My Thoughts on a Dirt-bag Terrorist

I send out my thoughts, prayers, and condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the victims themselves, who were the targets of the cold blooded attack by the dirt-bag terrorist in Tucson two and a half weeks ago. I won't use the name of the dirt-bag because I believe he has less dignity than a bag of dirt. A bag of dirt is never a cold blooded murderer. A bag of dirt would not be a terrorist. If the dirt-bag terrorist had as much dignity as a bag of dirt I would list the name his parents gave him, but he does not, so on this blog he will be known only as a dirt-bag.

As an Arizona resident, I have had a unique perspective as I have watched the media coverage unfold. The misinformation from the left that has been fed to us over the last two and a half weeks has been unbelievable even if not unexpected. Since the very first day of the attack, I believe the Lamestream media has managed to find and interview nearly every anti-gun cockroach in our entire Country, most of them spewing incoherent babble. In Tucson Sheriff Dupnik immediately blamed organizations and entire groups of people for the actions of the dirt-bag terrorist without even a hint of evidence to back up his words. Out of California, McCarthy, already famous for her description of a barrel shroud as a shoulder thing that goes up, proposed new legislation that would make it illegal to sell magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Out of Long Island, we have Peter King proposing a thousand foot magical bubble that would surround all special people that Peter believes have more value than the rest of us, and the list of cockroaches crawling out of the woodwork just keeps growing as the days go by.


If we can all just step back one moment and take a rational look at the issues being discussed, perhaps I can offer some perspective. How can any new law make illegal actions more illegal than they already are? How can we prevent mad men from doing mad things? You can't stop crazy people from doing crazy things by making up crazy new laws. It's preposterous. There is no possible way to prevent acts of terrorism by determined dirt-bags. Any new restrictions on guns would only restrict the law abiding, just as the current laws that prohibit illegal drugs are ignored by the drug cartels that are running the multi trillion dollar drug market. We can't predict who will be the next terrorist dirt-bag, but we can prepare via training and preparation so that if the next terrorist pops up to attack innocent lives while one of us is nearby we can respond by defending ourselves, stopping the terrorist quickly with some well placed return fire. We just have to be prepared and aware of our surroundings.

As Ronald Reagan said:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
May we all continue to fight to maintain ALL of our Freedoms! May God Continue to Bless & Watch Over our Great Nation!

Bad news for California

This year Californians find themselves subject to 725 brand new laws, such as one law that could land parents in jail for not having an "approved" excuse for enough missed school days, and another law that makes it illegal to build a building that isn't "energy efficient" enough to make Al Gore smile.

To make matters worse for my friends in California, I recently met an anti-gun Progressive Liberal who is planning to move from Arizona to California because he feels there are not enough restrictions on our rights here in Arizona. He told me that while he "supports the 2nd Amendment" he doesn't feel anyone should actually be "allowed" to bear arms. When I asked him what part of bear arms he fails to understand when he claims to support the Second Amendment, he gave me a deer in the headlights look. Probably the same look he'll have if he is ever unlucky enough to get mugged in his currently unarmed defenseless state.

All I can say is good riddance, but to my friends in California I do send my condolences for yet another anti-freedom Progressive that will be heading your way.

AZ Campus Carry HB 2014

Representative Harper has filed Campus Carry HB 2014 for the 2011 Arizona Legislative Session.

Below is the key text of HB 2014:
NOTWITHSTANDING SUBSECTION D OF THIS SECTION, THE GOVERNING BOARD OF ANY UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SHALL NOT ENACT OR ENFORCE ANY POLICY OR RULE THAT PROHIBITS THE POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED WEAPON BY A PERSON WHO POSSESSES A VALID PERMIT RECOGNIZED OR ISSUED PURSUANT TO SECTION 13-3112 OR THE TRANSPORTATION OR STORAGE OF A FIREARM PURSUANT TO SECTION 12‑781.
Optimally I'd rather not have the CCW permit requirement, but that provision may be required to get the bill passed. You could think of this as a football game that we're winning, and we're trying for another 1st down as we fight towards the ultimate goal of fully restoring our freedoms.

Be sure to contact your representatives to ask for their support. It is high time we eliminate the existing defenseless victim zones at Arizona Colleges and Universities. The so-called "Gun Free Zone" is now well proven to be a failed experiment which has been utilizing our students and faculty as defenseless lab rats, many of which have paid the ultimate price. Although Liberal Progressives dream of it, I have yet to hear of a single Rapist, Murderer, or Criminal Psychopath who has actually disarmed himself voluntarily simply because he saw a Gun Free Zone sign posted on a wall.
