Talking a Good Game

2A Gaming: Spreading Gun Rights Message via Video Games [More]

I have to admit upfront the gaming phenomenon is something I have never grokked.  When I was in college a bar had Pong and I remember playing PacMan and Asteroids, and Snakes on an old Windows machine. The wife enjoys Solitaire in her spare time, and back when I had some, I enjoyed a miniature golf game. Oh, I also remember playing Duck Hunt for a few minutes at a relative's house.

By the time the X-Box/Play Station stuff with multi-function controllers came out, I was too wrapped up in demanding jobs to give them a moment's thought, and my limited free time was eaten up doing Dad things with the family and around the house and yard. Anything in excess of that and it was a cigar and a couple fingers of the good stuff on the porch for me to decompress.

Feral sons Uday and Qusay, on the other hand, grew up with it all and are quite adept, but I would watch them for a few minutes and decide it was all above, if not my pay grade, any incentive to spend the time to learn.

So with my near-total ignorance stipulated, let me venture an opinion:  My impression of gamers is they had better be given top-quality graphics, compelling character and scenarios, and top-notch competition, and anything less will be rejected and ruthlessly ridiculed. So if they're going to do it, do it right and spend the needed money to employ "top men."

Do it on the cheap or make the primary purpose to ham-handedly preach and you may as well not do it at all.

It's not a bad idea, but its success will all be in the execution. I hope you guys do it right. Good luck.

Spreading Like Kudzu: A Million Moon Update

The new gallery, featuring a special "Predators on Parade" section, will go up on Monday. In the mean time, here are some links from folks who have kindly helped promote the project since the last update. If I missed you, please don't get mad--there's only one of me and as I type, sons Uday and Qusay are running through the house fighting and screaming like monkeys on fire (wait a minute--they are on fire!) while Honey-Do is giving me a choice between the clipping shears or the rolling pin. So if I negligently slighted you, just leave a comment below to correct the record, OK? And if you just sent a picture file with no link, that'll be posted on Monday, too.

2 Valuable and Control Arms agree that guns might spoil Jeffrey Dahmer's appetite.

Alphecca has some kind words.

"Anonymous" and the folks at Control Arms realize people like Heinrich Himmler need special protection.

Blognomicon treats us to a happy guy with a pipe.

Captain of a Crew of One is posting his own gallery. Check out what his nephew got posted--the Control Arms idiots think it's a plea instead of a dare.

David Homoney knows that there are special people who need to be kept safe from gun violence...Isn't that right, Sr. Guevara?

End the War on Freedom tells his readers about the new tack, and also took me up on my suggestion. Surprise!

Fish or Man sees both the humor and the deadly seriousness of this project.

Free Constitution shares his gallery in today's Second Amendment Saturday post. Sorry, Stan, I haven't had the time to figure out how to do trackbacks yet (If I do this will it work? I've repeatedly told everyone how unskilled I am at this com-pyoo'-tor stuff), but happy birthday...and congratulations on keeping Hugo and Fidel a little safer!

Funbob thinks that Ado...I mean, Ricardo, might have good reason to support gun control...

GeekWithA.45 hit a grand slam with his inspired submission. Put down the baby, Vicky, and no one will get hurt!

GunShowOnTheNet shows us his own gallery that demonstrates "Just Cause...to be Armed."

Head's Bunker has a submission that shows him to be one of the last people to try and make submit.

Kristopher sent in a message that made me shoot coffee through my nose. I wonder what the physical reaction over at Control Arms was?

Oscar Poppa has an update that includes links to other sites as well (let's see if I missed any...). He's thinking of starting the Central Texas chapter of the Million Moon March, so be sure and check him regularly for updates...

Rational Review gave us a nice endorsement. Thanks, Mary Lou!

Ride Fast & Shoot Straight has three posts and a bullseye.

Say Uncle thinks we're having an effect, and he likes the Geek's entry.

South Park Pundit shows us how a convicted sex offender can bring a little Sunshine into our lives...The results? Two for two!

Tomato 7 got the gang over at Control Arms to agree to Keep Slobo Safe! He also sent them a cool poster.

Viking Ambition correctly perceives Robert Mugabe's wishes.

Void Where Prohibited has no doubt his entry wishes to be kept safe from armed violence. This is just too rich!

