Throwing Sucker Punches and Books

There’s been much speculation about and comparison between the inaugural crowds in D.C. for Donald Trump versus Hussein Obama. Everyone has an opinion though none have precise numbers. I’ve seen citation to photographs, bus permits, and subway tokens. The White House addressed the issue (hilariously) during an impromptu first press briefing yesterday.

If Trump had a lower turnout than Obama there may be many reasons why. Popularity? Possibly. Weather? Probably not. There’s the issue of Trump supporters being more likely to have jobs and businesses to attend to. And then there were the thousands of wild, violent savages running amok in D.C. yesterday and Friday.

Maybe you’ve seen some footage. There was representation of every anti-American, anti-civilization group in existence: Snowflakes. BLM. Feminists. “Anarchists”. Communists. LGBBQXYZ. SDS. More communists. The Weathermen. Oakland fans. General socialists. Abortionists. Anti-white. The “Pizza” crowd. La Raza. Pokemon zombies. Anti-Christian. NAMBLA. Ordinary felons. Madonna. Satanists. ISIS. Soccer hooligans. The Klingon Liberation Front. Opportunistic looters. I think I even saw an “Impeach Earl Warren” sign out there.

They attacked the police. They attacked bystanders. They attacked each other. They smashed windows. They attacked McDonalds. They attacked Starbucks. The burned limousines. They burned smaller cars. They burned newspaper boxes. They burned Trump hats and t-shirts. If it would hold a flame, they burned it. They threw rocks at the Secret Service. One sucker punched European Peoples civil rights activist Richard Spencer as he calmly spoke to ABC. Others caused author Mike Cernovich to get pepper-sprayed by the cops.

A gentleman eloquently discusses the pros and cons of the Trans Pacific Partnership. The Daily Mail / AP.

They spoke of bombing the White House. They screamed and chanted. They blocked traffic. They blocked pedestrians. They shoved reporters. They menaced regular citizens. They threatened hotels. The defecated in the streets. The smoked irregular cigarettes. The only thing they forgot to do was bathe.

Who in his right mind would wish to endure such madness in order to hear a politician – any politician – speak?

Now, according to The Mail, 230 of the rioters face felony rioting charges.

Most of the 230 rioters arrested after violent protests erupted in Washington D.C. following Donald Trump’s inauguration will be charged with felony rioting, federal prosecutors said on Saturday.

The charge carries a punishment of up to ten years in jail and a $25,000 fine.

Thousand of protesters launched a violent rampage just blocks away from the White House as anti-Trump demonstrators smashed store windows, set fire to cars and threw bricks at police.

These thugs have been accustomed to no consequences whatsoever from their violent behavior. In the rare cases of arrest, they are generally given wrist-slaps – further “micro aggressions” about which to rant and complain (while smoking MJ and still not bathing). The thought of a ten-year sentence, a felony record, and loss of the ability to vote against future Republicans never crossed their drug-addled minds.

I do not know how the charges break down. And I’m not looking into it. I assume, given the events and location, they are a combination of federal and local D.C. (federal). I think the blanket charge is “felony rioting”. To be consistent, here, I do not see “rioting” delineated in the Constitution. However, as I am the last reader of the Old Parchment, that does not matter. Few of the detained will raise that defense anyway; none successfully. A new legal reality for the denizens of the unreal world.

Part of the new reality is the plea deals and sentencing guidelines lurking within the halls of justice [SIC]. Those will account for circumstances and likely result in probation, short terms of incarceration, and suspended sentences. The odds are even against restitution for all the damages.

One hopes the scofflaws learn at least one of several available lessons here. No matter what your issues are, it’s wrong to attack people in the streets. It’s wrong to burn private property. Real Americans are rising again, beyond sick of these juvenile shenanigans. All those cops were there as much to protect the leftists from real Americans as to arrest the leftists. All of those cops had guns. It could have been 230 body bags. It still might be.

So, there we have it. In Amerika some throw rocks. Some throw punches and kicks. Others throw the book at the other throwers. I throw words from a keyboard.

The Dirty Denny Hastert Saga Rolls On

This useless, unthinking, unfeeling pile of excrement continues to do the unthinkable.

