TODAY Show: Control Is The Goal, Guns Are The Start

Foghorn - comments No comments

Leave it to Donny Deutsch to distill the entire mindset of the Gun Control Industrial Complex into a simple phrase. “Technology equals terrorism.” The thrust of those pushing for more Second Amendment restrictions, and Democrats in general, is, after all, control. They want the .gov to have a say in every aspect of our lives, from telling us where to go to school (fighting school voucher programs), to what to think (Department of Education, standardized testing) and even what size soda you can purchase (thanks Mayor Mike!). But the result of technological advancement is, more often that not, a weakening of centralized oversight. It allows an individual, in the privacy of their own home, to create their own news website, publish videos expressing their opinions, or print objects without the government being able to see what they’re doing. The specter of that kind of freedom, with a lack of government dominion über alles, drives the Donny Deutsches insane. And I love it.

  1. PRIVACY? OWN HOME?? Here’s a flash: EVERY computer, laptop or tablet is a potential surveillance node, provided they have a camera and mic.

    You don’t need to take my word for it: do a search – NSA has boasted of this capability for years…

    • Jump off the Windows bandwagon. Or you could at least turn it off, go to another room or disconnect it from the ‘net while you’re boinking something you oughtn’t.

      My Linux box doesn’t do anything of which I do not approve.

      Freedom starts with knowing ones surroundings, and total control of ones computers is integral to that knowledge.

      • Russ, I dont know much about computers or operating systems but I know enough people who use Linux to assume it is mainstream. My question on that is what makes it safer than Windows? Not trying to undermind you or anything, I just dont see how a readily available product will keep the government away. I think I may have asked you (or at least someone else here) a simmilar question a while ago, if so sorry.

      • Windoze IS a virus. But Apple is worse; pretty much everything you are allowed to do is open to Apple perusal. Personally, I like Fedora Linux on the “Frankenbox” that I built. I like to control what’s running on my machine, not the other way around.

  2. Government trying to control all aspects of our lives is right!! The other day, a police officer pulled me over because I was driving 87 miles per hour but supposedly I was in a “65 mph zone”! Really??? There was NOBODY around, and I was in MY OWN CAR going to MY OWN HOUSE! When I’m inside the privacy of my own car, you can’t tell me what to do!!! I’m an intelligent human being – I know how fast is too fast, thank-you very much officer! Besides, since there was no one around, if on the off chance I crashed, the only person that would be hurt is ME!

    We’re about ready for a new revolution…

  3. “Technology equals terrorism.”
    and “War is Peace”
    — Orwell

    One of Obummer’s Ivy League PhDs once called for requiring all news and media websites that publish different accounts than the government’s version to also publish the government’s version too. Do the fools in the mass media really imagine they will continue to be Left alone by government to publish as they choose in the NWO?

  4. When you mess with God’s plan (Orig 10mm) and reduce it, you get what you get.Orig 10 was fine and I carry it everyday and practice alot,it’s the orig sauce.A 170 gr JHP at 1300 and around 638 ft lbs would be ample,esp thru a firefight that needed to get thru barriers..45,not so much with barriers.Law enforcement needs that.180 jhp at 1300 is fine.Heck,sig 357 have tremendous zip and agencys still carry.10mm can be loaded in 12 load settings,from mild to wild.over penetration is bunk.

  5. CBS…yeah, the MSM will always go after the most popular/best foundation bedrock models: divide and conquer, nip in bud.

  6. The Herter’s ammo I’ve shot through my AR’s has been decently accurate, but pack a little less power than most other .223 / 5.56 loads. I have Herter’s .338 Lapua, but haven’t shot any yet because project .338 is waiting a scope.

  7. You people who fear “terrorism” today…if only you were around when the Mongols were turning entire villages into piles of skulls…that was terror.

    Terrorism today is not but a bogeyman to be deployed at opportune times. All these schmucks keep falling for it and cheer whenever the gov takes away more freedoms in the name of fighting terror.

  8. I know i am getting in late on this thread but would like to ask the mini guys a question. A friend recently purchased one and it does what an earlier poster had said. about every 3-6 rounds the trigger guard pops out and dumps the bottom out. He is wanting to sell it to me and i like the looks of the rifle and the shooting ability. I also own an AR but to me it is not an argument between the two. So is this an easy fix or is the gun shot?

  9. Meh. If you watched to the end where they talk about the kid questioning the cop about parking a motorcycle on the sidewalk and they all decide the kid was “entitled” and needed to learn proper respect for police… In other words people need to learn to be proper little serfs. Make proper groveling to the authorities and if they have any authority never question their actions, because of cause they must be right if they are in authority.

    • That attitude of subservience for them exists only between the time they get a ticket (“Do you know who I am?”) and it gets fixed. Look at Lindsay Lohan as the poster girl of the Entitled.

  10. Welcome, and a heartfelt thanks for going public about your choice to step into the armed camp.

    May your statements on the View lead to the saving of many women, children and men.

    Glad to have you.

  11. NSLOOKUP on mayorsagainstillegalguns.org resolves to the IP address 161.185.30.92 and the hostname prtl-sitea-maigs.nyc.gov which would mean this site is hosted on a server for the city of NY.

  12. That looks super uncomfortable. I’m blessed with a similar adonis-like physique as the gentleman in the video, and wouldn’t want the back of the slide poking in my gut. I wonder how one bends over or sits, but I guess if you’re mostly standing and walking, it could be slightly less of an issue.

    Another thing is contact with fluids. On a medium warm day you always sweat a little. Of course with all women throwing themselves at me (“Is that a 9mm or are you just happy to see me?”), there’ll also be warmth and not-very-dry air around the groin. Not an issue for all, but something to be aware of.

  13. Being a 130lbs male appendix carry is A very uncomfortable for ALL situations and B the printing makes me look a little too excited when I meet people.

  14. I have the 93R17 and It was just what I was looking for. Very accurate and deadly. For a great show try plastic bottles full of water with and without tight lids. However ever so often it would misfire and is now getting worse. Cleaned every thing very good and tried different ammo with no results. Any suggestions?

  15. He must feel, in a new agey way that he by some sort of cosmic connection, recruted the fireman to kill his fathers place taker. (Big assumption but) If he believes in that stuff, then by his own measure he is guilty and it is his fault.
    Arkadi, reality is so much easier, give up your lifes work of redemption because none is needed.

  16. What ever happened to shooting arcades…? They typically used .22 weapons, as I dimly recall.

    As an aside, that is the happiest girl I’ve seen in quite a while. Nice shootin’, li’l miss!

  17. that’s nothing more than a rah rah rah we hate corporations rant, and it just so happens the industry is guns….

  18. I think…i got my first BB gun when I was about 5 or 6…lol. First 22 rifle and single barrel shotgun around 10 or 12. Learned to shoot a handgun when I was 15, and had one “on loan” from my dad. Been shooting ever since, still alive and well.

    Rinse and repeat with my kids. BB guns were around 8 or 10 though, and graduated to the 22/SBSG around 12 or 14. They both know how to shoot handguns and long guns now (they are 15 and 18). Still alive and well…

    HuffBlo makes me sick…

  19. How interesting.

    Turns out Embattled Gun Owners want ‘Regulatory Changes’ on Attorney Generals.

    I can’t imagine why.
