A great half hour episode on Gun Control. They’re some pretty foul mouthed dudes, but the content is good.
In these end times, shooting rampages appear to be all the rage. But why? Why is it that when someone has a rough time, they feel they can destroy as many lives as possible before destroying their own? And now this widespread evil idea is spreading like a cancer across the country.
Well, lets step back and take a look at history.
June 25th 1962. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Union Free School District No. 9 in Hyde Park, New York had violated the First Amendment by directing the Districts’ principals to cause the following prayer to be said aloud by each class in the presence of a teacher at the beginning of each school day:
“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country.”
Since that 1962 case of Engel v. Vitale, the Supreme Court has issued a series of rulings that slowly cut the observance of God from our schools.
Hooray for freedom! Hooray for seperation of Church and State!! Right? Wrong. You see, when you take a people who are instilled at a young age that they are responsible for their actions and that one day they will stand before an Almighty Judge and give account for their life on Earth, and you now tell them they are no longer responsible for what they do and that there is no Almighty Judge, and that they came from animals… those same people become animals.
This is where some of you become defensive and say it’s not true, because “look at me! I don’t fear God, but I’m a good person!”. Obviously the rule doesn’t come down to every single person. Just the majority of the group as a whole. We are now raising the children of America to believe that there is no life after death, because we came from that stupid monkey you saw at the zoo. And no life after death means no punishment for your evil deeds in this life. And since that is the current “truth”, people don’t mind giving up this short and meaningless existance and going out with a bang. Only to then find themselves eternally damned, suffering in agony, alone in darkness and eternally seperated from God.
“the place of eternal torment with weeping and gnashing of teeth” Jesus said in Mark 9:42-48
In the past, before the 1962 ruling, God was apart of everything. Wether or not you attended church, or claimed to be a follower of Christ, you still had a respect for God and bowed your head and removed your hat when a prayer was said. That was because folks were brought up by a mostly Christian country. The liberals will paint that idea as a most horrific one. Religious nuts. Pshycho-religious babble. I’m sure most of you have heard it. Then why is it now, as we gradually remove God from us, that the state of this country only darkens?
I can tell you what we should do. I can tell you we should bring the Bible back to class, train our children in the ways of the Lord, etc. etc. And as much as that sounds like the Christian thing to say, I know and you know, that it won’t happen. It’s not supposed to.
For those who read the prophosies in the Scriptures, we know these are the end times.
2 Timothy 3:1-4: (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.”
Proverbs 30:11-14: “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”
Isaiah 1:4: “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”
So, if we can’t bring God back into schools, then what?
We arm the teachers, principals, and administrators.
OMG! Do you realize that the second those teachers and administrators had guns in their possesion, they could also be bad guys and shoot everybody?
I do realize the slight possibility that someone who spent years and money gaining an education to teach and administrate in schools could very well have a bad day. And if they feel the need to shoot everybody up, there’s a mighty good chance that every other armed administrator, would not be having a bad day, and would gladly save the lives of many children by gunning that one down.
So actually this kills two birds with one stone! It helps cut back on so-called “overpopulation” while weeding out the bad guys! It’s a win-win situation!
Praise the Lord, pass the ammo!
NEW YORK (AP) — Margaret Johnson might have looked like an easy target.
But when a mugger tried to grab a chain off her neck Friday, the wheelchair-bound 56-year-old pulled out her licensed .357 pistol and shot him, police said.
Johnson said she was in Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood on her way to a shooting range when the man, identified by police as 45-year-old Deron Johnson, came up from behind and went for the chain.
“There’s not much to it,” she said in a brief interview. “Somebody tried to mug me, and I shot him.”
Deron Johnson was taken to Harlem Hospital with a single bullet wound in the elbow, police said. He faces a robbery charge, said Lt. John Grimpel, a police spokesman.
Margaret Johnson, who lives in Harlem, has a permit for the weapon and does not face charges, Grimpel said. She also was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and later released. (source)
Shot him in the elbow? She needs more practice at the range.
Here’s another story about how a gun was used as it should be. To ward off those who threaten our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It was only a necklace, but it could have been her life.
Thanks Andrew for the link.
Here’s a good one for the Armed Citizen Category.
