Reddit Censors Global Warming Skeptics: Are gun rights next?

Sculpture of Gaia. A Roman interpretation of the Earth goddess, “Tellus.”

Reddit is known as a place for vigorous debate, yet the Cult of Climate Change has scored a victory.

“After some time interacting with the regular denier posters, it became clear that they could not or would not improve their demeanor,” Allen said. “As a scientist myself, it became clear to me that the contrarians were not capable of providing the science to support their ‘skepticism’ on climate change.”

As a result, about half a dozen content editors now practice “proactive moderation” on the science forum’s reported 4-million subscribers.

Meet “modern” Gaia. Is this what Al Gore wants us to worship? Some fat green woman pregnant with the earth?

Well, not yet. I did a search and these are the “hot topics”

I’m the least mechanically inclined person you’ll ever meet, a “do it for me” kind of guy. My love of firearms is mostly about shooting and defending them. So when it comes to making or modifying them, I need a gunsmith. That’s why I’m glad Mr. Laban submitted this blog:

Becoming a Professional Gunsmith: Quick Reference and How to Guide
By Laban Graves

 

My journey to becoming a successful gunsmith started at quite a young age, it sprung from necessity as most worthwhile ventures do.  I’m from central Texas originally, and I had been a passionate white tail slayer since I could carry a rifle.

At the age of 12,I was permitted to hunt alone, my weapon of choice at the time was a Marlin 336y 30-30.  I had it outfitted with a decent Redfield scope. At the time I favored walking over sitting in a blind.  An hour or so into my hike, I came within 70 yards of an 8 point buck with a nice drop tyne on the left side.  He was helping himself to a few licks off of a salt block, and being on the correct side of the wind, he was in big trouble.  I got into a prone position, regulated my breathing, took aim at his neck, and fired my shot.

I’d like to brag and claim one shot one kill, but not on this day I’m afraid.  I shot a tad low, and wounded the poor creature hitting him square in his right shoulder joint, and basically taking his right leg off.  Unable to run away properly the animal was thrashing around in pain, and grunting like I had never heard.  I quickly worked the lever on the rifle, ejecting the spent case, but returning the lever to battery and inserting the new cartridge was problematic to say the least.  The lever was completely stuck in the rear position, and in my panic I was unable to realize the mechanical issue at hand.

My grandfather had gone over the basic operation of the fire arm with me numerous times, and as a proud “always prepared” Boy Scout, I had the proper tools on hand to fix the problem.  Within two to three minutes I had the problem fixed and was finally able to end my quarry’s suffering.  That was my first lesson in basic repairs, and to this day simple fixes like that is a large part of my business.

My first bit of professional training began at a small junior college in Kilgore Texas.  It is one of the top ranked hands on programs in the country, and lucky for me was only a short distance from where I now reside in the piney woods of East Texas.

The hands on instruction and techniques I learned while there have been pivotal to my success, and as an alumnus you are permitted to use the equipment on campus for life upon completion of the program.  That in itself is very helpful, as metal lathes, and some of the other necessary equipment are very expensive to purchase out right, especially when you are first starting out in the business.

There are several online resources available out there as well.  I was interested in the prospect of online study in this field, and a friend of mine suggested the course offered by Penn Foster.  I enrolled after researching the program, and completed the course in about four months.  I found the curriculum was easy to understand, and appreciated the fact that you could view all the resource material online, as well as receiving hard copies in the mail, which you can retain for further reference if need be.  While I did find the information easily approachable and understandable, I would recommend a program with a hands-on approach, as nothing can compare to hands on training in the care of a competent instructor.

Recently I came across another helpful tool that has helped me expand my business considerably.  The American Gun Institute or AGI for has been in business for twenty years now, and offers how to courses on in DVD format, covering topics from simple maintenance all the way through building complete firearms and customization like glass bedding and accurizing. Prices for the source material are very reasonable, and bundles are available which contain multiple courses as well as the necessary tools for completing the job.  Most courses are given by master gunsmith and instructor Bob Dunlap, as well as a host of very competent and without a doubt the best gunsmiths in the business.  I have had the pleasure of speaking at length with President Gene Kelly several times over the past year or so, and the man is a class act and the real deal.  As I mentioned previously, in my opinion, nothing can compare to quality on hands training from an experienced pro.

