NYDN Gun Grabber Decides To Shoot An AR-15, Basically Wets His Skivvies

By William Teach June 15, 2016 – 8:01 am

It doesn’t matter that the Orlando ISIS loving killer did not use an AR-15 or any variant. But, he, facts don’t matter. We already have a Philly.com writer claiming it took her just 7 minutes to purchase an AR-15. It’d take longer than that to fill out the paperwork. Did she expect to be turned down during the instant background check? And it took two Huffington Post writers just “38 minutes to walk out of a gun shop with a death machine.” Yes, an AR-15. Interestingly, they surely drove to the gun shop in a a multi-ton death machine. Nothing tops this, though, from NY Daily News hysteric Gersh Kuntzman

Firing an AR-15 is horrifying, menacing and very very loud

It feels like a bazooka — and sounds like a cannon.

One day after 49 people were killed in the Orlando shooting, 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.

It’s been awhile since I fired one myself, but, it was about as bothersome as firing my Walther P22, which is a .22 caliber handgun. You want terrified? Well, more like heavily surprised? Have someone fire a Desert Eagle in the lane 6 down. Which wasn’t allowed and got the guy kicked out. They fire actual cannons at ECU Pirates football games (using blanks, obviously.) Kuntzman should go to a Civil War or Independence War re-enactment to see a real cannon.

And, if it feels like a bazooka, he should go to the gym more.

Not in my hands. 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).

I listen to heavy metal louder than an AR-15. Much, much louder.

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.

We have a saying here down south: Bless your heart. The shell casings would not be flying by your face if you’re holding the weapon correctly. The weapon is made to have little kick. One of the reasons women love to have them for self defense (which Liberal gun grabbers want to take away and replace with rape whistles). Nor is he firing an old-school black powder musket to get the sulfur odor. PTSD?

Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. In fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.

Is Kuntzman claiming that he was able to fire the weapon in automatic mode? I didn’t see that in the video at the article. Nor do they come in automatic. But, most gun grabbing liberals reading the article wouldn’t understand the lie.

Over at Bearing Arms, Mike McDaniel skewers Kuntzman, including

As a fellow member of the patriarchy, I worry about Mr. Kuntzman’s masculinity and self-image. I have, on numerous occasions, introduced females, including little girls no older than 10 and no more than 70 pounds, to the awe-inspiring power of the AR-15. Granted, they had to fire from a supported position, lacking the strength to support the 7-pound rifle for long otherwise, but after firing many rounds, their universal reaction was one of delight–they found the little rifle’s accuracy and ease of use pleasing–and not a bruise among them. The same is true of adult women, many no more than 110 pounds sopping wet.

And over at Legal Insurrection, Kemberlee Kaye notes

If a .223 rifle bruises your shoulder, you should eat more bananas.

I wonder when Kuntzman will decry the use of fully automatic weapons by the security details for Obama and Hillary?

More: Frank of Frank’s Gun Shop, where Kuntzman went, replies

Yesterday the man in this video from the NY Daily News called and asked if he could come and interview us about the basic principles of how an AR-15 works. We acknowledged his offer so that we could prove that an AR-15 is indeed a great and safe weapon as stated in the video. After the video was filmed there was another Q&A type conversation on how things work in other countries, what are some of the things others believe would be a step into the right direction of gun control. To our knowledge we did not know that Mr. Kuntzman would completely turn things around and make our establishment look like one of anti-gun advocates…..

Currently we are doing everything we can to take this article down because after reading it we are just as disgusted about it as all of you are…..

And for the record, if you get a bruised shoulder or PTSD from shooting an AR-15 you may be a Katie Couric, liberal with ought testicular fortitude

NY Times: America’s Corrosive Politics Towards Gays Is To Blame For Orlando

By William Teach June 15, 2016 – 7:11 am

So far, the NY Times Editorial Board hasn’t blamed guns for the Orlando Islamist massacre. There have been plenty of other op-eds that have done that, as well as thinly veiled opinion pieces masquerading as articles. Because the EB knows exactly what’s to blame. No, not hardcore extremist Islam. What, you think they would actually go down that road? Pfffffft

The Corrosive Politics That Threaten L.G.B.T. Americans

Omar Mateen shattered the tenuous, hard-fought sense of personal safety that many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans have begun to feel as the movement for equality has made significant gains in recent years. His bullets and the blood he left behind that early morning were a reminder that in many corners of the country, gay and transgender people are still regarded as sinners and second-class citizens who should be scorned.

