The Morning Rant
"Why is the FBI always so quick to say there's 'no evidence' that a shooter had connections to Islamic terrorism? And why is there never 'no evidence' that he was a right wing Tea Party militia guy wearing a MAGA hat? That's a question that they always seem to leave open."
Good point, often overlooked:
I think this illustrates one of the basic divides between progressives and conservatives, and actually serves as a good litmus test, to wit: if you believe safety ought to be valued more than freedom, you're either a progressive or you will, over time, slowly gravitate toward the progressive end of the political spectrum. If you favor freedom over safety, you're a conservative, or you will trend in that direction. And oh, by the way, you can't have both, not at the same time. I have to say this because I know there are difference-splitters who think they can dodge the dilemma by claiming to value both. But both can't be equally important. Ultimately, the more you have of the one, the less you must necessarily have of the other.Conservative media: I'd rather be free than safe. https://t.co/3ebA4wDMoo pic.twitter.com/9CrFrZ0ejW

Let's check in with Matthew Dowd (Finalist: Dumbest Man on the Internet, 2015, 2016, 2017) and see if he's taken any basic history lessons:
Apparently not. He still remains as pig-ignorant as ever. He has got everything as twisted-around backwards as Hillary Clinton, who thinks the novel '1984' is about how we need to believe what the government tells us. Remember yesterday when I said that pro-abortion extremists were sounding increasingly shrill and hysterical?2nd amendment was all about having a militia available to protect the government from threat foreign or domestic w/out a standing army.

We do.
We've seen the while "punch a Nazi" narrative build and the scope creep of what defines a Nazi. Just one example.
We saw a presidential candidate declare half of her opponents supporters "irredeemable" and "deplorable." History shows us when you declare large swath of your population essentially a waste of space. There's another example.
Why would they think anyone would feel safe in such an environment?

More importantly, our courts have found gov't is not accountable for providing safety. So any argument based on gov't making things safe is based on some combination of stupidity, lies, and ignorance.
So, the courts have said you can't trade freedom for safety, since the gov't is not required to provide safety. All you can do is surrender freedom.

I think that we need to speak in terms of an armed, civil society as the deterrent to would-be dictators, or those who might (ahem) think about overthrowing the results of a lawful election. Like having a strong army in place so as not to invite aggression, and hopefully deter war.
And ask them why, in every case the very first thing the dictator demands is for the people to turn over their guns?

It's not so much "I'd rather be free than safe". It's more like "I think that in the long run, freedom is more likely to result in safety than the government's promise of safety".
To give just two examples of where this comes to light:
- blue collars used to vote Democrat because it was the "safe" thing to do. But Democrats f*cked them over.
- liberal German women vote for Merkel because they thought she would empower them and give them certain guarantees, in other words, because they prefer to be "safe". But Merkel fucked German women over, with an Islamic shaped dildo.

It's pretty much the open borders suicide clause since, if you're liberal enough, you can note that every other nation on earth has an ethnic mix that is distinct from america (not to mention a religion) and that therefore our dealings with them, such as immigration controls, are the racism and must be dealt with as Hawaiian judges see fit.
Sadly, what america needs now is some good Pinochet. The left wanted a new american body politic so they became a concierge service for anyone not American...and now here we are, it's the only way the democrats survive as a party.

Originally meant seduce someone online by pretending to be someone else.IIRC, based on the movie Catfish where a guy pretended to be a woman online and had an online relationship w/a guy as a joke.
Think the term may have been expanded to mean tricking someone by contacting/communicating with someone online/via email to make a fool of them. Think Jared Kushner's lawyer was recently "catfished" into saying something stupid.

