Guns don't kill. People kill. Well, except for when ...

I played with guns as a kid. Real guns. Unloaded. Loaded. Rifles. Shotguns. Pistols, Fully automatic weapons.

I owned toy guns that looked just like the real thing including the Martian ray gun from the Bugs Bunny Cartoons.

So back to the title.

Guns don't kill. People kill.

Except for combat. Obviously. Humans made guns to kill more people faster during war. The butter knife has its purpose. The longer lasting light bulb shines brighter and longer. And, guns. Made to kill. But, if you want to argue that people kill, let's talk war. Again.

Barney Fife didn't fight in any wars and did just fine with one pistol bullet secured inside a buttoned shirt pocket. Today's military carries semi-auto weapons into combat. Mostly. But, dang, even a semi-auto pumps out death at a pretty high rate of speed compared to Barney's only bullet. In that shirt pocket. Closed with a button.

In combat, we can't have a buttoned down bullet delaying death. No. So our soldiers pop off a bunch of shots. Bombs, too. Seems like I've heard a rumor that our soldiers fire thousands of bullets without hitting or killing the enemy. So we miss a little. Okay, so we miss a lot.

Where do the misses go?

That's the mystery exception to Guns don't kill; People kill.

So unlike Barney's bloused bullet, Private Billy Blastoff pops off his thousand round quota in a combat zone and hits a few civilians. Now, he didn't mean to do it. No one calls it murder. No Patriot anyway. Nope. So how did it happen if a human didn't intend for it to happen?

Well, the gun did it. A perfectly normal thing that soldiers call, collateral damage. Sargent Carter didn't order Private Pyle to blast Baghdad Betty and her baby. The gun did it. Has to be the gun. Must be the gun. Can't be anything else.

Cause when a baby gets shot, through an apartment wall in a city like Chicago, it was a bad guy who did. The wrong kind of person to own a gun.

In combat, it was the gun. Unless we want to be ethical and call it murder. The wrong kind of person with a gun. A bad guy.

Here's my point, the gun doesn't care who owns, who points it, or who dies. It just kills. Humans provide the labels depending on philosophy.

Back when I was a kid, playing with real and toy guns, I knew that only the bad guys died and the good guys always won. Now, I'm grown the my Martian death ray retired. I know what others deny. Guns kill innocent people despite the platitudes and philosophies.

You never hear it coming

Remember the episode on M.A.S.H. when Hawkeye reunites with an old friend who enlisted in the Army so he could write a book about War?

The title for the proposed book was, "You never hear it coming." That happy episode? Sometimes you hear the bullet.

Parents. You're never going to hear the bullet that kills your child. They play with your loaded guns when you're not around. Maybe you'll hear a dull thud like sound. But, the bullet will tear through that little body faster than the speed of sound. They won't hear the bullet but they will feel the burning gasses, the hellish bullet tearing flesh, and the thunder clap shock wave forming a cavitation chamber.

Cavitation chamber. The bullet causes the body's liquids to form gasses as it crushes through flesh. The cavity closes at least part way after the shot. Never all the way. The forensic pathologist knows. As soon as the file opens.

GSW, Through and Through path, front to back, 12 year old child, male, DOA ...

Over 1300 times a year. Once is too often. Even if it's not your child.

Remember, there are two rules in the Gun Control Debate.
Rule Number One, 1300 children die per year from gunshot wounds.

Rule Number Two, Doctors can't change Rule Number One.

Senseless gun death. Girlfriend killed by graduation gift.

I hate posting this kind of stuff.

High school grad gets a gun as a reward. Wonderful award after 12 years of schooling. Nothing says, 'You're now a responsible member of a gun toting society" than a gun gift. I hope it was wrapped up in a coffin shaped box. They needed a coffin a few minutes later when 12 years of schooling proved not enough. Not enough.

Teen kills girlfriend

The story gets worse. His girlfriend, Lucina Luna, was shot in her own home. By her boyfriend. Who got a gun as a graduation gift. From her father.

Yes. 'I love you. Dad thinks you're great. Here's a gun for you. Now shoot me with it and seal our lives together. Forever.'

Weird things I learned yesterday on Facebook and other places

O Tannenbaum isn't a Christmas song. It refers to a pagan relationship with a fir tree, a very faithful fir tree. The tune is used as the official State Song of Florida, Iowa, Maryland, and Michigan. A German version of On Top of Old Smoky.



