Where do these people come from?
It is people like this that really aggravate me to no end. The older I get the less patience I have to suffer ignorant uneducated fools.
The ignorance that is displayed by this current letter to the Alamogordo Daily Journal is a further illustration of why I believe that people should have to pass a competency test on civics before being allowed to vote.
I believe in the right to bear arms, but I think it is in bad taste and sets a bad example to pack a gun at a Tea Party.
I believe it in the Right to vote, but I think it is in bad taste and elects bad representatives when the electorate has no understanding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Guns will only run people off that would like to participate in the Tea Party movement.
Jackie, wake up, what part of the Tea Party Movement exists to support all of our Creator endowed Rights don't you understand? In case you weren't taught that in school, that includes the Right to keep and bear arms. Helloooo!!!!!
Jackie, you and Jimmy Hipps need to read this slowly ... real slowly so your feeble brains can get a grip on it;
The Rally that was held in Alamogordo was organized by a local Open Carry organization and the local Tea party Movement. Let me say that again in case you didn't get it the first time, It was a dual organization event.
Both organizations jointly applied for and received a permit from the city of Alamogordo for the event.
Is any of this sinking in Jackie? Jimmy??
Jackie, do you know how stupid your, "Guns will only run off..., comment sounds? It is obvious that you have absolutely no idea what the Tea Party Movement is all about do you? Talk about ignorance, geez dude wake up!
I think the only time we should strap a gun on our side is when we plan on using it.
Another idiotic statement Jackie? Ever heard of Self Defense?
Or do you believe that the bag guys are going to snail mail, e-mail or call you personally and tell you that they are going to rob, rape or car-jack your sorry ass at such and such a place at so and such a time so you can strap a gun on your side with plans of using it?
"....the only time we should strap a gun on our side is when we plan on using it."
What a brain dead statement!
I do not think we have gotten to that point yet. The American people needs to stand and be heard, but not by a gun shot.
No we haven't gotten to that point yet and I hope with all hope that we never do get to that point.
"..but not by a gun shot."
It is my opinion that only an arrogant dumb-ass would make a blanket statement like that. Were you there? How many gunshots did you here? How many gunshots were reported in the liberal mainstream media, that you likely watch, were reported.
Here is a trivia question for you Jackie, and Jimmy can chime in too if he dares;
In all of the Open Carry Events, held all across this great Country, in the last 10 years how many gunshots were heard or reported?
We need to demonstrate in a civil manner. Lets not look worse than the people we are demonstrating against.
What was uncivil about the event? Everyone including the three anti Tea Party Movement "protesters" were peaceful and civil.
Not worse than the people we are demonstrating against?
Would that be the ACORN and SEIU thugs that have been arrested for physically assaulting Tea Party Goers? Would that be some of our elected officials that called us Nazi's, traitors, etc....? Would that be the Coakley thugs that roughed up a reporter doing his job? I could go on, but you likely won't ever get the point anyway.
Bringing guns to Tea Party movements will only cause our ideals to die on the vine.
Die on the vine? You don't have a clue Jackie, not one iota of a clue.
Yes, the Tea Party is about taxes, but the majority of participants are also concered with the inalienable Rights articulated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I realize that may be hard to grasp for single minded people like you and Jimmy, but that does include the Right to keep and bear arms.
And finally!
You do support the Military and its Veterans don't you Jackie?
You know the ones that; ..at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life.
The Open Carry Organization in question was formed by a few Soldiers that are currently on active duty. Many of those attending that were LAWFULLY bearing arms are current or former members of the United States Military.
It would Grieve me to think that you are disparaging those selfless and Patriotic Individuals.
Get you head out of your ass!

James Hipps must have been out in the Florida sun too long!
In a recent letter to The Alamogordo Daily News this idiot made some pretty scathing remarks about the people that populate this sleepy little retirement town that I can not ignore.
Having friends and family living there, some of whom were at the PERMITTED event, I am compelled to take Jimmy to task in terms that even he should understand. Since he mentions seeing it on video I can only assume that it was a one sided crockumentary aired on one of left leaning "Main Stream Media" cable channels.
What I've seen of the protest video from Saturday's tea party/gun rally makes me ill. This is one of the most un-American protests I've ever seen.
Un-American??? Let me tell you something you ungrateful Dipshit; A large number of the participants were either retired or currently active duty military members.
For your information, Comrade Hipps, a Military member or veteran is; someone who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life.
Your insinuation that these people, who were exercising their Constitutional Rights, are un-patriotic is an unconscionable insult to anyone who has ever served this great country.
The residents of Alamogordo who participated in this event are an embarrassment to those of us who actually love our country.
You love your country???
My ass Jimmy, you don't have the slightest clue what your talking about. The citizens that participated in this permitted assembly were exercising their inalienable Rights to speak, assemble and bear arms.
So you think Americans being Americans is an embarrassment??? If that's the case Jimmy then pack up you shit and relocate to a country where people share your thoughts. You are the one that is Un-American Kipps if you think Citizens availing themselves of their Rights is an anti-American act.
You have the audacity to call that Un-American???? In my mind that makes you one of the most ungrateful socialist bastards I have ever encountered.
Freedom of speech is great. I'll fight to my death to defend that right, even if I don't agree with you, but we all know you can't yell "fire" in a movie theater.
Freedom of speech is great with you Jimmy?
Yes, sure, right up until someone disagrees with you then they are embarrassing and Un-American.
Do you know how Un-American YOU sound?
Apparently you are not educated enough to realize that freedom of speech also includes freedom of expression.
As for not being able to yell fire in a movie theater; Yes I can, if it is actually on fire OR if it is not I am willing to accept the consequences for my action.
Fight to the death to defend my Right ..... Jimmy I believe you are a Liar of the most pompous sort.
I have heard that bullshit all my life; Mostly from socialist bastards who want the government to tend to their every need and are to COWARDLY or inept to even take measures to support or protect their own families.
People like you disgust me Jimmy. Be gut wrenchingly honest Jimmy you wouldn't even subject yourself to a slight paper cut to defend your own family. Because you sat there at your computer denigrating those that are exercising their Rights, I know damn well you would not put yourself out to defend anyone against anything.
The citizens in the video are what's wrong with America.
Alamogordo is a retirement town of approximately 40,000. A very large portion of that number is made up of currently employed or retired citizens that work for the Federal Government and currently on active duty or retired members of the United States Armed Forces.
These are the citizens that you proclaim are what is wrong with America.
That you would express such derogatory comments about those that served to preserve your Right to be an asshole, I find you to be an ungrateful Bastard. If you happen to be a Veteran yourself I find you utterly disgusting in that you would express this notion about people you may have served with.
How can anyone want to deny people health insurance?
No one wants to deny anyone anything Comrade. What we want is our elected officials to do is honor the oath they took to obey the Constitution. Jimmy I defy you to show me in the Constitution where Congress has the power to enact the current health-care proposal. And don't give me that "for the general welfare" clause either as that dog don't hunt!
"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare but only those specifically enumerated."
-- Thomas Jefferson
In case you missed it, or likely you were not even taught it in Public School, Thomas Jefferson was one of the authors of the Constitution and I think he explains it in clear English what they meant. Don't you Jimmy?
How does gun ownership play into the debate?
Jim, I guess you are too singular minded to realize that the event was a government approved multi purpose gathering of Patriotic Americans exercising a number of their inalienable Rights . Jimmy are you so ignorant as to think that we can or should only be able to exercise one Right at a time?
What practical purpose does it serve to own an AR-15?
I realize that this may be above your level of intelligence but, who needs a purpose to do anything legal?
What practical purpose does it serve to own a motor car that can go 140 miles an hour?
Comrade Hipps this is America, I am under no requirement to explain to you or anyone else what practical purpose I have for doing anything that is my Right and is legal to do so.
Just because you assume Nanny-ship over me does not make it so. You Sir, are a busy body who's time would be better spent minding his own business instead of worrying how others engage in lawful activity.
What purpose, other than the incitement of violence against a "black president" and our nation, does bringing a gun to a tea party serve?
Excuse me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back that up with facts Jimmy. I believe you are a political provocateur.
How dare you make such an assessment of those that at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life?
Where in anything written or otherwise can you claim the veracity of that statement? That statement is equivalent to the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" that you referenced in your uninformed letter. Here is an other quote from someone who actually wrote the Constitution;
"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms ... "
-- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Pierce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)
Bet you didn't learn that in Public School did you?
Last I knew, the president and his staff are Americans, just like those of us who are ashamed of such blatant ignorance as displayed in Alamogordo.
Last I knew Comrade those participating in that peaceful PERMITTED assembly were Americans as well. Many of whom are Military members or veterans who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life.
Obviously, education is not an important issue in Alamogordo Š a part of America that is truly an embarrassment.
In reality Comrade Jimmy education is an important issue in Alamogordo. We want our children educated in the history of this great country. It is obvious that they are not getting it from public education so it behooves those concerned citizens in Alamogordo and communities all over this country to take the education of their children on themselves.
What better way to educate our youth on the Constitution than to publicly demonstrate The Right to; speech, expression, peaceful assembly and keep and bear arms.
It appears that you, Comrade Kipps, are too stupid to recognize the REAL America when you see it.
I suggest that you educate yourself on the Constitution, our Founding Fsthers and their intent before you pen anymore unfounded drivel.
It is you Sir, that is an embarrassment to this great nation, not those that understand what the Constitution and Bill of Rights really means.
No wonder so many parents are choosing to Home-School their children.