For those of you who don't know, that means setting the front and rear sights to zero (neutral), and then adjusting them gradually (by firing at a target) to account for your and the gun's eccentricities. Our battalion sergeant major was on hand to observe. We began with just getting used to the idea of shooting bullets into a target (paper, with circles of various sizes), from 40 yards. I think it was 40 yards. Anyway, we fire 3-3 rounds groups to see how we're doing from scratch. SGM walks the line (guns are emptied and secured - they take this sh*t seriously) and I'm about 2/3s down the line. He looks at everyone's groupings. Gets to mine. Pauses, double-takes, looks at me, gives me the thumbs-up and yells, "Now that's how we do it." Keep in mind, I had not adjusted my sights yet. I had gotten groupings that looked like I had adjusted my sights and knew what I was doing. I hadn't adjusted, but I knew what I was doing. It was a great feeling to be praised like that. Thanks, Counselor Anderson!
I eventually usually qualified expert, although occasionally throughout my 12 years I only hit sharpshooter. Also, when I became an officer, I wore my marksmanship badge on my dress uniform. Every once in awhile I'd catch flack for doing so -- officers are not supposed to wear marksmanship badges on their dress uniforms. However, I had thoroughly read AR 670-1 and there was NO prohibition of officers wearing them and everything indicated officers were supposed to. I chalked it up to officers protecting those who were not good shooters. The enlisted soldiers I led always liked my no BS/not a kowtow officer attitude. :->

I note that the "this is not terrorism" has now become: He "may have been radicalized" and I note the story that the guy "paid over $100K" to some shady place in the Philippines" and "may not have acted alone"
So . . . any bets on when the connection to ISIS or Antifa (or perhaps both?) is confirmed and given to the press so they can memory hole this whole thing and the GOPe f*cktards can then NOT scream bloody murder for a ban on all immigration or refugees form majority Islamic countries, building a wall and tightened border security?

old, but interesting
http://www.benzo.org.uk/violence.htm
Aggression and violent behaviour: induced by prescribed benzodiazepine use is well documented and supported by strong anecdotal evidence.
Crime and benzodiazepines: Reports of a link between benzodiazepines and crime are growing. Reports from drug misuse agencies of benzodiazepines used specifically when committing crimes are described as "cloak of invisibility" or similar due to their behavioural effects.
34% of arrestees tested positive for benzodiazepines: A recent ADAM (Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring), pilot study monitoring drug use in arrestees in the Strathclyde and Fife areas of Scotland revealed high levels of benzodiazepines use (33%), second only to cannabis (52%). Alcohol: (32%), opiates: (31%) and methadone: (12%).
Prisons report increased aggression:
1975 - Canada 81% of inmates involved in aggressive incidents had taken diazepam (Valium) and 3.6 times as many acts of aggression occurred in inmates while on these drugs. Full Text
1978 - Utah A high level of riots, stabbings, cuttings, murders, self mutilation attempted suicide were attributed, at least in part to high consumption of benzodiazepines in a Utah State prison. Full Text
1995 - New South Wales, Australia Restriction of clonazepam (a benzodiazepine) prescription was implemented by the Corrections Health Service of New South Wales due to it causing emotionally reactive and aggressive behaviour with self-harm and suicide attempts in inmates. Full Text
1995 - Parkhurst, UK Tranquilliser prescription (mostly benzodiazepines) was reduced from 3.5kgs p.a. in 1990/91, to 0.15kgs in 1994/95. Correspondingly physical assaults by inmates on another person reduced from 5 in 1990 to 0 in 1995. Full Text

1980 - A woman stabbed her husband to death after taking prescribed doses of diazepam (Valium). After hearing expert medical evidence from Professor Michael Rawlins, that diazepam induces aggressive outbursts, the jury acquitted the defendant completely. Professor Michael Rawlins said that he believed the tragedy [murder] was probably precipitated by the excessive amount (30mg) of diazepam which the defendant had consumed in the preceding twelve-hour period before her husband's death." The Law Society Gazette, 22 July, 1987. Full Text
"Paradoxical aggressive outbursts are a recognised adverse effect of diazepam; they are probably caused by the suppression of mechanisms which normally inhibit aggressive outbursts." Professor Michael Rawlins, medical expert in court, 1980. Full Text
"A paradoxical increase in hostility and aggression may be reported by patients taking benzodiazepines. The effects range from talkativeness and excitement to aggressive and antisocial acts." British National Formulary, 2001.
"Cases of "baby-battering", wife-beating and "grandma-bashing" have been attributed to benzodiazepines." Professor C Heather Ashton, DM, FRCP, Benzodiazepines: How They Work & How to Withdraw, February 2001.

