The IRS scandal, is a direct attack on the American people.

Is the IRS scandal the worst political scandal in American history? I say “yes.”

Internal Revenue Service

When it comes to the IRS’s ongoing, repressive behavior against conservative groups, you’re likely to hear different verdicts:  The hard Left says, of course, that this is a molehill that the Republicans are scandalously trying to turn into a scandal.  (The New York Times perfectly exemplifies this line of thinking.)  Others on the Left admit incompetence, but refuse to assign moral blame.  Conservatives are willing to assign moral blame but think that no one really cares.

I believe that everyone should care because what we’re seeing now is a new type of scandal in American history, and the biggest crime a sitting administration has ever committed against the American people.  I wrote about it at Mr. Conservative, although the headline there focuses on the IRS’s probing into people’s prayers.  (Thinking about that, its worth remembering that Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled in an age when church and state were one, refused to “make windows into men’s souls.”  The IRS is not so doctrinally picky.)

Anyway, here’s the post I wrote for Mr. Conservative:

**************

There’s been a lot of debate swirling amongst the pundits lately. Is the Watergate cover-up worse than the Benghazi cover-up or vice versa? Is the only scandal that matters the Justice Department’s decision to tap Associated Press phones, because that’s the only one that the media will care about? What did Obama know and when did he know it?

Ignore all that. The absolute worst scandal that’s emerged lately, and the worst administration scandal in American history is the IRS scandal. Why? Because you, the People, became the targets of a comprehensive federal government effort to stifle dissent, one made using the government’s overwhelming and disproportionate policing and taxing powers.

All of the other scandals, going back to Andrew Johnson’s post-Civil War scandals, Warren G. Harding’s 1920s Teapot Dome scandal, Nixon’s Watergate, Reagan’s Iran-Contra, and Clinton’s Oval Office sexcapades have actually been narrowly focused acts of cronyism, garden-variety political chicanery, or personal failings. It’s been insider stuff.

The IRS scandal, by contrast, is a direct attack on the American people. Right now, Progressives throughout America are pretending that this scandal doesn’t matter: “Obama wasn’t involved.” “Tea Partiers had it coming because they’re all corrupt.” “Obama would have won the election anyway.” “It was just a coincidence that the only groups that had their applications scrutinized, sometimes for years, were politically conservative. It means nothing that, when one group changed its name to sound Progressive, its application was approved in only three weeks.” “This is just a bureaucratic snafu.” “It’s a few rogue agents in Ohio.”

Those who offer these excuses are either morally flawed themselves or delusional idiots. Pastor Martin Niemoller, who once supported the Nazi party, finally and famously figured things out after World War II:

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Catholic.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

Once a government gets the bit between its teeth and starts targeting special interest groups, that is the end of freedom, not just for those first groups targeted, but for everyone.

Okay, that was the throat-clearing. Now it’s time to add the latest chapter in the long list of examples showing that the IRS engaged in a politically motivated witch-hunt against people who don’t toe the Progressive/Democrat party line:

The Thomas More Society (a Catholic organization) says that an IRS office in California ordered a group called “Christian Voices for Life of Fort Bend County, Texas” to detail the meaning and content of the prayers they offered. That was not an isolated event. IRS agents demanded the same information from “Coalition of Life of Iowa,” which was required to explain what went on at the group’s prayer meetings.

When Rep. Aaron Schock (R., Ill.) asked outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller whether these were appropriate questions, Miller didn’t even have the courage to say “no.” Instead, he said meaninglessly that “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either.”

Here’s thumbnail sketch of just a few of the other politically-motivated attacks the IRS has made against American citizens. We can expect many more revelations to come:

1. The IRS official who over saw the agency’s effort to stifle political dissent is now in charge of enforcing ObamaCare, which will account for up to one-sixth of the American economy.

2. The IRS gave confidential financial documents from conservative non-profit organizations to a far-Left political activist group.

3. The IRS (which will police ObamaCare) stole 10 million medical records, including the records for all California judges.

4. The IRS blocked applications for or otherwise harassed almost 500 conservative non-profit groups – and there’s every reason to believe that this number will continue to rise.

