As imperative as it is to understand HOW an adversary operates...it is AS imperative that we NOT emulate the same tactics/behavior AS the adversary....and expect to WIN. It’s a poor strategy to use in a battle that MUST be won by the “nice guy”.

I sincerely disagree. I trust this man's methods:



There should be at least 30 years before your enemy can fight again. It is too late now for niceties and civilization. That is reality.

I agree! In World War One, it was FOOLISH of us to adopt the use of the machine gun amd the hand grenade! And in World War Two, the use of the Tank, Airplane, and Torpedo was utter folly. After all, our adversary used them, and we should never have sunk to their level.

Thank God I live in Texas. That nonsense is no allowed here.

A newspaper in Texas couldn't afford the ink and paper it would take to list all the gun owners here and would be forced to publish the short list of the hapless liberals in the state that choose not to own a firearm. I would like to see a newspaper publish that list.

That same thought occurred to me as well. With all those boating accidents and lost arms, who knows who has what?

Just because they aren’t registered doesn’t mean they don’t have one. Just sayin.....

These homes are ‘hurt lockers’ for criminals. Best think twice before hitting these places, you may not come out alive.

No. Criminals aren't that stupid. They'll wait outside these addresses until everybody leaves to go to work and school, then break in to steal the guns (and whatever else they can grab).

The newspaper publisher that did this should expect severe repercussions at some unspecified date in the future.

That’s true, but according to the libs, we’d live in a utopia if the government handled everything.

Good one! Now the paper should publish a list of homes where there are no guns, so the thugs with illegal guns know whom to target.

Wow, those are great! People are rightfully ticked. I hope the idiot Democrats in Congress take note of the overwhelming reaction to their gun control schemes.

Blog turns tables on gun map paper

Thanks, GregNH.

From the link:

A blogger who retaliated against a New York newspaper that came under fire for identifying people with gun licenses in its circulation area explained on Thursday why he published the names and home addresses of the paper’s employees.

“Well, I just thought they were being hypocrites,” said Christopher Fountain on CNN’s “Early Start.” “In the aftermath of Newtown, it was obviously one tragedy, but somehow they were conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published.”

[snip]

“... she could have just published the number of gun permits, which is actually quite small, if she wanted to show an issue that there are 2,000 legally registered guns in her county, fine,” he said.

“But the fact that they put the addresses — I’ve received e-mails from abused women who were under protective order and in hiding and they’re terribly afraid that now their names and addresses are all over the Internet and accessible through that map.”

“The media has been exposing, harassing personal details of people for a long time,” Fountain said. “I don’t believe I’m escalating, I believe I’m punching back.

Last night Laura Ingram on O”Reilly said we should not get down in the gutter with that newspaper.

I totally disagree with her and yelled at the TV. We need to be punching back until they stop what they are doing.

We can hit harder than them and should. That is what it will take to straighten this country out, not turning the other cheek.

There should be at least 30 years before your enemy can fight again. It is too late now for niceties and civilization. That is reality.

Nicht Kleckern sondern Klotzen!

[approximately "Slug 'em, don't slap 'em"] per Generaloberst Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army during the final year of the war and primary archetect of the Blitzkrieg strategy that proved particularly successful during the earlier days of the war, especially against those armies which had remained grounded in the methods of the previous war.

The Herr Generaloberst was particularly fond of cheering his men on their merry way with the shouted cry of Fahrkarte bis zur Endstation! [Your ticket to the last station!] to his Panzertroops when they were roaring past him, meaning that they should go as far as they could. And so they did.
