The last straw

What will it be?

If I was living in the Virginia Beach area, this would be it for me:

Awful: School expels kids who played with airsoft gun on private property

The Virginia Beach seventh graders who were suspended for playing with an airsoft toy gun on their own private property have now been expelled for an entire school year.
The decision was made unanimously by a disciplinary committee consisting of three members of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools board, according to local news.
Khalid Caraballo and Aidan Clark are banned from Larkspur Middle School until at least January, when a new hearing will be convened to determine whether the boys can come back to school early.
Somehow, people have to show these petty dictators that they are employees of the people, and earn a living at the pleasure of the people. That school ends at the end of the school day and that anything at all that happens off school property is absolutely none of their business.

An example must be made. How about a blacklist of former school officials who have mindlessly adhered to "zero tolerance" rules, or worse, attempted to spread lies and disinformation to their students about our laws and history. Anyone on this blacklist would be shunned by all Americans, and ultimately end up in a cardboard box under a bridge or would emigrate to a country where such people are welcome.

I, for one, would be happy to donate some $$$ to a project to relocate these types to a more favorable place - North Korea comes to mind...

Maybe what we need is DEMONRAT CONTROL!

All the worst atrocities occur in places run by liberals and Demonrats. This is not a coincidence. This is either by design or due to their failed philosophy.

Gun Control? Obama's Chicago New U.S. Murder Capital

Hardly major news when we hear more about gun violence and murder in Chicago - in fact just one day ago a mass shooting in South Side park was reported, albeit fortunately with no fatalities. Chief McCarthy however soon got on the "assault" weapon band-wagon, working we assume on the basis that banning such rifles automatically prevents criminal aquisition and use.
In recently released statistics, the FBI reported there were over 500 murders in the Windy City in 2012, and yet as most know, the City is perhaps the largest single gun-free zone in the nation. Illegal guns of course are in plentiful supply but the good guys have no legal recourse to a means of self-defense.
There is a link to a bigger article -

Obama's Chicago Is Now Murder Capital Of U.S., FBI Says

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. By that definition, most of CONgress and all of the loudest screamers for victim disarmament ought to be locked up in padded cells - not running loose.

Email exchange

Every so often, I get an email from a friend, discussing gun control and violence. I thought I would share this one:

On 9/17/2013 8:56 PM,  Bill wrote:
Chuck, Jim,  the information that I have so far gleaned from the media is that the D C Shooter was a mentally unstable man who was permitted to own and use guns.  He was legally armed when he killed those innocent victims.  The information seems to be structured to advance an ideology.  It hasn't been easy to get detailed information, so whatever I have has been sketchy at best. I would like to know your opinions on
 
1) what happed, and,
 
 
2) how can this sort of tragedy be minimized, and,
 
 
3) is new legislation necessary?
 
 Mike,
this is big news here.  Did this make the news in the UK, and if so, what is the thinking about it?
 
 
 Please "respond to all"
 
ps:  other comments welcome also
 
Thanks
 
Bill
My response:
 Bill, as far as I can see, the guy came on to the base with a shotgun, attacked and disarmed two security people to get handguns, and proceeded to go shooting. Reports say many of the base personnel were armed - but evidently, not where it mattered.

There is no way to "minimize" this kind of crime unless we allow the government to institutionalize every person who ever showed any signs of anger or instability.

I believe that the proper legislative approach is to repeal all the failed "gun control" legislation, and allow the American people to exercise their rights as per the basic law of the land, the Constitution. Step one.

Next, we must dismantle the painstakingly built up framework of welfare and the dependency on government it fosters. This will be a long bloody fight, as so many Americans are hopelessly addicted to the system.

At the same time, we must somehow instill the values of a bygone era in the children of America, so that they grow up knowing how the system is supposed to work and that no one advances by stealing the bread from another in this country, but only by their own hard work and moral grounding.

I don't see either of these happening in our lifetimes.

One thing that has been ignored by the media and those mental giants in Washington is the fact that most, if not all,  of the perpetrators were either under treatment with psychotropic drugs, or had "gone off their meds" shortly before the incident. As many of these drugs carry dire warnings about suicide and other side effects, perhaps all such treatment should be carried out inside a secure facility until the patient is recovered, or for life if such recovery cannot be guaranteed. I fear this kind of power in the hands of our present "leaders" - remember the Soviet Union routinely used :mental hospitals" for "rehabilitation" of political dissidents.

The rise in violence in this country tracks the dismantling of our mental health infrastructure, the rise of inner-city welfare, and the destruction of family. I know that correlation does not prove causation, but both issues are worth looking into.

