“O.K., fellow citizens. Keep fighting the good fight. It makes no sense to insist on guns being checked in baggage where they are of no use to anybody. If the good guys can’t have guns on planes, only the bad guys will have guns on planes. We get this done and then we move on to our goal of co-sponsoring with the N.F.L., helping it improve player safety with our suggestion that the offense and defense be armed during games. And remember, air guns don’t kill people, air people do.” – Nicholas Dawidoff in More Guns in the Sky [at nytimes.com]
What an ignorant douche.
This is but more evidence that the Second Amendment cannot protect us. Think about it, the amendment with the language “shall not be infringed” is the most infringed, licensed, and limited amendment of the entire twenty seven. The day is probably coming when the Second Amendment will be repealed. This is the inherent nature and danger of optional rights versus non-optional God-expected responsibilities.
For more, listen to “The Second Amendment: A Knife in a Gunfight” at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.com/#FeaturedMessages recently preached at the Springfield, MO, Firearms and Freedom Symposium. At the same location, you’ll find a radio interview Larry Pratt (Executive Director of Gun Owners of America) conducted with me on this same issue. I think you’ll find Mr. Pratt’s comments especially interesting.
What a douchebag. The only people who will even remotely think this is witty, are the most ardent anti-gun statists and their cronies. They’re so smug in their assurance that the GOV will take care of them and all their security needs, it is to laugh. Anyone who is pro-gun must be the “helicopter” crazies they keep reading about in the Times. I spend A LOT of time in NY and yes, I have personally heard them use that term as in, “they/he must be one of those (black) helicopter people we keep hearing about.”
The irony lost on this hair brained intellectual is that we could create an exceedinlgy “safe” state as has been done many times in history. Take the airport security template and duplicate it at the local, state and federal level, we usually refer to this as a “police-state.” Some people are so smart, so educated, so intellectual they can’t see how vacuous and ill-conceived their ideas are. Or maybe they do and they just don’t care because their real agenda is something else. I am betting the latter. Nobody smart can be that stupid.
The only way for the government to ensure you are completely safe is for each person to have a cop follow them around with a gun to their head, in case they do something illegal. And each cop would have another cop with a gun to his head, just in case. And that cop would have a cop with a gun to his head…
So essentially society would be a circle of cops holding a gun to the head of the person on their right, and having a gun held on their head by the person to the left. Note that everyone in this society is armed too.
Hey, it worked for Judge Dredd.
I just ordered my second Comp-Tac paddle holster. I am left-handed and find belt slide holster to be a pain to put on/remove. The only paddle holster I have found that conceals better than the Comp-Tac is the “ECP” from Rocketman Holsters (rmholsters.com). As far as the leather/kydex controversy, either works for me. Unfortunately the leather holsters I like are too expensive and generally have very long lead times, plus I have not seen a leather paddle holster that conceals well.
The 1st amendment gives him the right to say pretty much anything, but if the 2nd amendment is destroyed, the 1st amendment will meet its demise as well. I am sure when this whole Bill of Rights thing falls apart, he is going to do what the Germans did at the end of WWII: He will claim he didn’t know and was just following orders.
I can’t help but feel he is not being sincere.
This quote by CNN doesn’t say anything about powder.
“The bombs were made with napalm, drain cleaner and flammable liquids, authorities say”
They did mention pipebombs, I don’t see how those would be liquid based, but I guess they could be.
RIP…
I’m sure that Dawidoff wonders why flyover country despises him and everything he stands for. Maybe he should read his own writing. Smug, smarmy and petulant — the stench of New York rising up from him is overpowering.
I doubt it. More likely is that he wonders why us stupid, uneducated rednecks just don’t “get it”.
As long as we’re sharing poems:
Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,
They sit in the corner and wait –
Two souvenirs of the Second World War
That have withstood the time, and the hate.
Mute witness to a time of much trouble.
Where kill or be killed was the law –
Were these implements used with high honor?
What was the glory they saw?
Many times I’ve wanted to ask them –
And now that we’re here all alone,
Relics all three of a long ago war –
Where has freedom gone?
Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle.
Let it soar with the winds high above
Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,
Guard it with care and with love.
I salute my old friends in the corner,
I agree with all they have said –
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I’ll be free, or By God, I’ll be dead!
— Audie Murphy
Yes, that Audie Murphy.
Snarky comments are not arguments.
Quips do not equal relevant points.
Show me your facts of STFU.
Then just let me put an apple on your head & shoot it off with a Benjamin Rogue, I’m sure I won’t miss, maybe. The beauty part of all this is he’s not packin, Randy
As a son and grandson of survivors of the Holocaust, this is a perfect example of why “Never Again” includes arming myself so I can protect my family. I am here today because my grandfather became a member of the armed resistance in Slovakia and my grandmother, may they both rest in peace, was a warrior of her own kind, moving my father’s family from town to town, protecting and hiding them from the Nazis.
Rest in peace, Baruch Spiegel. May your memory be for a blessing.
wonder if he’s ever complained about TSA cavity checks.
Want some?

I signed up for defense auction thinking this was legit,I found 1seller with a couple of knives for auction,I can find more Knives at the checkout counter in 7/11 or a quickie mart.Sounds to me like somebody just lettin off some steam at Gbs expense.Ive used GB several times and think they are awesome .I agree with Justin.
That Milky Way slug is no joke. Well, kind of a joke, but a dangerous one at that.
Another reason I insist on a pump shotgun for serious work. No ammo related malfunctions unless the shell just falls apart in the action of the gun. Had that happen exactly once and I was able to clear the wreckage and continue hunting.
I vote for no more opinion polls. Ever.
Wow, is spitting that big of an issue over there in the UK?
I guess if 248 people care to say so…
Gay groups go gaga for gats
yep ask Fox and AP about the safety of the First Amendment about now too.
To add my voice to the chorus: this is great.
Yeah, how dare they not vote against constitutionally protected rights! What an idiot.
