Ok, where are you all? Don’t any of you have anything to contribute? Come on, let’s hear from you. Today we would like everyone to post a simple “I’m here” if you read the blog. We would like to know how many of you are actually tuning in each day.
Yesterday we all went to lunch with our friends which was nice. The rest of the day was spent cleaning up a bit, addressing lots of emails and trying to get the misses some rest. It’s hard to believe it’s almost August 1st. Soon it’ll be fall.
Today we have the “I’m here to inflame any tragedy to promote myself” Jesse Jackson coming to town to hold a gun control protest. I can’t stand these guys. They rush around the country whenever there’s some tragedy they can exploit to keep their irrelevant personalities in the limelight. A few months ago they (guys like Jackson and Al Sharpton) rushed to Florida to try to ignite a racial divide over the Travyon Martin shooting and now he comes here to exploit this tragedy. First off, everyone talks about the shooters “high capacity magazines”. Well these don’t work very well and the news doesn’t tell you this guys “magazine” jammed after  a few shots and was worthless. I don’t care about 100 round magazines, none of us that pursue shooting sports as a hobby do as they are not practical and just don’t work, plus they’re too heavy if loaded up. On the other hand, any experienced shooter can change magazines and shoot as fast or faster than someone with one of those anyhow. Know what you’re talking about before you get up on tv and start running your mouth. But noooo, the tv stations are just looking to inflame these events also to get ratings. Violence and tragedy sells, showing a nice story about somebody doing something good doesn’t get any ratings now does it. Now we have Mayor Bloomberg suggesting that police here go on strike until they get more gun control. What he apparently doesn’t know is that police support law abiding citizens having concealed weapons. Soon after his lawyer must have reminded him that it’s illegal for police to strike and had to say “well I didn’t really mean for them to really go on strike”, what an idiot. Chris Christy, Governor of New Jersey said “let the police in New York go on strike and see how that works out for him”.
It’s no coincidence that Chicago has the highest murder rate in the country and the most restrictive gun laws while places like rural states and cities where citizens have the right to own and carry firearms have the lowest murder rate. It’s that simple. Once again we have one incident that everyone who doesn’t like guns is trying to use to paint all gun owners as wackos. There’s a reason our founders wrote the Second Amendment, if you don’t understand it, I suggest you read the constitution.
And oh by the way, all that guys like Jackson and Bloomberg are doing is increasing gun sales as law abiding citizens are afraid of not being able to exercise their rights under the constitution so they’re going out and buying guns now!
Ok, that’s it for today. Once I get some new comments from you all I’ll have something new to write about. Until then, I guess I’ll just keep writing about the news of the day.
God Bless
