Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way. We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the policies I’d lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence. The best ideas left standing were narrowly tailored interventions to protect subtypes of potential victims, not broad attempts to limit the lethality of guns.
FK – While the author ran across some obvious truths that anyone with a brain has been aware of for decades she is still deluded. ‘Gun control’ has as much to do with public safety as the welfare state does with helping people.
Both were created as a form of ‘control,’ the former to render any civilian population unable to fight back against those who would rule them and the latter to creat inter-generational parasites that will consistently vote to continue their slavery.
FK – As usual a commie rag comes out on the side of history’s dictators and real mass murderers, ignoring their own ideology’s blood soaked hands painted with the reality of 200 mil. murders in the 20th century alone and of course on the side of common criminals who would rape, torture and murder a child while a commie parent watches because they were too pathetic to be able to defend their own family much less their Liberty.
Our real enemies are here, they have white skin and were mostly born here. They do not belong here.
FK – Not to take anything from the author, and I’ve never gotten around to reading his book, but the average dumbass will never read a book that thick. Most of them won’t read 5 books after high school and those will be on some hobby or some religious crap or ‘chicken soup for the braindead’ or some such. Sad fact.
And I must disagree on there being ‘no difference’ between the ‘left and the right.’ When millions or billions believe a falsehood to the point that they’re willing to kill you over it or watch you being burned alive in fire forever that makes it very dangerous.
While it’s true that only a tiny percentage ‘protest’ because most of the sheeple have a job to go to and bills to pay many will still happily vote for their neighbors to share their slavery and the whores with the badges and guns and the tanks and the aircraft carriers will happily enforce the police state for a check and a retirement plan.
The button pushing won’t stop until enough stop reacting and start thinking and understanding that we fight for our Bill of Rights, the document that makes us exceptional, and for the liberty of all humankind. Yes, we are the empire of note. It’s that serious.
Why has our own govt. been pushing ‘democracy’ for 100+ years when democracy is just another control device and setting up dictatorships in the name of fighting communism or whatever the evil of the day is?
There are always groups that vie for power, control but see they can only manipulate at best. They often compete against each other and use us as their pawns. This is not new. Part of what they do is sew confusion so we don’t know who to target and end up fighting ‘each other,’ whomever that really is.
This is war. There will be infiltrators that will hang with you until it’s time to put a bullet in your head after they helped you dig a firing hole.
We’ve had the net for 20 years. There’s no excuse for ignorance any more. If they don’t share your values, they’re not your ‘friends.’ See the column link about that above. Friends are the ones who will help you make the bodies and bury them.
But what do we do when they tell us to ‘turn them in’ or do other things that truly ‘cross the line’ such as take a chip for the company or pay an income tax that doesn’t belong in a free country or send our youth to wars for profit?
That’s the question too many are too cowardly to answer. There are many more ‘awake’ than even a decade or so ago. One cannot keep track of all the ‘conservative’ to ‘libertarian’ websites, news sites, blogs, video channels and on and on. We do have enough now to tell our domestic blood enemies: “You don’t belong here. You have NO RIGHT to work covertly or overtly to enslave us.”
And who’s funding the ‘alt-right’ or ‘racist’ groups? Aren’t they part of the deception as well? We don’t want to get suckered into a false ‘race war.’
It’s way past time for those who claim they want to be ‘free’ to get ‘mad as hell’ and decide they’re ‘not gonna take it anymore’ and prepare to do what will be required to hold the war crimes trials and find out who the real ‘conspirators’ are.
Attempting reason with communists and many ‘conservatives’ is akin to slitting one’s wrists and jumping into shark infested waters.
We must make amerika free again.
“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.” – Sun Tzu
Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. – Sun Tzu
As for our current situation there is only one fix for it, if it can be fixed. But western so-called men have been de-backboned and de-nutted and shrink from the idea of shedding blood when the tree of Liberty cries out for it in such a plaintive and alarming way.
We have a representative republic, guaranteed to every state, not a democracy.
We have a Bill of Rights that acknowledges rights we are born with, not granted or created by any government.
We vote with the knowledge that voting is the most violent act anyone can participate in because voting is electing someone to hire someone to stick a government gun in our neighbors’ faces and force our version of reality on them at the threat of their very lives.
We stand ready to protect our Liberty and the Liberty of our neighbors, not destroy it, via any version of authoritarianism, of any age or place.
We are prepared with knowledge and force of arms to make war against and kill if necessary those who would destroy our Bill of Rights whether they represent domestic or foreign enemies.
