A Post Obama Era Perspective On Sandy Hook

Sandy Hook Elementary was on full lock down when the killer literally shot his way through the front entrance on 14 December 2012, gaining access to dozens of children and unarmed teachers.

15 December 2012 was the day after twenty children and six female educators were murdered in the federally-mandated gun free zone of Sandy Hook Elementary School. 

Four years ago today statist tyrants of the progressive left were giddy over their assumption gun ban legislation would sweep through congress, be signed by a president eager to disarm lawful Americans, and effectively erase the Second Amendment.

Months passed as our nation struggled with the magnitude of this unimaginable yet completely avoidable tragedy.

Instead of gun control, gun ownership proliferated throughout the nation as Americans overwhelmingly rejected our government's assertion that guns, not evil people, were the problem.

Regardless of their arguments progressive and statists could not convince the American people that disarming was conducive to our safety.

Instead of being repulsed by guns, as the left demanded, we took gun purchases to record highs after Sandy Hook, higher than any time during the gun crazed Obama years, as women gun owners became the fastest growing segment in the firearms industry.

Then came the 2016 Presidential election. With it the regurgitated mantra that Hillary Clinton, the nation's most anti-gun political dinosaur, would become the undisputed President-elect.

Gun culture braced for another war on our natural human rights to self defense from criminal deadly force. 

Progressives again sharpened their legislative pencils on the expectation Hillary would be President, only to be plowed under by the dreadnought of Donald Trump's America First agenda.

After the election freedom advocates breathed a sigh of relief that, for the second time since Sandy Hook, a civil war over guns and natural human rights was avoided.

Civilian and veteran-owned battle ready load outs of assault rifles, gun belts, plate carriers, DBAL, NODs, IFAKs and maxed out chest rigs were downgraded in 'threat level'.

Tactical shotguns came out of hiding to relieve AR and AK rifles as home invasions, not a war with the gun-grabbing Clinton administration, became the most likely criminal encounter for armed Americans.

The sociopolitical defeat of Hillary Clinton, and thousands of Marxist and Islamists she would have empowered, meant the threat of civil conflict over our natural human right to possess firearms was, at least for the moment, over.

Now, with Obama's illegal executive orders and political legacy facing summary execution by President Trump, gun owners have a rare opportunity to reclaim decades of transgressions against our rights, starting with an end to government-mandated kill houses known as "gun free zones".

Just as the Trump Administration is America's last opportunity to handicap progressive liberalism, by deporting millions of Democrat-voting illegals and non-citizens who hate America, it is also a chance, perhaps our last, to hold our incoming president to his word over ending the US government's unconstitutional ban on self defense wherever we, as free Americans in our free country, find ourselves.

The State Will Not Protect You: Ohio State University Vehicle and Knife Jihad

Never Expect To Be So Lucky: Officer Alan Horujko

According to witnesses, Ohio State University police officer Alan Horujko confronted and killed "we've-seen-this-before" Somali derivative Abdul Razuk Ali Artan one minute after the start of the jihadist's car and knife attack that wounded eleven on Monday, 28 November.

Officer Horujko's speedy response and exemplary incapacitation of Artan was, however, a total coincidence since Horujko was not near the incident as a precaution against crime or Islamic violence, but responding to complaints of a gas leak at an adjacent building.

Anyone who has attended a major university knows there is near zero visible law enforcement presence on campus, despite large institutions of higher learning having sizable and capable police departments.

Officer Horujko's quick reaction to Artan's impulsive and, thankfully, poorly-executed attack is commendable, but accidental by virtue of his chance proximity.

The idea of a police officer being one minute from the scene of a premeditated mass casualty event is, therefore, wishful thinking and not something to expect in future  attacks as it has not been a standard in previous attacks.

We are all responsible for our own protection, whether we choose or refuse to be trained and armed.*  

Leftists who staff and administer learning institutions should  note this sign has become one of the most outmoded and laughable images in America's heavily armed society.

