Another Anti-Gun Blog

This blogger loves her daughter more than my gun. I’m just wondering what my guns ever did to her daughter. I keep them locked up at night. Maybe they are sneaking out. You’ll notice that much like other anti-gun blogs, this one also closes comments in order to promote reasonable dialog.

Hat tip to Thirdpower, who should get a blog :)

UPDATE: Sharp as a Marble has more.

Nation of Islam Suing NRA

author Posted by: Sebastian on date Aug 10th, 2007 | filed Filed under: Gun Rights Organizations, Philadelphia

Cam Edwards talks about the Nation of Islam’s move to sue the NRA for gun violence in Philadelphia.  I’d say that ought to get thrown out of the court, but this is Philadelphia.  Anything can happen.

Scumbag Caught

They finally caught the scumbag(s) who shot, execution style, three Newark, NJ teenagers in cold blood. Unfortunately, no information as far as motives are coming to light yet, but authorities are ruling out gang activity. Given the backgrounds of the four who were shot, it seems reasonable that this is just a particularly heinous act of savagery.

UPDATE: Longhorn links to another story on this at nj.com:

During the proceedings, Larchire Carranza’s lawyer, Felix Lopex-Montalvo, said the defendant is an illegal immigrant from Peru.

“My client has no documentation,” said the lawyer, Felix Lopez-Montalvo.

In a news conference after the arraignment, Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow and other officials would not comment on reporters’ repeated questions about whether prosecutors had reported Larchire Carranza’s illegal status to federal authorities after his two previous arrests, which included a charge of child rape.

Sweet Jesus, this guy should have been deported after his first arrest!   Yet people like Bryan Miller use these incidents to call for further controls on guns, rather than further controls on criminals, especially illegal immigrant criminals who commit crimes, and ought to have been deported.

People like Bryan want to make sure you cannot protect yourself from these sociopaths.   If the government isn’t protecting us, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask tough questions of those who want to restrict the tools that allow for effective self-defense.  It certainly did nothing to stop this illegal immigrant, already prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms, from getting one, and committing an unspeakable act of violence.

Steve Bailey Attacks SAF

author Posted by: Sebastian on date Aug 10th, 2007 | filed Filed under: Guns, The Media

Davethea, guest blogging for Uncle, points out that Steve Bailey has written an a column attacking the SAF. I’ll be honest, Bitter and I looked at SAF’s tax returns long before Steve Bailey did, and concluded there was a lot of questionable activity going on there, including the things Bailey is looking at. It’s questionable in the sense that I’m concerned about how my donations are being spent, but not questionable in the sense that it’s unlawful, which is what I think Bailey is trying to imply. I think Alan does a lot of good things with the organization, but I don’t give nearly as much as I used to.

But that’s really not here, nor there. This wasn’t ever about Alan Gottlieb, and we really don’t want to get into a pissing match where we just dig up dirt on each other. This is about whether or not Steve Bailey was a party to a straw man purchase at a New Hampshire gun show. As I stated previously, after looking at the facts we have available to us, I think the answer is no, he didn’t. But Bailey, rather than getting to know the law, and defending himself with facts, has chosen to fling poo. That’s all I need to know about this guy, and his integrity.

False Flag Operation?

SayUncle points to another potential false flag operation.  A quick look at the TRCP, and I don’t think that this is another AHSA, meaning, I don’t think this is a group that intended to push gun control, and founded by anti-gunners.

It would appear this group is funded largely by the unions, probably in order to weaken NRA, yes, but not because TRCP necessarily want gun control, but because the NRA supports Republicans, who are anti-union, more than Democrats.

This is a group to keep an eye on, because, as I’ve said before, a weak NRA mean disaster for our cause.  Whether that weakness from because of groups like AHSA or TRCP is of little matter.  You can bet TRCP will steer away from the gun issue if it’s not something that will affect hunters.  If they are successful at stripping away NRA members, particularly in states where unions are still somewhat relevant, like Pennsylvania, it could be the best thing CeaseFire Pennsylvania or the Brady Campaign could ask for.
