Notes from the Resistance...
“I was honored to be a part of this initial exchange of ideas,” said James, whose prepared remarks attributed Kansas City’s youth violence problem to poverty, lack of educational attainment and access to guns. [More]What, they don't have public schools in Kansas City?
At Mayor Sly James’ urging, the City Council voted 9-0 Thursday to ban the “open carry” of firearms, saying Kansas City doesn’t need any more weapons on the streets.I'll say!
“This is not an environment where we need to have everyone armed to the teeth,” James told his colleagues. [More]
If Moxley believes that enough to propagate his assertion, it’s within her power to prove it. Let her go to the neighborhood James spoke in and put his claim to the test. She can buy some fresh food, and she can buy a gun "on the street," and then report which purchase offered more quantity and variety selections, was quicker, easier, less expensive and scary, and carried fewer inherent risks. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes what politicians and "Authorized Journalists" are feeding the public and recommends not stepping in it.
The former spokesman for Sly James was charged with domestic violence assault on Thursday and accused of head-butting a victim in the nose the night before. [More]That probably explains a lot.
"For 'tis the sport to have the engineer. Hoist with his own petard."[Via bondmen]
Kansas City’s deadly weekend highlights need for urgent action on crime prevention [More]Not to worry. Sly James will be hiring a bureaucrat to give him an added layer of insulation. Between that and his partnership with Bloomberg, what could go wrong?
As for the first part of his statement, it’s funny he prefaced it with “But I’ll be honest with you”... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it would be easier for a Benedict College student to be shot by one of Obama's snipers than to throw a vegetable.
A voice-over from former 007 James Bond actor Sean Connery says: "It is said a total ban on handguns, including .22s, would take away innocent pleasure from thousands of people." The man in the film fires a rapid succession of shots, devastating a human- shaped cardboard target. Connery says: "Is that more or less pleasure than watching your child grow up?" The film closes with the words: "Remember Dunblane. Ban all handguns."You can see him recommend a woman be "shaken, not stirred" here:
I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.
We need one person in an influential position to stand up and tell the truth about gun control lobbies... Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you're gonna have... this is an escalating problem that’s eventually going to lead to, I think, urban warfare...It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off. It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?"And Sly is equally gallant with the ladies:
The talk quickly turned to women, with Sly denying Janice Dickinson's claims he injected her with steroids. "The only thing I injected her with was my fist," he joked.So how 'bout it, Moms? Which of these champions of "common sense gun laws" would you rather have women defenseless against? Which one strikes your...uh...fancy? Who deserves a slice of that pie...?
“If we knew what to do today or this week (to reduce the gun violence), we would have been doing it last week or yesterday,” James said. “How do you control indiscriminate acts of violence in places where you don’t know they’re going to happen?” [More]Not so Sly, eh? You admit you don't know what the hell you're doing but you're still bent on abridging the rights of the people who aren't causing the problems?