And now for the reach around
I can understand Olympia Snowe bending over for Emperor Reid as 57% of Maine voted for the current administration and its political agenda. She voted the way a majority of people in her state wanted her too. That is the way it should be.
No KY Jelly for Nebraskans
Conversely Benedict Nelson betrayed the 57% of Nebraskans that voted against the current administration and its political agenda.
For those that claim that this legislation won't cost the taxpayers any extra money forget, aren't aware or just don't care that much of this atrocity is unconstitutional. As soon as it is signed into law a very large number of state Attorneys General are going to challenge it in court. Especially the "special dispensation" Nelson got for Nebraska.
Still no KY Jelly
Taxpayer funds on both sides of this issue will be spent on lawyers over the next several years. The only ones who will ever benefit from this, is not the young, elderly or sick, it will be the attorneys that spend the next however many years fighting this out in court.
These legal b/millions are only a small portion of what this bill will cost taxpayers.
Now Benny wants to give us a reach around
If Benny really really believed what he did was the best right thing he could have done for Nebraskans then he would not need to schedule television time during a Nebraska football game.
Who are who trying to stroke with this reach around Ben? The left that turned on you or the 57% of Nebraskans you betrayed.
Ben most Nebraskans want you out of office ASAP, ruining their bowl game with your pathetic whining is only going to piss them off even more. People from both sides of the political aisle watch sports to escape politics for a short time. We don't need you interrupting our celebration to explain why you bent us over without lubrication.
Ben you took an oath to follow the Constitution and represent the will of the people; This point you have done neither and it is going to cost us millions in just legal fees alone.
Ben, we know what you did, we know why you did it.
Just when the 150 million dollar offensive odor of Nukegate was about gone you crapped in your own backyard again Ben. We are going to have to put up with the stench of your vote selling for a very long time.
Since it is likely our money being used to fund this game day abomination keep your reach around Ben, we don't want.

Three Stooges Stand up for Ben
In a recent Lincoln Journal Fish Wrapper Jeremy Nordquist, Heath Mello, and Jane Kleeb pulled their collective heads out of Nelsons ass long enough to place the blame for the Healthcare debacle on the backs of Mike Johannes and Lee Terry.
Where the hell have you three ignorant know-nothings been for the last three months?
WHAT PART OF HAIRY REID IN THE SENATE, AND NANCY PELOSI IN THE HOUSE, HAVE FORBIDDEN ANY REPUBLICAN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS OR OFFERING ANY AMENDMANTS THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HEALTHCARE DON'T YOU THREE IDIOTS UNDERSTAND.
You don't remember the locked door do you?
The only non Democrat that had any input at all was Olympia Snow the RINO from Maine and they kicked her sorry ass to the curb with a sharp towed boot after they got the one "If I don't like the final bill I'll vote against it" go ahead vote from her.
Ben Nelson seems to stupid to realize that Reid will throw his Cornhusker turncoat ass under the bus as soon as Nelson casts his vote for this atrocity.
Just one question Benny; This isn't about your thoughts on abortion, what does Reid have on you and/or what have you been promised under the table?
What ever it is it better be good because I don't think you can get re-elected dog catcher in Nebraska right now. You know that a majority of Nebraskans do not want this yet you seem determined to shove it up our ass and break it off.
We hired you to vote they way we tell you to not the way Reid orders you too. Go ahead Ben turn your back on your constituents Ben, we fired Bobby and we can fire your turncoat ass too.
My guess though is that you have already decided your not going to run in 2011. If by some small chance you do we will remember Ben.
What makes this even worse is Don Walton appears to be a dumb ass for letting those statements go unchallenged. Way to go Donny it speaks volumes for your "Journalistic Integrety" or should I say lack there of?

Are you a Member of The Nebraska Firearms Owners Association?
Well you ought to be!
Officially organized one year ago the NFOA accomplished more legislative change in the first six months of existence that I thought could be done in 10 years.
Even before LB454, the bill that became Concealed Carry law, passed I pointed out what I saw as a number of problems with it. I also felt that it would take years to make the necessary changes that would bring Nebraska in line with concealed carry laws in most of the other states.
During the past legislative session members of the NFOA convinced the Unicameral to enact the following changes;
Reciprocity/Recognition of other states CCW permits/licenses
State pre-emption that put an end to a patchwork of local laws
Range Protection Act - a law that the Issac Walton League had been trying to get through for a decade. In thier magazine the "Ikes" recognized that the efforts of the NFOA was what it took to finally get it passed.
Military exemption from having to switch residency from home state to apply for a concealed carry permit.
Mandating the State patrol has 45 days to complete the process of issuing a permit. Previously the Patrol could take as long as they wanted.
Since the NRA has had to go global in their fight to protect the Right to keep and bear arms it has left a vacuum that is being filled by long standing organizations like the Second Amendment Foundation, The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Gun Owners of America and others.
Grass roots 0rganizations like The Nebraska Firearms owners Association, The Virginia/Arizona Citizen Defense leagues and many more have also formed and stepped up to fill the vacuum.
If you live in Nebraska and are not a member of the NFOA you should be. Check out their website Here.

