Quote of the Day: Warming to Disarmament Edition

Christie Hefner (courtesy forbes.com)

“Yes, last year we hit a record number of murders from guns [in Chicago]. And this year we are already outpacing last year’s numbers. Now, there are contributing factors that are not under anybody’s control and may seem odd, but it is factually true. One of them is actually the weather. There is a dramatic increase in gun violence when it is warmer. And we are having this climate change effect that is driving that.” – Christie Hefner in Center for American Progress’ Christie Hefner: Climate change a factor in Chicago’s murder rate [via dailycaller.com]

  1. Holy Sh!t!

    Now climate change is responsible for gun violence?

    Now I’ve heard everything.

    Liberalism is a mental disease.

  2. In a February 2012 interview with NBC News, Kyle said he didn’t want to put the number in the book but the publisher insisted.
    “If I could figure out the number of people I saved, that’s something I would brag about,” he told NBC News’ Lester Holt.

  3. In Connecticut, 9-1-1 calls made via a cellular phone are routed through the Connecticut State Police, not the local police. The CSP Dispatcher, often a Trooper, must then relay the information to the Dispatcher at the local Police department. The CSP is dispatched from wherever the nearest available units are located, and the troop which covers the area, and/or the District Major Crime Squad. Troopers are spread thin, and may be a great distance away, even traveling at high speed. When multiple calls are coming in to 9-1-1, and there is one person dispatching it is not an easy situation to deal with, and it becomes an “all hands’ on deck” coordinated situation. There is not a central dispatch system as there is in a place such as New York city or Los Angeles.

  4. Sneaky move. Make all the uninformed millions that watch the Super Bowl think that their organization only seeks something as simple as a background check while pushing disarmament when those uninformed aren’t looking.

  5. Really in love with Springfield’s 1911s in .45acp; comes in many flavors/sizes to fit differing roles (also like the XDs if we’re going with poly). And given the fact that the Kriss Vector could potentially be adopted over the horizon (hopeful fanboy), commonality of ammo would keep costs down, and add a measure of convenience. Just my $0.02!

  6. How much does the gun weigh? In your review you mentioned 5.8 twice and 7.0 once. On Academys web site they have 3 models, the ME which they say weighs 7.0{$430), the ME special at 6.2($680), ME special L at 6.4($1600). The sales guys at my local stores only know it is a gun. Is there any one at Academy or any where who REALY knows this gun and answer my questions. I want to buy one but I want to know the differances before I decide which one to buy.

  7. I’ve seen skeet shooters firing from a hill with the clays flying below their level. I don’t know the terrain King Hussein was shooting from, but either way, he’s POS.

  8. It looks like to me in the two White House photos the President has not moved from the same spot at all, the only that has moved is his left arm. Also I would say that The White House used Photoshop to put a new FIER ARM is the same photo.

  9. hitler complained to the Geneva Convention not about the Thompson,BAR but… 12 ga shotgun. It was too deadly for “world war, trench warfare” & now obama says its ok? Well, just so I know. How do they walk that back? (only the president can handle the magnificent power of the shotgun?) Talk about walking into one, Randy

  10. Christie Hefner is so stupid that she once told the SEC that she didn’t know that her husband William Marovitz (an Ill-Annoy State Senator, no less) was involved in insider trading in Playboy shares while she ran the company. They then settled with the SEC. At about this time, her husband approached a politician in Jamaica to lobby for permission to build casinos on the island (Jamaica is one Caribbean location that proscribes gambling) and he left a suitcase full of confidential documentation behind in a public place, exposing the very suspicious interests on whose behalf he was doing the lobbying to anyone who might want to investigate him and his backers. Wait a while and you will see the clown hammered by some other law enforcement agency with one more pious bleat from old Christie saying that she didn’t know what her husband was up to . . .

    I love how this monumentally stupid woman ended up making insane comments on the Nothing But Crap television network, on behalf of the far-left outfit that she represents. We do need as much humor as we can get in this gun-grab process. And, when an anti gunner makes herself the butt of jokes, gun owners stand to gain in the bargain.

  11. Well I know RF knew this would happen. It was a fair article, and that drives them nuts. They can’t even fathom the idea. It makes their veins bulge, and there hands sweat. I think we can call this mission accomplished!
    Still isn’t fair with some of the remarks.. I could only stomach reading a few..
