Grandpa Walt: a lesson in kids being kids

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Fred Hoot

My friend Ron shared this with me and I have to share it with my fellow GS2AC members.  Remember when kids playing with toy guns had real fun?

Every Saturday morning Grandpa Walt found himself babysitting his three grandchildren…all boys. The kids always wanted to play ”war,” and Grandpa somehow always got coaxed into the game.
His daughter came to pick up the kids early one Saturday and witnessed Grandpa take a fake shot as Jason pointed a toy gun and yelled, “Bang!”
Grandpa slumped to the floor and stayed there motionless. The daughter rushed over to see if he was all right. Grandpa opened one eye and whispered, ”Sh-h-h, I always do this. It’s the only chance I get to rest.”

And back then there were no shootings like those that we see today.  In fact, today we even have children getting arrested when they menacingly point a piece of pizza at another student.  Right around the corner from me they locked down a school for the presence of a NERF gun!

Maybe we should just let children be children and play.  You might even be able to catch some shuteye while you are at it!

Brain Wash, White Wash: Liberal Lies Versus Liberty

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Mark Towber

By hook or by crook ;  Liberals have always been out to destroy the Constitution.     It’s that pesky document that keeps getting in the way of  depriving people of private property rights,  freedom of  thought,  freedom of religion…. and oh, of course that most intolerable of things,  the Second Amendment  and the right to keep and bear arms.

Recently,  the man most involved with the recent  Obama Administration scandal that trafficked guns to violent Mexican drug gangs,  was faced with a gotcha’ moment.   Video surfaced of Eric Holder advocating that the American people should be “brainwashed” about firearms. ( 1 )  His words, not mine.

Obama’s Loony Legacy: Giving Guns to the Drug Cartels…. Take Them From American Pilots

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Mark Towber

The English have a saying:   “Too smart by a half”.   It is a fancy way of saying that someone is a highly educated idiot.

And when it comes to the Obama Administration,  criminal activity and gun control it certainly must apply.    Because anyone with a lick of common sense would never have considered the following as rational:

Let’s make it easy for the Mexican drug cartels to get weapons and ammunition  while making it harder for US Commercial Pilots to have the guns they need to stop airline hijackings.

I kid you not.  This is the current state of thinking within the Obama administration.

Gun Control: Irrationality Breeding Insanity Breeding Tyranny

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Mark Towber

 

When a foundation  is flawed,  the home built upon it is unsound and unsafe to those who occupy it.

The same can be said about those political movements  whose belief system is flawed  and the impact that the belief system has upon the members of a society.

Gun Control is a clear example of this principle in action.    Just ask the father who was recently arrested because his daughter  drew a picture of a gun while at school.   I kid you not.  Arrested for a drawing.  ( 1 )

Gun Control advocates begin with the belief that  firearm violence can only be reduced by restricting the presence of  guns in society.   Initially, these restrictions are always framed as “common sense ” laws.     But invariably,  each proposed restriction is claimed to be insufficient,  and this leads to another  layer of restrictions,  which spiral  into further layers of restrictions.   And while gun control advocates will never openly admit to it,  their ultimate goal is for these  ” common sense ”  restrictions to completely  sanitize society from the scourge of personally owned firearms.

Second Amendment Foundation receives a $12K check from City of Omaha

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Fred Hoot

The SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) has received another check for defending our Second Amendment rights.  This time it was for $12,000.

Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the SAF and close friend of the GS2AC, fought the City of Omaha, Nebraska and won a Second Amendment rights case.  The $12,000 is for legal fees; although I am sure the SAF spent a lot more than that to win the case.

Earlier, we posted a picture of our friend, Alan Gottlieb holding a check for $399,950 signed by Rahm Emanuel for the City of Chicago.  The SAF successfully overturned the Chicago handgun ban.

Show your support for the Second Amendment on Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Fred Hoot

The anti-gun movement is trying a boycott of Starbucks because they allow open and concealed carry of firearms in all stores as long as people abide by the state laws at the Starbucks.

We are staging a “Thank You for Supporting our Constitutional Rights” get together at the following Starbucks, this Tuesday, February 14th at 8:00 in the morning.

Address: 1338 The Alameda, Suite 1, San Jose, CA, 95126

Click here for a map.

Please wear something that identifies you as pro-gun, preferably a GS2AC T-Shirt!

Please do not wear cammo, as we do not want to appear to be out-of-control crazies.

Also, please do not open carry, as this could detract from our Thank You.  Go inside, order a drink and thank the barista/cashier for Starbucks protecting our Constitutional rights, particularly the Second Amendment. Continue reading →

Daughter disses parents on Facebook – Father shoots laptop and posts on Facebook

Posted on February 11, 2012 by Fred Hoot

It looks like a case of tit-for-tat mixed with some child discipline and recreational shooting.  It all started with the daughter posting a pretty bad post about her parents on her Facebook.

She then asked her father to repair her laptop and install some new software.  Her father works in the IT area and discovered the post.

In addition to grounding her for her second disrespectful post, he also does some recreational shooting by putting 10 rounds into the laptop.  One of the rounds was from the mother who told him to put one there for her.

He should have been wearing glasses and I doubt the bullets were exploding as he said.

If you can’t trust government with the small things, can you trust them with your rights?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Mark Towber

This is no joke. I could not have made this up if I tried to.

Recently, the County of Los Angeles passed a law BANNING the following at public beaches ……. throwing Frisbees, throwing footballs and digging holes in the sand more than 18 inches deep.   ( 1 )

I say again…. I did not make this up.    If your kids  dig a hole in the sand while playing at the beach,  and the eco-nazi  beach guard thinks it is more than  18 inches deep,  you can be hit with a  $1,000 dollar fine.    The same applies for the Frisbee or football infraction.  ( Nerf  types included ).

This means that the  Nationalist Socialists who run the County of LA  operate with a mindset based on the following:

a.   Frisbees and footballs are some kind of lethal projectiles.

b.   Digging in the sand and making sand castles are detrimental to public safety.

c.   The same people who can be trusted with driving a 2 thousand pound hunk of  metal at 65 miles per hour can not be trusted with managing the intricacies of a 12 oz piece of plastic traveling at 10 miles per hour.

d.   The idiots who can’t  balance a County budget  think they have more wisdom than the average  beach goer chucking a football.

Yellow orange silver peach colored NERF gun shuts down Cupertino High School in California

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Fred Hoot

A janitor at Cupertino High School caused a code red shutdown of the school by reporting a student with an “UZI-like gun.”  The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department stormed the school only to find the brightly-colored NERF guns sold at Toys-R-Us and other toy stores.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department responded as they should have to a report of an UZI at a high school.  And their well-trained officers instantly saw the toys and probably had a good laugh of relief.

What followed next shows you how the zero-tolerance policies of schools combined with the lack of training make me wonder how people react to things they really don’t understand.