On Facebook, I learned about how our feelings created thoughts which really pissed me off. But, I thought about it before I got angry. Then, I learned that I have no common ground with others because I'm too emotional. Now that I knew how to handle. I told the deeply conflicted self appointed second coming of Christ that if he feels like I'm pissing on him, it's because I am.

He's still overthinking that one.

I lost my cool again over the sound byte, If we ban guns, only criminals will have guns.

Who the frack are these criminals? Do they run red lights for jollies while waiting for the coming gun ban? Maybe they speed down the interstate at 73 mph in the 65 mph zones. So what are the criminals doing now? You know as well as I do.

The quote has nothing to do with existing criminals. It's a threat, a very violent threat. "IF you try to ban my guns, I'll kill your ass."

Do you really think criminals don't already have guns? Do ya think more criminals will have more guns if guns are banned? No. If guns were against the law, gun owners would break the law. So much for the good guy with a gun theme. Seems like we should read more into these sound bytes.

At least 12 more dead in a mass shooting.

I tried. I really did. I said it would happen again. It did.

Mass shooting victims die screaming. Screaming.

Bullets crush through human flesh. They do not carve like a knife. Bullets crush flesh and boil human fluids.

The victim dies horribly. Seldom is death quick. Gabby Giffords remained awake and talking after that bullet crushed through her bones and her brain. Shot in the head, alive, aware and in pain; just like Robert Kennedy on the kitchen floor of a hotel, she was able to speak, think, and feel.

If you still have human feelings, imagine all the victims, all who have ever been killed with a gun, walking down your streets, not in a death march, but in a parade.

A parade of carnage never seen in your living rooms, churches, your food restaurants.

Imagine them like those Walking Dead zombies caught forever between life and peaceful death. Each of them looking to you with pleading eyes. Their bodies already damaged but not dead. Pleading with you.

Help me.

Redneck mansions disguised as bona fide farms

Hopefully, I can continue to advocate for gun control and begin exposing rich tax cheats in Hall County, Georgia.

The owner of a 8 bedroom mansion recently wrote a pro guns letter to the Gainesville Times saying something about doing away with the bad folks in our society.

How do I know? I looked him up in the tax records.

He owns 10.6 acres of land in Murrayville and claims all 10 acres as a working farm. I've seen the 'barn' which doubles as his 'house.'

I guess his farm hands sleep pretty well at night.

Face it, dude.

You have a few trees on your property. You're not a timber baron.

You have a nice looking pasture but no cattle.

You claim your residence as a farm building.

Today, I began the process of outing your lies to the Hall County Commission and Darla Robinson, Tax Commissioner.

Let's start getting rid of the bad folks in our society, just as you suggested, starting with you.

God says, Kill those who would kill you before they do kill you.

At last, the Holy Call has gone out and the final solution to our rampaging gun problem has been solved. It is time for the right thinking protectors of our Holy Civil Scripture to hunt down the dark hearts and kill them before they kill us.

I launch my unholy outrage at the letter of Michael Hawkins who used phrases like, scripture "that we wrote for ourselves for civil use," and 'our sacred civil scripture' in his letter.

So we have the proper Christian approach to gun violence.

Hunt down and kill those among us who are deranged or who plot to harm us.

Kill them all and Let God sort them out.

Another one

No good news today. A portion of our country continues to seek justice in the streets resulting in vengeance.

Another child is shot to death by police for holding a toy gun. Link to current story.

In the Cleveland shooting, a video exists which hasn't been viewed by the public. The police describe the video as being clear.

No one is saying what is clear.

Clearly a 12 year old.

Clearly dead after being shot.

Clearly playing with a toy gun.

Clear quality video.

So much for public safety if 12 year old children are shot for playing with guns.

Another gun kills an innocent child ... North Carolina

An eighth grade boy was shot to death in Kentucky while sleeping in a Comfort Inn hotel room. The bullet struck him in the head but death was not instantaneous. His family tried to revive him and a panic laced called to 911 brought EMTs. But, the young man died.

Who shot him? A felon with a gun staying in another room. 'Ops! My gun decided to shoot a bullet through a wall when I wasn't looking.' The shooter wasn't in the adjacent room. We don't know what kind of a gun killed the young man. Police aren't saying.

I'm saying our gun loving society looks upon such a death as acceptable. The whole 'it's better that we have guns to protect us from the government. Much better. Much, much better.'

It's better we don't leave guns laying around in hotel rooms loaded.

