Schimel’s anti-gun rant shows desperation for relevance
But Schimel’s not done. Her new “common sense” crusade involves standing in front of a “Gun Violence Prevention Mural” (no doubt every bit as effective as a candlelight vigil) “located outside of Brower Park, a notorious location for gang activity and gun crimes.” No, she’s not there to confront and eliminate the violent criminals. She’s there to make it more difficult for her constituents to legally protect themselves from them by “call[ing] on State Senator George Maziarz to withdraw his ‘Stand Your Ground’ legislation (S.281).” [More]

Feinstein continues to misrepresent Mexican gun tracing numbers

But the thing is, the data doesn’t make that clear at all, and in fact, cautions against jumping to hysterical conclusions.

I called his number 10 minutes ago and his wife Rosey answered. She said he's having trouble breathing, they're worried some fluid may be getting into his lungs and they're taking him in for another CAT scan.
These folks have been through a lot. Now would be a pretty good time to send another plea up the chain of command.

Another Simple Way to Help
Also note the "Gunwalker Man" linked graphic in the WoG sidebar.
Look, I'm going to be a pest about this for the next month, because screaming and stamping feet is the only tool I've really got, and it's what resulted in others finally paying attention to Mike's and my incessant noise-making.
The fact of the matter is, the other side wants to make a citizen disarmament propaganda piece, they get funded. And they get plenty of free publicity...uh..."news stories".
We don't have that luxury. If we want something done, in this case a truthful narrative, we have to do it all ourselves as a grassroots action, meaning we need many, many small contributors doing what they can. A link from Drudge would expand the reach on this by more than an order of magnitude.
Tomorrow I'll probably have another bright idea I'll bug you with. Speaking of which, have you written that letter yet? See, I don't do this so that people can just consume, maybe leave a comment and then move on. I do this so people will become force multipliers and their own agents for change.

‘Blood on their hands’ seeks to document truth about Fast and Furious
That said, the film may not get made.

Here's the thing about Metro's finest: If you're eating candy bars and french fries, that's one thing--chances are they can ruin your day and still go home at the end of their shift. Otherwise...

Vanderboegh Medical Update: Good News
I just got off the phone with Mike. He informed me that he's sitting up and had just finished "a strip of bacon, some scrambled eggs and grits, God love 'em," and was "awaiting judgment" on whether he would hold them down, but had high hopes as he was victorious yesterday over "spaghetti and meatballs and beef tips on rice."
He said "they're talking about letting me go home tomorrow," and had to hang up because his doctor came in the room.
He called me back a few minutes later and said he's scheduled to be released tomorrow morning and will be getting home healthcare visits from a nurse.
I observed this must mean they had the infection under control, and he said "We'll see, at least it's not progressing."
I also told him he sounded a lot stronger and more lucid, and he said that's because they've taken him off the medical marijuana so he's not stoned. I'd forgotten to mention he was being given Marinol in my previous posts.
We then had a nice conversation about anti-Federalists, Patrick Henry and the strengths and weaknesses of the Constitution.
He tells me he may be doing some posts later today--I'd be surprised if he doesn't.
Half-an hour later...
He called me back with some info on a potential story I can't talk about now, which led into a 45-minute discussion on approaching political and economic storm clouds, and I am very pleased to note that intellectually, he's firing on all cylinders. I'm very encouraged this morning.

If her major premise is that people with guns result in more murders...
And if the NRA, one of the most heavily-armed citizen populations on the planet, brought tens of thousands of members and supporters into the mix and not a single murder occurred because of them...
I can't get this to work.
But then again, this is a logician who calls bringing millions of dollars into the local economy "contemptuous."

I see--so whether they even belonged there or initiated the confrontation or not, if they feel threatened, they have no duty to retreat, they can stand their ground, they can use lethal force and they won't be second-guessed.

Gunwalker Johnny-come-latelies helping to give Holder an escape route
That’s it? And this is supposed to do what to a dominating, radical agenda-driven career belligerent, backed by his president, his party and his press, who demonstrates his ongoing smirking contempt for their impotence with each day’s continued stonewalling? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it's past time to knock off with the words and start up with the sticks and stones.
Considering Smarm
Oh, I see what she's doing--taking anecdotes and then making pictures with a gun in them to misdirect the blame through an appeal to ignorance-based emotions.
I can't reproduce any of her stupid crap here because of a rather restrictive and anally-stated use and duplication policy (funny how the ones who cause all the problems with guns would show no respect for her intellectual, physical or primordial property rights if it suited their purposes to take any damn thing they wanted from her), but I can point you to plenty of pictures where there are no guns--and more's the pity.
These bleeding heart herbivore types never consider the harm they do in their self-righteous benightedness.

Vanderboegh Medical Update
I just got off the phone with Mike.
He's got MRSA, a hospital-acquired infection. He's hooked up to a feeding tube. He says his "blood values are fairly good."
I asked him if he was able to read, thinking how mind-numbingly boring it must be, and he said yes, he's reading Katie Pavlich's book--she had a pre-publication copy sent to him.
He still sounds weak and may post something later today at Sipsey Street, but "probably not."

I discussed this briefly here.
There are some more videos here and here.
I'd like to have time to explore this more deeply, because those agenda-driven frauds at NBC News really deserve to have their unethical propaganda practices exposed for all to see. We'll see--there's a ton of stuff on my plate and only one of me.

A Simple Question
I ask a simple question: Would the other parents of victims be forever thankful if a professor or student was allowed to carry a firearm and could have stopped Seung-Hui Cho before their loved one was injured or killed? I would be. I also suspect that the tragedy may not have occurred at all if Cho knew that either faculty members or students were permitted to carry their own weapons on campus. [More]I have a simple question, too: Do you think, deep down inside, Colin Goddard and Larry Hincker think the same thing?

This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light. [More]Hey, why let a good meme go to waste?
We're the Only Ones Here to Help Enough
"He was there because of his emotional state, but to threaten him, he didn’t threaten him at all. We were telling the officer, 'please leave him alone, if you can’t help, then leave him alone,' " Ramirez Sr. said. [Read]Never, never, NEVER call them for stuff like this, because they're not qualified to counsel and they're trained to use escalating levels of force to obtain total obedience.

This Day in History: April 18
Every Man in the World, who is thoroughly acquainted with the Subject, knows, that Great Britain never can obtain a Peace, without a Diminution of her Honor and Dignity. It is impossible without Miracles, and therefore the Englishman who undertakes to plan for Peace, must be convinced of this and take it into his Plan, and consequently should avoid with the utmost Caution every Word, which should excite these Ideas in the Minds of the People. For People cannot bear the Ideas of national Disgrace. They stir Passions which make them mad. [More]

Just spoke with Mike. I note he posted yesterday but not today. I asked him how he is and he said "Up and down."
He sounded more down than up, and he admitted he was tired when I told him that, so I let him go. Let's pray tomorrow he sounds more up than down.
