All because of YOU.... Glen Filthie! 😆
If you are so inclined to join GAB, or are already on there, find me and give me a follow. I am even more snarky, perhaps mean, and some might say hateful where I know I won't be cancelled.
My existing Twitter account and tweets will just sit there and languish in perpetuity.
When you spew lies to try and garner support for your position, you lose any and all credibility.
Gun violence IS NOT the leading cause of death among children.
If the media was to actually do its job, these anti-gun hoplophobes would be called out, ridiculed, and then ignored.
This is what prompted today's post, from The Blaze.
So in order to totally get the attention of bored FIBBIE analysts everywhere, I will give them the what for. Have fun assholes.

I stream WTIC AM 1080 out of Hartford most of the day for talk radio, and have been hearing a commercial spot for Pfizer's "Prevnar 20" pneumococcal vaccine. Below is a link to the ad campaign including an embedded video. I was unable to find an audio recording of the actual commercial I heard.
Pfizer Prevnar 20 Ad at ispot.tv
Go to the 0:25 mark in the video and read the text on the screen that says "Prevnar 20 is given by injection. It does not protect against all strains. Continued approval may depend on a supportive study." Did you catch that last part? On the radio spot they speak that quote but in the video you have to read it. You know what it says to me? EXPERIMENTAL CRAP THAT THEY ARE STILL TESTING and approval may be pulled at any time. Then we'll see the ads for the slip-n-fall lawyers asking "if you have been harmed by.... "
Just like the Chi-Com Xi Flu jabs, annual flu shots, shingles vaccine, etc. I now shun them all. And similar to the Chi-Com Xi Flu jabs, they don't offer 100% protection. So if you think this shot is a good idea for you, have at it, but I recommend against it.
Its between 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM right now on the East Coast.

So the "Sensitive Content" warning will stay in place, and I will no longer be listed on the Normal American news page. I am hoping that at some point, Goolag will allow age verification by other logons like Twatter and Fecesbook.
This post earlier from Tam over at View From The Porch hits on a subject I have disagreed with by others in the gun world as well, hers is just the latest. Massad Ayoob also wrote one a few months ago on the same subject and I have seen others I can't recall. That subject is having one dedicated carry gun, and no more. I am not a paid gun writer or any self-proclaimed expert that will ever tell others what they should do. If asked I will tell others what I do because it works for me. As they say "YMMV."
I have four (five if you count the Gen 3 Glock 21 on the nightstand) personal defense handguns, and I don't select my "CCW pistol every morning based on the color of one’s mood ring or whether its grips match one’s choice of socks that day." There are many more factors that come into play for me, and I always know EXACTLY which one I am carrying, how it operates, and practice with all of them. Here they are in no particular order:
Ruger GP-161 in .357 Magnum
When outdoors hiking, walking my dog, in the woods, or at the range. I open carry it on a dedicated gun belt in a Bianchi thumb-break holster with a pair of HKS 586-A speed-loaders in Bianchi dual speed-loader carrier. The cylinder and speed-loaders are fully loaded with Hornady Critical Defense .357 Magnums. Takes care of local 4-legged predators, bruins, or 2-legged predators.
Ruger SR9c in 9mm
In cooler weather under a flannel over shirt or coat and carried in an "On Your 6 Design" kydex OWB holster at my 3 o'clock. At my 7 o'clock is an On Your 6 Design dual mag carrier. Magazines are Kommiecticut legal 10 rounders loaded with Hornady Critical Defense, and all my semi-autos are carried in "Condition 1" with one in the pipe and safety ON for a total of 31 rounds. Depending on where I am going and for how long I will also include my SureFire Defender flashlight. A trip to the local store for example may mean I leave the spare mags at home. A day long shopping trip, out to a restaurant, or the rare outing to a theater is the full loadout.
S & W 45 Shield in .45ACP
This one is more year round and is probably carried more than the SR9c. I will carry it the same way as the SR9c in cooler weather. Also at my 3 o'clock but in a DeSantis friction fit OWB Speed Scabbard. In it I carry the extended 7 round magazine, and the same magazines in a DeSantis Dual Magazine carrier. All are loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 185 gr ammo, giving me a total of 22 rounds. My particular gun has NO manual safety and the Tritium Nite Sights. Yes... one definitely in the pipe on this one too.
Because of the slim profile, this is the gun I carry on my bike. It all disappears under my leather vest.
