Marines With Guns?

After the Fort Hood shooting, in which 13 soldiers were killed and 30 were injured, I heard some gun-banning idiots saying "See, even highly-armed military facilities aren't secure against nut jobs with guns. We need to ban guns." Of course most of these slack-jawed milksops have probably never been anywhere near an Army post. If they had, they'd know that military bases are largely "gun-free zones" just like Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary, etc... At least one high ranking military official would like to see that changed.

According to an article at The Truth About Guns (TTAG): "The decision to disarm military bases—DOD Directive 5210.56—was a political one implemented during Bush the Elder’s administration and allowed to continue to present day[.]" (Bush 1 was a pencil-neck who was definitely no friend of the Second Amendment.) The way it stands now, except for a few military policemen and soldiers on live-fire shooting ranges (or in actual combat), our servicemen and women are disarmed while on duty.

After seeing the Ft. Hood massacre, U.S. Navy Yard shootings, and an on-base murder-suicide, the head of the least PC branch of our services is calling for a change to that policy. The Marine Corps commandant, Gen. Jim Amos, outlined his plan to his senior officers in September. According to MilitaryTimes.com: "It calls for a variety of new initiatives, including the installation of security cameras in each barracks, the incorporation of more staff noncommissioned officers and officers on duty, and the arming of all officers on duty and staff NCOs on duty at all times[.]"

Given the skinny anti-gun wussy who is the commander-in-chief, I doubt such changes will come to fruition. As long as we have a national policy where American Devil Dogs can be killed from a lack of shooting back, that remains completely unacceptable.

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING...

I know I make the same point on a frequent basis, but in case any evil gun-grabbing hacks out there didn't get the word, I must once more repeat my favorite FN FAL phrase, "No legitimate sporting purpose my ass!"

Bawb, here's a gift idea for all of us AR-15 shooters on your Christmas shopping list. Perhaps it might even come in 9mm!



Potentially Fatal ‘Knockout’ Game Targeting Strangers May Be Spreading

Okay we've all heard of flash mobs. But now urban youths have found a new way to get their jollies, a violent game called "Knockout." In this game a young punk will sneak up and punch a random passerby on the street, trying to knock the other person unconscious with one punch. In the following video a man offering directions gets sucker-punched out, a teacher walking down the street gets punched in the side of the head and an unsuspecting woman gets punched from behind in the base of her skull. Several people have been killed already.

Do the Ruskies still have nukes pointed at our major cities? If so, let's taunt them.

Update 11/24/2013: Sometimes they "knock" back. 60 Year Old Woman Shoots and Kills 2 Teens After Being Punched. Hope this sends other punks a message.
