Important Reminder for SF Gun Owners

If you're a gun owner who lives in San Francisco, attorney Gary W. Gorski wants to hear from you.

French Killing African-Americans!

Hard to say because it's been 11 days since two African- American teenagers were killed, electrocuted during a police chase, which prompted all of this.

Quick--somebody tell Minister Farrakhan and Rev. Sharpton!

Remember--only CNN's Carol Lin and her Establishment Lapdog colleagues are professional enough to be trusted with officially-recognized journalist status.

Are You Connected?

By virtue of the fact that you're reading this, you obviously are. But it's surprising (and disappointing) how many gun owners spend no time on the internet, and rely on establishment media for their news and information--assuming they're paying any attention at all.

"Are You Connected" is my Rights Watch column for the November issue of GUNS Magazine. Print out a copy and give it to a gun-owning friend who isn't.

First Do No Harm

If you had a funny noise in your engine, who would you go to? A pediatrician, right?

Same with a ghosting problem on your new plasma TV--you'd consult your child's doctor, wouldn't you?

No?

Why not?

Because education and perceived stature as an authority figure notwithstanding, when you get them out of their area of expertise, they're just as fallible as the rest of us, aren't they?

But somehow, they assume--and want the public to believe--they are qualified to prescribe a cure for gun accidents in the home--even though their specialized training in gun safety may be non-existent. And worse, we've seen this junk science codified into law--with penalties for disobedience--and tragic, outrageous results like pitchfork murders.

That's why it's unacceptable to see the medical community continue to pose as authorities in a field where its qualifications have not been established. And it's dissapointing to see Forbes parrot this nonsense without asking the basic questions: What would happen if you needed a gun and it was locked up and separated from its ammunition? What would happen if a fire broke out, and your extinguisher was similarly disabled?

Several years back, I teamed up with professional risk manager and former LA Deputy Sheriff Joe Horn to create the Physician Qualifications and Liability Form to challenge doctors' credentials for offering medical advice in an area where they have not been trained.

The form established three things: that the physician has or has not received certification and training in home firearms safety counseling; that the physician's medical malpractice insurance does or does not cover engaging in activities for which the physician is not certified; and that the physician accepts legal financial liability should their advice result in injury or death.

It's past time we started pushing back on this. I'd like to see gun owners print out this form and have a copy handy whenever they go, or take their children, to the doctor, and to produce it if the doctor initiates gun safety couseling.

Most may mean well, but we all know what the road to Hell is paved with.

"A Republic, If You Can Keep It"

We apparently can't. Most have betrayed the founding principles for the false promise of "democracy."

The majority of our countrymen have the government they deserve. And they're dragging the rest of us down with them.

MEASURE H (SF Gun Ban)
YES . . . . . . . . . . . . 89,696 - 57.91
NO. . . . . . . . . . . . . 65,185 - 42.09

In other election news, gun-grabbers won in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City.

Leave Our Chains Alone!

Unless respect for the rights of D.C. residents to make their own laws -- and common sense about gun safety -- prevails on Capitol Hill, by week's end the city's sensible and broadly supported gun safety law will be history.

So I suppose D.C. residents can vote to suspend the rest of the Bill of Rights, too?

And what's so "sensible" about ensuring everyone but violent sociopaths is defenseless?

The good news is, the circulation for WaPo and other major propaganda rags is plummeting.

More Anti-Defense Propaganda

Sometimes I wonder--are Establishment reporters really evil, really stupid, or a combination of both?

This "report" is essentially a free infomercial for the Million Mom March.

God, mainstream "journalism" sucks.

From the Department of Stupid Acronyms

Teaching young people how to make good choices is the focus of the new program called EKG, or Educating Kids about Gun Violence.

So why isn't it EKGV?

Civil authority, which craves a monopoly of force, is playing mind games with the Inmates of Tomorrow to condition an aversion response to guns. This is nothing less than a psy-ops program designed to elicit compliance with the wishes of those in power.

Part of the time-honored technique involves providing real-life examples that illustrate the outcome you wish to achieve--just like the skanky girl who ended up giving VD to the quarterback in the mandatory "Health Class" movie.

"I bought a handgun. I sold the gun illegally. I sent the gun into a heated confrontation that ended in someone being killed. And I lied to the police about what happened," said Johnson, who was released from prison in September after serving 10 years of a 35-year sentence for murder.

"I sent the gun into a confrontation"???

What the hell does that mean, and what the hell is "Johnson" doing out of prison?

The lesson here: It's the gun's fault. Without guns, we'd all be dancing with bunnies in meadows under rainbows.

Note how "Star reporter Tim Evans" just parrots the party line. Good job, Tim! Way to propagandize. We all realize guns are only used for evil purposes, and there couldn't possibly be another side to this story--at least not one worth mentioning to the cud-chewers dumb enough to pay money for your rag. Thank goodness the government only wants to recognize lapdogs like you as "official journalists."

Also note who's in on this evil "joint venture"--Project Safe Neighborhoods. What did I read about that effort? Oh, yeah:

Norton said the NRA can help make Project Safe Neighborhoods a success.

