A Typical Day In A Liberal Utopia

I’m eternally grateful to our buddy Cosmo for listening to NPR, so that I don’t have to…

From NPR:

“During a conversation between a reporter and community activists on Chicago’s South Side, gunshots not more than 100 feet away shattered an otherwise quiet afternoon. After the initial shock wore off, the neighborhood leaders expressed their frustration over their community’s connection with gun violence and engaged in a deep conversation about its underlying causes — and what can be done to solve them.”

Listen to the whole story but here’s basically what happened – A reporter was talking to a neighborhood leader on her front porch when a person gets out of a car, stands in the middle of the street with a semiautomatic rifle, shoots about a dozen rounds at a van then calmly gets back in the car and chases after the van.

This happened during the day in a residential area where kids were playing nearby.

Starting at the 3:45 mark the NPR reporter…

What is the point of Gun Registration?

Recently, a federal judge upheld a law in Washington, D.C. requiring guns be registered every three years (among other things). Taken in conjunction with Connecticut’s “assault weapons” registration law which just went into effect January 1st, they portend ill-tidings for both the Second Amendment and our country itself.

Still, you might ask:  “What IS the problem with registration”? And if you did, I’d answer, “How much do you know about the Supreme Court decision entitled U.S. v. Haynes – 1968“?

Clayton Cramer wrote a fascinating article on the subject that I read at Firearms and Liberty.  His summary of the case is as follows:

“In Haynes v. U.S. (1968), a Miles Edward Haynes appealed his conviction for unlawful possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun. 

His argument was ingenious:

The #NRA’s Colion Noir: Gun Rights are for EVERYONE… (video)

Another video filled with common sense courtesy of the NRA’s charismatic spokesman, Colion Noir.

When one side of the political aisle seems to be so stridently ANTI-gun, it’s easy to see how this Balkanizing over 2nd Amendment pros-&-cons happened in the first place. But it’s critical for us all to keep in mind that not a single Amendment was written by Conservatives for Conservatives, or by Liberals for Liberals.

They were penned by Americans, for Americans.

And thank God for that:

Detroit Mom Protects Her Family from Home Invasion, w/ a little help from the 2nd Amendment

This Detroit mother-of-two needs to spend a few hours at the shooting range to improve her accuracy, but all-in-all this goes in the books as a “win”.

An #NRA/Colion Noir double-shot: “Compromise” and “More Gun Laws”

We haven’t linked anything from Mr. Colion Noir for too long, so consider these two videos an apology of sorts.

The first clip concerns the constant bleating from the anti-firearm-folks that 2nd Amendment advocates need to “compromise” more, which is a complete and total laugh. We’ve been compromising for years: when does the Anti-gun movement ever compromise? They legislate away more freedoms, but they never “give-up” anything: they just fail to get everything they demand.

That’s like a mugger only taking 20% of my cash, or just losing my leg in a shark attack.

The Anti-gun Left vs. the American People and the #2ndAmendment…

The rabid, anti-gun Left has been harping about gun regulation for months now, with activists, Hollywood celebrities and Democrats all screaming their heads off. We even were forced to endure the requisite multi-celebrity PSA, an approach which has become way beyond tiresome at this point.

However, there’s a reason these attempts all failed: they are astoundingly ham-handed and transparent, even to folks who aren’t dedicated defenders of the 2nd Amendment.

Although there are myriad previous examples, we just saw this anew with California Senator Barbara Boxer.

As always with her ilk, she’s purporting to seek “justice” for shooting victims. But just as they did with their anti-war stance when Bush was in office (which mysteriously vanished as soon as their guy took over), this is just another example of the Left using a situation to further their own selfish political goals:

#NRA’s Colion Noir: “Shame on YOU, Mr. President…”

Another excellent video from the NRA’s Mr. Colion Noir, as he takes on the President over gun control, …again.

We’ve covered three of his previous efforts, which you can find here, here and here.

And, since there’s really nothing that I could add to improve this, I’m just going to let Colion put some learnin‘ to y’all…
