Terror Attack

Now it is official.  The FBI is calling it a terror attack as one of the attackers has pledged allegiance to ISIS before the attack.

Did one radicalize the other?  Maybe.  Honestly I don't care as either way they attacked and innocent Americans were killed.  No one the knew them claimed to know a thing.  Not sure I am buying that either but I might.

Now as far as the guns and ammo I can see that this may not raise a flag.  As much as the media likes to play that they had SO MUCH AMMO AND SO MANY GUNS it just is not a big deal.  Many folks in the US have multiple guns and a few thousand rounds of ammo is nothing.  Even in MA as long as you have less than 5000 rounds of .22 and less than 5000 rounds of center fire ammo you are within the law.  Add to this the recent shortage of ammo and if you are a serious shooter or pro shooter this is not much ammo to have on hand.  Now the pipe bombs is something else. . . . It sounds like they had a bit of a production line set up.  Could you hide this from folks?  Not sure.  I guess you might if you had no surprise visits from the family. . . .

Now our useless POTUS Obama will get on the TV tonight to discuss it.  Personally I am betting that he will lie to us and push that this was not a terror attack but something else like workplace violence.  More crape because he won't admit we have been attacked.  It just does not fit his world view or his needs right now.

And today we lean that there was another attack, this time with a machete and knives in London UK.  He was captured and witnesses say he was calling out "this is for Syria" as they took him away.

We are now at war and have been for a while with RADICAL Islam.  . . . . . . we need to fact that fact but we also need to be very careful what we do next.  If we start attacking anyone who follows Islam we are no better than the terrorists.  We need to act based on facts not feelings or hunches.  We are Americans, we need to act like it.

Go Pro at the shooting in CA?

Now seeing reports that they both had Go Pro cameras on them. . .

If true this further supports the terror attack theory and that they wanted to upload the attack later to various sites.

Yet Obama and the cast of regulars still ignore or refuse to admit (or probably want to hide for their own reasons) that the attack is a terror attack and not workplace violence.

Thank God it looks like America is waking up to his lies.

Is Gun Control Finally Dead?

So now that dust is starting to settle where do you think we are on gun control?

The news is now pushing for it but personally I think it is now dead for the foreseeable future. . .

I have been watching the news articles calling for gun control and the overwhelming feedback has been very pro gun and anti-gun control in the comments section.  Sure you get the tired old liberal talking points from a few folks but the overwhelming majority are pro gun and not buying the BS of the gun grabbers.  Even on the web sites of the Boston MA news papers and on CNN (when they permit comments).

News story I am watching now has one person they asked telling them that gun control does not work. . . . even the news is starting to ask that question.

They just voted down using the terror watch list to prevent folks from buying a gun - YESTERDAY.  Had that passed just being on the terror watch list would strip you of your rights to buy a gun with no due process for you to defend yourself.  Think about that - they could have taking your basic right to self defense for no reason beyond they put you on a list.  No trial, no judge, nothing. . . Can you imagine the screaming if folks were told they would be striped of their right to vote or to free speech if they were on the secret list and without due process?
 
Gun control is not only not gaining any traction with this latest shooting but folks seem to be waking up to the fact that it is making them less safe as criminals do not follow the laws.  Gun sales on Black Friday were at a record - one description was that enough guns were sold to equip the US Marine Corp and two Army division. . . in ONE DAY.  After the events of last week I expect sales to stay strong.

We need to act now to keep this going and help people wake up.  Answer their gun questions, help them learn to shoot and pick out a first gun, get them to realize that the cops get there after the shooting and they alone are responsible for their own safety.

I think we are at a major tipping point.  We may have already gone over the edge from what I am reading on line.  The calls for gun control now sound silly and more and more folks ares seeing it as a joke when they look at the terror attack.  Obama is looking like Baghdad Bob as he calls for more gun control to protect us and says the terror attack was work related.  No one is buying it any more.  Calling for gun control now is like the Titanic trying to save itself by hitting the iceberg again and folks can see it.