 

* It is likely, following Artan's Islamic violence against the Ohio State student body,  numbers of armed students in violation of the university's gun ban policy has doubled, if not tripled.   

Enhance Your Carry Loadout For Holiday Volatility

Preparing for an increase in crime and terrorism during Jewish and Christian holidays.

The holidays are here and bad guys are gearing up to take your stuff, and your life if you allow it. We know there is an increase in criminal activity during the holidays, but Obama's “Hope and Change” America has added societal stresses uncommon to times past.

Leftist acrimony toward state law enforcement, based on the artificial narrative of racism, has emboldened criminals and created a defensive pullback of once proactive policing. 

Intentional flooding of the US with criminal aliens and Muslims hateful of western society have placed more Americans in the cross hairs of opportunistic crime and Islamic attacks.

It's Too Cold For Your Subcompact.

Jacket and coat weather is a good time to change that Spring and Summer EDC for something more substantial, yet comfortable under layered winter clothing. A larger pistol offers improved sight radius, higher ammo capacity, and combat sustainability should a deadly encounter involve more than a knife-wielding meth junkie collecting "donations" at your local Walmart.

My personal cold weather ritual is to switch out both gun and ammo. Spring and Summer's subcompact takes a break for Fall and Winter's full size service pistol, which is easier to access under heavier clothing worn in and outside of retail outlets where “wolves” hunt unsuspecting holiday goers. 

Warm/Hot Weather Carry: Glock 30 w/ 31 Rounds 230gr JHP

Cool/Cold Weather Carry: Glock 17 w/ 54 Rounds 147gr JHP Standard Pressure

First Change Your Carry Ammo.

Unless a practitioner of OWB carry, concealed EDC ammo riding close to the human body is exposed to greater levels of humidity than, say, ammo carried externally on a law enforcement duty belt. In other words, six warm and hot months riding next to your sweaty mass of humanity is enough for those prized JHPs to be escorted to the range burn box.

While modern factory loaded ammunition better withstands tests of time, than its predecessors, loading your mags with new ammo, after six months of carry, ensures every round goes “bang” if needed in a life or death emergency.

Ammo Porn Has Replaced Gun Porn

Assuming you have the smarts to buy a Glock, Sig, or Smith, choosing the right carry pistol was easy. Choosing the “right” ammo, however, is another, far more subjective matter.

Ammunition choices have never been better and are seemingly endless. Between modern JHP, hard cast +P, and products like “Xtreme Penetrator” there is not much walking on two or four legs than cannot be taken down with a single stack 9mm. (See ALASKAN GUIDE, PHIL SHOEMAKER, USES 9MM OUTDOORSMAN ROUNDS IN A S&W 3954 TO STOP AN ATTACKING GRIZZLY)

While one can argue the merits of any reputable load, a wise rule of thumb for self-defense carry is filling your mags with ammo widely adopted by state and federal law enforcement agencies that also meet FBI standards for interior, external, and terminal ballistics. 

EDC Enough Legal Protection

In today's world carrying a gun is not about piece of mind. In addition to unaffordable healthcare and unabashedly corrupt government, the crime and terror legacy of the Obama Administration has increased the likelihood of armed citizens using deadly force to survive an assault or terrorist attack. 

In addition to ample training and weapons competency we need an automated legal plan of action that takes effect immediately after we are involved in a defensive use of deadly force.

Even brandishing your firearm to ward off an attack can invite criminal legal scrutiny, especially for armed citizens living in anti-gun regions of the country. 

Having comprehensive legal representation working on your behalf before police arrive on scene is essential to ensuring your rights are protected and freedom maintained after you pull the trigger. 

Situational Awareness Is Everything, Until The Shooting Starts.

Knowing what is going on around you is vital to not being caught off guard during a criminal encounter. Whether it is two or more men approaching from different directions or a panhandler distracting you while his accomplice moves in from behind, things out of place feel out of place for a reason.  

