Turnabout Being Fair Play and All...

The pathetic wretches at Gunguys thought it would be cool to post NRA's tax return and compensation for key executives.

OK. Two can play that game.

Gunguys is part of the Orwellian-named "Freedom States Alliance."


The hoplophobe in the lead story photo on the FSA website is Thom Mannard, Executive Director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence.

Here is a comparable section from their 2004 tax return:



An interesting sidenote: Despite clear legislative advocacy, these folks claim tax exemption as a 501(c)(3) organization, that is, contributions are deductible.

Hmmm...

This is kinda fun! Shall we continue to play?

This Day in History: May 16

On this day in 1777, British-born Georgia Patriot and signer of the Declaration of Independence Button Gwinnett receives a bullet wound in a duel with his political rival, Georgia “city Whig” Lachlan McIntosh. Three days later, Gwinnett died as a result of the gangrenous wound. McIntosh was also shot in the duel, but the wound was not fatal.

Horrors! More victims of "gun violence"...

I've been busy and plain forgot to post the last two days:

May 15:

On this day in 1781, a 352-man-strong Loyalist force commanded by Major Andrew Maxwell surrenders a fortified frame building, named “Fort Granby,” to a Patriot force in South Carolina.

May 14:

On this day in 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention begin to assemble in Philadelphia to confront a daunting task: the peaceful overthrow of the new American government as defined by the Article of Confederation.

Federal Gun Registry is Working, Police Say

Of course they do.

Rep. Moron Proposes Tougher Gun Control

What?

"Rep. Moran"?

There's a difference?

Oh, the Inhumanity!

Bears killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors, witnesses and the zoo said Monday.

You mean real life isn't a Disney film?

A Bloomberg Conspiracy to Violate Federal Gun Laws?

The city hired undercover private investigators who, in teams of two, attempted "straw purchasing," where a convicted felon or someone who does not want a gun traced to him will use a friend or family member to pass a background check. Then the gun gets handed over to the suspicious person.

So if a municipality retains a private individual, he is somehow authorized to break federal law against "straw purchases"? If not, and since this appears to be an admission of a federal felony, where are the charges? And if these private investigators are breaking federal law under instruction from the Bloomberg administration, does that not make this a criminal conspiracy?
