Another Non-Story For The See No (Progressive) Evil News Outlets

New York's new gun laws are already creating consternation and confusion. The Blaze tells us of a NY man who was ordered to give up his guns because he is on anti-anxiety medicine (which introduces some medical privacy questions).

Rochester YNN follows up:

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thursday, a state Supreme Court Judge ruled guns seized from David Lewis, 35, must be returned to him after he was incorrectly identified as violating the mental health provision of the SAFE Act.

"We know that from the health care agency to the State Police, there was some kind of breach," said Lewis' attorney, Jim Tresmond.

Tresmond says his client was ordered to turn in his weapons last week because he was once on anti-anxiety medication, which is a violation of the SAFE Act. Wednesday, State Police informed the Erie County Clerk's Office that it made a mistake when it said Lewis was in violation of the state's new gun law.

Ooops. The State Police are engaged in a bit of finger-pointing:

In a statement, State Police say they were simply following the law. The statement says, in part:

"The State Police was very clear in its letter to the Clerk's Office regarding the need for due diligence and the need for a positive identification by the County before they removed any weapon. The final determination on whether to revoke or suspend a pistol permit or license rests solely with the County and the licensing officials."

"My impression still stands from when they called last night – they made a mistake," said County Clerk Chris Jacobs.

My impression is that this will get zero coverage.

LESS THAN ZERO: Ok, this is non-coverage.

Listening to all the media hype this morning tell us that Polls show that 90% of all Americans want this background check Legislation.

it strikes me that with our Media, if we were to take a Poll as to who is the most offensive Black Doctor in America this week, Polls would answer Ben Carson, the disinvited Commencement Speaking Homophobe from Johns Hopkins, and not mass murdering abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

I think it would be interesting to compare the comments made about the 2 Doctors by members of the Media just this week.

For instance, here's Bill Maher:

""It turns out that Ben Carson is as stupid as every other conservative hero...I kind of like that Dr. Ben is both an amazingly talented neurosurgeon and a drooling moron," Maher wrote. "Because people need to be reminded that doctors (and other 'professionals' like lawyers) can be just as stupid as everybody else."

And here's his comments on Gosnell. " "

Etc.

Don't forget the story I linked to on another thread about the soldier stationed at Ft. Hood and lives in Temple, TX who had his lawfully owned and borne rigle confiscated by the local police because someone saw him with and was "alarmed". For that reason only, the police used that as justification to take his weapon.

There have been more eye popping stories of Leftist madness in the past few weeks than at any time in the history of the Republic.

The madness of the immigration plan; the utter depravity of the president and his allies on the gun control bill; the EPA's rampage against conventional energy; the growing number of green energy frauds. The Gosnell non-event. It just goes on and on.

And nowhere in the muddle is there any outrage.

The McConnell wiretap brings plaudits from the MSM for Corn's audacity in stenography.

It is a very sick society we live in and we must resist against this evil any way we can.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to the Bishops objections to the birth control mandate?

I've really had enough of these Newtown people. They've made themselves public figures, they made themselves part of Team Dem, they should be treated as such. Let's talk about how the swells in Town, including some of these families and some of the dead school staff no doubt, treated Adam as a freak to be ridiculed and then ignored. Unfortunately for them, the little freak was a homicidal maniac and they were irrevocably hurt. These newton families demand that the rest of the world has to lose freedoms because their smug little town marginalized a kid who turned out to be a maniac. These people have too much self-regard. They should shut up and suffer in silence-- that's what they told the Lanzas to do.

Haven't tried it enough to know if it works all the time or not.

[daddy]

I give up on the Masters.

Yesterday and today, no matter when I click on over to the "Live At The Masters" Golf Channel, all it is is panelists sitting around jabbering. I haven't seen a single golf shot in 24 hours of intermittent channel surfing.

This didn't take long. Colbert-Busch plays the race card in the SC-1 contest with Mark Sanford.

I wonder if she knows that SC has an AA Senator?

daddy,

Only ESPN and CBS can show action. Its on now at ESPN with that idiot Torico and nasty creep Curtis Strange. All GC can do is talk and show yesterday's highlights. They are not aligned with CBS but rather a sub of NBC Sports.