I think we have rounded the bend but it is still on us to win or lose this.  Gun control is dying and we need to keep up the pressure.  If we want to save ourselves and our families from this violence we need to make sure we keep our right to defend ourselves and our communities from evil.

Gun Control Insanity

Folks lets face it gun control don't work.

Be it Sen. Feinstein telling us little people that the shooter will give up when they see we are unarmed or the idiot Obama telling us that the terrorist will not attack if we pass more gun control all they are doing is showing how either stupid or corrupt they are.

Folks no one had guns in all those schools and other gun free zones that all these mass murders take place in. . . . Paris was a gun free zone with plenty of gun control - terrorist seemed ok with shooting it up anyway.

California was both a gun free zone and had lots of gun control in place yet we still had the shooting yesterday with 14 dead and 21 wounded. . . .

Gun control is a failure.  You want to fix this get rid of all of the damn gun control BS.

To put it simply - Gun control is like the captain of the Titanic deciding he can save the boat by hitting the iceberg again. . . . .

Shooting in CA

Now for the spin. . . . .

Facts so far:

• two folks named of middle eastern decent - at least by names reported
• one did work there and was at the party
• three folks involved - two men one woman
• Well planned out - multiple guns, lots of ammo, possible armor used, pipe bombs
• guns legally purchased in CA
• pipe bombs used but did not go off (update looks like they had 12)
• Only got 2 miles in a few hours before standoff with cops (hours later. . .)
• Cops got lucky and were doing training only a few miles away so had quicker than normal response time
• Still waiting on the religion of the attackers - it was a Christmass party for what that is worth

My personal take away from all this:

I won't name them or give them fame. . . .

They will spin it as work place violence because one of them left the party before coming back shooting and will totally ignore the planning involved with the number of folks, guns and bombs and that they did escape for a while. . . . I think they were thinking they had a better chance to kill more cops on the road than in the building which they wanted to blow up anyway.  They literally had hours to get away or change cars and didn't.  They wanted to be caught.

This all happened with guns purchased legally in CA which has some of the harshest gun laws in the country.  And not one of them prevented this or the attackers from making BOMBS!

Obama will now scream for more gun control like in CA and ignore the fact that it totally failed here and does not work.  Folks they want the guns so they have control it has nothing to do with crime or safety. . .

This was a real terror attack but they will be slow to admit it if they even do ever admit it.  This was thought out and well run. . . this was not someone that got pissed off at the party and came back to shoot up the place.  You don't just pick up pipe bombs at 7-11. . .

Now for the news folks and the Obama crowd. . . how do they spin this to keep the sheep from panicking?  They will want more gun control and more folks disarmed.  They want the sheep to ignore the fact that nothing they offer works and it was just show to everyone that gun control is a failure.

If you really want to end this crap then it is time to end gun control, end gun free zones, and let folks who want to carry responsibly do so.   

No I am not calling for everyone to have a gun.

No I am not calling for folks to be forced to buy a gun

What I am saying is if you let folks who want to carry a gun do so we will all be safer.  You will do two things 

1. the bad guys won't know who is armed but will know most likely someone is
2. the chances are a good guy will be close when there is an attack and can stop it or at least slow them down until help can get there. - armed everyday citizens are the militia our founders talk about . . . .

Right now these attacks have always been in gun free zones.  That is not by luck folks.  They want to rack up a body count before getting killed or now escaping to safety.  The best way to do that is to attack unarmed folks so you have time until the cops get there.  Why won't any of the gun grabbers admit this fact? - easy it destroys their arguments and they know it.

It is time we each asked ourselves a few questions:

• Will you get a gun?  
• Are you willing to learn the laws on using it? 
• Are you willing to use it?
• Are you going to wake up to the lies of the Media and Gun Grabbers?