In warm weather wearing Duluth Trading cargo shorts, I will carry it in a DeSantis pocket holster with the 6-round flush fit magazine. It disappears in the right thigh pocket, and a single spare 7 round magazine is in the left thigh pocket in a divided pocket made for a knife. I carry just the gun in this manner every day to and from work in the right front pocket of my EMS trousers. At the firehouse it is placed in a gun safe locked container attached to the truck. When I get home in the evening, I change into my jeans and swap out the flush mag for the extended 7-round mag and slide the DeSantis Speed Scabbard holster onto my belt at 3 o'clock. This means I can be armed at home, but the gun and holster can be quickly removed and secured in case I need to respond to an after hours emergency.
Ruger LCP in .380 ACP
In really hot weather when EVERYONE is wearing light clothing, I carry the gun in a DeSantis "Nemesis" pocket holster with a spare mag on my belt in a carrier that looks like it is just a pocket knife. The .380 ACP Hornady Critical Defense is the minimum I will carry and it is loaded in the Ruger factory 7-round magazines for a total of 15 rounds.
After writing all of this, I realized I do something else Massad Ayoob has written about that he isn't a fan of; "Administrative Gun Handling." I regularly handle, load, unload, holster, swap out, and otherwise have my mitts on my guns every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. His theory is once its placed in the holster, it only comes out if needed for defense, or to put it away. I disagree completely. Always practicing Col. Cooper's 4 Rules of Gun Safety, becoming proficient in gun handling is as important as shooting. I had a negligent discharge in 1984 that luckily went harmlessly into the ground, but it was my "one" and it was totally my stupidity. By always and consciously following the 4 Rules of Gun Safety and constantly handling my firearms, has only improved my gun handling proficiency.
They say "everyone is Irish on Saint Paddy's Day!" but not me. According to my Ancestry.com DNA profile, I am a European mutt with 2% of my DNA coming from the Emerald Isle, but I don't really care. Most of my heritage came from France and eastern Europe. I actually mostly embrace and celebrate my Polish heritage because it was ever present in my maternal grandparent's home. You would think I would be fluent in Polish, but my relatives born in the old country kept it as their secret language so us kids didn't know what they were saying.
Anyway, tomorrow is Hartford's annual St. Patrick's Day parade and it has been on the local news all week, so I am fucking sick of hearing about it. The local stations will be televising it tomorrow in case you can't be there.. UGH! That is, IF the weather doesn't postpone it, because they are calling for a few inches of snow overnight. Oh yes, I will be engaged in joyful schadenfreude for the parade not to happen. Kinda hard to perform Irish step-dancing in wintry slop, hee hee!
Now being born a Masshole into a family of Massholes from the Springfield-Chicopee-Holyoke area, you might think I would be excited about the Holyoke St. Patrick's parade, which is the largest in the entire region. Nope, not even a little. Also, Irish or not if you're good Cat-Lick thou shalt honor St. Patrick or its the confessional and penance for you. My parents went faithfully in their younger years, and I have slides and 8mm color movies from the 1957 and 1958 parades. A couple of slides are of then US. Senator John F. Kennedy on the reviewing stand outside Holyoke City Hall. Still don't care.
Since green is the color of puke, I shun green beer, Shamrock Shakes, green colored pancakes, or any other food and drink artificially colored green. I normally only wear green club shirts at the events held by my sportsman's club. The only other green clothes I have is camo and if I am wearing them, someone is probably about to die.
So go ahead and enjoy the parade and getting stinkin' drunk, just leave me out of it.
I entered written testimony today to the CT General Assembly (CGA) for three bills. In opposition to HB 6667 and HB 6816, and in support of HB 6817. Click on the link called "Raised Bill [doc]" for the bill PDF in it's entirety.
HB 6667 Testimony
Oppose HB6667
My name is XXXXX XXXXX, and I have been involved with civilian firearms ownership since 1980. I also served in the U.S. Army from 1981 to 1987 earning my “EXPERT” marksmanship badge with the M16. I have held my CT state pistol permit since 1983 right after turning 21. I have competed in many firearms events in both rifle and pistol. I load my own pistol and rifle ammunition using standardized recipes and have developed and tested my own. I perform my own basic gunsmithing, fabrication, modification, and repairs. I have introduced and instructed many “firearms curious” individuals to their first firearms experience as well as an introduction to reloading while stressing safety at all times. I belong to the N.R.A., The CT Citizen’s Defense League, XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX Club, The Garand Collector’s Association, and am an authorized purchaser through the Civilian Marksmanship Program. I consider myself to have more firearm experience than the average firearm owner, and certainly more experience than the majority of members of the CT General Assembly, Administration, state bureaucrats, and sadly to say from experience, most law enforcement.