5. The IRS insisted that, for a pro-Life group to obtain tax-exempt status, it would have to promote abortion.

6. The IRS has been mining Facebook for private data about people who dissent from Obama’s party line.

7. The IRS tried to force a conservative non-profit education group to turn over the names of students (mostly minors) who benefited from its services.

As for those who say that the whole IRS affair becomes irrelevant if no one can prove that Obama is not directly involved, that’s completely wrong. Of course, if the president was involved, it shows that he is the most corrupt, tyrannical leader in American history, and that every branch of the executive division in our government has been tainted and must be cleaned out. And as far as Obama is concerned, if he wasn’t involved, he is a man too incompetent and weak to hold the job of national chief executive.

But think about what it means if Obama wasn’t involved,

finish this powerful piece

Mark Levin: Obama Scandals Are Example of All Powerful Government – It’s Not a Scandal, It’s Tyranny (Video)

Mark Levin went off as news broke this week on the massive IRS targeting scandal.

“The left has a totalitarian mindset and it seeks to devour the individual and the civil society… Our country has entered the age of post-Constitutional soft tyranny.”

War News Updates is a very good news aggregator for all topics military but they do cover other areas at times. Here’s their take on the IRS coverup that is ongoing:

I am not an American …. just a Russian national who is now a Canadian citizen looking from the outside in …. and I am just shaking my head. There is something terribly wrong in the U.S. right now …. when the IRS has been politicized to go after a specific political group, it does not take a ‘political scientist and historian’ to know that you are entering a very dark place …. and being one who grew up in such a place (the former Soviet Union) …. trust me on this one …. it is a place that you do not want to find yourself living in.

clarity from IMAO

So the IRS is targeting conservatives.

Well, not the IRS. Low-level employees in Cincinnati. Because the IRS is structured such that any low-level employee can go on a personal political vendetta. Interns are ordering the audits of their neighbors all the time. That’s just how it is.

And it’s obviously no big deal because no disciplinary action was taken. But we can rest assured everyone involved learned an important life lesson.

So let’s move on.

Hmm… you don’t seem to have moved on. You still seem a bit angry and concerned about a government agency specifically being used to crush political opposition. Well, I hope you’re not being all paranoid about the government being out to get you. Obama recently warned some college graduates against being all worried about government tyranny, and Obama has good reason to warn you against that because worrying about government tyranny is the exact sort of thing that will get you audited. Or, when Obamacare is in full force, it will be the attitude that gets you denied life saving health care.

So have faith in government. Or it will get you.

portrait of a bad american

A savior was born at the White House, he speaketh to us:

 

wh_twitter_dearleader.jpgCarry on and remember there are no red states or blue states but the United States of Bronco Bama and our dear leader Bronco Bama has the Presidential Seal of the fallen Eagle to prove it.

Update: Dear leaders White House twitter account’s background image has a fallen Eagle as in upside down.

Don’t see it? Well then look below the fold:

whitehousetwitter_eagleupsidedown.jpg 

barky has himself anointed as the “north star.

the demonrat party denies God three times at the convention.

news of late term abortion has reached a fever pitch showing the perpetrators virtually sacrificing the infants, sometimes even mocking God and the bible while in the middle of the act.

obama sees no problem with these human sacrifices and calls on God (which god I dont know) to bless planned parenthood for the service of killing full term crying babies.

barky lies about bengazi pinning it on a video critical of islam and the monster mohamid, saying at the UN~~~“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

he said that knowing it had nothing to do with bengazi. let that sink in. he elevated islam above all else with that qoute.

Justice Department data shows massive decrease in firearms homicides as gun ownership explodes

MILLER: Bloomberg, Obama and liberal media muzzled about gun crime decline

Justice Department data shows massive decrease in firearms homicides

related deaths were way down. President Obama has ignored it and continued to pursue more gun-control laws. Their reaction shows how this news screws up their agenda to keep the decline in gun-related homicides a secret from Americans so that they can pass restrictions on the Second Amendment.

The Justice Department released a study Tuesday that showed firearm-related homicides in the U.S. annually declined 39 percent from 18,253 in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011. Nonfatal firearm crimes declined 69 percent from 1.5 million to 467,300 in that time frame.

