Do people think these actually work?

I'm not much for making fun of people, but seriously, what makes people think these work and this video is actually a piece of reality?

Fewer guns? How about fewer criminals?

With all this talk about gun control, weapon bans, etc...it just doesn't make any sense to me that lowering the number of guns will reduce crime. Maybe I'm dead wrong here, but the last time I checked, the way to lower crime was to lower the number of criminals on the streets committing those crimes. Doesn't that make logical sense? Gun restrictions and magazine capacity limits in various states across the country have only lead to an increase in crime. The UK has banned guns altogether and yet they still have higher crime rates in all violent crime categories other than rape and murder. Coincidence? I think not. Australia is in the same boat, or should I say sinking ship.

I'm tired of the liberal gun ban happy hippies blaming inanimate objects for crimes. BLAME THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. Oh, but we can't do that, that's insensitive, that's racists, that's discriminatory. It's not their fault, they live in tough neighborhoods, they don't have fathers, blah blah blah. You want to be an adult? Act like one. Take responsibility.

And speaking of taking responsibility, when are we going to take the responsibility of holding people accountable for their actions?

Quick Update on Grammys

I just want to clarify that I have no problem with the First Amendment rights of everyone in this country...I have no issues with Hollywood being able to say what they want nor am I trying to suggest they have their voices repressed for being anti-American. My issue is not that they can say what they want about Guantanamo, it's the fact that they do say it. I have an issue that they are choosing sides and that side is not with patriotism, American, etc....it's on the side of the terrorists and Islamic extremists.

My issue with why these people say what they say is they more than likely don't have a clue about what's going on there. I'd love to hear those people in Hollywood actually try to defend their stances with actual points, not a prerecorded speech, not with Hollywood glitz and glam, just intelligent points that make a good argument.

These are the same people that I saw in high school try to change the school mascot to something else from the "Warwick Warriors" because the term "warrior" associated with the image of Native American symbols is offensive. To me, being a warrior is something to be proud of. I'm a warrior willing to fight for my country, die for my country. It means I'm a man, not a bed wetting sissy. It's the same crowd of people who took being political correctness to an extreme. It's the same crowd who, in an effort do diminish discrimination and racism, recreated it against the white man with affirmative action. Instead of hiring the most qualified candidate, the company hires based on skin color to meet a federal regulation. That, in itself, is racism and discrimination.

It's the same group of people who want equal rights for gays and their marriage status. They want equal rights when it comes to relationships, but any time there is a crime committed against a gay person, it's a hate crime. You can't pick and choose when you want equal rights; it's all or nothing. You either get equal rights across the board or you don't. If you want equal rights in your relationships, they there are no hate crimes. Assault is assault whether your straight, bi-, gay, black, white, whatever. Otherwise, if you're an advocate for hate crimes carrying harsher penalties, then don't expect to get equal rights or treatment in your relationships.


That kind of got out of control and wasn't really a quick update, but this stuff just streams out as I'm tired of all the double standards and hypocrisies we see today.

England Under Attack

"Terror convictions expose training camps in England"

How do you like them apples? Here's the opening paragraph of the article:

"Clad in mud-smeared combat fatigues, the young Muslim men trained in picturesque British farmland, hurling imaginary grenades, wielding sticks as mock rifles and chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings."

We all know why they're using sticks as "mock rifles" as those Brits thought it'd be a good idea for the safety of the citizens to ban firearms...glad it's working out and they're going to be able to defend themselves against these terrorists who are infiltrating their country.

"But a four-year inquiry, which came to a close Tuesday with guilty pleas from the last two of seven gang members, has exposed a network of alleged British terrorism training camps with a serious intent to prepare recruits for mass murder."

Good luck to you all in the UK. A network preparing recruits for mass murder and you have no means of self-defense...

What a cry baby

Did anyone see the debate recently where Hillary actually found it necessary to complain about having to field the first question in the last two debates? What is this race coming to? I say keep it up. The more divided the Democratic party stays and the longer they wait to name a nominee, the better chances we won't become the United Socialist States of America next year.

I'm glad you find it curious, Mrs. Clinton. Answer the question and otherwise, shut your damn mouth.

