The Gauss GP-219 is an electromagnetic pistol that boasts a “PIC microcontroller, dual coils with “precision pulsing” to fire steel projectiles, twin infrared sensors to assist in positioning, and even a laser sight to keep your enemies pegged.”

This picture makes the essential point FOR concealed carry.

The bad guys have no clue who is or who is not packing heat.

If they guess wrong, they could be over matched and wind up dead, crippled, or arrested. It also creates a “bystander problem” for them. If they are assaulting someone, one has to be foolish to try and intervene. But when the bystander is carry concealed, they can bring an overwhelming amount of force to the situation from an unexpected direction. So now the bad guy not only has to worry about the victim presenting, but he also has to worry that a passer by might not just pass by. Worst case, the bad guy could wind up dead.

Certainly, we know that the police aren’t everywhere and can’t get somewhere fast enough. If they intervene, it’s by luck. But, there are always witnesses. And, if someone is carrying concealed, they have invested time, money, and effort in their skill. They have a self-image. And, I want them to feel free to help me.

We will need to retrain the police and gubamint that the citizens are the masters!

Right to bear arms applies to militias only, city tells court
By Matt Apuzzo
ASSOCIATED PRESS
December 8, 2006

*** begin quote ***

In a case that could shape firearms laws nationwide, attorneys for the District argued yesterday that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms applies only to militias, not individuals.

The city defended as constitutional its long-standing ban on handguns, a law that some gun opponents have advocated elsewhere. Civil liberties groups and pro-gun organizations say the ban in unconstitutional.

The Second Amendment have NEVER been interpreted to mean anything but an individual right!

The dead old white guys must be rolling over at the stupidity of the serf in the new Amerika!

VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: Giving way to the twenty-something spendthrifts

***Begin Quote***

You cannot bestow upon your children or grandchildren a world without guns. Your two choices are: a world in which they are trusted and encouraged to own guns and keep them ready to hand and know how and when to use them, or a world in which they are disarmed and the guns are in the hands of some other class or race of people who tell them what to do.

You have to like how he can distill it to a simple principle. There’s a big difference between the Law of Gravity and any law passed by tyrants.

NJ DEP chief: There will be no bear hunt
– Daily Record (NJ)

***Begin Quote***

New Jersey’s top environmental official late Wednesday scotched this year’s bear hunt, and hinted that none would be staged in the future, saying non lethal ways to keep peace between humans and bears need to be tried. Jackson’s move comes some two weeks after Gov. Jon S. Corzine said he wanted to explore non lethal ways to deal with the state’s growing bear population.

***End Quote***

You have to admire today’s liberals, who don’t live in the real world. They are going to spend a lot of money, stolen from NJ taxpayers, to convince the bears not to procreate. You have to love when some one plays poker with your chips.

Which politicians goes to jail when, not if, someone gets hurt by a bear?

Letter to Reason magazine
Ms. Postrel:

Nadine Strossen’s rationale for the ACLU’s abandonment of the right to keep and bear arms is: “What it [the pro-gun position] comes down to is the very strong belief that having a gun in your home is something that can ultimately fend off the power of a tyrannical government. I find that really unpersuasive in the 20th-century context. Maybe it made sense in the 18th century.”

Recent history offers numerous examples of lightly-armed men able to inflict grievous damage on vastly superior forces. Afghanistan’s mujahadeen, initially equipped with archaic Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifles, stalled the Soviet Red Army for many years before receiving the advanced weapons from the West that finally tipped the balance of power in their favor. Chad’s desert fighters managed to repel Moammar Gadhafi’s tanks by the insanely brave expedient of shooting-up enemy supply convoys, mounting Libyan anti-armor weapons thus captured on their Toyota pickup trucks, and then charging the invaders in packs. In the former Yugoslavia, 5,000 Croat defenders carrying hunting rifles and Kalashnikovs were able to protect the city of Vukovar against 25,000 army troops and Chetnik irregulars backed by Soviet T-84 tanks and heavy artillery for eighty-nine days before they depleted their ammunition supplies and were overrun.

This is a great post.

Don’t forget: Gandhi’s defiance of the British in India after WW2, the ’44 Warsw Ghetto Uprising, and the ’56 Hungarian Revolution.

Against a tyrannical American government, there would be some “interesting” resistance.

First, you have to figure that the Bloods and Crypts would want to continue their current drug business. Since they haven’t been impacted by current methods, one would reasonably assume that they wouldn’t be impacted by future efforts. Given that they corrupt the cops, one would expect it to continue. These gangs would mount a very good light infantry, which in their own neighborhoods, would be impossible to root out. Especially since they, like all Fourth Generation forces, would blend in with the populace, and emerge to fight that asymmetrical war.

Second, the Gubamint runs on money. If it becomes too tyrannical, then the economy will grind to a halt. As the tax rate rises, and the inflation rate rises, they will “net” less and less value. Running a fascist state requires an economy. The leaders, and politicians, will want to be kept in the appropriate style befitting their “regal” position. It’s hard to be a King, if the subjects don’t pay or work. All we need is for the people to decide that it’s a good idea to work a little less, use a metal based “medallion”, do some bartering, grow a “victory garden”, and do other “muck up the works” activities. And there will be a lot of hungry politicians!

Third, the Ross book “Unintended Consequences” demonstrates how the ruling class can be brought to its collective knees. In the book, people just start killing bureaucrats and politicians. Like the internet, it would be possible to have leader-less bloody revolution. Pick out a government worker and kill them! It wouldn’t take long for the word to spread among the government workers that if you value your life, find a new line of work. That’s Fourth Generation warfare at its heart. I think to some extent that is what we are seeing in Iraq.

