Supreme Court Has Nothing to Do

On the Supreme Court'’s color-coded master calendar, which was distributed months before the term began on the first Monday in October, Dec. 6 is marked in red to signify a day when the justices are scheduled to be on the bench, hearing arguments.

The courtroom, however, was empty on Wednesday, and for a simple reason: The court was out of cases. The question is, where have all the cases gone?
If they really have all that free time, I can think of something to fill it.

The question isn't where all the cases have gone--that's "authorized journalist" misdirection, that is, a damnable and transparent lie. The question is, why won't the black-robed cowards do their sworn duty and uphold the Second Amendment's promise that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed--instead of refusing to hear such cases without comment?

Why "Gun Control" Propaganda Works

Essentially because enough people are stupid, uninformed, predisposed to bias and ignorantly opinionated... I know this test was conducted on middle school students, but I wouldn't be surprised to find a majority of their voting parents buying into it as well, which explains why the populace can be sold a bill of goods on just about any government or media manipulation imaginable.

Here's the hoax site--pretty dang funny if the results weren't so pathetic.

We're the Only Ones Armed and Famous Enough

HERE'S a really good idea: take a washed-up TV hero, a rehab-hopping son of a reality rock icon, Wacko Jacko's sister and a cast member of Jackass and give them all guns. Real guns.

Just when you though reality TV couldn't get any dumber, we hear CBS is working on Armed And Famous, which follows celebrities as they enforce the laws alongside city police officers.
Just when you thought "The Only Ones" couldn't possibly get any more ridiculous...

I rarely find myself rooting for disastrous unintended consequences, but I'll tell you what--if Zeppo Osbourne or whatever the hell his name is ever pulls a gun on a free man, he's liable to get a few more piercings.

Now that's entertainment...

(Question: "rehab-hopping"? I thought that would make him a legally "prohibited person." Maybe the show can be used as evidence to not only prosecute him for having a gun, but also those who provided it to him. The unintended consequences begin before they even air the first episode...)

Another One Bites the Dust

Concealed Carry, Inc. Closes Doors For Good...
Yes, the "other side is better funded, but that's really not so much a reflection of enthusiasm and commitment by the antis as it is apathy and resignation by gun owners.

I have more contempt for gun owners who do not involve themselves in the fight than I do for members of the Million Moms.

Letter to Burt Constable

I occasionally get copied on letters written by WarOnGuns visitors that I think are worth sharing. The following is one such letter, posted here with permission of the writer.

David,
This is a letter I sent to Burt Constable. Probably will not do any good but at least it's another try.

-------------------

Mr. Constable,

I would refer you to the New Testament, the Book of Luke, Chapter 11, verse 21. "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.” V 22, “But when someone stronger attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils."

Verse 23 shows neutrality impossible.

Next, in Luke, Chapter 22, verse 36, "He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a SWORD, SELL YOUR CLOAK AND BUY ONE’". (In the explanations portion: "BUY ONE". An extreme figure of speech used to warn them of the perilous times about to come. They would need protection, as Paul did when he appealed to Caesar as the one who "bears the sword."

In those times a sword was about the highest technology in weapons one could have. I feel sure that if machine guns were available then Jesus would have wanted them to have the best to defend and protect.

Mr. Constable, I just can't comprehend what it is that has turned men into such sissies that are afraid of their own shadow. I would be forever more afraid to have someone like you guarding my back in a foxhole. I dare say that I am sure you would cut and run when the going got tough. As for protecting your family, what would you do? Have your wife and children curl up in a fetal ball and await execution while you run out the back door?

Mr. Constable, I have seen several videos of the beheadings in Iraq. Often the victims are lain on the ground with their hands tied behind them and un-blindfolded. In one video 3 victims were lain out and trussed up in very close proximity waiting for the inevitable. The insurgents were gathered around sharpening knives and singing songs of praise to "Allah". The 3 victims were all calm and resigned to their fate. In no hurry, one insurgent gets on his knees astride a victim and with one hand pulls the head backward and with the other cuts the victims throat with a large knife. There is no screaming or fighting from the victim, just gurgling. Another insurgent quickly comes and holds the victims head in ways to facilitate the beheading. All during the beheadings the insurgents are shouting "Allahu Akbar". The other 2 victims quietly and somberly watch. Then the process is repeated with the last 2 victims.

In all of the beheading videos that I have seen the victims seem resigned to their fate and do not resist in any way nor do they scream out in pain, They just gurgle and blow blood. And Mr. Constable, there is lots of blood squirting everywhere.

Mr. Constable, I wonder, would you sacrifice your wife and children to beheading while you escaped or would you compliantly submit first? Or, Mr. Constable, would you be a man, arm yourself, and die like a man defending your loved ones and the loved ones of your neighbors?

In the early part of WWII the Japanese sailed up a river and attacked the Chinese city of Nanking. It was later called the Rape of Nanking. Captured Chinese soldiers were used for bio warfare testing. Three Chinese soldiers at a time were tied to a post and were used for bayonet practice to inure the Japanese troops for the killing to come. Japanese officers made a game of killing the Chinese, one; buy lining them up in a line and seeing how many they could kill with one bullet. Other officers made bets as to how many Chinese they could behead with swords before they tired out. Squads of Japanese soldiers roamed the streets raping and killing every Chinese female they could find. When the Japanese got tired of just shooting the victims they used more entertaining methods like bayoneting and herding a group of women and children into buildings and nailing up the exits then setting the building on fire and listening to the screams as they burned to death. I have seen Japanese soldiers make Chinese men and women dig fairly shallow holes then throw the Chinese in then shovel dirt on top of the live victims and tromping the dirt down tightly.

In Stalin's reign before WWII he had practically the same thing done. Death squads roamed the country and executed anyone they could find and did it by any means. Hanging from signs and street lights was very popular. The hanging bodies were left hanging up for all to see. By several estimates, Stalin executed or starved to death up to 35,000,000 Russian citizens from the time he took power in 1927 until he died in 1953. AND, this figure didn't include those lost in warfare.

Which way will you have it Mr. Constable? Will you die like sheep with your family, or will you run like a sissy? Or, Mr. Constable, will you take up arms, train with them, and defend your family and give them a chance to live?

Personally Mr. Constable, I’d rather stand like a man and have my family trained and equipped to defend themselves. I am reminded of my great aunt, born in 1872, sho came to West Texas in a covered wagon when she was a little girl. There was an Indian raid and the men were out of the wagons shooting. As there weren't enough rifles to go around, the women kept track of the children in the wagons. One of the Indians started to climb up into the wagon to capture a white "squaw" or a little boy for a fresh blood line. MY great grand mother didn't cower in the front of the wagon, she didn't scream, nor was she paralyzed with fear. She reacted, she took an axe and chopped the Indian's hand off. My great aunt told me this story more than once the same way every time when I was a little boy in the early 50's. That is the way that people that love their families should react to danger. I want my son to be able to live out his life and reproduce and to teach his family to protect themselves. Maybe someday there will be hope for you to grow a set and be a real man.

Sincerely,
Tommy Sherman

This Day in History: December 7

On this day in 1787, Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution, doing so by a unanimous vote.
It was also, of course the "date which will live in infamy."

Heck of a 21st birthday present for my father, who would join the Marines and be sent to Guam. Happy birthday, Dad. I love you.
