Rainbows And Unicorns

From the Fox News Reporter DESTROYS Obama In Best Moment EVER During WH Press Conference:

During a news briefing at the White House on in December of 2015, President Barack Obama’s mouthpiece, press secretary Josh Earnest, doubled down on calls for stricter gun-control laws, despite knowing by then that the FBI had begun to investigate the San Bernardino shooting as an act of terrorism.

This rhetoric from Earnest inspired Fox News reporter Peter Doocy to step up to the plate and ask the question on everybody’s mind.

“The president thinks that if there are potentially two terrorists sitting around planning a mass murder, they may call it off because President Obama has put in place common-sense gun laws?” Doocy asked.

But Earnest, well-trained by Obama at concocting phony narratives, quickly fired back, claiming that all four weapons used by the shooters were obtained legally and that a terrorism motive had not yet been confirmed.

BEYOND SURREAL!

I'm actually starting to look forward to major surgery so that I will be so sedated that I don't have to be aware of this batshit crazy stuff.

Not surprising at all, right? But that's a hell of a gotcha.

Blatant Inconsistency

Or, if you prefer, outright lies (with a hat tip to Old NFO):

From Refugee Resettlement Watch (dated April 8, 2016):

The Obama Administration is looking to resettle 85,000 or more refugees this year from around the world and for Obama’s last opportunity to submit a proposal, he is aiming for 100,000 in FY2017.

Virginia to stop recognizing concealed carry gun permits from 25 states

RICHMOND — Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring announced Tuesday that the commonwealth will no longer recognize out-of-state concealed handgun permits, part of a national push to circumvent legislatures opposed to tightening gun laws.

Herring (D) said 25 states have lax laws compared with Virginia, where a history of stalking, drug dealing or inpatient mental health treatment can disqualify someone from carrying a concealed handgun. The move is in step with actions governors and attorneys general are taking to address gun violence without going through Republican-controlled legislatures.

[...]

The states losing reciprocity are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Agreements will remain with West Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

Six states will no longer recognize Virginia’s concealed-carry permits because they require mutual recognition of permits. They are: Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wyoming.

An end run around the principles of federalism as enshrined in the United States Constitution.

The Pope Condemns Weapons Manufacturers

From this article:

TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.

Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.

In the same speech, Pope Francis appears to call for acts of terrorism:

Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.

He spoke of the "tragedy of the Shoah," using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.

"The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn't they bomb (the railway lines)?"

Anger Management Courses For Ammo Buyers?

Florida (hat tip to Bloviating Zeppelin):

A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.

The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger management courses every 10 years....

Bloviating Zeppelin opines:

...As I’ve said many times, you simply cannot make crap like this up. Just when you think you’ve seen or heard the sickest of ideas from the Left, they manage to outdo themselves. It’s as though they not only possess what I call Historical Alzheimers — I’d submit purposely so — but they go out of their way to top each other, weekly, in terms of the most daft, inane, brain-dead, illogical, illegal and outright stupid ideas to craft into some form of law whose sole purpose is to remove more of your freedoms.

I’m guessing that Senator Gibson isn’t a “bad person” per se; she likely doesn’t set stray kittens on fire. But the Demorat culture and Leftism has clearly lobotomized her to the point where she cannot even recognize the documents that created this country....

I'm willing to be that the feds would love for all of us here at IBA to complete anger management courses. Pfffft.

With Tomorrow In Doubt

Excerpt from "With Tomorrow In Doubt," an excellent essay by T.L. Davis:

...Is an Executive Order legal to alter an Amendment to the Constitution? No, but it will take months and months to work its way through the courts and by the time it gets to the Supreme Court it will be handled exactly the way Obamacare was handled. Having been in place and having done all the damage Obama needs for it to do, the Supreme Court can rule any way that it wants to no effect. Meanwhile, the supposed Second Amendment advocates will have sat on the sidelines, waiting to get their confiscated weapons back without a peep. Oh, yeah, maybe one or two weapons go off in the struggle, but it will not be significant.