If LPD is so concerned about Crime why do they encourage Child Abuse?
Recently LPD officers told a women that if her physically abusive, drug addicted felon for an ex husband Stephen Williamson shows up for a court ordered visitation she must MAKE the 8 and 9 year old girls go with him.Even though they are in physical and mental fear of him.
Female LPD Officer; " Even if Mr Williamson forcibly abducts them and drags them kicking and screaming him to his car we will do nothing to stop him and you can be arrested if you interfere with his visitation."
Even Judge Steven Burns agrees, telling the mother that she will be jailed for contempt if she does not make her Children go with him. Even after Williamson told the Burns that he saw nothing wrong with his kids being around his drug abusing friends while they are using.
Saying that children, "Must be made to do things they don't want to". Burns went on, "It is like taking your children to the doctor for a shot".
Judge Burns has twice refused this womans application for an order of protection in the last 7 years. LPD investigated an incident in 2002/3 when he left death threats on her cell phone. The investigating officer told her she didn't think he was serious and as far as I know LPD did not even take a report on it.
Of course that was coupled with the fact that he showed up at the girls day care making threats to both her and her mom. Day care staff had to move the remaining children to safety when Williamson made comments, in front of his daughters about hurting her and saying of the ex wife's recent appendix removal surgery, "I hoped that she would have died".
Nope this was not a good enough reason for a protection order; Hell it was barely enough for LPD to strain themselves with a disturbing the peace charge that may have been dismissed anyway.
For years organizations like LPD has cautioned our children on "Stranger Danger" telling them not to go with anyone they do not know.
Talk is cheap when you tell a concerned mother that she must make her daughters go with a physically abusive drug addict that likes young girls.
This Wife beating drug addict has seen the children once since 2004 (Christmas 2008) and that was a very unpleasant experience for them. He picked them up and then left them for a day or so with relatives they had never met so that he could go bar hopping.
In fact the last time they saw him prior to that was on Easter weekend 2004 from the back seat of an LPD patrol car. They had been placed there because LPD was conducting a drug raid on his apartment. This was after his 16 year old girlfriend was arrested for driving his car with drugs in it.
A few months ago Williamson again made threats to harm His ex wife and members of her family in person and on cell phone voice mail. The above photo is Stephen in act of making some of those threats.
LPD's response, "He is only saying that because he can't see his kids and you will be arrested if you interfere with him physically forcing them into his car."
Again Judge Burns refused to issue an order of protection stating that there was no grounds.
Nebraska Child support refuses to do anything about this punk being $42,000.00 dollars behind in child support. Burns didn't even give him a slap on the hand for the guilty of contempt plea for 42G's and he won't even address the fact that Williamsom sat in his court and refused to maintain health insurance on the girls when Burns ordered him to do so.
Is Judge Steven Burns, Nebraska Child Support and the LPD, guilty of child neglect/abuse?
I think so!
One has to wonder why LPD and Judge Burns is bending over backwards for this dirtbag;
Since Williamson has served less than 7 months total time locked up for all of his crimes (all of that was pre-trial incarceration BTW) I believe that he is a snitch for LPD and they are whispering in Burn's ear about the favors they owe him.
Either that or his lawyer Eddy Rodel has something on Burns and offered to make it public if Burns didn't give him the decision he wanted.
But then what could that something be?
Rumor has it that there is more than coffee in the mug Burns brings to the court room.
The rumor angle may be true but that does not explain the complicity of LPD, Nebraska Child Support and Judge steven Burns in the matter.
Regardless of the reason for the "special treatment" it is my contention that LPD, led by Tom Casady, the State of Nebraska and Judge Steven Burns are all guilty of child Neglect and abuse.

CJ's Lincoln Extreme Sports - A rip off? You decide!
I have an ATM?Debit card account that I keep a minimal amount of money in (usually $100.00 or so) for online and local purchases at places I do not usually shop.
During the first week of September I allowed my son to make a $20.00 purchase at CJ's Lincoln Extreme Sports located at 1075 N 33
Lincoln, NE 68503, 402-464-2769.
The person on duty had trouble with the card machine and the transaction appeared not to complete so it was tried 4 mores times without a transaction approved showing on the screen. During the time the clerk was attempting to process the card he kept fumbling with the phone cable connection saying that because of the cable being loose it (the machine) did not work sometimes.
My son left without the merchandise.
A number of days later I checked the status of that account while at my bank doing other account business. I was informed that my account (the one referenced above) was over drawn by nearly 100.00 dollars. The teller provided me with a copy of all the transactions on the account for the previous two weeks.
In reviewing the transactions it shows that CJ"s debited my account for 5 separate transactions of $20.00 each totalling $100.00 all at nearly the same time on the same day. It also showed the action by CJ"s produced 2 overdraft charges.
No matter how you add it the account would not have been over drawn had it not been for CJ's faulty equipment.
CJ's was contacted and blamed the "error" on the card company stating that their (CJ's) machine was bad and a new one was on order. I was also told face to face in the store by a female clerk that my card was not the only one to have problems with their broken machine. I was given the impression that it was happening quite frequently.
I produced a copy of my bank statement that showed all of the transactions made on that account leading up to and after CJ's tried to use their broken machine to ring up $20.00 worth of merchandise.
CJ's kept that copy of my statement saying they had to fax it to the card company and on receipt the card company had supposedly told this female clerk that they would refund the $100.00 and reimburse me for the overdraft charges.
It took nearly a week before the $100.00 was refunded to my account. The reimbursement for the overdraft charges was not posted.
Again CJ's was contacted and I was told that they (CJ's) would contact the card company and get it taken care of.
As of today I contacted CJ's and was told by the Owner/Manager that it was they (CJ's) that refunded the $100.00, not the card company, and that he was not responsible for paying the overdraft charges, that he was not going to pay them and I could just go pound sand.
I think two months to make it right is plenty long enough.
I provided documented proof that they are responsible for those charges and they have admitted to using faulty equipment to conduct legitimate business.
It is my opinion that CJ's Lincoln Extreme Sports is a disreputable business, in that they refuse to stand up and admit when they are wrong and refuse to make it right when it is proved beyond any doubt that they are responsible.
In response to the service received by this customer I have taken the following actions;
1. Crafted this narrative for this website so others will know of my experience should they choose to use this business
2. Filed a consumer complaint with the Nebraska attorney generals office.
3. Given (based on my experience) appropriate ratings on online websites that track and monitor things like this.
Shop there if you want to, but be warned by my experience. It is my opinion that CJ's does not care for their customers, nor will they admit their mistakes let alone correct them when they are exposed.
My son tried to spend $20.00 there, CJ's charged $100.00 for merchandise that was never received. When this was proven to them they did refund the $100.00 but refused to be accountable for the overdraft charges they caused with their faulty equipment.
It is my belief that CJ's intentionally ripped me off.
They know they did by using equipment they knew to be faulty. They admitted they knew the equipment was faulty at the time of the transaction and refuse to correct the problem caused by the faulty equipment even when it was proved by a bank statement that they were responsible.
Shop there if you want to but beware my experience when you do.

