Nutters Against Guns Revert to type

via Cybershooters
“Way Off Target”

Anti-gun campaigners are angry over proposals to authorise airgun training lessons for ex-convicts.

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is in talks with Notts Police over the controversial scheme.

And it claims it could help cure the city’s gun crime problems.

The BASC wants to introduce air gun lessons for young offenders convicted of minor weapon offences, to teach them how to be more responsible.

Janice Collins, of Mothers Against Guns, whose son Brendon Lawrence was shot dead in St Ann’s in February 2002, said: “This is the most stupid proposal I’ve ever heard. It’s ridiculous.

“Ex-convicts, and anyone else, should not be using airguns at all.

(my emphasis)

When BASC and MAG shared a platform at a gun crime prevention conference many commentators heralded it as the dawn of a new age of understanding an co-operation.  It seems that we are a very long way from reaching any kind of common ground with the MAG witches.
It is clear to me that showing youngsters the proper handling of air weapons and the dangers and legal aspects is a step along the way to the youngsters respecting the air weapon.  I’m convinced that a certain degree of low level vandalism is promoted by the effective prohibition of airgun sports by local councillors and other such organisations.  Given an appropriate venue with things like knock down targets and instructors will give young airgun users somewhere to use their weapons responsibly and cut down the possibility for unsafe shooting.  BASC would appear to agree with me.

The BASC believes teaching youngsters how to fire an airgun responsibly and about the dangers of the weapons, is likely to make them think twice about using them dangerously.

So long as we get the knee jerkers crying foul everytime airgun training is mooted we have no hope of educating and channeling youngsters interest in shooting into legal channels.

UN is Evil

The UN is evil.  Fact.
The UN is trumpeted by liberals and socialists as the next best thing to heaven on Earth, to them it is a virteous organisation staffed by those who work tirelessly to ensure freedom and safety across the globe.
Nice theory.  The UN is filled to the brim with representatives of some of the most oppressive, un-democratic, anti-freedom regimes imaginable.  That we should look to this vipers nest for guidance and rule making should be laughable, but it is not.  To the liberals and communists socialists this is a defacto world government.  This to them is A Good Thing.
The reality from the UN is corruption and the propping up of despots.  Dictators the world around are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of an international small arms ban.  Of course they are, because this means that their goons will be the only ones allowed firearms by international law.  So when their opponents rise up they will be able to viciously put down resistance with the firm backing of the UN.  It is nothing more than a genocide charter and yet our own government loves the idea.  You don’t have to dream about black helicopters to see that a future revolt over forced EU citizenry is on the mind of these statists and that removing all privately owned firearms is their way of seeing off this possibility.
The first real gun grabbing legislation back in the early 1920’s was made with one eye on popular uprising and every piece of anti-firearms legislation since has been to shore up this beginning.  The incidents at Hungerford and later Dunblane were seized upon by the Home Office with glee as it gave them the excuse and popular mandate to outlaw weaponry which may have been of use in any future uprising.
Perhaps if governments spent more time wondering why citizenry would revolt, they would make any such revolt un-necessary?

Toddle over to UN Is Evil for some more UN based bobbins.

Incest monster can’t stay out of the news

Some people just have no sense at all.  In a previous post Daft Bint I spoke about how a woman accused of having sex with her son just couldn’t stay out of the news.  Now she’s done it again! 
Sex with son mother sells her story

A West Cumbrian mum who had sex with her son has sold her story to the Sunday Sport and described the incest as “one of those things.”

Cleary someone who has sex with their own son isn’t the sharpest tool in the box, but selling your story to the Sunday Sport?
Crazy.

