Those who hate and fear guns, wanting to disarm everyone, seem to ignore the fact that most people who own and use guns are seriously committed to the basic safety rules outlined below. All of these, and more, are diligently taught in every sort of firearms training and reinforced through peer pressure in every situation where responsible gun owners meet.

Even though no clear statistics are available to point to, it would appear that the greatest number of “accidental” discharges of a gun occur at the hands of Police and a few others who violate these basic rules.  In both cases it is a matter of negligence, arrogance and stupidity, not lack of information. With something like 100 million gun owners, and possibly 400 million guns in circulation, the vanishingly small number of such “accidents” is further proof that gun owners in general do care very much about safety.

FK – Not bad but I kinda prefer mine.

After more than 30 years of fearmongering that drug lords are going to take over all our cities and suburbs, does anybody actually buy that argument anymore? And, of course, we’re not even talking about high-crime communities. Even though they’re 15 miles apart, Ferguson, Missouri, is not at all like crime-riddled East St. Louis, Illinois.

We should expect these kinds of arguments to attempt to distract us from the real issue of overarming police departments and overusing SWAT teams. In Los Angeles, in the midst of consideration of whether to press charges against a highway patrol officer who beat up a woman on the side of the freeway and an agreement to a $5 million settlement to the family of a man killed by the Los Angeles Police Department following a high-speed chase, the LAPD credits a BearCat for protecting police as they dealt with a violent shootout earlier in the week.

FK – I personally don’t care if they have a bazooka in their trunk as long as they are forced to acknowledge my right to have one in mine. What I care about is what’s in their hearts and minds. If the Bill of Rights isn’t first and foremost in both and they don’t know their first duty is to protect the Bill of Rights, for the U.S. Constitution and their own state’s constitution then we have a severe problem. We must get control of how these Jr. Nazis are educated.

On the Friday broadcast of “The McLaughlin Group,” columnist Pat Buchanan predicted that President Obama would grant amnesty to illegal immigrants via executive order by Labor Day and that such an action would “set the country completely on fire.”

FK – I’ve been waiting for the ‘fire’ to start for 15 years, after I figured out most would never wake up enough to solve this politically.

Addressing media hypocrisy and the racial aspect of the story — Chief Burbank identifies the officer only as “non-white” but media outlets such as WND and Gateway Pundit are reporting he is black — American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson writes:

A brutal natural experiment is underway demonstrating the role of race, riots, and radicals in determining whose death is noted, and whose ignored in racialized America when unarmed young men are shot and killed by police. While American and world media, along with the President and Attorney General of the United States, obsess over the death of Michael Brown at the hands of the Ferguson, Missouri police, few people outside of Utah have heard of the remarkably parallel and contemporaneous death of Dillon Taylor.

FK – It’s all about the commies stirring up their constituents and maintaining the same ignorant mindset that keeps them in power.

DOJ, Communists, New Black Panthers Hijack Ferguson Protests

FK – More candidates for the granite gallows.
