As you all might have heard, there’s been a mass shooting in Munich, Germany.
I suspect far-right wing German Nationalists. Here’s why:
Via the Daily Mail in the U.K.:
Witnesses said that the gunman screamed ‘I’m German’ and ‘f*** foreigners’ before shooting.
And this:
I tend to think that it is some sort of far right-wing, German Nationalist group.
Welcome to Obama’s world.
Here is another horrible black on white crime that is being totally ignored in the main stream media. If the races were reversed; this would be a huge story in the media.
Jeremy Cook, An 18 year old white male, had just moved to Toronto. He left his cell phone in a taxi cab and was using GPS to track it. At 5:15 am the GPS led him to a group of black males. Instead of giving him his cell phone back, they decided it would be more fun to shoot and kill him.
Police say the perps are black males aged 18 to 21.
The story via the Toronto Sun:
Police are searching for three suspects after a teen who recently moved to the city to pursue a carpentry career was gunned down in a parking lot Sunday while trying to track down his lost cellphone.
Officers arrested three men in a cab soon after the deadly shooting of Jeremy Cook, 18, but they were released after it was determined they weren’t involved.
“We had reasonable grounds at the time to arrest these individuals because at the time there was reason to believe they were responsible,” Const. Ken Steeves said Monday.
Cook was originally from Brampton, Ont., but recently moved southwest to London. He had never been in trouble with the law in London and didn’t know his killers, police said.
So far the investigation shows Cook accidentally left his cellphone in a taxi earlier that morning or the previous night. He used a device to track the phone to an address, police said.
Cook and a relative went there and approached a silver Mazda sedan with three men in it at about 5:15 a.m. Sunday.
Notice that the race of the perps in this story is not included with the story? Notice also that the police actually let the people, that were suspected in the murder go? Notice how this story is not all over every news channel here in America and in Canada? That is because the story does not fit the liberal agenda and message, therefore it is ignored.
Another thing too; if this man had been armed, maybe he would have survived this little incident. This is why I believe that anyone, who does not carry a firearm, in this day and age is a open target. I believe that everyone, who is able to do so; should register themselves and take a good gun safety course and own a firearm. This is not the 1950’s anymore, we live in a very dangerous society now, it pays to carry.
Of course, you know, the left is going to play this one for all it is worth. Considering what’s happening elsewhere.
Detroit — The 20-year-old armed robbery suspect who was fatally shot by a federal agent on Monday was “armed with a hammer,” Detroit’s police chief said Tuesday.The shooting, on the city’s west side, angered residents who had to be placated by the city’s police chief.The Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, a task force that included officers from the Detroit Police Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Marshals, were serving an armed robbery warrant in the 9500 block of Evergreen at the time of the shooting around 1:13 p.m., Detroit Police Chief James Craig said.The officers were allowed into the home to conduct their search, Craig said.The incident comes at a time of heightened tension between police and black communities in some U.S. cities, spurring a national debate about race and police tactics.In the Detroit incident, the suspect was black, as was the federal agent who shot him.

The man was armed with a hammer, he tried to attack a federal officer, and he got shot. Just another day in the big city. But, as you know, because he is black, as was the agent that shot him; because of the stuff happening everywhere now, the left and their media lap-dogs are going to exploit this, in hopes that there is another riot in Detroit.
Because that, is what marxists do. Marxists exploit stuff like this to disrupt the system. You watch and see, summer is coming and Detroit has a white mayor. You watch, another uprising is coming and the marxists will be in the middle of it.

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?
The photo: (Via Twitchy)
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.
Via First Read:
Whither assault weapons ban: “Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Monday that a controversial assault weapons ban will not be part of a Democratic gun bill that was expected to reach the Senate floor next month,” Politico notes. “After a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday, a frustrated Feinstein said she learned that the bill she sponsored — which bans 157 different models of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — wouldn’t be part of a Democratic gun bill to be offered on the Senate floor. Instead, it can be offered as an amendment. But its exclusion from the package makes what was already an uphill battle an almost certain defeat.”
