Scuttle Mark Kirk: It's Past Time for an Example

Way past time.

Bear with me while I connect some dots.

Western Rifle Shooters Association analyzes the new federal "assault weapons" ban bill.

Note the Orwellian purpose these liars use: "To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act."

The head liar behind this tyranny is "Republican" Mark Kirk. We've met this piece of...work before.

45superman tells us about bearding the lyin..uh...lion in his den--or at least his apologists.

The chief apologist is your typical obnoxious RINO who calls himself "Team America"--fitting for someone who sounds like a wooden-headed marionette. Per this great patriot:

I myself own a Baretta92 with several high capacity clips. I also support concealed carry - for me - not sure about the rest of the yahoos out there (but that's another debate).

But do I really NEED my Baretta to carry 15 bullets instead of 10? I think I'd be OK without the extra firepower.

Do we NEED guns that can shoot right through a policeman's vest?

Do we NEED .50 caliber rifles that can take down a plane?

Rambo might say yes, but Mark Kirk says no, and I happen to agree with him.

Go read the post and the comments. Get good and mad at these devoid-of-all-principle aparatchiks. Then give 45s some backup and let these weasels know what you think of them.

Here's the thing: If you're a gun owner and live in District 10, you can continue to cede the GOP to the Big Tent Bolsheviks--or you can send a wider message that what worked in District 10 can be applied in every district in the land.

It's amazing what behavior modifications a little judicious human sacrifice can produce--even people who aren't true believers will fall in line if for no other reason than self-preservation.

There is another choice, you know. And for those soulless cowards over at Team Amerika for Gungrabbing Traitors, who say this will just ensure a win for Dan Seals, who will then take all our guns, well--y'all are WarOnGuns regulars. You know what to say to that.

This is the perfect candidate to make an example of--he's just been downgraded from "Lean R" to "Toss Up," so he's vulnerable--and in a close race, it doesn't take much at all to tip the scales.

"But if Mark Kirk loses, you'll lose all your guns, not just the ones we want to ban!" they bleat, like we haven't heard that one before.

What's that Tweety Bird line? "He don't know me vewy well, do he?"

Newsflash: I won't lose any rights unless I surrender them or they are stripped from me by overwhelming force. Besides which, the decision to surrender or not is mine.

Let the Team Amerika comments sink in and ask yourself if you really want to let that gaggle of party hacks dictate the terms under which they will surrender your rights...

Which would you rather see scuttled? Your political voice or tyrant wannabe Mark Kirk's bid for ever more coercive power?

We're the Only Ones Taking a Tip from a Cop Who Does

Jacksonville police are investigating an anonymous allegation that a narcotics detective was providing inside information about criminal activity to at least one female acquaintance who used it to collect reward money.

I can't be the "Only One" who saw that coming...

What Does It Say About a Government...

...that trusts foreign powers more than its own citizens?

And what does it say about citizens who put up with--and in many cases demand it?

In the Belly of the Beast

A pro-RKBA rally.

In Chicago!

Armed and Safe has the details.

Setting the Example

The US military cannot locate hundreds of sensitive nuclear missile components, according to several government officials familiar with a Pentagon report on nuclear safeguards...

One official said the number of missing components was more than 1,000.

Sounds like time for the feds to crack down on more gun stores.

snort...Honoring...snicker...Freedom...guf-FAW!!!

For her efforts to help more Americans live lives of purpose and dignity, I am proud to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Donna Edna Shalala. (Laughter.)

Oh, stop it, "Vote Freedom First President"! You're killin' me!

We're the Only Ones Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bacy Enough

Troy Molde awoke at 3 a.m. Thursday to police flashlights shining in his face. Two uniformed Lakeville officers were in his bedroom, knocking on the wall to wake him up.

They were there, they said, to warn him to keep his doors closed and locked.

A personalized wake-up call, "Only Ones" style.

And yeah, Troy sounds like he needs to wake up. It's a question of how.

A Turnaround for Wayne?

But times have definitely changed, and LaPierre—predicting that he will be vilified for bringing it up, “but I don’t care”—told the audience that “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

“Instant responders,” he said, alluding to armed teachers, school staff or in the case of college campuses, armed students, “are always better than first responders.

Welcome aboard. It's about damn time.

From BATFU to BFF

From "Maximum Mike" to "Moderate Mike":

Sullivan added that most licensed gun dealers are law-abiding and that, to be fair, ATF needs to apply the rules more uniformly across the country.

Holding out the olive branch:

We don't even want the Alabama Free Militia people to be injured...

We just want them to, you know, obey us or be destroyed.

Why how very reasonable and common sense.

This is a dangerous time. If Congress does not pass a new "assault weapons" ban, who wants to lay odds that BATFU won't step up efforts to "reinterpret" things...?

Meanwhile, Over in Sarah Brady Paradise

Japanese professionals in their thirties are killing themselves at unprecedented rates, as the nation struggles with a runaway suicide epidemic.

Newly published figures show that 30,093 people took their own lives in 2007 — a 2.9 per cent increase in a year — leaving the country as the most suicide-prone anywhere in the developed world and rendering government efforts to combat the problem a failure.

If it's any help, our "experts" here say citizen disarmament is effective at reducing suicides. Maybe you could try that?

We're the Only Ones Making You Kneel Before Us Enough

"Are you going to kneel there and argue with me all goddamn day? … How about nodding your head and saying 'OK, yeah I won’t do it again'." [More]

Listen to the audio of the encounter, linked at the bottom of the article, and prepare to have your blood boil. These brownshirts exemplify the odious and unmerited elitism that is "The Only Ones."

Yo: Bob Barr! Libertarian Party!

Forget something?

If you'd like to know what he's got to say for himself for supporting the Lautenberg Amendment, send an email to his campaign and to the LP and tell them you expect a candidate who is truly different to give a straight answer.