Neither of these statements confer any right to arms, but instead exist to PREVENT government from denying a right to be armed. These rights come from God the Almighty to Americans by birth, not granted by any government entity. That would be called a “privilege” not a right. They also serve to remind those in government that passing ANY gun-control is a blatant violation of their “Oath of Office.”
The pro-civilian firearm disarmament element in the state government are once again targeting the peaceable gun owners of the state, this time by apparently attempting to circumvent the recent SCOTUS decision in NYSR&PA vs Bruen and restrict the carrying and ownership of firearms for non-criminal purposes.
I was going to go point by point why I oppose this legislation, but the entire document is absolute garbage and MUST BE OPPOSED. Any legislator that values The U.S. Constitution, The Connecticut Constitution, and the freedoms valued by the residents of Connecticut should also oppose this entire bill.

The pro-civilian firearm disarmament element in the state government are once again targeting the peaceable gun owners of the state, this time by creating a law that:
1). Relies on junk science to infringe on the rights of the peaceable gun owners of the state of Connecticut. This junk science relies on technology that only works in theory and IF it were to be implemented would be easily defeated in seconds with a simple file. It will accomplish nothing but limit the supply of brand new firearms to the non-criminal peaceable citizen, which purchases those firearms from licensed dealers, which I believe is the intended purpose. The criminal will not be affected one bit since they buy stolen and black market arms unabated.
2). The juvenile criminal element that decides to use a firearm in the commission of a crime does not and cannot purchase their ammunition from a retail outlet. Raising the age to purchase ammunition from 18 to 21 simply is another infringement against the peaceable citizens as defined in the U.S. and Connecticut Constitutions, since ammunition and magazines are as much an “arm” as intended by our Founding Fathers.
3). Restricting the mere possession of body armor is another infringement against the peaceable citizen. An arm can be strictly defensive as well as offensive. Modern body armor is as much an “arm” as a knight’s shield and armor were. Allowing government personnel to have such defensive protection and remove it from the citizens proves once again the distrust CT state government has for its citizens. The sale, transfer and possession of body armor should be completely unrestricted.

I am writing to provide my support for HB6817, which according to the text of the bill, clarifies and corrects many infringements imposed over the decades in the state that directly affect only the peaceable citizen and their God-Given Right to personal self-defense, like in state parks and forests. It also would allow those peaceable citizens that hold a carry permit from their home state, to no longer become an instant criminal for doing nothing more than by crossing an imaginary line at the state border. Just like a driver’s license, they would be expected to be held to our state’s laws. The most important point for me is #12 to establish a Castle Doctrine. Having to retreat in the face of a violent criminal is never something any citizen should have to do, and the violent criminals running rampant in our state should become acutely aware that their lives may be forfeit in the commission of a crime.
They keep calling the cause of the Chi-Com Xi Flu pandemic a Wuhan lab "leak." Like "How did that happen? Oops, our bad."
I contend it was a purposeful "RELEASE" and an act of war against the free world. The fucking Chi-Coms lie and are a danger to the entire planet, and I would be happy to see them all eliminated.
Beetlejuice has lost its bid for re-election as Mayor of Shit-cago. So I pose the following question: is it because the voters are just racist homophobes, or are they actually sick of a criminal coddling LIBTURD and its shitty policies?
I would love to have that question answered by another unqualified LIBTURD who is only in place for being the first black lesbian in a position as her main qualifications.
Karine Jean-Pierre.... a response? Use the comment section below or email contact form on the sidebar.
So apparently, Mayor Beetlejuice is in danger of losing its re-election bid in Shit-cago. Does anyone not believe a job in (p)Resident Gropey Dopey Joey Poopy-Pants' administration awaits that creep if it loses?
That's what El Rushbo used to call it when like a stopped clock that is right twice a day, journalists would actually report a story that was true, did not include lies of omission, or just spew agenda and talking points. They acted as real journalists without even realizing what they had done.
Yesterday morning, Wifey made a nice breakfast of blueberry pancakes and I fried up a couple of slices of SPAM, so instead of heading right down to the basement as planned, I stayed upstairs to eat. She had the TV on as usual watching the CBS Sunday Morning show. I usually shun that liberal crap that is normally about Hollywood, NYC, the arts, etc. NOTHING that interests a deplorable such as myself and is usually borderline insulting. CBS is normally anti-gun, so when I saw what their first story was, I figured I would watch with a jaded eye and disregard their Demon-Crap talking points while I ate my breakfast. It started out with the substitute host spewing the latest nonsense about gun violence being the leading cause of death among children and teens in the United States. Sure, when you count "kids" up to age 26 and include suicides then it looks like your kid could be gunned down any time now. But right after that bogus statistic, he adds that young black men are hardest hit. Whoa.... he said the quiet part out loud. My interest was piqued to say the least, so I watched the entire story, reported by Ted Koppel. Below is a link so you can watch it yourself. It is just under 13 minutes.
