Look At All These Guns
People Got for Christmas

Atlantic, by Rebecca Greenfield

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 12/26/2012 9:20:57 AM

That increase in gun sales following the Newtown shooting might have had a little bit to do with Christmas season, as a lot of people are flaunting their new firearms on social media today, a trend first-noticed by The Verge´s T.C. Sottek. As the AR-15 is a popular rifle of choice these days both for consumers and murderers, we decided to take a look at all the brand-new owners of that make of semi-automatic. Some have suggested the increase in sales had to do with fears that gun control will soon take these off the shelves. Or maybe

Chuckie Schumer, Liz Warren Bill Maher, Mikey Moore will be having a canary.

BTW, lets hear it for the NY newspaper that published the list of the folks that published the names of gun permit holders.

Now which house do you think the burglar is going to break into, the house where he can be shot or the house where he will not be shot?

Lets hera for the minds of liberals...

The "Progressives" get it wrong on every issue, every time.

They provide an inverse weather vain.

If I had to try to defend their ignorant positions I´d be angry too.

I was pleasantly surprised when I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday, and she replied "a revolver of my own". I guess the idea of never having to feel helpless again (she was robbed at gunpoint in Mexico) has its appeal.

Must have been a fake gun, they have VERY strict gun control in Mexico. Speaking of which, we should treat the Mexican illegals just as pleasantly as they treated our Marine who was just released from Mexican prison on a trumped up gun charge.

This journalist(?) could have spared us her text and just written EEEEOOOWWW! GROSS! to accompany the photos that apparently make her skin crawl. They also annoy her mightily. People are actually FLAUNTING their new weapons, right in her scandalized self-righteous face! How dare they do it? Just wait and see if they are smiling and insulting her and other anti-gun cranks next Christmas! People like Ms. Greenfield have plans for them and the rest of us.

FT: "And there´s more of this kind of flaunting to be found on Twitter and elsewhere on Instagram. Gun control didn´t stop these people from getting what they want for Christmas—at least not this year."

Yep, and Rebecca´s got to deal with it. Only problem I see is that a couple of them have fingers on the trigger; need to work on discipline.

The underlying message is that citizens will not be able to purchase and receive semi-automatic weapons with a magazine capacity of greater than ten rounds by next Christmas. This is also a run up to outright confiscation of such weapons. It would not be surprising if less than 20 percent of the gun owners would actively resist confiscation.

You want to encourage purchasing? Just make people think something will no longer be available.

Twinkie purchases soared in the final weeks.

No guns for me for Christmas, sadly. Thankx to jug ears´ economy, we had to cut way back this year.
The grandkids got toy guns though. Must start training them early, and offsetting the disinformation they get in the Czar´s schools.

Any bets on whether or not The Atlantic´s offices have armed security?

#8, if only 20% of gun owners resist, they´d wipe out the gun-grabber´s thugs - and all the remaining libtards. Around 30 million hunters in this country - not nearly enough libtard thugs to beat them. And when you throw in all the vets in the population that aren´t hunters, the numbers really go against the libtards. That why they realize they have to win through the lies and trickery of their propaganda because they can´t win through overt violence; though they may finally crack and try it

One thing most new gun owners forget to purchase is a good safe in which to keep their new AR-15, etc.

You can´t carry an AR-15 concealed and if it´s not in a safe when you´re away, the bad guys break in, steal it and now it´s on the street.

Or....there´s a fire. A tornado. A hurricane. You name the disaster. Then your new AR-15 ends up rusted and filled with all matter of debris.

Get a good gun safe. Bolt it to the floor. Keep your guns in the safe when you´re not home. Enjoy them for a lifetime and pass them down to your kids and/or grand kids.

Happy shooting!

Oh, thank goodness! I see more and more American citizens getting schooled and learning what tyranny means and what it could bring. Gotta love the spirit of freedom and liberty!