Current details of the story.

If you hear dogs talking to you, Son of Sam, shoot the Gorgi!

Hollywood can't make up stories to match real life. The whole art imitates life thing.

What about when life imitates life? A man hears dogs constantly barking. He just knows it is real and not just in his head.

The rational solution is to shoot the dog and not the owner. Well, it's slightly more rational that shooting the owner.

So in Son of Sam, Part Duex, a banker hears a dog saying, "Shoot the Gorgi! Shoot the Gorgi!" Gets his gun. Then, in front of neighbors, shoots the dog's rival, a Gorgi, to death.



So the barking in his head goes on for two more hours. A thank you song.

A more read and accurate version of events here.

Picture of the dangerous Gorgi.

Penis shot at gas station. Exits buttocks.

In today's news, a suddenly gender confused 'man' shot his penis late one night in a gas station. Locals tell a story of a Mine is Bigger than Yours debate won by the .45 caliber bullet in head to head conflict.

It remains unreported what the man was doing in a service station while his gun and penis were fighting.

It is known that when the gun spontaneously ejected, the owner drove, not to the hospital, but to a friend's house.

The conversation went like this.

Knock. Knock. "Hey, man. Let me in. You've got see this. My penis stopped a bullet!"

His unbelieving friend simply said, "Oh, blow it out your ass!"

"Yeah," the wounded dick says, "I did that, too!"

Me? I can't imagine letting even my BFF drop his pants in my living room so I can see his bloody equipment. And and his new exit wound.

But, I don't live in Macon, Georgia.

Another post on guns that have never saved a life

How many kids were accidently shot with the family gun in one month.

Eleven.

NRA News shamelessly promotes viewer-submitted pictures of children with firearms, some engaged in unsafe gun practices

Meanwhile, these accidental shootings by children in the U.S. happened within just one month:

August 2nd - September 2nd, 2014.

A 7-year-old boy shot himself at his family’s homemade shooting range in California:

The boy was reportedly firing a single-shot, .22 bolt action youth rifle under his father’s supervision. When the boy cried out, his father noticed there was a small hole in his shirt, then blood.
A 9-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed her instructor with an Uzi in Arizona:

A 13-year-old boy was shot and killed by his 14-year-old friend while they were handling a rifle in Oklahoma:

Police say initially the other teens said the victim shot himself with the gun, but after questioning them separately, police say the 14-year-old accidentally fired the gun … Police say the rifle used was stolen from a home in Midwest City in 2011. Right now investigators don’t know how the gun ended up in the teens hands.

Another good guy with guns killed by police with good guns

Two days ago, a very peaceful man was standing on his front porch shooting at helicopters when trigger happy police shot him to death in violation of his Open Carry Rights.

Well, that's how the story would be covered in Georgia.

So a man is on his front porch with at least 4 loaded guns. So far, it's claimed the man was shooting before the police arrived. More shots were fired at police. Then, the man began shooting at a police helicopter.

Meanwhile, the local cops took up positions on a roof top and shot the man to stop the rampage.

The media coverage doesn't have much information on the shooter or his guns. I'd like to know where and how he got his guns. I'm thinking Walmart or a Christmas gift from a Southern cousin.

I'm thinking he was a law abiding citizen before going nuts.

I'm certain that none of his guns ever saved a life. Anyone wanna second guess me?

A police spokesman on Wednesday said 55-year-old Richard Ray Aceves was killed when officers returned fire while he stood on his front porch with several loaded weapons

Police departments a good source of guns for felons

The federal government program known as '1033' gives local police departments military weapons like Humvees, small tanks called APCs, and automatic weapons.

So as we learn from Mike Brown and Ferguson, we militarized the police. Well, maybe in ways we didn't mean.

For example, the police seem to lose their new equipment. So far, four free Humvees are missing or stolen. Sheriff or sometimes 'Sharif' Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona can't find his M16. Or, nine of his Colt .45 handguns given to him by .... Obama et al.

He's just a good ol' boy. Losing a rifle or a few handguns doesn't mean anything. Well, it means Obama isn't giving him anymore free military weapons. So now we know why the 'Sharif' of Maricopa whines like a baby. Someone took his toys and Nanny won't let him have new ones.

Getting banned from '1033' requires a certain amount of dishonesty or incompetence. If you lose your Humvee but report it stolen within 24 hours, you can get a free replacement.

Is there a problem with the program or just a problem with honesty among our local law enforcement?