That is unless we take a hard look at the realities of our position and realize that our fight is not just over the Second Amendment, but all of them. That if they force us to raise our weapons over this issue, we should not lay them down until all of the others have been resolved. Including a Supreme Court more accountable to their oaths.

Hunters, sportsmen and veterans of wars, I ask you to look out on Arlington Cemetery, at the rows and rows of headstones there and ask yourself if their lives were worth less than yours? If their time was more desperate than these? They had children, they had wives, they had mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. Each stone, and others elsewhere, represent a life cut short in service to the Constitution, which guarantees the rights you risk by your silence and your inaction....

Tyranny And Gun Control

For as long as I can remember, alarmists have been screeching, "They're coming for our guns!"  That screeching got on my nerves like you wouldn't believe.

Now, in these weeks after the horror of Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, I am reminded of Aesop's story, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf,":

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Shortly, America is going to find out if the wolf has truly arrived.

Selective Reporting

From Nice Deb:

On Sunday night, December 16, 2012, a man went to the China Garden restaurant in San Antonio and opened fire. The gunman intended to kill his ex-girlfriend but as she wasn’t there, so he continued on to the movie theater next door where he fired on panicked moviegoers, sending them to the exits, and ducking for cover.

Witnesses said the shooting reminded them of the Dark Knight theater massacre last July that killed 12 people and injured 58 in Aurora, Colo.

The story was covered locally, but seeing as it happened just one day after the Sandyhook massacre in Connecticut, you would think it would have gotten more airplay in the MSM. Don’t stories like this one play right into their anti-gun hands?

No – not this one....

Obama Moving Quickly On His Agenda

Two recent items from the Washington Times:

1. Gun ban back on Obama’s agenda:

That didn't take long. Less than a day after President Obama's re-election, the administration breathed new life into the United Nations' previously comatose treaty regulating guns.

Last July, the U.N. General Assembly began formal discussion of the Arms Trade Treaty, which seeks to establish "common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms." Talks on the controversial agreement were put on indefinite hiatus after the United States requested an extension to the time allotted to negotiate the agreement. Gun rights supporters blasted the treaty as it inched toward approval, and many suspected U.S. procedural maneuvers were intended to delay the treaty so it wouldn't become a topic of discussion during the election. It appears these suspicions were correct since "indefinite" turned out to mean until hours after Mr. Obama was re-elected....

Read the rest HERE.

2. Keystone pipeline pushed to forefront:

With a second term now in hand, President Obama no longer can delay a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline and must either side with environmentalists within his party or greenlight a major step toward North American energy independence.

The pipeline decision could be an early sign for the direction of Mr. Obama's green agenda for the next four years, after a campaign in which he sparred with Republican opponent Mitt Romney over the pipeline and on issues such as subsidies for alternative energy companies, the future of the coal industry, and drilling policy on federal lands and along the nation's coasts.

Green-energy and environmental groups said Wednesday that they were buoyed by the president's re-election and that they think it will kick off another chapter for clean energy in America. Mr. Obama's previous attempt to tackle carbon emissions, the ill-fated and unpopular "cap-and-trade bill," died in the Democrat-dominated Congress during Mr. Obama's first two years in office, but many of the president's supporters see his re-election as an opportunity to resurrect it....

Read the rest HERE.

We frequently hear that we will see a President's real agenda in that President's second term because he no longer has to consider tempering his policies so as to get re-elected.

The above two items are just the beginning of the Obama Agenda.  In his 2012 victory speech, he uttered, "The best is yet to come."

We're about to discover what he means by the best, and the meaning will become clear with great alacrity!

Gun Fearing Weenie Alert!

“In the post-9/11 world, it simply defies common sense that it would be ILLEGAL to carry a gun into an airport ," says Midnight Rider.

"Law enforcement and security personnel, as well as active duty members of the military, would all be exempt from the law if passed."

Oh, you mean like Major Nidal Hasan? THAT worked out well.

I carry my gun into the airport when I drop off or pickup passengers. It is concealed. No one knows it's there and despite it seemingly lurking with intent it will stay that way unless some dumbass tries to start some nasty shit.

Sooner or later it will happen. Maybe not to me, but it will.