A quick online search will return information regarding schools in your area, and proper research on your part will help in your decision a picking the right program for your needs. Whether you are attempting to make this vocation your prime source of income, supplemental, or just as a hobby, gunsmithing is a great skill to possess, especially in the current political environment, where our right to bear arms is constantly under fire.  Being safe and knowledgeable about this topic helps break some of the stigma associated with gun ownership, and if you are a somewhat mechanically minded individual you will no doubt find the subject material both fascinating and enjoyable.

 

Unarmed Passenger Stops Armed Robber.

Liberals love stories like this because it makes them think they don’t need a gun.

SEATTLE (KING) – Prosecutors have released video of a confrontation on a Seattle Metro Transit bus between a gun-wielding robber and a rider.

The images show the man react quickly when face-to-face with the pistol, then pull the gun from his hand and begin tackling the suspect.

That suspect, 19-year-old Trevonnte Brown, is charged with two counts of First Degree Robbery and one count of Attempted First Degree Robbery.

As the bus wound through West Seattle November 25th, video shows Brown getting on and rob at least one woman, flashing a gun in her face and taking her cell phone quietly.

Video then shows Brown approach a man sitting immersed in his own cell phone. As soon as his eyes notice the firearm, he grabs its end, jumps up, rips the gun from the suspects hand and begins throwing punches.

Here’s the truth:

1. The criminal had little experience with firearms.

2. The criminal could have fired his weapon the minute his opponent grabbed it.

3. The criminal could have been stronger than the man who started beating him up.

4. Grabbing a stranger’s gun can result in an accidental firing depending on how you pull the weapon.

5. Shooting the criminal would have been better, you don’t even need to shoot straight as long as you’re close enough.

Suffice to say, while I congratulate the courage of whoever went Jackie Chan on Brown, it’s not something I would have done.

We are men, we fight with guns. First fighting is fine for MMA and Karate Movies, but in the real world, we rely on our guns, not our fists. That’s how I see it.

You don’t agree? Fine, you go ahead and play Rocky Balboa with the next thug you find, hopefully it won’t be a Trayvon Martin who would have won if it wasn’t for Zimmerman’s gun.


Star of Duck Dynasty Suspended.

— by on — Leave a reply

This is not a case of Free Speech, for it wasn’t the government that censored Phil Robertson, one of the stars of Duck Dynasty who’s also  pro-gun and pro-hunting.

“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been suspended indefinitely by A&E Networks following controversial remarks about homosexuality, Variety reported Wednesday.
…

“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men,” he tells reporter Drew Magary. “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

Now I don’t know what the big deal is. He is quoting the Bible, I’m not a fan of that Bible verse, I prefer the one about tattoos, but I can’t chastise a man for speaking his truth.

He also muses rather colorfully about his own sexual orientation: “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

Give him a break, this is not a dude who grew up with the Playboy Channel. He’s never seen two men copulating with a woman, with one inserting his you know what where the sun don’t shine. Folks, we all like different things when it comes to sex, why give Phil a hard time over what he likes?

GLAAD rep Wilson Cruz responded to Robertson’s remarks with a statement:
“Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans — and Americans — who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Cruz, but what Phil said is what true Christians believe as oppose to those of the Church of God Loves Everyone and Accepts Everything. Why do you think so many people are becoming Atheist or secular? They just don’t like the Bible. And who can blame them? Being a Christian means no gay sex, no premarital sex, and in the case of Mormons, you can’t even have a cup of coffee or a nice cold beer. And no, I’m not attacking Christianity, just telling it like it is.

I personally laugh at all this culture war nonsense, I don’t even take seriously those who criticize my own lifestyle. The way I see it, you’re free to disagree as long as you get out of my way. So if Phil doesn’t like gay sex, big freaking deal, it’s not like gays had him in their bucket list, you know, 1,000 Men to F-ck Before I Die, or in the case of lesbians, 5 Women to Have Relationships With Before I Die.  LOL.

In a quote that may raise even more eyebrows than his feelings about gays, Robertson claims he “never” saw black people mistreated during the pre-civil rights era in his home state, and strongly suggests that African Americans were more content under Jim Crow.

 

“Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash,” he said.  ”They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”

So that’s his perspective, that’s what he saw, are you gonna call him a liar? It’s what he saw.

Bring him back, A&E, the people who watch Duck Dynasty love Phil. Bravo didn’t listen to critics when you had Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, they listened to ratings, the only thing that matters.

This discrimination against Christians is only going to backfire. I hate to use the term “homophobia,” but this is exactly what A&E is doing, they’re creating animosity against gays based on a few damn activists. GLAAD doesn’t pay your bills, the people who watch your damn show do.