Time on the range
"Get out from under foot husband"
It was Saturday October 11 at 1000 hrs, 71 degrees, over cast and the wind was gusting out of the south 15 to 20 mph when "She Who must be Obeyed" threw me out of the house and told me not to come back for at least three hours. In fact her exact words were;
"I bought you a year membership at the Horse Thief gun range now go use it, I have an afghan to lay out and finish. I don't want you in my way."
My response (as I headed out the door rifle, ammo and range bag in hand);
"Yes Dear, your the Boss Dear, anything you say Dear."
Note: Yes this is another Mossberg SSI article.
After signing in I tossed a target board in the back of the Bow Tie P/U and drove over to the west to east 300 yard range. After planting the stand in the 200 yard holder I set up the rest and sand bag. Pausing to clear my head I thought;
"Damn that is a long poke and you ain't shot that far in a long time."
Slipping a 150 grain Remington Core-Lokt round of 30-06 ammunition into the chamber and closing the action I pressed the butt stock into my cheek and shoulder. Finding the target with the 9 power setting of the Leopold scope I tried to settle the cross hairs on the center of the target and decided it wasn't going to happen with the wind gusting out of the south the way it was.
When the gusting died down a few moments later I steadied the hairs and squeezed of the first round.
30 caliber holes are hard to see at 200 yards even on 9 power so I ejected the spent brass and moved to the next bench where my 45X spotting scope sat focussed on the target. The wind had picked up again wobbling the scope making it difficult for me to see the hole in the paper a few inches low and a tad to the left.
Back to the bench with the rifle on it. I loaded the 2nd round and after letting the wind abate sent it down range. For some reason I was able to see it through the Leopold. It had landed dead center about an inch low. I verified it in the spotting scope before launching the 3rd bullet. Number 3 hit about half way between 1 & 2.
Hopping in the Bow Tie I drove (your damn right I lazy) down and eye balled the target numbering the hits with a Sharpie in the process.
Back at the firing line I put shots number 4 & 5 on the paper.
Nobody was more surprised than I when I saw that the last three shots I fired made one ragged hole that could be covered with a quarter.
An off the rack Mossberg hunting rifle with a low end Leopold scope and Remington factory hunting ammo produced a sub MOA group at 200 yards. Okay I am impressed.
If I can shoot this rifle with this barrel (30-06) and the .223 bull barrel (yes the one with the 25 year old Simmons 3-10 44 mag scope) I have for the same receiver as well as I do with factory ammo, I can't help but wonder how good the combinations could be with meticuously reloaded rounds.
I have no doubt these tools are capable of more accuracy than I will ever be able to record with them.
I acquit myself pretty well on the longer ranges but I will be the first to admit that, especially with the gusting wind, today was an exceptional day for me.
Recap
Why 200 yards and not the full 300?
If memory serves correctly before today I have only taken one shot past 100 yards in the last 3 years (Re: This past Late Decembers Hog hunt when I took one at 175 yards with the .223 barrel. In fact that is why the 5 shots pictured are about 2 inches low; That barrel (30-06) is sighted in at 100 yards and that is all the further I have ever shot it. All game I have harvested with it has been 80 yards or less.
As time and reloading permits (ain't factory ammo getting high dollar?) I intend to put both those calibers on paper out to at least 300 yards. For now though I'll keep the century zero as I do not anticipate having to shoot any farther than that during any of the hunting trips I have planned through the end of the year.

Open Carry American dimed out by Self Righteous CCW'er
Legal open carry of a sidearm leads to arrest for Disturbing the Peace
There is a lot of conversation on a number of websites as to whether Noble was legal or not. The majority, with which I concur, consensus is that he was breaking no law and that Peace Officers at the scene overstepped the authority given them by "We the People".
Hopefully Noble will prevail and not only be awarded punitive damages from the responsible organization but from each of the officers personal bank accounts as well.
What really galls me is that it was one of our own that instigated the travesty that befell Noble.
Meet the back stabbing Judas thug John Atkinson Sr. (My Opinion)
Prosecutors called John Atkinson Sr. of Vanport Township, the first person to spot Noble in a crowd of about 300 people standing in Beaver’s McIntosh Square. Obama, Biden and other Democratic leaders were speaking less than 100 yards away in Quay Square. The parks are at the center of town.
Atkinson said Noble had a semiautomatic 9mm handgun holstered on his right hip and was carrying a Bible. Noble crossed under a police tape cordoning off the park and began distributing literature.
Atkinson, who has a license to carry a concealed weapon and has been a gun owner most of his life, said he immediately hailed a sheriff’s deputy and pointed out Noble, who was arrested on the spot.
“He had every right to (have the gun), but in my opinion, this was a presidential rally, and that isn’t the right time or place to carry a firearm,” Atkinson said.
Atkinson, in my opinion you are a no count backstabbing traitorous to the "Gun Rights Movement" low life scum bag Bastard with a capital B. A. S. T. A. R. D.
Atkinson, you must be one of those politically correct "I don't care if it is legal" you can't do that here Obama supporters.
If possible I would like to see Noble sue your pompous ass for everything you have, as your actions have probably caused the "Guns Rights Movement" more harm than Nobles did.
You are a prime example that the divide and conquor tactics of the egg sucking dog liberal left are working. How does it feel to be a useful tool thug for those that want to strip us of all our 2A Rights? I hope your proud of yourself
So Johnny what was it that really set you off?
Did the sight of a gun send warm piss running down you leg causing you to hide behind the cops?
Was it the Bible?
Did the Good Book remind you of your sinful existance and cause an involuntary release of excriment in your BVD's?
Or maybe your so indoctrinated to the liberal left way of thinking that you just can't stand to see someone exercise a God given Right.
I would hazard a guess that it is because you are too much of a whiny cry baby candy pussy to do what Noble did; Stand up and be an American so you had to knock him down a peg or two.
Mr Atkinson, you can go straight to hell.

Life Got in the Way
I know, I know it has been months since I have posted.
Let's just say that it has been a roller coaster of a summer.
History
When we relocated our business to Nebraska in 1994 we were not planning on making the Corn husker state our permanent home. We knew that the day would come when we would be moving away. Since I retired at the end of 2000 we began looking for the place we wanted to live out our days.
This will Explain my almost trademark OU ball cap
In 2003 we found that place; Oklahoma. Since that time we have been putting things in place to make that a reality. Even though there were a few we had shared that information with we, for the most part, played it pretty close to the vest.
A Devastating and Unexpected Loss
For those of you that know us personally you are painfully aware that we lost our youngest son in May. Many of you had known or met him and shared in some degree our loss. Kevin was 24 years old and used a firearm to end his own life.
That we had already planned to accomplish several things this year has been a saving grace in that we had a focus that has helped us get by and deal with our loss.
Recognizing hard work
It was also my pleasure on behalf of Alan Gottlieb and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to present a number of involved Nebraskans with Certificates of Appreciation for your hard work in making concealed carry a reality in Nebraska a few years ago and the utter defeat of Senator Ashfords atrocity this year. For many years I felt like I was the only one championing the cause. I have been delighted more than mere words can express the work that more and more of you are doing for the issue of "Gun Rights" in Nebraska. Take note that you have been successful and your hard work has been noticed and appreciated by several national organizations.
We have been very busy this summer
When Mrs Gun retired last November we knew 2008 would be the year. We have looked at several small ranch/farm type of properties in the Sooner state this summer and anticipate closing on one of them sometime during the winter months.
We had also had several trips planned this summer to visit family and friends around the country
Not counting the several trips to the Boomer Sooner state we have traveled to Ohio, upstate New York, Vermont, Philadelphia, Pa and our hometown of Horse Thief, New Mexico. With all of this traveling we had literally taken up residence in our 5th wheel travel trailer.
Gun Rights Policy Conference 2008
We also spent last weekend at the Gun Rights Policy Conference; Where we were able to re-acquaint with old friends and meet a few new ones. A lot is always learned from the many panel discussions, but the best time is always sitting around in the evening after the days discussions talking with friends like Dave Kopel and Jeff Knox. Friend Bob Barr, Libertarian Party Candidate for President, was there for the Saturday evening reception. During some of the private moments that Mrs Gun and I had with Bob we made plans to get together when we are in Georgia later this year.
One other thing we had been planning for sometime was to give the snow bird life a try
In fact I am writing this missive on my laptop from the kitchen table of our fifth wheel RV. Yes, thankfully many RV parks now have WiFi. We are comfortably located in an RV park near our hometown of Horse Thief. In addition to spending quality time with family we have rarely seen in years, I have already got to the range with one of and had coffee with another of the guys I shared an Indentured Servitude to Our rich Uncle with.
Yes we will be back in Nebraska from time to time and look forward to visiting with many of you while we are there. I am also not finished with this Blog. There are many more things I feel need to be addressed and as time permits I will be posting them.

