Doctors Vs Gunowners, Democrats Unite. We must Ban the use of Doctors.

Doctors

1. The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
2. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
3. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Now think about this:

Guns

1. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that’s 80 million)
2. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups is 1,500.
3. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, ‘Guns don’t kill people, doctors do.’

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

(04-09) 17:19 PDT SAN FRANCISCO — The state Supreme Court dealt a final blow Wednesday to San Francisco’s voter-approved ban on handguns, rejecting the city’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.

The court’s unanimous order was a victory for the National Rifle Association, which sued on behalf of gun owners, advocates and dealers a day after the measure passed with 58 percent of the vote in November 2005. The initiative has never taken effect.

The ordinance, Proposition H, would have forbidden San Francisco residents to possess handguns, exempting only law enforcement officers and others who needed guns for professional purposes. It would have also prohibited the manufacture, sale or distribution of any type of firearms or ammunition in San Francisco.

Lower courts ruled that the measure interfered with a statewide system of gun regulation, which bars certain types of weapons and allows others. The rulings did not address the scope of the constitutional right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, the focus of a pending U.S. Supreme Court case involving a handgun ban in Washington, D.C.

The state courts recognized that “law-abiding citizens are part of the solution, not part of the problem of violent crime,” said Chuck Michel, lawyer for the plaintiffs in the NRA suit. “The authority of local cities to over-regulate firearms is very limited.”

Alexis Thompson, spokeswoman for City Attorney Dennis Herrera, said the court’s action was disappointing.

“As violence continues to be a pervasive problem in our city, we hope that we can explore other ways to abate the prevalence of handguns on our streets,” she said.

In seeking state Supreme Court review, Herrera’s office urged the justices to declare that “local governments retain significant, meaningful … power to protect their residents against gun violence.”

The city’s lawyers said the use of guns in San Francisco homicides is rising, accounting for 61 percent of all killings in 2001 and 83 percent in 2005, and is particularly high in poor and minority neighborhoods. Gun violence costs San Francisco at least $31.2 million a year for hospital care, police and fire response and jail expenses, the city said.

But the courts said the ordinance was beyond the powers of local government.

Upholding a judge’s June 2006 ruling, the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco said state law left room for some municipal gun control - such as bans on the sale or possession of firearms on public fairgrounds - but “when it comes to regulating firearms, local governments are well advised to tread lightly.”

The court relied on its own 1982 ruling striking down a San Francisco ordinance that would have prohibited handgun possession by anyone in the city limits. Prop. H drafters sought to comply with the ruling by limiting the ban to city residents.

In a 3-0 ruling Jan. 9, the appeals court said state law allows law-abiding Californians to possess handguns in their homes and businesses and lets them request a concealed-weapons permit or a judge’s permission to carry guns in public - authority that leaves no room for a local handgun ban.

The court also said a 1999 state law banning the sale of the cheap pistols known as Saturday night specials, and setting safety standards for legal firearms, implicitly prohibited local governments from outlawing all handguns.

The appeals judges also refused San Francisco’s request to allow enforcement of Prop. H’s ban on the manufacture or sale of rifles and shotguns, saying the city must first rewrite the measure to narrow its scope.

The case is San Francisco vs. Fiscal, S160968.

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap - life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.”

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than “4″.

25. You can’t miss fast enough to win.

Got this in an email today. Man does this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Shooting in Butte , Montana

Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders; Butte Montana November 5th.

Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.

It seems these crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine.

Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father’s room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun.

Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11 -year-old’s knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive.

It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he had taken from another home invasion robbery.That victim, 50-year-old David Burien of Pipestone, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.

The sheriff said there were no charges pending against Patrica Harrington. In fact in this area she is looked upon as a role model.

Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS,PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news….

Thought for the Day: Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”.

Someone sent this to me in am email.. it made me chuckle.

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner? Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrat’s Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the GLOCK have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1 ? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

……………………………………………………………..

Republican’s Answer:

BANG!

………………………………………………………….

Southerner’s Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click….. (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click

Daughter: ‘Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?’

Son: ‘Can I shoot the next one!’

Wife: ‘You ain’t taking that to the Taxidermist!

Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and finds many toys and hi-cap mags under the tree!

When talking about gun safety, it is hard to accept anything less than your own personal rules for yourself. For example, my mom thinks that gun safety means turn your head and pretend they are not there, and if you absolutely HAD to touch it for the most extreme reasons and nobody is available to do it for you, then you are to handle it like it is a loaded mouse trap (a finger on each side and touching the least amount of metal as possible). That was a long description for a short point. Everyone has their own opinion of what is acceptable firearm safety.

