How to Disarm America
Posted by Gary in Law, News, Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Mar/2010 13:26
This from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette is an oldie but goody. I like to trot this one out from time to time when people ask me “why so much politics”, “Why do you feel the need to post and re-post every little political blurb about guns and the Constitution“? There is even a pretty good gun website where right on the home page banner it says ” No Politics, Just Guns”. Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to worry about our freedoms? But if that was the case we wouldn’t need Sheepdogs or Warriors. I could spend a lot more time drinking Scotch and smoking cigars and less time scouring the Internet and Old Media looking for the next threat vector. Until that day, we remain as always. Now here from 2007:
Disarm America? Here’s howWe’re swamped with guns, but if we want to get rid of them, there is a way to do itSunday, April 29, 2007The tragedy at Virginia Tech, with a mentally disturbed person gunning down 32 of America’s finest — intelligent working people with futures ahead of them — puts once again into focus for Americans the phenomenon of an armed society.
Dan Simpson, a retired U.S. ambassador, is a Post-Gazette associate editor (dsimpson@post-gazette.com). The likely underestimate of how many guns are wandering around America runs at 240 million in a population of about 300 million. What was clear at Virginia Tech is that at least two of those guns were in the wrong hands.When people talk about doing something about guns in America, one of the points that comes to the fore is, “How could America disarm even if it wanted to? There are so many guns out there.” Today I want to address the question of “how” — if we decided to. Since I have little or no power to influence the “if” part of the issue, I will stick with “how.” Read the rest of this entry »

“Soldiers tend to be scared of IEDs because they know that they can kill.”
“They don’t scare me because it’s my job to defuse them. It’s all about being in your comfort zone. When I’m defusing bombs I’m in my comfort zone.”

“A soldier who was shot through the neck by a sniper in Afghanistan has told how he escaped death by just three millimetres.â€
”My first thought was that with the amount of blood coming out I’d had it – I thought I was going to die. There was blood all over the rest of the men. After a couple of seconds I knew I was still breathing and I thought I must be paralysed.

SD Gov Signs Firearms Freedom Act into Law
From: Dakota Voice
The South Dakota Legislature recently passed SB 89 which declares “exempt from federal regulation any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured and retained in South Dakota.â€Now, a little more than a week later, South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds has signed the bill into law.
The bill is the latest of many crafted in states across the country in the last year which re-assert the Tenth Amendment rights of the states which have been carelessly trampled by the federal government for decades.

“Paulin-Ramirez ditched her life in the Rocky Mountain city of Leadville, Colo., last September, and allegedly joined a small group of radical Islamists in Ireland who planned to claim a $100,000 Al Qaeda bounty by killing a Swedish cartoonist who drew the prophet Mohammed as a dog.â€
Marines in Afghanistan: rogues or effective warriors?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 14/Mar/2010 19:19
Helmand, Afghanistan
A recent Washington Post headline reads: “At Afghan outpost, Marines gone rogue or leading the fight against counterinsurgency?”
“The Marine approach — creative, aggressive and, at times, unorthodox — has won many admirers within the military. The Marine emphasis on patrolling by foot and interacting with the population, which has helped to turn former insurgent strongholds along the Helmand River valley into reasonably stable communities with thriving bazaars and functioning schools, is hailed as a model of how U.S. forces should implement counterinsurgency strategy.”
Let the warriors win. It’s what they do best.

Government intrusion gets worse in the UK: proposal to require a test before you are allowed to get a dog – which must have an RFID chip in it so the government can track it’s location at all times.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 13/Mar/2010 12:23
“The steps being considered mean that every dog owner in the land will have to fit their pet with a microchip so that its whereabouts can be determined from dog-spotting spy-in-the-sky drones, and that before being allowed to take delivery of a puppy, people will have to sit an exam similar to the driving theory test. The cost could reach £60, and on top of this you will need compulsory third-party insurance in case your spaniel eats the milkman.”
“…the behaviour of one man has skewed the concept of everyday life for everyone else. And we are seeing this all the time.”
“We must start to accept that 5% of the population at any given time is bonkers.”
Maybe if they can get us to accept having to chip our dogs, get us to become comfortable with that, then they can nudge us into having our children chipped, and then let them put chips in us. For our own good, of course, because the government knows best.
