Doing something a little different today and posting something that I didn’t write. The morons currently trying to run Texas into the ground have now made it law that all you need to carry a concealed handgun is the money to buy one, which prompted this post. I am a gun owner myself, have no wish to carry my Glock21 anywhere, and agree with every single word below from Leonidas Christian Mixon. ************************************************* “We have a gun problem and a bullshit problem in the United States. Let me start by saying I am a gun owner. I have been since … Continue reading Today on Tommy T’s obsession with Random Ruminations – guest post edition
My HD65 rep Michelle Beckley (along with other Texas Democrats who were part of the Blue Wave that kicked out a crapload of right-wing nutcases from the Texas legislature in the last election) has been pushing for gun registration/background check/red flag legislation, but in this State, it’s an uphill battle. My personal views? First of all – I’m a gun owner. . I own a Glock G21 handgun, a single-shot .22 that belonged to my Grandfather, and a .410 that was used in my days as a ranch hand to dispatch armadillo, and put rabbits, duck, and pheasant on the … Continue reading Extra!

PHOENIX, Arizona — A 92-year-old woman is charged with murder after deputies say she fatally shot her own son because she thought he wanted to move her to an assisted living facility.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says Anna Mae Blessing had lived with her 72-year-old son Thomas and his girlfriend at the girlfriend’s condo for the last six months.
Court records show she believed her son and his girlfriend were talking about putting her in the facility because she had become “difficult to deal with.”
According to detectives, Blessing hid two handguns in the pockets of her robe and confronted her son in his room Monday morning.

Her son? Not so much.
“livius” offers prayers and hopes :

I think he should have put her in there about 20 years ago. She probably had Alzheimer’s, and often there’s an anger and paranoia problem that goes with that. Not always, but frequently enough.
Prayers for the family because it must be horrible for them.
I’m actually getting into Adrastos’s territory here, but – you must not live in Lousiana!

You know – sooner or later, even the Freeperati are going to start grudgingly admitting that there is a problem here.

Another copycat. Thanks “media”!

Of course – how stupid of me! The issue is “the media”, not nutcases with handguns!

What is going on here? There are FAR too many of these happening and FAR too often. Just a few years ago this was almost unheard of.

Gov. Bobby Jindal said he was on his way to Lafayette and asked for prayers for the victims.

Heh.
Seriously, though – apart from the media, who’s responsible for these deaths?
To: rdl6989
Its either black gangs, an ADD/autistic drug white boy on antidepressants, or a moslem.
Lay your bets,,,

City Marshal Brian Pope has confirmed for The Daily Advertiser that six people were injured in a shooting Thursday night at the Grand Theatre.
The shooter then turned the gun on himself, Pope said, and is dead.
Katie Domingue of Carencro was at the 7 p.m. showing of “Train Wreck” with her fiance’, Joshua Doggett. About 20 minutes into the movie, Domingue said, she heard a loud noise.
“We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker,” she said.She saw “an older white man” standing up and shooting down, not in her direction.
Enjoy your drive to Dallas, DesertRhino. I’ll have a notary standing by. Just park it in front.
Hey – waitaminnit – what’s a fucking RINO doing on Free Republic?
She heard about six shots, then she and Doggett ran to the nearest exit, leaving behind her shoes and purse.

Simple. Rampant liberalism is the cause.
Of course it is. Liberals are famous for shooting up movie theaters. We live for that shit.
There are FAR too many of these happening and FAR too often. Just a few years ago this was almost unheard of.
The axis of evil in the White Mosque has set up an environment for leftists to engage in these killing sprees. Aside from the shooter, hussein, holder and jarrett are equally guilty. As long as the regime remains in place, it’s vital for Patriots to be well armed.

So – to recap:
It’s not you, (or the mouth breathers like you who populate Free Republic) who are to blame for stirring up the crazies by screaming “Treason”, Big Goverment”, and “Tree Of Liberty” , but Hussein, Holder, and Jarett (kinda sounds like a law firm, doesn’t it?).
Makes perfect sense.
You DO know that projection is one of the hallmarks of sociopathy do you not?
More, including armed patriots guarding our military recruitment centers and after the media jump.
Just in case y’all were under the mistaken impression that open carry doofi (doofuses?) were restricted to red states: An Oregon man openly carrying his brand new handgun was robbed of the firearm Saturday by another armed man. Portland TV station KPTV reported that the 21-year-old victim, who had bought a semi-automatic .22-caliber handgun earlier in the day, was openly carrying the weapon down a street in Gresham, Ore. while talking to his cousin. The two men told investigators that another man approached them on their walk and asked for a cigarette. Police said the group’s conversation eventually turned to … Continue reading Today In Responsible Gun Ownership: Oregon Edition
Honestly, I haven’t known what to say aboutthe Trayvon Martin case because there’s just so much hurt there, but I can’t get this family out of my mind. We’ve got a young black kid going to 7-Eleven to get his little brother some Skittles and a trigger-happy wannabe hero with a history of seeing boogeymen behind every bush, plus a completely fucked up Florida state law that makes it nearly impossible to prosecute gun crimes, and a local police chief who mangled the case eight ways to Friday. It’s just a perfect storm of suckitude all the way around. No, … Continue reading Nobody Could Have Anticipated This
