It is time to talk about guns (oath breaker barf alert)
Esquire ^ | 03 DEC 13 | LTC Robert Bateman

Posted on 12/03/2013 5:58:06 PM PST by DCBryan1

People, it is time to talk about guns.

My entire adult life has been dedicated to the deliberate management of violence. There are no two ways around that fact. My job, at the end of the day, is about killing. I orchestrate violence.

I am not proud of that fact. Indeed, I am often torn-up by the realization that not only is this my job, but that I am really good at my job. But my profession is about directed violence on behalf of the nation. What is happening inside our country is random and disgusting, and living here in England I am at a complete loss as to how to explain this at all. In 2011 the number of gun deaths in the United States was 10.3 per 100,000 citizens. In 2010 that statistic in the UK was 0.25. And do not even try to tell me that the British are not as inclined to violence or that their culture is so different from ours that this difference makes sense. I can say nothing when my British officers ask me about these things, because it is the law.

And for that, frankly speaking, I am embarrassed by our Supreme Court.

” Hopefully he’ll see this thread and try to defend himself.”

If he does try to defend himself, I’ve heard he carries a brick in his purse so watch it.

Everybody talks crap, but nobody runs the numbers.

We, the people... are armed. And that ain't changing.

” and living here in England I am at a complete loss as to how to explain this at all.”

Ach!! Let Dr. Zulu explain.

This is part of your problem. You are suffering from what is known as “European Union Syndrome”. You must have caught it while you were over there in England.

The symptoms involve severe hoplophobia, shrinking tentacles, a softening of the backbone, a lost of the stomach function, a large yellow stripe down the back, and irrational fear of words like “Crusader”, “Christian” and “Western Civilization”. You probably also have an irrational fondness for lying, pandering arrogant politicians named Obama who look like Mussolini with a dark tan.

My suggestion is you stay there. We have too many people suffering from this malady here already and there is no apparent cure except for a sudden loss of medical coverage.

Take two aspirins and call me in the morning if you don’t feel better.

The UK has a black population of only 2% vs 12.5% in the US. Once again, people refuse to see the elephant in the room.

Yes. They will. When it gets expensive.

Warfare sucks. It sucks to have soap all over you and dive for cover when the rocket alarm sounds, and you know they aren't going to hit squat (except sometimes).

They don't want to live like that.

They would have to.

The military might of the western world can't stop that crap in Afghanistan. Here would be much, much worse.

Bateman is just pissed because an armed populace has the means to resist the tyrannical socialist government he wants to force down our throats.

We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers. That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes. Guns, except for the three approved categories, cannot be inherited. When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them.

I can wait you out, Sweet Pea. And I can give my guns to anyone I like who will wait you out, and you can't stop me. And if you are stupid enough to send in the thugs I really will kill them and then I'll come after you. Believe it, Sweet Pea. This isn't going to be one of those "I orchestrate violence" masturbatory fantasies of people who got a CrackerJack-box commission. You're going to have to get down and dirty on this, Sweet Pea, and I'm more than happy to go there.

Just butter up the pontificating and stuff it in your festering gob, guy. We have them and we're going to keep them. If you want them, come and get them.

Good plan. My plan is to pass on my firearms and supplies to one or more young patriots before I go. Your move.
