In the weeks since we last reported on media attempts to tie NRA to the Ebola crisis because of our opposition to the nomination of Dr. Vivek Murthy as surgeon general, the anti-gun echo chamber has continued to promote this absurd line of argument. Absent most of the coverage is a forthright discussion of NRA’s legitimate concerns with the nominee, or any evidence that Murthy himself has a singular ability to effectively handle the nation’s Ebola response.

NRA opposes Dr. Murthy’s nomination for the very reason that he has a history of exploiting his status as a medical practitioner to advance a purely political agenda of extreme and unproven gun control measures. In January 2013, Dr. Murthy signed two letters sent from his organization Doctors for America (formerly Doctors for Obama) to Vice President Joe Biden and Congress, advocating for stringent gun controls. The letter to Congress advocated for a ban on popular semi-autos and their ammunition, limits on ammunition purchases, firearm owner licensing, and a mandatory waiting period of at least 48 hours. The letter also expressed a desire to leverage the resources of the Centers for Disease Control to provide data for gun control efforts. Such proposals are of obvious import to gun owners. Moreover, as surgeon general, Dr. Murthy would have the ideal platform to direct the nation’s public health apparatus towards redefining firearms ownership as a disease, a tactic that Congress has curbed with funding limits since the 1990s, but one President Obama hopes to reinvigorate.

This little gem at the end of my rant sums up Murthy as a person-a person who has had a lifelong anti-gun agenda and is not capable of doing any job without inserting his anti-gun bias into anything and everything-Mr. Murthy would do well to read up on OCD and Hoplophobia.

Murthy is in no way even a fair candidate for surgeon general-he insists that “gun violence”is a “public health” problem.

His solution-register and license firearms-and make gun ownership a disease.

The man thinks it’s just fine to classify an enumerated Constitutional right as a mental illness.

I’ve got news for Mr. Murthy-the only mental illness involved in this issue is his hoplophobia.

99.9% of gun owners are sane-have no mental illnesses,have no propensity to commit crimes of “gun violence”-or any crimes at all.

Mr. Murthy would simply continue his lifelong quest to ban gun ownership.

He is unfit for the job of surgeon general due to his far left political ideology,his lifelong anti-gun crusade,his intentions to make gun ownership a mental illness-and his support of far left causes.

No one who is so focused on idiocy like requiring a license to exercise an enumerated Constitutional right,requiring gun owners to register our firearms,classifying gun owners as having a mental illness,and using the CDC to generate junk “science” to support his anti-gun crusade is fit to be the surgeon general of the United States of America-period.

We’ve seen the CDC junk science to support gun control movie already-we do not need a remake of it.

We already had an administration determined to ban guns-we don’t need a repeat of slick Willie and the “assault weapons” ban,we do not need so-called “universal background checks”-we do not need to have a license required to exercise our second amendment right to keep and bear arms,and we sure as hell are not mentally ill-we sure as hell do NOT need to register our guns.

WE already have an administration that is hostile towards our second amendment right to keep and bear arms-the last thing we need is another member of this admin. in a position where he can use his job to promote his lifelong anti-gun agenda.

The leftists,libtards,progressives and metrosexuals that make up the current admin need to understand that if they fuck with our gun rights any more-in any way-it will be like they kicked a hornet’s nest.

Remember,during the revolutionary war-it only took III% of the population to defeat what was the greatest military on the planet at the time-the English navy ruled the seas,the English army was the largest fighting force in the world at the time-and THREE PERCENT of the population kicked their asses and sent them home to England as a defeated wrold power.

That shit can,and will happen again-you can only kick a sleeping dog so many times before it bites you…

Kicking the hornets nest that is Americas gun owners would be like poking a sleeping grizzly bear-something no sane person does.

The .gov morons who helped create the current police state would like nothing more than to disarm the population-it’s much easier to control the population that way-between creating a blizzard of paperwork that is the United States Code,and the labyrinth of fed and other .gov agency laws,rules, and regs these things makes it so any prosecutor in any state,in any county of the United States can charge and convict anyone they want to,at any time they want to for violating something-or many somethings from the absurd number of laws on the books.

None of this is Constitutional-it is a violation of our civil rights-any and every gun owner charged with any one of these insane laws/rules/regs needs to file a lawsuit for violation of civil rights under Title 42,Section 1983 of the USC…

42 U.S. Code § 1983 – Civil action for deprivation of rights

“Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.”

If everyone who was charged with these insane,absurd,obscure laws would demand a jury trial,then sue for the civil rights violation that it is-this bullshit would stop.

The only thing Mr. Murthy is an expert at is attempting to violate the civil rights of all American gun owners-that and being a leftist loon.

