Where’s your proof?

This guy does nothing but regurgitate BC/Leftwing talking points and presents them as fact. He also provides no proof, making his assertions nothing but unsubstantiated allegations. I’ve been to a few gun shows in my life, and none of them are as he describes. Myself, I think he’s never actually been to one.

Extremists Using Gun Shows to Exchange Deadly Information

…

In Portland, Oregon the monthly gun shows at the large Expo Center that take place have become a recruiting grounds for extremists targeting immigrants or even recruiting for White Supremacist organizations. In addition, there is evidence that off-the-books, illegal gun sales often take place in the parking lot that sometimes involves illegal weapons of very lethal power being sold.

…

While gun shows have long been able to gain public acceptance by most believing that only peaceful hobbyists or collectors attend such events, a large part of the appeal of these shows was to an audience who sought to avoid background checks or gun licensing rules before many states sought to crackdown on this.

…

The fact of the matter is that many extreme political organizations use gun shows not to sell guns but to indoctrinate new members with their extremist views. And it could be a lethal combination to indoctrinate some into hate or extremism and offer them all the information they need on how to build bombs or other serious weapons.

He goes on to make allegations that books on making explosives, poisons and guerrilla warfare are for sale, along with Nazi paraphernalia. He implies the next Timothy McVeigh or Al Qaeda are browsing the gun shows in search of cheap weapons and devious knowledge. Extreme organizations also are apparently laying in wait at gun shows, looking to recruit and indoctrinate attendees.

One wonders if groups such as SAF, CCRKBA, GOA, JPFO, SAS and the NRA are the extreme organizations he’s talking about.

Much sound and fury signifying nothing.

More Home Gunsmithing - Ruger 22/45

I’m about to install the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit into my Ruger Mk II 22/45. let’s hope I can get it back together…

Update: After about an hour and a half I’ve got it back together and function tested. The pre and over travel adjustments were tricky, but the trigger pull is now at least down to two pounds or so with virtually no slop. I have no gauge so this is just an estimate. There is a noticable difference in the way the trigger feels now over the stock trigger.

The only visible change visible from the outside is it now has a black trigger instead of a silver colored one and the two adjustment screws. Oh, and you can be darn sure I loctited them! LOL Now all I have to do is take it up to the range and give it a good field test.

Jose Medellin Dead

With what amounts to a big “middle finger” to Mexico, President Bush and The World Court, Texas has put the POS to death like it said it would. I am actually not a fan of the death penalty, as there have been and probably are people who have been wrongfully convicted (not to mention that it gives the State the ultimate power over the individual), but in this case the POS got what he deserved. I’d have thrown the switch myself, and smiled while I did it. There were cheaper options (bullet to the back of the head), and more just (slow excruciating torture followed by strangulation followed by stomping), but in this case I’d say justice was served, even if it was fourteen years too late.

In case you are unaware of what this POS did, you can read it here. I’ve excerpted it below as well. As bad as the crime is depicted as below, the newspaper story left out the more gory details. Trust me, it was much worse.

Students at Waltrip High School, Jennifer was 14, and Elizabeth had just turned 16. Their lives were filled with the things that occupy teenage girls. Friends recalled Elizabeth, who was beginning to dabble with makeup, as a “social butterfly.” Jennifer tried her hand at basketball before concluding she wasn’t cut out for athletics.

On June 24, 1993, the girls were at a party at a friend’s apartment when they realized the lateness of the hour. Following the railroad tracks through T.C. Jester Park, they concluded, would shave 10 minutes off their trip to Elizabeth’s Oak Forest home.

As the girls made their way past a thicket near White Oak Bayou, they stumbled onto the tail end of a drunken gang initiation. When they blundered into the group of youths, Medellin — 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing just 135 pounds — grabbed Elizabeth and flipped her to the ground. Jennifer, drawn by Elizabeth’s scream, turned to help and was herself captured.

As the teens cried and struggled, six gang members took turns raping them.

Finally, gang leader Peter Cantu told Medellin, “We’re going to have to kill them.”

Gang members Derrick O’Brien and Raul Villarreal looped a belt around Jennifer’s throat, pulling with such force that the belt broke. Cantu, Medellin and Efrain Perez strangled Elizabeth with a shoelace. Then they stomped on the girls’ throats for good measure.

Four days later, police, acting on a tip from a gang member’s brother, found the teens’ bodies, badly decomposed in the summer heat.

The victims were identified through dental records.

And some out there want to take away my guns? With animals like this running around? No F&%$ing way! As Charleton Heston once said, “From my cold dead hands!”

SNBI

I’ve stayed out of this for a while now, mostly because of my family commitments, but at the risk of offending some people there’s something I’d like to say.

I’m just curious, but don’t we all agree the Second Amendment says in part… “the Right of the People to keep and bear arms, Shall Not Be Infringed.”

Making a silly acronym for people you don’t agree with, who believe firmly that the amendment means what it says, is stupid. Just like adding a “y” to the end of someones name. It’s childish and immature. In addition, does this mean you believe the Second Amendment can be infringed upon? Does that make you SBIs?

Both sides have good things they bring to the table, as long as we all act like adults. Teddy Roosevelt once said “Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick.” Will Rogers put it this way, “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.” Legislation and working within the system are fine while you can, but keep your big stick or rock ready. Being armed and willing to defend your rights is one of the biggest sticks or rocks you can have.

Look, I’ve got three beautiful young children and I have severe health problems. I have no illusions as to my worthiness for the battlefield. I’d also rather my children didn’t have to go through a civil war. I don’t want a war, but I will do all I can to help out if one starts. Thankfully I believe that time is not yet upon us, when it will be is open to debate. My own belief is that, like obscenity, I’ll know it when I see it. I also believe those who would deprive us of our civil rights deserve to reminded every once in a while that actions have Consequences, not all of them Intended.