Colorado Shooting

OK, it is sickening to see the anti gun folks at work here immediately blaming guns and the GOP for this one along with everything conservative.

A shame that once again the facts don't fit again.

This guy had issues and a small criminal record
the attack on Planned Parenthood was an accident of location - he is not pro life or against Planed Parenthood.  So far it looks like he may have tried to rob a bank or such down the road and ran off to hide from the cops and their number was up.
He listed himself as a SHE on official paperwork.

So can we stop the BS blame game and admit again that a nut case did something and folks got killed.  This has NOTHING to do with the 80+ million legal gun owners in the USA or the NRA or anything to do with our Second Amendment.

Maybe we can wait for the facts to come out since they have him. . .  but I am sure that won't work for the gun grabbers because I highly doubt it will fit into their story. . . .

No More Refugees. . . .

I for one am getting sick of hearing about how we should be letting 10,000 Syrian refugees into our country. . . . for a number of reasons.

• Let’s look at the data from Europe.  So far after a number of attacks, some successful some not it looks like a number of the terrorists came into the country as refugees.
•  Explain to me why no Middle Eastern countries will take them?  They have the room and it would be much easier due to culture and location.
• Look at the images of who they are . . . where are the women and children?  Most are men of military age in good shape. . . this is an invasion not refugees folks
• How do we vet them?  You cannot get reliable access to any way to show who they are – they are coming from a failed state and how can we trust any records they give us?

Then please tell me what we will do with them?  The UN admits that due to lack of documentation and such it takes most refugees it places 15-20 years to recover.  They have no proof of education or training so we are talking 10,000 folks that will be starting at minimum wage jobs with no proof they have a degree or training or whatever to get a better job.  They are starting from scratch and we would be footing the bill with money we don’t have.

Where will the money come to house them?  We are told we cannot help our own homeless and poor due to lack of funds. . . . yet we have money to pay for them?????  Our elderly can’t get a raise in Social Security (that they paid into) and we have cash for refugees????

I don’t want to see ANY new refugees in our country folks.  We need to fix a few things for our own citizens first:

•  Get unemployment under control (not just cook the books in DC)
•  We need to fix our health care system and get rid of the costly Obamacare
•  We need to deal with our own homeless
• We need to deal with our vet who need jobs and homes also
• We need to fix our roads and infrastructure

We have too many critical things to spend out tax dollar now . . . more things than we have tax dollars to spend. . . . We DO NOT have the money for refugees from anywhere.

Go ahead and call me racist if you want.  I am not picking who can come in based on anything – I don’t want any of them until we fix things – I don’t care where they come from.

And yes, I think we should put a hold on work visas too.  We have plenty of folks at all levels looking for work we don’t need to bring in non-citizens to compete for the jobs.

It is past time we put our own citizens first.

Paris Attacks

So I am writing this the next morning when we know a bit more. . .

ISIS claims they did it
Hundred twenty plus dead and hundreds wounded
One attacker was French with terror ties and one had a Syrian passport

Folks they hit multiple locations at the same time in PARIS.

With automatic weapons. . . .

All that gun control did nothing but help them attack.

We need to wake up.  We have fallen asleep again it has been so long since 9/11.

This is just the start.  When the photos started to come out of all the Syrian refugees streaming into Europe many of us pointed out that most were men of military age coming from areas of ISIS control and no one wanted to hear it. . .  .

France shut its borders. . . . too late. . . . ISIS has it's troops already in Europe all over the place.  Now all you can do is try to find them and wait for the rest of their plan to unfold.

We in the US need to wake up and see what is going on.  DC has been lying to us and we need to do something about it.  We are just as at risk as Paris was as we blindly go about our days and ignore the fact that we are at war with ISIS and there kind and they will do anything to get here and attack us.

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!

Time to start paying attention.  Write you reps to do something real about this stuff, pay attention to who you are voting for and stop voting for the idiots that want us disarmed and lead to the slaughter as they refuse to admit we are at war with Radical Islam.