William Clark is on a roll. Not only does Pol need protection, but so do his friends Polson and <snort> "Adolf" from "Germany"...

Many thanks to those of you who are supporting this. Look for pictures to be posted on Monday, and please keep spreading the word.

Are we having fun yet? I know I sure am.

Still Under the Weather...

Believe me, I'm more sick and tired of it than anybody.

The good news is I'm on the mend. The bad news is, overdoing it would be stupid. So expect less for a while.

As such, I'm going to be doing an abbreviated set of posts, to give you some of what others of you want me to talk about (and I won't mind if the emails slow down a bit for a while longer--honest), and stuff I want to point out.

In the interests of making my job as effortless as possible, please forgive me if I don't get to your submission, and also if I don't go through the detail work of adding links to contributor names.

Together, we shall persevere through these dark days...or some such.

As always, please do what you can to evangelize my Examiner columns. I know I sound like a nag, but really--it's not like I have a tip jar or anything, and regulars here want to see me be able to feed feral sons Uday and Qusay their daily crust of bread, I trust...?

We're the Only Ones on a Jihad Enough

I'd say Supervisor Chris Norby has it exactly right, and Sandra Hutchens needs to be confined to the Hut of the Unclean. Go on over and lend some support in "Comments." [Via Maureen]

We're the Only Ones Released Enough

Tell me Oscar Grant would have made bail had he executed Johannes Mehserle. Plus the guy already ran to Nevada once--why isn't he considered a flight risk? [Via Maureen]

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise

It looks like the entire culture has been infected with mistrust. No wonder they don't trust each other with guns--spouses don't even trust each other with computers.

Fairfax Rumor Control

If it's a legitimate concern, rest assured your NRA-ILA will promptly address it and will give you the straight story.

Just like they did with the Holder nomination!

And I guess Olofson and Fincher aren't legitimate concerns.

Less than Understanding

A local school district has suspended a member of the Young Marines youth leadership group after students saw drill props in her vehicle.

Read this and seethe. Can you imagine being Tustin Amhole...oh wait, that's Amole...

The schools says they have no discretion. Right. Like anyone would dare haul them away if they did the right thing.

You can contact these excremental administraitors here. [Via Tom S]

At Least He Didn't Make the "III" Sign

Tough to know if he was stalking. If he was, no sympathy, but the principle involved ought to raise some flags.. [Via Ed M]

Explosive Revelations

The vans included homemade explosive devices connected to remote detonators, firearm silencers and jugs filled with sulfuric acid, a known agent for accelerating the decomposition of a body, authorities said.

A fake mustache. Good grief.

Hey--what do you want to bet he got all that stuff at one of those damned American gun shows? [Via Ed M]

For the Children

Really? My kids? Just wow. [More]

Let's review the bidding: Ann Coulter makes a demonstrable assertion about the effects of current immigration policies on the American electorate. I make an equally demonstrable extrapolation (if you deny that, you answer the challenge) about the legal and judicial effect that will have on the way the right to keep and bear arms is recognized by government.

Then out of nowhere this crazy lady appears and wishes my kids (by the way, I considered mine cubs) dead? Gun-grabbers sure are violent.

So them being killed
would teach me?

As disappointed as she'll be, feral sons Uday and Qusay both managed to make it to adulthood with  the chances of that happening minimized. That's because their mother and I knew that part of our job as parents committed to their protection was making sure they both received continued development-appropriate firearms exposure and training. That's as opposed to, you know, the avoidance and ignorance demanded by "common sense gun safety" advocates.

So who is this monster carrying around such bloody-minded, seething resentment for the millions of more-traditional Americans with whom she disagrees?

Her Twitter account says she's a "Musician, lover of design and art " out of Clearwater, FL. That matches up to a Facebook account that further tells us she
is "Now performing with At Large Band."

Oh, look. Nice to put a face and a CV with the person who wishes such nice things for me. And nice to see their calendar of upcoming performances.

How curious, though: Some of their regular gigs appear to be for American Legion Post 79 and a couple VFW posts, Dunedin and Indian Rocks.  I say "curious" because like me, they also advocate for caring adults providing youth firearms instruction, meaning they understand that responsible firearms ownership is an American tradition to be honored and carried on:

I wonder if Lotte would express the same hateful sentiment to her patrons about their children as she did to me.