Hollyweird is completely unpatriotic

I find it completely ironic that a large number of celebs attending the Grammys wore orange ribbons and bracelets to signify their solitude with the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay...ironic because the only thing keeping the terrorists from bringing their terror and destruction here are the same people who are guarding those prisoners who happen to be receiving 5 ethnically and culturally correct meals each and every day. The only reason these nitwits have the right to go on TV and wear those ribbons is because of the military men and women who fought to keep this country free. It certainly wasn't the liberal Left who have been vigilantly fighting for the individual rights of the people. The actions of our military, who these weirdos are protesting and disagree with, are the only reason this country has not seen a terror attack here since 9/11. It's also comical they are responsible for finding and detaining these individuals and interrogating them to find out what they're doing, what they know, and what they're planning in terms of acts of terror and destruction.

At what point do we just turn our backs on these ungrateful and unpatriotic people who do nothing but provide bad role models for our kids? Why is there a large following of people who find it necessary to idolize people who make a living by being someone else? Why are these people idolized when they practically need handlers to keep them from saying absolutely ridiculous stuff? Why is it when these people are left to their own devices, the end up in drugs, alcohol, and all sorts of scandals?

When are people going to realize there is nothing about these people to idolize? Ok, I'll give you their outer beauty which is always touched up with the most professional make up artists and digital editing software...I'll give you that, they're eye candy when done up right, but is there anything else?

Newest piece in the stable

Every American should own one a Model of 1911...just a classic firearm. It's an icon in the handgun world and literally changed the way handguns were designed and it's influence is still seen in today's polymer framed semi autos. If you've never tried one, find someone who will share the experience with you.

I'm not in anyway saying this is the end all be all or the best firearm ever made as that's a Ford/Chevy argument I'm not interested in dealing with. Just saying it's a pleasure to spend time on the range with.

Here's my Dan Wesson Pointman Seven Stainless in .45 ACP. All sorts of match grade parts and what not, it's been flawless since Christmas morning when my lovely wife gave me this special gift. Y'all need to have a chat with your wives.

A good read so far...

If you haven't figured out by now, I'm on the side of the right with most political views. If you're a church-going individual and you think your pastor (or whatever they're being called these days) tip toes around the tulips a little too much, you will more than likely get a kick out of Doug Giles. I'm currently reading his newest book "A Time to Clash" covers the following topics:

"The culture war is heating up and Doug Giles, pastor of ClashChurch of Miami, Florida and Townhall.com columnist has jumped in, gloves off and tongue wagging at the cultural coarsening people and policies he believes are screwing up the church, family and state.

With comedy, substance and an unapologetic Christian worldview Giles weighs in on everything from:
* Islam
* Radical homosexuals
* Illegal immigrants
* Sexless wives
* Goofy husbands
* Your daughter’s boyfriends
* Gun free zones
* Global warming whackos
* Stupid sluts
* Atheists & atheism
* John Edwards, Barack Obama and Hillary
* Rosie O’Donnell
* How to be a college conservative hell razer
* Why conservatives need to take comedy seriously
* How some pastors are worse than aggressive atheists
* How hunting and hunters trump PETA’s paltry input for animals and conservation"


Just found those topics things you don't hear most preachers talking about to their congregations these days. Quite a bit of humor and tone you won't hear from the likes of Joel Osteen (I have it, but have yet to read his book "Your Best Life Now").

Gun contorl myths

Just a quick one here as you should spend your time digesting the contents of this piece.

It's unfortunate we actually have to respond and acknowledge their claims, but for some reason, uneducated and easily scared (or money influenced) politicians and Hollyweird celebrities seem to eat this stuff up. As long as there are claims that gun control is the solution, there will be those of us who provide real data showing it doesn't.

This would be easier if you just give up and leave us with the guns alone. Or, since you're against them, you could come try to take them away from us; but I have to remind you, you can't use something you're against to enforce your policy that no one should have them. That means you can't have or use firearms to force us to give ours up. I think that's why they keep trying and failing to get our guns away from us. They don't know how without being hypocrites.

Please, someone who thinks gun control works, please provide me with something backing up your claims.

Secure the border! The right one!

