bunnies in meadows under rainbows.

Note how "Star reporter Tim Evans" just parrots the party line. Good job, Tim! Way to propagandize. We all realize guns are only used for evil purposes, and there couldn't possibly be another side to this story--at least not one worth mentioning to the cud-chewers dumb enough to pay money for your rag. Thank goodness the government only wants to recognize lapdogs like you as "official journalists."

Also note who's in on this evil "joint venture"--Project Safe Neighborhoods. What did I read about that effort? Oh, yeah:

Norton said the NRA can help make Project Safe Neighborhoods a success.

"The President is counting on your involvement in Project Safe Neighborhoods," she told NRA members. "We will get guns out of the hands of criminals," Norton said to a round of applause.

A round of applause.

UPDATE: Nicki also has something to say about this.

So, as well as not being willing to admit the truth about guns and gun owners, these nutjobs are straining at GNATs (Garish Name Acquisition Techniques)

We recently had some small decorative pumpkins left over from Halloween decorations. My wife asked what she should do with them. My six-year-old daughter immediately said, "Let's shoot 'em!"

Thought that might cheer you up a little.

They have convinced me, well, intermittently, anyway. I have been known to tell a police officer that all the education I have received about guns convinces me nobody can be trusted with them. That they are guilty of all evil and anybody with one will use it criminally, then I request that they take theirs off. If they had reason to want to talk to me, I tell them I refuse until they remove the murder tool on their hip and melt it down.

It's never pretty, but always interesting. They look totally confused when you point out that they are saying the very same things gun rights advocates said before you were converted to helplessness as a security strategy.

Whatever you do, though, do not suggest that hypocrisy plays a part in their attitude. They don't know what it means, but it's probably an arrestable offense.

Yeah, sarcastic, gee, I wonder why/

Everytime I can,daily if neccessary, I point out to my boys how the gun-grabbers cause good people to die at the hands of garbage because of their idiot "feelings".
