Go for it, you racist puke.
Black Lives Matter activist leader Blake Simons penned a piece in September warning that the US needs a new Constitution or “there will be bullets.”
“A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests of Black people,” Simons argues. “The Constitution was written for the ruling class of white men which constructed whiteness to be more valuable than any other race. When we discuss institutional racism, it is essential that we realize that the Constitution created it.”
Gee, ya think? "September Sees Record Gun Sales: Some see Democrats’ calls for executive action to restrict guns as cause."
And this was before Roseburg. Just keep running yo mouth, Barack. Just keep running yo mouth:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation processed a record number of background checks in the month of September, indicating that gun sales were at an all time high for the month. The FBI’s National Instant Background Check System processed 1,795,102 applications to buy a firearm in September. That represents a new record: 335,739 more checks than the previous September high set in 2012, or a 23 percent increase. . . September is the fifth month in a row to set a record for background checks. May, June, July, and August all produced record numbers. The summer of 2015 has seen the most gun sales on record.
Forwarded by a friend who commented:
I suspect total number of firearms to be much higher.... That number does not take into consideration; Multiple sales per NICS check, private sales, or sales to concealed carry holders in which the NICS check is waved. What? North of 2 million firearm sold last month?
Libertarians channel Monty Python's Election Night Special. Reinforcing the perceptions of "The Very Silly Party."
A 32-year old Orlando, Florida, lawyer who changed his name to Augustus Sol Invictus and won’t divulge his given name is running as a Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate, which prompted the recent resignation of the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida, who says Invictus wants to start a civil war and is bringing neo-Nazis to join the party, the Associated Press reports. And he says Invictus killed a goat and drank its blood. “I did sacrifice a goat,” says Invictus, in an interview last Friday. “I know that’s probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans. I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness…. Yes, I drank the goat’s blood.”
Election Night Special
Go ahead and try it, schmucks. Collectivist tyranny advocates come out of the woodwork (again) with confiscation proposals (again).
"Large-scale confiscation is not going to happen. That's no reason to stop advocating it. (I also want to repeal all immigration laws and give everyone a monthly check from the government with no strings attached, and will argue for those ideas even though they're doomed.)"

At what point will this country’s actual leaders stop giving a pass to such ideals and govern in the best interests of its citizens. The ones who aren’t obsessed with imaginary insurrections. The taxpayers who want to be able to send their children to school to better themselves — the real American dream — without worrying they will be prey for someone who has been able to operate under the radar and legally amass an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons, all because of a special interest group that has been calling the shots too long. Will it take the formation of a gun control PAC group to embolden pols whose courage puts them on hit lists because of special interest money? Should schools themselves begin a mental health screening process, barring admission to those who don’t pass? Somebody, do something.
I find this this second anti-NRA screed from a Hollywood collectivist to be especially ironic and, for our purposes, quite a help. Those of us who have been fighting this long battle from an absolutist position that the Founders would recognize know that the NRA elite is predisposed to compromise and has been for decades (Don't take my word for it. See Neal Knox's The Gun Rights War. In my own experience, I recall vividly how the NRA had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the Fast and Furious scandal struggle, only to later try to take credit for it.) By focusing on the public statements (and not the private waffling) of NRA leadership, this collectivist twerp is helping us by reminding that leadership that we are all in this together and that it is about confiscation of all weapons, not "common sense gun safety." Add in that as long as the GOA is poised on their right flank to remind them of the potential membership and monetary costs of "compromise," that will help stiffen the NRA leadership's spine and tend to deter them from selling out the interests of their membership (who are by and large unaware of their predisposition to preemptive compromise). Failing to understand the nuances of the various NRA "pragmatist" positions and lumping us all together as "extremists" is a lost opportunity for a divide and conquer strategy. I'm rejoicing in the antis' ignorance.
