This Is Why

 

If you've ever wondered why me and others like me insists on being armed everywhere we go, this is why.  The shootings yesterday at the In N Out Burgers restaurant in Idaho - and every mass shooting ever, to be honest - are why.  This is a picture of Jordan Salinas returning fire on the asshole who started shooting at a fast food restaurant in Idaho yesterday.  And by Jordan's own description, the shooter was "shocked" that someone was actually shooting back.

And THAT is the whole point of average citizens carrying a gun everywhere they go.  The shooter wasn't expecting anyone to shoot back; if he was, I doubt if he would have done it in the first place.  

Jordan began training on firearms use in 2021 after he witnessed a mass shooting, vowing to never be a victim and to help if he could.  So he started training, posting videos of his training on YouTube.  And he got good. He got VERY good, and his actions yesterday prove it.  (And just for the curious, the pistol he's using here is an FN/FAL fitted with a laser sight and a suppressor.)  The police are crediting him and an off-duty state police officer who also returned fire with saving untold lives by driving the shooter out of the area and into cover, preventing him from shooting anyone else.  He then took his own life, as most mass shooters do since they're all nothing but fuckin' cowards to begin with.

What I'm gonna say next is going to be controversial and some people may disagree with it, but that's fine.  Disagree all you want, but what I'm going to say is fueled by the truth.

We live in a dangerous world, a world where the decay of society and moral standards has reached the point where it's no longer safe for people to walk the streets without fear of being shot by some deranged asshole.  The police can't help you because they're not your personal bodyguards, something that the SCOTUS has already said.  The police are, by the nature of their jobs, reactive instead of proactive when it comes to things like this.  So don't expect the police to be able to help you, because they can't.

And NO, the solution is NOT to ban firearms.  That won't work, and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it (which leaves out every leftist moron on the planet).  Banning guns will work just about as good as making drugs illegal did with the drug trade, so don't even go there.

The ONLY solution is to make people afraid that other citizens will start shooting back.  (Here's where the controversial part comes in.)

Criminals don't fear the law.  They don't fear the police.  They don't fear jail.  So they certainly don't fear the average citizen.  And we as a society need to change this.  We need to start making the criminals fear the public instead of the other way around.  And the ONLY way to do that is to fight back - which means to start shooting back.

It is my humble opinion that every man and woman in this country should be trained on how to use a firearm, and then carry that firearm with them everywhere they go.  I'll go so far as to say it should be required by law that every adult citizen both male and female take that training and then be armed at all times.  When the perceived 'helpless victims' start shooting back, THEN and ONLY THEN will things change.

Can you imagine what would happen if a deranged person (and I say person because there have been female mass shooters as well as male) walked into a public place and started shooting, and then EVERY ADULT IN SIGHT pulled a firearm and started shooting back?  I think it would only take once, maybe twice, for that to happen before mass shootings became a thing of the past.

And don't even start with the "Gun Free Zone" bullshit, because that's what it is - bullshit.  97% of the mass shootings that have taken place in the past 20 years have taken place in a 'gun free zone,' so just STFU with that shit.  They should be called "Unarmed Victim Zones" because that's what they are.  Anyone who thinks that a criminal is going to give a shit that they're in a gun free zone is a fuckin' moron, especially Nancy Pelosi.  (She's the one who said that if a criminal saw the gun free zone sign that he'd just put his gun down and go home.  Fuckin' moron.)  

So how can you make it easier for people to abide by the law that they take the training and be armed at all times?  Easy - make both the cost of the training and the purchase of the firearm, ammunition, and holster tax deductible.  Easy enough.  The hard part will be getting our do-nothing Congress off of their fat asses to get the legislation done.  But that's another topic for another time.

In the mean time, as was just proven by Jordan Salinas, training and carrying a firearm with you is the solution to the problem of mass shootings.  That's why I carry a firearm with me everywhere I go, unless prohibited by law.  (And don't even get me started on why I can't carry a firearm in church, on school grounds, or at the doctor's office.)

I sincerely hope and pray that I never have to do what Jordan Salinas did, but know that if I ever find myself in his situation I absolutely won't hesitate to do what he did.  Only it's gonna be a lot louder when I do it because I don't own a suppressor.

Yet.

Elect A Clown, Expect A Circus

 

Yeah, I know it's a well-worn statement, but it's still relevant because now more than ever if you live in New York City, it's the truth.

The sad thing is that most of the people who live there don't realize it.  At least, not the ones who voted for this socialist clown, and there were enough of them that he got elected to begin with.

