Photo: What happens when you try to attack someone with a gun

k-bigpic

This right here is a picture of a black thug punk, who decided to attack and try to beat up a Latino man, who happened to be a legal gun owner. This photo ought to be showed in every classroom in this Country. This is what happens to a black man or anyone else, who decides that the “thug” lifestyle is a cool thing to live.  I have one thing to say about this photo:  Thank YOU JESUS for the second amendment and for the God-given right to defend oneself. Trayvon Martin thought it would be cool to try and attack someone; and he lost the bet. May others learn from this mistake.

I am all for children being protected at school…. But…..

I do believe that this is just a wee bit overboard. 😯

The story:

OWINGS, MD — The father of a middle schooler in Calvert County, Md. says his 11-year-old son was suspended for 10 days for merely talking about guns on the bus ride home.

Bruce Henkelman of Huntingtown says his son, a sixth grader at Northern Middle School in Owings, was talking with friends about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre when the bus driver hauled him back to school to be questioned by the principal, Darrel Prioleau.

“The principal told me that with what happened at Sandy Hook if you say the word ‘gun’ in my school you are going to get suspended for 10 days,” Henkelman said in an interview with WMAL.com.

So what did the boy say?  According to his father, he neither threatened nor bullied anyone.

“He said, I wish I had a gun to protect everyone. He wanted to defeat the bad guys. That’s the context of what he said,” Henkelman said. “He wanted to be the hero.”

The boy was questioned by the principal and a sheriff’s deputy, who also wanted to search the family home without a warrant, Henkelman said. “He started asking me questions about if I have firearms, and [the deputy said] he’s going to have to search my house.  Search my house?  I just wanted to know what happened.”

No search was performed, and the deputy left Henkelman’s home after the father answered questions in a four-page questionnaire issued by the Sheriff’s Office.

Look, nobody likes the idea of any kids being shot or guns being brought to school by kids, — period, end of story. But, merely talking about guns?!?! I tend to think that is just a little over the top. This is not nazi Germany or the communist soviet empire. We do have a right to freedom of speech.

Second of all, now don’t think that I am going to drone on like some Alex Jones reject about how this is some sort of conspiracy by the Obama Administration to take all of our guns or something silly like that, sorry, I don’t play that game here.  If anything at all, it is overly cautious school board, who is reacting to the recent shootings that have taken place over the past few months. I can see why they did it; but, I think the principal and teachers went a bit overboard.

There is nothing wrong with trying to be safe, but being paranoid can be very dangerous itself. Plus too, censoring kids speech just makes you look like fascists.

Oh and too, searching a house, without a warrant?!?!?  I don’t think so! You have probable cause, and a warrant signed by a judge —- or you take your silly donut eating pig ass back to the station where you belong. 😡

This whole trampling on the rights of the American people for the so-called “greater good”, just pisses me the hell off. 😡

Good Question….

This is why I love the gun-grabbing left; because their hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens. Just like the Republicans and their big-government statist policies.

Anyhow, sellout blogger, Glenn Reynolds, himself quite the statist hypocrite; notes the following:

HYPOCRISY: Hey, why does Piers Morgan have photo with gun-loving, violence-glorifying Snoop Dogg as Twitter profile?

Hypocrite much, Mr. Morgan?

Again, this is why I love being an independent politically, (Who does lean to the right slightly, but I digress.)  and being a bit of a free-thinker; I see the hypocrisy of both sides. This is a perfect example of that very thing.

 

Two examples of Democrats not getting the memo on guns

The first:

Via the Vegas Sun:

Assemblyman Steven Brooks — Someone forgot to give the man the memo!

A Democratic assemblyman is in jail, arrested for threatening Democratic Speaker-elect Marilyn Kirkpatrick, according to North Las Vegas Police and Democratic sources familiar with the situation.

Assemblyman Steven Brooks, 40, of North Las Vegas made threats to harm a public official Saturday afternoon, police said in a news release Sunday morning. A source said he was arrested with a loaded gun after threatening to shoot Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick and witnesses who corroborated the allegation prompted police to begin searching for Brooks. About 5:30 p.m., Brooks was seen driving in the area of Carey Avenue and Mt. Hood Street, where he was taken into custody without incident during a traffic stop.

Another Democratic source with knowledge of the situation said Brooks publicly threatened to harm Kirkpatrick because he was unhappy with the committee assignments given to him by Kirkpatrick. The 2013 Legislature begins Feb. 4.

