Hillary is on the wrong side of the gun debate

Hillary Clinton said the NRA is one of those “enemies” she is most proud of having made.

NRA membership is at nearly an all-time high and they are very good at raising money for candidates who support their goals. They are also generally approved of by Americans.

You first, Mr. President!

OBAMA guns you first

John Lott says that, when he met then-lecturer Barack Obama at the University of Chicago in the 1990s, Obama said, “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.”  When he tried to talk to Obama about gun rights, Obama “grimaced and walked away.”

“He did not come across as a moderate who wanted to bring people together,” Lott recalls.

Since that time, Lott has watched Obama act on his anti-gun beliefs, noting that Obama has consistently opposed concealed carry and the use of guns for self defense.

Lott believes Obama’s current lip service to the Second Amendment is part of an overarching Democrat strategy to get elected so they can continue destroying the Second Amendment.

John R. Lott, Jr. is an economist who has held research and/or teaching positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. He has published more than 100 articles in academic journals. He also is the author of seven books; his newest is At the Brink: Will Obama Push Us Over the Edge? His past books have included three editions of More Guns, Less Crime and Freedomnomics.

Don’t hold your breath

When a “shots fired” call from Umpqua Community College went out, police responded quickly. The shooter fired on them. When they returned fire, Harper-Mercer shot himself in the head.

Before they intervened, Harper-Mercer murdered nine and wounded nine others.

Survivors report that he asked each victim, “Are you a Christian?” If they said “yes,” he shot them in the head. If they did not say “yes”, he shot them elsewhere in the body, usually the leg.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Leftist PTBs to indulge in a national conversation about anti-Christian bigotry.

2015_10 02 Woods on mass murder of Christians in Oregon

President Obama is planning to go so he can stand on the soapboxes … I mean, coffins … of the victims and preach “guns are bad.”

The residents of Roseburg say they do not want Obama to come. 1,900 people have signed up to attend a rally to protest his presence.

Oregon Live reported the community college has a “gun free zone” policy; however, Oregon state law negates such policies for anyone with a conceal and carry license.

Several armed students were in a nearby building when the shooting started. They considered responding, but when they noted the police were already on the scene, they decided they had best stay put lest cops assume they were in league with Harper-Mercer. In hindsight, they say they made the right call.

Promoting sin

Progs promoting sin

August 26, 2015: David French at National Review writes:

The evidence is now overwhelming that this (latest) shooting was in large part about race. The shooter wanted vengeance for Charleston, he wanted a “race war,” and he was known for angry, unfounded accusations of racial persecution:

’Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…’

’What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.’

’As for Dylann Roof? You [redacted]! You want a race war [redacted]? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …[redacted]!!!” . . . He goes on to say that he has faced both racial and sexual discrimination as a black, gay man and that he was just waiting to explode.

’Yes, it will sound like I am angry…I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace…’

’The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily…I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!’

So, how does the President of the United States respond? It’s the guns of course, and the guns are worse than terrorists. No, I’m not making this up: His quote:

“It breaks my heart every time you read about or hear about these kinds of incidents,” Obama said. “What we know, is that the number of people who die from gun-related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism.”

So now we’re using domestic racial violence to not just bolster the case for gun control but also to diminish the threat of international terrorism? This statement is almost beyond belief — even for Obama.

Look for the shooting to trigger another round of gun control proposals, none of which would have stopped this crime.

As for terrorism? The hundreds of thousands of victims of jihadist violence since 2009 could not be reached for comment. Nor could the recently-gassed Kurds. Nor could the young Yazidi sex slaves. Nor could Iranian nuclear scientists. They’re too busy trying to engineer the apocalypse.

More Guns = Less Crime

In 1998, John Lott published a detailed statistical analysis of the impact of gun control laws on crime.

More Guns Less Crime

These data show that the United States, which has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world, ranks among the lowest in deliberate homicides.

Charleston brought out the Gun Grabbers

The blood hadn’t even congealed before President Obama was blaming Americans in general and the Second Amendment in particular for the shooting.

Obama even went so far as to make the utterly ABSURD statement that “this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.”

Rampage shootings

A top-level Democrat campaign consultant told MSNBC, “I cannot imagine the horror that could have occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons.”

He wants voters to think “More Guns Means More Killings.” But the reality is that, if someone at that prayer meeting had been armed, the shooter would have been taken out BEFORE he could murder nine people.

IMHO, what that Democrat really meant by “the horror that could have occurred” was that 2d Amendment supporters would have scored a big PR win.

HERE WE GO

This is a first. I’ve never done three posts in a day. This is a vanity post from FreeRepublic.com.
It makes many salient points far better than I can. I hope you take a minute to read it.

Here we go.

The perfect incident just took place last night for creating chaos, conflict, and division when Dylann Storm Roof decided to channel his inner Satan to slaughter innocent people praying at a church.

Unlike the predecessors in the Soviet Union, China, and various fascist regimes during the past century, our leftists usually don’t concoct phony incidents to propel their agenda. They wait, patiently, sometimes for years, waiting for an incident which can be used to promote their agenda. The agenda right now is fundamental transformation, and transformation is a revolutionary action that requires angry, focused masses gathered to tear down the structure of society. Dylann Storm Root, may he rot in hell, has given the forces wanting to fundamentally transform society the perfect storm.

His guns will become one part of the transformation. Pres. Obama has already come out lamenting that the killer could easily get his guns, even make the false but appealing allusion that this kind of crime only takes place in the United States. Only the informed will remember similar massacres in a Scotland kindergarten and a Norwegian summer camp. Everyone is rightfully shocked, and the easy solution to ban guns might be finally within reach. In any case, the left will start, as they always do with something like this, to press again for gun control.

