It’s not the caliber of the gun in the hand of the person, it’s the caliber of the person holding the gun. Or knife. Or sap. Or stick.

[QFMFT. Seriously I couldn’t have said it better my self. –B]
I will not let you two demand that my blood be shed so that you can sit there and declaim your supposed superior morality to the world. No. You would rather I be dead. That is the logical conclusion of your positions. I will not die for you. No other woman should either.
Alexthechick – An open letter to Bob Costas and Jason Whitlock
December 3rd, 2012
[As I’ve said before this is why I get angry. Our opponents can try and beat around the bush but the bottom line is they ultimately want to disarm people to make them easy victims.
The government wants to disarm the law-abiding because honestly, those are the only people who will actually bother to obey. Criminals don’t, why would they? They ignore all the other laws already what’s one more?
As Linoge recently said, they’re anti-rights cultists and fetishists. Even more than that though, I think they have a serious hate for women despite their arguments to the contrary. They merely use those arguments as a smoke screen to pluck at people’s heart-strings.
Ultimately though they would prefer a woman dead and raped in an alley than standing over the cooling corpse of her attacker. Period, end of discussion. If you want to argue that isn’t the case, explain how disarming women aids in accomplishing the latter and not the former. -B]
So yesterday Linoge responded to a tweet and I made a comment. Well for some reason it got me involved in a Twitter battle along these lines.
We went around and around, literally. He actually started re-tweeting his own comments he had previously made as if they were some how magically relevant. What was most interesting though is he was your typical liberal. By typical, I mean he fit with Joe’s analysis of the communist manifesto quite well. What I did find quite interesting though was this tweet.
That’s right folks. This guy actually believes that if you get rid of capitalism you will get rid of all crime. Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe this particular individual. His response regarding women and rape later on was just as epic.
That’s right folks, rape needs to be stopped by the honor system. While I agree men shouldn’t rape women, I violently disagree that gun’s don’t equalize. I did reply that he needs to explain how all these incidents weren’t an “equalization.” He never did actually respond. Overall he I don’t think he looked at a single link I posted. He even disregarded the FBI UCR and called it NRA propaganda. He argued that the tool did matter and that all these things were not related. You see disarming victims would also disarm criminals and thus everyone would be on the same playing field. He however did not accept my argument that it would reduce crime to a “Might makes right” scenario.
Overall it was a total waste of time. Seriously I should have blocked him long before I finally did. And last I checked he was still spamming me with replies. What I will say though was I was humbled by this comment from Linoge:
Growing up I never did have a lot of patience. Even know there are times where my patience wears thin. I will note interestingly enough there appears to be a gradient to how much patience I am willing to exert with a person. I make that comment because it appears that my level of patience with a person seems to be directly correlated to the level of intellect I perceive them capable of.
For example I’m much more willing to deal with the endless why’s of a small child than trying to explain something fundamental to some who should understand it or has the capability of figuring it out for himself.
Well obviously I felt he was pretty low on the ladder at the beginning but eventually it was obvious that he was suffering from Peterson Syndrome. Eventually I just couldn’t take it and blocked him. I will applaud the other individuals who then picked up and continued to try and get him to think rationally. I personally think it’s a lost cause, he does not have the ability for rational thought.
I think I’m going to go spend time with the wife. The wife that woman hating bastard would rather disarm to force her to live in fear than carry a weapon to conquer evil. As A Girl said:
He seemed to think that anyone who carried a gun was living in fear. He could not comprehend that fear for many of us comes from being forcibly disarmed and at the mercy of those strong than us. For that he is evil incarnate. The following concept from A Girl he most definitely couldn’t comprehend.
You, you who hate guns, you gave me nothing.
No hope.
No tools.
All that was offered me was a life of fear, of resentment, of bitterness, of dependence…
The gun community has offered me hope and strength, and courage.
They have taught me to have belief in myself.