I think I'll ask.

Million Moon March: A New Tack

This is really funny, and it illustrates how--when an idea gets set loose in the wild--others can adapt it and make it far superior to the original plan--so much so that I now recommend using this new approach as the main one.

The first evolutionary move in this direction came from Free Constitution, who submitted a photo of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez using the selected caption "Make me safe from armed violence."

Then E. David Quammen from Gun Show on the Net came up with an inspired idea and hit the ball out of the park.

This was his submission:



The caption: Make me safe from armed violence.

And the Million Faces campaign posted it!

Why is that funny? Why is that worthy of becoming the new tactic for us to use?

Because, if you haven't recognized it already, the image is of genocidal butcher Pol Pot, the monster responsible for Cambodia's "Killing Fields." And because that's exactly what "gun control" does--it makes monsters safe from (defensive) gun violence.

David's success made me realize that--instead of sending protest photos we know Control Arms will reject and substitute--we could probably get them to post many more of our actual submissions if we just sent in portraits of predators. A Google image search on the name of a known tyrant or Nazi is one good place to start (just make sure if you pick a dictator he's not in military uniform--I found a great portrait of Idi Amin in a suit looking very respectable, ditto for Uday and Qusay Hussein...)

But why stop there?

We have the FBI's "Most Wanted List." The Postal Service also puts out posters, as do many state and municipal law enforcement websites.

And then we have the sexual predators, like on California's "Megan's Law" website (and their "illegal use" disclaimer doesn't address what I'm proposing here)...

David's success really does open up a wealth of potential for sticking it in the eye of those who are working to undermine our rights, plus it's just plain ironically funny. Let me know if Control Arms posts your predator, and keep those pictures coming in.

UPDATE: Forgot to include this--we got a nice mention over at Rational Review.

A Plea for Understanding

Folks, I'm working my tail off. I even have to go to the library today to do some research. I have two book reviews in the queue (meaning I have to find the time to read them first), a ton of marketing effort to do for my column, and literally hundreds of emails I process every day--I read them all and try to reply when I can, although of late I must apologize for not being able to.

In short, I am forced to make a decision between:
a. Working on the priorities on my overflowing plate
b. Processing and responding to every news tip I get (many of which are repeats)
c. Having a life, which includes a wife, two sons and a yard and house screaming for attention, not to mention my other professional commitments.

Please, please understand if I don't feature your tip or even reply. It does not mean I don't appreciate your interest, and I apologize if you think it's rude.

There is only one of me, and I'm doing the best that I can. I don't even plan to post on WarOnGuns any more today because of that afore-mentioned library trip, which I hope will result in a pay-off I can share with you soon.

Thank you in advance for understanding and not attributing non-responsiveness to not caring.

Oh, and if you do understand and want to help, share my Examiner column links. Page views help keep meager gruel in feral sons Uday and Qusay's bowls. I've heard some intentionally won't link to my GRE columns because of that.

We're the Only Ones Belting One Down Enough

The teenager accused Elmore of beating her with a belt in an argument on Nov. 18. The prosecutor, Forest Worgum, says her bruises were visible for nearly a month.

I agree with Fits. And I don't understand the mindset of some who have commented on "gun boards" about how a good lickin' never hurt them. Good lickin's don't leave bruises for a month.

Sons Uday and Qusay are now 13 and 17, and I can't recall the last time I laid on hands--possibly to separate them when being young animals, meaning being boys, but not to actually smack them with any force. I do recall some bottom-swatting when younger for things like bolting off the sidewalk into a parking lot, but that was an instant reaction/immediate lesson thing. Formalized beatings were never part of the toolkit and were never needed or even considered, and all the normal frustrations aside, I could not ask for two more endearing sons.

I wasn't raised that way either. I remember in High School, I was joking with another kid in Art class and the teacher walked up, backhanded him across the face and tried to do the same to me. I blocked it, looked him in the eye and told him if he wanted to hit me, he would need to call my father first and ask permission. If Dad said it was OK, I'd let him, but otherwise we were going to have a problem. We didn't have a problem.

