The irony of claiming to defend the US Constitution while preparing for armed insurrection against a lawfully elected government is completely lost on these idjits.

The problem continues to escalate because responsible parties and leaders fail to condemn the treason.
Crazy is acceptable. Years ago, the media and establishment ignored the lefties like Rubin and Hoffman knowing their loony ways were making parody of government while calling for revolution. A generation later, the inbreed of disenfranchised and broken families make scapegoats of our government. Patriotism no longer represents our moral code. If you choose to make government the issue then you probably have had personal failures. If you demand fairness then you open yourself up to CondemNation.
The right wing, CondemNation, link their ideology to their quest for power and they take up any battle perceived as infringement on their culture from abortion to guns to a black man leading the business of their government. We as a nation must continue to identify the intolerant and the spiteful. The majority of our Nation continue to believe in the good and kind. But this type of fear instigated by CondemNation, ObstiNation, extremists, and white people must be called out when they talk armed revolution. The silence is shameful.
Ted Cruz seems to be one of their leaders...he represents many opposers.
Funny, he calls POTUS Obama radical....

DOCUMENT: Stupid, CrimeCops: Perp Had Loaded Revolver In Her Vagina
Handgun was found inside Oklahoman during strip search
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/loaded-gun-in-vagina-687341
MARCH 6--An Oklahoma woman arrested Monday on drug charges had a loaded handgun hidden in her vagina, according to police.
The weapon was discovered during a search of Christie Dawn Harris, 28, by a female officer with the Ada Police Department. According to a police report, the cop spotted the handle of the five-shot revolver "sticking out from" inside Harris, who is seen at right.
In a less shocking find, investigators also discovered plastic baggies containing methamphetamine lodged in the crack of Harris's buttocks.
The Freedom Arms .22-caliber handgun was loaded with three live rounds and one spent shell, cops reported. As to where the weapon was recovered, the police report noted, "gun located in suspect vagina."
At around 3:45 AM Monday, cops spotted Harris and another woman, Jennifer Delancy, inside a vehicle parked outside a closed restaurant. The women were in the front of the vehicle and "both seats were laid all the way back." Asked by a cop if the car contained weapons or drugs, Harris, who was behind the wheel, answered that "she did not think there was anything."
But when a drug dog alerted to both the driver and passenger sides of the Toyota Yaris, cops searched the vehicle and found meth, drug paraphernalia, a pistol, and a loaded magazine. Harris and Delancy were then arrested.
While being transported to jail, Harris "stated several times that she needed to go to the bathroom."
At the lockup, Harris was directed to change out of her clothes into "jail clothing." When directed to lower her underwear so that a female cop could check for contraband, Harris "advised that she was on her period and did not want to."
Harris eventually complied with the cop's order. "I observed at that time a wooden and metal item sticking out from her vagina area," reported Officer Kathy Unbewust, who added that she "pulled the item from her vagina, and found it to be a 5 shot revolver with rounds in the chamber."
As seen above, the police report includes a photo of the handgun seized from Harris, who is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon on felony weapons and narcotics charges. (4 pages)