That, that is why I am so willing to go to the mattresses. It is that reason I am willing to exert time and patience in trying to force people to admit what they are and what they are attempting to do. I love my friends and family and I will fight for them, even die for them if necessary. I think I can spend 30 minutes on twitter expressing to the scum sucking coward how he actually hates women is time well spent. Especially when I think about what it would mean for some of my friends. Even more than that, those who sadly end up walking that same path in the future. By god I want this path available for others to help them move on.
I don’t want anyone to have to depend on the kindness of a criminal to survive, I just want them to be able to depend on themselves.
That is all sorts of awesome. And it isn’t just one church either, there are numerous churches from Texas to North Carolina.
It’s nice to see some not rely on blind faith and miracles to save them but instead see that good happens through the deeds of others. Some may see religion in that, others may not. In the end though people who have faith in miracles to save them while rejecting the tools they can use themselves drive me insane, which brings me to this joke:
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”
The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.”
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”
To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.”
To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”
To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”
Why should I expect god to lift a finger for me if I won’t lift one for myself?
So lately there has been lots of talk of printed firearms. What we forget is that working with metal overall isn’t the most difficult of tasks.
It appears that someone took the blade of a spade and made himself an AK Receiver.
Honestly I don’t understand how people can think that any particular item can be “banned” from possession. Man kind is a tool maker and he can figure out how to make the tools for himself if he cannot purchase them. Once the cat is out of the bag, it’s out of the bag. No matter how hard you try, it isn’t going back. Case in point, working firearms found in prison. If that doesn’t indicate your efforts will be futile, you need mental help. The bottom line is people will make weapons, period, end of discussion.
Now the question is, why are people attempting to keep the honest and law abiding from obtaining them?

Unpossible I say, a politician rewriting a bill to be counter to the interests of Americans after debuting it as being to their benefit? It’s like they know the public doesn’t want this but it’s the only way they can pull it off.
Who needs the 4th amendment, am I right? They’re not even trying to be overt about this anymore. Can someone please explain to me why the government needs this kind of power. How is it that the act of informing a judge and getting a warrant to express probable cause for the invasion of privacy is necessary is a hindrance?
Oh, that’s right, it’s a hindrance to finding undesirables to be weeded out of the population. While anyone with half a brain should know not to expect those things to be private, which is why I’m not a big fan of the cloud, it seems a far stretch the government cannot first obtain a warrant.
Contact your legislator now and start raising hell. Just to illustrate the double standard of this, I’m reasonably sure it’s safe elected officials will be exempt and still require a warrant. Laws for thee not for me. If these elected representatives want this, they need to make their services public for all to see… They’ve got nothing to hide right? At least that’s what they keep telling us.
This is how liberty is lost: one bedwetting do-gooder law at a time.
Roberta X: Scary — Go- BOOM!
November 9th, 2012
[There’s a common saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” and whoever said that was right on the money.
As usual this is a bed wetting politician who has gone into PSH over the fact that people can shoot targets that go boom! I think his real problem is that while he may be NRA – A rated, he’s upset because reactive targets are loved by new shooters.
Senator Merritt, while this video I created was originally directed and Joan Peterson of Brady fame over pumpkins, I find that it could be easily directed at you. Yes, we packed every one of those pumpkins full of explosives. Yes we shot them. Yes they exploded in a shower of pumpkin guts. So I guess Senator you’re a perfect replacement for Joan in this video as well.
I suggest you stop being a puritan and just accept the fact that yes, there are people in this world who want to have fun by blowing stuff up. No one is forcing you to do it and despite what you think, the majority of the public is quite safe with it. -B ]
Yup, it’s that day again. I snagged the list of people I know off hand from last year. The sentiment is the same, Thank you, even if I haven’t met you.
A thanks to: Nick, Oliver, Mikel, Doug, Allen, Christine, John, Mike, Al, Tom, Ken, Andrew, Becca, Matt, and so many others that I know. If you can, thank a Veteran today.
