Knives Don’t Kill People as Effectively As Guns, And NEVER By Mistake
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting on April 11, 2013
Let see:
Adam Lanza shot 26 people in five minutes. NOBODY LIVED!
Dylan Quick stabbed 14 people in 15-20 minutes. NOBODY DIED.
I’m sick and tired of the “guns don’t kill people; people do” mantra. Its too stupid for words.
If it ain’t a hunting rifle, it was designed for a singular purpose, to give a human being the ability to kill another human being. The same cannot be said about spoons, knives, cars, hammers or hamburgers.
I’d like to see a 4-year-old kill a 6-year-old, or the wife of a Tennessee Sheriff’s Deputy or a 3-year-old, his own father, with a knife.
And these people are stupid.
Thom Hartmann Schools Caller Who Insists 2nd Amendment is to Stop Tyranny (Video)
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, NRA on April 5, 2013
Thom Hartmann explains to Larry the caller why the 2nd Amendment was written to allow citizens to defend their country, not defend AGAINST tyranny.
What would it take for you to stand out in front of your house with weapons and defend yourself against the federal government?

Here’s Why Obama Should Use Presidential Executive Authority to Control Guns
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA, Some people should not own guns on January 13, 2013
Obama should exercise his presidential authority to effect sensible gun control nationally for two reasons:
1. It bring a badly needed Supreme Court challenge that will likely involve the “Militia” part of the second amendment.
2. It will turn up the volume for historians and constitutional experts in a broad national debate in which second-amendment-extremist will learn a more reasonable interpretation of the second amendment; one that is supported by fact and history instead of the version Justice Scalia smeared like skid marks into our national undies.
We are finally beginning to have an honest discussion about the true meaning of the Second Amendment. Until Sandy Hook, gun rights extremist managed to dominate the conversation. They were allowed to ignore the “A well regulated Militia, being necessary” part.
Here is a PERFECT EXAMPLE from an interview by Nashville’s WSMV-TV on Friday.
It is a fact that the average James Yeager and other Second Amendment Advocates cannot actually recite the whole sentence:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Obama should use his executive power if it will mean Wayne LaPierre, the average 2nd amendment “advocate” and crooked snake oil salesmen like David Hardy will be FORCED to read and memorize THE WHOLE SENTENCE and address the HISTORICAL FACTS surrounding the writing of the Bill of Rights.

What types of people shouldn’t be allowed to have guns?
Posted by Shane Smith in 2nd Second Amendment, assault weapons, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA, Republicans, Some people should not own guns, This Blog on January 10, 2013
This type.
And who is that? James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, a company that specializes in selling exactly the types of weapons we don’t need, and then training you to use them. Apparently to overthrow your government.
Sadly that is not his original channel video. Why? Because he is a total coward, and already took the original down. But on the internet, things have a tendency to pop back up again.
I eagerly await all the true patriot tea bagger supporters of freedom and haters of treasonous people who I am sure are already formulating a response to remove this man who just explained that he is planning on committing treason. I am sure they are shutting him done as I type this.
You know how people sometimes say “if only we had warning before he went crazy and flew off the handle” after a shooting? This video is a red flag. A giant screaming red flag. With fireworks.
Increasingly the first red flag that you are the type of mentally unstable person who shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun is that you own a gun.
Carolyn Cain, Utah County Special Ed Teacher and Gun Worshiper Embarrasses Utah
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, Republicans, Some people should not own guns, utah, Utah Politics on January 9, 2013
This is why Utah is the laughing stock of the World.
The National Rifle Association countered with “arm the teachers.” Gun clubs claim hundreds of teachers are applying for free weapons training. Two hundred people showed up for a class in West Valley City, Utah, outside Salt Lake City, on December 27, 2012, for example. Not all of the people who took the course were teachers. But some were, including Carolyn Cain, who teaches special education kids in kindergarten to the 6th grade in Utah County, Utah.

