Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Two formerly pro-gun Democrat senators switch positions to support new assault weapon regulations.

Here's the dirty secret behind the opportunistic calls for more gun control:

"Following the devastating mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., support for stricter gun control laws is now the highest it's been in a decade and has surged 18 points since the spring of this year, according to a new CBS News poll."

It's all about self interest.

Austin gun store is offering a discount to teachers to obtain a concealed carry license. That's what I'm talking about. Can teachers carry in Texas? Let's hope so.

"“We need to start thinking out of the box and deal with this violent culture,” said Keller. “We need to lobby our various state governments to allow teachers to be armed.”"

Apparently not.

Rush Limbaugh points out how much of the reporting by the media in the wake of Friday's massacre was wrong. It was crazy how wrong they were. I hope the older brother who the media accused of being the shooter sues and ends up owning CNN and Salon.

It sounds like FBI informants misidentified the shooter first, then informed their media subordinates. Isn't that convenient since the media can blame the FBI and the government can reject being sued? Once again we see that the media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of government.

Nice analysis of Obama's speech last night.

"How awful to watch Obama take the focus off the slain children and their families, and direct it on to himself, the State, and the unceasing hunger for more power. He tries to play a religious role--the State hates and envies God--and calls the dead "our children," to diminish the place of their parents. The State has long sought to abolish the role of parents, of course, and substitute its judges, cops, teachers, and social workers."

It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I don't think the government staged the Connecticut shooting, but the system in which the government disarms victims while the press promotes the mass murderers creates them. The government doesn't need to stage them advance their totalitarian interests. They've rigged the system so they happen frequently anyway.

"The news coverage of this latest atrocity follows a predictable pattern: police officers, armed soldiers, and federal FBI and ATF functionaries, are on the scene as a reminder of the top-down system of order that the shootings have just refuted. The mayor, state governor, and president each holds a press conference to assure their respective herds that all is under control, their control."

All of these organizations and all of these people failed, but the press still promotes them as our protectors. We're supposed to believe that surrendering more of our power to them will make us safer. We've fallen for that a million times, and it never works. It can't work. We must stop falling for it.

I had never heard the Bath School disaster in which a bomber killed 38 elementary students and two teachers in 1927. Naturally it was carried out by a wannabe politician.