Employees trained to die quietly
Joe, over to the Crabby Shack is reporting on a fiasco of moronic proportions.
It seems that one of the most vocal opponents of allowing concealed carry on their premises spent Sunday evening holding hands with the Omaha Police Department and singing Kumbyah.
The end result is that Robert Batt, vice president of Nebraska Furniture Mart is what war veteran, retired welder and all around curmudgeon Walther would call a Dumbass and the Omaha Police Chief should be fired for wasting the taxpayers money.
Crisis Training Drill my ass.
The scenario consisted of a disgruntled man who came into the store to confront his ex-girlfriend. The ex-boyfriend simulated shooting a security guard and taking several people hostage.
Quiz time;
When was the last time any of the Murdering Bastards you read about in the media took hostages?
Answer
They don't Dumbass. They walk through the door and open up on the unarmed security guard and keep shooting until they run out of ammo, cap their own sorry ass or get righteously gunned down by a private citizen with a gun because the responding Gendarmes never ever get there in time to do anything except cordon off the area and process a crime scene.
Observation for extra credit
An unarmed security guard is like a canary bird in a coal mine. When the bird/guard topples over dead the others are suppose to run like hell.
Oh I bet those NFM
It is really simple, if management can convince the
Doesn't anyone else see that this is just making a murdering bastards job that much easier?
Train the employees to be herded up like cattle going to slaughter instead of fighting back or running like hell. Saves the murdering bastard time and ammo doesn't it?
Robert Batt, vice president of Nebraska Furniture Mart, said his company approached Omaha police with the idea of conducting the drill to better prepare employees for a crisis.
Prepare my ass. I doubt Bobby's got your best interests at heart. He is looking out for the bottom line.
50 of Omaha's finest participated in this simian driven football PR experience and no mention is given on the simulated response time. Wanna bet that it was realistic? I'll give you 2-1 it wasn't.
"We don't want to be in the avoidance mode," Batt said. "I hope we are going to do this again. . . . My hat's off to the police and fire and the people who make us safe. We need to be proactive in any kind of incident training. That's why we run these training exercises."
Maybe you believe that bovine excrement Robby but I don't. Me thinks you need to change your VP title to something that more honestly reflects your true position; Sheeple Farmer
Police and fire DO NOT make us safe. They don't even KEEP us safe.
They do their job;
The
How the hell is that making us safe?
They come to our place of business and lecture us on how we need to allow
Oh and as Joe relates;
What about the signs?
You know the No Gun Allowed signs. I thought that was suppose to prevent an occurrence like this from happening.
Is this training drill an admission that they don't work? You mean only law abiding citizens obey those no gun directives? Say it ain't so.
Why I thought those signs were the cure for everything including STD's and the common cold.
Now I really am depressed.

Gun Rags - Why I don't buy them
As if I didn't need any reassurance of why I seldom do it, I bought a current issue of one of the firearms periodicals.
Now I know I am not the most knowledgeable of scribes when it comes to shooting, reloading, bullet casting, ballistics and all around gun stuff. I can however hold my own with my betters on most of the referenced subjects.
I am not going to embarrass the authors by mentioning the periodical.
Note to Author #1 - It is obvious that you do not have even the most basic understanding of MOA and therefore have no business writing an article explaining it to anyone else.
Note to Author #2 - You were doing good until you sought to explain how sights are adjusted. I didn't even finish the article. I tossed the magazine across the room while grabbing my earlobes and repeating the phrase "Woosaw, woosaw, woosaw".
As expected the rest of the rag was even more uninspiring.
Okay so you guys had the opportunity to shoot some new guns sent to you by the manufacturers. Been there done that, so far so good.
And for the readers benefit - No you don't get to keep them unless you want to pay for them. They get sent back to the factory so the same gun can be sent out to some other scribe so he can add his stamp of approval to the makers advertising essay.
And for you aspiring outdoor writers there is generally a six month lead on material. Meaning Magazines staffs are setting the layout for the September - November hunting season issues right now. Unless it is something spectacular enough for them to change the layout if it isn't submitted in the next month or so it will be too late for this year.
The Trifecta
Gun writer gets a gun from one company around the same time as he/she gets a scope from another company. They he/she either gets ammo from or convinces an ammo company to send some for testing.
Writer puts test scope on test gun and heads to the range with test ammo. During the "test" pictures are taking with an eye toward at least one article on each product.
When done the writer has completed one day of testing with sellable material for three different articles to three different publications (unless they are on exclusive contract and most are not).
Of course in the furtherance of "job security" the article on the scope will mention the rifle and ammo. The article on the rifle will mention the scope and ammo etc....
How about some originality
Since they sent you the gun the least you could do is come up with something original instead of rewording or doing a cut & paste from the website. Why the hell should I have to pay the better part of ten bucks to read something I can read for free in the makers press release?
So much for these publications being educational and written by experienced people that know what they were talking about.
I know they are not. Never really have been, but in years past at least there was the facade of "we're doing it for our readers".
The articles are getting shorter, less informative and those that are suppose to be informative seem to be written by folks that barely have a clue as to what they have been assigned to write about.
Oh and if you have been reading these "rags" as long as I have you will note how much of what is published is simply a reprinting of articles written over the last 25 years. Sometimes they change it to make it more current, sometimes they don't.
Oh and lets not forget that all of these magazines exist for one reason and one reason only;
To make a profit.
I know that comes as a shock to many of you that so and so didn't publish that article because he/she genuinely cares that you learn something. That may have been the writers intent, but the only reason that story got printed in the first place was because there was something in the article they could use to sell advertising space.
Read any of these "rags" and notice the advertising that is paged with or close to the subject of the article. No it's not a coincidence.
Phone conversation;
Advertising sales associate; Hey Joe this is John Adman with "Guns Be Good Publications". We are thinking about running a very positive article R. Shooter wrote on your new bolt action double barrel belt fed single shot semiautomatic rifle for our September issue. Hehe just in time for the "buy a new gun for deer season sales" ole buddy. Can we count on you for a full page ad?
Gun Maker; No problem John, just send me the bill.
Guess what!
If the maker doesn't buy the ad space the article never gets printed. Bet that surprised everyone.
Make your own decision on the magazines but understand that every single article you read will be published with the intent to sell advertising and may have been written by someone that knows little about what the hell their writing in the first place.
Oh and for those that think I am "BSing" here is an actual conversation I had with an editor back in 2001.
Editor; Acme Express is just down the road from you and the Ad execs here think they would be a good fit for our publication.
Me; Okay ???????
Editor; We need you to write a positive article about their Xyz. You know businesses are more apt to cut the check if they get a good product review story to go along with it.
Me; I am already familiar with thepiece of junk Xyz and my literary skills aren't good enough to make a silk purse out of that sows ear.
Long story short - Someone (not me) did the story and they sold a full page ad.
Yes I have done a few product reviews on these pages and I plan on doing some more, but rest assured that what I write about a product good or bad comes from my personal experience with it and will not be based on whether it generates any kind of revenue for this website.
Moral of the story
I have learned my lesson yet again. No matter how good the teasers are on the cover just about any "Gun Rag" I have bought in the last 10 years has been published with one thought in mind - Sell Advertising.
They don't even pretend anymore.

