Friday Post. Yeah!

As you may be able to tell, I've been feeling a bit bored of posting about politics while waiting for Obama to be impeached and charged (Clinton, too) over the Sestak scandal, so I bring you this bit of insanity:

If you thought Bros icing Bros was genius, you're gonna love this new teen trend: pouring vodka directly onto your eyeball. The Daily Mail reported on the phenomenon a couple of weeks ago, and now it's catching on in America, according to a scary report on CBS2.


-------------------
But why? CBS2 doesn't actually have any attributable quotes in their segment, but they watched a lot of the YouTube videos and report that "the pain gives way to an instant high and then a deeper state of drunkenness." 




I often feel like pouring vodka into my eyeballs when Obama opens his mouth, if only to distract myself from the pain of listening to him, but I had no idea people were doing this to get drunk really quickly. I guess waiting for alcohol to hit the bloodstream is so yesterday, and possibly going BLIND is worth it, too.  Sheesh.

And a side thought: Don't most people have a natural instinct to keep shit out of and away from the eyes?

In slightly related news, Ohio is attempting to make improvements to the concealed carry law. Hopefully, it can now get past the state's Dems:

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Firearms owners with the proper permit would be allowed to bring concealed guns into establishments or events where alcohol is served, under a bill the Ohio Senate has passed.

The measure was approved by a 23-10 vote on Thursday, despite objections from groups representing Ohio sheriffs and police chiefs. The legislation bars the concealed carriers from drinking any alcohol, but the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police says policing that will be difficult.

The bill's supporters in the Republican-led Senate say change is needed in the current law because prohibiting concealed weapons in bars and restaurants turns those places into "victim zones" where citizens can't protect themselves.


The legislation now heads to the Ohio House, controlled by Democrats.

Of course, whiny leftists bemoan how difficult it will be to enforce someone not drinking while they have their weapon with them.

It isn't. Obviously.

The people who have a CCW are responsible gun owners. I damn sure don't drink with my gun on me. I'm smart enough to know that's a bad idea. It's going to be the kind of idiots who pour vodka into their eyes that are going to drink and mess with a deadly weapon.

That said, I can go to the restaurant and not order a drink from the bar, so why can't I have my weapon with me if I'm not drinking? Enforcement is easy. If a situation breaks out that requires a CCW person to draw and/or discharge their weapon while at an establishment that serves alcohol, simply give them a breathalyzer or blood test.

Or I'll give you one easier. Ask the waitress or bartender if the dude has a tab running.

What is it with Dems that makes thought and logic go right out the window?

Guns, Guns, Guns!

Crowder in '12? I'm thinking, HELL YES!!!

Gratuitous Gun Post

Aw, yeah.

Drool...

OK, I'm impressed, and perhaps a bit envious.

The following collection belonged to Bruce E. Stern, who passed away one year ago this month. Part of his collection was auctioned, fetching an enormous sum.

Second Amendment Case Hits the Supreme Court

Let the arguments begin. 

The Supreme Court is set to begin hearing arguments on the D.C. gun ban today.

According to the ban, a citizen may not own a handgun at all, and may only have a rifle or shotgun if it is unloaded, dismantled and/or locked.

Yeah. That's helpful. I'm sure the guy attacking my family will wait patiently while I reassemble and load my gun. 

Frankly, I find it fascinating that the authorities claim they don't want guns to cut down on crime. D.C. is one of the most crime-ridden cities in the U.S., so that clearly hasn't worked. 

I believe the truth lies more in the politician's fear that We The People might take Thomas

 Jefferson's advice:

 "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

 

From this source:

 

DC city council argues than the ban is justified because "handguns have no legitimate use in the purely urban environment of the District of Columbia".

I would argue that the "purely urban environment" of D.C. makes a handgun even MORE of a necessity... 

But most importantly, who do these petty dictators think they are to tell ME what I need or don't need to protect my family?!?

Our founders outlined this right, which We The People received from God:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not 

be infringed. 

Notice the comma separating the right of the People to keep a militia and the right of the People to bear arms?

This is where those leftists who argue that guns are only for militias get into trouble. Do they think those hack framers managed to screw up the punctuation here but nowhere else? 

Did the founders mean this:

I think not.

The bottom line is, at best these gun bans come from nanny, Code Pink, hippie types who think that if we just all hold hands and "give peace a chance," somehow all the predators out there will loose their will to attack.

At worst, it is the power-hungry politicians who want to regulate every aspect of our lives, make us dependent on them and fear our ability to defend our homes from them. Only by making us helpless will they be able to run amok unchallenged.

Let's pray that the Supreme Court does not set a precedent for that scenario! 

Huh. Guns DO Stop Crime.

Thank God that someone was armed and put this mad dog down:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) -- "It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God," said Jeanne Assam, describing her feelings as she confronted a man who charged into her Colorado Springs church Sunday firing a weapon.

Assam, a church security guard with law enforcement experience, fired her own weapon at the invader and stopped his attack, police say.

Police on Monday identified the gunman as Matthew Murray and said he was also responsible for an attack earlier Sunday at a missionary center some 80 miles away.

The two incidents left four people dead, in addition to the gunman, and five wounded.

----------------------------------

"He simply showed up on our property yesterday with a gun, with the intention of hurting people, and he did," Boyd said.

Boyd said the megachurch instituted security precautions after the shootings at the Denver area mission center.

Boyd said Assam was a hero in preventing further bloodshed, rushing to confront the gunman just inside the church. "She probably saved over a hundred lives," Boyd said.

"I give the credit to God. And I say that very humbly. God was with me and the whole time I was behind cover -- this has got to be God, because of the firepower that [the gunman] had vs. what I had," Assam said.