I could spend this entire entry listing all of the many ways that the idiots who voted for this clown - and that's what they are, idiots - fucked both themselves and NYC, but I won't.  Maybe I'll save that for another time, maybe not, but right now I want to talk about the clown himself.

From this point on I shall refer to the subject of this blog entry as "BOZO," because he's a clown.  And that's being nice. (It's also because it's easier to type than his real name.)

There are several key things that either Bozo doesn't understand, or he does understand them but ran his platform on them anyway because he knew the idiots who would vote for him didn't understand them.  Those key things are, in no particular order:  Basic economics, Basic legal authority, and Cause and Effect.  So let's talk about them, shall we?

Basic Economics.  Bozo has no idea how basic economics works, and this is proven by his push to move NYC away from capitalism and into socialism.  You can't provide ANYTHING for free, because there is no such thing.  Somebody somewhere has to pay for it, and 100% of the time the money comes from - wait for it - higher taxes, a staple of the Demoncratic mantra.  But of course Bozo has a plan for this, and that plan is to raise taxes on the millionaires in NYC.  (That leads us right into Cause and Effect, but I'm not ready to go there just yet.)

He also doesn't understand that if you raise the minimum wage in order to provide - and I hate to use the term because it's a made-up libtard bullshit term - a "living wage," that will do several things.  It will force 'mom and pop' businesses to close because either they can't afford it or they'll have to cut staffing which will hurt their business and force them to close anyway.  It will also force bigger companies to cut staffing which will result in reduced services and less efficiency.  Or they could go the route that McDonald's is taking and replace paid staffers with automated machines.  Either way, the workers are the ones who will suffer because they're the ones who will be losing their jobs.

Basic Legal Authority.  During his campaign Bozo made several promises that I believe he knew he didn't have the authority to do, but he made them anyway knowing that the PEOPLE didn't know that, would hear the good news, and vote for him - which is exactly what happened.  The two main things he promised to do was to lower bus fares and lower rent throughout the city.  Only thing is, both of those things are NOT controlled by the Mayor's Office in NYC.  They're controlled by the state government in Albany, and even Kathy Hochul, idiot that she is, knows that you can't do either of those things without catastrophic results.  And Bozo knows this as well, which is why he hasn't approached Hochul about either.

Recently Bozo made the statement that he would arrest the Prime Minister of Israel when he came to NYC to attend the Useless Nations based on a warrant issued by the International Court claiming that Netanyahu was a war criminal.  Well, in the first place, that bullshit court has no authority over the United States for two reasons:  first, we're not a member of that bullshit organization, and second, the United States Constitution.  But Bozo made the statement anyway, and immediately got his nuts slapped by the President of the United States and the Department of Justice.  Now he admits that he doesn't have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu, but still says that he's "not welcome" in NYC.

News flash, Bozo - He doesn't care.  

Cause and Effect.  As soon as Bozo announced the new taxes he was proposing to make the rich "pay their fair share," the millionaires in NYC and the companies they own started looking elsewhere.  Dozens of millionaires have sold their holdings and moved the fuck out of NYC, and if they closed a company doing it then they put a bunch of people out of work.  Or rather, Bozo put a bunch of people out of work.  When he noticed that the rich were fleeing NYC and taking their money with them, what was his answer?  WHy, a new tax, of course!  An 'exit tax' ala Kalifornia and Gavin Newscum.  Like that's gonna stop people from leaving - they'll just pay the tax and be gone, taking their money with them.  And last week Bozo announced that he's putting yet another higher tax on the second homes owned by these millionaires, boasting and laughing about it on social media.  

And the immediate result?  Yep, you guessed it - all those millionaires who hadn't sold off their holdings yet are doing just that.  NYC real estate listings are flush with expensive homes that are now being sold because of Bozo.

I could go on with just how badly this clown is hurting NYC, but I think you get the point.

Every now and then in life you see something going on that you just know is going to end very badly, but there's nothing you can do to stop it.  And the more you talk about it, the less the people who are causing it listen and care.  At that point all you can do is just sit back and watch the train wreck, then step in and pick up the pieces when the smoke clears.

That's where we're at with New York City right now.  Bozo is going to be the total ruination of that city, and it won't be long before the city economy collapses and the city becomes a socialist shithole.  And when that happens - and trust me, it will - then it will be the Republican's turn to come in and clean up the mess.  And hopefully the idiots who elected Bozo and let this happen will have learned a lesson and finally stop voting for socialist/communist clowns.

But I ain't holding my breath on that one.