Oh yeah-here’s the little gem that started my rant…

“Yet even before Murthy gained fame as Obama’s unlikely pick for America’s top doctor — chosen at an age when most physicians are still struggling to establish their practices and pay off medical school loans — he was offering his unsolicited “expertise” on gun control in correspondence to America’s leaders.  Should he likewise care to offer his musings on combating Ebola, he presumably remembers the addresses of the White House and Capitol and will chime in accordingly.”

“A new group called Prosecutors Against Gun Violence has formed to find solutions to gun violence in the U.S.,” NPR reported Saturday, sharing an interview with the tax-funded public employees behind the effort. “NPR’s Arun Rath speaks with attorneys and co-chairs Cyrus Vance Jr. and Mike Feuer.”

“This fall marks the launch of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence, an independent, non-partisan coalition working toward prosecutorial and policy solutions to the national public emergency of gun violence,” the group says about itself before announcing a Tuesday and Wednesday “summit” in Atlanta. “Our growing coalition includes 23 prosecutors of varied political backgrounds, representing diverse jurisdictions throughout the United States.

“We can augment the enforcement of existing federal law,” the group asserts, revealing a game plan framework. “We can export state and local rules that are working to other states and localities.

“Prosecutors, by and large, are not ideologues,” PAGV insists. “We protect and we serve.”

That’s demonstrably false as far as the group’s front men are concerned. Feuer is a veteran citizen disarmament zealot, as documented for years on The War on Guns blog. For his part, Vance is an award-winning anti-gunner. And rather than “find[ing] solutions to gun violence,” all the group’s efforts will do is give more advantages to criminal predators at the expense of those PAGV claims it works for.

The main event at the gathering in Atlanta was Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords and co-founder of a national “gun control” group. Kelly’s discussion, per the Associated Press, focused not on prosecuting violent criminals, but rather, on “the need … to counter the powerful gun lobby.”

NEWTOWN, Conn. — More than eight out of ten Americans say that the misuse of guns in violent crimes is a matter for the criminal justice system, not a public health issue, and that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should not spend resources on the study of “gun violence” but instead concentrate on viruses and disease.

These findings are among the results of a national scientific poll of 1055 likely voters conducted live by telephone Sept. 30-Oct. 2. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) commissioned this survey to determine whether adults share the view of some gun control organizations and activists that the use of guns in crime, for which they use the short-hand “gun violence,” is a public health issue.

An overwhelming 84 percent of survey respondents said gun violence is a criminal justice issue, rather than a public health issue, such as viruses. An even higher 88 percent of respondents said they do not think the CDC should spend resources on studying the use of guns in crime rather than on studying viruses and disease. Some 71 percent of respondents said that the federal government should not classify gun violence as a public health issue in the manner of viruses and diseases.

When asked whether the definition of gun violence should be expanded to include accidents and instances of self-defense, nearly three-quarters of respondents said gun violence is a crime committed using a firearm with the intent to injure another person.

The survey was conducted by Harper Polling. The margin of error is +/-3.02 percent. Respondents self-identified as 38 percent Democrat, 33 percent Republican and 30 percent independent. As to ethnicity, 74 percent of respondents said they were White, 11 percent African-American, 8 percent Hispanic; and 7 percent, other. As to age, 25 percent of respondents said they were 18-39; 27 percent, 40-54; 23 percent 55-65; and 25 percent, 66 or older.

“As the significant challenges posed by the Ebola epidemic demonstrate, the emphasis of the Centers for Disease Control should remain on the study, prevention and containment of viruses and infectious disease,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. “For political reasons, many involved in gun control activism would like to re-define the criminal misuse of guns into a public health issue. We commissioned this survey to help determine where Americans stood on this issue. To put it plainly, they don’t buy it. And given the 20-year reduction in violent crime that the FBI reports, even as the number of firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens has increased, they shouldn’t buy it.”

“Documents obtained through a lawsuit recently issued against the City of Phoenix by government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal a weapon from the Department of Justice’s Operation Fast and Furious was used to injure two people in a 2013 gang-style assault on an apartment complex. When the incident occurred and during investigation afterward, police worked with federal law enforcement agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency in the case, raising suspicions the assault wasn’t simply a typical, local gang shootout and prompted questions about the details of where the weapons that were used came from.

“Thanks to our lawsuit, Congress has been able to confirm what Judicial Watch already reported – that a Fast and Furious weapon was used in yet another violent crime that terrorized and injured residents of Phoenix,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Our lawsuit against Phoenix exposed how the Obama cover-up of Fast and Furious is ongoing. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is a mess. It has endangered the public and is engaged in an ongoing cover-up of its insanely reckless Fast and Furious gun-running operation”

“Assistant Attorney General James Cole, who played a large role in the cover-up of Operation Fast and Furious, announced his resignation from DOJ today.”

