April 19th Second Amendment March Falls Afoul of Left-Leaning Numerologists

April 3, 2010 by Robert Farago

On April 19th, gun owners and gun rights’ supporters (big overlap there) will rally in Washington to “galvanize the courage and resolve of Americans; to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislation; and to remind Aantimerica that the Second Amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self defense.” The Second Amendment March’s organizers chose the date to honor the day when the first shots were fired in The Revolutionary War, at The Battle of Lexington. Members of the media checked that date and discovered that the march also fell “On the anniversary of Waco, [when] anti-government, right-wing militia sympathizer Timothy McVeigh drove an explosive-laden Ryder truck to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.” As far as I know, the Huffington Post’s Mike Malloy was the first to pick-up this coincidence and run with it. And I mean really run with it . . .

“Jesus Scopes” Critics Need to Find Their Smile

February 2, 2025March 31, 2010 by Robert Farago

“Enjoy your war profits” comely commentator Rachel Maddow snarked at the end of her MSNBC report on the “Jesus Guns” controversy. Maddow was upset at Trijicon scopes for selling the U.S. Army some 250,000 Advance Combat Optical Guides engraved with serial numbers referring to Biblical passages. For example, one of the scopes is engraved with number “JN8:12.” Reference: the Book of John, Chapter Eight, Verse 12. “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ‘Cause whoever walks in front of me might get their ass shot. See? That’s funny. WWJS? Praise the Lord but sight-in your rifle? But no. Maddow and her politically-correct cronies reckon even the most obscure and cryptic Christian reference on a gun—a gun!—would inflame anti-American passions around the world, leading directly to the deaths of U.S troops. As opposed to say, scaring the locals with supernatural symbolism. So . . . something must be done!

Here’s some helpful hints for gun scope codes, inspired by Freerepublic.com * E222 (Exodus 22:2): In this verse, God declares that if someone breaks into your house at night and you kill him, you … Read more

Sarah Palin Draws Fire For Facebook, Twitter Gun Imagery

February 2, 2025March 25, 2010 by Robert Farago

“This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington.” That’s about it for firearm-oriented rhetoric on Sarah Palin’s post-Obamacare Facebook page. But the accompanying imagery [above] has put Palin in anti-Palin commentator’s sights—as if she wasn’t there already. [See: Charles R. Larson: Tea Party Gun Owners “Retarded”] In combination with her Tweet—Don’t retreat, RELOAD!—well, the left has gone ballistic. Here we go! ” I would not find it surprising if someone from the Department of Justice rang [Palin] up to advise her that what she is doing is inciting violence – which is a federal offense,” Margo Howard from wowowow.com wrote. “As if it weren’t bad enough that people were spitting on legislators, yelling epithets and wearing sidearms into Starbucks, here comes Sarah Palin using the language of guns … and this in a country that has seen political assassinations in our lifetime. Hate speech, anyone? I would suggest to McCain’s Mistake that she, well, think before she speaks. Or better yet, just stop talking.” More?
