Gun Show Expected to Draw Crowds

Organizers of the upcoming Craig Gun and Sport Show are expecting the largest show in the event's history.

"Everything a hunter, sportsmen or shooter would want," said Dick Becker, a Maybell resident and member of the sponsoring Bears Ears Sportsman Club, of the items available at the show. "Camouflage, guns, supplies, scopes, mounts ... This will be the biggest show in Northwest Colorado."

I remember when we used to have the Great Western show at the LA County Fairgrounds, back before the Board of Supervisors evicted it as an exercise in hostility against gun owners. It would routinely draw 40,000 over a weekend.

I remember how disgusted I was when the Million Moms/Brady Campaign held a rally in front of the federal building in Westwood--they had thousands of Birkenstock liberals, plus bussed-in inner cityites. On our side of the street, we could never manage more than a hundred or so.

This was on a weekend, so nobody would have had to miss work. I guess those 40,000 gun owners must have had something better to do.

I don't have statistical backup, but I estimate less than 5% of gun owners carry 99% of the load when it comes to protecting our rights. The rest are, in my opinion, no better than welfare parasites, who exist off the efforts of others.

If that doesn't change, things could get real ugly.

We're the Only Ones Unrestrained Enough

A Windham police officer has been granted permission to carry a gun again if he rejoins the department as he awaits trial on misdemeanor charges, according to court documents.

Stephen Moltenbrey, 44, of Derry had been scheduled to stand trial yesterday in Derry District Court, but court records show that the date was pushed to Dec. 1. He faces misdemeanor charges of violating and attempting to violate an emergency restraining order obtained by his estranged wife, Donna Moltenbrey.
So if you're a member of the herd, just a charge--regardless of whether or not it's false and malicious, and without being convicted of anything--is all it takes. We only want "The Only Ones" carrying guns after they've been served with restraining orders.

We're the Only Ones Visiting Enough

A police officer visiting Nacogdoches accidentally discharged a handgun in a hotel room Wednesday morning, damaging a water pipe...The officer's supervisor was also staying at the hotel, and he was notified.
But the shooter wasn't, like, arrested or charged with anything, right...?

A Totally Rational World

In a totally rational political world, Wednesday's deadly gun carnage at Dawson College in Montreal would lead a minority Prime Minister to set aside his plan to terminate the federal long gun registry later this fall.
Yeah, that registry sure stopped Gill in his tracks, didn't it?

Chantal Hébert, you wouldn't know rational if it grabbed you by the shoulders and slammed its head into your face.

Sharon Stoned: All You Need is Love

Actress Sharon Stone...said Thursday that a lack of love in the life of 25-year-old gunman Kimveer Gill...likely prompted him to start firing indiscriminately at a Montreal college on Wednesday in an attack that claimed his life and that of a young woman.
Yeah, and his daddy never bought him a puppy when he was little.

There's no such thing as evil to socialist narcissists, because then there would be benchmarks of conduct where people could be judged morally deficient. Can't have that when the universe revolves around your navel.

Anybody besides me think this malignant cretin belongs in "Idiots With Guns"?