Human instinct is very adept at telling you when something is wrong. Listen to your "gut" this holiday season and decisively act to protect yourself and loved ones.  

California: Muslim Uber driver rapes 17-year-old passenger

 

“The car service company — which is headquartered in San Francisco — screens drivers’ criminal histories before issuing them licenses.” But it doesn’t screen their core beliefs about how infidel women can be treated.

"Taking A Knee" From The NFL

A buddy and me on the phone NFL Sunday: 

Buddy: Are you watching the 49ers game?

Me: Nope.

Buddy: Who all's playing today?

Me: I have no idea, and frankly the NFL can kiss my ass. 

Taking a Knee From the NFL

As a conservative/libertarian I fully appreciate one's human right to demonstration and protest. I cannot, however, stomach Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick and his minions openly showing their disdain for our nation by promoting the make believe narratives of police genocide and systemic American racism. 

I overlooked "little boy" Bob Costas lecturing 'dangerous and irresponsible' gun owners following the Jovan Belcher murder/suicide. 

For the good of the game I tolerated the unicorn ranch "genius" of NFL liberals, promoting gender study graduate seminar causes, but the BLM input was it for me.

The great American sport of football has become less American, and the lefties at the pro level are spreading their leprosy to Friday nights in our hometowns. 

I will watch when the NFL shuts up, sticks to football, and shows respect for the earth's only remaining example of freedom and individual liberty.

Publicly  protesting for social and political causes is, like gun ownership, a legally-protected and natural human right. That does not mean there are not consequences when one disrupts and disrespects on behalf of fictitious causes like "hands up don't shoot," or legitimizes racist, terrorist movements like Black Lives Matter. 

Terrance Crutcher OIS Was Suicide By Cop

Viewers first look at the Crutcher/Shelby incident: Shelby on the passenger side of her patrol car, gun drawn, giving verbal commands to Crutcher who was approaching Shelby prior to arrival of the police helicopter and second police patrol car.

Terrance Crutcher demonstrated the textbook example of how to guarantee a deadly force encounter with law enforcement in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the night of 16 September 2016. 

 

It is inconceivable that Crutcher, with a prior weapons arrest, drug trafficking prison sentence, and four separate physical confrontations with police, had no idea how to behave when coming into contact with law enforcement. 

 

Mr. Crutcher knew, from extensive personal experience, the consequences for refusing to comply with police verbal commands and knew what to expect for erratic movements, such as touching his belt line, with police weapons flagging his upper torso.

Although none of Crutcher's prior convictions or criminal incidents justify him being killed, he was keenly aware, from his history of refusing to comply with laws and law enforcement, that being confrontational during police contact, which in this case he instigated, will result in one of two outcomes; incapacitation or death. 

 

Police Helicopter Video:

From the Tulsa Police helicopter video viewers see Crutcher refusing to comply with Officer Shelby's verbal commands while walking away from Shelby with his hands raised. In this scene Shelby has her weapon drawn and is on the passenger side of her patrol car. 

 

This means Shelby exited her patrol vehicle, as Crutcher approached her, putting it between herself and Crutcher for cover and distance, or was partnered with another officer who did not emerge from the drive's side of the patrol unit until after Crutcher was shot.

The first explanation, Shelby being alone and using her vehicle for distance and cover, is more probable since there is not another officer on scene until arrival of the second police vehicle (1:03 this video). In this scenario Shelby most definitely warned Crutcher he would be shot if he continued to approach her. 
 

From the police helicopter video we can see, as the helicopter approaches and the second police vehicle arrives, Shelby has her pistol pointed at Crutcher who turns away from Shelby and begins walking toward the driver side of his silver SUV, still not complying with Shelby's verbal commands to stop. 

This rises the issue, in addition to his vehicle being "disabled" in the center of the road instead of the shoulder, why Crutcher approached Shelby's vehicle and what he said to Shelby that caused her to retread behind her vehicle and draw her service pistol.

 

Crutcher was either taunting Shelby prior to arrival of the helicopter and second police vehicle or behaving erratically due to being under the influence of narcotics. 

