You've Got to Be Kidding?

The Associated Press reports that during a protest organized by Native American advocacy group “ The Red Nation” to stop the relocation of a statue of brutal conquistador Juan de Oñate to outside an official county building in northern New Mexico, a 23-year-old man in a red MAGA cap named Ryan Martinez pulled out a gun and opened fire on the crowd, wounding one man.   Martinez then fled the scene in a “white Tesla” but was soon apprehended by sheriff's deputies. Great, so now we have “pro-conquistador” terrorists?  Who knew?   Now, I’m sure his MAGA attorneys will try and argue that this is all nothing but a “false flag” and that the real perpetrator was a George Soros-financed ANTIFA radical in a MAGA costume.   Of course, the success of that defense is a bit of a longshot, given all those cameras Teslas have onboard.   Hell, his entire getaway was probably recorded in living color and 4K. But seriously?  A MAGA terrorist actually fled the scene of a righ...

Larry Gene Gay, 70, of Springfield, Missouri, is being held at the Greene County Jail on a $50,000 bond after he held a gun to a Price Cutter employee's throat after being told the meat department was closed.   The said employee said he received a call from the meat department about a man behind the counter packing his own meat.   The employee then approached the man and told him that he could not be back behind the counter, at which time the man became upset and said he was going to keep doing what he was doing.   When the employee said he was not going to help him with the meat, Mr. Gay stuck his gun to the employee’s throat.   After police were called and he was confronted outside in his truck, Mr. Gay then claimed he had only showed the employee his gun “Just to say I’m not stealing.   I need you here to help me to get a couple of these steaks.   I’m not going to hurt you.” You bet!  Because nothing says, “I’m not going to hurt you,” like ramming a...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) told host Sebastian Gorka during a recent Newsmax interview, that if the Democrat Party is allowed to take away all your “AR-15s and your AK-47s,” we will end up like Venezuela where they started eating their dogs because the government took away their guns. Now, as many of you know, I’m often a critic, but this time I have to admit Ms. Boebert is right on the money!  Frankly, it kind of makes me wonder why no one else has ever thought about anything like this before.  In fact, word on the street has it that after learning about the Boebert interview, a helluva lot of dogs are asking themselves why they only have a bunch of useless, chewable rubber toys to play with, but no AK-47s.  Obviously, the only logical thing to do is immediately arm each and every American dog with an assault rifle, along with plenty of rounds of live ammo.  As for protecting the dogs of Venezuela, a quick solution might be for Rep. Boebert to consider sending so...

Three people are dead and two wounded after a gunman opened fire at a Greenwood, Indiana shopping mall, in yet another mass shooting that occurred less than three weeks after Indiana authorized “permitless concealed carry” in public areas.   The gunman was eventually killed by an armed bystander who was on the scene when the shooting took place. Well, I’ll be!  A perpetrator was finally shot by one of those “good guys with a gun?”  So, let’s see - so far we’ve had 390 mass shootings in 2022, and one “good guy” coming to the rescue.  Now, I hate to complain, but as more and more states move to allow almost anyone who can breathe to be armed to the teeth, just how in the hell is someone supposed to figure out which guy with the gun is actually the “good guy” every time a gunfight breaks out at the local mall? Of course, if you’re a Republican, the answer to that question is apparently quite simple, “the last one still standing is the good guy.  Everyone else - is ...

With fellow members of the House “Freedom Caucus” looking on, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to the podium and declared that the fourteen Republican Senators who voted in favor of the gun bill should be voted out of office, basically because of their willingness to work with Democrats to pass legislation. Wow, they really ought to turn all this Republican Party turmoil into a video game - “MAGAs vs RINOs.”  Now, is it just me, or does it seem a little odd that a “Freedom Caucus,” wouldn’t allow their fellow Republicans the “freedom” to vote as they so choose on issues like gun legislation?  But, I get where Greene’s coming from on this.  After all, how dare these damn RINOs break party protocol - and show a shred of human decency!  Why, any evangelical can tell you God has forbidden people to hold opinions differing from Greene’s or Trump’s. That said, looking at this photo, it’s interesting to see how everyone in the “Freedom Caucus” is just standing quietly behin...