Well, in Texas, bastion of justice, Chief William Jason Kelcy 'sold' four million dollars of '1033' goodies before getting Busted!

Make me wonder how long the Chief had to stand on dark street corners whispering, "Hey! Wanna buy a Humvee? How about a machine gun? Dude, I got handguns. Handguns!" before he unloaded the four million dollars in military weapons.

So who buys stolen weapons being sold by the Chief of Police? Don't over think it. Criminals. The most solid citizens in the community. Who else would the Chief of Police trust?

Am I wrong?

Our children shot snd killed 13 times more often than our Afghanistan war troops

For every member of our armed forces who died in Afghanistan during the 11 years of that war, 13 of our children were shot to death in the USA.

We should be ashamed.

Seven, count them, seven children will be shot to death today. Why? So some numb nuts can carry his AR15 in Walmart. So some biker can sit in a bar with gun. So your priest can wear a gun during Mass.

Guns anywhere.

A News21 investigation of child and youth deaths in America between 2002 and 2012 found that at least 28,000 children and teens 19-years-old and younger were killed with guns. Teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19 made up over two-thirds of all youth gun deaths in America.

Vote pro-gun Republican today and you kill seven kids tomorrow. Tell me that guns reduce crime. Tell me how safe you feel with a six gun on your hip in Sunday school. Tell me that you're upset because a journalist got beheaded in the Middle East.

When it is your child, grandchild, or a neighbors child dying from a gunshot wound, tell me it is just the price of freedom.

Right ...

Good guy with brain stops mass school shooting

Yup.

Two young men were ready to slaughter teachers and students at a California high school when ... law enforcement working in cooperation with school officials ... arrested the duo before they obtained guns and bombs.

If you want to read about stopping bad guys with guns the right way, chase this link.

SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Two teenage boys were arrested Monday after making specific plans to kill three staffers then gun down as many students as possible at their Southern California high school, police said.

Honey? Did you leave your cannon shell in the bedroom again?

File this one under cannon nuts epic fail.

Some gun owners were having a little fun at a gun show with their cannon, a US military 105 howitzer. For the novice gun nut, that's a cannon used in wars like ... Iraq, Afghanistan, WWII ....

So the gun nuts loaded their cannon using all the right safety precautions. They carefully aimed it using the proper Kentucky windage adjustments, and fired.

They missed the broadside of the barn. The field it sat in. The farm. All the little animals.

But, they nailed a house over 3 miles away. Epic miss.

What did the gun show people say? The followed all the safety rules. We've never seen a cannon shell go up in the air like that. It was Obama's fault. It's perfect for home defense. Gun owners have rights.

Father shoots and kills his family ... on Father's Day

How do I start this post? A man shoots his family to death Does so on Father's Cay. No previous signs of distress. Called his own father to wish him a Happy Father's Day.

Then, he shoots his 30 year old wife, a 9 year old daughter, and a 2 year old son.

Let the NRA choke on it's, Well, he would have used a knife if he didn't have a gun.

How about a reality check? Maybe he would not have killed anyone if he didn't have a gun!

NRA and gun lovers, Just pull your heads out of your assholes.

It requires nothing to pull a trigger 4 times. It doesn't take courage. It isn't intimate or personal.

It's cold, impartial, and inhuman. But quick and easy for a coward or a soldier.

If the man only had a knife, would he have chopped a 2 year old son to death? I bloody well don't think so.

The gun killed that child. No gun, then at least two children survive.

Stop the killing now. When there are no gun, there will be no gun crime.

Duck Dynasty Family. Secret Middle Eastern Terrorist Group?

Giving new meaning to DUI. Drunk open carries rifle with no sling.

People just should not get alarmed to see guns being carried down the street. Inside a coin laundry. In the parking lot of an auto parts store.

Guns don't kill, riiiiight? And everyone has a right to carry a rifle on the mean streets.

And, aren't there laws which forbid a police officer from questioning people? Especially those who have committed no crime.

So are we going to stop and chat up every dude with a gun?

Hey, how are you doing today? Can we talk?

Oh Frack No. You have no right to speak to me. You sorry son of a biscuit eater. You never noticed me without a gun, fracker.

Well, sir. I just wanted to ask if you're all right.

All right! Of course I'm right you lingering dog fart.

Would you mind taking a little test for me?

Do I look like some kid in diapers you blue brained drill butt?

Yeah. It went down like that. Read here.