Shelby, as an armed LEO in a Stand Your Ground state, retreated and used her vehicle to create distance and cover from a much larger male subject who could have easily overpowered her.

 

Whatever his motivation Crutcher, with suicidal negligence or intent, provoked and instigated a confrontation with Officer Betty Shelby and the Tulsa Police Department that resulted the loss of his life. The color of his skin is completely irrelevant.

CPPA's Loomis Should Resign For Cleveland Open Carry Ban Request

Recently Stephen Loomis, President of the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association, called on Ohio Governor John Kasich to violate state law and United States supreme law by demanding a ban on open carry of firearms in Cleveland during this week's GOP convention. 

For years Loomis has been an advocate for law enforcement, not to mention a roaring critic of Obama's war on state and local police, however his emotions overpowered his brain, and his sworn duty to uphold and defend the US Constitution, when he promoted an executive order outlawing open carry in Cleveland. 

“I don't care if it's constitutional or not at this point,” Loomis said, also stating, “I want him [Gov. Kasich] to absolutely outlaw open carry in Cuyahoga County until this RNC is over.”

What Mr. Loomis overlooked, in his understandably emotional reaction to targeted killings of police in Dallas and Baton Rouge, is that no open carry demonstration in the United States has ever devolved into an active shooting incident. 

The Black Lives Matter terrorists who murdered police in Texas and Louisiana were not open carry demonstrators exercising their natural human right to possession of firearms. They were murders intent on defiling the very principles outlined in and protected by our constitution and Bill of Rights.

Loomis, by calling for an extralegal ban on open carry, promoted the very criminality he sought to prevent by demanding the legally-protected rights of American citizens, rights bestowed by virtue of our humanity not government, be sidelined for security purposes despite no active shootings associated with open carry or evidence of an imminent confrontation involving open carry demonstrations in Cleveland.

Although I am not an practitioner of open carry, for purposes of tactical efficiency, I strongly support Americans who exercise their liberty to demonstrate as armed citizens, just as I strongly support all five precepts of the First Amendment.

We cannot have a country based on human rights and the rule of law if we, as civilians, policy makers, and policy enforcers, do not understand that a usurpation of our natural rights, and laws protecting our natural rights, is a crime.

Stephen Loomis, as a senior advocate of law enforcement and law enforcement officers, has lost sight of what makes America special in the world and distinct in history of the world.

Welcome to Obamaland!

LE from multiple departments secure the scene after shooting of Baton Rouge police officers. 

Welcome to Obamaland. Admission is free but the rides will kill you. 

It is my sincere hope that law enforcement officials band together and prevent Barack Obama from setting foot near future memorial services for Baton Rouge police officers killed by a Black Lives Matter - Muslim Brotherhood - New Black Panther Party activist earlier this morning.

Jihadist Barack Obama is an enemy of state and local law enforcement who, everyday, risk their lives to protect and maintain order in our communities. 

Most Americans have no idea how lucky we are to have local law enforcement, as opposed to Obama's preferred federal LE, we do not have to bribe to get something done, get something back, or reacquire our freedom after being "extra-judiciously" detained.

Americans have the fortune of being able to dial 911, anywhere from a location of distress, and have police come to our aid with little regard for their own safety. This is an unbelievably rare and high standard compared to law enforcement practices in most parts of the world.

A word, also, for Republican Members of Congress: You are all culpable cowards for not impeaching the America-hating, Marxist alinskyite Obama. The blood of countless number of innocents around the world, including slain police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, is on your hands.

Despite overwhelming evidence of criminality, and repeated demands by your constituency, no one in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has ever recommended impeachment of the most criminalized presidency in American history.

Black Lives Muslim Part One: Human Intelligence

On 10 May 2015 I submitted an article, "Lessons From Garland TX Attack: This is Only The Beginning", predicting violence and criminality under the Obama administration would skyrocket as the America-hating Marxist alinskyites in the executive branch sewed the seeds of illegal migration, Islamic proliferation, racial discontent, and gun control to intentionally place Americans and local law enforcement in danger for the purpose of "fundamentally transforming America". 