I am ok that different people have different standards of what is acceptable. Some keep a loaded shotgun under their bed while others lock every weapon up for safety. I think it is extremely important to practice situational safety. I personally don’t see the point in having a home defense weapon if it is locked up and not readily accessible in a time of need, but at the same time if you have a little kid or even untrained friends for that matter, you are probably going to see things in a different light.

I bring this up because recently I had a wake up call, and it has stuck in my head like glue since it happen about a month and a half ago… Read more »

Decided today to post about one of my biggest pet peeves, “No Guns Allowed” signs. I seriously don’t get it. How can an adult, who I assume is educated beyond the 12th grade since they are business owners, believe that these signs actually deter crime? How does one honestly and truly believe that a criminal (they are the ones who commit the crimes) would look at one of these signs on the door of the business and think, “Damn, I can’t rob this place as my gun is not allowed inside!” Are they really expecting these criminals to turn around and leave? Do you think they are going to leave your store and go rob a pro-gun store that allows them in?

Hell no!

If I was a criminal I would TARGET these places. All these signs do are keep law abiding weapon carriers out of the store. You see, the only people would would actually think twice about disarming because of your sign are the people that you do not need to worry about. People like me with concealed carry permits. People like me legally able to own a gun and carry a gun and who have gone through criminal and psychological background checks to get their permit.

Think of it in terms of a car alarm. Why do people buy and install them? Deterrence. If a car thief had his or her choice of 2 identical cars with identical contents but one had an alarm and one didn’t, which would they choose to rob? If are a liberal pansy you said, “Neither, as they will see the sign in between the cars that says No Car Thieves Allowed and they will leave!” Anyone that believes this nonsense is delusional.

Ask yourself why you almost NEVER hear of a gun store, where you know there is not one of these signs posted, getting robbed? Because the workers and the customers are ARMED. It has happened before and the dumb ass had more holes in him than Barry Bond’s steroid stories!

Take down your signs people. Let the law abiding customers come back to your stores. I for one don’t shop anywhere that has one of these signs. I don’t want my money going towards raising the moron’s offspring that hung that sign. Hopefully the tape or glue used to hang it makes them sterile so the stupidity can stop there. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

CNN.com reports that New York City Police shot and killed an 18 year-old boy armed with only a hairbrush. The kid was heard on the 911 call from his mother yell “I’ve got a gun!”
So the cops show up he is coming at them hiding his hands (I told you about this in my other post!) and they put 20 slugs into his ass. I see nothing wrong with this. Tragic? Yes. However this probably saved the good people of New York from having to support him with tax dollars when he went to prison later for being retarded.

Now read down the article and notice the quotes from the witnesses and neighbors. I will copy the meat and potatos for you.

“The boy didn’t have no gun, he had a brush on him,” said Andre Wildman, a neighbor.

Andre gives us a well thought out, grammar-filled account of what went down. Thank you Andre.

Wayne Holder, said police should be required to see a weapon before opening fire on a suspect. “At least see a gun before you start to discharge it,” Holder said. “Police don’t even have to see it, if they think you got one, you’re going to get shot.”

Wayne Holder gives us another key point. My guess is that Wayne doesn’t quite understand how guns work. If you have one pointed at you and you hear a bang, about .3 seconds after you hear it, you are going to feel a sharp pain like that of a truck hitting you going 60 miles/hour.

I don’t fault the cops here at all. Lets recap what we do know.

• Cops get 911 call (people in need and danger call 911).
• Cops hear man in background yelling, “I’ve got a Gun!”
• Cops show up to find man pacing in the house with his mother outside (who called 911).
• Man comes out of a window holding something black.
• Cops tell man to drop said item.
• Man raises hand towards police in a threatening motion.
• Cops shoot man A LOT.

Please tell me that if you were in the same situation you wouldn’t have shot. Anyone that says otherwise is a liar (liberal pansies not included). Cops aren’t in the business of getting shot. Waiting for this guy to shoot first, if he had a gun, could have gotten a police offer, or worse, an innocent bystander hurt or killed. That is unacceptable. He was giving a lawful order to drop that he had and chose to raise his hand. This guy wanted to die. Suicide by police. I am sorry for the pain his family is having to go through with the loss but I will not shed a tear for this jerk.

There are so many different points of views to consider when thinking about gun laws and restrictions. I am interested in hearing feedback from people I actually know on this.

The way I see things may be a little more pro-active than others, but I realize that everyone is brought up differently especially around weapons. I think most peoples initial reaction when asked their opinion on the perfect gun laws would be to keep guns out of the hands of the bad guys.

