The left won’t be satisfied until they’ve confiscated all our weapons.

The Real Navy Yard Scandal

It is inhumane not to treat those suffering from mental illness.
By Charles Krauthammer

In the liberal remake of Casablanca, the police captain comes upon the scene of the shooting and orders his men to “round up the usual weapons.”

It’s always the weapon and never the shooter. Twelve people are murdered in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, and before sundown Senator Dianne Feinstein has called for yet another debate on gun violence. Major opprobrium is heaped on the AR-15, the semiautomatic used in the Newtown massacre.

Turns out no AR-15 was used at the Navy Yard. And the shotgun that was used was obtained legally in Virginia after the buyer, Aaron Alexis, had passed both a state and federal background check.

As was the case in the Tucson shooting — instantly politicized into a gun-control and (fabricated) tea-party-climate-of-violence issue — the origin of this crime lies not in any politically expedient externality but in the nature of the shooter.

Renewed the campaign after setting up the pins using another Manchurian Candidate. For some odd reason it seems that gun crime rises in direct proportion to the amounf of efforts used by Obama to disarm his serfs. Now I wonder why that would be?

Garry needs a drink: Chicago Police Chief blames a gun, not gang violence

September 21, 2013

Poor Garry McCarthy.

He’s nicknamed “Streetlight Assassin” by some of us for his inglorious reputation as the guy who shot out street lights in Jersey outside a neighborhood bar with his State Cop brother while drunk one evening many years ago (while shouting racial epithets at nearby neighbors coming out of their homes to see what was going on).

That was before he was arrested trying to throw his weight around after his daughter called him because she didn’t want to take a citation like a good girl, but instead played the “do you know who I am?” card rather poorly.

Make no mistake, "Expanded background checks" is CODE for "National gun registry".

Our current government has EXCEEDED the level of tyranny of the British at the time the FIRST American Revolution started.

You must be thinking of phony scandals. He didn’t do that. No. Somebody else did that. I never drew a red line. The world governing bodies did that. Wasn’t me.

Why Police Militarization Makes Us Less Safe

By Robert Farago on September 22, 2013

I’ve written a large numbers of posts attacking the up-armoring and military mindsetting of U.S. police. My main point: SWAT comes in, civil liberties go out. America moves closer to a police state. Meanwhile, innocent lives are lost. But there’s another angle to this. The innocent lives lost aren’t just the ones taken by jumpy no-knock cops wielding battering rams, flash bangs and fully automatic rifles. There’s also a price to pay in terms of the over-proliferation of SWAT teams, generally. That’s the real story behind the shooting at the D.C. Navy Yard . . .

Yeah, you can start by telling police to stop spraying bullets at innocent bystanders. The police down here are taught how to shoot a gun. If you would stop hiring Acorn people, maybe you would cut down on gun violence.

Obama is just another screaming democrat jumping on the bandwagon against guns because it is politically expedient!

Dear Obomba: that was a Military Base. Military should be armed at all times to guard against threats to the Constitution, internal and external.

Nothing to do with Children.

Controlling the sons of Soetoro would be far more effective.

including expanding background checks to sales online and at gun shows

Is this assho*e really this stupid, or does he think we are?

ALL on-line gun sales have to go through dealers with ALL the paperwork, including the NICS background check.

Also, MOST sales at gunshows are subject to the same restrictions, The only exceptions are private gun owners are free to sell their PRIVATE PROPERTY, in accordance with the individual State's laws.

Larry Elder and Carlson are spot on! Political Correctness = non-judgmental....as early as 1960 this was taught in public schools from grade one on. With such a touchy feeley, over sensitive population, it is no small wonder the over employed (departments & agencies) starting with A...each department/agency has a mind numbing number of other agencies or departments and employees A - B.....too many workers to care to do their job. Too many department heads who are afraid of being called racist or worse.....think of the government employees around the nation who are walking time bombs.
