NICHOLAS KRISTOF - HYSTERICAL LIBERAL CRYBABY

In an op-ed printed of course in the NY Obama Times, this liberal idiot twisted facts, cherry-picked facts, and basically ignored REAL facts by using outdated bullshit. But Kristof is just another slack-jawed liberal seeking to implement a flaccid agenda by squeezing every bit of hysteria out of a shooting spree in Tucson, committed by a deranged leftist kook. (Wednesday's essay out early by popular demand!)

EXCERPT: "To protect the public, we regulate cars and toys, medicines and mutual funds. So, simply as a public health matter, shouldn’t we take steps to reduce the toll from our domestic arms industry? Look, I’m an Oregon farm boy who was given a .22 rifle for my 12th birthday. I still shoot occasionally when visiting the family farm, and I understand one appeal of guns: they’re fun."

The first line of bullshit is the "protect the public" spiel. The Constitution allows basic regulation of commerce and allows states to further regulate these issues. Note that STATES can regulate but not the Federal Government and this is where Kristof first inserts his head up his ass. For example, South Dakota CAN pass a law requiring ALL legal citizens over 21 to obtain a firearm for their self-defense (as per our old militia laws) but again, the Federal Government cannot, i.e., Obammykare ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL because of the federal mandate. Next, ya really GOT to love liberals when they pull the well-worn crapulence of: "I'm a republican but..." or "I voted for Reagan but he..." or "I USED to be a Republican..." He may have been a farm boy but Kristof is a big government loving liberal without a clue as to the Constitution, the Second Amendment, or the intent of our Founding Fathers with regards to firearms.

The second line of Kristof's bullshit followed close on the first one: "All that said, guns are far more deadly in America, not least because there are so many of them. There are about 85 guns per 100 people in the United States, and we are particularly awash in handguns."

Absolute and total hogwash. First off, firearms save about 2.5-3 MILLION lives in a year, either by being drawn and the criminal sees it, OR, in actual usage. Second, according to the stats at Nation Master, there are only 3.6 handgun deaths per 1 MILLION Americans and only 2.3 per million for long arms (rifles and shotguns for you dumbass liberals reading this) and ICELAND has a higher death count at 3.36 per 1 million. Hardly a shootout at the OK Corral every day right? But then again, Kristof is writing for liberal morons, who either can't think for themselves, won't think for themselves, or who enjoy safety because the uncertainty of criminals as to whether their neighbors are gun owners. As a point of fact, the top 15 causes of death in the United States as listed by the CDC do not even show firearms as the cause.  

Then Kristof mewls: "(The only country I’ve seen that is more armed than America is Yemen. Near the town of Sadah, I dropped by a gun market where I was offered grenade launchers, machine guns, antitank mines, and even an anti-aircraft weapon. Yep, an N.R.A. dream! No pesky regulators. Just terrorism and a minor civil war.)"

Wow, could this nattering nabob get any more condescending? The Gunny has been a Life Member of the NRA for many years and he has yet to hear of anyone wanting to own a rocket launcher or seek to create a violent revolution (minor civil war) but he HAS HEARD liberals like Obama's drone Valerie Jarrett, commie Van Jones, and serial scumbag Francis Fox Piven call for "violent revolution." Maybe this pissy-legged liberal crybaby could write his next op-ed piece explaining how liberals can call for revolution and the Lapdog Media ignores it. Oh, and the Gunny wonders how much of that weaponry in Yemen came from the former Soviet Union/Russia.

Then Kristof further regurgitates dreck from his oral sewer with this jewel, "Just since the killings in Tucson, another 320 or so Americans have been killed by guns — anonymously, with barely a whisker of attention. By tomorrow it’ll be 400 deaths. Every day, about 80 people die from guns, and several times as many are injured."

It took the Gunny about two minutes to find out that Nicky got his stats from a gun control website. Gee Nick, ya think they PAD those numbers by, say, including gang violence in them? Duh. Factually speaking (alien to liberals), doctors kill more people in America than guns do and there are over 80 MILLION gun owners and roughly 700,000 doctors. In fact, according to the CDC, homicide is the #15th cause and there were only 18,124 of those (2005) but Kristof would have you believe that 29,500 people are murdered with guns! That is kinda like a liberal candidate getting more votes than there are voters in his/her area. When Kristof speaks, you can almost hear: "(cough) Bullshit! (cough)"

Laughably, he continues with this joke: "The chances that a gun will be used to deter a home invasion are unbelievably remote, and dialing 911 is more effective in reducing injury than brandishing a weapon, the journal article [American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine by David Hemenway] says. Really? The Gunny wonders how fast the police respond in say, places like New York City, especially when the streets are clogged with snow? Indeed, 911 calls average, according to LIBERAL papers, to be about 20 minutes in response. That is a LONG TIME to wait when your life is on the line. The USA TODAY wrote:

1.  Few cities know exactly how long their emergency crews take to reach cardiac arrest victims, and most are selective about how they portray their performance. Only nine of the 50 largest cities track their response times precisely enough to know how often emergency crews reach the victims of cardiac arrest within six minutes.

