So some selfish little moron has blown away nine people in a church in South Carolina. And predictably every blood-dancer from Barack Obama to Stephen King has already gone on a crusade to blame the gun.
Never mind that the murderer was such a sociopathic creep that he killed those innocents despite observing that they were nice to him in the hour he sat praying with them. Never mind that the murderer was a racist pig. Never mind that he was a criminal with an existing record (nature of which is so far unknown). We’re about to be plunged into another one-sided “conversation” about how all “reasonable” people will now support “reasonable” victim disarmament gun control. And how anybody who doesn’t agree is a fanatic, a racist, the possessor of an undersized penis, a hater, etc. etc. so on.

I’m not going to address him or them because they don’t matter.
Our freedom to own firearms and to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities stands beyond them all.
Pass a law demanding we submit to universal background checks? We will flout it.
Pass a law demanding that we turn in our standard-capacity magazines? Make us obey.
Pass a law insisting that we register whatever you consider the politically unpopular weapon of the moment? Come and find them.
Pass a law attempting to make the Second Amendment more conditional than it already is? We’ll laugh. Because we don’t get our freedom from any piece of paper and we won’t surrender any more of our freedom for some piece of paper, either.
Ban this or that type of ammo? More will slip through porous borders. More will be made in secret places. Ammo isn’t complicated.
Ban homemade guns or the increasingly marvellous tools to produce them? Oh my, you dream, you dream, you dream, you pathetic control freaks in legislatures and police departments everywhere. That genie is long out of its bottle.
Pass laws that punish us for the deeds of creeps like South Carolina’s church shooter or the nutcase of Aurora? The merely confirms what we already know: that you “controllers” consider us your enemy even when we are not — which ends up making us your enemy in fact.
You want to provoke violence? Then take more freedom. Or try to. Then blame the peaceable for the crimes of the wicked.
You only imagine — you dream — that you can stop us from owning the tools of self defense and home and community protection.
Go on and dream it, all you blood dancers. Dream on and leave us alone and all will be well. Dream — and try to impose your sick fantasies on us, and you’ll discover you’ve created yourself a nightmare.
Beyond that, the only answer to would-be murderers is to defend against them. And there’s no need to answer anybody in their blood-dancing, victim-disarming fan clubs because the only and ultimate answer is that we are free no matter what they try to do.
And that’s self-evident.

What in tarnation do you think 1950’s NYC ‘zip guns’ were?
Lessee, 2015 minus 1955, that’s 65 years ago!
Claire Wolfe is still alive?
You did write about it.
My first thought, too! Glad to see her writing!!

One answer to this particular case would be to prosecute the kids father to the fullest extent of the law for purchasing a handgun for someone he should have known was not legally able to own one.
Now things are much simpler with 3D printers...
Yeah, I guess she did...
They have another column about Karl Rove being a jacka.... but that’s

That's all I'm going to say...that's all I *need* to say.
She is writing quite a bit, and has frequent columns in Back Woods Home magazine.
She has a blog at backwoodshome.com, along with another favorite author of mine.....Massad Ayoob.
I would just chalk this up to the national socialist’s double standard once again.
When a member of a ‘more equal’ group does something like this, it’s deemed to be just their responsibility.
In other cases that the national socialist’s don’t think are worthy of existence it’s deemed the responsibly of everyone in that group with the Confederate flag thrown in for good measure.
I’m confused. Isn’t this article writing about it?
That’s great. I remember reading her a lot in the late 1990’s (I think it was).
Her sentiment was similar then: don’t waste your time arguing with these assclowns. Go out and better yourself by learning a language, planting a garden, educate yourself in something that interests you, learn to shoot better and hunt, etc.