The church setting is horrific, even more than the elementary school at Sandy Hook, and that will be heighten emotions concerning guns. There are people ambivalent about the curriculum and approach of schools, but only the left has real qualms about the teachings of Jesus and people gathered for prayer. It will be very difficult for anyone to posit that people at a prayer meeting should be armed, in the same way that some suggested teachers be armed in school. Good news for gun control.

The race of the shooter and his victims creates division and distrust, and that will be a powerful focus among those seeking transformation. Someone will point out that practically all racial crime actually goes in the opposite direction, and they will be targeted as cruel and racist, and that will be that. Unlike the support for police that is a constant in the various stories about white and non-white police in shooting incidents with black citizens, no one will support Dylann Storm Root.

That’s good news for the left. The transformationists turned Trayvon, and Michael Brown, and many others into heroes, but it was a hollow heroism, easily punctuated by facts. The people murdered in the church are real victims. The shooter is a real villain. The racial differences will be accentuated. If there are revenge killings, and sometimes there are, the deaths will be reported with an embarrassed expression on the faces of the newsreaders as just another problem with white privilege.

Hatred against whites could be energized by the correct kind of media statements and political maneuvers to cement divisions for decades. Good news for the transformationists.

The reporting on Dylann Storm Root’s background will be relentless. Every email, every friend, every word written by this sorry little man will be read and explored for meaning and breathlessly reported. My guess is that he’ll be described as “white conservative shooter Dylann Storm Root.” The term “conservative” will be a hammer to nail down the stereotype of conservatives a racist thugs waiting to kill victimized minorities, and few conservatives will willingly stand up to argue the point lest they be tarred with the same brush as the one used to describe the shooter.

If he’s a subscriber to Rush 24-7, or the American Spectator, or listens to Glenn Beck, that will be used as a weapon against those people.

The story will be in the news for most of the next year, a perfect placement during the primaries in an election year. Any candidate claiming to be conservative will be linked to Dylann Storm Root. Any candidate claiming to support the Second Amendment will be linked to Dylann Storm Root. And all Republican candidates will be obligated to answer questions about the leftist transformation of society endlessly as the media waits for a candidate to misspeak, or even say something innocent that can be taken out of context.

There’s no need for Kristalnacht or the burning of the Reichstag. Those political tools are so crude. The American left patiently waits, like a tick on a blade of grass, waving its legs in the air in expectation that there will be a moment when the right issue walks by. And there’s sick, racist thug Dylann Storm Root ambling down the trail.

Here we go.

SHOOTER APPREHENDED; LET THE CHAOS BEGIN

It really, really wasn’t the plan to take up a whole lot of space with this senseless, wanton act of violence by one deranged individual, but it can hardly be avoided.
This is Dylan Storm Roof. One look at him would tell you the light’s on, but nobody’s home.

THE INSTANT I HEARD ABOUT IT, I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN:

In his early afternoon statement, it took President Obama exactly 4 minutes to politicize this massacre into a partisan call for gun control.

Gun control fanatics create gun-free zones.

Mass-murderers target gun-free zones.

Gun control fanatics call for more gun-free zones.

Obama says church shooting shows need for reckoning on guns

This senseless act of violence is custom made for the gun grabbers and race hustlers. It’s the excuse they’ve been waiting for for a very long time. Calls have gone out blaming Gov. Nicki Haley for not banning the confederate flag. Sharpton is getting the attention he feeds off of. The horror of this crime will be overshadowed by the demagoguery of those who seek to profit from it.

Obama: “This Type of Mass Violence Does Not Happen In Other Advanced Countries”

“Now is the time for mourning and for healing, but let’s be clear,” he declared. “At some point, we, as a country, will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it.”

Gunman to Victims: ‘You Rape Our Women’
NO MENTAL PROBLEMS THERE,HUH?(SARC)
Earlier, a local NAACP official said the killer told one woman, who has not been identified, that she was allowed to live so that she can tell everyone else what happened. Police confirmed that at least three people survived the attack, and that the gunman sat with the prayer group for at least an hour before he began to shoot.

I WILL NOT POST ANY MORE ABOUT THIS TODAY. IT WAS NOT THE WAY I PLANNED, BUT IT HAPPENED. I WILL NOW POST THE OTHER LINKS THAT I HAD PREPARED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE.

Hijacked USS Gabrielle Giffords Located, On Blocks, In New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Flagler1j Click on photo to embiggen.
Gruntington Post – Only months ago, the newly-christened littoral warship USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS-10) was the pride of the US Navy. Launched in honor of Congresswoman Giffords from Arizona (below), she was the first completely gun-free warship in the inventory. As reported at the Duffel Blog, the Giffords was immediately stolen in an armed raid by unknown forces believed to be associated with a patriot terrorist group in the southeastern U.S.
APTOPIXUSSGabrielleGiffordsChristening-0b99d
That mystery was cleared up yesterday when the USS Giffords was located by local police in the downtown district of New Smyrna Beach on the Atlantic coast of Florida. The ship was found on the street, supported by cinder blocks, stripped of its valuable electronics and fittings and covered in graffiti.

The Navy faces one more roadblock in repatriating the Giffords to its home port. The town of NSB has insisted that the derelict ship is being used in preparations for their Reggae and Island Music Festival planned for this weekend. This wouldn’t be a problem if the ship were still at sea, but it lies – high and dry – within the town limits, and Volusia County acknowledges the squatters rights of the various Reggae musicians and street people who have taken up temporary residence on board the vessel as they practice and set up for the festival. A pre-dawn raid by Navy SEALs was foiled this morning when local officials appealed to the White House, which immediately issued “stand down” orders to the team. It is now believed that the Navy stands the best chance of recovering the vessel on Tuesday of next week when the crowds, and the pot smoke, finally disperse.
