Omitting Core Purpose of 2nd Amendment in Semi-Auto Arguments Advances Total Disarmament Agenda

You can't ensure "the security of a free State" by depriving "the people" of their ability to provide it.

Our Minds are Made Up -- Don't Bother Us with Reality

Taken to Task?

I was just contacted on Twitter with this reaction to my last AmmoLand piece. Since there just isn't enough of me to field all the stuff that comes my way AND do one-on-one detailed responses to everyone, I'm sharing this one here. 

I wrote a short thread about some of the history behind 7-11's ban on armed clerks. Thought you might be interested. https://t.co/q5okvETL1W

— carl von spooky claws (@killfile) October 11, 2020

So "Circle K uses off duty leo's"? Ah, the old "Only Ones" argument! I see that's working about as expected.

Followed by:

"This issue has nothing to with gun rights. It is simply a counterintuitive decision that recognizes that attacks are not static. Attackers will escalate violence to overcome defenses. This is about perverse incentives and effective tactical strategies.  "

Anything or anyone that denies another human being from exercising his or her rights has everything to do with that. Besides, don't tell me, tell these guys.

Since when is surrendering to monsters "an effective tactical strategy"?

As for cameras, everybody's wearing masks now, and as for "drop-boxes," I can't help but note the stores are still being robbed. Besides, if somebody is threatening my life, your money isn't what I intend to protect.

What this has nothing to do with is an employee acting as a de facto security guard but with the ability to defend his life from a predator. It has nothing to do with stopping a robbery or chasing after a shoplifter, neither one of which that are paid and trained and steeped in legalities enough to do. It has everything to do with a person having an absolute right to stop someone else from threatening to kill them. No one can morally deny them the choice to make what is their call. 

That doesn't mean they will all be armed, as I'm sure many will be idiots who believe the grabber bs, but if Mr. VonSpookyclaws wants to challenge More Guns, Less Crime, I'd like to see his creds and his research. 

Sure, Col. Cooper cautioned us that being armed does not mean you're proficient. That said, many do more shooting in a weekend than police are required to do for qualification. Unsourced anecdotes about old Southland policies before that evidence was in and not providing copies of those policies, their context, and all results, including successful DGUs, hardly constitute an overwhelming dataset to justify one-size-fits-all. It speaks more to corporate CYA. 

And there's plenty of reason to presume most sub-80 IQ morons knocking over convenience stores don't do any practice at all because that's too much like discipline and work. Don't assume that just because someone works behind a counter they don't have the training -- and most importantly, the will -- to prevail. 

The argument this person is making, that if you are armed robbers will just take you out first, is a phony "rationale"  used to disarming everyone anywhere. 

So no, I'm not really interested in hearing the same old whiny rationalizations and excuses masked as informed rebuttals that I've heard for 30 years. Especially when they ignore a fundamental question raised that we've seen enacted many times: WHAT IF WHAT THEY WANT IS YOU?

Can't Be Trusted, Period

Moustapha Diop, 18, was attempting to load a firearm in the same room as Jarrett when the weapon discharged, striking the victim in the abdomen [More]

But wait, as late TV pitchman Billy Mayes used to say, there's more!

Diop is charged in Richmond with reckless handling of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, destruction of property and violating the curfew. He was later charged with failure to appear in court on those charges in Richmond on Sept. 9. ... After his real identity was learned, the U.S. Marshals Service started searching for him, and he was arrested Sept. 11 in New Jersey ... Back in New York after his brush with the law in Richmond, Diop was charged in the July 2 shooting of a person riding a bicycle who was wounded in the left buttock ...

Give that man a custodian!

Would I invoke outrage if I wondered if Moustapha came from a long line of native New Yorkers...?

Dead wrong again, but rather than doing the decent thing by retracting and apologizing, he continues to obfuscate and try to save face.

"I'm an educated guy who cares about the world and trying to make it a little better place, his profile says.  "I've never seen someone spread so much hate and ignorance as Trump."

That must be why he can't spell "plotting" and goes about spreading hate and ignorance. How does a demonstrably ethics-challenged moron get > 100K "followers" again? Oh, that's right, by appealing to Democrats.

Anybody know who the "Washington Post reporter, who retweeted it to his half a million followers" is?

Point/Counterpoint

 Dr Carrie Madej reveals how Big Tech collaborates with Big Pharma to introduce new technologies in the coming vaccines, that will alter our DNA and turn us into hybrids. [More]

Reporters for the government-funded BBC Reality Check calls her claims "false and misleading."

Who among us has the knowledge and understanding of the science to weigh in one way or the other? About the only thing we have is experience assessing the credibility of what the government, the pharmaceutical companies, the medical establishment, and the media chooses to tell us.

Unless we have a good understanding of the complexities, any conclusion we come to will be a leap of faith, and that's as dangerous as anything.

Messin' with Texas

James Van Der Beek shares details about why he and his family are moving from LA to Texas [More]

After recovering from my first reaction of "Who?" (sorry, I have not watched network television in decades) I was curious enough to wonder why this was being featured on Faux News. Is he that rare example of a Hollywood family values "conservative"?

Well, there was this after Hillary lost:

Trump voters: In his victory, can we all take a breath and acknowledge the racism, misogyny & bullying we all find unacceptable? ... Feeling a lot of pain tonight... trying to make sense of it. I feel the anger too... trying to see a way out of it. Maybe it's too soon...

So if he's the benchmark for the American family man, what must that make anyone to the "right" of that?

Just what Texas needs: Another Democrat "influencer."

See, the pre-election publicity over a feel-good non-story now makes sense.

I just wonder at what point his being a heterosexual married to a white woman will no longer work in his favor.