Tomorrow its all CBS.

a comment at pagar's link - "So much for the argument that legalized abortion is so much safer that the back alley variety..."

A few days ago I saw someone call them "front alley abortions".

Janet,

The only difference between Gosnell and Planned Parenthood is Federal money. Both are evil but one is paid better. I hope Gosnell's defense brings that up - planned parenthood, the feds, etc. do it all the time, etc.

[NK]

ESPN has about 4 hours live starting 1500ET and then replay afterwards, through 2400ET.

I've liked Mike Torico ever since he called BS on Jesse Jackson almost 20 years ago.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

Boy. Watching the Masters and Dustin Johnson coming apart one shot at a time on the back nine. Gone from 7 under to now either even or plus 1.

[daddy]

Thanks JiB, for the steer to ESPN. What a relief to actual see some Golf.

If I had wanted to watch jackasses jabbering around a table all day long I could have just switched on over to MSNBC.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

NK,

Why would they put a guy as anchor for a golf tournament that never played a round in his life? He may a good guy for his JJ comments but he was badly used by putting his foot in his mouth so much during golf telecasts. Having Strange Strange wtih his didn't help and that's why they brought in Zinger.

[NK]

Dustin Johnson collapse? well... at least he can go to young Ms. Gretzky for succor and comfort... yowza... The Great One plus a Model wife yielded some kind of offspring.

[NK]

Torico's more of a host, so I think he does OK. The real loser is Strange-- just something really offputting about him. Zinger is nutz, so I like him. The CBS Crew doing the commentating is fab-- Feherty, MacCourt, Faldo-- they're all nutz-- I just wait for them to say something that gets them banned like MaCourt was a few years ago.

If by chance you were wondering about the differences between our First Lady and Miss Mexico, this link will clear that up for you, but allow me to post a bit of it.

Differences

One of the largest differences between these two women is the legacy they’ll build as first ladies of their countries. Before her husband took office, Obama was already known for her intelligence; she worked under Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and at the University of Chicago Hospitals. Even so, she had to work to make her role as first lady a meaningful and involved position. She’s carved out her niche promoting healthy foods and eating for families and their children, and even authored a book about the White House garden and gardens across America.

Rivera, on the other hand, might have a harder time moving beyond her celebrity to be taken seriously as a first lady who’s more than just a figurehead. Unlike Obama and her predecessor in Mexico, Margarita Zavala, sitting President Felipe Calderon’s wife, Rivera doesn’t have a prestigious intellectual career on which to build her own policy initiatives.

FWIW the statements "Obama was already known for her intelligence" and "Prestigious Intellectual Career" are both bolded in the original story in order to make sure you don't miss it.

[matt]

does anyone have any links to Kermit Gosnells statistics?

rates for abortions, number performed per year, price for getting an oxycontin scrip? yearly income?

One of the things the scum on the Left don't want people to know is how profitable it is.

[Thomas Collins]

Is anyone aware of the background of the matter discussed in the LUN? From the article, it sounds as if the Federales are putting Amish away under a federal hate crime statute for what appears to be common assault and battery (and perhaps false imprisonment).

[Captain Hate]

Tirico's probably being ill used at golf (I'll take a back seat to nobody on criticizing the dunces at ESPN/ABC) but he has a pleasant announcing voice and does excellent basketball play by play. Nantzy boy may be conservative but I can't stand listening to his content-free fluff.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

The biggest problem for Democrats on gun control is Democrats.

Brian Walsh explains

Just a sample:

"As newly-elected Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp tells the New York Times today in explaining why she disagrees with the gun control lobby despite entreaties from several Newtown families:

"In our part of the country, this isn't an issue...This is a way of life. This is how people feel, and it is extraordinarily difficult to explain that, especially to grieving parents." Bottom line, she said, "I'm going to represent my state."

[Captain Hate]

That case has gotten a lot of coverage around here, TC, and it's a strange one. The guy sounds like a real jerk (which isn't a crime or we'd be one giant penal colony) and I've never figured out what his point is because the Amish aren't exactly Schooooomer-esque in their demeanor. I think they'd have rather handled it internally but it just got out of hand. Imo the hate crime statute would be ill applied here although I'm not a fan of it ever being used.