"The President is counting on your involvement in Project Safe Neighborhoods," she told NRA members. "We will get guns out of the hands of criminals," Norton said to a round of applause.

A round of applause.

UPDATE: Nicki also has something to say about this.

Oh, the Humanity!

Music icon Madonna recently had a bad experience while hunting, which has left her so shaken, that she has vowed never to pick up a gun again in her life... And she added that even though she is a non-vegetarian, she will never be able to kill anything herself again and would rather leave the gruesome job to other people.

Just like she left the gruesome job of shooting an intruder in her yard to other people.

But none of this stopped her from signing an "Open Letter to the NRA" from Handgun Control, Inc. that appeared in USA Today, demanding, among other things:

• A ban on semiautos

• No guns for people old enough to bear them in the military

• Waiting periods to purchase

• Mandatory trigger locks

• One gun a month

Like I said in my HANDGUNS Magazine article, "Clearly, when it comes to taking care of Number One, Madonna’s living in the material world. And when it comes to championing freedom for anyone other than herself, she’s an Immaterial Girl."

Ontario Calls for Tougher Gun laws

Of course they do.

They have no idea how to address the real issues behind violent crime, and they have to say something...

Trust Busters

Jon Corzine doesn't trust YOU.

And his wife of 33 years doesn't trust HIM.

But it's not like Doug Forrester deserves trust, either.

Prosecutor's Office Holds 2nd Gun Surrender

Our enemies are getting bolder--they're no longer calling them "buybacks." They're calling them what they are--a surrender.

I guess they don't need to mask their contempt with "sportsmen" like Frank Hollis leading the charge to wave the white flag.

Mr. Hollis, I believe Mr. Adams would like to have a word with you.

We're the Only Ones Professional Enough...

Really.

Analogies

GunShowOnTheNet compares the rights thieves to termites:

They are an infestation that works unceasingly at nibbling away valuable structures. Causing untold damage and harm.

That works. I've also seen them compared to a cancer.

Me, I've taken to thinking of them as AIDS--interfering with the body politic's ability to defend itself against infection.

No analogy will be perfect, but their use may be helpful. You wouldn't think about compromising goals with an insect infestation, or with a deadly infection.

Machine-Gun Toting Pirates Attack Ship

And the cruise ship got lucky--they were able to outrun their pursuers.

What about repelling attackers?

Sorry.

Per the International Maritime Organization:

Firearms

45 The carrying and use of firearms for personal protection or protection of a ship is strongly discouraged.

46 Carriage of arms on board ship may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents with firearms carried on board ship is great. In some jurisdictions, killing a national may have unforeseen consequences even for a person who believes he has acted in self defence.

I wrote about this obscene situation years ago in my GUNS & AMMO article "A Pirate's Life For Me."

UPDATE: Publicola also has something to say.

All in the Line of Duty

As mentioned in the post below, attorney Gary W. Gorski is looking for plaintiffs against the San Francisco gun ban, which will probably pass on Tuesday.

One of the cases Gary is currently working on involves police brutality at Sacramento County Jail. The Sacramento Bee article this post links to contains graphic photos, as well as links to videos demonstrating tactics employed to ensure obedience.

Watch the videos and look at the pictures, and imagine that instead of being arested for alleged drinking, the victims were gun owners caught in possession of banned firearms.

SF Plaintiffs Wanted

From attorney Gary W. Gorski:

I’m looking for SF City Residents to act as Plaintiff’s for the SF Gun Ban which will take effect. I need volunteers ASAP!!!!! You must be a city resident.

The San Francisco Chronicle says "the motion seems poised to pass."

Please pass this information on to San Francisco gun owners. Gary's contact information is posted here.

A 5-Day Wait: For Stun Guns???

Imposed courtesy of the Miami-Dade County Commissioners, whose motto is "Putting the People's Business First."

These are the same geniuses who came up with the "Cellular Phone Conga Line," where women who suffered domestic abuse were given used phones to call 911 after they were attacked.

"Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!"

"Wa-a-ahhh!!!"

The commissioners have a seasoned grasp of cause and effective responses rivaled only by the Toronto Police.

"The Gun Charges Are a Ruse"

A blogger who criticised the Libyan government online has been imprisoned for 18 months, according to Human Rights Watch. A Tripoli court convicted Abdel Raziq al-Mansuri of illegal possession of a handgun...

"The gun charges are a ruse. The authorities went after al-Mansuri because they did not like what he wrote."

Toronto Launches New Gun Amnesty

City police have launched another gun amnesty program aimed at curbing gun violence.

This time, the only incentive offered is knowing you did the right thing...Even if law-abiding citizens turn in just one weapon, Blair said that's one less gun for gangs to steal.

Translation: Please?

Pretty Please?

Jeez, dude, you people and your desperation are pathetic. Why don't you just admit you don't have a clue and you're grasping for anything to help maintain the illusion that "authorities" speak with authority?

If there was truth in media, the story would focus on the utter incompetence of the Toronto Police Chief and political establishment to address violent crime. But The London Free Press, like virtually every other urban "news"paper in North America, is too vested and mired in facist advocacy of citizen disarmament for that to happen.
