As the SS DHS arms up with 7,000 AR-15s, two of America’s most prominent politicians unveiled their new gun confiscation bill this morning.

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that, in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Virginia Bill of Rights

With surnames like Feinstein and Bloomberg, one might expect that they would know a little bit more about their own history.

Feinstein says that the only purpose for semi-automatic rifles is to kill school children, so why is the White House buying 7,000 for “personal defense?”

The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons” (PDW) — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians. The solicitation, originally posted on June 7, 2012, comes to light as the Obama administration is calling for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines.

Citing a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP), Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com reports that DHS is asking for the 7,000 “select-fire” firearms because they are “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.” The term select-fire means the weapon can be both semi-automatic and automatic. Civilians are prohibited from obtaining these kinds of weapons.

Barack Obama: ‘I go shooting all the time’

ROFLMAO

Asked in a magazine interview whether he had ever fired a gun, Mr Obama said he did so with guests at the president’s rural retreat.

“Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,” he said. “And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations.

“And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake”.

Not “out of hand”, we just always know that you are lying about everything.

Mr Obama’s plans for tighter firearms regulations were drawn up by Joe Biden, his vice-president, following the massacre of 26 people, including 20 young pupils at a primary school in Connecticut last month.

Barack Obama: ‘I go shooting all the time’ – Telegraph

Only an idiot Constitutional scholar would think that the second amendment has anything to do with hunting.

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.

But ……. Obama says it was YouTube.

During the dying days of his four decade rule, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi cast an ominous prophecy. If his regime fell, jihadists would subjugate northern Africa, inflicting widespread violence and terror.

“Al-Qaeda considers all the people to be infidels,” Mr. Gaddafi declared in a speech weeks before NATO began its military intervention in Libya. “They deem all people their enemies. They know nothing but killing.”

The Islamists would pour in from Afghanistan, Algeria, and Egypt, he warned, saying, “These are beasts with turbans.”

Now, with France locked in a battle with extremists in Mali; with al-Qaeda-linked groups carrying out a massive hostage taking in Algeria, and with Britain, Germany, and France telling their citizens to leave Libya because of an unspecified threat, the man many considered mad may not have been so crazy after all.

Feinstein: NRA is ‘venal’

Feinstein, however, said Sunday it boils down to one question: “Does government have an obligation to protect those children?”

“I believe we do,” she continued. “I believe we do.”

Feinstein: NRA is ‘venal’ – CNN Political Ticker – CNN.com Blogs

Left-wing nutcases are incapable of grasping the fact that everyone wants to protect children. Placing children in a building with a “Gun-Free Zone” sign outside is absolutely insane. It is an invitation for psychos to kill. No one would deposit their money in an unprotected bank – so why does Feinstein want to continue placing children in danger like that?

Feinstein displays the thought process of a two year old. She imagines that the NRA is some evil organization, when in fact the NRA represents the parts of the country which are determined that our children will have a future in a free and prosperous America.

Fortunately, despite worries about a warming planet, no one is predicting the end of snow anytime soon. Some cold places will see more snow, because warmer air can carry more moisture. In the Northern Hemisphere, snow coverage this past December was the greatest since records began in 1966, Rutgers University’s Global Snow Lab reported. But Dr. David Robinson, a climatologist at Rutgers, warns that year-to-year fluctuations and regional differences can deceive casual observers. In general, he says, there has been an “overall decline in snowfall.”

There are so many things wrong with this paragraph, it is difficult to know where to start.

First – winter snow extent has been increasing, and four of the five greatest snow extents have been since the year 2000. Does Dr. Robinson have trouble understanding his own graph?

But even dumber is confusing snow depth and extent.

Some cold places will see more snow, because warmer air can carry more moisture. In the Northern Hemisphere, snow coverage this past December was the greatest since records began in 1966

The meaning of record snow extent is that snow fell in more places than ever before, not that a few places had deeper snow. Extent is a measure of area, not thickness. The reason for the record snow extent was because cold air was coming further south than normal.

Do you have to prove that you are a completely incompetent to get a job in the global warming business? These people are getting everything exactly backwards.