It really depends on the consent of the governed. If we don’t consent, they CAN NOT govern!

I read a stat that said about 130 of the 300 million Americans own a firearm. That’s roughly one in three. It could get real messy very quickly if a consensus emerged.

Look at what happened in NOLA when the good people left. But, they don’t have to actually LEAVE. They can just look the other way for the same effect.

Remember the dead old white guys on what the tree of liberty needs?

MIKE TO GUN-PERMIT HOLDERS: ‘PACK’ IT IN
By KENNETH LOVETT

***Begin Quote***

November 1, 2006 — ALBANY – The city should slash the number of people who are allowed to carry concealed weapons, Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday.

“We’ve taken a look at it to see whether we couldn’t have fewer,” Bloomberg said. “I can tell you one thing: We will keep it to as a minimum as we possibly can.”

Bloomberg added that he has asked Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to tackle the issue.

“If you want a gun permit, you should have to really show that your life is in danger, and that having a gun will protect you, will improve the chances of you surviving,” the mayor said.

***End Quote***

This is really entertaining!

Never mind that the Second Amendment enshrines EVERY person’s Intelligent Designer given RIGHT to self-defense.

Mike travels the NYC Subway accompanied by his SECURITY DETAIL. Not just one guy with a gun, but lots of guys with guns.

Unlike the law of gravity, political “laws” only impact the law abiding.

I like to envision the poor “cleaning woman”, who has to travel home at night, riding the subway without HER security detail. Personally, I’d trust her to be PACKING.

I like the old bumper sticker “God made men and women; Sam Colt makes them equal!”.

My aunt was mugged in the subway during rush hour. Her life was never the same after that. Forty years of disability was the result.

I see the wisdom of the dead old white guys.

I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.

Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead! Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead! Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!

Nah, Mayor Mike, you’re living in fantasy land! The bad guys have all the guns they want. All you’re doing is making more victims. Stop the drug war. Arm the citizens.

And, you’ll see violence come to a screeching halt. You’ll run out of bad guys. Or their get “religion”, and find a new line of work. For those criminals, maybe they’ll go into politics.

Oh that’s it, you don’t want the competition!

Incompetence — Oops, Have You Seen My Machine Gun?

***Begin Quote***

Well anyway, here’s some more government incompetence for you:

****** which quoted ******

The Pentagon cannot account for 14,030 weapons — almost 4 percent of the semiautomatic pistols, assault rifles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and other weapons it began supplying to Iraq since the end of 2003.

The missing weapons will not be tracked easily: The Defense Department registered the serial numbers of only about 10,000 of the 370,251 weapons it provided — less than 3 percent.

Missing from the Defense Department’s inventory books were 13,180 semiautomatic pistols, 751 assault rifles and 99 machine guns.

****** which ended here ******

Hmmm. But it says some were stolen. They just won’t tell us how many. It’s comforting knowing our government has lost some unspecified number of RPGs. Yeah, losing the other stuff is bad, but you don’t want a bunch of RPGs floating around. Hopefully they didn’t lose any shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles like we’ve done in the past in Central America and Afghanistan. I don’t think the insurgency has much in the way of aircraft, so hopefully we didn’t bring over stinger missiles for the Iraqi defense forces, but given how incompetent our government is and how much some suppliers could make off a deal like that (and give kickbacks in return), I would not be surprised. That would REALLY be making Americans safer.

***End Quote***

What a bunch of bozos! First we had the story of “bricks” ( 100k$ clear plastic shrink wrapped USA currency). And, now they lost enough guns to arm … a small army … or an insurgency!

I’ve changed my mind. “Gun control” no longer exclusively means “citizens hitting what they aim at”. I’ll now include “keeping an inventory of the gubamint’s ordanance”.

So, if someone asks if you favor “gun control”, then you can say “sure, for the gubamint”. Gun owners don’t lose their weapons.

The PA State Police are refusing to obey the law, despite court decisions to the contrary.

***Begin Quote***

Federal privacy laws prohibit the mandatory use of social security numbers as identification. In a recent court decision, U.S. District Judge Juan R. Sanchez stated that gun owners cannot be required to supply social security numbers when buying a gun or applying for a concealed carry permit.

But the PA State Police, with the help of the Attorney General Tom Corbett (R), are disregarding the court and are asking a circuit court judge to strike down Sanchez’ order. They don’t want to issue privacy warnings, as required by Section 7(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974; they want to keep collecting the social security numbers of all gun buyers and carry permit holders.

***End Quote***

The only reason the gubamint wants “gun registration” is so they know who to arrest when the crackdown comes.

Look at pre-WW2 Germany as the model.

***Begin Quote***

Okay, let’s pretend that’s true (historical evidence to the contrary). In the early 1930’s, in response to a recent crime wave, the right-of-center Weimar Republic passed several “vital, necessary” laws registering firearms and prohibiting Gypsies from owning them. Five years later, a left-of-center leader was in power and used those same laws, amending them as needed, to consolidate his power. The result was World War II and the murder of millions of what the US might today refer to as “unlawful enemy combatants.”

Forewarned is forearmed.

The gubamint MUST be made to obey it’s own laws. Else all hope is lost.

And, we put up with tyrants, dictators, and other bad guys why?

One would think that the dead old white guy’s ideas about marque and retort could be applied usefully today. It would seem that bad people could be returned to the Intelligent Designer as sort of a warranty claim. Not that we, or our government, would do it. We’d just pay off like a reward.