Huh. It’s the fault of our citizens.

https://twitter.com/KimwithpanacheG/status/739705472786169858

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.

See? They don’t quite know what the motivation was….

https://twitter.com/Ladyred133/status/739792486176985091

…but they can sure tell you that it’s Republicans who refuse to agree with things like gay marriage and the gender confused in bathrooms with young girls.

Yet, that fight remains far from over. Since the marriage ruling, several Republican-led state legislatures and Republican governors and federal lawmakers have redoubled their fight against legal protections for people on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. So far this year, more than 200 anti-L.G.B.T. bills have been introduced in 34 states.

Yet, none of those Republicans do this

It’s hard to say how many politicians take these positions as a matter of principle and how many do so because it has proved to be an effective way in the past to raise money and turn out the vote. As the funerals are held for those who perished on Sunday, lawmakers who have actively championed discriminatory laws and policies, and those who have quietly enabled them with votes, should force themselves to read the obituaries and look at the photos. The 49 people killed in Orlando were victims of a terrorist attack. But they also need to be remembered as casualties of a society where hate has deep roots.

The NY Times, like so many other Leftist organizations and individual Leftists, is utterly unable to assign any blame what so ever to the extremist wing of Islam, for which, depending on the study, has anywhere from 10-25% believing in the hardcore version, which believes in things like hanging gays, stoning gays, whipping gays, throwing gays from buildings, etc. 52% of British Muslims want to make being gay illegal. In Muslim countries around the world, well over 3/4ths say being gay is immoral. They want Sharia law, as well. And there is a large percent of Islam that is more than willing to use force to defend Islam.

A good chunk of Muslim countries have laws that say it is illegal to be gay, and good number have law that says being gay is punishable by death.

But, hey, it is so much easier to blame all Republicans with a broad brush, rather than target the segment of Islam that is willing to

https://twitter.com/Coco1Hunter/status/742547310601588736

You can start here if you’re willing to read about and view pictures of gays being stoned to death by ISIS. Obama’s BFF’s Iran loves hanging gays. Glenn Greenwald wants people to “stop exploiting LGBT issues to demonize Islam and justify anti-Muslim policies.” Certainly, there have been some attacks done in the name of Christianity against gays, yet, the vast majority of Christians find the attacks abhorrent. Hating gays in Islam is formalized.

Why is it so difficult for Leftists to assign blame to the hardcore extremist portion of Islam? Leftists have certainly prioritized extremist Islam over LGBT.

We Now Have The First Mammal Species Wiped Out By Hotcoldwetdry Or Something

By William Teach June 14, 2016 – 5:08 pm

This has made Warmists giddy. One of their duckspeaks has finally come to pass! Of course, not giddy enough for each and every Warmist to give up their own use of fossil fuels and make their lives carbon neutral

(Guardian) Human-caused climate change appears to have driven the Great Barrier Reef’s only endemic mammal species into the history books, with the Bramble Cay melomys, a small rodent that lives on a tiny island in the eastern Torres Strait, being completely wiped-out from its only known location.

It is also the first recorded extinction of a mammal anywhere in the world thought to be primarily due to human-caused climate change.

An expert says this extinction is likely just the tip of the iceberg, with climate change exerting increasing pressures on species everywhere.

The rodent, also called the mosaic-tailed rat, was only known to live on Bramble Cay a small coral cay, just 340m long and 150m wide off the north coast of Queensland, Australia, which sits at most 3m above sea level.

This is all blamed on sea rise due to human caused climate change

In their report, co-authored by Natalie Waller and Luke Leung from the University of Queensland, the researchers concluded the “root cause” of the extinction was sea-level rise. As a result of rising seas, the island was inundated on multiple occasions, they said, killing the animals and also destroying their habitat.

Because sea rise has never happened during any of the other warm periods.

Globally, averaged sea level has risen by almost 20cm between 1901 and 2010, a rate unparalleled in any period during the last 6,000 years. But around the Torres Strait, sea level appears to have risen at almost twice the global average rate between 1993 and 2014.

20cm equals 7.874 inches, which is anything but “unparalleled”. Once again, the average sea rise over the last 7,000-8,000 years, a time period used because the great melt from the end of the last glacial age had seriously slowed, is 7 to 8 inches per century. To create an average, you take multiple numbers and divide by the total number of numbers. So, the average of 15, 1, 17, and -3 is 7.5. Holocene cool periods last longer than the warm ones, and will see small sea rise to even negative, and, since they last longer, those numbers mean that the warm periods need greater sea rise. So, if this is man’s fingerprint, that perhaps we’re actually limiting the sea rise we should be seeing.

