Watching an interview last night, Jeanine Pirro interviewing Congressman Alan Grayson ([B]Democrat[/B]), where Alan said at 6:50, that if people were able to defend themselves, the death toll would have increased.

Sometimes I don't think people can hear what's coming out of their mouths. On one side of his pie hole, he says we shouldn't give in to fear, and out of the other side comes gun control, because--you know--that's not a fearful, knee-jerk reaction at all, and it really works. As an example, he cites Israel, where "you can't buy an assault rifle."
Yeah, we never hear about violence, murder and terrorism coming out of Israel...
I didn't watch the whole video because both Pirro and Grayson are just freakin' annoying. Let me know if I missed any other notable stupidity, though.

Well pretty much everything that came out his mouth was lunacy.
8:48 he goes into gun control mode.

700 rounds in less than a minute. Really?
6.) Swamp Fox - 06/13/2016
Yeah, I heard that from somebody else, as well. Must have been a libtard talking point for a while.
The first report I heard mentioned "automatic weapons." This was actually published somewhere, not someone making a slip of the tongue.
Yay, journalism!

On the bright side, Hillary apparently used the word "radical terrorist". I know, right? A little late to the party, but then she made up for all that by lecturing people on the fact that demonizing all Muslims won't solve this problem.
She is brilliant you know.
She is brilliant you know.
8.) bluecat - 06/13/2016
Does anyone know how much 700 rounds weigh? I'm trying to do the physics. You know a 158 pound terrorist can't lug 700 multiplied times X ounces per round. I mean where are they going to grip them all...? :wink

Two words: Mental disorder.
Well, that and a certain large group of people in the country don't believe in the rights of self-defense and self-determination.
The state is supreme, and you can't be trusted. Leave the important stuff to the professionals, kiddo.
I'm surprised the moron didn't try to explain the danger that if someone in that club had had a gun, he probably would have "shot like a girl."
Grayson's a notorious crank, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that someone was trampled to death in his rush to get in front of a camera on this.

I believe in Florida you are not allowed to carry a firearm into a place that makes more than half its money from alcohol.
So, another victory for gun control.
Right now, Obama is frantically dialing the phone trying to reach Hillary to remind her how not mentioning jihad or Islamism means terrorists can't use it against us. He's keeping his fingers crossed she doesn't blow it.

Yeah, I didn't hear a lot of pressure-cooker control talk after Boston, either.
But whenever a gun's involved, everyone loses their minds.
There's something about an explosion, I guess, that helps people focus on the correct things.
(Well, let me qualify that: When was the last time taking off your shoes in an airport or patting down 10-year old girls and old folks in wheelchairs yielded a terror arrest?)

Proceeds to politicize Orlando.
I'm sure she'll be on the boob tube tonight with her remarks, so I won't link. It's the usual blather.

No, that's Chris Christie when Trump tells him they're having McDonald's for lunch...
There's a rumor going around that Trump has Christie going on burger runs for him, etc. The evidence supposedly was on Snapchat, which I think means it's now deleted...But the legend will live on even without video, LOL.
BTW, 700 rounds of .223 or 5.56 ammo is at least 18 pounds, depending. Not sure what total this chart will give you, but it's comprehensive, so linking seems a good idea compared to some of the other info I came across.

The sad reality is that masses of defenseless people in buildings and other relatively confined spaces are remarkably easy to kill/maim in large numbers...and and using firearms isn't even one of the easier or most effective ways to do it.

A body count of 87, and a can of gasoline and a match was all it took. Well, that's not true. I'm omitting the one thing that's needed, and that renders the choice of weapon all but irrelevant: A deranged individual with both the motivation and the will to carry out mass murder.

I was going to post this yesterday, but I figured, "Why overload the forum and possibly crash it with all the traffic...Save it for tomorrow."
So, here you go. I have another article lined up but it's not as pathetic....Possibly more noteworthy, but I'll save it for later.
Bear in mind, this is from a grown man, a reporter for [I]The New York Daily News [/I](yeah, I know...):
[B][I][SIZE=3]What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud [/SIZE][/I][/B]
[QUOTE]
[I] I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style assault weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers.
But mostly, I was just terrified.
... I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).
The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.
[B][/B]
Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. [B]In fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.

If so, the editor might still want to have a second or third look at this piece (whatever number is required?) to bring it into harmony with actual life on this planet.
[B][I]Many gun shops turned down our request to fire and discuss the AR-15, a style of tactical machine gun popular with mass killers such as San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook and Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen.