Missouri Republican candidate for US Senate Eric Greitens has released an extremely violent and controversial new campaign ad that calls on MAGA supporters to “hunt down RINOs,” a term used by the extreme right which means “Republicans in Name Only.”   The ad features Greitens and an armed squad of militia members storming a house occupied by a “RINO,” and all of them opening fire as soon they enter the premises.   Greitens is a former Navy SEAL and disgraced Governor of Missouri, who was driven from office for sexual assault and campaign financing impropriety, as well as claims of physical abuse by his ex-wife. Now, I don’t know about you, but THAT is exactly what I'm looking for in an elected official.  Someone who, if I happen to disagree with any of their policies, will hunt me down, and then storm my house - backed up by a squadron of heavily armed militia madmen in tactical gear.  Of course, Attorney General Merrick Garland will simply laugh and say, “Relax!...

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has just signed House Bill 99 into law, permitting teachers to carry a gun to class after just 24 hours of firearms training, compared with the more than 700 hours previously required.   This is in contrast to the 180 hours teachers need to renew their teaching licenses. Hell, I say forget arming the damn teachers, what they really need to do is arm all the kids.  Just think about it.  I mean, what could be more frightening for a potential school shooter, than to come face-to-face with 25 or 30 super hyped-up kindergarten kids, all packing fully-loaded Glocks?  Why, maybe instead of physical education, they could hold “High Noon” style shootouts in school hallways? Now, you can call me old-fashioned, but I always assumed teachers were there to teach, not act as armed security guards.  Are we seriously expecting a 55-year-old biology teacher to go full Rambo on a shooter?  On the other hand, I suppose even teachers barely ...

While ridiculing actor Matthew McConaughey for his impassioned White House speech about the mass school shooting that occurred in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas, Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield blasted all attempts at gun control measures, and instead urged parents to buy ballistic shields for their kids, which he claims will easily fit inside their children's backpacks. Oh, I get it, “ballistic shields” are fine, but COVID face masks will psychologically traumatize them for life.  Gee, that reminds me, I just saw a pic of a bunch of “open carry” freaks showing off at some Texas beach this week.  So, does that mean parents should pick up some “ballistic swim armor” too?  Wait, that sounds like it could turn into a “Catch 22.”  See, if the kids don’t wear the “swim armor,” they might get shot - but if they do wear it, they’ll probably drown.  Decisions, decisions! Gee, now that makes you wonder just when are we gonna finally " well regulate " that darn militia,...

Republicans appear to be on the defensive after all the recent mass killings, while continuing to offer the same tired old excuses for the carnage - including “too many doors in buildings, Dr. Fauci and face masks, wokeness, women winning the right to vote, video games, Critical Race Theory, transgender bathrooms, abortions, and the end of slavery.”   All this has Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert so upset, that he’s put out a video where he’s shouting at Democrats “How dare you?   You think we don’t have hearts?”   He went on to falsely claim most gun deaths occur in Democratically controlled states, when the opposite is actually true. Not a surprising conclusion I suppose, especially coming from a guy who once suggested that all we really need to do to fight climate change, is simply “alter the Earth's orbit.”  So no, Rep. Gohmert, it is not so much that we’re questioning whether or not you have a “heart.”  It’s more like we’re questioning whether you have a “f...

NPR reports that at least 5 people, including the shooter, are dead at the St. Francis Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma - in the nation’s 233rd mass shooting of 2022.   Police say the shooter had a rifle and a handgun on him, and died following a self-inflicted gunshot wound. So, the gunman killed 4 people and then took his own life?  Gee, why is it these morons always seem to do everything in the wrong order?  Naturally, Republicans’ first question is “Forget about the people, are the guns OK?”  Not surprisingly, the gun told authorities it’s completely innocent, claiming it was the “bullets” that did all the damage. Now, I assume because this shooting took place at a medical facility, folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Republicans are gonna blame everything on Obamacare .  Which kind of makes you wonder, where the hell were “the good nurses with a gun” when all this came down?  See, this is what can happen when you have a “gun-free” medical ce...