Why is it that I now need a passport to visit Canada, but non-US citizens are "freely" traversing the southern border of this fine country? Was there at some point in US history where Canadians were coming across the border, working under the table, not paying taxes, and sending their earnings back to C-eh?-N-eh?-D-eh? Or were the Canadians coming across the border to sell their illegal goods (read drugs) and committing violent crimes on a regular basis? Or what about drawing from the social welfare programs and other government handouts available to those who have committed a crime by being here in the first place?

I'm all for people who want to experience the economic and social freedoms that simply don't exist anywhere else in the world; I just want to see them go through the process legally and become a legitimate citizen. Contribute to society. Build. Achieve. Do something constructive. The reason this country is great because of the people who have gone and died before us securing our freedoms and opportunities. It wasn't a walk in the park to make this country what it was. So, if you care to partake in it, enjoy the party, just contribute something along the way. Coming here to sit around and literally suck from the system is at least a little bit worse than showing up to a social event without bringing something to share with others in the form of a food or beverage...it's a social faux pas at your "friends" party and it's a major faux pas to just show up randomly in the US and expect to get all the benefits of a citizen who has lived, worked, and paid taxes here for entire working life contributing to "The System" which now supports you.

Immigrants are some of the most successful people in this country; they have a 9:1 shot at becoming a millionaire compared to a US-born citizen. However, those immigrants successful in legitimate and legal enterprises came here in just that way, legitimately and legally.

Why is it the crime statistics for Canadians and those from Latin America are so disparagingly different?

Can I get a real answer?

Since when is anyone "allowed" to make an argument that influences my personal and individual freedoms in a negative way, as in completely take one or more away, without providing facts and proof showing my individual and personal freedom is responsible for the deaths or injuries of others?

Specifically, I'm referring to the number of people known as "antis" in the pro-gun community who find it socially and academically acceptable and responsible to make their arguments without providing any data whatsoever to prove their claims. Not only that, we see a relentless movement by a group of people who simply refuse to read or flat out ignore the facts showing gun control does not stop/reduce/lower crime. In fact, the stats show that where gun control and restrictions on the citizens' right to bear arms exists, crime is actually higher and rising than communities, cities, states, etc. that allow that thing also known as the Second Amendment to be accessed by the citizens.

See before and after stats of crime rates in regards to when gun control went into effect in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York City, and Chicago. No, I'm not going to do your homework for you.

Am I a hypocrite for not providing the stats? Maybe, but that's subjective. Frankly, I'm just tired of doing all the work to show the numbers and having them fall on deaf ears as the antis continue to scream and yell and make a fuss about gun control after years of having their claims challenged.

Considering the Second Amendment discusses the right to bear arms, it would be RATIONAL to think the group challenging my right that already exists, is in place, and is currently in practice as I write this would be held responsible for providing relevant and convincing data as to why The Right to Bear Arms is unequivocally dangerous and a threat to the foundation of this society...

That'd be what everyone would think. That's what happens in the world of science where repeatable tests yielding repeatable results are required to prove and/or disprove theories and the like. That's what happens in the court of law, or at least what is supposed to happen...remember "innocent until proven guilty?" The responsibility of proving guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt to get a conviction lies squarely on the shoulders of the prosecution. Wouldn't the same logic apply when the antis challenge my right to bear arms? Don't they have to provide statistically data from real life showing their claims are true and not just a temper tantrum?

If I'm mistaken, confused, or missing something other than the effect interest groups, money, and lobbyists have on government officials, please, let me know.


Oh yeah, that video...if you like guns, watch it. If you don't like guns, watch it. See here.

Just a simple start...

Thought I'd start off with a brief introduction with a clear definition of my intentions. Personally, I'm not happy about a number of issues in our society today ranging from the quality of the candidates in both parties to the apathy of the average American (and citizen of the world, for that matter) who refuses to stand up for what is right and just. I intend to discuss those issues and generally complain about them. I retain the right to suggest or not suggest a realistic solution.

I don't intend for this to consume my life, but most of us have good intentions, right? We'll see what happens...

I intend to discuss issues at hand that challenge the American way of life. Yes, the content here is targeted and while I'm open to hearing the opinions of those who don't live here and aren't subject to the exact and specific conditions of these United States of America, I will more than likely only refer to the conditions and situations present in other countries to point out the appropriate positive/negative issues that affect or can be compared to what's happening here in my country of origin.

So, with that, in the words of House of Pain,
"Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin, I came to win, battle me, that's a sin."