CBS Sunday Morning Show 02/26/23 - ROCA, Steering Young Men Away From A Life With Guns
Now the guy Ted Koppel interviewed from the ROCA program, Jamal West did say something at the 01:20 mark about there now being so much access to firearms. Meh, I disagree. Criminals have always had easy access to stolen or otherwise ill-gotten firearms. They certainly can't buy them the legal and painful way you or I do, filling out a 4473 and submitting to an NCIS check waiting for the bullshit to finish and then maybe have your credit card declined because your bank doesn't like civilian firearms ownership. But even criminals used to know that use of a gun was last resort. THAT is what has changed, the feral street animals now go for the gun first, for the most trivial of reasons. "The kill or be killed" mentality that is misplaced in those urban shitholes, unlike the "an armed society is a polite society" mentality in suburban or rural America. Much of that is related in the story.
Baltimore PD Col. Monique Brown, a 22 year veteran of the force, said the same thing I always say about violating the Constitution. In order to prevent crime, rights are gonna be violated. Police normally show up to investigate and make arrests. Now am I sad the rights of feral street animals are being violated? No, and since they are mostly uneducated, they have no clue what their rights are anyway and that "violation" probably saves lives if they get caught with an illegal firearm. She also alluded to the fact that the consent for pat down has been made illegal by the hobbling of police, which I have personal experience with in Kommiecticut.
The whole story was about turning these feral street animals into young men taking responsibility for their lives and turning them around. The guy at the end of the story, Sheldon Smith Gray aka "Snackz" has earned his certificate to be an HVAC technician, which as we all know, he may not end up making as much money as dealing drugs, but it is certainly a decent living that comes close to $2K/week and comes without the danger and possible incarceration.
The most amazing thing to me was to see a CBS News story like this, without the usual calls for more infringements on the armed peaceable citizens.
The CGA (Connecticut General Assembly) is a bicameral body consisting of a State House of Representatives and a State Senate. Both are controlled by a majority of The Evil Party, and the minority members of The Stupid Party are powerless to stop their march to full blown socialism. And of course, the head #LIBTURD member of The Evil Party is Gov. "Jolly Ned" Lamont, who will eagerly sign into law any unconstitutional infringement the CGA passes. As a member of the C.C.D.L. (CT Citizens Defense League) I receive the alerts when it is time to submit written testimony for the public hearings, and the C.C.D.L. will recommend whether to oppose or support a proposed bill and is always on the side of the right to keep and bear arms.
The first alert I received the other day was for House Bill #5653 (tagged on the CGA website as HB5653), which is to institute a punitive "sin tax" on all ammunition purchases to supposedly pay for something called "Community Gun Violence and Intervention Program Grants." They want to charge $0.02 per .22 caliber round, and $0.05 per round for everything else. Below is my [redacted] submitted testimony.
Oppose HB5653

Neither of these statements confer any right to arms, but instead exist to PREVENT government from denying a right to be armed. These rights come from God the Almighty to Americans by birth, not granted by any government entity. That would be a “privilege” not a right.
The pro-civilian firearm disarmament element in the state government are once again targeting the peaceable gun owners of the state, this time by desiring to levy a punitive tax on ammunition purchases. Ammunition and magazines are as much a part of “arms” as stated in both constitutions as a firearm itself.
As anyone with a shred of common sense should know, the criminal element does not and cannot waltz into WalMart, Hoffman's, Cabelas, or the other smaller sporting goods retailers in the state and purchase the ammunition for their criminal activities (see note 1). They are forced to steal it or buy it on the black market. None of those type of transactions provide any type of revenue stream from taxes; sales tax or otherwise. Do you know what happens if I were to walk into such a retailer in CT to buy ammunition and didn’t have my pistol permit on me? I would be denied the purchase, no ifs or buts. Funny how the criminal element doesn’t seem to have such a problem and no law can fix that. Therefore such proposed legislation as HB 5653, which is nothing more than placing a "sin tax" on constitutionally protected activities, is yet one more infringement against The Second Amendment and State Constitution. It is so unfortunate that our state seems to have this bad habit of passing such infringements knowing they will end up in court, and then state officials crying like little children when they are sued (like right now with the multiple pending lawsuits). I will personally be more than happy to again voluntarily contribute to any court costs and attorney fees to fight such poor legislation should it pass. Penalizing the peaceable citizen for the actions of criminals and forcing them to pay for the prevention of those criminal activities is wrong… legally and morally. As far as “community gun violence” is concerned, my community of XXXXXXX (in fact most of rural Windham County) has high per capita firearms ownership and use. Yet the little violent crime that does happen out here is usually caused by those that don’t live here. The nightly news stories I see of “gun violence” comes out of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, etc. I suggest you unleash law enforcement and target those “communities”…. and hard.
How about this novel idea? Crack down on criminals using or caught with firearms and ammunition like the original laws state. I’d be happy with search and seizure of person and property upon arrest, no bail, no plea downs, and no reduced sentences.
FOR THE RECORD: I OPPOSE HB 5653

You will see that it runs in the hundreds in opposition, and very few in support. In reading the testimony of others, those in opposition list many reasons and logical arguments, where those in support are emotionally whining "we must do something!!!" even if it infringes on the Constitutional Rights of others. Of course, those writing in support are NOT firearms owners, would never pay a penny in such a tax to pay for a cause they seem to support, nor would they even consider voluntarily contributing to such a cause. It must be paid for with the confiscated money of others. Where I wrote "It is so unfortunate that our state seems to have this bad habit of passing such infringements knowing they will end up in court, and then state officials crying like little children when they are sued (like right now with the multiple pending lawsuits). I will personally be more than happy to again voluntarily contribute to any court costs and attorney fees to fight such poor legislation should it pass." Here is a video clip of Kommiecticut AG William "Sum-Ting-Wong" Tong whining about being sued over unconstitutional gun laws.
The next bill alert I received was for House Bill #6684 (tagged on the CGA website as HB6684) which is to remove certain precision small caliber pistols used strictly for precision target shooting that were hoovered up and into the update to the 1994 state "assault weapons ban" a few years ago. The C.C.D.L. recommends supporting this bill. Below is my [redacted] submitted testimony.
Support for H.B. 6684
My name is XXXXX XXXXX, and I have been involved with civilian firearms ownership since 1980. I also served in the U.S. Army from 1981 to 1987 earning my “EXPERT” marksmanship badge with the M16. I have held my CT state pistol permit since 1983 right after turning 21. I have competed in many firearms events in both rifle and pistol. I load my own pistol and rifle ammunition using standardized recipes and have developed and tested my own. I perform my own basic gunsmithing, fabrication, modification, and repairs. I have introduced and instructed many “firearms curious” individuals to their first firearms experience as well as an introduction to reloading while stressing safety at all times. I belong to the N.R.A., The CT Citizen’s Defense League, The XXXXX XXXXX Club, The Garand Collector’s Association, and am an authorized purchaser through the Civilian Marksmanship Program. I consider myself to have more firearm experience than the average firearm owner, and certainly more experience than the majority of members of the CT General Assembly, Administration, state bureaucrats, and sadly to say from experience, most law enforcement.
The U.S. Constitution; Second Amendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Constitution of the State of Connecticut; Article First, Section 15
Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.
Neither of these statements confer any right to arms, but instead exist to PREVENT government from denying a right to be armed. These rights come from God the Almighty to Americans by birth, not granted by any government entity. That would be a “privilege” not a right.
I am writing to provide my support for H.B. 6684 AN ACT EXCLUDING CERTAIN TARGET SHOOTING PISTOLS FROM PROVISIONS ON ASSAULT WEAPONS for two reasons.
1). It corrects the placing of certain firearms that are specifically made for precision target shooting on a list of firearms referred to as “assault weapons” because of design layout characteristics that have nothing to do with making them any “more deadly” but more precise and accurate.
2). ANYTHING that weakens those unconstitutional/intolerable abominations from 1994 known as the “assault weapons ban” and the 2013 “Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety” is a win for the freedom loving citizens that may still live in Connecticut. I will keep you all updated on upcoming bills, and post copies of my testimony here.
As you can see, I use the top qualifying header on all my testimony. I want them to see that I am eminently qualified to speak about firearms, where THEY ARE NOT! And to remind them every single time of the 27 words in The Second Amendment and the 15 words of The State Constitution in which Article the First Section 15 is not even remotely debatable; and how they violate their Oath of Office every time they propose infringements. I will update you all on upcoming pro gun bills and unconstitutional intolerable infringements, and post copies of my testimony.