But, facts matter little. It’s all in the duckspeak. Science is not relevant. This is politics.

Cult Of Climastrogy: Hey, Maybe We Need To Tell A Few Lies To Get People To Care

By William Teach June 14, 2016 – 10:10 am

Because telling lies would be a new thing for the CoC (via New Nostradamus of the North)

(Huffington Post) Why isn’t climate change a bigger issue in the upcoming elections in the USA and Australia? It’s barely an issue at all, and in the recent UK election, it was also rarely mentioned.

In order to avoid catastrophic climate change it’s essential that we act now, but that small fact hasn’t stopped it slipping down and off the list of what’s important to the majority of voters.

The problem can’t be with the issue’s importance. The evidence is all there, and it’s terrifying. Climate change is without a doubt the single biggest threat the human race has faced since the last ice age.

Maybe the real issue is with the wording, because ‘climate change’ just doesn’t sound that bad.

Right. That’s the problem, not shady “science” used as an excuse for Big Government policies.

So instead of ‘climate change’ what about we call it ‘extreme disasters happening right now’, ‘massive worldwide death machine’ or ‘crazy killer weather’?

You might not care about stopping ‘climate change’, but I’m sure most of us want to stop ‘crazy killer weather’.

Yet, weather has not gotten more extreme, and, besides, there’s no such thing. Weather happens. Here’s where it gets good

In order for us to start acting on climate change then, maybe we need to tell a few lies.

Well, really, it’s far too late to say Warmists should start telling lies, because this began decades ago, and has only gotten worse. And even with all the lies, distortions, manufactured data, etc, ‘climate change’ is typically last or near last on lists of things people care about.

Good News: Finding Dory To Have A Gender Confused Character!

By William Teach June 14, 2016 – 8:30 am

Were you looking to take your kids to see Finding Dory, the sequel to Finding Nemo, which opens this Friday? Have fun explaining a few things to your kids, as Disney pushes far left insanity

(UK Independent) Finding Dory will feature Disney’s first transgender character, according to lead voice actor Ellen DeGeneres.

The openly gay TV chat show host, who voices blue tang fish Dory in the upcoming Finding Nemo sequel, told USA Today: “There’s a stingray that’s becoming sting-Rhonda, so there’s a trans sting in the movie.”

DeGeneres’ revelation comes just weeks after the movie’s trailer briefly showed two women with a baby, leading fans to suggest they were a lesbian couple.

Director Andrew Stanton has remained cagey on the topic, insisting “there’s no right or wrong answer”, but DeGeneres thinks the possible LGBT representation is “a great thing”.

But, of course. A children’s movie is the perfect place to push a leftist political message. A perfect place to expose them to people who are confused to their body parts. Can’t we just let kids be kids? Where is the propriety? Liberals do not care. To them, Other People’s kids, and sometimes their own, are just little laboratories to inundate with deviant ideas.

So, perhaps skipping Finding Dory might be in order.

Of course, that’s pretty much the most Christians will do. In radical Islam, they whip gays, stone them, hang them, and throw them off buildings.

Democrats To Push Their “No Fly List” Gun Ban Again

By William Teach June 14, 2016 – 8:09 am

Most high end Democrats surely recognize that using the no fly list will do virtually nothing to stop anything, but the idea here is really to claim they are Doing Something and to satisfy their rabid anti-gun base

(Washington Post) Senate Democrats are prepping a host of gun control proposals in response to the mass shooting that killed 49 in an Orlando nightclub on Sunday, beginning with a measure to prevent suspected terrorists from buying a gun.

Democrats argue that the legislation drafted by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), which they plan to offer as an amendment to an appropriations bill this week, is the “most relevant” gun control measure they could offer in response to the Orlando incident and a “painfully obvious” opening step.

Feinstein’s legislation would prevent anyone whose name appears on a list of known or suspected terrorists – such as the “no-fly” list – from purchasing a firearm or explosives. Presently, there is no legal barrier to such individuals buying a firearm, and individuals on terror watch lists who try to buy firearms are successful in over 90 percent of cases,  according to the Government Accountability Office. The proposal also would give the attorney general the power to block firearms transfers to anyone with known or suspected links to terrorism or anyone who might use a firearm to engage in terrorism, even if that person is not already on a list.

