When Mrs Roosevelt carried a piece

Posted on June 12, 2013 | Comments Off on When Mrs Roosevelt carried a piece

I can’t vouch for the authenticity of this “State of New York, County of Duchess, License to Carry Pistol is Hereby Granted” to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt on Aug. 5, 1957, but it sure looks like the real thing.

Pity it does’t say what kind of iron it was, a .22 “ladies gun” or a full hog 1911 .45 caliber semiauto. Probably the former.

Since Wormtongue seems to identify with her then late husband (to the point of stealing one of his campaign slogans, i.e. Forward) I wonder whether he knows of her carry permit and has given any thought to the hypocrisy of his continued pursuit of new gun control laws.

Naw. At the very most, ol’ worm would only concede that the elite (and, in particular, the Democrat elite) certainly should have and should exercise rights not granted to the little people—who only deserve to be targeted by the Democrat’s IRS.

Via Monkey In The Middle.

Rule 5: Ashley Lawrence

Posted on April 10, 2013 | Comments Off on Rule 5: Ashley Lawrence

President Pinocchio allegedly wants to ban these semiautomatic AR-15s. I think the illegal silencer is a movie prop as Ms Lawrence has appeared in horror flicks. (Although it seems [see comments] silencers are legal in Texas, in case you want to murder without making any noise.)

I say allegedly because President Pinocchio seems to know he has no chance of banning them. But it’s a perfect distraction from the bad economy and continuing high unemployment. Quick, look over there: gun control, assault rifles, gay marriage, war on women, etc…

DiFi’s impossible dream

Posted on December 29, 2012 | Comments Off on DiFi’s impossible dream

Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco has developed a comprensive gun control law that, among other things, requires everyone with a gun to register it with the government, apparently via their local police, and (oh my) be fingerprinted at the same time.

John Hindraker at PowerLine thinks, reasonably, that her little law has no chance to pass the Senate (too many Democrat senators in Red States would be risking having to find a real job) and if it did, it would never pass the House, where there are too many conservative Republicans.

Moreover, there’s the not inconsiderable problem of getting gun owners to own up to how many guns they own and turn up to register them. Heh. Small chance of that, I say, even if the local police had the money or the manpower to carry it off, especially in gun-happy Texas.

Even those gun owners who might be willing to voluntarily comply (very few would be my guess) would have to think twice after the recent New York newspaper’s privacy-invading stunt of publishing the names, addresses and phone number of all owners of registered guns in their circulation area.

Thus DiFi’s impossible dream really is nothing much to worry about.

UPDATE:  Obozo stakes claim as Best Gun Salesman in history when he kinda, sorta claimed he intends to push DiFi’s dream through Congress despite some anticipated “resistance.”

As Instapundit deadpans: “You don’t know the half of it, Barry.”

MORE:  A for-example on what the wannabee gun controllers face is what happened to the newspaper that invaded the privacy of gun owners: they got so many perceived threats they’ve hired armed guards for their office building. Heh.
