We know from the Ottoman Penal Code that the firearm registry was universal and instituted before the genocide. In addition to a gun registry, there were specific penalties put in place for Christians if they were caught openly bearing arms. Despite these restrictions, I’m proud that people in my ancestors’ village of Tomarza were known to openly carry guns in direct defiance of the tyrannical Turkish government.

Unfortunately, their defiance did not stop the Turks in the long run. My great-grandfather’s brother, an eyewitness, wrote in a letter that after the Turks declared that all registered guns would be confiscated, it resulted in “all weapons, even hunting guns, [being] surrendered to the government.” If anyone refused to do so, they would be put to death.

65% of USA Enjoys Right to Carry without a Government Permission Slip

Arizona is not open carry though. That is allowed to be restricted by local jurisdictions. In that case you would still need to apply for a CC permit to carry everywhere...

The United States began to trade with China AFTER Tienanmen Square, not before.

So it's not a good thing that CIA-induced color revolution was quashed, you say?

I'm saying if the CIA was involved, it was the CIA that quashed it.

The CIA has NO RECORD EVER of supporting a democratic movement. They have multiple examples of throwing over democratic republics though.

Iran, Gautama, Chile, Ukraine most recently.

Name any color revolution that happened in the last 10 years that worked out for either the United States or the victim countries. I'm so sick of people thinking "oh, this time it will be beneficial". The CIA isn't making errors, it's not making mistakes, this the outcome they want. Chaos. WHY? I have no idea. Maybe it gains some small amount of power for a tiny group of people. CIA doesn't work for the benefit of the United States.

...in my experience in Florida, and as I travel and speak to many, I am finding Hispanics from all socioeconomic backgrounds increasingly demonstrating a greater appreciation for traditional American values, including respect for the U.S. Constitution and, in particular, the Second Amendment.

The Number of Hispanic Gun Owners in America is Growing The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade group representing firearms manufacturers, commissioned a retailer survey to gauge the interest of Hispanics in America in exercising their lawful right to keep and bear arms. The survey determined that law-abiding Hispanic-Americans purchased firearms in 2020 at a 49% higher rate than they did in 2019. This uptick in interest seemed to be reflected in the 2020 presidential election, as the former president got 10% more of the Hispanic vote than he did in 2016.

Regardless of how it happens, the fact is before the pharma industry, mass shootings were non-existent.

Regardless of how it happens, the fact is before the pharma industry, mass shootings were non-existent.

Stephanus Andries Johannes Swart (21 July 1888 – 6 May 1927) was a South African farmer and one of the first spree killers who killed at least 8 people and wounded 3 others in Charlestown, South Africa on 6 May 1927, before killing himself.

-—

The Tsuyama massacre (津山事件, Tsuyama jiken) was a revenge spree killing that occurred on the night of 21 May 1938 in the rural village of Kamo close to Tsuyama in Okayama, Empire of Japan.

Mutsuo Toi (都井 睦雄, Toi Mutsuo), a 21-year-old man, killed 30 people, including his grandmother, with a Browning shotgun, katana, and axe, and seriously injured three others before killing himself with the shotgun. It is the deadliest shooting by a lone gunman in Japanese history.

The Bremen school shooting was a school shooting that occurred on 20 June 1913 at St Mary's Catholic School (St-Marien-Schule) in Walle, a quarter of Bremen, Germany. The gunman, 29-year-old unemployed teacher Heinz Schmidt from Sülze, indiscriminately shot at students and teachers, killing five girls and wounding more than 20 other people before being subdued by school staff. He was never tried for the crime and sent directly to an asylum where he died in 1932.

So two incidents, and sounds like one was technically not a "shooting spree". How many this past year? How many in the past 10 years? Now compare with the previous 200 years, or back to whenever a gun capable of firing more than one round without reload was invented.

