And yeah, I know. I chalk it up to people adopting the mindsets of their circles and environments. It's funny, because you take a look at some of the themes he introduced to comicdom in re government registration/persecution of those perceived as a challenge to its monopoly of violence, and you'd think he'd have been smart enough to make the connection had someone helped him work out the analogy.
And yeah, I know. But I just don't "know."
He was a unique man. I got much enjoyment from his work. My pursuit of happiness has been more enjoyable because of what he produced.

About That Broward County 'Voter Fraud'
I've gotten a ton of email on this, more links than I can read let alone post here.

Who Do You Trust
I was taking a bit of Twitter flack over the weekend from some guy who said he didn't trust various sources on the "thoughts and prayers" statement reportedly made by the Thousand Oaks murderer because he says they're biased. He made a point of replying he didn't trust Ammoland either, as if that automatically invalidates what I write without checking the claims and the linked citations.
I checked out his feed and found a tweet where he was longing for the good old days when journalists just objectively presented the facts, and cited as his prime example "the most trusted man in America."

Damn Haters
Traveling 29,000 miles back and forth across Africa, David Livingstone was horrified by the Arab Muslim slave trade. His letters, books, and journals stirred up a public outcry to abolish slavery. Livingston often passed caravans of 1,000 slaves tied together with neck yokes or leg irons, marching single file 500 miles down to the sea carrying ivory and heavy loads. Slaves who complained were speared and left to die, resulting in slave caravans being traced by vultures and hyenas feasting on corpses. [More]Lew Alcindor, you're going to change your name to what?

There's a bit of a Facebook discussion going on over my "Red Flag" piece.

California Bar Killings
Twelve dead as trenchcoat-wearing gunman storms student night at country bar: Suspect kills himself after hurling smoke grenades onto dance floor and killing cop in California [More]First order of information gathering business: The Google News link for Borderline Bar and Grill can be accessed throughout the day and beyond for updates and breaking information.
My first impressions:
- The atrocity was committed in #1-with-gun-grabbers California. No "gun laws" will ever be considered enough, yet that's exactly what we're already hearing screams for.
- "May issue" generally means "won't issue," and in any case, the standard application prohibits concealed carry in "a place having a primary purpose of dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption."
- This is a country bar, like the Las Vegas killings were at a country event. Is it a mere coincidence that the "target demographic" has generally been predisposed toward a traditional American mindset?
- Seconds counted. The police were three minutes away.
- When we do get an ID on the perp, look for all his social media to go on lockdown beforehand or soon thereafter, meaning we will be dependent on what the "authorities" share with the DSM for all information.
UPDATES to follow:
- .45 handgun... at least no "AR-15," but handguns were the original goal, so look for a return to the roots. I won't be surprised to see a push to reclassify all semiauto handguns as "assault weapons," and the gun-grabbers have already telegraphed what they want to do then.
- Tattooed trenchcoat-wearing gunman ... Ian Long, 29,
- Coed.com helpfully (for Don Lemon) advises all he was "white," a courtesy that all too often seems unoffered in other cases.
- Former Marine with PTSD who was said to live with his mother...
- 5 Fast Facts
- Six off-duty, unarmed police officers from various agencies were at the bar when the shooting began...
- Another observation from looking at all the media profiles on the guy-- past practice says if he had been a "right wing extremist" we'd be having that rubbed in our faces by now. That everything I've been able to find is silent on his motivaters makes me wonder, since I find it hard to believe someone doesn't know what they were.
If I Had to Guess...
'I don't think she'll be doing anything violent,' said Spitz, leader of Pro-Life Virginia and sponsor of the Army of God website. 'Of course, no one knows, but I'd be very surprised.' [More]You won't be the one who's surprised, Spitzy.