Editorial Staff Lack Education
What kind of education is being taught at the University of Nebraska; A total brainwashing of common sense and reason?
Are The students being educated or indoctrinated?
Recently a number of brain dead martyrs calling themselves Editorial Staff, showed just how little education they have received at the Big Red institution of higher learning.
Concealed Carry on Campus Unnecessary
That's why this editorial board is glad concealed firearms are banned on University of Nebraska campuses. We understand the need to protect students and everyone else; we just don't see how students running around with concealed handguns will ever actually solve a problem.
I guess these guys haven't been paying attention or they failed to grasp the concept of research or they would know that there have been several school shootings stopped because students and/or faculty had access to a firearm.
I'll give you a hint kiddies, try looking up the Appalachian Law School. Look up Mississippi and Pennsylvania while your at it. You might learn something.
They also don't seem to grasp a concept that is understood by anyone capable of rational thought;
The truth is, police and military undergo an incredible amount of firearms training - to the point that they are ready to distinguish targets and exercise proper discipline when shooting.
Okay kiddies pay attention, I'll explain this one in terms that even your feeble skulls full of mush can understand;
Military and Police undergo an incredible amount of firearms training because they must respond to situations that they know nothing about. Police are tasked to make vehicle stops not knowing if the driver just robbed a bank or did a drive-by. Police are tasked to serve warrants on buildings housing people they already know are dangerous.
The private citizen on the other hand has no duty to perform any of these tasks. Pay attention here kiddies because there will be a quiz;
How much training do you think you need to determine that the thug/s standing there demanding your wallet, car keys, or vagina is not there to hold hands, eat a bowl of granola and sing Kumbyah with you?
Maybe some of you are to stupid to tell the difference, but the average person will know instantaneously that unless they do something they are will suffer severe bodily harm or death.
Now just because you think you need incredible amounts of training to know that your about to be raped or car jacked with your kids in the back seat it doesn't mean the rest of us do.
We want to see campus environments where staff, students and faculty act quickly to help troubled individuals when they encounter situations that could lead to violence. In many situations, obviously, we can't see the violent outbursts coming - but how would students and professors carrying weapons help?
I should think with all that money you are spending on that Big Red education that you would have at least learned what projection is. Come on kiddies it is Psyc 101 stuff. You know where you project your insecurities and short comings on to everyone else so you can feel better about yourself.
Why don't some of you ask any of the students or faculty that had concealed carry permits at Virginia Tech how they could have helped. If they had not OBEYED the law any number of them have stated that they could have stopped the murdering bastard before he wiped out 30 some people.
But you won't do that will you? No because you are afraid of the truth. Oh and it it wasn't widely reported in the mainstream media either because if students and faculty could stop tragedies like this they wouldn't have anything terrible to report.
And even if someone did have weapon nearby to try and stop the attacker, the worry comes back that that person wouldn't have the expertise and practice that we would see in a UNL police officer responding to the scene.
Quiz time:
How much training does a person need to know beyond a doubt that a maniac with a gun shooting people is not recruiting for the Home Coming bon fire?
Police responding to the scene?? I guess you weren't paying attention when the police response times were reported for all of those tragedies were you?
With a response time that crowds ten minutes on a good day how many more people will die in the next minute let alone the next 10?
What the editorial staff is saying is that they would rather see 30 of their fellow students murdered than for one of them or a faculty member to save lives.
Some of you level headed students at UNL think about this.
If a tragedy were to occur several of your friends would rather see you dead than for some one to save your life.
All you female students at UNL realize that many of your fellow students would rather see you raped, beaten and strangled with your own panty hose than for you to fight back with the proper tools or have someone rescue you with those same tools.
Is this in the Student Handbook?
Proper College etiquette for a rape or shooting;
Don't fight back. Don't even think about fighting back. Don't even wish you had a means to fight back. Just lay back and enjoy it or stand there and take the bullet knowing that the police may be on their way to recuse those that haven't yet been attacked.
If it isn't it should be because that is what the editorial staff is telling you.
It's understandable that some students and faculty would feel better carrying handguns - they would feel like they had the power to prevent a tragedy.
They wouldn't have that power.
Well Duh!!
No one has the power to prevent a tragedy, but someone with the proper tools can stop it from becoming even worse.
Laws that ban firearms from campus have killed more students and faculty than they have saved.
Why do you think these murdering bastards pick malls and schools?
Because they know there won't be anyone to shoot back at them for the better part of fifteen minutes. Your fish in a barrel and the more of you he/she shoots before they commit suicide the more fifteen minutes fame in death they will garner in the mainstream media.
They pick those places because they know they won't be stopped until they are ready to be stopped. Why is that so hard for someone in college to understand??

Am I smarter than the average Harvard Graduate?
I took this civics quiz and scored 70%,
You answered 42 out of 60 correctly — 70.00 %
but I am over 50 years old, have not attended formal education classes since the mid 80's and then it was not civics. It was statute, commercial, property and case law. Oh and I took a couple of computer tech classes at the time too.
If I remember correctly 70% is something like the lowest point considered to be a C-.
Considering that Freshman and Seniors of some of this countries most "prestigious" academic institutions took this test and;
NO COLLEGE EARNED BETTER THAN A “D+”
I'd say I did fairly well.
The highest Mean Senior Score of 69.56% was achieved by Harvard University by the way.
Don't get me wrong this post is not so much what this quiz says about me, as what it says about the quality and focus of an expensive college education.
According to the summary, 5 pages of major findings and 3 pages of additional findings posted on the Intercollegiate Studies Institute website by their National Civic Literacy Board, college seniors know astoundingly little about America’s history, political thought, market economy and international relations.
In fact the report points out that to a certain degree after four years of college Seniors were dumber than when they started.
In other words Obama voters. (Sorry I apologize, I couldn't help myself)
So much for that Ivy League Education.
TOP 10 THINGS STUDENTS “UNLEARNED” ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY
Although the average college senior outscored the average college freshman by 3.8 points overall on the American civic literacy exam, seniors were especially less likely than freshmen to correctly answer questions about major themes in American history.
That's not all folks, the National Civic Literacy Board survey tables also points out that;
The ISI's National Civic Literacy Board lists several more conclusions about the tested colleges if your in the mood for some statistical reading and have an hour or so of free time check it out.
If you are a student or parent of a student that is going to be heading off to the hallowed halls of higher learning in the next year or two, and cost is a factor, I would encourage you to take a hard look at some of the lower tuition schools that rank real high on this survey. It might be less money better spent.
Take the test - I double, no I triple dog dare you.
No you don't have to share your results, but you might learn something about yourself.
How can that a bad thing?

- More expensive schools like Yale (49), Duke (48), and Princeton (46) ranked in the bottom 10
- Less expensive schools like the University of Mississippi(10), Mississippi State University (6) and Eastern Connecticut University (1) ranked in the top 10
- Of schools that ranked in the top ten for Resident salaries, 6 scored in the bottom 10
- Of schools that ranked in the bottom ten for resident salaries, 3 scored in the top 10.
- Heavily subsidized schools like Yale (49), Duke (48) and Princeton (46) ranked in the bottom 10