Many American White Men Worship Guns Because of Sexual Insecurity, Entitlement, and Profit
You won't find anyone willing to dare say it much in the media, but a good percentage of the white men who oppose gun control of any sort – and who back measures that would even allow alleged terrorists and straw purchases for drug dealers to buy guns – are just afraid that without their guns, their phallic power will be reduced to size.
You can feel at least temporarily reassured when a long-barreled assault weapon compensates for just another average manhood; it's an irresistable testosterone high to the beleaguered white male.
Call this Freudian psychobabble analysis, but when you add it into the mix of just angry white males who want their guns to show that they are still top dog on the political, social and marital hierarchy, you got a good percentage of the psychologically need gun owner. A gun, particularly assault weapons and lethal militarized handguns, are at least two things: a prosthetic dick and a sign that even unemployed white guys still rule the Western World and sit at the head of the kitchen table.
We're talking about a dying patriarchy making a last stand with the ownership and brandishing of weapons that provide the semblance of ultimate power over life and death.
Sure, there is the rapidly decreasing tradition and understandable ritual of hunting in rural areas, particularly for those who actually need the meat because of near poverty. And there are handgun target shooters who truly regard handguns as a sport -- which they are in some cases. But these white men are a minority in a culture war that causes even elected Democrats to tremble in fear at voting on a gun control measure, even a law that might aid law enforcement in apprehending criminals, but the gun lobby opposes it for some obscure reason to rally their supporters around.
Let's face it, the more white guys feel besieged by a multi-cultural society in which women and minorities have chewed away at their perch until it is about to crash to the ground and leave them equals among other humans, the more fierce and maniacal the opposition to regulating guns as dangerous instruments of death subject to serious regulation becomes.
That is to say that a gun, or multiple numbers of them (which is the trend per gun owner over the past few years), provides a sense of potency, a shot of dominance that allows one – in some states -- to walk around "open carry" with a handgun. "You see who I am," the handgun symbolizes, "I am of the white guy lineage that conquered the world from the heathens, that wears a 'white hat,' that has anchored civilization since the launch of European empires. This gun tells you one thing; don't mess with me."
Add this to the militia conspiratorialists, the gun profiteers (manufacturers and the whole chain of distribution including gun stores and gun shows), and the guys like NRA honcho Wayne LaPierre who are pulling in hefty salaries running high-octane incendiary and fanciful Alamo campaigns – and you got the beginnings of understanding why gun control never gets much past "go." In fact, except with the brief early Bill Clinton passage of the Assault Weapons Ban (flawed as it was and which sunset after 10 years), the nation has been moving incrementally backwards on gun policy.
Memories of gun massacres last a few months and fade away, but the psychological need of the white man for feeling sexually and politically powerful continues like a raging tsunami as progressives forget about the last mass killing, the issue receding among the majority of the nation who support treating guns like other dangerous objects.
On March 29 in the Washington Post, Charlotte Childress and Harriet Childress discussed the culpability of white male gun worshippers in regards to mass shootings (and that is only the most visible edge of the some 10,000 gun homicides each year in the US, in addition to countless gun injuries):
Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we'd have political debates demanding that African Americans be "held accountable." Then, if an atrocity such as the Newtown, Conn., shootings took place and African American male leaders held a news conference to offer solutions, their credibility would be questionable. The public would tell these leaders that they need to focus on problems in their own culture and communities.
But when the criminals and leaders are white men, race and gender become the elephant in the room.
Nearly all of the mass shootings in this country in recent years — not just Newtown, Aurora, Fort Hood, Tucson and Columbine — have been committed by white men and boys. Yet when the National Rifle Association (NRA), led by white men, held a news conference after the Newtown massacre to advise Americans on how to reduce gun violence, its leaders' opinions were widely discussed.
As just one of many logical fallacies in the public gun lobby stance in support of guns as religious objects that must be free of all constraints, the Childresses's point out:
When white men try to divert attention from gun control by talking about mental health issues, many people buy into the idea that the United States has a national mental health problem, or flawed systems with which to address those problems, and they think that is what produces mass shootings.
But women and girls with mental health issues are not picking up semiautomatic weapons and shooting schoolchildren. Immigrants with mental health issues are not committing mass shootings in malls and movie theaters. Latinos with mental health issues are not continually killing groups of strangers.
Of course, black and Latino youth are being shot down in urban areas like ducks on a pond, but the white guy gun lobby could care less about that. Given their reaction to the "post-racial" Obama presidency, many of them probably figure the fewer blacks and Latinos the better.
The reality is that for many of the gun "culture warriors" (and remember that they have the gun industry with a profiteering motive egging them on through the NRA and other gun groups), they are standing at the edge of a cliff with the multi-cultural hordes surrounding them, even governing them. And women are now supervising them in the workplace or in the same jobs as they do, if they are employed. And many women are now sexually independent and don't put up with a male sense of sexual prerogative.
Oh yes, and the American empire is facing threats as globalization eats away at its post World War II dominance, with nations like "the yellow peril" of China becoming economic power houses. Jobs are hard to come by and terrorists abound behind every paranoid turn of the head.
It's not a good time to be a white man wistfully lamenting the age when white men ruled without dissent in the US.
But like a nervous eater who turns to food to resolve anxiety, there's nothing like guns to restore a sense of glories past.
This is not an issue about self-defense; this is about psychological need -- born of sexual and curtural displacement -- assuaged by the possession of a killing machine.http://truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/item/17892-many-american-white-men-worship-guns-because-of-sexual-insecurity-entitlement-and-profit