We do not lie to ourselves, our families, our friends, our business associates, our descendants, our enemies, about these things and do not EVER tolerate those who would have us do so.
If the troops were fighting for our freedom they’d all be here.
So why has there been no movement on reciprocity and on the additional provision of recognizing state permits in the District?
“We’ve got over 80 cosponsors at this point,” Massie told Walters when asked the status of his bill, which is currently and procedurally in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform because Congress has oversight responsibility for Washington D.C. He’s “pressing for a hearing on it.”
“Why haven’t we seen movement over either 38 or 2909 since the horrific events in Virginia?” Walters asked, noting the Republicans control the House and the Senate and both Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appear to be blocking bills advancing the right to keep and bear arms.
“You know what?” Massie replied, “The Speaker told me he didn’t think the timing was right. And I think this is the exact timing to bring this bill.”
Of course it is. What a disingenuous excuse. When will the timing be better?
FK – It’s been a puzzle to me for some time now why all the Trump voters aren’t keeping republicrat phone lines melted down.
The words ‘illegal gun’ are not found in the Second Amendment.
A modern 10 commandments Barry Bright July 11-12, 2017
These didn’t come from anyone’s god but from years of frustration and anger over the willful ignorance of my fellow tool-using monkeys:
1. Thou shalt not treat any human being like a jackass by requiring them to trade their health, their life, or an extreme amount of their time in this world just to ‘make a living’ which really amounts to enriching others.
2. Thou shalt not call any human being a ‘human resource’ or ‘consumer’ or treat them as products.
3. Thou shalt not make war for profit. Thou shall make war for Liberty when it proves necessary and kill if necessary those who work covertly or overtly to enslave those around them.
4. Thou shalt never question the right of any individual to fight back against or kill those who would seek to oppress or enslave them nor tolerate any self-appointed or democratically elected ‘god-appointed’ kings, dictators, rulers or whatever they may be called in the future.
5. Thou shalt not seek to disarm the common people such that they cannot make war upon and conquer or destroy if necessary those who would seek to rule them.
6. Thou shalt not force thine own version of reality on another either through government force nor via any contrived quilt trip or threat of eternal punishment by a sadistic god of any origin.
7. Thou shalt not question the right of any individual or group to question the motives of any other individual or group.
8. Thou shalt not force others to unwillingly participate in your version of what ‘charity’ is since charity comes from the heart, not a government or religious gun.
9. Thou shalt not force thy version of ‘morality’ on others except to keep those who have truly harmed others or their property from repeating their crimes.
10. Thou shalt love thy neighbors better than thyself with the recognition that just because you don’t mind being a slave to one version of authoritarianism or another doesn’t mean they want to share in your slavery.
When I see that we’ve had a Bill of Rights for 200 years that so few deign to understand or value I figure in about 10,000 years the tool-using monkeys will be ready to understand these 10 precepts.
If they don’t kill each other off over whose version, sub-version or subversion of how to ‘save’ mankind is ‘right.’
And the cultural norms keep marching on, or dying off…
FK – We’ve had the net for 20 years now. It’s incredibly easy to learn how evil the twin evils of socialism and gun control are. Most sheeple(old word for ‘normie’ I guess that we were still using a couple years ago) have smartphones to help them disengage their heads from their rear ends, if they so choose.
But it’s always easier to cling to the old lies and myths than to wake up and grow up and take on personal responsibility for the world one exists in.
The mainstream newswhores are ‘educated’ adults(loosely defined) who are hired by other allegedly educated adults. I cannot be convinced they do not fully understand the evil they do.
Why don’t we joke about Stalin or Mao Te Sung? They killed far more ‘normies’ and people than Hitler did… And we still have ‘educated’ trash in this country that openly admire Karl Marx and his Manifesto and yet we allow them into positions of authority and to indoctrinate children and college students while ‘conservatives’ stress over a few causalities produced by fundie ragheads who were probably funded and armed and encouraged by western government agencies.
What’s wrong with this picture?
So what is the source of ‘alt right?’ Isn’t that another term our domestic blood enemies came up with to help them hide their evil? Why use it as if it has real meaning when every time the commie trash uses it they are trying to associate those who simply want to live in a free world with another form of authoritarianism not that different from what the commies want to force on all of us at the point of a govt. gun?
If the troops were fighting for our freedom, they’d all be here.

FK – I knew here was something about you. You’re part Kentuckian.
My parents were both factory workers or ‘blue collar.’ Their parents were essentially subsistence farmers or less. I’ve heard all about the not-so-good-ol-days.