Cranial Rectal Inversion
Any time I read an article that starts out;
Let's get this out of the way. I am a gun owner and a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment but....
I can almost recite word for word the rest story without even reading it.
So it goes with another one.
John E. Rosenthal's latest rant; Had enough Gun Violence? in The Christian Science Monitor is just such a piece. Rosenthal is the cofounder of Stop Handgun Violence.
When that organization wasn't getting anywhere he tried the classic divide and conquer technique;
He cofounded the American Hunters and Shooters Association. This worthless organization is nothing but an anti-gun wolf wrapped in sheep's clothing or a Trojan horse if you will.
I wrote about this bogus organization over a year ago. It was registered by the Democratic Leadership Council, an organization that is heavily influenced by Hillary Clinton.
In his diatribe Rosenthal errantly makes the statement that;
In the wake of a horrific campus shooting at Northern Illinois University, where 21 students were shot, we're reminded again that national gun laws must be strengthened.
Johnny, what part of Illinois has some of the most strict firearm acquisition and possession laws in the Country don't you understand? Far stricter than at the Federal level by the way. The Murdering Bastard that shot up NIU apparently had a psychological condition that was essentially below the radar the whole time. Even with all of the laws that f/emasculated metrosexuals want to pass would have not stopped him from legally purchasing the four firearms he used.
John then goes on to say;
Sadly, gun laws have only been weakened since the massacres at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. To be sure, these headline-grabbing mass shootings may not have been preventable.
Well Duh!!! If a single individual decides to murder as large a number of people of as possible in the shortest time possible he or she likely won't be bragging it up at social gatherings. Of course they can't be prevented. Take every gun from everyone the world over and they still will not be prevented.
If someone is bent on that kind of destruction lack of a firearm will not stop them. As has been shown in countless other cases they will resort to other means. Knives, ball bats, lead pipes and bombs.
Whoa now there is a thought.
If some miscreant murdering bastard can't get a gun he'll grab a bunch of stuff from under the kitchen sink and blow your ass to hell at the mall or university of your choice instead of maybe only wounding you with a bullet.
The Rest of the Story
Rosy goes on ad infinitum about how this or that is needed to prevent the tragedies all the while saying they can't be prevented.
By putting guns into the hands of terrorists, criminals, and the mentally ill, the policies the NRA helped create a society where defense by guns becomes mandatory.
First off no one is rushing out offering any of these types a firearm. A murdering bastard bent on this kind of destruction is not going to give up the quest simply because he can't purchase a firearm legally.
No John, they are not even preventable. They can however be minimized by one or some of those present that have had the fore thought to be prepared for an event like that.
The murdering bastard that shot up the Van Maur Mall stole his.
From the day the first European set foot on this Continent defense by gun has been mandatory. From the first day there were at least two people on this planet defense by a weapon of some sort became mandatory.
Note to Christians;
Even God doesn't blame the tool. He didn't ban rocks or what ever flint tool Cain used to slay Abel. He dealt with the person.
Any time a women is set upon by a rapist, a mugger accosts a jogger or a thug tries to hi-jack your motor car with your kids in it is a time in our society when defense by gun becomes mandatory.
The only way to stop the "gun becomes mandatory dilemma" is to identify these murdering thug bastards at birth and then perform radical surgery on their baby brains in such way as they will be compliant slaves for the rest of their lives.
Question:
How many times can a woman be violated by two rapists before the Police to respond?
The world is a dangerous place. It always has been. What you metrosexuals fail or are too cowardly to understand is that it is not the "Nanny State" that is responsible for you and your children's continued existence on this planet.
It is yours.
But no, too many of you are so gutless that you will stand around and watch your kids murdered without lifting a finger. But no, to many of you are so spineless you will watch your wife, mother or daughter be savagely raped without lifting a finger. But no, too many of you are so "let them have what they want" brainwashed you will simply watch some thug drive your children off to a certain death without lifting a finger.
Kind of lets the world know how much you really love them doesn't it.
You learned how to drive so you could get them to their soccer games. You learned a few things about first aid so you can bandage a skinned knee. You put smoke alarms in your house so you can get them out in case of fire. To bad you failed the most important test.
The one they count on you most for.
You failed to learn and practice the defensive measures necessary to protect them from rape, robbery and murder. And in failing to learn those things to protect your own children you have failed to teach them the same skills they need to survive on their own on a dangerous planet.
It may not be necessary for you or your children to ever have to use those skills, but you have failed your grandchildren as well.
Answer:
As many times as they want, because they probably weren't able to be called in the first place.
Let's get this out of the way. I am a gun owner and a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment but....
I can almost recite word for word the rest story without even reading it.
So it goes with another one.
John E. Rosenthal's latest rant; Had enough Gun Violence? in The Christian Science Monitor is just such a piece. Rosenthal is the cofounder of Stop Handgun Violence.
When that organization wasn't getting anywhere he tried the classic divide and conquer technique;
He cofounded the American Hunters and Shooters Association. This worthless organization is nothing but an anti-gun wolf wrapped in sheep's clothing or a Trojan horse if you will.
I wrote about this bogus organization over a year ago. It was registered by the Democratic Leadership Council, an organization that is heavily influenced by Hillary Clinton.
In his diatribe Rosenthal errantly makes the statement that;
In the wake of a horrific campus shooting at Northern Illinois University, where 21 students were shot, we're reminded again that national gun laws must be strengthened.
Johnny, what part of Illinois has some of the most strict firearm acquisition and possession laws in the Country don't you understand? Far stricter than at the Federal level by the way. The Murdering Bastard that shot up NIU apparently had a psychological condition that was essentially below the radar the whole time. Even with all of the laws that f/emasculated metrosexuals want to pass would have not stopped him from legally purchasing the four firearms he used.
John then goes on to say;
Sadly, gun laws have only been weakened since the massacres at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. To be sure, these headline-grabbing mass shootings may not have been preventable.
Well Duh!!! If a single individual decides to murder as large a number of people of as possible in the shortest time possible he or she likely won't be bragging it up at social gatherings. Of course they can't be prevented. Take every gun from everyone the world over and they still will not be prevented.
If someone is bent on that kind of destruction lack of a firearm will not stop them. As has been shown in countless other cases they will resort to other means. Knives, ball bats, lead pipes and bombs.
Whoa now there is a thought.
If some miscreant murdering bastard can't get a gun he'll grab a bunch of stuff from under the kitchen sink and blow your ass to hell at the mall or university of your choice instead of maybe only wounding you with a bullet.
The Rest of the Story
Rosy goes on ad infinitum about how this or that is needed to prevent the tragedies all the while saying they can't be prevented.
By putting guns into the hands of terrorists, criminals, and the mentally ill, the policies the NRA helped create a society where defense by guns becomes mandatory.
First off no one is rushing out offering any of these types a firearm. A murdering bastard bent on this kind of destruction is not going to give up the quest simply because he can't purchase a firearm legally.
No John, they are not even preventable. They can however be minimized by one or some of those present that have had the fore thought to be prepared for an event like that.
The murdering bastard that shot up the Van Maur Mall stole his.
From the day the first European set foot on this Continent defense by gun has been mandatory. From the first day there were at least two people on this planet defense by a weapon of some sort became mandatory.
Note to Christians;
Even God doesn't blame the tool. He didn't ban rocks or what ever flint tool Cain used to slay Abel. He dealt with the person.
Any time a women is set upon by a rapist, a mugger accosts a jogger or a thug tries to hi-jack your motor car with your kids in it is a time in our society when defense by gun becomes mandatory.
The only way to stop the "gun becomes mandatory dilemma" is to identify these murdering thug bastards at birth and then perform radical surgery on their baby brains in such way as they will be compliant slaves for the rest of their lives.
Question:
How many times can a woman be violated by two rapists before the Police to respond?
The world is a dangerous place. It always has been. What you metrosexuals fail or are too cowardly to understand is that it is not the "Nanny State" that is responsible for you and your children's continued existence on this planet.
It is yours.
But no, too many of you are so gutless that you will stand around and watch your kids murdered without lifting a finger. But no, to many of you are so spineless you will watch your wife, mother or daughter be savagely raped without lifting a finger. But no, too many of you are so "let them have what they want" brainwashed you will simply watch some thug drive your children off to a certain death without lifting a finger.
Kind of lets the world know how much you really love them doesn't it.
You learned how to drive so you could get them to their soccer games. You learned a few things about first aid so you can bandage a skinned knee. You put smoke alarms in your house so you can get them out in case of fire. To bad you failed the most important test.
The one they count on you most for.
You failed to learn and practice the defensive measures necessary to protect them from rape, robbery and murder. And in failing to learn those things to protect your own children you have failed to teach them the same skills they need to survive on their own on a dangerous planet.
It may not be necessary for you or your children to ever have to use those skills, but you have failed your grandchildren as well.
Answer:
As many times as they want, because they probably weren't able to be called in the first place.