Back to "Only One" Elmore: I know children can push and frustrate you to the brink of reason. But if he can justify doing this to someone he ostensibly loves, imagine what he would be capable of doing to someone he doesn't. The young woman is old enough for tough love if her behavior is intolerable--meaning she lives by the rules of the house or lives on her own.

Yesterday

I just sent the following to a friend in response to something else, and decided what the hell, I may as well share it here:

I was so busy, I didn't even have time to give feral sons Uday and Qusay their daily beating.

Spent a needed day with wifey. Went to the outdoor farmer's market yesterday morning in the heart of Hudson. Took our goodies home after making fast friends with a happy poodle pup we met along the way, and then went to the art fair -- we always get our Christmas cards from a local artist who does home-towny Thomas Kincaid-type stuff we're suckers for.

Then went to visit my Mom. She got out of the hospital a week ago after having her knee replaced.  Visited, went grocery shopping for her, then found out she forgot her cell phone charge cord at the recovery hospital-- they couldn't find it so we had to buy a new one.

After that it was time to grill bacon cheeseburgers in time to leave by 7, when we went to Blossom --every year I get her Cleveland Symphony Orchestra summer season tickets, and we take out lawn chairs and listen under the stars, last night to Bach and Liszt, followed by the main event, Carmina Burana, which I just then realized is where Milius got some of the music for his Conan the Barbarian movie.

We got home in time for me to light a cigar on the back porch, pour a couple fingers of the good stuff, and continue my appreciation for the arts and culture by watching horror host Svengoolie present "Abbot and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

I hope with all the negative crap we feel compelled to devote so much of ourselves to dealing with, you find time for soul restoration and just plain enjoyment for its own sake.

Happy Trails to You, Until We Meet Again

I'm leaving for vacation in an hour and will be back Aug. 6.

I have no worries about making that knowledge public. Now that I've replaced the batteries in their shock collars so they can't escape the property and maul anyone (again), I've unchained and released feral sons Uday and Qusay from the basement, leaving them free to prowl the grounds.

Please hold off on all news tips, emails, tweets, FB messages and blog comments (which I have turned off until I get back). Anything you send will be a wasted effort, as I'll have a full plate and just won't be able to get to it when I return.

The White House petition expires in two days and will be ridiculously undersigned. I'll talk about that when I get back including that I'm not giving up and will figure something else out.  At least I can take comfort that the effort to free A$AP Rocky got the president's attention (not to mention almost 630,000 signatures at this writing).

I have two articles that should be coming out soon:

• On Ammoland, look for "Take Shannon Watts’ Advice and ‘Fight Like a Mother’ -- against Her."
• On Firearms News, look for"Riding the Tiger," my take on what to do about Wayne and why.

That's it. See you on the other side. Until then:

Well...Bye

Not really, but I am getting out of here for a while and will be back around Aug. 3 or thereabouts. Feral sons Uday and Qusay will be let out of the basement to prowl the house until then and hopefully won't run out of intruder bones and escape.

I've turned off blog comments because I won't be moderating. Please hold all email and social media tips as I just won't be able to get to what accumulates when I return.

I do have two more AmmoLand articles due out soon-- one on Lori Lightfoot and Chi-Town (UPDATE: Just published), and the other on the always-wretched John Kasich. You can look for them on my "landing page" and do the same with Firearms News columns you haven't seen yet.  As always, if you get value from any of them, send the links to anyone else you think may get the same.

Be seeing you.

UPDATE: This was recorded a few weeks ago and just got released:

26, and It's Only March

Franco Avila's stepfather believed the teen when he said he didn't want to be in a gang anymore. But as the 17-year-old left their Albany Park home Tuesday afternoon, his stepfather asked him not to go, or at least be home before curfew.

Later that night, Avila, a 10th-grader at Roosevelt High School, was shot to death just blocks from his home. [More]

Ah, see, feral sons Uday and Qusay are in twelfth and ninth grades respectively. There's no quitting a gang option for either of them, because I, well, you know...I parent them. And set boundaries. Pretty simple, really. My house, my food, my rules. Deserve trust and you'll get it. Don't, and woe unto you. I know your friends and I know where you are. Speaking of which, where are you on your homework? And clean that room.

But don't worry--I'm even tougher on myself. Gotta set an example, you know.

Then you balance all that with a lot of love and a lot of laughter. Every day.