[Thomas Collins]

Thanks, CH.

I wonder whether the Federales would pursue a hate crime prosecution against an Islamic male for forcing female members of his mosque to wear burqas. I know, rhetorical question.

[Captain Hate]

We agree on Verne even if he's lost a bit off his fastball. The SEC's contract with CBS is one of the most effective sports marketing I've seen in a long time.

[matt]

Was this the beard shearing case? How does one define a hate crime if it is within the context of a non life threatening crime? Was shunning not an option? Forcing them to wear Duck Dynasty style beards or eat canned beans?

Sounds more like the citizens of Paris after the liberation and their treatment of female collaborators.

Is it too late for her mom to take her for a post birth abortion at pop Gosnell's?

[Captain Hate]

matt, it was a bit stranger than that. First of all, yes to everything you said on the hate crime nonsense; that it was even contemplated shows a disturbing mindset permeating the entire DOJ. Second, shunning was probably attempted but the perps kept insinuating themselves back into the community; kind of like a breakaway sect who refuses to break away. Finally, every photo I saw of the accused made him look like he wasn't right in the head or was doing it for a lark. Keep in mind that the Amish are continually beset with how to deal with the modern world of Yankees and family trees that are shaped like telephone poles.

Captain,

Do you know if the Amish in general are able to sustain themselves and their community numbers-wise, or are they on the road to extinction pretty much like the Shakers, who are now down to only 3 aged members total left in the US?

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

Those people who delight in snipping the necks of born alive abortion experiments deserve the same place in hell as Mengele. What is the difference?

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

CH and matt,

One thing missing in the Amish case. They are devout Christians. Just another notch in this administrations "war on religions other than Islam". Look around!

[daddy]

What is the difference?

With Mengele, once the US Press found out about it, they publicized it as horrible. With Gosnell, the US Press know it's horrible, so they refuse to publicize it.

Other than that I don't see a difference.

daddy,

There was the Silence of the Lambs and now we have the Silence of the Lions. The press/media in this country is suppose to be the Lions, roaring at every indiscretion and fake or fraud, every crime and sin against mankind, every duped occasion and what do we get - apologists, enablers, appreciative audience and acolytes. DOOM!

[Captain Hate]

daddy, they're still a considerable presence in towns like Middlefield and Berlin so they're not in any immediate danger. They seem to be pretty smart so I imagine they're not unaware of the perils they face and probably have thought out ways to deal with it while still remaining true to their culture. I've had nothing but positive experiences interacting with them so the last thing I want to do is be inadvertently condescending or patronizing toward them.

[Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet]

The Amish have been around since around 1639, and began coming to this country in the early 1700s. According to wiki:

As of 2000, over 165,000 Old Order Amish live in the United States and approximately 1500 live in Canada.[5] A 2008 study suggested their numbers have increased to 227,000,[6] and in 2010 a study suggested their population had grown by 10% in the past two years to 249,000, with increasing movement to the West.[1]

Over the centuries, many former Amish (including many of my ancestors on both sides of the family) have broken off and been absorbed into less strict protestant denominations such as Mennonites, Brethren, Lutheran, etc.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

CH,

Okay, I'll concede that and revise my comments to the War on Flyover Country. No Amish on the coasts that I know off:) It has to be something other than attacks on each other just because of follicle envy.

[Captain Hate]

Thanks for that data and insight, Jim. Do you know if any outsiders are allowed in? Or if descendents of people that have broken away can come back?

Amish in our area aree growing but are in the news because their iron wheels are hard on the roads and the horse manure in the road seems to bother some people.

There's this from Jan. 2011 @ Philly.com-

"The bigger the baby, the more he charged; his fees ranged from $325 to $3,000 per abortion, Williams said. Anesthesia was additional, although he and his staffers would "sedate to stupor" patients who screamed or moaned too loudly, according to the report. Investigators estimated that Gosnell's salary for one year was $1.8 million."

and

"That's because Gosnell routinely destroyed his files, according to the grand-jury report."

So I'm not sure they know much.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]