[I]NY Times[/I] making shit up again:
[I]While the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear, it is evident that Mr. Mateen was driven by hatred toward gays and lesbians. Hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester, where minorities are vilified and where people are scapegoated for political gain. Tragically, this is the state of American politics, driven too often by Republican politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish.
[/I]
[url]http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/15/opinion/the-corrosive-politics-that-threaten-lgbt-americans.html?_r=1[/url]
"While the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear...." -----Oh, c'mon, Mrs. Isuzu, take a swing at it...Just whatever seems roughly the most plausible reason for the attack. Just let it out...This is a judgment-free zone here... a safe space, if you will.
"Hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester..."---- You mean like in fundamentalist, literalist Islam?---No? Are you serious?
"Tragically, this is the state of American politics, driven too often by Republican politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish."---Please, put down the bong and log off the DNC website before you hurt yourself. I'm afraid it's too late to do anything about the embarrassment, but you can't have everything...
Nowhere in this idiotic piece is Islam mentioned, even radical Islam, and nowhere is there any discussion of the killer's background, known or unknown to the FBI. They certainly forgot to mention that he was a registered Democrat. But I guess if they had brought that up, they'd have to bring up some lengthy and inconvenient history of the Democratic Party, even if they could avoid a brief mention of the current sad special interest and identity politics that define the sweet little angels today.

801st anniversary of the Magna Carta today, by the way, ladies and germs, in case anyone is thinking about due process and other tidbits of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights.
Why is getting a king to sign the Magna Carta a big deal?
[I]Why? Because everything flows therefrom – from England’s Glorious Revolution to the US Constitution and beyond. It’s part of the reason why the English-speaking world, in contrast to Continental Europe, has managed to sustain its freedoms across the generations – at least until now. As John Robson, my old colleague from Conrad Black’s Hollinger group, puts it:
"All the rights we cherish, from due process of law to elected representatives, trace back to it. It has been assailed time and again and always defended. It’s why we have rights today. But that story needs to be told again and again or it will be lost and with it our freedom."
Security of the person, property rights, religious freedom, due process… The core animating principles of modern free societies began in that muddy field in Runnymede eight centuries ago. That’s why it’s the most important anniversary of the year: when the pampered, solipsistic beneficiaries of an 800-year inheritance start to lose the habits of liberty, only darkness lies ahead. Better to re-learn the old lessons while we still can.

Here are a few of my favorite semi-relevant quotes of his, from [I]America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It[/I]:
“There may be many things wrong with the United States but only a blind fool who hasn't been paying attention for the last twenty years would hold up Europe as the alternative.”
“Americans and other Westerners who want their families to enjoy the blessings of life in a free society should understand that the life we've led since 1945 in the Western world is very rare in human history. Our children are unlikely to enjoy anything so placid, and may well spend their adult years in an ugly and savage world unless we decide that who and what we are is worth defending.”
“After September 11, I wondered rhetorically midway through a column what we in the West are prepared to die for, and got a convoluted e-mail back from a French professor explaining that the fact that Europeans weren't prepared to die for anything was the best evidence of their superiority: they were building a post-historical utopia - a Europe it would not be necessary to die for. But sometimes you die anyway.”
“Everyone's for a free Tibet, but no one's for freeing Tibet. So Tibet will stay unfree - as unfree now as it was when the first Free Tibet campaigner slapped the very first "FREE TIBET" sticker on the back of his Edsel. Idealism as inertia is the hallmark of the movement...He's [the guy with the bumper sticket] advertising his moral superiority, not calling for action. If Rumsfeld were to say, "Free Tibet? Jiminy, what a swell idea! The Third Infantry Division goes in on Thursday," the bumper-sticker crowd would be aghast. They'd have to bend down and peel off the "FREE TIBET" stickers and replace them with "WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER.”

With the libs, it's as if they suffer from selective amnesia.
BTW, Sen. Grassley fleshed a lot of this out with FBI Director Comey in hearings last December, I believe, and Comey outlined how they already get flagged when a watch-list purchase is attempted. He also indicated disfavor with inept attempts to monkey with the present system, in that some proposals would put investigations and surveillance in jeopardy.
Furthermore, the FBI has the power to go after guns that are sold inappropriately. That is, if they find that a sale goes through that shouldn't have (which I believe has happened in the mid- tens of thousands of times) they can do something about it. The problem is that they don't. If I recall, they don't even attempt to retrieve the guns in any more than 10% of the cases.

[I]"Mr. Chairman, you’re right,” said Comey. “There are a variety of things that we do when we are notified that someone on our known or suspected terrorist database is attempting to buy a firearm.
“The FBI is alerted when that is triggered, and then we do investigation, understand, are there disqualifiers that we’re aware of that could stop the transactions, and if the transaction goes through, the agents who are assigned to that case, to that subject are alerted to it so they can investigate,” Comey added.
“Thank you very much for that clarification,” said Grassley. “So there are then actually many things that can be done, done right now to stop one, someone on the no-fly list from buying a gun, and that leads me to say that our president is misrepresenting the facts and misleading the American people on that point.”[/I]