Here it comes...

As expected, the liberal idiots waste no time getting their blood-dancing shoes on:

Feinstein calls for new gun control laws again after Navy Yard shooting

California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein is renewing her call for new gun-control laws because of Monday’s deadly Navy Yard shooting.
“When will enough be enough?” Feinstein said in a statement Monday evening.
 Yes, I agree. When will enough be enough?

So, DiFi, how do you fix this?

NBC Washington: Navy Yard Shooting suspect took assault rifle, pistol from cops he ambushed

"Gun control" cannot work until every gun, everywhere, is destroyed - every military weapon, every police weapon, everything - is melted down - and every round of ammunition is destroyed. 

That's just the beginning. You also need to erase the knowledge of firearms from the collective memory of mankind - every book, picture, blueprint must be erased, as well as the memories of billions of humans. No trace of the concept of "gun" must remain. Of course, this means abandoning all aspects of a modern industrial society, but we know people were happier before the Industrial Revolution!

Now we get to the fun part. Guns require metallurgy and machine tools, so all knowledge of them must go. Ditto for chemistry - you can't make ammunition without some sort of propellant and primers, so all chemistry knowledge must go. This will case some slight disruptions as food supplies and medical supplies will dry up - but then, the Earth IS overpopulated. We must all make some sacrifices for the greater good!

So, now mankind has been purged of the knowledge required to make firearms and ammunition. Probably less than ten percent of humanity has survived the process, most having died of starvation or disease - those who survived the riots and carnage as desperate people stooped to cannibalism to survive now have the Earth to themselves. To live on as did our distant ancestors who first learned to make caves into shelters from predators. Innocent and free from the curse of guns.

DiFi, I ask you - are you going to be in their number?

Or will your scrawny carcass be a meager dinner for some savage?

I'm betting some troglodyte will be picking your gristle out of his sharpened teeth.

Traitor

I of course refer to our "President", Jugears Osama:

12 years after 9/11, Obama sends guns to al-Qaeda

WASHINGTON , September 12, 2013 — Today the United States is waking up to news that the first publicly acknowledged shipment of lethal aid has made its way to Syria. It comes as part of President Obama’s efforts to support the Syrian Opposition, and punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the alleged use of chemical weapons, which violates a 1925 International Proclamation.

Source: United States Constitution:
Article III
a3.Section 3.

1 Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court.
I figure we've got a few million witnesses to this overt act.

When does the trial start? Will the execution be performed on the Capitol steps?

News you didn't see

Remember that "non-event" - motorcycle riders heading to DC on 9/11?


The 55-mile long LA contingent setting out.

Estimated 800,000 actually rode through DC - and no coverage, as it doesn't fit the script.

9/11/2013

That's all until Thursday.

Per Karl Denninger

Truth

Trayvon Martin got shot and killed by a "white" man, in self defense. Jugears and his crew of race-baiters jumped all over the case, as did the MSM.

Why? It was an election year, and Jugears could make his "if I had a son" speech to the benefit of  liberal Demonrats running for election.

But times change. There's no advantage to be gained this year.

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/09/merritt-landry-shot-a-14-year-old-boy-and-liberals-dont-care/

Liberals only care about the people when they can use them to their advantage. Otherwise, they ignore them.

Every minority killed by drug or gang related violence is one less potential problem solved from their point of view - unless there is political hay to be reaped from jumping all over the issue.

Hypocrites.

Sheer idiocy

You can't get much dumber than this:

U.S. Nuclear Weapons Facility to Be Powered by the Largest Federal Wind Farm

The Energy Department today broke ground on the nation’s largest federally-owned wind project at the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas. Once completed, this five-turbine 11.5 megawatt project will power more than 60 percent of the plant with wind energy and reduce CO2 emissions by over 35,000 metric tons per year—equivalent to taking 7,200 cars off the road. The Pantex Plant is the primary site for the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the United States’ nuclear weapons stockpile.

Under the Obama Administration, federal agencies have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 15 percent—equivalent to permanently taking 1.5 million cars off the road. To build on this accomplishment, the Administration has established a new goal: the federal government will consume 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020—more than double the current goal of 7.5 percent.
The picture at the link says it all - the turbines are from Siemens of Germany, and no American jobs were created in their production.

Europe needs all the help it can get, after all - they are suffering under a socialist/greenie dictatorship...

 

Sworn enemies of the US, OK, Americans, no way!

The "2 Million Bikers to DC" on 9/11 has been denied a permit to "march" by the DC diktat.