Imprisoned former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has asked a Kendall County judge to not only reject a sexual abuse victim’s breach-of-contract lawsuit, but also to make the man pay back $1.7 million in secret hush-money payments.

In response to the lawsuit and in his counterclaim, made public Thursday and signed by Hastert, he denied that the oral pact is akin to a valid and enforceable contract and, if so, it would be the plaintiff who breached it when he broke his silence and spoke to federal authorities.

The lawsuit was filed in April by a now middle-age married man whom Hastert coached decades ago at Yorkville High School.

The man, known as Individual A in the federal case, said Hastert had agreed in 2010 to pay him $3.5 million if he didn’t disclose publicly that Hastert inappropriately touched him in the 1970s, when Individual A was 14, during a wrestling trip while the two stayed overnight in a hotel room. Hastert was close friends with his boy’s parents.

One hopes the judge uses this opportunity to throw out the counter-claim and to further excoriate this trash for what he is.

You may recall, back in 2015, I had a modicum of legal sympathy for this disgusting, child molesting, down low queer only because he was imprisoned for the the phony crime of”structuring”. That’s all gone now. I hope he dies in prison. As is, he is scheduled to be released in August – you know, about the time men sight-in rifles for deer season.

Selective “Justice”: Chelsea Manning’s Sentence Commuted

Bradley Chelsea Manning had his her sentence pardoned commuted by the outgoing President Sotoro Obama. (Damn Darn).

President Obama on Tuesday commuted all but four months of the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of a 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted his administration and brought global prominence to WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures.

The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to kill herself last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the men’s military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

At the same time that Mr. Obama commuted the sentence of Ms. Manning, a low-ranking enlisted soldier at the time of her leaks, he also pardoned Gen. James E. Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who pleaded guilty to lying about his conversations with reporters to F.B.I. agents investigating a leak of classified information about cyberattacks on Iran’s nuclear program.

Make of this what you will. I have a head neck ache…

Obama also pardon some drug dealers.

No pardon, yet, for the still-male Edward Snowden. Carlos Slim’s blog seems to think he should face “justice” in U.S. courts first. Of course, Snowden has offered to return from Russia if the government will only guarantee him a fair trial. That, they will not do as fair trials went out of fashion in 1945. It’s either a pardon or life in Russia (which apparently ain’t so bad).

Some get relief. Some do not.

The treasonous rats of D.C. scurry about the Congressional sewer, almost panicked, in their frenzy to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, welfarians, and terrorists. Fitting.

Meanwhile, eight million decent American citizens are in trouble with the IRS: either behind on their taxes, accused of owing taxes they don’t owe, in tax repayment plans, in court, under audit, or under investigation. Their crime was producing a little wealth. Absolutely no relief for them (us) whatsoever.

taxdebt1

When the IRS says you owe something you have two options. One, you can fight it out in Tax Court. This is a show trial and the whole time penalties, interest, and possible indictment simmer. Then you lose and have to pay. Or, you can pay what they tell you and then sue them in District Court. There you get a show trial and lose, having to pay your attorney in addition to the earlier extortion tax payment.

This is not what Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin had in mind. Hamilton, maybe. Political prisoners have their fates decided politically. Dead-to-rights guilty criminals get away Scott-free with a hug and a welfare check. Hardworking, innocent Americans get treated like slaves.

We can do better than this. Therefore,

I hereby call on and beseech President Trump,

(as of Friday, noonish) to do the following:

  • Pardon all federal convicts, not convicted of Piracy, Counterfeiting, or Treason;
  • Carefully look into those three or four Americans actually convicted of those Constitutional crimes for political motivation;
  • If said motivation is found, then pardon them too;
  • Round up and deport all aliens and immigrants, ship them out, and halt all incoming immigration;
  • Abolish the Immigration Act of 1965;
  • Deport Congress;
  • Abolish the 16th Amendment and the Income Tax;
  • Abolish the Federal Reserve;
  • Abolish the IRS;
  • Declare all senior staff at the Fed, the Treasury, and the IRS enemy combatants; and
  • Appoint me to deal with the enemy combatants.