My first reaction was one of relief. The bill was idiotic at best. The reason why this bill died is because Democrats know what many of the rest of America know –that America is gun nation; it always has been and always will be. America’s freedom from the British was done at the hands of guns. Furthermore, the Democrats tried this once before, in the 1990’s and they paid a terrible price for it. Harry Reid might be a liberal Democrat, but he is no idiot; he does want to be reelected to office again.
The point is this; and even my own Democratic Party voting Mother believes this — that outlawing guns of any sort is not going to stop crime. Because the criminals are always going to be able to get guns, no matter what the Government does to try to prevent it. Because there is this thing, called the “Black Market” and it does not go empty very often. Especially seeing how we let some guns walk across the border. I would not be shocked to see some of those guns end up back in the States eventually and someone killed with them.
In closing: Everyone, including me, wants to see an end to shootings, of any sort. But, passing such idiotic bills, such as this one here, is simply not the answer to the problem. The answer is encouraging parents to be involved with their children’s lives. Another good idea, and as much as I know this is going to sound like a cliché; it is the truth —- getting children involved in Church is not a bad idea. It worked for me. I spent most of my young life in Church. If anything at all; it served as good alternative to the streets and the trouble that I could have gotten into in them in Detroit. I did have parents who were strict and involved in my life, but the Church was a big part of that too.
We just cannot legislate our way to an utopian society, it just does not work. It has been tried and it has failed every time.
Just my opinion.

This seems to be a bit silly, but I really think the NRA did not know what was coming:
Via the Weekly Standard:
“The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended today’s White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals,” reads the NRA statement.
“We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners – honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works – and what does not.”
I hate to be the one to say “Well Duh!” but….um…:
The NRA should have known better than to even remotely think that they were going to get anything other than what they got from this Presidential Administration. This is why they need to hire me to do their political consultant work. I can tell them everything that they need to know about guns and Democrats. 😀
The only real quibble I have with this, is this: The gun culture that Bob Costas is referring to, is mostly promoted by Gangster Rap. Most of those guns that are in the inner cities are illegally bought and owned. Most legal gun owners are upstanding citizens, and not deranged nut jobs like the guy who shot up that theater or the guy who shot Gabrielle Giffords.
The painful truth is, that both of these guys bought these guns legally, and even I, as strong of a supporter of the second amendment as I am; I will concede that background checks would be a good idea, on the state level, with states sharing information. Now that would be a good idea. As for what kind of background, I believe checking for like serious health illnesses, such as mental illness and whether that person takes medication for some sort of illness is not unreasonable.
Either way, this video is very good. I think Costas defended his position well, I do not agree with it. I do not believe that the “Gun Culture” is necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that it has been exploited, by the gangsta rap culture.

Better and Better Writes:
So here’s the thing: Tamara has got a touch of basal cell carcinoma in her nose. And as much as that sucks, it sucks way worse when you don’t have health insurance. Which she does not.
I don’t know what the Moh’s procedure costs to remove a chunk of your body and stitch it back up into a recognizable feature again, but it seems like you can’t ask for a tissue at a hospital without it taking a severe hit on your yearly budget. Genuine surgery is dammit expensive to be paying out of pocket.
Here’s the bleg: Tamara has a tip jar on her blog. It’s easy to use. I’ve used it before. If you click on it, you can donate directly to Tamara, with no middle man. Think of it this way: if she were in town, wouldn’t you take her out for dinner and perhaps a beverage? What’s dinner run, these days, at a place where you don’t bus your own tables? $25? $30
Well, you know what to do; head on over and give the lady some donation loving. Cause there isn’t anything worse than being butthole deep in medical bills and no insurance to cover them.
For the record, I do not know this young lady at all. But, she’s a gun lover, and a supporter of the second amendment; that is good enough for me. Not to mention she looks awful darned hot with that assault rifle in her hand. 
Wonder if she has a boyfriend? 
*shakes head* 
Sorry, got distracted. Head on over to her blog and drop a couple bucks in the jar to help the pretty lady out.
Needless to say, this is some interesting reading here:
Fellow Sportsman:
About this time four years ago, I penned an open letter to you that spoke of the Barack Obama I grew to know while I was a lobbyist in the Illinois State Capitol. At that time, I described Obama as a stony-faced liar who will do whatever it takes to force his extremist agenda on the American people. I warned you that electing Barack Obama would be something that hunters, sportsmen, target shooters and gun collectors would live to regret.
