CowboyDan said...: It's telling that the press releases say "studies released..." and have no numbers, no polling instrument, etc.

Pretty much what one would expect from Bloomie, or anyone else who wants to propagandize rather than inform.

I think thir numbers are way off. I'd want to see the above information and the randomization figures o be able to take it as an honest survey.

Oh well. I guess he got heat he paid for.; March 28, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Anonymous said...: I especially enjoyed the part where he said that some states have no background checks at all, wording it in an intentionally deceptive way to make it seem that you don't have to go through a background check when buying from an FFL.

He also linked a website where you can conduct "online sales" but fails to mention you can only mail firearms to an FFL, and unless you are an FFL yourself, that requires a background check when you pick it up. None of those "scary" rifles he mentioned seem to be full-auto anyway, so I don't know what this hack is talking about.

I can't tell if this guy is just that fucking stupid or just a flagrant liar. He's a "journalist," so probably a bit of both.; March 28, 2013 at 2:01 PM
Anonymous said...: He's flagrant liar.

"Lickspittle" that's one of Mike's words. I'd like to ask Mr. Journalist if he's willing to come and take my firearms and that of my children's birthright to own them from me personally. Don't send others in your place, man up and do it yourself. If he is willing, I won't use mine to resist him. I don't need to hide behind guns, nor do I want any problems however if they come knocking, I'll knuckle up with him and others like him anytime.

Punk ass, is what that guy is. These people are going to learn fast that not every gun owner is white, gray haired, out of shape or some backwoods redneck.

All I say to these cats is: If you're feeling froggy...

I guess that's one more name for the day when accounts get settled!; March 28, 2013 at 4:47 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
