Cats, Guns, and National Security

My Facebook comment : "Please, folks, accept the truth of this when I say that "freedom" is freedom's worst enemy. Those disrupters used "freedom" to shut down someone else's freedom. If we saw our liberties from the perspective of their intended function, we could readily shut down Leftist actions like this by whatever means are necessary. But "freedom" means they can pull them off." The ultimate reality and failure of libertarianism is that freedom in terms of substance doesn't exist without law and authority to enforce it. For instance, if we lived in a truly libertarian society, and the local libertarian radio jock says something I don't like, I would simply go down to the station and kill him. Oh, he and others may try to fight me, but if I'm clever enough and maybe have some support, I very well might win. And the host is silenced, and people are scared to ever say whatever drivel it was he uttered. It's only because...

Our guy  might be at least marginally useful with a .308 battle rifle in a set position (his fave position, obviously) in a little private  citadel . Just sayin'.

Here's the story: No one seriously involved in the modern Second Amendment movement in America has not heard the yells and screams of many self-inflating gun nuts--and I count myself a gun nut, so that part's not an insult--when someone supposedly confuses "magazine" and "clip" in terms of gun specs. The action seems to have started in 1990s or early 2000s. Before that, a great deal of overlap occurred in common gun community usage. Indeed, in the original 1909 Army specifications for a new automatic pistol--the program that led to the M1911 .45--"clip" was indeed used for what these folks would insist is a magazine--and only a magazine. Ultimately, this action stems from the fact that gun specs are probably the ONLY area where conservative-types are actually superior to liberal-types in terms of pure academics. In essentially every other area of discussion, liberals will tend to know more, as they are more willing to actually STUDY, and they take ...

Article includes statements by the persecutors--ur, prosecutors--but I will generally not be referencing that enemy propaganda here. Also includes discussions of some protesters' genuinely violative acts. Patriots want the legitimately guilty, even those one could say were on "our side," punished. This includes a case of off-duty police officers violating the law, which is a different animal altogether, given their initiated status and supposedly superior knowledge. When President Trump is returned to power, this judge should be given special consideration for positions in whatever reformed judiciary will be retained--so long as he holds this good line, that is.

Actual advertisement from 1904: Even Guns.com has issues with this: Yup.  You can stare at it all day and it’s still a little girl in her jammies twirling her dad’s Safety Hammerless; .32 S&W was popular at the time.  “Absolutely safe!” “Papa says it won’t hurt us.”  Because an accidental discharge, you see, is impossible.  Of course, what’s meant by accidental is that it won’t shoot unless you pull down a trigger, and a little girl isn’t strong enough to do that.  Nobody believes that sort of thing now, underestimating kids is like a bullet train to finding peanut butter inside every single electronic device you own because the DVD player looked hungry and so did his friends. The truth, as distasteful as it may be, is that indeed people have gotten smarter about such things in recent decades. As the Guns.com article put it: Ultimately this sort of ad today would be inexcusable.  And not because of lawyers, but because  that’s a girl in her jammie...
