A purpose in life!

Thank goodness! I've finally found a purpose in life. I was actually getting kind of bored, sitting around the palace, tuning up & polishing my collection of .50 caliber machine guns and organizing my collection of vintage gilt-handled swords, again; and watching the new servant girl saunter around in her I-dream-of-Genie outfit. Things can really get, you know, stale after awhile here in Nirvana.

Anyway, while meandering happily along through the ever-surprising twists and turns and rabbit warrens of Google, looking for a certain preciously-rare Finnish deer hunting rifle chambered in that purportedly magic caliber: 260 (mmmmmm, the missing link which will complete my hunting rifle collection, for the time being), I stumbled across a website that naturally caught my ever-wary eye.

I'd rather not even print the name, for fear that some poor lad or lass (their young impressionable minds having already been perverted by the tortured, state-sponsored and state-sanctioned illogical shrilling of the Criminal-Enablement/Anti-Gun Rights...vermin, for lack of more detestable descriptor) will actually navigate their way over and read the effluent which gushes forth from every page of lies, disinformation and misrepresentations throughout this disgusting little website. For purposes of brevity and clarity, and in order to counter their own campaign to mislead the unsuspecting victim into clicking into their cesspool of deception (their site's name leads one to believe that he is clicking into a pro-firearms site, a real good ol' boy title, which I nevertheless refuse to print, just as any right-thinking, ethical person wouldn't print the address of a kiddyporn site) let's just call it Anti-civil-rights Sucker's bull-Shit a9.....dot-com. (it was a toss-up between BlatantLies. com, SissyIdiots.com and the eventual winner)

Anyhow, over at ASSa9.com they're mad as hell...at people who own and/or manufacture guns & ammo. They seem to labor under the delusion that owning a gun, any gun, is akin to owning, say, a flamethrower, or maybe Zyklon B---the deadly poison gas utilized by the nazis(un-capitalized intentionally) during their reign of terror in an effort to rid their hemisphere of millions of Jews, Poles, Czechs, Gypsies and anyone else they deemed unworthy to share their rarefied air with. And this ASSa9 group appears to be willing to stoop to ANY level of unethical behavior---their chief tactics being evidently a mixture of public disinformation and collusion with elected officials and bureaucrats---in order to win what they freely refer to as a "war" between us gun owners and them, the weasels.

The first thing that caught my eye was a link to a site which is dedicated to "educating citizens about the imminent danger of .50 caliber rifles in the hands of terrorists." Forget the fact that, as of this post, there have been zero domestic instances of a terrorist (nor even your garden-variety domestic criminal) EVER utilizing a .50 caliber rifle to pull off a "terror." Indeed, there are no good reasons to use a .50 caliber rifle in the first place, yet there are plenty of reason NOT to use them.

1) Why on earth would a terrorist take the chance of exposing himself by purchasing, either directly or indirectly, such a monster of a rifle? Especially when there are dozens of calibers much easier to get ones hands on AND won't raise so much as an eyebrow at the gun counter. Granted, the ballistics aren't as good; but no terrorist is going to plan an attack whose success hinges on a 1500- or 2000-yard shot.

2) The darn things weigh in between 25 and 50 pounds. A lot to stuff into your fanny pack as you're jogging along the path that leads by the reactor.

3) There is a lot of training (not to mention a lifetime worth of arthritis) that goes along with being proficient with such a beast.

4) Bombs, mortars, poison gas, poison arrows, knives, airplanes, 338 rifles, 408 rifles (both over 1500 yard guns in qualified hands), pickup trucks, 10 devotees bent on going to paradise, etc., etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum. They'll all do the job with equal if not better odds of success. In a nutshell, there are a million ways to attack any given person, place or thing; eliminating ONE of those ways is like killing one ant in your kitchen: pointless.

5) Lastly: does ANYONE with a neuron's worth of common sense seriously believe that a terrorist organization, if their plan really did hinge on a successful 2000-yard rifle shot, would be deterred from obtaining whatever caliber and make of rifle---be it a .50 caliber rifle, a 1922 Montgomery Wards 22 long rifle, or maybe an RPG(?)---which they deem necessary to complete the job?!?! Seriously, with thousands of tons of drugs and various other contraband being smuggled in through our porous borders every month, and with millions of sea containers floating into our harbors each year (hell, you can build one in your garage for chrisake!), can any intelligent person say with a straight face they believe that by adding one more toothless law to the 20-some-odd thousand gun laws already on the books, that we will stop a terrorist attack? (If so, I've got a nice Polish revolver I'd like to sell you. Cheap. It's a classic. Only shot once.)

Anyway, like I was saying, thanks, ASSa9.com, for giving me a purpose in life.

More on this later. Maybe even a new blog dedicated to exposing these idiots for what they are: wimps who just can't stand the thought of you or I being able to defend ourselves against the poor, downtrodden........thug.

VERY sincerely,

Jefferson