About the Northern Illinois Tragedy
Like all the others that have come our way my heart is heavy for the loss.
There is nothing I can say that I haven't already said about all the other tragedies like this.
People wonder why. As if the answer will somehow prevent events like this from occurring again.
There is no amount of control or law that will prevent tragedies like this. None. If the deranged individual is so bent on mass murder lack of a particular tool will not be a hindrance for them to carry out their mission. As seen in so many other incidents the perpetrator will resort to other tools. Some more lethal, some less.
No, tragedies like this can not be stopped from ever beginning but many of them can, with individual awareness and preparation, most certainly be abated before the numbers of dead manifest themselves into double digits.
I morn your loss.

Nebraska CCW - Firearms Safety
If you own a firearm bookmark this site.
Nebraska CCW - Firearms Safety
Chris has finally become a Blog author. Welcome to the dark side Chris.
I have known this new Blogs author Chris Zeeb for several years and have even written about him in the past. For those that don't know Chris is a certified Glock Mechanic, Nebraska Concealed Carry Instructor and the architect of the "Rock Your Glock Competition".
The emphasis of his creation is explained in the title of his Blog, Nebraska CCW - Firearms Safety. There is no one I know in this area that is more qualified to pen missives on firearms safety than Chris.
Chris's Blog is solely dedicated to doing one of the things that I always wanted to get around to do more of here on this Blog. Yes, I have touched on it here and there in the past but never to the depth I wanted or hoped to that Chris will.
Hurray for Chris.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I genuinely mean that, Hurray for Chris. I am looking forward to reading his posts. I want to read his posts. Don't keep us waiting Chris as we will all benefit from it.
Chris has three posts up already; His introductory post, an intended topics list post and a trigger finger post.
One of the pleasures of having your own Blog is the freedom to address the content of other Blogs on your own instead of the comments section on the Blog/s in question.
So here goes.
In his first post Chris issues the following observation;
I've been shooting for ____ years, I know the safety rules you might say... Well it has been my experience that those who have the most years of experience, often tend to get the most complacent with regards to firearms safety rules. We can all benefit by taking the time to review and follow all of the firearms safety rules.
I have made this observation in the past and absolutely, positively agree 100% and plead guilty.
Here is what I had to say about it back in October of 2006;
One of the things that I have always imparted to my children is;
"Yea, when you get tired of the old man repeatedly telling you how to do this or do that you cop the "I know Dad I know attitude". I understand. When it comes to firearm safety however please don't ever get tired of hearing about it or cop an attitude. There is not one of us that could not benefit from an occasional reminder concerning safe firearms handling. When someone reminds you about something concerning firearms safety take it to heart and tell them thank you no matter how many times you have heard it."
If nothing else this has been one axiom that they have indulged the old Gunscribe in. In fact over the years they have prodded me with a reminder or two as well and yes I said thank you.
Yes I have been guilty and likely will be again. We all will. Thank you Chris for pointing it out again. I may get a little red faced at the time but I promise I will not get tired of, or offended at, hearing it.
The other thing I would like to touch on comes from Chris's post on Keep your Finger OFF the Trigger!!!;
Glock pistols have 3 internal safeties (more on these another time). Revolvers don't have safeties. However the best safety for any firearm is KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
I have over the years since the inception of Gaston Glock's pistol heard many, especially old time revolver shooters, express the notion that the Glock is unsafe because it does not have a safety device like the 1911, Browning Hi-Power etc...
As Chris points out the Glock does in fact have three safeties that he will discuss in future writings.
The one feature that the Glock has in common with any revolver that is not a single action is it goes bang when you pull the trigger.
How a person used to revolvers can claim that a Glock is any less safe than their favorite wheelgun is beyond me. To paraphrase Chris;
"If you keep your booger hook off the bang switch it ain't gonna go off".
Again I am looking forward to what Chris has to say and I hope the rest of you are as well.
Don't ever get tired of hearing about firearms safety, if someone needs correcting have the balls to correct them, you may save a life.
If you are the one being corrected it is okay to get red faced and pissed off about it, but you should be pissed off at yourself, not the person correcting you - they may have just saved your life or prevented you from negligently taking someone else's.
If you are the corrected one here is my advice to you;
"Suck it Princess" and say THANK YOU
Yes it is that serious. That is why Chris's Blog is so necessary.
Thank you Chris.

What is Nebraska Firepower?
Nebraska Firepower is the brainchild of Jay and Kim Hobscheidt. They have put together a website that deserves serious attention from any firearms owner in Nebraska.
Nebraska Firepower is dedicated to all firearms owners in Nebraska. While we strive to stay abreast of legal issues facing gun owners, we strongly believe that educating the general public is just as, if not more important, than going before lawmakers.....
Do you own Firearms?
The Nebraska Firepower website and forum is a growing concern already stocked with lots of good information for any firearms owners of any discipline. Your missing out if you don't check them out and become a part of what they are trying to accomplish.
They even have T-shirts available with the Logo, motto and website info on them if you like their concept and want to help support Jay and Kim's much needed efforts.
Inherit the Tradition
If you had someone take the time to teach you about firearms as a youngster or have children you will be instructing when they come of age I'll leave you with another quote from the website;
..... Whether in downtown Omaha or the outskirts of Valentine, we are here for the firearms owners of Nebraska, and we pledge to do everything in our power to insure our children will be able to enjoy the right to firearm ownership that too many of us have come to take for granted.

Call 911 and Die
Subtitle: Victim Disarmament Zone Kills Again and Again and ....
Yea you have heard it before, but it just won't sink past that anti self defense fire wall from the Brady Bunch Software Company your pathetic cranial hard drives have downloaded.
Reality Check
Remember that shooting at Lane Bryant in Tinley Park, Illinois a few weeks ago?
Guess what!
Store manager Rhoda McFarland, made the 911 call from the back room Feb. 2 after she and the other five women were bound with duct tape, one source said.
The Murdering Bastard heard the call being made and instead of running away with pee running down his leg smelling like fresh poop like you liberal Metrosexuals tell everyone is going to happen, he shot the women in the head killing 5 and wounding one.
I can hear you now
"Oh wait that is not suppose to happen, they did everything the Million Commie Mommies told them they were suppose to do. They did not resist and they called Government sponsored Dial-a Prayer just like they had been brain-washed to do by head Commie Mommie in charge Sarah Brady."
Well there my f/emasculated Metrosexual brain dead low life liberal friends, I hope your happy, cause your ideals have just killed 5 more decent people. How many has your anti-gun, anti-self defense, anti-fight back mantra murdered in the last year?
Hmmmm .... let's see ... there was 30 some in Virginia .. and ahh what nearly a dozen in Nebraska just for starters.
I hope you namby-pamby chicken shit low life scumbags are happy.
Go ahead hold hands and dance in their blood calling for more gun control... you do it every time, and every time you are proved wrong. The problem is you are either to stupid or too thoroughly brain-washed to see it.
It is all but illegal to own any kind of firearm in the Chicago area and the "nobody needs a gun kumbya" runs deep in Obama Country, so the victims were totally defenseless. (Just the way you want them to be) That is why they were duct taped face down on the floor with panties over their head.
It really is too bad that you stupid asses can't wake up, because until you do your filthy excrement is just going to keep on killing innocent people.
You got the blood of 6 more in Tinley Park, Illinois to dance in. I know it's only a fifth of what you had after Virginia, and only half of what you had after Nebraska but maybe you'll get lucky in 2008. The year is young yet.
I know your hoping.
(hat tip to Deb for this one)
One last note:
I bet you are really pissed off that a private citizen in Colorado cut that count short aren't you?. Heaven knows how some of you must have wished for a tally larger than Virginia. And to further rain on your lust for blood boot, scoot and boogie it was a woman with a concealed carry permit that stopped the Murdering Bastard too.
Ohhhh that had to hurt. I can hear the brain cells sizzling all across the internet.