So we can see what the obvious solution to all these Chicago "students" getting shot is: Ban guns in Chicago. Don't allow gun carrying in Illinois.

Right?

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Weekend Update

I was hoping to take a long weekend off--lots of family coming in and chores a-plenty--just got done splitting mucho wood for the firepit--my bro-in-law brought his 8-Lb maul and I was pleased at how easy that made it--my 6-pounder doesn't do the job and I was starting to take the resulting failure with it personally.

Probably no new GRE column for the weekend. Unless something big happens. But if you're on the internet looking for gun stuff, feel free to go over there and click around on my links, because page views help put meager gruel in feral sons Uday and Qusay's bowls. Then go share the links with everyone and get them to do the same thing, and help make ME that billionaire everyone is complaining we don't have to help finance 2A efforts. Now that sounds like a plan.

Anyway, the real reason I decided to do this one post is Mike Vanderboegh may have an insight on the next head of BATFU, so I wanted to share that with anyone still hanging around this place.

Go here and see.

Then log off. The weather map for most of the country says it's pretty nice.

Happy Independence Day tomorrow. Enjoy the blessings of Liberty. Go pursue some happiness.

Voyage to See What's on the Bottom

[Click to enlarge]

What with the hours I work and demands on time I don't write about here, I generally finish up late and turn on the tube to just veg out for a bit before sleep.  Right now I'm catching up on "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," which I used to watch back in the Sixties.

Feral sons Uday and Qusay think it's a hoot that we had shows like that taking place in the "future" years of 1970s and 80s. "Voyage" actually had some thoughtful episodes, especially in the black and white era before much of it devolved into cheesy special effects and hokey monsters, like much of the -- face it -- dreck Irwin Allen produced.

Long story short, I found a Richard Basehart commemorative site that has posted another fond memory, back from the days when I was a Mad Magazine regular, their "Voyage to See What's on the Bottom" parody.  You'll probably either think it's childishly stupid or funny.  If you're like me, you'll think it's both, and enjoy it all the more because of that.

I don't know what "netiquette" is for a link that appears to go to a directory instead of a content page, so I'm not going to make this link hot. If you want to see more, copy and paste it into your address bar.

A Journey of a Thousand Miles...

...starts this morning with a single step.  Meaning I won't be posting for a week, or moderating comments, which I've shut off, or responding to emails/tips, messages and tweets, Please hold off on those, as any received in my absence will probably go unanswered.

As usual, things have been coming across the transom I'm itching to field, including two offers for "exclusives." I just won't have time to even look at those until I return, so when I do they may be old news.

I also have four articles out awaiting publication and can't say what days they'll be posted. They'll be under the following links when they are:

• AmmoLand: New Jersey's "name and shame" efforts and "unique" gun-grabber suicide tools
• Firearms News: The Swiss EU disarmament referendum and ATF's swamp director nominee

Since I won't be here to promote them I'd appreciate help spreading the word. Also, you may find earlier articles you haven't seen, so feel free to give any you find worthwhile a boost.

That's it and now I've still got some tasks to complete before I head out, first and foremost turning feral sons Uday and Qusay's shock collars up to "Max" to keep them from escaping in my absence.

See ya on the other side.

When the Balloon Goes Up

There's a new click-through graphic over in the left sidebar for BalloonGoesUp.com, run by Ron Larimer, who's been blogging about "training, tactics and gear used by civilians to prepare for the likely challenges we will all face" since October 2011, and who "decided to expand the mission of WTBGU! to include providing the best gear available for training, competition and preparing to survive the 1st 72 hours after a critical incident" this past August.

Go ahead and tour the site, spend some time looking at what he offers, and importantly, how he thinks. If you like what you see and are in the market for what he's got, you might as well get it from someone you think merits your business.

By way of full disclosure, I've decided to give becoming an affiliate a try, meaning I'll get a modest referral commission to help fill feral sons Uday's and Qusay's gruel bowls on orders originating from WoG.  They're holding their bellies and eying a trembling Humphrie the Wonder Pig as we speak.

There's an App for That

Find and rate businesses who support Second Amendment rights. [More] 

Their press release gives more information.

We discussed a similar effort back in March. I can't say how the two ventures compare, because I still carry an old clamshell pull-start model, so those of you who are not reta...uh...technologically challenged will need to weigh in with your own comparative product reviews.