RALEIGH, N.C. — Backed by throngs of chanting supporters, dozens of liberal demonstrators are subjecting themselves to arrest each Monday at the state legislature here to protest a flurry of bills that could transform North Carolina into a model of conservative governance. The state’s hard turn to the right comes less than five years after people took to the streets here to celebrate the 2008 victory of Barack Obama, the first Democratic presidential candidate to capture the state since Jimmy Carter in 1976. The win prompted Obama’s supporters to crow about the growing influence of progressive

BEIRUT — The leader of the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah on Saturday defiantly defended sending his fighters to support President Bashar al-Assad’s army in neighboring Syria and proclaimed that they would be victorious. Hasan Nasrallah’s televised address provided the clearest public acknowledgment to date that his men are fighting alongside Assad’s troops and will continue to do so. As he spoke, Hezbollah and government forces were escalating an assault on the strategically important Syrian town of Qusair. A staunch ally of Iran as well as Assad, Hezbollah has deepened its involvement in Syria’s two-year-old civil war in recent weeks

   

 

  


 
Perry’s first veto strikes down

UPDATE: Perry responds to SB 346 veto: “Freedom of association and freedom of speech are two of our most important rights enshrined in the Constitution. My fear is that SB 346 would have a chilling effect on both of those rights in our democratic political process. While regulation is necessary in the administration of Texas political finance laws, no regulation is tolerable that puts anyone’s participation at risk or that can be used by any government, organization or individual to intimidate those who choose to participate in our process through financial means.

The latest reporting in the matter of Fox News Channel’s James Rosen indicates the Obama administration fought to keep the search warrant for Rosen’s private email account secret, arguing that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. Thank you, Ryan Lizza. And one more thing. Despite Eric Holder’s his protestations of ignorance regarding the Rosen matter, NBC reports that Holder himself authorized the warrant application. Hmmm. Does that mean he might not have been entirely forthcoming about the matter in his testimony

WASHINGTON — Haynes Johnson, a pioneering Washington journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the civil rights movement and migrated from newspapers to television, books and teaching, died Friday. He was 81. The Washington Post reported he died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md. In a statement to the Post newsroom, Managing Editor Kevin Merida said Johnson died of a heart attack. Johnson was awarded a Pulitzer in 1966 for national reporting on the civil rights struggle in Selma, Ala., while with The Evening Star in Washington. He spent

The FBI has arrested a San Antonio man on charges he lied to get into the United States and tried to get a sensitive Defense Department position. Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday. “He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed

A FREE press in a democracy demands a delicate balance. The First Amendment means the media must have the right to inquire without hindrance. The government has a legitimate interest in keeping some national security information secret. When these come into conflict, the balance often has been struck this way: The media are free to pursue secrets, but it is up to those in government to keep them. When the media come into possession of information that, if disclosed, could be damaging, the government can plead the case for secrecy — and the media generally are open to persuasion.

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have reversed their longstanding membership guidelines to allow homosexuals to join the organization. In an email to CNSNews.com, the BSA public affairs office said the vote on the resolution to “remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone” was passed with 61.44 percent in favor and 38.56 percent opposed. “For 103 years, the Boy Scouts of America has been a part of the fabric of this nation, with a focus on working together to deliver the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training,”

Abuse Of Power: Any scandal investigation that expects a "Eureka!" moment, a White House e-mail, or Oval Office smoking gun will be misguided. In fact, the dots are already connected directly to the president. Barack Obama is not foolish enough to have a tape recording system hidden in his desk. And his administration staff are not careless enough to send one another incriminating e-mails. If the president was behind the IRS unlawfully harassing conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, we can be sure the communications were all sotto voce and in persona, like any good Chicago political operator.

A Washington state Democrat is accusing Republicans of “throwing American infrastructure … under the bus” after a bridge collapse there this week. The portion of Interstate 5 in Washington that runs over the Skagit River collapsed on Thursday after a truck hit an overhead support structure, but Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) cited the incident in an interview as proof Republicans were blocking infrastructure investment to hurt President Obama politically. “Well, they have clearly spent the whole last five years trying to tear the president down, but they have done it by throwing the American infrastructure and