This one could end up setting precedent so that the corpse of engineers has to lift their unconstitutional ban on firearms…

“DENVER, CO.  An Idaho woman who is barred from carrying a functional firearm for self-defense when she visits federal recreational facilities prevailed today with the ruling of an Idaho federal district court that the federal government ban on firearms violates the Second Amendment.  Elizabeth E. Morris of Nez Perce County is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, regularly carries a concealed weapon, and often seeks to recreate on lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Because Corps of Engineers regulations ban functional firearms, even while camped in tents, Ms. Morris is subject to criminal prosecution if she attempts to exercise her Second Amendment rights.  Alan C. Baker, a firearms instructor and a resident of Idaho’s Latah County, is a co-plaintiff in the suit, which was filed in August 2013 in Idaho federal district court.  The Corps of Engineers did not respond to requests from attorneys for Ms. Morris and Mr. Baker, Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), seeking an exemption from its firearm ban, a ban that has not changed since the landmark Heller ruling.

“We are delighted the court’s ruled that, ‘The regulation banning the use of handguns on Corps’ property by law-abiding citizens for self-defense purposes violates the Second Amendment,’” said William Perry Pendley.”

Moms Demand Action is today promoting this meme:

“On the outfit’s Facebook page, the image is furnished with a caption:

Dmitry Smirnov was prohibited from purchasing firearms because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen. But he was able to buy a handgun from a stranger online at Armslist.com with no questions asked. Less than two weeks later, Smirnov traveled to Chicago and murdered his ex-girlfriend, who he had been stalking. He shot her a dozen times

This is astoundingly, willfully, egregiously dishonest. Every single thing that Dmitry Smirnov did was already flatly illegal. He didn’t utilize any “loopholes”; he didn’t benefit from any ambiguities or exceptions in the law; he wasn’t freed up by a lack of “common sense” prohibitions. He just broke the existing rules.

Let’s go through this methodically:…”

When the mentally ill are released from halfway houses, they are hired directly into public school administration:

“An Alabama mother is furious that her 5-year-old daughter was forced to sign a school contract stating she wouldn’t kill herself or anyone else at school.

School officials told Rebecca, who did not want to give her last name, they had to send 5-year-old Elizabeth home after an incident in class.

“They told me she drew something that resembled a gun. According to them she pointed a crayon at another student and said ‘pew pew’,” Rebecca explained.”

Need any more proof that public schools have become leftist indoctrination centers?

The July report by billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s funded gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety is “riddled with errors,” including mistakes in the number of shootings reported, the extent of the shooter’s mental illness and even where the attacks occurred, according to an analysis by gun researcher John Lott.

Since 2009 through mid-July of this year, there have been 25 mass shootings — compared with Everytown’s claim of at least 110 — 8 percent have happened in places that have allowed civilians to defend themselves, and 52 percent of time there was a clear indication of mental illness before the attack, says the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) report.

‘Badass’ Moms Take Gun Fight To NRA’s Home Turf

Okay,gotta admit I was laughing too hard at the headline to start reading the following nonsense for a minute or three…

“The next contender in the fight to knock the most feared lobbying association in the United States off its powerful perch is a 43-year-old former stay-at-home mother from suburban Indianapolis named Shannon Watts.”

BWAAHAhahahahahahaha-you gotta be kiddin me !

“With access to Michael Bloomberg’s deep pockets and the force of more than 2 million dedicated supporters, Watts in recent months convinced the CEOs of several major U.S. companies to take a stand against guns in their stores and restaurants. Her group helped get laws passed in a few states that make it harder for perpetrators of domestic violence to get firearms.”

The truth is most of the stores did not ban guns,Panera stated they will follow state and local laws,Starbucks just asked patrons to not come in their stores when open carrying,and stated they will continue to serve all customers as long as they are following state and local laws,Kroger told them to piss off.

As usual the anti-gun zealot author uses lies,half-truths and obfuscation to prove a point that doesn’t even exist-moms’ effect on carrying legally owned and carried firearms in stores had exactly one success-Target.

“It makes our moms feel like badasses to take on the most powerful lobbying organization in the country,” Watts told The Huffington Post last week.

Bwaaahaaahahahahahah-you gota be kiddin’ me-what planet is this twit from?

“The new push comes after the group lost some big fights to the NRA in confrontations that underscore the limits of the moms’ brand of volunteer-led grassroots activism — especially at the state level, where entrenched gun lobbyists have an outsized voice.”

Stop-you’re killin’ me-lost “some” big fights?! Lost every single one is the truthful description.

“volunteer-led grassroots activism” bwahahahahah-stop-my sides hurt from laughing so hard!

Since when does Bloomberg’s $$$$ = “grassroots activism”?

Read the rest of this drivel if you can stand it…