Mr. Bloomberg, who is usually very vocal on any gun-related news, fell mute. Neither he, nor his usually very active organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has said anything gun related this week. A spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg’s group did not respond to a request for comment. If the news had been that a bunch of people were shot, you can be assured that Mr. Bloomberg would have been in front of the microphones.

The president has not celebrated the good news. Quite the opposite. After learning that Americans are safer now than ever from criminals with guns, Mr. Obama launched a campaign for more gun laws. He tweeted from his Barack Obama account: “This is big: @OFA volunteers are about to deliver 1.4 million signatures to Congress demanding expanded background checks for gun sales.” OFA stands for Organizing for America, which is Mr. Obama’s political campaign group.

Mr. Obama followed up to tell followers to watch OFA’s account for “more coverage of the gun violence petition delivery to Congress.” He used the hashtag #NotBackingDown. By that he means to keep pushing more restrictions on the Second Amendment. On Wednesday, he took House Democrats to dinner to plot how to pass gun-control laws.

The reason they are hiding now is because they don’t want the public know that crime has gone down at the same time that gun ownership and carry permits have increased. The have — until now — been effective in hiding these facts.

On the same day that Justice released its report, Pew Research Center released a new poll that found that 56 percent of Americans believe gun crimes is higher now than 20 years ago and 26 percent thought it was the same. Only 12 percent knew that it was lower. The most dramatic decline was in the mid-1999s, but has steadily decreased since. The survey showed the public wasn’t that much more knowledgeable on recent crime data. Asked about trends in firearms crimes “in recent years,” 45 percent thought the number had gone up, 39 percent thought it was the same. Just 10 percent were correct that it has gone down 13 percent in the most recent five years.

David Keene, who just stepped down this week after a two-year term as NRA president, called it “amazing” that, despite the evidence, the public continues to believes homicide rates are increasing.

“Lincoln said you can’t fool all the people all the time,” Mr. Keene told me Thursday. “But Obama, his friends and their allies in the media are counting on a phony narrative to fool people long enough to force through their ‘solutions’ to ‘an epidemic of violence’ that simply doesn’t exist.”

The media is largely to blame for this misconception. The old saying about TV news — “If it bleeds, it leads” — explains the hyper-coverage of any gun-related death compared to other news events. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December was horrific because the victims were innocent school children, but it was a very rare event and not a sign of an increased in mass shootings. Nevertheless, the media went wall-to-wall coverage for weeks and Mr. Obama and his money man, Mr. Bloomberg, used the terrible crime to launch his second-term agenda for an “assault weapon” ban.

There is also an anti-gun bias in the mainstream media. While those of us who cover Second Amendment issues know that homicide by firearm has decreased steadily from looking at the FBI’s annual data, most don’t take the time to do that. It took a study specifically putting that data together combined with a new poll on the topic to get even print media to report it. The evening news shows ignored the news.

The gun grabbers use scare tactics to push their agenda. The American people should know that they are safer now than ever and have fellow gun owners to thank for that.

statism tyranny

we are there.

our government has grown to the point that its boot is on the neck of just about everything you can think of.

we have gone over the curve, we now have less people self employed than in any time in our history, less freedom. less prosperity,  less of everything, except government. we have more of that. is anyone surprised that as we have been forced to be smaller the government has grown larger? the leach class now believes they own us and our labors. they are entitled to take anything and everything from us as they see fit. its our job to produce and they because they are our elite masters, it is to them to have any and all that they want.including all the descisions in our lives about us our children, our property, our businesses.

the government the democrat party, the university sytem and our enemedia are all one. they serve the same purpose and that purpose is to expand government and the leftist religion. leftism is the state religion and it will brook no dissent and no other religion. well, except islam.

the IRS, has been putting a boot on the neck of any political citizens groups opposed to government growth at the expense of its citizenry, it has been defending the democrat party and the government and attacking political enemies.

the enemedia has done everything they can to protect the obama administration becuase they are an arm of the democrat party

CBS News President, Brother of Obama National Security Official

the IRS has been doing the same because they are an arm of the democrat party.

they push an agenda a religious edict of political correctness. step outside the boundaries of the new leftist political correctness statist religion and you WILL suffer the consequences. but in the real world the consequences of allowing political correctness to reign is horrific things like bengazi, or the tsarnev brothers blowing up the boston marothon while collecting welfare and using their welfare ebt cards to buy the components with which to kill us