The Free Church of Country Sports

Many folks will have heard of The Free Church of Country Sports via the press.
From the Saint Hubert

The philosophy of the Church is based on the life of Saint Hubert, the Patron Saint of Hunters.
Legend has it that Hubert discovered his faith while hunting in the forest on Good Friday morning, when he received a vision of a stag with a crucifix between its antlers.
The Founders of the Free Church of Country Sports believe this story has relevance today, as do our fellow sportsmen in Europe. We believe that those who take part in country sports receive spiritual inspiration from their activities.
We believe that the countryside and the bounty it provides is the work of God and that our activities bring us closer to our Creator, very much in the spirit of Saint Hubert.
The Feast of Saint Hubert officially opens the hunting season in Belgium on November 3, and our Patron Saint of Hunting is also represented on the Jagermeister’s Badge of Honour in Germany.
By tradition, the badge offers the hunter protection and “honours the Creator and his creations.”
The Church intends to introduce a badge in the United Kingdom and is also to mark the Feast of Saint Hubert on November 3.

Arrests over lamping incident

According to BBC News an 18 year old has been arrested in connection with the suspected lamping accident in West Yorkshire.
Also from BBC News

Three more men have been arrested in connection with a shooting incident in which a 12-year-old boy was seriously hurt at a golf course near Castleford.
The men, 60, 44 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

An 18-year-old arrested on suspicion of wounding has been released on police bail.

The boy was shot in the head and is in a “stable but poorly” condition at Leeds General Infirmary

So it looks like the previous rumour of kids with air guns was just flotsam.

Britain in Europe Campaign Buggered Now

The fight to reject the EU constitution received a huge boost today as professional Ginge and corrupt bastard former EU Commisioner Neil Kinnock joins the board of Britain in Europe.
Or as the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation puts it

The news will be seen as a boost for the pro-European cause

Yes of course it will!
BiE can look forward to Mr Kencock coming out with such pearls of wisdom as

There is no such thing as outfluence

No, just flatulence coming out of your yap Kencock.
Kinnock joins Britain in Europe

Another lamping related shooting

Boy, 12, shot in ‘hunting’ area

A 12-year-old boy is in a critical condition in hospital after being shot in the head in an area popular with night time hunters, known as “lampers”.
The boy was walking near a golf course in Castleford with his father at 2030 BST on Thursday when he was shot.

A police spokeswoman said he was taken to Pontefract General Infirmary where he remains in a critical condition.

The father found his son with a gunshot wound after the pair were distracted by a bright light, she added.

West Yorkshire Police are trying to trace anyone who was in the area around Whitwood Golf Course at the time of the incident.

“They are particularly interested in anyone who may have seen or been using bright lights. The area is known to be popular with lampers,” the spokeswoman added.

The third such incident in the news in recent weeks.  I hope this will be the last.  After the previous two incidents, one would think that lampers would be doubly cautious.  Seemingly the message has not got through.
This incident is all the worse as it seems the perpertrators have chosen to run rather than face up to their crime - and crime it is.

Update
There is some talk that the weapon was an airgun and the perpertrators were kids.  Clearly this doesn’t make it any more excusable, but it does explain a few things.

Police Praise Attack Hero

From my local rag The Times & Star

Unusually in this story the police are not saying how this man was very foolish and that he should have called the police and stayed clear.  Mr Wilson went out of his way and potentially put himself in personal danger to protect the peace and apprehend a criminal.  This of course is our Common Law duty, but it is sadly unusual these days.  The reason that this is unusual is that for many years now we have had the police telling us how we should not get involved, how we should steer clear and call the ‘professionals’, how dangerous it is.

“How dangerous it is” to perform your duties.  “How dangerous it is” to help out your fellow citizen in distress or peril.  “How dangerous it is” to uphold the law and make the country a safer place for each and every one of us.

As we all know this has become a self fulfilling prophecy.  Thugs know that they are unlikely to be challenged in the execution of their trade, they know that a passer-by is unlikely to come to the aid of their chosen victim or in defence of property.  Thus emboldened they feel quite safe to terrorise at will.  Combine this with the emasculation by liberal scum in the courts and in Government of the common man in the street by effective removal of the presumption of innocence of one acting to preserve the Queen’s peace, the effective outlawing of any tool that a law abiding citizen would have used to defend themselves or uphold the Queen’s peace and it is absolutely no wonder that being a good citizen is so dangerous.

