Holder
“But, if neither the criminals NOR THE POLICE [emphasis mine – JP] have guns, peace and the process of healing will have a much greater chance of coming to life. Violence is just not the way to go, ever.” — contemptuous US Attorney General Eric Holder, who goes nowhere without a contingent of armed guards
On the other hand:
“One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that ‘violence begets violence,’ I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure — and in some cases I have — that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.” — Jeff Cooper
“Violence is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and valorous feeling which believes that nothing is worth violence is much worse. Those who have nothing for which they are willing to fight; nothing they care about more than their own personal safety; are miserable creatures who have no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of those better than themselves.” — Gary L. Griffiths, Chief Instructor, Advanced Force Tactics, Inc. (Paraphrasing John Stuart Mill)
Snoop
Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., best known as Snoop Dogg or Snoop Lion (whose parents are from Mississippi), claims to be some sort of “artist,” but is in fact a druggie, gangster, pimp, pothead, felon, alleged murderer, member of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, and persona non grata in the UK, Australia and Norway. Now he thinks he’s an investment adviser (unlicensed, I’m sure) and is involved in a PR campaign to persuade you to divest your portfolio of any gun related investments. Broadus is also a gun criminal several times over, and is a prohibited by federal law from possessing a gun.
Most felons are in favor of gun control. Gee, I wonder why?
New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, abetted by Snoop’s group, States United to Prevent Gun Violence, set up a fake New York City gun shop to shame would-be gun buyers. It appears that they were actually violating New York’s SAFE Act by having prohibited facsimile guns there.
Schumer
Gun-banning US Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is now calling for a federal ban of green laser pointers, because “green lasers are more damaging than other colors,” “could be used by terrorists,” and “are 20 to 30 times stronger than other lasers and can travel faster.”
Obama
The “transparent” Obama Administration is instead going under the radar by removing a federal regulation that subjects its Office of Administration to the Freedom of Information Act, making official a policy under Presidents Bush and Obama to reject requests for records to that office.
Islamic terrorists
All four Republican members of Mississippi’s federal delegation were in attendance as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently outlined to a joint session of Congress the threats posed not only to Israel, but to the US and the rest of the world, by Islamic radicals and the possibility of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon (with active assistance by the current US Administration). Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson joined other liberal Democrats in refusing to attend Netanyahu’s address.
Here are a couple of write-ups on the situation: here and here
We also have a report that American officials have confirmed that Iranian military brass have endorsed (in military documents) a nuclear electromagnetic pulse explosion that would attack our power system in 20 different locations. The US has responded by threatening sanctions against Israel. That is not a typo.