There was no problem with a permit for Muslims to use that day to tell us that they are all peaceful and would NEVER stoop to terrorism in an attempt to force their "religion" and way of life on the United States.

Well, the bikes will go on - unless DC is willing to abridge the rights of thousands and possibly millions of people riding through the one place in America that absolutely is "public property".
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF WASHINGTON DC: On behalf of the National "2 Million Bikers to DC" Team, please accept our sincere apologies. We did the right thing and went through the proper channels to secure a no-stop permit to ride through your great city. We wanted to ride an established route, which would have taken us past the Viet Nam Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, across the bridge into Virginia, and that's it! We would have been completely out of Washington DC, and your city would have been back to normal.

The National Team fully expected our permit to be rejected, and have already drafted a Plan-B. That Plan-B will be posted a little later today once the final details have been bolted down.

We know that California and Texas riders had kicks stands up yesterday. Many other western states have kickstand up today and throughout the weekend.

RIDERS: You are true, blue Patriots and we salute you for your participation in this event! Many of you have taken time off of work to be here. You have freely given of your time, your funds, and your bikes to ride shoulder to shoulder in this event. You have have left your families and your jobs to be here. Those of us who ride come from different clubs, chapters, and organizations. Some of us ride with family and friends and some ride alone. But on September 11th, we ride as one!! We ride to pay tribute and offer respect to those that lost their lives on that day 12 years ago, and to salute our troops engaged in the War on Terror. Riders!...we are the best of the best in America!! Our love for these people and this country is staggering, and we will make a display of Patriotism and solidarity America won't soon forget!!

Riders!...we lift you up to the Lord and pray that His hand and divine protection will ride with you all.

Rubber side down, brothers! See you Wednesday morning!!

Scary stuff

A couple of videos.

Jesse Ventura on FEMA camps:



"Classified" FEMA videos.

They were right!

I hate to say it, but for once the anti-gunner leftie-liberals were right.

Illinois finally passed concealed carry, and blood is running in the streets of that gun-free paradise Chicago.

Eight Killed, More than 25 Shot in Chicago Holiday Weekend Bloodbath

At least eight people are dead and more than 25 others were wounded in shootings over Labor Day weekend in Rahm Emanuel's Chicago. The shootings were widespread, from the far south and west sides of the city and spanning north into neighborhoods that see far fewer shooting incidents normally. 
At lease one shooting occurred in one of the city’s newly created “Safe Passage” routes, designated to provide a gun-free zone for Chicago students to get to school.


In the midst of Chicago’s bloody holiday, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy continued to tout the city’s overall decline in murders from 2012 and push for “stronger gun laws.”
Oh, wait - Ill-Annoys has yet to even allow APPLICATION for a CCW, and Chicago's streets have been running in blood for decades under liberal Demonrat control...

Escalation

Obama's latest executive orders highlight need for serious push on H.R. 2247

As I previously posted, Jugears has taken it upon himself to bar re-importation of US-made weapons or lent to foreign governments - like the millions of Garands and Springields shipped to England and other allies during WWII.

His ventriloquist puppet Joe Biden tells us this is because modern military weapons have no place in American citizen's hands. As if "modern" (select fire" weapons could be sold to us under any circumstances since 1986:
Last Thursday, the Obama administration announced two new executive orders--two new infringements on that which shall not be infringed, without even bothering with the effort of hiding its dirty work behind the thin facade of Constitutional legitimacy that Congressional approval would have lent it. One of the orders, today's topic, will ban the re-importation of decades-old rifles, once provided to our allies, for whom they provided honorable service, but long ago replaced by far more modern firearms in every military on Earth, for sale on the domestic civilian market. From Fox News:
One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities. The White House said the U.S. has approved 250,000 of those guns to be reimported since 2005; under the new policy, only museums and a few other entities like the government will be eligible to reimport military-grade firearms.
He is also investigating "trusts" used by collectors of NFA weapons - and this one seems to be friendly fire:

NFA firearms collectors group initiated ATF gun trust rule change

The Obama administration’s proposed regulatory amendment regarding background checks for principal officers of gun trusts will still require a chief law enforcement officer sign-off, and the rule change itself was initiated by a petition from a group representing National Firearms Act gun collectors. That information comes from a draft Department of Justice notice made public this morning by firearms industry consulting attorney Joshua Prince.
 One of the biggest problems facing us who want to return America to the rule of Constitutional law is that so many people who should by all logic be foursquare with us are willing to sell out other groups for some illusory and usually very temporary exemption from tyranny.
