The urge to act on gun control

It's not what you might think from the title.

H/T to Uncle.

A world without guns

Nasty, Brutish, and Short

What if...

In Georgia, an evil git breaks into a house during the day. The woman inside hears the man forcing the door, calls her husband, then and takes her two children and hides in a crawlspace. Once in the house the evil git opens the closet door behind which are the woman and her children. He finds the woman, her children, and a .38 revolver pointed at him. The woman empties the revolver into his face hitting him five times. She orders him to the floor and he complies. She takes the children and runs. The police later find the evil git in a nearby driveway. He survived. The woman and her children were frightened but unharmed. It ended relatively well, but what if...

What if the evil git wounded had still been able to attack the woman? What if the evil git had been accompanied by other evil gits. What if the six rounds in the woman's revolver hadn't been enough to get the job done. That's the rub. The prohibitionists seem to think they know how many rounds a person needs to defend themselves. They tell us ten rounds are enough. Reality is they don't know and I don't know. The woman is fortunate the six rounds in her revolver were enough. I'd rather she have had a semi-automatic pistol, in the caliber of her choice, with the "highest" capacity of rounds the magazine would hold. I'll err on the side of caution and the prohibitionist can pound sand.

Narcissist in Chief

For years my house has been...

...in North Carolina's 4th Congressional District. That would be David Price's district. For years, as a gun owner, I've had no representation at all from the man. Since the North Carolina Legislature redrew the Congressional districts my address is now in District 6 and Howard Coble is my representative. Now I've got a rep that scores four stars from the GRNC. I've got a rep that may actually hold some of the same positions on guns and the Constitution that I do. Maybe not all, but I'm still further ahead in the game than I was under Price. That's an amazing feeling.

It ain't a conversation, Mr. President,...

...if gun owners aren't included.

It's a lecture.

Yep

New Bill Whittle

Rule of Lawlessness

A Bullet in the Back

That would be gun control Chicago style.

Investigators say two men pretending to be customers walked into the shop Wednesday at about 5:25 p.m. The men attempted to rob Kozel and one of his employees. One of the robbers shot Kozel in the back, as he was trying to get to safety.

This is what the prohibitionists want for the rest of us. A law abiding citizen, unable to defend himself, dead from a bullet in the back fired by a criminal who ignored some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.

H/T to Thirdpower.

...and water's wet.

House Dems introduce new gun control bill.

Call, email, or fax your representatives and let them know where you stand. We need to stop McCarty and the the usual suspects in their tracks.

UPDATE: From John Richardson

Lots Of Bills Filed Fn Congress Yesterday

Assault Hammers?

According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle.

This is an interesting fact, particularly amid the Democrats' feverish push to ban many different rifles, ostensibly to keep us safe of course.

It's not about saving lives and never has been. It's about control.

H/T to the Duck.

What's going on in Illinois...

...and what we might expect the prohibitionists to attempt elsewhere.

The Floor Amendments In Illinois (Updated)

This should worry us all. Gun Owners in Illinois need to call their representatives and demand they oppose this bullshit. If this passes, what follows will be interesting and instructive.

Killing Them Softly...

...sucks.

America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Gang Problem

It's not about reducing violence. It's about controlling the bitter clingers. It's not about facts. It about manipulating the narrative to achieve their goals. It about that making a fundamental change in America whether we want it or not because they know better.

Happy New Year

I suspect it's all downhill from here. Then again...
