#NotOneMore anti-gun hashtag not as viral as media wishes

It depends on what the meaning of the word “viral” is, because that will certainly be news to tracking websites like What’s the Trend and hashtags.org, where it’s not even registering as significant. Looking it up on the Twitter website, it appears to be an active enough hashtag, but then, it’s getting a lot of artificial help from the media. It also looks like not all who are using it are doing so in support of citizen disarmament. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the useful idiot antis are going to need a lot more than one stupid, minor social media fad if they intend to win the cold civil war they’re trying to heat up.

Original Intent

Well, to be fair, it was back when we only had the original 57 colonies... [More]

Besides, no one bothers with that stuff any more.

And, speaking of intent, that's by design.

Always Willing to Admit When I'm Wrong

Happily, in this case:

Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel, a former DreamWorks executive with strong backing from Hollywood studio heads, finished in third place. 

And here I'd assumed she'd be a shoo-in.

Not that Elan Carr is going to be anything to celebrate. If he were, he'd have gotten, like, 12 votes in that district.

I have a tough time buying a staffer can send stuff out with no  direction, oversight and sign-off. [Watch]

To me, the story is no longer about differences of opinion regarding what constitutes judicious open carry.  It's about policy and authorized approvals.

They Can't Say They Don't Know

They may remove the posts, but they can't erase the proof that they've been told about a gun threat made in anger:

Seems fair. After all, I got the cops sicced on me over this.

Enemy Action

Kurt looks at yet another planned assault. [More]

We touched on this yesterday.  What a miserable...

I'm still looking for help with that word...

Booming Sales

Will the same people open their wallets to support their right to continue owning and buying them? [More]

I'm reminded of a rights rally in LA that drew hundreds two weeks after a gun show that drew 40,000. A gun show that soon was forced to move out of state, incidentally, due to political harassment resulting in it being banned from county property.

Inmates Running the Asylum

Last autumn, Kate Millett was inducted, along with Nancy Pelosi, into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. [More]

And doesn't that just say it all?

Anybody know Greek?  As far as I can get using Google translate, τρελή γυναίκα means "madwoman," but I can't figure out how to correctly pronounce it with English characters so I can add "ocracy"to it, to come up with a word for a Prozi "feminist" system of government.

The Brightest and the Best

“The university is constantly saying to these students that they’re the brightest and the best,” she said, “but then all of the sudden as soon as there’s a political aspect to them being anti-gun, then [gun-control advocates are] saying that students are too irresponsible for that.” [More]

It's called blowing smoke up your...

I talked here about that statist dolt Mike Fitzpatrick backing Charlie Rangel disarmament schemes. Any gun owner who votes for him thinking he's somehow getting the "lesser of two evils" is a self-deluded fool.

Two-Way Radio

One way: Hosts get fired for politically incorrect comments about transgenders, calling them the same name gun owners are called all the time: "Nut jobs."  Because it's "hateful."

Other way: Prozi who wanted to shoot an NRA board member calls Joe the Plumber a "nutcase," rails against "penis-challenged NRA types" and wants to engage in a duel, but that's not hateful and he keeps his syndicated slots.

We are controlling transmission.