I think keeping guns out of criminal’s hands is the most common and feel good answer out there, but the fact is, that is 100% impossible. That mentality shines when laws, rules, and restrictions are put into place in order to help “keep guns away from the bad guys”. All these restrictions do is make it harder for the law abiding citizens to buy and carry weapons. If a person is willing to read right past the law that says it is illegal to rape and murder , why would they stop to consider what the states laws are on carrying a weapon?

It is a very simple point, and no matter which side of the fence you stand, you have to agree with me when saying rules only apply to those that follow them. Read more »

I am NOT a moron. Really, I’m not. I don’t know what it is but something about me must scream moron.

Today I was driving home from work. Leroy and I were driving our normal Miss Daisy pace. Being the conservative, liberal-hating, country-livin’ Republican that I am, I was, of course, eating something fried as I flew down the highway going 80+ while cleaning my handgun and singing along with “Sweet Home Alabama.” As I was belting out the last verse I looked in the ol’ rear view mirror and noticed some red and blue lights following me. Damn it! I was busted! The Man was on my tail and I was getting pulled over.

Now the rub. The fine State of Oklahoma allows us law abiding citizens to apply for and receive permits to carry concealed handguns. I, of course, have one of these. It is legal for me to carry my pistol concealed as long as I don’t carry into any of the restricted places (such as Federal/State buildings, schools, etc). Leroy is NOT one of those restricted areas so I am A OK at this point.

As the smokey approaches the car I have my hands at 10 and 2 and the window is rolled down. He gets to the window and asks for my license and insurance. I politely tell him that I will be reaching into my center console for my insurance and into my pocket for my wallet (It is always a good idea to let a police officer know ahead of time before you go diving into your pockets). I retrieve both items as well as my CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) license. I am required by Oklahoma law to give him my CCW as well as inform him that I am, in fact, armed.

As I hand over my license, insurance, and CCW I say in a calm and steady voice, “Sir, I would like to inform you that I possess a concealed carry permit and that I have my firearm with me.” At least, that is what I think I said. From his next reaction I must have said, “Sir, You are retarded. You remind me of shit. By the way, your mother is a Vietnamese prostitute.”

He took about 3 steps back and placed his hand on his gun. He did not draw but that in itself was uncalled for. He asked me where my weapon was and I replied, “About 4 o’clock under my shirt.” He then asked me to place my hands out the window and step out of the car. I asked what the problem was and he told me to “just do it!” I complied and he opened the door and I stepped out. He asked me to move around to the other side of the car out of the danger of traffic (the only intelligent thing he has said so far aside from I need your license and insurance).

The next chain of events really confused me. I honestly didn’t know how to respond at first. This officer had the nerve to ask for my weapon. Excuse me? You want to take my weapon that I am licensed to carry? Am I under arrest? Have you even told me why you have stopped me (I knew why but that is beside the point)? We can get into the whole “officer safety” debate but I will stop you there and get to my point. The amount of hoops one has to jump through to receive this permit is borderline ridiculous. I have to take an 8 hour class, that cost me $60, on the law and firearm safety. I then get a certificate that I take to my local sheriff’s office. I give the sheriff $25 to fingerprint me. They then take a 10 page application from me as well as $100 money order. After they do an initial background check they sent the results and the fingerprints to the OSBI (Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation). They in turn send my prints to the FBI for a background check as well as conduct their own. After all this and 90+ days of waiting I am issued my license. 3 background checks and this guy wants my gun?

We haven’t even reached the worst part yet. His next statement almost made me pee a little. Not from fear, but from laughter. Officer Fife asked me to HAND him my loaded firearm. And here is where the title of this post fits in. DO I HAVE MORON TATTOOED ON MY FOREHEAD?

“Sir,” I replied, “With all due respect, you have no reason to disarm me. Second, I am not about to reach under my shirt to retrieve my loaded sidearm standing here on the highway. With my luck, one of your fellow troopers will drive by to offer assistance, see me produce a gun, and proceed to shoot my ass. If you would like my firearm I request that you place me in cuffs and get it yourself because what you suggested ain’t happening.”

The look of confusion and bewilderment on his face was priceless. I would give money for a picture so that I could post it for all of you to see.

Officer Fife finally broke the silence after about 15 seconds. “Ummmm, Ok. You stay right there for me.”

He took my information back to his car where I guess he ran my license and my tag. About 2 minutes later he returns and hands me my stuff. “Thank you sir, You have a nice day and slow down.”

WHAT?!? All that and you don’t even give me a ticket? Hell, where is my warning. I almost felt cheated. It took this moron 15 minutes to get me out of my car and almost shot and he doesn’t even cite me. I didn’t feel very protected or served!