The Rise and Fall of Pretty Much Everyone

Protein Wisdom:

I realize we’re all supposed to pretend that we don’t recognize the enormous and surreal contradictions that are each and every day foisted on us by a cynical, self-serving government that drafts and forces upon us policy based on a rhetorical cocktail of emotional appeals and divisive identity politics, garnished with the tripartite tactic of shame, malign, and shun — everyone everyday is, at any given moment, either a racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, nativist, chauvenist, misogynist, misandrist, ageist, or science denier — a person who wants to punish autistic children, destroy the atmosphere, pollute the ground water, deny the dignity of life to silverfish and chickens, allow instruments of death to wonder the street military-style, where of their own volition they mow down defenseless toddlers — and the only way to avoid this, the only path to redemption, is to embrace the anti-foundationalism of the statists and learn to burnish your personal bona fides by adopting their ideological line.

We as a nation have been so at war with ourselves for so long that now, at last, none of us are fit to hold even a shovel, lest we do evil with it. Our only hope for redemption lies somewhere behind a ordinary looking door in an ordinary government building labeled with a rather ordinary looking Room 101. Where our colorless pre-approved hopes and dreams can installed by committee.

Islam Coexists?

Islam Coexists?

 

 

There is an enormous irony contained in the Boston Marathon bombing. When the jihadi Tsarnaev brothers car jacked a Mercedes, it had a “Coexist” bumper sticker.

The Coexist bumper sticker is the religious symbol of the multicultural crowd — you know — all religions are the same. Well, the leading symbol of those who want to Coexist is the star and crescent Islam. And exactly how well has Islam coexisted with all of the others? What kind of neighbor has Islam been over history?

Start with Mohammed. We know an enormous amount about Mohammed as a neighbor to Kafirs (non-Muslims), pagans, Jews and Christians.

When Mohammed was in Mecca before he became a Muslim, he was a good neighbor who was prosperous and helped to settle disputes. But, that all changed when he became the prophet of Allah. Once he became a public preacher of Islam, he became an irritant to his neighbors. You see, not only did Mohammed know what was right, he demanded that everybody do everything his way, Allah’s way. He was a neighbor who was always right and you were always wrong. Not only were you wrong, but your parents and grandparents were wrong. Mohammed no longer settled arguments; he created arguments. After 13 years of this, the Meccans told Mohammed to leave Mecca.

So he went to the town of Medina, which was half Jewish. And what kind of neighbor was Mohammed to the Jews? Put briefly, two years later, Medina was Judenrein (cleansed of Jews). When he arrived, there were three tribes of Jews. In rapid order, the first tribe was driven out of town, bereft of their goods. Then the second tribe of Jews was exiled. They were lucky. The last of the Jewish tribes suffered the most. The women were enslaved and sold wholesale for money to purchase horses and arms for jihad. For the rest of his life, Mohammed used slavery to help finance his jihad. The children were kidnapped and adopted into Muslim families to be raised as Muslims. Then the 800 male Jews were all beheaded.

But wait. Mohammed was not through coexisting with the Jews. Later he left Medina and went to Khaybar and attacked them. Mohammed crushed them, took their wealth and put them to work under the Sharia to work as dhimmis and give him half of what they earned.

That was how Mohammed coexisted with the Jews.

But Mohammed was not through with coexisting with the Arabians. He attacked the Meccan caravans. His jihadists killed, kidnapped, stole, assassinated and fought the pagan Arabs at every turn. Mohammed’s coexistence policy with the Arabs was jihad. This went on until every Arab became a Muslim.

After Mohammed has made every soul in Arabia convert to Islam, he turned his coexistence policy to the Christians north of Arabia in Syria. He attacked the Christians the losers became dhimmis just like the Jews.

Dhimmis are the way that the Sharia allows Kafirs to coexist within a Muslim society. The dhimmi is a third class non-citizen who pays special taxes and has no real civil rights. A dhimmi could not testify against a Muslim in court, for instance.