My greatest fear was always that I would end up like my parents. My experience working ‘blue collar’ jobs and delivering freight and seeing many such facilities have proven my fears to be legitimate.
Most factories in Kentucky don’t even pay the $15 minimum wage the commies want while expecting their workers’ lives(very loosely defined) to revolve around helping their employers and their stockholders get richer. How people survive with mortgage, rent, car payments, kids, whatever on that kind of money is beyond me.
I call them the ‘working poor.’ While not ‘impoverished’ necessarily anyone who could quickly become so by losing a ‘job'(just over broke) is definitely among the working poor and that would probably include many who consider themselves to be middle class because they often go into debt for houses, cars, boats, whatever that take up much of their income so in effect they’re working to enrich their bosses and the banksters.
High school graduation means nothing now. My mother graduated high school in the 50s with about 30 or so fellow grads if memory serves. My class of 1980 had 200. Now Kentucky forces all students to ‘stay in school’ until age 18.
How many are just ‘literate’ enough to read their electric bill and not much else? How many can do math without their fingers and toes or a calculator?
Hell, what does a college degree mean now?
Someone was once quoted as saying “The poor you shall always have with you.” He allegedly said it in a very matter of fact way.
We have govt. schools because a percentage of the population would not make sure their kids even learned the ‘basics,’ whatever those really are. The govt. schools should not be in the business of making good worker bees and compliant taxpayers. But that’s what our masters want and most of their victims never ask the right questions and most teachers are only slightly less ignorant than the masses and are only regurgitating what they’ve been spoon fed.
While taking a ‘basic’ math course in college we studied some of the same things my ‘basic’ high school math covered, including compound interest and 30 year mortgages. I had watched my mother die at age 39 from cancer and my father was then or not much later disabled by asthma.
Those events combined with the fatalism I was raised in told me what a rip off our ‘system’ is. Now as someone in the ‘youth of old age’ I see many who have lost their health to working to make those payments for decades so what did they really gain?
But then the sad truth is that many who ‘work jobs’ all their days wouldn’t do much else if not forced to and would cling tightly to their natural-born ignorance all their days.
As always it’s up to that tiny minority to inch humanity forward, while most of the rest waste their time here waiting for the world to end or making it end, for themselves and others.
FK – The welfare state was created in order to breed inter-generational parasites that would be dependable voters. So at least part of it is a ‘conspiracy.’
The ancients knew single parent homes and fatherless children are bad for the tribe, the culture and the larger ‘civilization.’ Our modern creators of the ‘great society’ or whatever knew exactly what they were doing.
And this has harmed poor whites as well.
Who is teaching them to call you ‘coon’ and why and who or what is paying for it?
FK – This guy is just as clueless as the the ‘snowflakes’ but in a different way.
What does ‘We the People’ actually mean?
It means we are responsible…
We have a representative republic, guaranteed to every state, not a democracy.
We have a Bill of Rights that acknowledges rights we are born with, not granted or created by any government.
We vote with the knowledge that voting is the most violent act anyone can participate in because voting is electing someone to hire someone to stick a government gun in our neighbors’ faces and force our version of reality on them at the threat of their very lives.

FK – So what happened to the anarchist? With no govt. abortion will be ‘legal.’ If abortion, as ghastly as it is, is outlawed, it will simply move underground to the black market as it survived through the history of western civilization. Simple fact.
I don’t think we’re going to see the end of this debate any time soon, as our science hasn’t caught up with our supposed morals, or vice versa, and our religions are still based in the bronze age. To be bluntly honest, so many that are born might, or would be, better off not. Simple sad fact.
If we weren’t so insane as a species we’d provide reduced price or free vasectomies to all 14-year-old males after putting enough of their sperm on ice to last a lifetime in case they ever make a rational, logical decision to become a parent. But that’s just too hard a concept, or reality, for most to deal with.
It’s easier to pay single women to procreate and have cities and prisons full of fatherless males that help distribute the drugs and can be counted on to vote commie.
I don’t expect to be here long enough to see this really change.
The ‘No Rights that aren’t Allowed’ group is part of the problem. Gun Owners of America should have 100 million members. JPFO wanted to DESTROY gun control. To do that we’ll need to DESTROY the amerikan communist insurgency and the globalist elites that fund/control it.
As Churchill said a few years back “I have nothing to offer but blood sweat and tears.” For when the commies by whatever cute name lie their way back into power, and most likely they will, especially since the heavily infiltrated republicrat party will probably not restore our Liberty any more than it did during the Dubya years, but only destroy it in different ways, via ‘The Patriot Act’ and other evil measures, they will not hold back. We will have to choose between killing the evil creatures in large numbers or submitting to them and that will mean getting on your knees and kissing, fondling and sucking whatever they decide to stick in your face and there will be NO LIMIT to that.