New-fangled gizmos are tough for me.  When I was in college, the hot new bar novelty was Pong, so by the time the gaming industry took off, I was a "grup" and didn't have incentive to learn such things, which seemed geared for much younger people. That doesn't mean we hadn't mastered what was necessary: I recall (in the days when many smoked cigarettes at their desks) transcribing assembly parts lists onto 80-column forms to be punched into cards to feed a mainframe. My first "PC" had a 512K drive, an amber monitor and a daisy wheel printer. I recall being irritated as hell the first time I tried to use a mouse, because the damn thing seemed so non-intuitive. 

And when I see the ease with which feral sons Uday and Qusay navigate through all the intricacies of making what's on a screen conform to totally confounding controller commands, and all the stuff they seem to be able to do on devices called "phones" but that do so much more, none of which I grok or see as necessary, all I want to do at that point is keep small furry mammals from eating the eggs. Trying to learn to keep up convinces me if I'd been born a couple decades later, I'd have been a prime candidate for attention deficit drugs.

But for those of you who haven't outlived your usefulness and aren't obsolete, by all means, do try out this new application and make sure you let everyone know if you get value from it.

It Can't Happen Here

Remember this provincial bigot?

The one who's big rebuttal was:

How many incidences of violence where someone needed a gun to protect themselves in the 38 years of the fair have there been? Zero!

Well, lookee here:

Man in Jets jersey robs Manhattan Beach bank

Apparently a note and a green shirt is all it takes when you're disarmed and conditioned to give 'em what they want (hoping against hope what they want isn't you).

And look where it happened:

The yellow is the bank.  The purple is the area of the fair from the initial link (and, incidentally, the place where I first conceived the "Authorized Journalist" concept). The red is my old condo.

Many's the time I hitched feral then-toddlers Uday and Qusay to the stroller and made them haul loads of bricks up that hill...

Hey, I'll bet Sharon Tate thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too. I'll bet she and her friends had never seen anything like that there before...

All it takes is once.

Still More Election Coverage...

No, not for political offices. It's nearing that time of year when eligible members (Life and above, or members for five consecutive years) get to elect candidates for the NRA Board of Directors.

But there's a problem. [More]

You knew there would be.

Also in today's Gun Rights Examiner post:

• Len Savage on Lou Dobbs Radio. Find out how and when to listen.
• A call to action in Arizona...some gun bills need to get moving.
• Guess who the new Columbia Conservative Examiner is?
  

Anyway, click on the title link, and spread it far and wide to help me feed feral sons Uday and Qusay their meager daily crust of bread. It's cheaper than a tip jar, and you may just find the experience worthwhile.

The More Dead Children Through Mandated Ignorance Act of 2016

“The small hands of children and big power of machine guns are a deadly combination,” Markey said in a statement. “Assault weapons are weapons of war and should not be allowed in the hands of children." [More]

This lying parasite and every traitor like him has blood on their hands, because it's children who are ignorant of guns who end up "accidentally" shooting themselves and others (it's actually incompetence on the part of parents to not provide development -- not "age" -- appropriate training.

I handled that for my children, they never came closer to a mishap, and the damn busybodies can keep their snotty noses out of that relationship. If I'd relied on central bureaucratic control, we wouldn't have the fine young savages feral sons Uday and Qusay have grown into.

Markey gets bonus points for repeating the Sugarmann lie, and his "small hands" fixation would eliminate plenty of adults who wouldn't measure up.

Fortunately, this will go nowhere  -- at least for now. But it does show how the state monopoly of violence cultists throw up in-your-face harassment every chance they get.

What, Me Quirky?

Mike and David are certainly quirky, and way too direct for mainstream sensibilities, but they are the real deal.  You want the full story on Gunwalker, you go to them. [More]

Thanks, Kevin Wilmeth!  This is exactly the kind of stuff that really helps get the word out, and is especially relevant to the GRE column I have in mind for today.

Darling kid in the profile photo, btw.  Reminds me of the one I posted of me with feral sons Uday and Qusay on our old GunTruths site.  The one in the hat  is a college junior and the one in my lap is a high school senior who's as tall as I am now.

Here's an old family video of me applying my parenting skills and them responding in kind.

"Quirky" indeed.
