An Example of a Gun-Ban-Ignoring Criminal

by LearnAboutGuns.com May 10, 2009 Learn About Guns

Gun control advocates like to believe that passing laws banning guns will keep those guns out of the hands of criminals.  This idea defies logic, since by definition criminals are people who don’t obey the law.  A recent case from Oakland, CA makes this point rather clear:
Lovell Mixon, a 26 year old criminal, was on [...]

Quote of the Day – A Good Reason Edition

by Peter May 10, 2009 Firearms and Freedom

I miss “Wild Bill,” too, the Chief. He was a good guy, a great cop, and if you weren’t a jerk, he wasn’t, either. BTW, he also believed in gun rights and was one of the few Jersey cops who issued handgun permits, a rarity in New Jersey, without putting you through the “third-degree” during [...]

These two need killin’

by Nicki May 10, 2009 The Liberty Zone

If there’s any justice in this world, these two revolting, inbred shitsacks will spend the rest of their lives in prison, and their lives will be cut short by other, larger, stronger, more vicious prisoners in a most painful way, hopefully involving table legs studded with rusty nails.

A 7-year-old boy
who loved playing outdoors and riding on the back of his daddy’s Harley
died Saturday morning after a Liberty County couple opened fire on him
and three other alleged trespassers, Liberty County Sheriff’s Cpl. Hugh
Bishop said.
“He was just a little country boy … who liked to kick off his shoes,” said Joseph Breland, a neighbor and close family friend.Donald Coffey Jr.,
his father and friends were on their way back from joy riding near a
levee and swimming in the Trinity River around 9 p.m. Thursday when
homeowners Gale and Sheila Muhs fired at them with a 12-gauge shotgun,
police say.

These two jackasses killed an innocent child.  They weren’t defending their lives.  They weren’t defending their property.  They murdered a kid that wasn’t even on their property, even though they were warned that there were children in the vehicle.

The men stopped to
use the bathroom and got out of the Jeep near the Muhses’ home in the
Westlake subdivision south of Dayton when a woman’s voice boomed
through the darkness, Nelton said.
In a message peppered with expletives, she said, the voice ordered the group to get their vehicles off the property.“And then I heard a shot and our windows were blown out,” Nelton said.Nelton, who never
saw a shooter, said she immediately stomped on the gas and screamed,
“We’ve got kids in this vehicle! Y’all need to stop shooting!”
A second shot, and possibly others, came in reply.

According to the story, the prosecutors are considering upgrading the current charges of aggravated assault to murder or even capital murder.There’s a special place in hell for these two fucktards.

Here’s hoping they get there sooner than later.

Fear Factor: White House Edition

by jr May 10, 2009 A Keyboard and a .45

From The Foundry:

“…I am indeed fearful writing this. It’s really a bad idea to speak out. Angering the President is a mistake…” What country would you expect to hear a citizen make this statement? Venezuela? Cuba? Russia? Nope, those are the words of prominent hedge fund manager Clifford Asness, who wrote a now-famous and widely circulated open letter this week describing the intimidation techniques used by President Obama and his administration.

Why did the President have to resort to such enhanced techniques of intimidation? Mainly because he was asking financial lenders to engage in the same unscrupulous acts his administration has been engaging in since January…

Head on over and read the whole thing. I wonder how long it will be before Hedge Fund Managers join us on the Obama Terrorist Watch List?

My Thoughts on the BedBunker Gun Safe

For Mother’s Day -Treasures from the Garden

I had chatted with a friend about putting in gardens yesterday and she asked for some pictures. My place is older, and with the days and nights away from home traveling it’s a lot of work to keep up, even with some “hired help”.I bought this old place from a couple that was retiring and downsizing. It wasn’t huge or fancy, and it needed some work. But the love they had for the place was