Time to train.  Learn to shoot, learn to defend yourself.  Pay attention to what is going on around you and be the eyes and ears we need to detect where these terrorists are training or getting ready to hit.  Listen to your gut and get out of the area if things look funny. . .

Time to admit we are all in this one, not just our troops.  We live on the front line of this one.

What comes next?

My Mom passes away yesterday.

While I sit here thinking about Mom I realize that my grief is selfish at best.  I am grieving over my loss when I should be focused on her. 

What I am upset over is a temporary thing. . .  we will meet again wherever we go next, Heaven, the Summer Lands, or Valhalla – whatever you want to call it. 

She is now better.  The pain of the last year and her battle will illness is over.  She has shed the broken body that has let her down and has moved on.  She is now with the loved ones who have gone before, her parents, her brothers, and my Dad.  I am sure there were many happy faces waiting to see her again when she arrived.

Yes I will continue to cry for me but I know it is for me, she is probably rejoicing at being whole again and with those she loves watching over those of us still here and looking after us.  I bet she is busy catching up with all those who went before.

This sharp pain will turn dull, and one day we will meet again.

I love you Mom  . . . say HI to Dad for me.

Another School Shooting

So here we go again. . . another school shooting and Obama is pushing up gun sales.

Despite the BS on line this was again a gun free zone. . . .

The school has a policy of no guns on campus and did not feel the need for an armed security presence, Umpqua Community College interim President Rita Cavin said.

So sorry liberals you blew it again and set up another bunch of folks for the bad guy.  It is past time that the folks that put these gun free zones in place be held accountable for the damage they have done.  I would love to see someone sue them for damages because they could not defend themselves legally due to this BS.

I look forward to more background on the shooter coming out although I am sure they will whitewash it.  Already it looks like his friends were pro jihad based on their on line presents but nothing about the shooter yet.  I also find it strange he singled out Christians to kill. . .

When will we wake up and realize that gun free zones are killing us?  Every mass shooting over the last almost 50 years (except 1) has been a gun free zone.  NO ONE CAN FIGHT BACK and they know it.

The movie theater shooter from the Batman movie?  Ya he drove by other theaters to get to the one he attacked. . . Which was a gun free zone unlike the others.

Mall shooters - again gun free zones. . .

Schools and colleges – yep gun free. . .

And the think I really want to know is why CNN is covering this with the same old disproven gun control BS yet ignoring the 50+ folks shot in Chicago last weekend for the second weekend in a row. . . Oh Ya, they don’t want you to see the failure of all those gun laws in Chicago.

Well we can now add another shooting, and we can also add in that they just increased the background checks out there and it did nothing to stop this.  Folks a law is not going to stop them.  Murder is already illegal and that doesn’t stop them why would another gun law?  Criminals, gangs and felons already illegally get guns, the laws preventing a felon from having a gun has yet to stop any of them that want a gun – just look at the gang shootings.  Bringing the gun on campus was against school rules, ya that worked. . . .

Time to wake up folks, and I think we are slowly waking up.  CNN is screaming but here in Boston the  Boston Herald paper has nothing about this on the front page of its web site and the Boston Globe has a short story in small print.  Even in liberal MA they know this is not news and folks won’t buy more gun control as the answer.

But now we will have to watch for another push to strip us of our rights because prohibition works so well.  Just look at history to see:

Alcohol prohibition – lead to the rise of the mob to new unprecedented levels and folks still got their booze

The war on drugs we are still fighting – please show me one high school where the kids can’t get any drug they want and again it has led to a rise in gangs and violence

Taking guns from law abiding folks will do nothing to stop criminals.  But it will make it easier and safer for them. . . . Get ready to push back again.  We must keep our rights if we want to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.  We need to force the politicians to move past the failure of gun control and start to look for the real cause and prevention of these attacks, because guns are not it.