The Second:

Democratic Delegate Joseph Morrissey — Ed Brother??!?! Just kidding. 😉 Another Democrat, who didn’t get the memo!

A Virginia lawmaker who drew gasps from his colleagues when he brandished a borrowed AK-47 during an anti-gun speech Thursday was found guilty in 2002 of committing a vicious 1999 assault, was sanctioned for legal misconduct while prosecuting a rape case, spent six months in jail for contempt of a federal court, and saw his law license revoked in 2003.

Democratic Delegate Joseph Morrissey brought the rifle to the floor of the House of Delegates to demonstrate how easy it is to carry firearms in Virginia. Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert interrupted Morrissey’s speech to ask him to remove his finger from inside the gun’s trigger-guard — a basic gun-safety practice.

“I don’t think you should be able to possess an assault rifle,” Morrissey told ABC News on Friday.

But yet, we, who support the second amendment are the crazy, Tea Party, domestic terrorist types.

How right you are Mr. Tex Avery, how right you are…. 🙄

Follow Up: What the President is doing and not doing on gun control

First of all what he is NOT doing:

  • The President is not going to order the Government come and round your guns up and take them away. This is being promoted by those who wish to make money on your fears. (See: Alex Jones)

What he is doing is this: (H/T Reuters)

Obama speaks on gun violence prevention:
• Obama proposes 23 “executive actions” on gun control
• Obama’s 23 actions can be implemented without Congressional approval
• Obama’s 23 “executive actions” costs some $500mil in FY 2014 budget
• Obama proposes requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales
• Obama directs CDC to conduct research into causes, prevention of gun violence
• Part of Obama’s CDC direction includes influence of video games
• Obama proposes ban on armor-piercing bullets through manufacture, import ban
• Obama proposes program to allow schools to hire 1,000 “school resource officers”
• Obama calls on Congress to pass new gun trafficking laws
• Obama calls for reinstatement of assault weapons ban
• Obama proposes 10-round limit on ammunition magazines
• Obama nominates Todd Jones to be director of ATF
• Obama urges Congress to confirm Todd Jones
• Document: See full list of Obama’s gun violence prevention proposals

One thing I need to point out here; you see where it says, “Proposes” and “Calls for?” This simply means that Obama wants Congress, that being the Senate and the House, to bring those items up for a vote. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT OBAMA CAN JUST DO THOSE THINGS BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! So, despite what Matt Drudge or Alex Jones might tell you; Obama is NOT, I REPEAT NOT, NOT, NOT coming from anyone’s guns anytime soon!

The worst thing that is going to come out of any of this, is that there will be a mandatory federal background check, including one’s mental health; made on those who want to obtain a gun permit; and in the opinion of this writer, that is not a bad idea. This will keep guns out of the hands of the whack jobs, like the kid who shot up that theater in Colorado.

The rest of this stuff will never pass the house in Congress at all. Do not believe me?

Here is Fox News’s report:

The story:

President Obama’s sweeping plan to address gun violence was met Wednesday with swift and stiff resistance by gun rights advocates and conservative lawmakers, setting up a tense debate that will be held on the airwaves, in congressional hearing rooms and in communities across America.

The package proposed Wednesday is the most comprehensive in decades. The president called for a new, tougher assault weapons ban and a 10-round limit on magazines, as well as legislation to bar the possession of armor-piercing bullets and require criminal background checks for nearly all gun sales.

Separately, he approved 23 executive actions while calling for additional funding to address mental health and school security.
The movement comes in the wake of last month’s school massacre in Connecticut, where 20 children and six adults were killed.
“If there’s even one life that can be saved, then we’ve got an obligation to try,” said Obama, joined at the White House by four children who wrote to the president following the Newtown, Conn., tragedy.

But several lawmakers said the president’s proposals in large part would not have prevented a shooting like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School. They accused the president of glossing over potential factors like the entertainment industry and the country’s mental health system, making clear that the legislative proposals could face an uphill climb.

“Nothing the president is proposing would have stopped the massacre at Sandy Hook. President Obama is targeting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said. “Rolling back responsible citizens’ rights is not the proper response to tragedies committed by criminals and the mentally ill.”

So, as I say, nothing big is coming off here. Despite my initial fears; this is a bit of a nothing burger really.

However, I will say this; this will hurt the Democrats in the long run. The President’s party will pay for this little move in 2014 and 2016. You can bet on that one. Wherever the Democrats are easily routed in elections; they will be. Bank on that one.

