Quote Of The Week

March 6, 2015 by 5 Comments

Normally I would call something like this the quote of the day. However, it is so deliciously snarky that it deserves to be the quote of the week.

You may have heard that some of the gun prohibitionist big-wigs gathered in Washington this week for the introduction of a new universal background check bill that is destined to go nowhere. This included former Congresswoman Gabby Gifford (D-AZ).

A.W.R Hawkins of Breitbart pointed out the obvious when he wrote:

On Wednesday, gun control advocate Gabby Giffords stood with Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill to demand that everyone buying a gun be required to undergo the same background check Jared Loughner underwent to acquire the Glock he used to shoot her in 2011.

Yes, Loughner acquired his firearm via a background check, as did Jerad and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), among others.

That’s correct. All of the above “mass shooters” used legally purchased firearms that included a NICS background check. I would add in the Newtown shooting as the killer’s mother actually passed a background check when she purchased her firearms.

Of course, this has Slate.com’s panties in a wad. On the same page that they have an article about the latest research on penis size and another about how bureaucracy is a force for good, writer Alec MacGillis is all horrified that the NRA actually retweeted a link to the Breitbart article. He considers it a personal swipe at the sainted Gabby. He’s the same writer that thinks St. Louis, Missouri would be better off in Illinois because Illinois gun laws would cut crime in the city. Even though he said it should be called West East St. Louis, it is obvious to me that that he’s never been to the actual East St. Louis. If he had, his lily-white ass would be grass.

  1. I've been to E. St Louis. Nice town. Unless you are white and it's getting dark.

    As for Giffords, the last time she had a thought of her own was just before that bullet went through her noggin. Now she's just a megaphone for Kelly.

    1. Robert – I would say E. St. Louis used to be a nice town. That was around 1960 when it was an All-American City. It sadly has really deteriorated since then. Frankly, it reminds me of a third-world city and scares the hell out of me.

      Giffords is just a puppet nowadays. I really wonder what her mental capacity really is. And that is a sad thing.

      I have seen the compensating measures that those with dementia in the early stages take. I saw it with my own mother and I'm seeing with my mother in law now. I would be surprised if she were much different.

  4. Sad and really sick-o that Gabby is being taken advantage-of, even willingly. Blood dancing doesn't become her, especially in her deteriorated state.