... The first perpetrator died of the wounds he forced Shockey to inflict. The second is alive at this writing at the hospital, facing a Felony Murder charge since he participated in a felony that led to the death of a human being, in this case his partner-in-crime.

Most cops have seen so much grief inflicted on decent people by violent scum that they are in the forefront of the cheering section when the victim turns the tables on the perpetrator. The sheriff of the county in which the shooting took place, Ben Johnson, offered his support to Robert Shockey according to the Orlando Sentinel.

A spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department, Gary Davidson, said of Shockey, “He is going to get the good citizenship award.”

Yes, brothers and sisters, sometimes there are happy endings on the criminal justice side of things.

The anti-gun crowd weighed in immediately. “Arthur Hayhoe, the executive director of the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said this case is ‘a tough call’ for a group that favors strict gun laws,” the Sentinel reported. “He said he won’t ‘second-guess’ a parent defending his son, but Hayhoe is troubled by the second shooting.”

Okay, folks, take a deep breath.

“It’s still a shooting of an unarmed person, and that is always troubling,” Hayhoe then told reporters.

What?

Unsportsmanlike Self Defense?

Darius Bennett, who was damn lucky to survive the cyclone of lethality that he and his accomplice James Franklin Wince brought to the Blockbuster Video store that day, was reaching for a rifle after threatening to commit murder at the time he was shot.

Would Hayhoe and his sister under-the-skin Sarah Brady have had the innocent victim wait until the gun was in the criminal’s hand? Or is waiting until the criminal’s finger is on the trigger the “bright line” test for the anti-gunners? Or should the innocent victim just let himself be shot once or twice to make sure the lawless armed criminal really meant to harm him?

Sorry, America, but it’s clear Arthur Hayhoe and the group he speaks for, Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, just don’t have the first clue.

If any of our people get into a battle of wits with Arthur Hayhoe, they’ll obviously be accused of, “shooting of an unarmed person.”

Blockbuster Video!? When did this take place??

Too bad that rifle does not have a hair trigger when someone bumps the table.

From that angle how do we know for sure it's not pointing past him? and what is in the room, which direction can it point safely?

It points in the direction where nobody can walk in front of.

It's a simple rule, you never point a gun at anything you're not willing to put a bullet in, and you always assume it's loaded regardless of whether you've cleared it or not, and it can fire at any moment for no reason at all.

You follow those rules, and you won't be an Alec Baldwin and even if you follow all those rules, assume you're going to make a mistake at some point.

Be paranoid, always assume you've made a mistake. When you're working with dangerous shit, have OCD. Just clear your gun, and didn't think you did it properly? Clear it again. One mistake out of 1000's of repetitions, and you can kill somebody.

In the picture, the asshole is on the wrong side of the table, and it shouldn't be possible to be in front of the table. It might seem overly cautious, until you put a bullet into somebody by accident. Gun safety is very important, and you need to take it seriously no matter how confident you are that "nothing can go wrong". I don't care how certain you are that a gun is unloaded, don't point it at somebody as a "joke".

"A gun is always loaded", you need that minimal mindset. Unless you're trying to shoot somebody, then you might want to think the gun is always empty, conserve bullets. I've not been in that situation.

I used to hang glide. One thing that was drilled into me was a "hang check". This is to verify you've hooked into the glider. I got into the habit, any doubt, I checked, and I did that 100's of times, until one time, I found out I was NOT hooked in. Certain I was, but I wasn't. I was just on a training hill, at worst I would have been injured, little chance of being killed, but that scared me. I've gone off mountains, if it was a mountain then, I would have been killed. Completely certain I was hooked in. More than 1/2 the deaths in hang gliding is carelessness. The other half is panic in a collapse of the glider, and flying in severe weather where you asphyxiate being pulled up way too high. See an anvil cloud? Go home.

People get killed by guns by accident in the same way. You might handle the thing a hundred times without a problem, but eventually, you're going to make a mistake, and when you do, be damned certain nobody will be hurt. You will eventually make a mistake.
