Guns Save Life

You can deny reality, but that doesn’t make it true any more than it does for a whining three-year-old’s temper tantrum.

Glenn Reynolds nails it in his USA Today column.

This past weekend, the Tennessee Law Review held a symposium on “New Frontiers in the Second Amendment.” It was a follow-up, of sorts, to a

Facebook offers a chance for people to self-identify as idiots and bigots.

Witness these comments on the Chicago Tribune’s Facebook page regarding their story about Illinois mailing the first batch of carry licenses.

Dan Hensley Everyone PLEASE watch what you do around others in public! The slightest thing that could be perceived as a threat will be enough justification for you to end up dead under this new concealed carry law! PLEASE watch your posture, watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the clothes you wear (that means hoodies, too

Look for Obama to attack gun rights in America soon to distract from his abysmal weakness in dealing with Putin and the Russians over the Ukrainian situation.

First, a shout out to Scott Bowyer for letting me know Channel 15 was looking for a license holder for the story.

Channel 15, WICD Champaign, was looking for a CCW licensee today to do a story on “what’s changed” since the license arrived.  Heather Good from the station met me at an undisclosed secret bunker under an nondescript brick and steel building and did a short interview with me.

The local station led off their 6p news with the story.

Here it is.   (They have no imbed code.)

Moms Demand Action never looked this good, even from the get go. Today, they are more like “Moms With Leprosy Demand Action”.

Moms Demand Action’s star is fading fast.

The wholly Bloomberg-owned subsidiary of Michael Bloomberg and his Mayors Against Gun Ownership (or something like that) went to Staples Corporate HQ today to hand off petitions with a measly 12,000 signatures demanding Staples ban guns in their stores.

Not only would nobody from the company meet with them – not even the mail clerk – but Staples “asked them to leave”.

Let me run that throu

The Chicago Tribune has the story of a business owner and pillar of the community shot to death in Chicago.

Chicago isn’t safe, folks.

Burn that into your minds.

Chicago isn’t safe.

Chicago (Tribune) – The 66-year-old proprietor of a Gold Coast framing company was gunned down over the weekend at the Southwest Side factory complex where he had worked for 30 years, police and family members said.

Described by his son as a jack of all trades and animal lover, Herbert Goode was the owner of Silver Cloud Galleries, a custom framing company with a storefront at 20 W. Ohio St.

He was a donor and volunteer to animal welfare organizations and had been active in local school boards and the Boy Scouts of America, his son, Alex Goode

Found this in the spam filter.

We’re flattered they mentioned us, but clearly, money isn’t buying reading comprehension among the employees working at CSGV.

Here’s the original text in the article cited:

How long will it be before there is bloodshed over this law?  We’re not sure, but we’re confident it is coming unless the law is rescinded or struck down by the courts.

Does that read like we’re going to go shoot us up some Connecticut State Police men, women, and fashion disasters?

Oh well, it’s not like CSGV doesn’t already have the reputation for making up falsehoods out of nothingness.

How does it feel, CSGV, to need to rely on deception, dishonesty and downright falsehoods to promote your flawed message?

Don’t by shy.

IGOLD – the Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day – is a fantastic, fun experience that makes quite an impression on legislators and political observers both in Illinois and beyond.

Go.

Really. Go.

You’ll be among thousands of your closest friends.

And, from Valinda Rowe at Illinois Carry:

Greeters needed.

If you arrive early for IGOLD, we will need “greeters” to hand out the IGOLD packets as people enter the convention all.  The packets and pens will be stacked on the tables inside each door.

All you have to do is hand them a packet, a smile, and “Welcome to IGOLD”!

When you arrive, if you see an unstaffed packet table, please, step right in and start handing out packets!!

Thank you!

Dom Raso explains why keeping law-abiding gun owners out of private businesses is a mistake.

Can you imagine something so kooky as posting your home that you’re wishing to sell as a “gun free zone” where prospective real estate agents wishing to show your house, along with prospective buyers would be forbidden from carrying inside?

From the Chicago Tribune:

Late last week, … the Illinois Association of Realtors unveiled a consent form that could take the conversation between real estate agents and home sellers into uncharted territory.

The form, if realty firms and agents choose to use it, allows homeowners to specify whether they would allow a potential buyer with a concealed firearm inside their property.

If the seller says “no,” an agent would display the state-authorized sign, a drawing of a black gun with a red circle and line through it, outside the home during all showings

Connecticut Carry, a pro-civil rights organization in Connecticut dedicated to expanding that state’s carry laws and increasing the numbers of people with carry permits, has published a press release challenging the State of Connecticut to enforce their tyrannical gun registration law that made felons of potentially a hundred thousand or more gun owners in that state or to repeal the law.