Look at how Islam coexisted with Africa. A coexistence clue is that Arabic has one word, “abd”, that means both black slave and African. Context must supply which meaning is used. Islam ran the slave trade on the West coast, East coast and Mediterranean coasts of Africa. Islam sold every slave that was brought to the Americas. Conservative estimates are that 120 million Africans were killed in the jihad that produced all of the slaves in Africa.

How did Islam coexist with the Buddhists in what is now Afghanistan? Jihad annihilated every single Buddhist and their libraries and monasteries.

There is a massive data base of the coexistence between Islam and the rest of the world at thereligionofpeace.com. It catalogs more than 20,000 jihad attacks around the world since 9/11 2001. Here is a chart of the data of the top 4 nations as victims of jihad:

Put another way, this is how Islam coexists today with Jews, Buddhists, Christians and Hindus. It practices jihad against all non-Muslims, Kafirs.

The idea of coexist has a social ring to it, we’re all one big happy family. But how do we talk about all religions and not get into which one is right or best? Well, there is an easy way to do it. If you are not a member of a religion, the only thing you care about is how you are treated by those who belong to that religion. In short, you only care about the ethics and character of the adherent.

All of the world’s religions have an ethical code that is rooted in the Golden Rule. Islam does not have a Golden Rule. Mohammed’s life is the perfect example of how not to be a good neighbor. How do you coexist with a neighbor who has the ethical choice of jihad of murder and deceit?

What do religious leaders in American think about coexisting with Islam? They love it. Coexist is the mental mush that fills the heads of the useful idiots that go to the Family of Abraham religious dialogues. The ministers and rabbis who go to these dialogs know as much about Islam as what is found on the Coexist bumper sticker. Really, their ignorance is astounding. They are there to coexist and the imam is there to dominate. Dhimmi Christians and Jews want to tie, the Muslim wants to win.

But the mental mush of coexistence is not just in the heads of the dhimmi religious leaders, it also fills the heads of law enforcement and military. Under Bush and Obama, all of those who actually know something about Islam inside the military and law enforcement have been eliminated. FBI and military training files have been purged to satisfy the Muslim Brotherhood. So our protectors are forbidden to study the war doctrine of political Islam. They are prevented from naming the enemy and studying them.

There is only one way to coexist with Islam over time. Islam must submit to Kafir civilization and we must never submit to Islam, not even in the smallest detail. This means we must all know the smallest details of Islam and that begins with the knowledge of Mohammed and his wars against all Kafirs.

Washington Post Breaks Benghazi Scandal Wide Open

—Ace

You’re weird and fringe if you’re tweeting about Benghazi, a study shows.

Thanks to Demographics Pro, a Twitter analysis firm, we have some vague idea of who’s tweeting the most: According to their report, #Benghazi tweeters are 58.3% male, with an average age of 52.6 years and a median income of $61,800 (“within the top 20 percent of overall Twitter distribution,” the report adds).The tweeters are also overwhelmingly white and married, according to Demographics Pro; they also like Chick-fil-A and Walmart — two brands most often associated with conservatives.

I wonder what Demographics Pro would say about people tweeting about gay marriage or gun control?

This is an extremely obvious and odious media tactic — to portray those on its political side as Just Like You, and those on the opposite side as Not Like You. The Other.

Whenever the media covers an anti-war protest or a pro-choice rally, they throw out a diverse rainbow of descriptions of attendees.

You’ve seen this sentence a thousand times before: “They come from all walks of life — grandmothers, young mothers, carpet installation workers, policemen, soldiers, teachers, doctors, retirees, college students, and the occasional activist.”

Note that what that description of the attendees of a leftwing event is attempting to do — by throwing out a very broad spectrum of the human experience and associating it with the cause, it is attempting to make you see yourself in the people there, to trigger some feeling of empathy, of sympatico, to see that these people are your neighbors, your coworkers, your family and your friends.

They’re Just Like You.

But when the media is hostile to a cause, it attempts the exact opposite. It attempts to paint the supporters of a cause to which it is hostile in the most reductivist and restricted demographic terms possible. They attempt to paint these people as a very narrow sliver of the human experience, so that as few people as possible will see themselves in it.

This is the Not Like You treatment.