I think the minimum amount of ammunition required to get that result is on the order of 200 rds. I could see each round fired causing a max of three casualties (if fired into an are where folks are standing close to one another).
Looking at a photo of what seems to be the firing position, I see on the order of 100 pieces of brass.
I have not seen photos where the other busted out window is. That one is not a good firing position, though. I expect he didn't use that one. However, a smart cookie would bust out another window to make it harder to ID the firing position. Extra credit for making it in a separate bookable room (which he did).
Nothing above is dispositive. But, it certainly leads to more questions.

As noted above, the incidences of these types of abortions is low. There's a justification of abortion ('the violinist' analogy) which is meant to justify abortion in general. I don't think it does that, but I think it clarifies why the rarer cases are justified.

It precludes a woman risking her life carrying to term a baby she did not want and had no choice in conceiving.
It precludes the emotional turmoil of yielding the child.
It prevents the rapist from coming back and STAYING by claiming parental rights (which can and has happened).
I agree with the point that the life is innocent; conception is just that, no matter what the avenue. But this avenue was no voluntary act, and the implications are quite real and dire.

No doubt the idea that aborting a viable yet undelivered baby is OK led to those ghoulish Aussies thinking that maybe it's OK after it's born because hey, still can't live on its own, right?

stupidity, Olbermann is not only almost as stupid, but his career has
been one long downward spiral. Due to his apparently being an absolute
asshole to work with, he's gone from ESPN to MSNBC to, what, some
channel on Al Gore's now-defunct TV channel, and now he works part-time
for GQ magazine where he mostly seems to be shouting at the wall. Ever
see that picture of him draped in an American flag as he proclaims he's
"The Resistance."
Now that's pathetic.

somebody on some show on Fox last night was saying how many homes were burglarized (hot burglaries they called them because the people were home) compared to in the US. Since the perps know that no one has a gun in the UK, the number of hot burglars is extremely high, versus in the US, where it is lower, and where the burglars in the US spend a lot more time watching the house first

Hot burglaries are more profitable because you can torture the information about where the good stuff is faster than searching. Plus you get the extra thrill of rape, torture and murder as perks. Armed homeowners are such a bummer to the fun and profit. But the Dems are on the side of the thugs, always.

People may forget that administrative agencies, pre-obamacare, were limited in authority to their enabling legislation. The operative enabling legislation specifies one bullet per trigger pull as not a machine gun.
Conversely, this shows the futility of relying on centralized planners to dictate the limits of freedoms of sovereigns, be it drugs, guns, women, taxis, etc. The market, like the internet will always find a workaround, and with the market, you have profit motives compelling such workarounds.

Other than the freedom aspect of a opt-out system, I think this is bad policy in general. If one volunteers as an organ donor they're signalling they have organs worth donating; meaning they take care of themselves.
So now you will have doctors having to open people up and discover they were hard drinkers or had chemotherapy or some other such preclusive donation scenario.

My dad caught a burglar when he was home sick. The guy knocked on the door and my dad didn't answer it because he was sick. The guy jimmied a window and came in. My dad held him with a hand cannon until the cops came.
I would love to hear that recording my dad was telling the 911 operator if he moves I'm shooting him.

Question: where are the 1000s of spent casings that should be in the
pictures of the hotel room? Did they clean it up before taking pics?
Why? What else did they remove? About 600 casualties means at least 600
casings- but it is claimed there were 1000s of shots. So why isn't the
floor covered with them? Bunch of bullshit being spoon fed to a lot of
people and probably a very large cover up being attempted

A thousand 5.56 empties could probably just about fill a gallon ziplock bag. In a room/rooms that was what 1700 sqft.? Ever fired an AR and tried to police your brass? That stuff can fly 10-15 feet. I would not expect to see mountains of brass lying about, and in the pictures I did see, the pattern and density of thrown brass is about what I would expect from a fixed position.