My standard answer to such:
Let’s make amerika free again!
Are we ready for the outcome of voting for the lesser of two evils, and eventually getting more evil than we can handle?
Is there a militia force in your county yet? Why not? Are you afraid of the ‘m’ word that’s in the Second Amendment?
Who’s our greatest enemy? Those who build the Trojan Horse or those who open the gate?
Nothing will get better until we stop worrying so much about the fundie ragheads and start rounding up and at the least deporting our real enemies, our domestic enemies.
So who or what is our real enemy? A tiny no. of fundies who manage to kill a few mush heads now and again or our own white home-grown “Liberal”(commie) trash that works relentlessly to disarm and thus fully enslave millions?
What will we do when a commie SCOTUS rules it’s OK for the “Liberal”(commie) trash, our real enemies, to demand we ‘turn them in?’ How many cowards will comply? Those are the questions that matter.
What’s an ‘illegal gun?’ Those two words are nowhere to be found in the Second Amendment. A right applied for is a privilege.
Was the last ‘mass shooting’ site a ‘gun free zone?” Why are commiefornia and others still ‘may issue’ states? Why do we seek ‘permission’ to exercise the most basic right any creature possesses, that of self defense?
If the Marxist mutt and other commie extremists that call themselves ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ tell us to surrender our weapons and thus our most basic right, they’ll find out what blood really is.
The most important ‘private property’ anyone owns is their own life, health, safety, and no one, anywhere, anytime has the ‘right’ to take that from them or deny them their most basic right, that of self defense.
We all get the elected public servants the brain dead sheeple deserve.
I’ll vote for the candidate that will bring the troops home, activate the militias, and re-invade and re-conquer commiefornia and the other commie enclaves on the left and East coasts.
They’re not ‘leftists,’ ‘liberal’ or ‘progressive.’ They’re communists/globalists. They want us disarmed so we can’t kill them when enough finally wake up to the necessity of doing so.
Our Liberty is dying because of our failure to hunt the “Liberal”(commie) and globalist trash to extinction.
“[T]he SSA did not attempt to answer most of the legal questions raised about its authority,” the National Rifle Association observed. “Incredibly, the SSA also brushed aside empirical evidence the NRA submitted suggesting that the proposed rule would have no public safety benefit … The administration further acknowledges that the rule would not provide those subject to its terms the ability to defend their suitability to possess firearms before the actual loss of rights took place.”
This can happen because a citizen”adjudicated” by SSA* needs help managing finances, something everyone unable to decipher all the various federal, state and county/municipal tax codes and reporting requirements and schedules could well admit to. That can now be used to make certain these citizens are defenseless.
FK – It’s my guess that few would even be affected by this but that isn’t the point is it? After skimming over the 14 pages of evil that the Marxist mutt signed off on it’s evident what must be done. But that’s been evident for a long time however strongly many ‘conservatives’ et al deny it to them selves and others.
The real question is are we going to burn the republicrat congress’s phone lines up until they:
Repeal ‘all’ gun laws.
Forbid any govt. agency from making ‘law.’ Yes, it could be done.
Possibly passing an amendment to the constitution that reads something like this – “Whoever seeks to disarm the common people, as in ‘We the people,’ through any form of ‘gun control,’ and all gun control is about that ultimate goal, is to be tried for treason and executed.’
The republicrat party controlled the now red house and the congress during the Dubya years. Did they return our govt. to its original form and intent? Of course not. We will have to force them to. The republicrat party was after all the original party of big government. Read “The Real Lincoln.”
‘Party members’ such as Arizona’s mccommie shows it’s also heavily infiltrated.
We are much farther down the abyss than most know or want to think about.
Some of this would only be a good start:
FK – Why do so many not grasp that the SCOTUS is NOT the final arbiter of our rights?! WE ARE!
What we need is a drive to melt down congress’s phone lines until they repeal ‘all’ gun laws and pass an amendment to the constitution to convict all the trash that pushes ‘gun control’ of treason with execution to follow.
Yes we can.
And remember what will be coming to your door to enforce whatever ‘law’ the evil ones pass – the conscienceless black-suited Nazis:
FK – Be sure to teach your kids to ‘respect the police’ that are helping to enslave them.
FK – They should be standing on the side of the Bill of Rights, that document they took an oath to uphold, not on the side of their version of ‘just-us.’ The black-robed shysters, prosecutors and legislators hold equal blame.