One of the big problems here is that US Citizens often have no idea that they are on any sort of list, are often on the list by mistake (remember, Senator Ted Kennedy was on the no fly list and had a tough time getting off it), and there are no mechanisms for getting off it, much less finding out why one is on it. It is the Big Government solution, which blows off all 4th and 5th Amendment protections. And 9th. Due process has gone out the window, as has petition for redress of grievance.

Funny thing is, Republicans had a viable, Constitutional alterative, as the Weekly Standard noted yesterday

As THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported back in December, Senate Republicans proposed alternative legislation that required the government to establish “probable cause”—the same standard used to obtain a search warrant—to deny the sale of a gun:

The Democratic proposal relies on a secret list and mere suspicion to strip some Americans of their constitutional rights. It provides no process for Americans wrongly placed on the list to get their names removed. The FBI is already alerted during the criminal background check process anytime someone on the watch list tries to purchase a gun, and it is already illegal for almost all of the people on the list to buy a gun. According to the National Counterterrorism Center, only 25,000 of the 1.1 million people on the watch list are U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, and the Gun Control Actgenerally prohibits both illegal aliens and legal aliens who have “been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa” from buying guns. There have nevertheless been some high profile cases of innocent U.S. citizens—including former senator Ted Kennedy and The Weekly Standard‘s Stephen F. Hayes—being erroneously placed on the terror watch list.

Remember, that is what Democrats are pushing again

What’s been lost in the debate is the fact that Republicans have an alternativeto the Democratic proposal. Under Republican legislation sponsored by Senator John Cornyn, the federal government may delay the sale of a firearm to someone on the watch list for up to 72 hours. During that time, if the government can show a judge there’s “probable cause”—the same legal standard used to obtain a search warrant—that the individual is plotting terrorism, then the gun sale is denied outright. The measure received 55 votesin the Senate. It secured the backing of staunch conservatives like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio as well as moderate Republicans Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski and moderate Democrats Joe Manchin and Joe Donnelly. The only Republican to oppose it was Mark Kirk.

The Democratic bill sponsored by Senator Diane Feinstein, by contrast, simply allows the federal government to ban anyone on the watch list from buying a gun. The government’s decision may be challenged in court by the prospective gun buyer, but the government’s decision will be sustained if a “preponderance of evidence” indicates that the attorney general has a “reasonable belief” that the prospective gun buyer may be engaged in terrorism.

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.

The Democratic push is for ultimate government control, where bureaucrats can simply block people for nebulous reasons, making it virtually impossible to remove the restriction. Democrats do not care. They idea here is not to stop Islamic terrorism, it’s to restrict the 2nd Amendment Right of as many citizens as possible. We can tell because they will offer more gun control laws, without a wit of radical Islamist control, as we switch back to the Washington Post article

Democrats on Monday said they will also be looking to impose a ban on assault weapons as part of their Orlando response. They expect to present that proposal after addressing Feinstein’s measure.

They also are planning legislation to stiffen background checks, deal with mental instability and address spousal abuse. On Monday, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) released a bill that would prevent people who have committed a hate crime from purchasing a firearm.

So, just a catchall of gun control

What about the radical Muslim control? Where’s that?

Hillary Says People Under FBI Scrutiny Shouldn’t Be Able To Buy A Gun

By William Teach June 13, 2016 – 6:35 pm

I suggest that people under FBI scrutiny shouldn’t be allowed to have security which carries firearms, because they are like totally a big danger to everyone

(ABC News) In her first rally since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton blasted regulations that allowed a lone gunman to purchase weapons that he used to kill 49 people in Orlando over the weekend — a slaughter that represented the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

“We may have our disagreements about gun safety regulations, but we should all be able to agree on a few essential things,” Clinton said, speaking to a crowd gathered at the Cleveland Industrial Innovation Center. “If the FBI is watching you for a suspected terrorist links, you shouldn’t be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked.”

OK, she has a point. Right? Right? Of course, if this person is a US citizen, protected by the Constitution, well, then, if they haven’t broken any laws, should they have their Constitutional Rights suspended? If they are a non-citizen, they have zero right to purchase any firearm.

In reality, you can’t just go and buy a gun with no questions asked, as moronic liberals like to claim. You need a background check. And the Orlando jihadi passed said background checks prior to becoming radicalized.

And, since Hillary is under criminal investigation by the FBI, she would possibly be denied.

BTW, who has been president for the last 7+ years? Obama has zero problem using Executive Orders for just about everything. Why not for tightening up background checks? I guess he doesn’t care.