Dead Kids at Sandy Hook Thanks to NRA/Gun Lobby Demonstrable Lies and Distortions
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Alan Korwin, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA on December 16, 2012
Thoroughly debunked years ago, the gun lobby’s favorite research – a 1995 study by Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz that reported an astounding 2.5 million defense gun uses (DGU) each year in the United States. Yep, you read it right; 2.5 million DGUs PER YEAR!
The Kleck study claims that 2.5 million times per year, someone uses a gun to defend themselves. That’s more defensive gun uses than happened in WWII in Europe in 1944. The Kleck study is so flawed the only thing it measures is the wild imagination of gun owners.
As recently as this month, the NRA referenced Kleck’s deeply flawed and thoroughly refuted study AGAIN in their magazine, America’s 1st Freedom.
With the help of liars like Alan Korwin and others, the NRA continues to feed its readers demonstrable lies and distortions.
Here, for your reference, is a short list of the many peer reviewed, refereed, academic articles published that clearly refute Kleck’s astronomical claim.*
- “The gun debate’s new mythical number: How many defensive uses per year?” Journal of Police Analysis and Management, 1997
- “The myth of millions of annual self-defense gun use: A case study of survey overestimates of rare events” Chance – American Statistical Association, 1997
- “Defensive Gun Uses: New Evidence from a National Survey” Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1998
- “The Relative Frequency of Offensive and Defensive Gun Uses: Results from a National Survey”, Violence and Victims, 2000
- “Myths about Defensive Gun Use and Permissive Gun Carry Laws” Berkeley Media Studies Group, 2000
- “Comparing the Incidence of Self-Defense Gun Use and Criminal Gun Use” Harvard Injury Control Research Center, 2009
The ultimate proof the Kleck claim is bullshit, is the fact that despite spending 35 million dollars/year to deceive the public and threaten politicians, in fourteen years since the study, the gun lobby has funded numerous FAILED attempts to repeat Kleck’s study.
*It should be noted that Gary Kleck has refused to defend his study ever since it was published.

Gun Lobby REJECTED (by US Senate)
Posted by Cliff Lyon in assault weapons, Gun Control, Some people should not own guns on July 22, 2009
Can you say
REJECTED!!!
The 58-39 vote Wednesday defeated a measure giving people with concealed weapons permits the right to carry their firearms into other states that have similar gun laws. Sixty votes were needed to approve the provision, an amendment to a defense spending bill. Read all about it!
The winds of change are in the air. National Rifle Association (NRA) candidates got trounced in the 2008 elections.
The NRA spent over thirty-one times more money against Obama than it spent in its negative efforts in 2000 against Al Gore.
This virtually unreported fact (with the exception of OneUtah) is nevertheless, the strongest indicator of the trending sentiment of the American people.
In head-to-head races between candidates endorsed or “A” rated by the NRA and candidates endorsed by the Brady Campaign, Brady candidates won more than 80 percent (including eight of eight U.S. Senate races).
If you look beyond the noise of the few and vocal gun-freaks, you will find an America who while still holding on to the rather fanciful, historical but wrong interpretation of 2a, have grown weary of the spineless machismo of the NRA. Their strongest advocates are best described as armed ‘Birthers.’
…and we all know what kind of Americans they are.
Gun Permits: What The Latest Mass Killings Have In Common
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Gun Control on April 8, 2009
In summary, if you want to do a mass killing, you can easily obtain the fire power to do some serious damage.
From: Gun Permits: What The Latest Mass Killings Have In Common
They had more in common than unleashing carnage _ nearly every gunman in this monthlong series of mass killings was legally entitled to fire his weapons.
So what does that say about the state of gun control laws in this country? One thing appears certain: the regulations aren’t getting stricter. Many recent efforts to change weapons laws have been about easing them.
Despite eight rampages that have claimed 57 lives since March 10, “it hasn’t sparked any national goal to deal with this epidemic. In fact, it’s going the other way,” said Scott Vogel of the Freedom States Alliance, a gun control activist group.
The mere fact that this is being written in America about America in the year 2009, speaks to the filthy, ugly, bare white-butt rear end of this Country. The Love Canal of our national culture.
Obama Will Take Away Your Guns FOR SURE According to World Expert
Posted by Cliff Lyon in assault weapons, Mormon LDS, Republicans, The Constitution on April 7, 2009
Beck denies responsibility for Pittsburgh shooting, adds that Obama “will slowly but surely take away your gun or take away your ability to shoot a gun, carry a gun”
This is good news for gun owners because pretty much every major prediction/warning Glenn Beck has ever made, was wrong. This is a classic technique of apocalyptic Christians of which he is one.
So there ya have it. Gun owners can rest easy on Glenn record.
