A sentiment with which I heartily agree.

Is the Stupid Party going to stab gun owners in the back on gun control?

Are Congressional Republicans Already Caving In on Gun Control?

Republicans should realize that caving in to the Democrats’ ban demand amounts to party suicide. By that point they have have already caved on tax hikes and may have taken part in slashing our national defense. If they also cave on the Second Amendment, what’s left for them to stand on

Gun owners really need to let your representatives know the consequences of "compromise".

Understand what you are asking for. Scary...

...doesn't even begin to describe it.

What you’ll see in the rebellion

Of course it does...

... "cause you ain't gonna be the one attempting that "prying" thing.

Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. (I would also raze the organization’s headquarters, clear the rubble and salt the earth, but that’s optional.) Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people refused to give up their guns, that “prying the guns from their cold, dead hands” thing works for me.

Violent bastards aren't they?

Learning from history

Americans never give up your guns

Yes We Can!

Compromise

Something to keep in mind.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Gannett To Publish Names Of All New York Pistol Permit Holders

Looks like they want to play hardball. Stranger has some suggestions and Sebastian provides a handy list of papers owned by Gannett. Let's make 'em hurt.

While you're at it you should consider ending your business relationship with Dick's Sporting Goods and Pizza Hut as well. Giving up Pizza Hut's wings is really gonna hurt, but I've got priorities too.

Gun Owners have a "top priority" too

Too make sure you don't get squat done.

Obama makes passing gun control measures a priority for 2013

Our track record is a bit better than yours.

Nothing new here.

We've always had a target on our backs.

Now that's funny

Petition to Keep Obama Safe From Guns

What can I say? The man has a way with...

...words.

I've gone on a movie binge..

...the last couple of days. The movies in question would be The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Jack Reacher, Premium Rush, and Lincoln.

I was hesitant to go see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I'd read Jackson was stretching the material to three movies and I couldn't see why it couldn't be done in one and after all you can only add so much padding before you get a boring damn movie. I went and saw it anyway. I'm glad I did. The first movie ends at about the book's halfway mark. It kept my attention throughout. The 48 fps 3D was the best 3D I've seen to date. I'll be interested to see what Jackson does with the next two Movies.

I read a Lee Child novel years ago but I couldn't tell you anything about it now. I enjoyed Jack Reacher enough that I may have to go back and read some of the Reacher books. It's a good action thriller. It also has Robert Duvall playing a gun store/range owner and he isn't depicted as some nut job selling firearms illegally on the side. Good stuff.

Premium Rush was a fun ride. Nothing special just a good solid piece of work by all involved.

All I'll say about Lincoln is go see it. Go see it in the theater. It's well worth seeing.

Have you contacted your Representatives yet?

What are you waiting for? Get off your ass and do it.