That will do for starters. Now, I have a neck back ache to attend to…

Deport Congress … Now

Republicans have long had a unique use and calling in politics – to cave in and go along to get along – no matter the subject. Now, they can add to their useless reputations the nuance of stabbing Americans in the back as hard as their feeble, bloated arms might allow.

Donald Trump got elected last year in part because Americans are sick of their borders being overrun by law-breakers. They want some semblance of the old country back. They want illegals removed. Candidate Trump said he got it. President-elect Trump may still get it. Paul Ryan, who would lose a popularity contest to D.C. sewer rats, will never get it.

Congressional Republicans are working with the Trump transition team on a solution for immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday.

Hundreds of thousands of these immigrants gained temporary protections and work permits from President Obama. While campaigning for president, Donald Trump promised to undo those protections, putting the immigrants at risk of deportation, although he said last month he hoped to “work something out” to help them.

Ryan didn’t detail what Congress and Mr. Trump would do about the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But when questioned on a CNN town hall by a woman who identified herself as a DACA recipient with a young daughter, Ryan told her he did not want to see her deported.

“I can see you love your daughter, you are a nice person who has a great future ahead of you, and I hope your future is here,” Ryan said.

“What we have to do is find a way to make sure that you can get right with the law, and we’ve got to do this in a good way so that the rug doesn’t get pulled out from under you and your family gets separated.”

Host Jake Tapper pointed out that Mr. Trump, during the campaign, promised a “deportation force” to round up the more than 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Ryan dismissed that idea.

“I’m here to tell you in Congress, it’s not happening.”

Instead, Ryan said Mr. Trump has asked lawmakers to focus on two priorities with respect to illegal immigration: securing the border and deporting immigrants who are violent, repeat criminals.

House GOP lawmakers and aides have also said recently they’re working on how to pay for border security to make good on Mr. Trump’s promise of building a wall on the border with Mexico, although at least initially taxpayers would foot the bill – not Mexico, as Mr. Trump promised.

DACA has extended work permits and temporary deportation relief to more than 700,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as youths since its creation in 2012. Mr. Trump has said it and other Obama executive actions are unconstitutional, since they involved going around Congress, a position Ryan repeated Thursday.

DACA permits need to be renewed every two years, so Mr. Trump could cancel out the program over time by ordering agencies to stop processing new applications and renewals. There is high anxiety in immigrant communities about what he will do.

“We have to figure out how to have a humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem and respect the rule of law,” Ryan said.

Why build a wall at this point? Why secure the borders? Why even have laws or a play-pretend facade of a nation? Based on the foregoing, the only reason I can come up with is to give jobs to the otherwise unemployable like Ryan.

This is the legacy of the package of total lies known as the Immigration Act of 1965. It’s in the spirit of the GOP/Reagan betrayals of 1986. The former was not going to change anything. The latter was a one-time, never-gonna-happen-again solution (a cave-in). Yet here we are in 2017 facing more lies and more caving. And back-stabbing.

I ask my Republican-voting friends, how can you support this gang of liars and thieves? Dear Democrat friends, please do not smirk; “your” team is right beside and behind the GOP traitors.

Speaker Ryan startled (like a cockroach) when someone turned on the lights. Chip Somodevilla / Getty.

Fine. I offer a “humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem”: deport Congress. The Dreamers, the criminals, the terrorists, and the welfarians can stay. Just give us 535 deportations. Deport Congress. All of them. Now. January 20th will be fine. Where? Anywhere that isn’t the U.S. I suppose the open ocean or Antarctica might do. Space, possibly.

Trump could accomplish this with a single Executive Order and a battalion of Marines. And there is legal precedent for it: see the strange case of Clement L. Vallandigham (D-Ohio).

They just have to go. Pick any illegal alien and you’ve automatically found someone more American that any of our Congressional trash. It’s really time to take it out.

Esteban Santiago a.k.a. Aashiq Hammad: Is Anyone Surprised?

11 Wednesday Jan 2017

≈ Comments Off on Esteban Santiago a.k.a. Aashiq Hammad: Is Anyone Surprised?

, ,

A minor correction, today. Seems the Fort Lauderdale airport shooter was already converted and radicalized(ing) prior to joining the U.S. Army.

The Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter is a Muslim convert who years before joining the U.S. Army took on an Islamic name (Aashiq Hammad), downloaded terrorist propaganda and recorded Islamic religious music online, according to public records dug up by the investigative news site of an award-winning, California journalist. This is pertinent information that the Obama administration apparently wants to keep quiet, bringing up memories of the Benghazi cover up, in which the president and his cohorts knowingly lied to conceal that Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Special Mission in Libya.

Information is slowly trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam while the official story from authorities is that the gunman is a mentally ill, Hispanic Army veteran named Esteban Santiago that became unhinged after a tour in Iraq. Only one mainstream media outlet mentions the possibility of Santiago’s “jihadist identity,” burying it in a piece about New York possibly being his initial target. A paragraph deep in the story mentions that investigators recovered Santiago’s computer from a pawn shop and the FBI is examining it to determine whether he created a “jihadist identity for himself using the name Aashiq Hammad…” The reset of the traditional mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIS salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf.

The public records uncovered in the days after the massacre suggest Santiago (Hammad) is a radical Islamic terrorist that’s seriously committed to Islam. Besides taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including the Muslim declaration faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum. The investigative news site that unearthed this disturbing information connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007.

This week a prominent Ft. Lauderdale businessman and longtime resident addressed a letter to the city’s mayor and commissioners blasting county and federal officials for covering up that “Aashiq Hammad, not Esteban Santiago, attacked our city and county.” The businessman, respected Ft. Lauderdale real estate entrepreneur Jim Morlock, specifically names Broward County’s elected sheriff Scott Israel, Florida senator Bill Nelson, the first to identify Santiago as the shooter on national television, and congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ousted last summer as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair over a scandalous plot to damage Bernie Sanders during the primary.

“Since when does a US Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so quickly release this terrorist’s Hispanic name but nothing about his more relevant Islamic background?” the letter asks. Obama must have told Sen. Nelson to keep this from looking like a Muslim Terrorist attack during the last 12 days of his watch. Bad for his legacy.” Morlock goes on to state that it’s “better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence.” The real estate entrepreneur proceeds to reveal that Santiago lives in walking distance to the only mosque in Alaska, was radicalized before he entered the military and was knowingly allowed to serve despite his Islamic sympathies thanks to “Obama’s PC military.”

The letter poses interesting questions, including why this Muslim terrorist chose Ft. Lauderdale out of all the nation’s airports and who Santiago knows in Broward county, which has a large and growing Islamic community. In 2015 Judicial Watch obtained records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that show and Al Qaeda terrorist who helped plan several U.S. attacks lived in Broward County and graduated from the local community college with a degree in computer engineering. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, but he also had a Hispanic identity, Javier Robles, and for years he appeared on the FBI’s most wanted list. Back in 2012 Judicial Watch reported on a terrorist front group’s demands that Broward County public schools close twice a year to celebrate Islamic holy days, illustrating the influence that Muslims have in the region.

No-one is or should be surprised. Is anyone ready to do anything?

Lost Minds, Lost Lives

The Fort Lauderdale shooter left five dead and wounded another six (some counts still say eight). He is in custody.

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – The suspected gunman in a deadly attack at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport “lost his mind” after coming back home from a one-year tour in Iraq, family members told the media.

Investigators are now looking into what may have set off 26-year-old Esteban Santiago-Ruiz into a shooting rampage that left five dead and six others wounded.

“Only thing I could tell you was when he came out of Iraq, he wasn’t feeling too good,” his uncle, Hernan Rivera, told the Bergen Record newspaper, as reported by The Associated Press.

Perhaps this was a case of cultural contamination mixed with PTSD. However, there is a strong suggestion of terrorism. Especially considering that Santiago-Ruiz walked into the FBI office in Alaska recently and told them he was working for ISIS. At some point it might pay off to start believing these people.

ISIS has yet to claim responsibility – something they’re prone to do in cases like this. They have a track record of associating mentally disturbed people into their operations. It could be a combination of factors.

Still, one thing is sure. Calls for gun control can’t be far behind. There’s already idiotic chatter about extending airport security to the front doors. Next it will be the parking lot entrance. Creeping incrementalism, none of which will stop ISIS or harden criminals.