Also too, just a little opinion; this from the NRA, did the gun right crowd no favors at all. What idiots. 🙄

Video: James Yeager tries to take something bad and make it into something positive!

I have to give James Yeager credit, he is trying his darndest to turn this potential problem in a positive thing. Hopefully, the authorities in TN will see this and give him his gun permit back.  I also want to say, I fully understand where Mr. Yeager is coming from; with all the myths that going around, about what happened at Sandy Hook.  It is enough make anyone, especially those who support the Second Amendment and gun ownership very angry.

Here’s two video of James Yeager, one of him being interviewed and one of him interviewing an attorney:

Hang in there James! We are with you buddy! Make this into something positive. Good job! 😀

 

State of Tennessee suspends James Yeager’s gun permit

I think this was a smart move, because this guy really did something very stupid. Even though, he did back it up a bit. It still did send a bit of a scary message.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security has suspended the handgun carry permit of a local man who threatened to “start killing people” to protect his Second Amendment right.

In a statement released Friday officials said they had suspended the handgun carry permit of James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response based on “material likelihood of risk of harm to the public”.

On Thursday, a video of Yeager angrily claiming he would “start killing people” if President Barack Obama moved forward with gun control measures began to go viral on the internet.

“The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public’s safety. Mr. Yeager’s comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail,” Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.

Again, I think it was a smart move; I think he should meet with Law Enforcement and show that he is not some sort of loon and then get his permit back.

Now another thing that I feel the need to bring up, being that I am a white person and all. Is that the fact that one blogger out there; is accusing James Yeager of getting a slap on the wrist for being white. I have one question, you race-baiting twit —- are you serious? You got your black progressive President; what the hell else do you really want, white people in chains? That is what your feckless leader screwy Louie Farrakhan would want! You sound just like him too. I though that the election of Barack Obama was going to end the all of this racial-based politics? I guess not. 🙄

That right up there, is why I am not a huge fan of the Democratic Party; no, not because I hate black people. But because of the stupid racial based politics, and the identity politics that goes on in that party, all the time. Way I see it, that stuff happened over 300 years ago and Abe Lincoln ended slavery and in 1964, blacks were liberated everywhere. So, the way I see it, they need to get over it and move on and quite acting we white people are still putting them in chains.

Now, to be fair; that same stuff goes on in the Republican Party. It goes on with the Jews. I mean, that stuff happened 70 years ago, and yet, we still have people make a cottage industry over it and White Anglo-Saxon protestants, like myself, are still being prosecuted, because we will not kiss the ass of the neoconservative right in this Country. (See Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan) and some people, who dare to speak the truth are losing their jobs. (See Rich Sanchez)

It is sick, it needs to stop and we need to move on as a Country. But, as long as there are people getting rich on this sort of thing; it will continue. It is tragic, but it is, what it is.

It must be nice….

Looks like David Gregory of MSNBC will not be charged with a crime for displaying a high-capacity magazine on TV. William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection has the scoop:

Just released by D.C. Attorney General there will be no prosecution of David Gregory despite a finding that there was a clear violation of the law (emphasis mine):

Having carefully reviewed all of the facts and circumstances of this matter, as it does in every case involving firearms-related offenses or any other potential violation of D.C. law within our criminal jurisdiction, OAG has determined to exercise its prosecutorial discretion to decline to bring criminal charges against Mr. Gregory, who has no criminal record, or any other NBC employee based on the events associated with the December 23,2012 broadcast. OAG has made this determination, despite the clarity of the violation of this important law, because under all of the circumstances here a prosecution would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust.  Influencing our judgment in this case, among other things, is our recognition that the intent of the temporary possession and short display of the magazine was to promote the First Amendment purpose of informing an ongoing public debate about firearms policy in the United States, especially while this subject was foremost in the minds of the public following the previously mentioned events in Connecticut and the President’s speech to the nation about them. There were, however, other legal means available to demonstrate the point and to pursue this line of questioning with the guest that were suggested to NBC and that could have and should have been pursued.

OAG also appreciates that the magazine was immediately returned to the source that NBC understood to be its lawful owner outside of the District and that the magazine in question, with NBC’s assistance, has been surrendered to MPD. OAG also recognizes the cooperation NBC has provided in the investigation of this matter.

Proving that if you rich, white, liberal and you happen to be friends with the DC attorney general; you can pretty much do what you darned well please.

Unbelievable. 🙄 Whatever happened to rule of law? Whatever happened to the justice system in this Country? …and they wonder why people go on these shooting sprees because they are simply pissed off at the Government?