Time and again we are seing it is not security and law enforcement detecting and stopping the threat. It is the citizens themselves taking the idiots down.

Let them carry, 24/7, whereever they want. Just like the paper says.

Lautenberg wants firearms banned from airports
By Jordy Yager - 05/13/10 02:19 PM ET

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) introduced a bill Thursday that would make it illegal for people to carry firearms into commercial airports throughout the country.

The measure would prohibit people from carrying guns into areas outside of the screening checkpoints at airports, including the airport lobby, baggage claim area and ticket counters. It would not alter laws that allow licensed gun carriers to check unloaded guns in a locked case in their baggage.

“In the post-9/11 world, it simply defies common sense that it would be legal to carry a gun into an airport,” Lautenberg said in a statement. “Our airports face threats every day and allowing someone to walk into a major airport with a loaded gun is a recipe for disaster.”

Law enforcement and security personnel, as well as active duty members of the military, would all be exempt from the law if passed.

Lautenberg’s bill closely follows the recently thwarted attempted terrorist attack in New York City, in which the suspect, Faisal Shahzad, is believed to have driven to the John F. Kennedy airport with a handgun in his vehicle, which he parked at the airport after the failed attack.

Lautenberg’s office pointed out that the New Jersey senator’s move comes as the state of Georgia is poised to enact a law that would allow people to carry loaded guns into the surrounding areas outside of the state’s airport screening facilities.

Hey, Midnight Rider!

New Czarist Claim from Regulatory Czar: 2nd Amendment BALONEY

SUNSTEIN: My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears, not a reading of civic-centered founding debates. Modern gun owners who are invoking the Second Amendment on the basis of a principle they favor are perfectionists, not so different from older people who tried unsuccessfully - I'm pleased to say - to get the protection clause read to strike down mandatory retirement laws.

In terms of judicial developments, it is striking and noteworthy that well over two centuries since the founding, the Supreme Court has never suggested that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have guns. Not once! It would be amazing - though, given that fact - don't be surprised if the first time it happens is in the next three or four years.

We have an FCC Czar who thinks the 1st amendment is an exagerrated...well " This freedom is all too often an exaggeration."

And now we have a regulatory 'czar' who thinks those who actually BELIEVE the 2nd amendment is real are some kind of ocd 'perfectionists'

How many of these incidents is it going to take before some people wake up?

If the FCC czar is not scaring them at WaPo when he threatens the 1st amendment directly, what will it take? An elected freak in reaction in a near future like Ron Paul with the powers gifted him by this SICK administration?

These guys are not playing footsy. The language they are using is direct. I take their words seriously.

They believe they are on the side of the righteous and the good and that the simple act of oppostion and defiance categorises you immediately as a right wing smear merchant nut or worse. These people are a danger to the republic.

Arizona Will Miss You, Mr. Frommer -- But Their Aim is Improving

From FOX News comes this reminder that expertise in one field doesn't mean you can't be a damned old fool whenever you step outside it.

Travel Icon Says He'll Avoid Arizona Because of Gun Laws

PHOENIX — Well-known travel icon Arthur Frommer said he'll avoid visiting Arizona because state laws permit "thugs" and "extremists" to openly tote guns.

Frommer, the author of budget-travel guides, said on his blog Wednesday that he was "shocked beyond measure" by reports that protesters openly carried guns and rifles outside a Phoenix building where President Barack Obama spoke on Monday.

As a result, Frommer said he won't be spending his tourism dollars at the Grand Canyon, or anywhere else in Arizona, because he doesn't want to travel in a state where civilians carry loaded weapons as a means of political protest.

"I will cancel any plans to vacation or otherwise visit in Arizona until I learn more," Frommer wrote. "And I will begin thinking about whether tourists should safeguard themselves by avoiding stays in Arizona."

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he spoke with Frommer on Thursday and invited him to visit the city to clear up any possible misconceptions about safety.

Show up carrying, Phil. And remind the bastard that his sorry a$$ will be safe as long as he's with you.

Oh, and Arthur -- better skip Philadelphia while you're at it. That's where those "extremists" voted to establish the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Or have you never in your travels encountered people exercising that part of the Bill of Rights?