In writing to you four years ago, I backed my assertions about the danger of an Obama presidency by citing his legislative record. That record includes voting no less than 4 times against legislation that would allow law-abiding citizens to defend their families against home invaders without fear of being arrested or being sued. This shameful record of Obama’s also included his support for legislation that would run venerable Illinois firearm manufacturers such as Armalite, Lewis Machine & Tool, Rock River Arms, and Springfield Armory out of business.
I reminded you as well that Obama was a long-time member of the board of the rabidly anti-gun Joyce Foundation. As a member of the Joyce Foundation board, Obama approved the donation of millions of dollars to gun grabbing groups such as the Violence Policy Center and the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. Those, and other groups funded by the Joyce Foundation, are bent on destroying the Second Amendment to our Constitution – and Barack Obama was always there with checkbook in hand to help them out.
No indictment of Obama’s anti-gun sentiment would be complete without dropping the names of some of his close friends and confidants. First, we have renegade Chicago priest Mike Pfleger. Many of you will recall that Pfleger openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and legislators who were pro-gun. Obama is also strongly affiliated with guys like former Chicago mayor, Richie Daley and international gun-hater George Soros. Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
Four years ago, there was overwhelming evidence that Obama was no friend to the law-abiding firearm owner. Nevertheless, many shooters bought in to Obama’s bogus claims of ‘respect’ for the Second Amendment. To their detriment, they believed Obama’s assertion that he would not take their guns away from them.
After issuing my open letter to firearm owners four years ago, I received a lot of emails, letters and calls from hunters and outdoorsmen who told me I was wrong about Obama. They claimed that Obama truly understood the Constitution and that the breaking of his ties with the Chicago establishment would move him towards a more gun-friendly state of mind.
Now, four years later, I’m afraid I must say, “I told you so.” Obama has repaid the gun owners who supported him with the appointments of two anti-gun, anti-freedom justices to the Supreme Court. And, just last week, we heard Obama promise millions of debate-watchers that he would work to reinstate Bill Clinton’s ban on semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. Obama went even a step further by hinting that he was contemplating actions to ban handguns as well.
I would advise everyone to finish reading this one. This is why I am voting for Mitt Romney. Because the second amendment is important and Mitt Romney will protect it.
I have always believed, even before I switched sides politically, that owning a Gun was a right of every American. Because of this most beautiful and cherished right is why lives are saved. Hence the story below:
Via The Sun Sentinel:
MIRAMAR — As the 55-year-old Miramar homeowner prepared to go outside to investigate a sudden power outage, the man’s wife spotted someone crouching by the family cars in the driveway.
"Grab your gun," the businessman’s wife told him. "Just in case."
The man’s daughter called her dad a hero on Monday — the day after he gunned down one of three masked intruders who tried to bull their way through the family’s front door.
"He saved our lives," she said.
Under the state law known as the "Castle Doctrine," a person has the right to defend himself and even to use deadly force in defending his home against an intruder.
"He believed that his life was in danger," said Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Rues. However, she added, the state attorney will decided what — if any — charges will be filed.
One of the three suspected intruders was hit by multiple gunshots, said Rues. When police arrived they found him sprawled outside the front door.
Flown by helicopter to Hollywood’s Memorial Regional Hospital, he was listed Monday in serious condition. He has not been charged.
At least two other suspects escaped, said Rues.
The drama in the 5200 block of Southwest 149th Avenue, in the gated Reserve at Huntington, began about 11:45 p.m. Sunday with the loss of power, the daughter said. When the family saw that other homes in the neighborhood were not affected, her father decided to go out and look around.
"He was going to go unarmed until my mother told him to take the gun," she said.
As the homeowner cracked open the front door, the three men charged, according to Miramar police. One of the three may have been armed, said Rues.
Shoving his wife to safety in an office off the foyer, the man fell backward while opening fire, according to a riveting account provided Monday by the couple’s daughter, who was on the phone with Miramar police.
Not owning a gun in this day and age is basically being an open target.
Get Armed, Get Loaded and Get ready.