Kudos for Mr Wilson for not passing by and bravo, but what a disgrace that the Government feels that a man such as this has to expose himself to unnecessary danger by denying him the tools of law enforcement and self defence.

Why Americans Love Guns, Sky One

I managed to watch the show yesterday.  I was reasonably happy with the show overall, it certainly didn’t seem to be the hatchet job I expected.
Kemp met a police officer who was tasked to takle gang crime, a handful of gang bangers, a range owner, a gunshop owner and of course a gun grabber.  There were also a handful of comments from various female gun owners.  Interspersed were some stats on murder rates and gun ownership.
Excepting the gun grabber, all the people interviewed supported the second amendment.  This surprised me a little as the show was centred in LA, Kalifornistan.
In one scene Kemp was shown two firearms, one banned by the Klinton Gun Ban and the other not.  The armourer showing Kemp the guns made the point that the difference was cosmetic and Kemp seemed to understand that if a firearm had two of the features mentioned it would be covered.  Later however Kemp stated in a piece to camera that the Ban had expired and that AK-47s and Uzis would now be legal, seemingly forgetting what the armourer had told him.  The programme was also fond of showing fully automatic weapons, no mention was made of the fact that these are heavily regulated.  The cobblers about teddy bears being more heavily regulated than firearms was also trotted out, the some 20,000 restrictions on firearms (in violation of the 2nd Amendment) not mentioned.
Kemp’s visit to the gang bangers saw him shown a number of illegal firearms held by the gang banger.  I think it fair to assume that the gang banger was a felon and should not have possessed any of these items, which included fully automatic weapons.  The gang banger ‘Bloodhound’ had 23 bullet wounds - how this guy is not dead is a mystery to me.
Overall the show was reasonably balanced, a few repeats of misinformation but certainly not the hatchet job that we would have got from the BBC.

How a Labour Government Creates Jobs

No doubt some of you will have seen this before, but it’s new to me.  Found on Usenet, posted by someone calling themselves Nobbut.

Job creation.......
Once upon a time the Labour Government had a vast scrap yard in the middle
of nowhere.

The Government said, “Someone may steal from the scrap yard at night.” So
they created a night watchman position and hired a person ( hard working
employee) for the job.

Then the Government said, “How can the watchman do his job without
instruction?” So they created a Planning Department and hired two people;
one person to write the job description and one person to do time studies.

Then the Government said, “How will we know the night watchman is performing
the tasks correctly?” So they
created a Quality Control department and two people; one to do the studies
and one to write the reports.
Then the Government said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they
created the following positions: a Time
Keeper and a Payroll Officer; then hired two more people to assist.

Then the Government said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?”
So they created an Administrative
Section and hired three people: an Administrative Officer, an Assistant
Administrative Officer and a Legal Secretary.
Then the Government said, “We have had this organization in operation for
only one year and we are £18,000 over
budget; we must cutback our overall costs.”

So they made the night watchman redundant.

A fictional tale, but one with a ring of familiarity I’m sure you’ll agree.

Sportsman’s Association

Just a wee plug for a couple of associations I am a member of!

Chav Wheels

Quite why someone thought adding this monsterous plank of shite on the back of their Ford Probe (what a silly name) was a good idea is quite beyond me.  It is an ugly car to begin with and this ‘stylistic’ addition does not improve things.

Lethal Attraction:  Why Americans Love Guns

Tuesday 21st September 2004 21:00 Sky One

One-off documentary offering an insight into America’s love affair with guns. Ross Kemp travels to the US to asks citizens, both ordinary people and informed commentators, why the US permits and in many ways encourages, gun ownership.

Sky+ is on standby!
I look forward to seeing just how informed these commentators really are, I wonder if they will include the Stupid Fat Whiteman himself.
I think I can see just what sort of programme we are in for just by reading the last sentence, however I shall try to keep an open mind.
Not much chance of a review tomorrow, I suspect ‘er indoors will be exercising TV monopoly this evening.