Hopefully, given the nature of the incoming administration and Congress, these pleas for communism will ring in vain.

If it all adds up right, this story could be the perfect illustration of the stupidity of American foreign and terrorism policies. A soldier, dispatched to “fight” Islamists in Iraq comes back bat crazy as a result. Then, under the influence of the Islamists, he brings the terror home.

There are reasonably simple solutions to these disorders.

The “new normal” at the American airport.

The terror resumed immediately in 2017, in Turkey. And it didn’t take long to start again here. This was getting old last year.

Evidence mounts that the “Russian” hacking of the DNC before November’s election was an inside (non-Russian) job.

These things are nearly always inside jobs. This has “disgruntled employee” written all over it. Every whistleblower deal does. Of course, the Democrats would want to bury this one deep because it would also imply that one of their own “did the right thing” and came forward. Which would, obviously, discredit the entire campaign and candidate, to say nothing of the party itself. WikiLeaks isn’t going to say one way or the other because of confidentiality and protecting their source if they even know. Every journalist worthy of the name protects his source. But they’re not going to sit by and watch Russia get blamed wrongly, either.

It also serves the purpose of trying to hamstring Trump as he comes into office. The Democrats have shown they’re willing to start the Second Cold War in order to do this. But the primary motive is self-preservation because if the American people found out this was an inside job, they’re going to see corruption in the Democratic Party pretty much confirmed by them. Not to mention the corruption of the cover-up and then blaming a nuclear-armed nation to do so. People are then going to wonder what else they’re not being told.

Now I can’t prove this was an inside job. But I say history shows that, in both the public and private sector, whistleblowing comes from the inside nearly ten times out of ten. This wasn’t “hacking”, this was whistleblowing. Because “hacking” would have involved disabling their computers and destroying valuable documents. Not revealing things that they DID SAY which would mortally damage their campaign if made public. Let’s compare apples to apples here, not apples to grapefruit. When the United States hacked into Iran’s computers, they inserted a “worm” which wreaked havoc on their systems and destroyed large parts of it. Ok, so why was this not the case with the Democrats’ computers? No, what happened is embarrassing FACTS were revealed. That’s not “hacking”, that’s whistleblowing.

Never mind the absence of evidence of Russian involvement (no idea what the Senate is listening to as I type this). The whistleblower angle is sufficient. And the fact that the cover-uppers are more than willing to risk a war we can’t win speaks perfectly of their character (or lack thereof).

Three things should happen here:

  1. Putin’s feelings are not hurt; heck, he’s laughing about this. Still, Trump should issue an apology as part of the relationship rebuild.
  2. The whistleblower(s), once identified, should be thanked (unless they were part of the cover-up [which would make this a false flag, BTW]).
  3. The cover-up crew should be exiled to Siberia.

Georgia / DHS Hack Attack: Could Have Been Br’er Fox

10 Saturday Dec 2016

, , , , ,

The news snuck up and bit me whilst I Christmas shopped.

The other day I mentioned the DHS attempted breach of the Georgia Secretary of State’s computer system. I said it was interesting. And the interest grows.

DHS, I read somewhere, initially issued a blanket denial. There were some potentially plausible explanations for the intrusion. But the denial didn’t really set off any alarms. Agencies blanket deny just about everything up front. If it goes away, good for them. If not, then they come up with some line of reasoning. Here’s the interesting part:

The feds have come up with two plausible explanations and they have done so rapidly. One is that some nefarious third-party hacker “mirrored” their IP address to launch a covert attack. I’ve heard of things like that. It makes sense.

However, they seem to put more emphasis on the second theory: hacking by a rogue DHS agent. That they’ve admitted this is even a possibility means they either knew something beforehand or they were concerned about a mole. Who could this rogue be?

I know government employees get bored. But no-one will be so bored as to resort to trying to break into another government computer system. There’s gambling, and porn, and Facebook if things get that bad. Only a lunatic would want to sneak a peek at any SOS site. That, or someone with a criminal agenda – and really good cover. Again, who?

