A Message from Sanity

by

Contra the New York Times and Democrat politicians who want to ban “Multi-Automatic Round Weapons”

“I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face…and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser. Yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won’t shoot you. My gun won’t pull its own trigger, it is securely holstered with the trigger covered — it can’t just “go off”. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into our grocery store, our movie theater, or our gas station and pulls out a rifle with intent to do us harm, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may freeze up, I may get shot before I can pull the trigger, but I won’t die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child’s life. I will not be THAT victim. I have made that choice. 


As for you, I don’t ask you to carry a gun nor will I ever advocate for the government to force you to do so — therefore, if you are not comfortable, please don’t, but I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim so stop voting for politicians who wish to take that RIGHT away from me.” – Utah Gun Exchange (via Farcebook)

  2. The New York Times had the nerve to publish an editorial on gun control on the front page. It’s content was directed to law biding gun owners. I have a suggestion for the paper, readdress the editorial to the mafia, to drug traffickers, to the Bloods, the Crips, Mara Salvatrucha, and to the 18th Street. I wonder what kind of a response they would get.

  4. Just remember, the last time the Old Grey Lady put an editorial on the front page was to lament the nomination of Warren G. Harding.

    Harding won the presidency with 60% of the vote, one of the largest percentages ever recorded in presidential elections. The electoral college vote favored Harding by 75%.

    So, the NYT can say what they want, but they have little, if any, influence.

  5. A valid point in armed concealed-carry is that since the miscreant doesn’t know if someone MIGHT be armed, it introduces that element-of-doubt that’s so important in both self-defense and communal-defense, “…might I be opposed in what I plan?” Similar to the burglar-alarm placards in a front-yard, a miscreant might be persuaded to find a soft target elsewhere or deterred. Even the suicide-attacker needs opportunity and time to succeed, the possibility of armed opposition robs him of time.

  6. Both the Aurora shooter and the NC shooter deliberately avoided non Gun Free Zones to find Gun Free Zone to carry out their atrocities. Bullies don’t like to be confronted.

    This latest attack room less than 5 minutes to complete. The police are under no obligation to protect anyone.

  7. The president of the large college where I teach is quite public about it being a “gun-free” zone, so (since many of our students fit the profile) my racism situational awareness has to be dialed up all the time there. In church? There are usually half a dozen guys nearby with CC permits, so I can relax. A while back our well-meaning pastor suggested making the church gun-free; a fairly large group of (tithing) men set him straight.

  8. The funny thing is this probably was not a planned attack. Given the amount of time between when Farook complained about people eating free ham at the x-mass party and the attack it is unlikely it was planned with him going in first to see if there was any security problems.

    It is far more likely that they planned a later attack at a different venue but with most of the supplies ready they got “Triggered” by ham they didn’t have to eat. If they had not been triggered they would have attacked elsewhere and we(at least those that view real news) wouldn’t have known Farook’s name was available before they even left the hospital. Lamestream put up a silhouette instead of the wife’s pic because they couldn’t find one that didn’t reinforce stereotypes. (the Trayvon Skittles 8yo pic problem)

    Moderate moslems are afraid of backlash from tomorrows terror attack.That’s the best definition of moderate islam I ever saw. Hopefully only those that didn’t believe in profiling got killed.

  10. Sure, we ought to bomb ISIS to oblivion. But one of my least favorite GOP candidates, the Donald, is on cue about the threat. However, he is very unpresidential by swearing at one of his gatherings. If you run for the highest office in the country, act like it.

  11. If you run for the highest office in the country, act like it.

    Hasn’t that been the problem all along? It’s one thing to have populist and/or controversial ideas; it’s quite another to rejoinder to anyone who questions them that they may either be the adult equivalent of a poopyhead (‘loser”) on the mild end, or irritable due to bleeding from an orifice.

    I mean really, people who think Charlie Sheen’s behavior is disgusting but irrelevant simply because he himself is, have no issues with that same type of behavior in a presidential candidate.
