Homeland Security spokesman admits: "more than 100,000 armed law enforcement personnel in DHS"

Added to an already alarming list: 
  • 100,000+ armed law enforcement personnel in DHS
Plus what we already know DHS has in their armory :
  • 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammunition.
  • 7,000 Select-fire "Personal Defense Weapons."
  • Predator drones capable of identifying whether a citizen is armed.
  • 2,700 "Mine Resistant Armor Protected" assault vehicles.
And Janet still refuses to discuss just who the Department of Homeland security is arming itself against.

There was a time when astronauts were worthy of respect.

Gabby Gifford's husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, recently purchased an AR-15 rifle and "high-capacity" magazines. Upon learning the media was aware of the purchase, Kelly announced he was turning the rifle over to the Tuscon Police. He made no mention of the high-capacity mags or the .45 pistol he also bought at the same time.

This is what Kelly posted on his Facebook page when the news leaked:
Looks like the judiciary committee will vote on background checks next week. I just had a background check a few days ago when I went to my local gun store to buy a 45. As I was leaving, I noticed a used AR-15. Bought that too. Even to buy an assault weapon, the background check only takes a matter of minutes. I don't have possession yet but I'll be turning it over to the Tucson PD when I do. Scary to think of people buying guns like these without a background check at a gun show or the Internet. We really need to close the gun show and private seller loop hole.
Hypocrisy? Publicity stunt? Caught in a lie? Well Mark, if not, what then?

65.4 Million Guns Bought Since Obama Took Office

from cnsnews.com
By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.

According to data compiled by the FBI, the number of Americans purchasing guns has skyrocketed since Obama was elected.
In 2009, there were 13,984,953 background checks for Americans buying firearms. If we subtract the 1,212,860 checks completed in the month of January, the total checks for the year under Obama were 12,772,090.
For 2010, background checks totaled 14,320,489. In 2011, checks were 16,336,732, and in 2012, 19,463,832. Background checks for the month of January 2013 were 2,483,230.
This totals 65,376,373 background checks completed since President Obama's first full month in office, or 44,748 background checks per day!
By comparison, the number of gun purchases in Obama's first term is 91.1% higher than President George W. Bush's first-term total of 34,214,066 background checks.

Jesse Jackson Jr. used campaign funds to buy himself a $40K Rolex.

and furniture for his home and expenses for a "social acquaintance" and.....

I was just sayin' this story gets better every day. 



It’s been nearly three months since Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from Congress, but now NBC News confirms that Jackson has signed papers in a plea deal within the past several days.

Jackson’s case is being handled by the US Attorney’s office in Washington DC. While no public announcement is expected today, those with knowledge of the investigation believe the loose ends now deal with Jackson’s wife, former Alderman Sandi Jackson, and whether or not she is ultimately charged.
Under the terms of the deal Jackson signed, he pleads guilty and his fate – as to jail time – would be in the hands of a federal judge, not yet assigned. He would repay the government hundreds of thousands of dollars – for items like the $40,000 Rolex watch, travel expenses for a woman he described as a “social acquaintance” and furniture purchased for his home.
Converting campaign contributions for personal use is strictly prohibited by federal law. It opens Jackson up to “not more than 5 years” in prison.

It’s clear Jackson’s move to resign from Congress works in his favor as his attorneys negotiate this plea deal.
Just last month his wife also resigned from her elected position as Chicago’s 7th Ward alderman, however her role in the alleged misuse of campaign funds still may land her in legal trouble. For years she received a $5,000 a month check from her husband as his political consultant.

Listen to your pal Joe Biden, he knows what's best.


Joe Biden Recommends Buying A Shotgun When An Earthquake Strikes
  • In a Google+ Hangout centered around gun control, Vice President Joe Biden went off on a strange tangent on shotguns, assault rifles, and protecting yourself during an earthquake against other people (or, zombies?).
  • "A shotgun would keep you a lot safer – a double barrel shotgun – than the assault weapon in somebody's hand who doesn't know how to use it, even one who does know how to use it. You know. *Points to the camera*
  • It's harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun. So, if you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells."
"Harder to use an assault weapon to hit something..." What the fuck? Jesus H Christ, Joe Biden is an idiot.

Oh and BTW, "zombies" is just code for African Americans. What, you didn't know that? Some funny guy in Hollywood thought that one up years ago.

What happens when you fail to register your own name as a domain?

Someone else does, and in this case senatorfeinstein.com is now the property of Ares Armor, purveyor of AR15 rifles, parts, accessories and a variety of tactical gear. Good going guys!

Hypocrisy, D.C. style

Dianne Feinstein carried a concealed firearm. Once again, guns are just dandy for the chosen few,  but the rest of us are on our own when defending ourselves.