From DP's link:
[I]
"In other words, the GOP bill puts the burden on the government to get judicial clearance, while the Democratic bill puts the burden on the individual to prove his innocence. The GOP bill requires the government to show "probable cause" to a judge, while the Democratic bill relies on a lower legal standard that a "preponderance of evidence" shows the attorney general has a "reasonable belief" that the prospective gun buyer may be a terrorist."
Schumer claimed the Cornyn bill would allow someone on the watch list to immediately obtain a weapon, but that claim was false: The sale would not go through for 72 hours. Democratic claims that lawyers could delay a hearing beyond 72 hours in order to get around the law proposed by Cornyn were also unfounded...
[...]
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have never explained why they decided not to bring the Democratic terror watch list gun ban up for a vote when Democrats controlled overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate from 2009 to 2011.[/I]

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have never explained why they decided not to bring the Democratic terror watch list gun ban up for a vote when Democrats controlled overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate from 2009 to 2011.[/I]

BRET BAIER: Last thing, have you ever seen the movie Caddyshack?
DALAI LAMA: What?
BAIER: Caddyshack, the movie.
DALAI LAMA: I don’t know.
BAIER: The part about the Dalai Lama. Have you ever played golf?
DALAI LAMA: No.
BAIER: You’re not a big hitter?
DALAI LAMA: In badminton.
BAIER: But not golf?
DALAI LAMA: No.
BAIER: There’s a classic movie called Caddyshack where they talk about the Dalai Lama.
DALAI LAMA: I see.
BAIER: I had to ask you about it.

If the military is sending troops into combat mainly with semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, this would explain a lot. We should call a meeting of the Joint Chiefs, or at least send a strongly-worded letter.

Well, as predicted, Obama whiffs with his remarks in Orlando. If he'd stuck to condolences for the injured and grieving, and to gratitude for the heroes, he could have pulled it off. But no, he spent an extraordinary amount of time on his gun control agenda, completely inappropriate for a memorial.
If he wanted to be political, he should have said something about Islamic hostility toward homosexuals, but he didn't. Instead, he transitioned to bloviating that Americans must strive to be better human beings, extolling multi-culturalism, and pandering to the social justice warriors.
It wasn't his worst performance, but it was close.

House Speaker Paul Ryan called on the Obama administration Monday to "release the full, unredacted transcript" of the Orlando massacre gunman’s 911 calls, slamming the Justice Department’s censoring of all references to Islam as "preposterous."
The redacted transcripts of Omar Mateen’s calls to Orlando Police — made during his assault on the Pulse gay nightclub — included Mateen’s claim of responsibility, as well as identifying himself to police as an Islamic soldier. All other references to ISIS or Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were scrubbed clean by the Justice Department.

"Selectively editing this transcript is preposterous," said Ryan, R-Wis., in a statement. "We know the shooter was a radical Islamist extremist inspired by ISIS. We also know he intentionally targeted the LGBT community. The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this, and why."

But in comment sure to rankle conservatives, Lynch said authorities have not ruled out other motives for Mateen’s shooting rampage, in which he killed 49 and wounded 53 others, and that there is no specific explanation for why he targeted a gay nightclub.
“I cannot tell you definitively that we will ever be able to narrow this down to one motivation,” she said. "This was clearly an act of terror [B]and[/B] an act of hate.”
So you could have an act of terror that wasn't an act of hate?

Another genius heard from. Logic is apparently not her strong suit. Good thing's she's a law professor, so she can't do any damage:
[I]Shirin Sinnar, a Stanford University assistant law professor who specializes in the balance between civil liberties and national security, advocated measures like an assault weapons ban instead of relying on watch lists.
“Existing terrorist watch lists, despite the fact that they sweep in large numbers of people who will never pose a threat, cannot include everyone who might end up proving to be a threat, since there's no science to predictions of dangerousness,” she said.

Huh. Gun bans and watch lists....One of these things IS like the other. Who knew?
The article is mainly about a woman who got on the no-fly list and spent 8 years and expended four million dollars of pro-bono legal work (I'd like to see the bookkeeping on that!) before she was removed, and how this issue relates to gun control. Apparently, she's the only one to be removed by the courts so far. It's worth a few minutes to read.

Apparently, she's the only one to be removed by the courts so far. It's worth a few minutes to read.

Honestly, after watching this video, I was giddy with excitement. I felt like I was watching something...well...unprecedented and historic...
btw, tonight I'm going to stay up past midnight and eat cheetos with my friends and then sleep late. My dad is taking me to the ball game tomorrow if I mow the lawn.

The kids on the libtard sites have been eating it up...I almost linked to a thread from the Democratic Underground, but I figured some of you ate breakfast today.
John Lewis is the new Che Guevara...They're just waiting for the T-shirts.

I'm going to have to re-train myself to use "progtard" instead, I think. It's time. As people have been pointing out for a while, no self-respecting "liberal" (much less a "classical liberal") would put up with what the left and the center-left have been up to in the last fifteen years or so. And while liberals (used pejoratively) are almost in the same class as libtards, it's probably time to give them a small break as their more moronic and un-American incarnation asserts its dominance.
You wonder what's next on the agenda. Freedom of speech?
Oh, wait...

Well, at least they'll leave us with that one amendment about not having to quarter troops in our homes. Maybe.