"I did not run away and I didn't think for a minute to run away, I just knew that I was given the assignment to end this before it got too much worse. I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me."

She told reporters she had not slept since the shooting, "as I'm sure you can tell."

She said she was on the third day of a three-day regimen of fasting and prayer, wanting to know God's will for what to do with her life, when the shooting took place.

Where there are gun-free zones, there are massacres, as we saw earlier in the week with the deadly mall shootings in Omaha. Evil people know they can go on a killing spree totally unchallenged.

If one person at that mall had been armed, so many people may not have died.

Where responsible people are armed, as is their God-given Constitutional Right, we are able to protect ourselves and the lives of our families. This heroine saved many lives, as her pastor pointed out.

"No Citizenship, No Service"

I have been out of the blogosphere for a while due to certain circumstances: My dog got pretty ill and required some babying. She's doing much better now.

Also, I have an upcoming medical procedure this Thursday which requires a few trips back to the doctor's office. Don't worry though, it's nothing serious, and I'm too mean to get ill, anyway.

I mean to get back to regular reading, and I just couldn't let this awesome story go. I will reproduce it here for accessibility, from this source:

Store requires citizenship to buy ammo

By Allison Williams Correspondent

ST. PAULS — A bright red sign hangs in Nick Scavo’s store, right next to the World War II poster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur chomping on his pipe. “You must be a U.S. citizen to buy ammo or clips,” it says. No citizenship, no service. Scavo runs a military surplus store on Broad Street, the main drag of this town halfway between Fayetteville and Lumberton. It’s stuffed with camouflage of all sizes, infants to adults, boxes of mess kits and canteens, men’s dress shoes, even an ancient slot machine. He somehow found room to park a Vietnam-era jeep, just like the one he drove when he fought in the Marines. And this is just the half of it — Scavo says there’s more at home — but he admits that he has yet to find a place for the used full-size fire engine he just bought.

Space is one reason he moved his business from Fayetteville to St. Pauls. He liked the small town.

But then he began to notice an influx of Hispanic immigrants. In 1990, the U.S. Census Bureau reported 704 Hispanics in Robeson County. That number jumped to 5,994 in 2000. Many of them found work in the fields or in nearby plants — Smithfield Packing Co. in Tar Heel, Mountaire Farms in Lumber Bridge and Prestage Foods in St. Pauls. They began to open small grocery stores, restaurants, even a religious bookstore off Broad Street.

And some of them came into Scavo’s store looking for ammunition.

That bothered Scavo — he didn’t want to help people who were here illegally. The way he sees it, by refusing to put ammunition in the hands of lawbreakers, he’s preventing crime. North Carolina law requires proof of age to buy ammunition — 18 for shotgun shells and 21 for other kinds of ammunition — but it does not require proof of citizenship.

“It’s my store,” he says. “I’m going to run it the way I want.”

So he put up the sign, in English and Spanish, something for which he had to ask help from a Hispanic woman. In Spanish, the sign says, “Effectivo a partir de ahora para poder tu obtener las balas y cargadores nese citas tener tu estados unidas ciudadania. Gracias.”

“I probably said what everybody who lives here thinks,” he said.

Mayor Gordon “Buddy” Westbrook says he has not seen the sign or heard any complaints. “If I were someone from another country and saw something like that facing me, I might have some feelings about it,” he said. “Then again, he may have good reason for it."

When a visitor points out that the sign may not be the friendliest message in a place that proclaims itself the “Little Town with the Big Heart,” Scavo just shrugs. But when it’s pointed out that other businesses — department stores, for example — do not require proof of citizenship to buy a shirt, he fires back, “You’re not going to kill anybody with that shirt, now, are you?’’

Scavo has a theory or statistic for almost every question. He dislikes illegal immigrants, but when asked who would fill the jobs that many immigrants accept, he says that problem is easily solved.

Abortion, he says, has robbed the United States of 50 million people who would otherwise fill the workplace.

Therefore, by outlawing abortion, the problem would be solved.

Hispanics in town don’t seem that worried about Scavo’s policy. They say he’s the exception and not the norm in St. Pauls, a town that has welcomed immigrants. On a recent afternoon, Libna Velasquez worked the front counter at El Maguey, a small store on Broad Street that sells a variety of things, including popular movies and ice cream. “He has rules on who you can sell to and not sell to,” she said in Spanish. “He should not make that decision on his own.

“If it’s only illegals, it’s assuming they’re delinquents just because they’re not documented. Sometimes American citizens are the ones breaking the law.”

At La Roca Mexican store, Angel Cervantes helped customers who navigated the tight aisles packed with food and drinks. He wore a sparkly T-shirt with the word “Hustla” printed on the front. He said everyone — citizens and noncitizens — should have the same protection. “We have the right to defend ourselves,’’ he said.

There might be one thing that people on both sides of this issue can agree on: the need for a concrete policy from Congress on immigration. Marisol Jimenez McGee is advocacy director for El Pueblo, a public policy organization in Raleigh that is dedicated to strengthening the Latino community.

“This question of citizenship is just another example of people’s frustration with our broken immigration system,” she said. “They’re trying to take it into their own hands.

“And when people take this into their hands, we’re going to see more examples like this, potentially even more discriminatory or dangerous kinds of action. None of us think the status quo is healthy or sustainable.”

Kudos to Mr. Scavo... But the rest of these fools are mind-numbingly predictable. Imagine for a moment what a anti-gun nut leftard would do if a bullet pulled from a body were traced back to him selling to a criminal illegal. The flurry of anti-Second Amendment legislation would be dizzying!

An ARMED Population.

And now, for a bit of good news:
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said.

U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.

About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said.

"There is roughly one firearm for every seven people worldwide. Without the United States, though, this drops to about one firearm per 10 people," it said.

GOOD!!!
