HOW MANY?

1 death in KC, MO. Several injured. Bad. Horrible.

Now-w-w, let’s see. 397 homicides in Memphis yr 2023, 100 more than yr 2022. Another record like this year.

I feel very bad for the one killed in KC, MO. However, you will pardon me if I’m neither shocked nor surprised. It seems every time there is a large gathering, someone dies. Moreover, it is getting difficult to feel bad for the deaths when they occur at a rate of over one a day.

Maybe, it is a good time to do someting besides talk about it, and I do mean something besides gun control. Believe it or not, people are killed by other things. Murders took place long before guns.

A good thing to remember, murders usually begin inside the mind of the culprit, freqently hours or days in advance.

Solutions for Shooting Deaths

The Tennessee Dems think they have a solution to decrease the deaths by shooting in the state. Oddly it is primarily the one county in which they just almost totally rule where most of the killings occur. [Avg about 1 per day]

That does not speak well for their ideas. Maybe those in Memphis should pay more attention to the areas where the killing is not so prominent.

Then, of course they can’t do that no matter how many die. They would have to admit they have been wrong all these years and they are are going to make sure to dig their heels in good to prevent that.

Politicians Who Seek Personal Power

In the series of books I have written about floaters, I call them controllers, sort of like Old Joe and a number of senators and representatives. This would Include city mayors who like the prestige more than the job. That includes the brass in the military more interested in their news headlines than the mission and the good of his men. And then, of course there are those George Soros district attorneys who, for personal gain, have released untold numbers of the bad guys.

Need I really continue? Is any of this new to anyone?

V. P. Claims Guns Are Greatest Cause of Deaths

Roughly 40,000 deaths by guns. 90,000, 100,000 and 120,000 for last three years by drug overdose. She knew it when she spoke. It was a prepared speech. She had access to the numbers, more than me.

I might be a few thousand off here or there, Mrs V. P. not close.

Maybe she should fire her fact checker. Then again, maybe she doesn’t mind getting it wrong. Maybe it was intentional. That is sort-of the way dems do things. It’s all about power. If it means a few fibs along the way, so what. It’s what they do. It is their method. It is their pattern.

Then when they are caught, they ignore it, as does the media.

Rule #1 (For Winning a War)

Don’t provide assistance, especially financial, to the enemy.

Ever heard of it. Moreover why would anyone need to explain it to you. I mean, it is casual to the most obvious observer.

Just what dope would give big bundles of untraceable cash to an enemy?

Truth be told, we should expect Old Joe to raise his hand. He has supplied Iran billions. Those billions have been used to buy weapons used on American men and ships.

Now, really. Do I even have to ask if that is smart? Is that the way to win a war?

Then again maybe Old Joe wants to lose. Maybe he doesn’t mind the loss of thousands of lives. Old Joe doesn’t want Americans to have guns, but he has no qualms arming those that want to kill who would love to kill our soldiers.

Anyone want to send their kids over to fight the war where Joe’s financing the enemy.

I Have Proof

It’s not killing that Old Joe objects to. It’s the guns. I have proof, absolute. Just look at the stats. Deaths involving guns, in the hundreds… Joe and his cohorts are figuratvely fit to be tied. Deaths involving drugs approaching 100 thousand, well that gets the figurative “ho-hum.” I ask you, do you really think Old Joe cares about the deaths of your loved ones?

To ignore the stats is to ignore the death, the pain and real problems.

Maybe Something New

They just voted for an official impeachment inquiry. if it works as it should, witnesses will be called. Documents will be subpoenaed. Depositions, theoretically will be made.

The hitch, if the dems refuse to cooperate, no one will enforce it. No one will go to prison for refusing to cooperate. Old Joe runs the Justice Department. The FBI answers to Justice. If the order goes out to ignore the investigation, it will go nowhere.

If by some miracle, they do start cooperating with the investigation, it will be something new. It will also be a big surprise to many.

Also, if it does go forward, Old Joe’s done. Not only will it all come out in the open, but also the rats will start abandoning the sinking ship, and very rapidly. No one wants to be associated with all that corruption.

The Method of the Wolf

As the wolf pack approaches the herd of buffalo they know they stand no chance against the herd. Therefore, likely to some degree by instinct, they seek to separate out the one. Generally, they look for the week one or the one that doesn’t remain close to the heard. The stragglers are the natural target of the pack.

The herd has not the intelligence to know that if they were to always charge the wolves instead of running away, the pack would have to search for dinner elsewhere. The wolf diet would not include buffalo. There is no way the pack could survive the trampling of so many hooves.

We as humans know better than the buffalo, right.

Yet, when Hitler took over Germany, he used the same method as the wolves. When he took over most of Europe, he used the same methods as the wolves. When the Bolshivics took Russia, they used the method of the wolves.

We called it the domino affect, where one small nation falls after the other. However, the truth is they were following the example of the wolves, whether or not they were aware of it. Always seek out the weak and separate. Then in days, they take over Hungary or Romania. The method failed in Afghanistan, but because of the help of the US.

Today, even at this time, the communists play the part of the wolfpack. They have imprisoned hundreds of innocent people from January 6. We, the herd, did nothing. Now what stands in the way. The herd has been scattered and we are in fear.

We live in fear of the woke and we live in fear of a justice system that is controlled by the wolfpack.

Simple Math

Take away all legal guns; only illegal guns left.

Make it illegal to own guns; only the criminals will have them.

Stop and think about for a while. Do you really want to live in a town where only the criminals carry guns. You just might prefer a different town, different state, or maybe a different country.

Then again, I might be wrong. If you’re a criminal type, you just might like it to know your victim doesn’t have a way of defending him/herself.

Sometimes, the person who wants to disarm the town is the criminal’s best comrade.

The Holes in The Logic

Many times, the argument has been made that the reason so many shootings take place in NY, NY is that many guns are sold in other states and brought in.

Firstly, there is the obvious one. If all imports were stopped from other states, they would be imported from other countries, as was the case of alcohol during prohibition. Might I reminind one and all, alcohol came from Canada, though it was also illegal in Canada.

Also, may I remind one and all, many made alcoholic beverages. It was easy. Guns too can be made in basements. I would suspect it is where some are made today.

Secondly, the sales and purchase is legal in most states. Why is it that NY, NY continues to have problems when states such as Texas don’t. By the way, the same question applies to Chicago.

Thirdly, when NY, NY makes guns illegal, who is it that goes out of state to buy the guns. Mostly, it’s just the bad guys. So it is…all the bad guys have guns and all the good guys have sling shots.

Well the good guys can all just call the police, who are being defunded.

Incidentally, how long will it be before NY, NY outlaws slingshots, which any kid can make in 20 or 30 minutes.