Those unwilling to acknowledge that Thursday's murder of five Dallas police officers was an integral part of Obama's "American transformation" are problematic and useless in regards to solving the problems of our Republic.

In this series of articles we will look at how the Black Lives Matter organization is evolving from an erroneous social justice movement, based on the fictitious themes of "Trayvon Martin and Micheal Brown murdered in cold blood," to an Islamic political action and terrorist organization backed by the well tentacled Muslim Brotherhood.

Before addressing specific threats Islam and the Obama administration pose to state and local law enforcement, thus American society and western civilization, we should first establish reasons irreconcilable differences exist between human beings and how those differences directly relate to human intelligence.

We know from statistics on intelligence that IQ in the Islamic and African worlds rank well below the Western world with average IQ of 67 to 87, compared to that of the US and Europe at 98 to 102.(1) 

This is not to say that people with lower intelligence are inferior, less important, or less capable than those with higher intelligence. One can be "smart" for reasons tied to upbringing and education, yet have lower than average intelligence. There are scores of people with average or below average intelligence earning more money and having more productive lives than people with higher IQ scores.

Effort, opportunity, and creating one's own luck determine how “successful” an individual can be compared to his peers.

On the broad social plain, however, higher levels of intelligence directly correlate with rationality, ingenuity, creativity, and income, not to mention willingness to take personal responsibility and cooperate in a diverse social construct without violating the interests, property, or bodies of others.(2)

Intelligence, or lack of, is one reason Islam, an irrational belief system that prohibits freedom and individual discretion, is primal among less intelligent Africans and people of the Middle East excluding, of course, Israel (Average IQ 95).

Christianity, for example, does not comprise of more rational, fewer violent people because it has been around hundreds of years more than Islam, but because it is a derivative of higher IQ European culture even though it shares geographic origins with Islam.

American race problems relating to social compatibility and domestic security are not, therefore, issues of skin color but genetics as it relates to human intelligence, ability, and  rationality vs irrationality. 

We know, for example, that black American males (average IQ 85), comprising of only six percent of the population, are more likely to have confrontations with police because they commit over 50 percent of crimes for which police are hired by the public to investigate, solve, and prevent. 

Blacks are not being arrested and incarcerated in disproportionate numbers because of their skin color, but because they are committing the majority of crimes which bring them into contact with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. 

Under the current social circumstances fewer black arrests and incarcerations could only result from a "fundamental transformation" of criminal statutes regarding federal and state definitions of crime.  

The United States, in other words, would see a massive reduction of imprisoned blacks and latinos if rape, assault, theft, and drugs became non-incarcerating offenses.

At what point do we, as a nation, stop pretending criminality, fatherless homes, poor single moms with multiple children, staggering drop out rates, failed inner city school systems, incompatibility of Low IQ illegal aliens and irrational Islamic migrants are tied to fabricated white racism and not cultural, genetic, and intellectual attributes? 

At what point does the United States develop a truly free society based on effort and ability instead of wasting trillions more on failed progressive social engineering projects and race quotas? 


The next installment will examine how the leaderless, mostly social media-generated Black Lives Matter movement is ripe for infiltration by the Muslim Brotherhood and what that means for local law enforcement and armed Americans. 


(1). Before stupidly dismissing this article as a promotion of "Nazi eugenics" note that European Jews, the race Nazi Socialism sought to eradicate from the European continent, have the highest average IQ on earth at 110 followed by east Asians with and average IQ of 107 to 102.

(2) Black, brown, and white people who commit crimes against others, as opposed to victimeless  crimes unrelated to public safety that merely "offend" the state, are measurably less intelligent that those who do not. Additionally, black communities are the most egregious violators of the Nonaggression Principle as the majority of crime committed by blacks is against blacks.