2.  Most other U.S. cities don't know their response times, refuse to disclose them or use imprecise measures that are meaningless in determining whether emergency crews reach victims in time to save them.

So most cities don't have a clue about their 911 response times but Kristof does. Hmmm. It appears that this idiot has excelled at creative writing but then again, he writes for the NY Obama Times. The Gunny would rather take his chances facing an intruder ARMED than hiding under his bed UNARMED, waiting for the cops to arrive. In Chicago, residents are happy if the cops even SHOW UP! Dial 911 at your own peril it seems.

But perhaps the best of all is this one from Kristof: "We can also learn from Australia, which in 1996 banned assault weapons and began buying back 650,000 of them. The impact is controversial and has sometimes been distorted. But the Journal of Public Health Policy notes that after the ban, the firearm suicide rate dropped by half in Australia over the next seven years, and the firearm homicide rate was almost halved."

REALLY NICKY?

It appears that Ol' Nick was again, spewing bullshit: "The Australian gun ban was supposed to halt gun crimes....the opposite has happened. "On November 1 last year, gang members fired a hail of bullets at a Sydney police station using high-powered 9 mm automatics or semi-automatics. Five police were inside. This barrage of shots in a city street was exactly the sort of scenario the buy-back was supposed to stop. Apparently the bad guys didn't get the memo. According to Australian officials, despite the government buy-back program, firearms activity has increased, especially in Sydney."

Inspector McComb noted: "meanwhile crimes involving guns have soared during and since the Australian buyback."

Oddly enough, the criminals NEVER get the memo OR follow the laws, that is why we call them CRIMINALS. Oh, and in Britain, THEIR gun ban is also a failure.

"In the 1990s alone, the homicide rate jumped 50%, going from 10 per million in 1990 to 15 per million in 2000 (Home Office 2001). Also, police statistics show that violent crime in general has increased since the late 1980s and, in fact, since 1996 has been more serious than in the United States. The rate of violent crime has jumped from 400 per 100,000 in 1988 to almost 1,400 per 100,000 in 2000. Clearly, there is no evidence that firearm laws have caused violent crime to fall. The firearm laws may even have increased criminal violence by disarming the general public. Despite banning and confiscating all handguns, violent crime—and firearm crime—continue to grow. The number of violent crimes involving handguns has increased from 2,600 in 1997/1998 to 3,600 in 1999/2000. Firearm crime has increased 200% in the past decade."

It is also a failure in Canada.

Kristof's pathetic solutions made the Gunny laugh. One gun per month to reduce trafficking? Oh yeah, THAT will stop criminals from going to the black market for guns much like Mexico's total gun ban has kept guns from the cartels. Improve background checks? Why, the Gunny bought a BRAND-NEW Springfield XD (.45) YESTERDAY and dedicated it to Obama's call for more gun control, and HIS background check went through the FBI's NCIC with TWO photo IDs and it was tied to my SSN. How can that be improved on? Oops, it can't. Too bad that Sheriff Dipstick in Pima County failed to do HIS duty or Jared might not have been able to purchase his firearm. BTW, again, where were his parents in all of this? One wonders. And that waiting period? A joke.

Lastly, Kristof whines: "The best memorial [Tucson] would be to regulate firearms every bit as seriously as we regulate automobiles or toys.

THAT is funny. How do you address such rampant Liberal stupidity?

In conclusion, what Kristof's puked up pablum is, is just another dumb-ass liberal spewing out total bullshit from his oral sewer, to the last remaining morons who read and believe the crapulence that the Old Dead Gray Lady pumps out. (No wonder their stock is worth about 1.50 and a corn dog.) Bogus and twisted "facts", and laughable figures from gun control sites are what he used to write an article with about as much honesty in it as an Obama speech and he is little more than a liar and a charlatan. What the liberal quack fails to realize is that it is HIS PARTY that has weakened criminal penalties to the point of it all being a joke.

Indeed, Mayor Bloomberg commits felonies with strawman buys and the ATF does nothing. Tookie murders people and the Left tries to free him. Mumia kills cops and the Left tries to free him. Ayers and Dorhn kill cops and they become PROFESSORS and are sorry that they did not bomb ENOUGH! The Blind Sheik bombs the WTC and Lynne Stewart becomes his useful idiot? Could it be that criminals DO NOT fear going to prison because liberals and the ACLU have made it a party time? A Joke? Could it be that criminals no longer fear the death penalty for their capital crimes because they know that the liberals will rally to their cause (and blame society for it all)? That IF they go to death row, they'll have about 20+ years to chill on our dime and maybe die of natural causes before they meet the executioner and then only AFTER endless appeals, filed by the usual suspects (ACLU, SPLC, etc), again, usually on our dime. The government coddes criminals and actually seeks amnesty for illegal alien criminals! Hmm.

Evidently, CRIME DOES PAY and we can thank liberals since the 60's for it.