A man was shot to death near Manley Hot Springs, Alaska on Tuesday after pointing a long gun at an Alaska state trooper, officials said Thursday.
The man was shot by an out-of-state fisherman who had called for trooper assistance because, he said, the man who was killed had earlier been shooting at him and a fishing partner. The trooper was Michael Wery, based in Fairbanks. Continue…
I can’t believe that the fishermen shot the guy who was shooting at the them!!! Doesn’t he understand that he’s just lowering himself to the shooters standards? I mean, like, he should have just let the guy shoot them AND the trooper. This crazy world just doesn’t make any sense.
Hattip: War on Guns
My brother in law, originally from Georgia just sent me this. Awhile back he had told me about his uncle having to shoot a guy who was charging him in his own home. We were wondering if it was gonna make it in the Armed Citizen section of all the NRA magazines, and sure enough. I just got this in the inbox.
Hey bro, Remember me telling you about my uncle? Well, he’s famous now. His story was in this months armed citizen.
And here’s the story.
Savannah Morning News, Savannah, GA, 12/15/05
As he watched an intruder run from his living room and climb out a window, a 75-year-old man thought for a moment that the danger was gone. But police say that when he turned around, a second intruder was coming at him. The homeowner fired a handgun once, hitting and killing the intruder. ‘He reacted,’ said police Lt. Carl Fletcher. ‘That was his reaction to protect himself and his property.’ According to authorities, the man had been in the county jail 12 times in the past three years. His alleged accomplice was later arrested and charged with burglary.
ARLINGTON, Texas — A woman found evidence on her porch that someone might have broken into her house when she let her dogs out for a walk early Wednesday morning. The woman’s granddaughter also said she heard noises from inside the house.
Susan Gaylord Buxton, 66, retrieved her .38 caliber handgun and searched her house. She found a man hiding in a closet, covered by a coat.
The man, 22-year-old Christopher Lessner, lunged for the gun, and, police said, Buxton shot him once in the leg. She fired a second shot, which missed, according to police. Read Full Story »
She’s lucky to be alive, most likely. She shoulda unloaded on him.
Thanks for the link, Scott.

True story time folks.
Jewelry store owner Larry Dickerson was working in his Raleigh, North Carolina store when he noticed that the three men who had come inside were acting suspiciously. Dickerson was making sure that his gun was handy when he noticed one man had taken a gun out of his pocket. “When he wheeled around, I hit the floor. He fired three shots at me,” said Dickerson. A retired police officer, Dickerson, who never fired a shot in more than 20 years of duty, returned fire. No one was injured in the exchange. The three men then fled the store and have not been apprehended. “You have to have a gun,” Dickerson said. “If I didn’t have it, I’d be dead.”

Research by award-winning criminologist Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz reveals Americans use guns for self-defense as often as 2.5 million times a year–that`s three to five times more often than they are misused by criminals. Read the full article.
FEAR of the armed citizen and the threat of tough punishment for using a gun (or other weapons) in committing a violent crime are significant factors in both reducing and deterring crime, according to the results of a survey of imprisoned felons conducted by Professors James D. Wright and Peter H. Rossi. Read the full article.
Listening to The Radio Factor this morning on the way to a job, Michelle Malkin (whom I love) was on and they were talkin about the (FAM) Federal Air Marshal’s “Dress Code” and all of the extremely brilliant rules behind it.
The whole idea behind the FAM is that they work undercover. But the bureaucrats (our friends devoted to the details of administrative procedure) think that they should all be sporting some slick ‘uniforms’ if you will.
As quoted from The Ledger:
“I don’t think anyone expects al-Qaida to come aboard wearing long robes and burkas. “If the terrorists understand the need to blend in, why doesn’t the director of the Federal Air Marshal Service?”
Now, if yer gonna make the FAM’s look conspicuous, you should give em a tougher look. Because the ‘man in black’ look isn’t as intimidating as…. say…. maybe Mad Max.
And if I were in charge of all that bureaucratic BS, I would issue each passanger a .357 Magnum for the flight. Then when they got to their destination quite safely, they would turn it it to be issued to the next passanger flying with that airline. Course that would only work in ‘my perfect world’, but it falls back on this saying:
“An armed society is a polite society.”