Over the same time period we'll lose about 40,000 to a gun - half of which are suicides and half of what's left due to criminal gang violence.
So in other words, we'll abort 100-times more "inconvenient" humans than we'll loose to "senseless" "gun" violence. Every. Single. Year.

I'll have to find the numbers, but I once calculated that in any given year, if you're not a gang member and don't commit suicide, the chances of you getting killed by a gun are 0.0007%. That's the same order of magnitude of the odds of one getting killed by lightning strike in any given year.

....the kidney we planned on giving you was given to someone else, so we took one from your mom because she was a compatible donor, and she'd lived a good life, and really, she was too obese now to live a quality life, probably would have had a heart-attack in a few years....Anyway, long story short: she had a heart attack during the operation and died. Things happen, but you got the kidney you needed, amiright? Keep calm and carry on, ol' chap!

If the Constitution had specifically stated that a person has a right to only one firearm, which firearm would you choose?
M1 Garand.

They really do think they own their citizens' bodies.
Posted by: Lizzy at October 05, 2017 01:09 PM (W+vEI)
There's no "think" about it. They're outright saying so.
And since they're subjects, not citizens, maybe the Crown does own them.

Right. First the gov says we're not obligated to protect you, then they make it difficult, if not impossible, to acquire weapons you can use to defend yourself.
So what are we supposed to do?

But on the other hand, the LV sheriff mentioned in a press conference that Paddock probably had been 'radicalized'. But he didn't explain any further.
So you may be right, but I'm not ruling ISIS involvement out.

From the Daily Mail: (hope this posts correctly...otherwise it's at the link)

10:05pm: First shots fired by the suspect. This was seen on closed-circuit television from the concert venue.
10:12pm: First two officers arrive on the 31st floor and announce the gunfire is coming from directly above them.
10:15pm: The last shots are fired from the suspect per body worn camera.
10:17pm: The first two officers arrive on the 32nd floor.
10:18pm: Security officer tells the LVMPD officers he was shot and gives them the exact location of the suspect's room.
10:26-10:30pm: Eight additional officers arrived on the 32nd floor and began to move systematically down the hallway, clearing every room and looking for any injured people. They move this way because they no longer hear the gunfire of an active shooter situation.
10:55pm: Eight officers arrive in the stairwell at the opposite end of the hallway nearest to the suspect's room.
11:20pm: The first breach was set off and officers entered the room. They observed the suspect down on the ground and also saw a second door that could not be accessed from their position.
11:27pm: The second breach was set off allowing officers to access the second room. Officers quickly realized there was no one else in the rooms and announced over the radio that the suspect was down.

Police response time to any given location is public record. I've showed more than one hard lefty "the police will protect me" person official numbers that say even on a Priority One call, they're gonna wait 12 minutes for the cavalry to arrive.
I then invite them to sit quietly for 12 minutes to feel how long that is even under perfectly normal and safe conditions.

My 1894 (JM) Marlin 357 lever. I love that gun and can shoot it quite well for practical accuracy offhand. Very handy, a surprising amount of power in carbine form and very respectable capacity/rate of fire.

Why do people put signs next to their doors saying, "We don't dial 911". They protect themselves.
If we descend into anarchy as a society, I will still have freedom and safety, because I will provide it to my family through the barrel of a gun.
I'm being drastic here, but as conservatives, we protect ourselves and don't rely on someone else to do it for else.

Failing that, it seems like there was something written long ago about when it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them.....blah blah blah.

The WH, and the NRA, and others, when incidents of this sort occur, should not just issue tactical-babble - vague reasonable sounding murmurs that are designed, and always do, lead to "nothing being done". Even though nothing being done is the correct objective.
As with every other high-profile statement and moment, it's an opportunity.
Push back with facts and argument. Educate. Inertia and the bulk of the electorate is with you already, but no reason to bypass opportunities to move the ball the *other* direction.