Here it is:

To Officials of the State of Connecticut: Either Enforce or Repeal 2013 Anti-gun Laws.

It’s time for the State to enforce the tyranny they passed or repeal it entirely.

Rocky Hill CT, March 3, 2014:

A recent media tidal wave based on false reports and bad journalism has proven a few things about the 2013 Gun Ban:  people from Connecticut and around the nation are tired of being threatened; are ready to make a stand; and the

Norton “Connect Safe” is blocking Guns Save Life from public access at locations that use their software by labeling us as “pornography”.

If it wasn’t a serious matter of our civil rights, it would be laughable.

Here’s their email.  Contact them and ask them to remove GunsSaveLife.com from their “porn” website list.

When you see Facebook, think “My Space” and we’ll tell you why:  Teens are increasingly disinterested in Facebook as it’s no longer seen as the “hip” place to be.  As Facebook struggles to stay afloat with increasing ad revenue, subjecting users to pesky ads at a growing rate, they risk alienating people posting pictures of their pets or babies or passing around mindless memes.

Then there are problems with the “Click Farms” that provide thousands of “likes” for a few hundred bucks.  The only problem is these people only serve to dilute any message you wish to get out to the world on your Facebook social media.  Read up on this trainwreck here and here.

And now news breaks that Facebook is considering changing their policy on gun-themed Facebook pages.

While the Democrats in Connecticut are trying to figure out how to handle mass non-compliance of their gun registration bill, Democrats in New Jersey are looking to skip registration and proceed directly to confiscation and arrests of gun owners.

Is civil war on the horizon?

(Washington Times) – New Jersey has become ground zero this year for legislative battles over gun control.

The Brady Campaign ranked the state third in the nation for most restrictive firearms laws, yet anti-gun Democrats who control the legislature are determined to go all the way to gun bans and confiscation.

The New Jersey Assembly’s Law and Public Safety Committee was scheduled to hold a public hearing on Monday (postponed for snow) about a bill that reduces the maximum magazine capacity from 15 to 10.

Since the legislation covers both detachable and fixed magazines, it has the effect of to banning popular, low

Imagine that…  a person with less than noble intentions in his heart ignored the “NO GUNS” prohibition sign and shot himself.

Thank heavens he didn’t try to carjack a couple and kill a productive citizen in that “no guns” zone – as happened in New Jersey a short while back.

The only thing that stops bad men with evil in their heart is a good guy with a gun.

(BBC) – An attack by knife-wielding men at a railway station in Kunming in south-west China has left at least 29 dead, the state news agency Xinhua says.

Another 130 people were wounded in what authorities said was a “premeditated, violent terrorist attack”.

Four suspects were shot dead, one arrested and other are being sought Xinhua said.

City officials said evidence implicated militants from the western region of Xinjiang, but this was not verified.

Ya know, when you raffle a gun for a charitable cause, the gun haters quickly self-identify for your convenience.

It always happens.

In fact, you don’t even have to raffle a gun, but just offer it as a sales bonus or incentive, like one car dealership did recently – offering a free shotgun on the purchase of a new car.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote about a girls’ softball team raffling a Taurus Judge to raise money.

You would think the end of the world is near.  A person who didn’t even have the courage to identify themselves started the mainstream media knee-jerk reaction.

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A girls softball team is raffling off a handgun as a fundraiser and some parents don’t think that’s a good idea

FoxNews published a story a few days ago illustrating how gun control kills.  It got lost in the shuffle of moving, but it’s certainly worth a look.

Bad guys with guns aren’t stopped by laws.

They’re stopped by good guys with guns.

FoxNews has the story.

By Nicole Goeser

(FoxNews) – In April 2009, my husband was shot six times in front of me in the middle of a busy restaurant by a man who was stalking me. I have a permit to carry a handgun but because of the law at that time in my home state of Tennessee, I had to leave the gun that I normally carried for self defense, l

Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars has a man-size set of cajones.

Made of cast iron.

He posted the home addresses and in some cases, phone numbers, of Connecticut legislators voting to mandate gun owners register America’s favorite rifle and lots of others with similar features.

And the magazines to go with those guns.

We believe this Connecticut gun registration scheme isn’t going to go well and that blood will be spilled…  on both sides.

And there are plenty of Connecticut State Police willing to violate their oath to enforce this unconstitutional mandate.

Here’s one:

Back to Vanderboegh.  Here’s a snippet from his post:
