Beachin' AAR

Cannon Beach, OR, was fun for a couple of days.

Hotel report: We stayed at the Wayside Inn, a motel across the road from the Tolovana Beach Wayside, a State park. Arriving a bit early for check in, the gracious innkeeper let us check in earlier, and also upgraded our room to a full 2-bedroom suite, with full kitchen. For $100/night! No, I didn't flash any majik cards or badges to get that. If you're familiar with the popular Oregon beach towns, $100/night is a good deal for a fleabag, and this was a newer motel. Our only room gripe was that the doors still used a key-lock (high-security key though), and there was no interior night-latch. Upon check-out, I DID show my retired LEO badge, and pointed out to her that the SCOTUS long ago decided that key locks and no night-latches were a formula for HUGE damages in case of a break-in. The hotelier assured me that the inn was slated to soon upgrade to pass-card locks.

The weather: rated a +. It was warm, sunny, with no wind when we arrived Tuesday, so we sat out on our deck and bagged some rays, then after our trip companions arrived at their hotel, we met them and had a nice beach walk with them and their pooch. The next day was somewhat rainy, perfect for gift shop wandering, sampling the wares at bakeries, and taking in the prosperity of the place. Cannon Beach has always been an upscale place. The town is VERY pooch-friendly, with about half of the shops providing porches to leave the pooch while you shop. Most of the hotels allow pets also.

The food: First evening, we ate at a tavern a block away from our hotel. Fantastic food, I had a fried oyster sandwich (new to me, never saw one on a menu before). It was outstanding, perfectly served on a fresh roll. The gudwife had a seared ahi (tuna) plate, and they gave her so much of it we both ate parts of three meals off of that dinner. Second day saw breakfast in our friend's suite, then lunch bought uptown and eaten in our suite and dinner at one of the big touristy restaurants, where I ate their Cioppino, or fish stew. I had to struggle to finish the huge tureen of seafoodly goodness. The gudwife had fried razor clams, which, again, she couldn't finish and we brought them back with us and polished them off this ayem. The clams needing more pounding, were a workout for the teeth. Yesterday, we ate breakfast in, finishing most of the leftovers of the two days of food-bingeing so we didn't have to drag them home, because my travel kit included only a small cooler.

A note on dining in Cannon Beach: Tuesday and Wednesday are the days restaurants close, if they aren't 7-day open. You have less options, but Trip Advisor rates 35 'strants for the town, so even operating on half of them, one has plenty of choices. What the town lacks is a proper supermarket. Zero, zip, nada, rien, bupkis. There are a few convenience stores, and one place, Mariner Market, which has most of the necessities, but at robber-baron prices, and way too much of the frou-frou vegan and fad-dieter apple-crapple that you don't need. I spent $48 in there buying a few snacks, most of which ran to 3X the price the same brands could be had for in the Big Citeh. You have to get back on the coast road and drive North to Seaside or Warrenton, 8 or 20 miles depending on which supermarkets you want to shop at, if you want supermarket prices.

Cyber stuff: we had decent T-Mobile reception, I had decent Verizon 3G for my Xoom tablet (but not 4G, hmmmm), but our friends had AT&T and got no high-speed, only basic phone service on their I-Fones. I was able to punt my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 into "hotspot" mode after breakfast at their place so they could check their cyber necessities. My hotel had okay, just okay, wi-fi, not suitable to streaming video, and music only at 32kbps. No Netflix in bed to nod off to. The McBee Cottages had no useable wi-fi.

Summary: A fine little relaxing interlude, and I held to my budget of $400, even having enough left to blow $75 at Josephson's Smokehouse in Astoria, OR, on the way back home. Shoot, it might just be time to go tie into that bag o'goodies and have a snort of decent scotch with that smoked fish. Writing an AAR always makes me thirsty for something good to sip.

The Wordsmithy

...has been prohibited from fueling it's forge with coal and hardwood charcoal can't be found either, only dried dung remains to fuel my forge. Fortunately, it's in great abundance from the large herds of intellectually-castrated steer-citizens hereabouts.

Apprentice! Shovel more shit on that forge-fire and lean into that bellows! I'm trying to work this soft iron of a language into some steel-armored words which might inspire this Nation to offer adequate resistance to our cruel overseers.

Greetings

From the beach.

That's Cannon Beach (after all, this IS a gun blog).

It's very mellow here, so it's too hard to work up a rant.

You get gunfunnies instead:

A local boy walks into his favorite bar. He's all agitated, and he pulls a revolver out and waves it around for effect, then yells, "All right! Who in here has been screwing my wife?" There's a pause, then from the dark part of the barroom comes a measured drawl, "Son, you're gonna need more ammo!"

Have a nice day!

USAG Holder claims the "Right of Kings" for Feds

This may be the definitive word for this Administration: States have no powers, even within their own borders, and their Laws are ALWAYS inferior to Federal law (and edicts made without benefit of law, it seems).

Couple of observations: first, this is the exact position of the Federal Government which started the Civil War. Note that the "State's Rights" position this time has a tad more MORAL basis. Second, there has been a sea change in the attitude of the Feds which brings on this statement of Holder's: he would NEVER have made this statement seven months ago.

The Imperial Presidency has just been declared.

You can either bow your back like a good imperial subject and put up with the Imperial Presidency and all the corruption which goes with it, or you can grab your ruck and rifle, then leave your home for the last time.

Did I miss any choices?

God Bless the Marine Corps

Thanks to the Armorer of Arrggg!, I was connected with an amazing development in military vehicles, the Expeditionary Fire Support System Prime Mover of the USMC, a product built by General Dynamics.

The EFSS is designed to tow the heavy 120mm towed mortar, and special purpose trailers with it's ammo supply. A Mortar Company would accompany most Expeditionary units put down in the shitholes where the USMC fights. The Marines are heavily invested in the V-22 Osprey, now known to the Corps as the MV-22. That aircraft is restricted to loading rolling stock of a max width of 60" (five feet), which lets out using HumVees, as they are three feet too wide. The old M151 Jeep was about the right size, but didn't have enough grunt for the grunts (and is obsolete), so General Dynamics built them a new one with a vastly-improved chassis with 4-wheel drive AND steering, and CTIS (I hated the central tire-inflation system when I had to work on it and with it), and a decent Navisatar Defense I-4 turbodiesel to move things down the road, a multifuel engine that will burn JP8 jet fuel, too.

Just as I was congratulating the USMC on their choice of a more modest jeep-ly vehicle, I noted that the General Dynamics website mentioned another vehicle in the family, the LSV, the Light Strike Vehicle. Be still, my pounding heart, could this be, could it be...

YESSSSS, it is an assault 4X4:

Having fought in said shitholes for decades, the Marines have encountered what became known as "technicals", light trucks mounted with auto weapons. What better way to fight them than to have your own "technicals"?

The grotesque up-armored HumVees and MRAPs have their place, I'm sure, but for zipping around and still dealing death via Ma Deuce, the LSV looks like a decent deal, AND it gets there at 250KT by MV-22.

Gun Control Nazis still at it

...now they're coming after smokeless powder itself, black powder, Tannerite, and etc, etc, etc.

Thanks to JPFO for the news, but I was first, on various blogs in comments several weeks ago, and then in the update to this post.

Of course. These Nazis won't stop until their Gauleiter has control of everything remotely related to keeping and bearing arms.

If we let the Nazis do it to us....

Never again.

The "Second Amendment gets used" clock just ticked off another minute towards Midnight...

 

ADA regs for websites?

Fine idea, but how come we don't fix all the other handicap-access problems that the ADA was built to fix, first?

In Oregon, they have adopted a "separate but equal" doctrine for at least one ADA-critical application, that being handicapped access to boating the pristine waters of Waldo Lake, one of Oregon's biggest lakes.

Last year, my boater-acess political org, Willboat, argued before the State Marine Board that restricting access to the lake for motor-boaters was a violation of the ADA. The Board agreed with us that removing motor-boater access to the lake would likely be seen as an ADA violation, but they defended their closure by saying that there were other lakes that handicapped boaters requiring motors could use.

Pardon me, but wasn't "separate but equal" as a doctrine to alleviate discrimination ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS about 50 years ago?

Enough specifics.

The entire problem with the ADA is that it is allowed to be watered down or have exceptions made to it by the very Government which is supposed to have been so enthusiastic about the idea of handicapped-access in the first place. There is large cost in ADA compliance, as CATO's article points out. Thereby, there is a large opportunity for political graft.

Either enforce the ADA or remove it from the books.

Happy Mother's Day?

Not if the Huffington Post has their say about it. Read it and weep. If you are celebrating the holiday with a proper sense of history, you have to cheer on feminist radicalism, which was just as bad 150 years ago as it is today, so sayeth this article. You are "cherrypicking" history if you look on Mother's Day as the event is celebrated today, says the HuffPo's religionist, Diana Butler Bass.

What happened to Mother's Day to turn it into the over-commercialized, potlatch* event that it is today?

Political correctness, that's what. The power of the Hallmark Corp's dollars for another.

Political correctness didn't start out to be a tool of radicalization. It first started as a Christian religious system for keeping the heathens "churched"**, but later morphed into a system for keeping American Values*** intact. Somehow, probably at the behest of the smart First Socialist, FDR, political correctness was morphed again, into a tool of political radicalization and for spreading the socialist manifestoes. It has remained in that role, but it wasn't always that way.

*Potlatch, a Northwest Indian custom involving holding a holiday to demonstrate wealth and re-distribute it (among invitees). Wiki here, and the Wiki is correct, if my study of these tribes via museums in the PacNorWest has benefitted me at all.

**The early churches in America resorted to force occasionally to keep their parishoners in line and in the church and giving money to support it. The "Beadle", a religious constable, and the "Tything Man" were just two of those tools used in the forced-accptance of early religion here.

***How else do you explain the popularity of Norman Rockwell's work, almost all of which touted the "normalcy" of America?

Death dreams

Most folks think of death from time to time, and that's okay, just so that one doesn't obsess on the subject.

In fact, I happen to be one of those who believes in a Warrior's Code, and that code requires me to think of my death in advance of it happening, and come to grips with it so that such thoughts do not slow me down when I am in battle.

This is all very routine, the military makes you prepare for death so that your dependents will be properly provided for if you fall in battle.

There are some things that the military doesn't do, though. One of those is play the music of your choice at your funeral services. If anything is played, it is "Taps" at your graveside service. Very standard, too short and too frequently heard.

I want this played at my service.

The music is not ancient, it goes back less than 50 years to it's composition, but it was inspired by the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky, who wrote a LOT of music to commemorate battles of great importance in his time, a time in which the art of war was considered a high art at the least, and to many, the highest art.

As I listen to Melissa Venema play "Il Silenzio" on her trumpet, with the great Maestro Andre Rieu mostly just standing by with his orchestra and watching her, I close my eyes and I have a death dream.

My warrior personna tells me that this music is intended for a military bugler to play, over a bloody battlefield, while a short truce is called to tend the dead and dying soldiers who just fought there. In my insight, I see myself on that battlefield, mortally wounded after volunteering to be a rearguard and hold off the superior enemy so that my unit could escape. With my rifle, and my skills with it, I accomplished my task, but I was hit in the counter-attack and now lay expiring with those I slew. As the first notes of "Il Silenzio" drift overhead, I slip into my last sleep, knowing that this was how a warrior is supposed to end up, dying, out of ammo, but with his grisly coup-count close by. The irony that this music started out as a love poem set to music is not lost on me, and delicious irony is also a fine accompaniment to a virtuous death.

That's my latest death dream.

Do you have one you want to share? Comments will work for that.

Huzzah!

Huzzah! News: I am discharged from the care of the Providence Cardiology Dept, which, having controlled my BP (but never having found out why it spiked), says that I have ZERO Peripheral Artery Disease, and am therefore cleared for UNLIMITED EXERCISE! ! ! !

I will decide which one of you gets to do that exercise. I would have decided by now, but it's been nap time....

That is all. Since it is now Cocktail Hour, a ritual I unfailingly observe with the dignity it requires, I might not get this decision done until Monday.

You will be kept informed.

(This Obama-style Life Management is sooooo easy!)

The First Shot of the Second Revolutionary War

...may have just been fired, by the Obama Administration.

First, go read Joe's excellent explanation of ITAR, the vehicle by which the Administration hopes to kill both the First and Second Amendments to the US Constitution.

For the first time, yesterday ITAR was implemented against a "Joe Sixpack", not a firm dealing in arms, or export of computer technology, just a guy with an idea on how to use evolving technology.

The Joe Sixpack in this case is the Printed Gun Guy.

Several things to disregard:

• The Printed Gun Guy is a jerk. Comes across as one, anyway. He's about on a par with the Open Carry folks who DO TRY to intimidate others with the sight of big scary guns. Ever hear of an O/C guy openly carrying a Kel-Tec P3AT?
• Cody Wilson claims to be advancing this 3-D Printer technology for the purpose of spreading Anarchy. Goodness, we all need more of THAT, don't we?
• The "Printed AR" that Wilson developed is a POS. It fell apart in this test after 6 rounds fired, and is a huge danger to the firer. It would be lawyered out of existance if it was sold on the open market.

Given that Cody Wilson and his "WikiGun Project" is apparently in full-failure mode, why couldn't the Feds have just let him fail, or perhaps sued him for making/spreading the use of a dangerous product?

But no, the Feds jumped the shark.

They trot out ITAR, which they claim, (read Joe's blog) gives them the right of control over ANY information or process that offers ANY chance to arm or improve the armaments of an enemy. That position, were it to become tested in court and be the Law of the Land, would negate the First AND Second Amendments to our Constitution, and thereby, make the Federal Government into a prima-facie dictatorship, controlling thought, speech, dissemination of information and of course, all guns.

I repeat, ALL guns. It also means all training with guns, accessories for guns, ammo for guns, etc.

If the Feds can claim a non-battleworthy POS like the WikiGun (or the data set to build it) could possibly be considered of value to an enemy, then ANYTHING is of value to an enemy. For that matter, since the basic society of the USA is superior to the basic society of any of the shitholes we call our enemies these days, you could, by extension, say that US society itself is of aid to the enemy.

If this is an isolated case, just an inept Administration's way of trying to snuff out a concept that has the potential to obsolete the entire National Firearms Act (if properly applied, which it isn't in this case), then fine, it will soon cease to be of importance.

There is, however, a huge danger that this Administration will expand on their use of ITAR as an anti-freedom tool, and in that case, make a note of it, History fans:

May 9th, 2013, the Federal Government fired the first shot in the Second Revolutionary war. That shot hit it's intended target, which the Federal targeting mavens had wrongly guessed would pre-emptively end the fight for freedom.

If we see more of ITAR though, there will be more shots fired, and they likely will NOT be fired from POS plastic guns or lawyer's processes, they will be fired from real rifles, at important targets ON BOTH SIDES.

Do you want real Gun Control, Mister Obama? If you do, just leave us alone. Our guns already ARE under control, and will stay that way. Loss of control for YOU, Mister Obama, will stem from trying to erase our gun freedoms. Only an Idiot fails to see that, and you're supposed to be a smart guy, not an idiot. 

More Global Warming alarmism

Part Deux? Soixante Deux (62) is more like it. 

Here is some totally garbage alarmism from Ass Press.

Here is the opening statement:

"TELESCOPE, Grenada (AP) — The old coastal road in this fishing village at the eastern edge of Grenada sits under a couple of feet of murky saltwater, which regularly surges past a hastily-erected breakwater of truck tires and bundles of driftwood intended to hold back the Atlantic Ocean.

For Desmond Augustin and other fishermen living along the shorelines of the southern Caribbean island, there's nothing theoretical about the threat of rising sea levels."

Okay then, let's apply a tiny filter called Truth to this.

• Nowhere in the entire story does it ever say how much the sea level has risen.
• It does say that the Grenadans have done some ill-advised dredging in the area.
• Nowhere does it say that their man-on-the-scene has ANY credentials as either an engineer or a climate scientist, but...
• The article goes on to blame climate change anyway.
• The simple fact here is that there are two ways to flood a coastline: raise the sea level or lower the seashore. It definitely appears that the latter was done here, but yet the alarmism still continues.

This whole Ass Press article is a crock of crap.

I challenge the Global Warming Alarmist Fraternity to adopt the following manifesto of Truth:

• Every article on the subject of rising sea level damage shall be opened with a statement of just how high the sea level has risen, over a stated period of time. Not in storm surges, but permanent sea level rise, the ONLY indicator that can (or can't) show the truth of such claims. 
• When talking about sea level changes, ANY alteration to local ocean floors MUST be discussed, with an engineering-level statement of how those changes, natural OR man-made, affected flooding of the coastline.
• Water seeks a constant level, and is easy to measure. We know about tides, we can predict and measure storm surges, and all of those factors can be discounted to give us a true base water level. According to this interactive chart by NOAA, the sea level rise in Grenada's part of the Caribbean Sea is from 3 to 6 millimeters per century. The entire US East coast has a sea level rise of 3 millimeters per century, maximum. That's one-eighth of an inch, and one quarter of an inch, MAXIMUM,  in the South Caribbean Sea. Note that in AK, some sea levels are trending DOWN by a half-to 3/8" per year.

This alarmist article by Ass Press does no one any good.

Have you ever asked yourself just why, if all the Earth's coastlines are in danger of inundation from rising sea levels, that engineering to "save the coastline" hasn't even started yet, anywhere? Can you guess why that is?

In every engineering analysis of solutions to a potential crisis, the engineers will first ask the question, "is this crisis actually happenning or can it realisticically be expected to happen, and when?"

Of course there's no engineering, because that question has already been asked, and the answer is, always, "come back to the engineers when you have data showing an actual threat".

That's the name of THAT tune, "Actual Threat". As currently measured, the actual threat, if present trends continue, will not occur for several to many centuries.

BTW, the Ass Press article tries to blame "ferocious storm surges made worse by climate change". That's an apples and oranges discussion, and again, the alarmists will lose, because when you stack up hurricanes by the century or epoch, there's little to no change to report. Weather is weather and climate is climate, and there are few links between them.

Ass Press, get real or get out of here.

End of discussion.

 

 

The Benghazi Boogaloo

Yep, it's dancing time again for the Democrats, so they trot out the Boogaloo, and we have been treated to a full day of it on the telly.

I don't want to burst any bubbles here, but if there is a single conservative who doesn't know the truth about Benghazi by now, it's because that right-thinking person just got off the slow intergalactic shuttle from Planet Zargon.

It boils down to this: Since this Administration began, "sensitivity" has taken precedence over Security at every US embassy around the world, and that is obviously by order of President Obama. We pretty much had this embassy security thing covered for the first 225 years of our Nation's existence: put Marines at the embassies, and leave them in charge of Security.

Along comes the "apologize to everyone" crowd, and their first take on it was to end visible security. The USMC is nothing if not visible, so away they go. They were "replaced" (not really) with a bunch of ex-spooks (contractors of the State Department) in plain clothes, with various levels of armaments, usually little to none, plus totally untrustworthy locals hired for the job. This was done in the name of not "offending" anyone in the host nations of our embassies.

Consider the case of Libya: a nation without an effective government, one which had just gone through a violent revolution to depose a dictator. Armed militias roamed the streets, and Jihadi militants were everywhere. Our embassy in Benghazi, Libya last September was a pool of gasoline waiting for someone with a match to come along. And they did. And there was no security. And our people died.

Almost immediately after the 9-11-12 attack on the embassy (interesting, predictable date, yes?), the Administration went into full cover-up mode and has been there ever since. Lie after lie. "Talking Points" ad infinitum. New faces to lie for old faces, but lie, lie, lie.

Today, at the latest Congressional hearings, some of the lies were exposed. 

Huzzah, they exposed some lies. Give Rep. Issa a kewpie doll.

B.F.D.

Is anyone at risk of being indicted for lying to Congress at the earlier hearings?

Doesn't sound that way.

Here's the Rivrdog Solution, take it or leave it. Quit farting around, Issa. You're not going to indict anyone for lying to Congress and you know it, so put the other side on the spot by introducing and passing a Bill that denies funding for all embassy protection EXCEPT a reinforced rifle company of the USMC placed at every embassy in Harm's way.

In other words, put embassy protection back on the footing the previous Administration had it.

Bring real guns and real gunners to the next gun fight at any US Embassy. Bringing Talking Points to a gunfight is fatal, as we know now.

End of discussion.

Victory!

Aboard: the USS Liberator, a ship of war, docked for repairs at her home port, any coast, USA.

!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#

Captain:(waks into the Radio Room) "Radioman, stand by to copy a message. Send the letter "V". Send to all stations, all commands."

Radioman: "Sir?"

Captain: "Sir, what, Sparks"

Radioman: "Sir, what is the rest of the message?"

Captain: "Sparks, that IS the message, "V" "

Captain: Never Mind. Sparks, take five, but before you go, set your transmitter to the frequency for Flash Traffic, all stations"

Radioman: "yes Sir."

The radioman flips a few switches, then gets up from his console and the Captain sits down.

Captain: (operating the key): Dit Dit Dit Daaah.

Radioman: (who never left his little cubby behind the Captain's bridge): "Sir, you just sent flash traffic of Victor." Our instructions are to NEVER send just a "V", because it is the agreed-upon signal for Victory in this War, Sir?"

Captain: (handing Sparks a photo-scan of a newspaper).

Radioman: "Yes, SIR! We HAVE won, Sir!"

Here's that photograph that Sparks just saw:

 

Captain: "Do you have a microphone for the ship's P/A in here, Sparks?"

Radioman: "Yes, Sir."  (flips a few switches at his console and pulls up a microphone, handing it to the Captain)

Captain: (to ship, via P/A) "Now hear THIS. This is the Captain. All work not essential to ship's combat readiness is to cease IMMEDIATELY. The Captain grants the crew 12 hours of LIBERTY ashore. The usual liberty line will now form. While you are ashore, Sailors, hoist one to the Oregon Firearms Federation, for without their tireless work in this fight, we would not have prevailed. That is ALL."

Captain (to radioman): "Can you make a tape of "V", and pipe it on the P/A for five minutes?

Radioman: "Yes SIR. Some of us have something to go home to now."

Captain: "Yes, I know that, Sparks. Your family has a farm in Scio, don't they?"

Radioman: "Yes Sir, they do. They recently re-incorporated the farm as "Liberty Farms", too, Sir"

(In the passageway, a jubilant sailor marches by, his broom at High Port. As he passes the radio room, he snaps his head to the left, passing in review and saluting Sparks, the bearer of the good news. He does NOT flinch upon seeing the Captain in the cubby, but he does lose his composure and crack a wide grin.)

Captain: (to sailor in the passageway): "Carry on, Sailor (and the Captain cracks a matching wide grin)."

I hope you liked this little ditty. This post has a second purpose, though, and that is to remind the fraction of the Legislature that pushed to overturn gun rights in Oregon that WE aren't the "extremists", as Senator Burdick (D - Portland) was just quoted as saying, SHE is the extremist for trying to take those rights away, and for her political tricks of trying to do it while dancing in the blood of murdered children in Newtown, CT and the murdered Christmas shopper here in Oregon.

While we're at it, shame on the liberal Press for enabling these attacks on our Civil Rights. Shame on the Democratic Party for lining up to support stripping citizens of their Civil Rights.

Yes, there's a lot of joy to spread with this news, but there's also a lot of shame to note.

The rights-killing extremists WILL be back. We have just enough time for a short celebration before their next attack, I'm sure of that.

Excuse me, I think I shall go to the range and celebrate by firing the annual qualifying course for LEOSA-04 (HR-218).

Fox snooze

...makes a big deal out of some yahoo who claims to be the inventor of "printed guns". Guy is a blowhard, and it's unlikely he invented the technology of 3-D printers, or figured out the data set to run the printer to make an AR-15 lower or one of his so-called "Liberator" (stolen name) "Wikiguns".

He did appear on Fox snooze though, and insisted that they call him an "anarchist".

I can think of better names: plaigarizer, intellectual property thief come to mind. Raving ego-maniac is a given. Pro-gun spokesman is NOT given. This guy has less to do with defending the Second Amendment than my pet cat.

The opposition does seem to have suckered in on the "invisibility quotient" of the "Wikigun" pistol. Look, airport scanners can detect liquid, for Christ's sake, of course they will see the "Wikigun". Didn't we go over this whole basket of over-ripe tripe 25 or 30 years ago with the Glock pistols? Haven't the scanners improved markedly in the meanwhile?

Go away, Wiki-archist. you are boring us, and please don't think you've counted any coup by getting a few idiot Democrats to rise to your bait. I could put a fresh egg in the microwave, explode it (yes, they go boom if you throw the energy to them without breaking the egg-sac first) and say I had just discovered that chickens can lay explosive eggs, put a vid of it on You Tube and the idiotarians in the (D)onk Party would try to ban chickens.

No, the "printed gun" is not the end of Gun Control.

Remember that Gun Control is not about controlling guns, printed or not. it's about controlling PEOPLE with guns.