Another attempt to establish Freud as valid. Still wrong.
Young white guys are picking up guns....young white girls are eating and throwing up. Definitely a mental health issue here. Maybe they have too much leisure time and way too many resources from living in well to do, upper middle class homes/families? From several kids in the family, I keep hearing about Union Schools and how "ghetto" they have become....all the garbage behaviour going on. It is probably too much technology at too young an age - before they develop the balance and maturity to deal with all that computing power. At least the poor gang-bangers can say they have a "reason" - no social support group, no resources, no education,...so they have to "act" out by selling drugs and murder just to 'live'.
I submit there is too much Dr. Zeuss in the world!! Makes at least as much sense as that long winded crock of carp!
I remember a supposed study in the late 1970's or early '80's which purported that men who were in the disco scene were more sexually sure of themselves, more macho, etc.
All the people who listened to rock-n-roll or were old '60's hold-outs like TTC were sexually repressed, compulsive masturbators, or complete closet cases.

It's nothing but garbage, just like salon.com, thinkprogress.com, and the other blogosphere sites. I feel that you think that Nixon, Ford, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Truman were right in what they did.

The responsible way is to check them against this [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] list and they don't know that you did it."

I like how they phrased one of the paragraphs...."at least some of the insane"...
At least some of the insane theories suggested by the poll were dismissed by large majorities. For example, only 7% of Americans in the survey believed the moon landing was faked, 14% believed in Bigfoot and 4% accepted that "shape-shifting alien reptilian people control our world by taking on human form". In other good news, Paul McCartney will be relieved that a mere 5% of respondents believed that he died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double so the Beatles could continue their careers, and just 11% embraced the concept that the US government knowingly allowed the terror attacks of 11 September 2001 to take place.
Personally, I know for a fact there are no shape shifting aliens here on Earth! They are all safe, secure, and comfortable in their base on the dark side of the moon, monitoring and directing the activities from a convenient distance.

Reid is chimerical in a lot of ways....he also is the one who pushed hard - arguably the main architect - to make it legal to conceal carry in national parks.
As usual, there was little leadership on this issue. Even though it was completely unrelated to providing a stop-gap for the recent tragedies, I don't know of many who actually oppose it.
There was a narrow margin in the Senate that could have been bridged through executive involvement, but rather than collaborate, again the president chose to pontificate. He took this campaign to the people (who mostly already agree) rather than focusing on the hearts and minds in congress. He really needs to switch off campaign mode if that is at all possible. His chain of failure will continue to lengthen if he does not.
Or maybe reality struck and they realized that no part of this bill would actually address any part of what was claimed as the stated problem....

As of 33 minutes ago, Senator Reid pulled the gun bill from further debate or consideration.
Jamie Dupree just tweeted this:
Reid offically pulls the senate gun bill.
Reid vows to go back to gun control at a later date, but now Senate will move to internet sales tax measure.
The extremist left is the same kind of slimeball low-life as the extremist right. Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC is now blaming the NRA for slowing down the Boston bombing investigation. Maggot.
His whole premise is "tagging" powder. Obviously has no clue about much of anything, but specifically, regarding this case - no clue on how easy it would be to just make some custom powder.
The REAL problem here is the crying need for regulation of pressure cookers. Sizes should be limited - there is no reason for an individual to own a pressure cooker with more than 7 quarts capacity. It is just too dangerous to allow these things in private hands! Look at this insanity! No one should be allowed to cook or can so many canned goods at one time! This is just wrong! And don't EVEN get me started about ballistic nylon back packs! The name alone shows dangerous intent!