CNN, the WaPo, and the DNC are blaming the Russians for everything under the sun right now. Could it have been Moscow? Maybe. But not likely. I would first suspect corporate espionage before the Russians. Brian Kemp’s site has a lot of company and professional data as he mentioned in his letter to Jeh Johnson. Still, that doesn’t seem plausible either.

More so than business information, the site hosts tons of personal citizen data. I would lean towards an attempted identity theft ring. Those things are out there and they sometimes pay odd people – even trusted government security types – to steal raw data for them. It’s possible. Yet, something else keeps hinting away in my brain. Who else would want a lot of private information about where Georgians live and so forth?

Br’er Mohamed? The jihadis are working overtime trying to attack the West. And they seem to specialize in new and innovative approaches. Often, 7th century slander aside, they go the sophisticated, high-tech route. We know they’ve done data mining before. They’ve published “hit lists” of thousands of names, backed up by detailed information.

A computer screenshot shows the U.S. Central Command Twitter feed after it was apparently hacked by people claiming to be Islamic State sympathizers

They’ve done major government site hacking before. Newsweek / ISIS / Twitter.

A successful breach – and this one failed (as far as we’re told) – would have yielded over 6 million identities. That’s a lot to work through. But, whatever else the terrorists are, they are industrious. They could have started building a super list. Maybe a list for targeted assassinations? Who knows. It might not even be them.

DHS and Georgia are both investigating. If it was indeed a third-party, we will likely never know the identity. Hackers are superb at hiding. If it was a rogue, they’ll find him. Unless he flees the country. And, then, where he flees might shed light on his motives. Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Pakistan?

All of this is developing, of course. Perhaps the most alarming aspect is that, whatever this was and however it happened, it came from the very federal agency which was allegedly custom crafted a few years ago to fight just this sort of activity. Fight it, not foment it. There was a reason Ron Paul called publicly for abolishing DHS. Remember that?

Ah, well – a mystery…

Just after last month’s election the State of Georgia detected a cyber-attack on the Secretary of State’s computer system. This is the same system that maintains voter records and corporate information.

The attack came from the criminal organization known as the federal Department of Homeland Security.

Brian Kemp, Georgia’s Secretary of State sent a letter to Jeh Johnson of DHS demanding to know why the feds attempted the break in. He also pointed out that this attempt amounts to a felony under 18 U.S.C. 1030. Or, it would if attempted by anyone else.

It’s interesting that the department nominally created to protect the homeland instead chooses to attack individual states. By the way, their attempted penetration failed – thus confirming this was a government operation.

Fred Reed On Gun Control

Gun control does not equal crime control. Usually it makes things worse. Fred gets it.He gets a lot of things and generally in hilarious fashion. His take on international gun control failures:

The two most heavily armed countries in the world are (still, I think) Israel and Switzerland. In Switzerland, men of military age are (still, I think) required to keep an assault rifle and ammunition in their homes, and Israelis are similarly armed because, having enemies on their borders, they need to be able to mobilize rapidly.

In both countries murders by armed citizens are essentially nonexistent. By contrast, Mexico has strict gun control. Does anyone get shot in Mexico?

Yes, actually. Some 164,000 thousand shot dead between 2007 and 2014 (Figures vary. The foregoing are typical.) Pretty effective, gun control is.

Why do murders occur so exuberantly in a country with gun control? Because making guns illegal doesn’t make guns go away. In Mexico gun control means that criminals can have, and assuredly do have, high-powered military weapons, usually AKs–cuernos de chiva. Thus a dozen narcos can enter a large town and terrorize it. If a hundred men in the town had AR-15s, the dozen narcos would enter the town in pickups and forthwith leave in boxes. Gun control leaves the town disarmed and helpless.

Always remember that the goal of the gun grabbers is to render you helpless, defenseless. They want you a victim to their various criminal constituencies.

Average, oridinary Swiss Misses. The Truth About Guns.

Interestingly, and partly based on the above, the only real violent crime problems in Switzerland and Israel come from radical Islamic terrorists. They’re all around the Israelis and they’re pouring into Switzerland (though slower than in surrounding countries). The exact same people who would disarm you are the very people pushing the terrorist invasion. Funny, that.

Arm up!