Only three days after a gunman in Uvalde, Texas, unleashed the deadliest attack on an American elementary school since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Donald Trump, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz are all busy making plans to be featured paid speakers at the NRA's annual meeting in Houston, Texas this week. Now, I was checking out the conservative media response to this tragedy, and according to Fox News “analysts” - the reason this shooting occurred was that the fence around the school just wasn’t high enough.  Who knew?  Anyway, their solution is put armed guards in all the classrooms.  Terrific!  That means on top of everything else, parents will then have a group of underpaid, gun-toting meatheads to worry about.  Gee, wonder who’ll stop them, if one of these “armed guards” decides to go ballistic? Meanwhile, another Fox News “analyst” suggested that schools need to forget about getting kids useless things like art supplies and physi...

Video Shows Matt Gaetz Threatening 2nd Amendment Retaliation Against Silicon Valley :   While speaking at a rally in Dalton, Ga, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla) complained that Silicon Valley is acting like the “internet’s hall monitors,” trying to “suppress us, discourage us.”   Gaetz then immediately added that “Well, you know what - Silicon Valley can’t cancel this movement, or this rally, or this congressman.”   He then sent the crowd to its feet in a roaring round of applause and a standing ovation - when he said “We have a 2nd Amendment in this country, and I think we have an obligation to use it!” Why, who knew Matt Gaetz disliked technology companies so much?  Gee, you’d think he’d at least be a little bit grateful for technologies like Venmo.   I mean, after all - didn’t they see to it that he could quickly and conveniently reimburse all the women (and/or high school girls) for those “services” they rendered for him?   That said, I get that Re...

Texas Legislature Passes Bill Allowing Texans to Carry Handguns Without Permits:   The Republican-dominated Texas legislature has just approved a bill that would allow people in Texas to carry handguns in the state without a license, a background check, or even a gun safety course.   The legislation is now on its way to Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who says he looks forward to signing it into law. I’ll tell ya what, those Texas Republicans sure know how to “get all their sitting ducks in order.”  Why, this just sounds like a terrific idea.  I mean, who gives a “hoot” about things like affordable healthcare, a reliable electrical grid, clean water, safe sewage disposal, and well-funded schools - when armed Texans are now gonna be free to go ahead and shoot a store clerk or barista - simply for asking them to wear a face mask while shopping in their store?  Now, that my friend, is what Republicans call liberty! In fact, these new “anyone can carry laws” should work ...

Conservative Calls for Gun Subsidies to Protect Citizens From BLM:   Appearing on the ultra-conservative One America News Network (OAN), right-wing activist Rogan O’Handley - also known as “DC Draino” - praised gun ownership and bragged that “there are now more guns than people in this country,” adding “God bless the 2nd Amendment!”   O’Handley then insisted we should have subsidies in this country for citizens to buy more guns to protect themselves from the "looting, violence and murder” of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa.     OK, so let me get this straight.  Government-subsidized guns which foster more political hate and violence are perfectly fine, but government-subsidized healthcare to protect American families from financial disaster should a healthcare emergency occur is purely evil - because that’s socialism?  Have to say, that makes perfect sense - assuming you’re a completely insane psychopath.   Now, as far as “protecting citizens ...

Mass Shooting at Louisiana Gun Shop Leaves Three Dead and Two Wounded:   Three people were killed and two others seriously wounded, in a mass shooting at the Jefferson Gun Outlet on Saturday, just outside of New Orleans.   The incident reportedly began after a gun store clerk simply asked a customer to not walk around with an unholstered loaded gun, until he was in the store’s designated firing range area.   This upset the customer, so he opened fire. Well, aside from all that, it sounds like a simply wonderful place to shop!  Now, I wasn’t there, but my guess is that the argument was probably over which one of them gets to be called - “the good guy with the gun.”  Oops, guess that honor will now have to be awarded posthumously.  Just another “unavoidable necessary sacrifice” our society must make, so our country can continue to live “free.” That’s right, just another proud patriot, who believes that his right to do absolutely anything he frigg’n well pl...