Leftist Media Gets Tough Against ‘Terrorists’

Every word deserves my emphasis:

I have seen the light. After all these years, I now agree that it’s fruitless to give the benefit of the doubt to people who are so obviously corrupt, so clearly malevolent, so bent on hurting innocent people for their own sick gain.No more due process in the clear-cut case of insidious terrorism. When the facts are so clearly before all Americans, for the whole world to see, why bother with this country’s odious and cumbersome system of justice? Send the guilty monsters directly to Guantanamo Bay for all eternity and let them rot in their own mental squalor.

So, about whom is this leftist columnist, Dave Perry, writing? Homegrown Islamic terrorists? Al Qaeda? HAMAS? Radicalized American Muslims who kill their children for becoming ‘too Western’? Unidicted co-conspirators who fund Jihadists? Fans of Anwar al-Awlaki who plot to kill Americans? Mosque leaders who preach violence against defenseless civilians?

No, Dave isn’t writing about any of those. He is writing that about me. And about you. And about anyone who supports and defends the 2nd Amendment. He is writing about NRA members. He wants to imprison us, without due process or trial, for no other reason than the fact we exercise our Constitutional rights.

We are the worse the left can imagine. We are the terrorists in their mind, in Dave’s mind.

Our insistence on legally owning weapons is worse than flying planes into buildings or blowing the legs off innocent people during a marathon. Teaching our children how to properly handle a rifle is worse than killing our children for not wearing a headscarf. Arming our women to defend themselves against rape or violence is worse than enslaving them, than taking away their identity and their dignity, than reducing them to incubators to be discarded when no longer useful. Teaching our loved ones to stay alive and to survive is worse than teaching them to martyr themselves while killing civilians. Self-reliance and freedom is worse than subjugation and oppression.

To leftists like Dave, war criminals in Guantanamo Bay deserve all rights afforded to citizens, but we NRA members should be rounded up and sent to concentration camps without due process. We should be in prison and left to die never again seeing the light of day, while perpetrators of Islamic terrorism live free.

This article is an insight into the mind of the left. To them, the real terrorists are those who stand up to tyranny. To them, the least deserving of Americans are the ones most willing to fight for our rights. To them, the biggest threat to their American utopia are those who wish to preserve American values.

two stories that seem to be linked?

Two Million Guns On Backorder!

Poll Finds 29 Percent Of U.S. Voters Think “Armed Revolution” Might Be Needed…

That dribbling sound you hear is liberals across America peeing their pants.

Via Fox News:

We knew distrust of government was high. But a new poll shows that suspicion reaching new levels.

According to a survey from Fairleigh Dickinson University, nearly a third of registered voters — 29 percent — believe an “armed revolution” might be necessary in the next few years in order to protect liberties.

The poll from the university’s PublicMind explored perceptions regarding Congress’ latest gun control push as well as the Sandy Hook mass shooting. That legislative push, launched in the wake of the Connecticut shooting, fizzled last month after the Senate blocked a bill that would have expanded background checks.

The poll showed 50 percent of voters still believe Congress should pass laws to protect the public from gun violence, while 39 percent say the opposite. But there is a huge partisan divide. Among Republicans, 65 percent don’t see new laws as necessary.

And the survey could help explain why applications for gun permits have hit record highs and retailers report ammo has been flying off the shelves. Not only are gun owners worried about new gun laws, but the poll suggests some voters think a revolution could be on the horizon.

Asked whether an armed revolution might soon be necessary to protect liberties, 29 percent said yes.

Zero Hedge reports good news and bad news. The good news is that Ruger shipped more than 500,000 guns in one quarter for the first time in history. The bad news is that Ruger has more than two million guns on backorder.

Briefly quoting the financial markets watcher, Zero Hedge’s Tyler Durden:

Whether it is due to the recent governmental attempt to enforce assorted gun controlling measures in the aftermath of the Newtown, CT shooting, or, merely driven by the same catalyst that saw a surge in gun sales four years ago, namely the presidential election, one thing is certain: America is weaponizing itself at an unheard of pace, with both Sturm, Ruger shipments and units produced surpassing 500,000 each in one quarter for the first time in history.

Indeed we are weaponizing ourselves at a record pace. And if the guns were available, Americans would be buying 20 to 25 million new guns a year. Unfortunately, the guns are not available. Fortunately, only those political factions whose future depends on a disarmed America are uncomfortable with the thought.
