More Insane Political Correctness and Absurd Anti-Gun Nonsense

DANIELJMITCHELL.WORDPRESS.COM 2 Hours Ago More Insane Political Correctness and Absurd Anti-Gun Nonsense March 9, 2013 by Dan Mitchell I weep for my country. We are becoming pathetic fools and total wimps. Consider these jaw-dropping examples of behavior by adults who work in government schools. I think they must be competing for the Stupid Official of the Year Award. The contestants include: Here’s another example that belies belief. It starts innocently enough, as reported by a Baltimore news outlet. Children at Park Elementary School went home with a letter today explaining there was a disruption in school. A “disruption”? What, pray tell, happened. A fire? A theft? A gang fight? Well, brace yourself lest you faint in fright at what you’re about to read. At Park Elementary school, Josh was enjoying his breakfast pastry when he decided to try and shape it into a mountain. Josh said, “It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off...

Victories and setbacks for Colorado gun control supporters

DAILYCALLER.COM 4 Hours Ago Victories and setbacks for Colorado gun control supporters by Greg Campbell Tweet After long hours of debate Friday, the Democratic-controlled Colorado state Senate passed most of the gun control bills that have divided the state and drawn the attention of both gun-control and gun-rights advocates from around the country. But two of the most contentious bills — one which would ban concealed weapons on college campuses and one that would make owners, sellers and manufacturers of assault-style weapons liable for violent acts committed with the guns — died when their sponsors pulled them from the agenda after it became clear that at least three or more Democrats would vote against them. Democrats hold a 20-15 majority in the Senate, and Republicans — fully aware that this was the last and best chance to kill some of the legislation — made impassioned arguments against the proposals throughout the day in the hope of swaying Democrats who were on the fe...

Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland is a reliable barometer of the looming storm. When Greenlick suggested classifying cigarettes as a controlled substance, requiring a doctor's prescription, the telephonic and electronic thunderclaps were immediate: "'You suck, you liberal moron!' That sort of stuff," Greenlick says. "But it didn't seem at all threatening." Greenlick's 2011 proposal to ban children younger than 6 from riding in bike trailers? "The bike community was hysterical. I got abusive emails, not necessarily threatening ones, from as far away as The Netherlands." But even Greenlick has been surprised by the abusive, obscene and anti-Semitic tenor of the reaction to his support for gun-control legislation after the Sandy Hook ...

GUNS.COM 4 Hours Ago The Outdoor Channel Preparing to Leave Colorado Pending Increased Gun Control by Max Slowik TV Host Speaks Out Against Colorado’s Gun Proposals KRXTV Denver — A TV host is speaking out against Colorado’s gun proposals. If passed, he plans on moving all productions out of Colorado. Michael Bane is an Executive Producer and host for the Outdoor Channel which currently has four series in production, including the popular show Gun Stories. In an email to Republican Senator Steve King, Bane says if the Democrat-sponsored bills pass, Colorado will become known as unfriendly to sportsmen and will force other producers across the country to consider other states. The host says he’s already cancelled a scheduled filming session for late this month. In the email, Bane says that after consulting with three lawyers they’ve determined that, quote: “These laws are so poorly drafted, and so designed to trap otherwise legal citizens into a crime, that it is simply t...
