Sipsey Street Irregulars: Meet Charlotte Bloomberg.

Meet Charlotte Bloomberg.

Michael Bloomberg was born at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, on February 14, 1942.[8] His family is Jewish. His father, William Henry Bloomberg (1906–1963), was a real estate agent and the son of Alexander "Elick" Bloomberg, an immigrant from Russia. His mother, Charlotte Rubens Bloomberg (January 2, 1909 – June 19, 2011), was a native of Jersey City, New Jersey. -- Wikipedia.

When I went to Washington state this month, I required a firearm to break Bloomberg's law on the steps of the state capitol. As you can see from this photo, I slung it across my back with an impromptu sling. It is an old double-barreled external hammer Belgian shotgun without, as near as I can determine, any serial number. It is somewhat of a beater I'm afraid and no doubt were I to try to fire it with modern smokeless ammunition it would detonate. However, for the purposes it was perfect. The wonderful thing is that I was presented this weapon as a gift by the I Will Not Comply folks in Washington and I sent it back to myself in Alabama. It just arrived.

Of course, all firearms, like all ships and boats, are female and there was some talk about what I was going to name her. Rosey was suggested and my wife agreed, but I think I have a better one.

I'm going to call her "Charlotte." That is Michael Bloomberg's mother's name. Since I have him and his millionaire-bought abomination of a background check bill to thank for her, it seems only appropriate to call her "Charlotte Bloomberg," or just plain "Charlotte." I intend to drag Charlotte around to every speaking engagement and armed civil disobedience action I can. Now that ought to piss the collectivist bastard off, don't you think? After I get the old gal cleaned up and with a proper sling, I'll post some close-ups of Mrs. Bloomberg in all her wood and Damascus steel nakedness here.

Michael Bloomberg takes his oath (for whatever that was worth) with his mother, Mrs. Charlotte Bloomberg, in attendance. To quote Rodney Dangerfield, she musta been somethin' before electricity.

Please give her a good bore swabbing, and stock wipe-down from all of us.

Oh, the amazing stories she could probably tell. No doubt there will soon be even more....

Pre-serial number. I love it.

Thank you to the donors !; February 16, 2015 at 7:42 PM

Funny thing you should mention that?? And you say,"Of course, all firearms, like all ships and boats, are female and there was some talk about what I was going to name her." Boats probably more so but many ships carry the "Names of MEN!!!" "Manly Men" who did great things!! Although named after "Men" the vessel would still be referred to as "She." Anyway, I was never inclined to "Name" any of my various "Pieces" until my Springfield Armory 1911-A1 "G.I. Edition" came into my life in '06!! 'Wasn't interested in any of the Koolie, tricked out models with adjustable sights, and all the other whistles and bells that smack of "Kuel!!" 'Never forget the "First Time" I shot a 1911, it was back when I was 15 and not till some years later I was 60 years old and eyeballing the goodies in the glass case at Jim's in Fayetteville and there "she" was (or should I say "he???") I purchased said piece and it wasn't till not long ago that I thought it should have a "Name!!" Thought about that for bout a half a second and it was a Done Deal!!" After seeing all those WWII B&W movies with Marion Morrison playing the role of "The Soldier-Sailor-Marine" with a "1911 strapped to his side!!" There was only one name,"John Wayne!!!!!" What more can I say. Have to say though, Shotguns, especially Double Barreled versions because of their "Nature" have to be female!! And now the old song from the old movie has a whole new meaning, remember,"Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte??"
Got Gunz??,

It is a hand me down from my pop, and the last time it was shot(by me) when I was a teenager it knocked me on my ass. I pulled both triggers at the same time, but I did get the black bear. It came south from the great Progressive state of Wisconsin. You know, we were not known as "Yankees" to the Secesh. We were known as "Westerners." The hated Yankees were those like Bloomberg, from the elitist N.E.
Who knows, maybe one day my "Charlotte" may have to make a return trip??; February 17, 2015 at 7:56 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
