Bloviation At The Times

The Times front-pages an editorial for the first time since 1920 to - I kid you not - renew their ongoing call for a new assault weapons ban (Yeah, that is a lot of history that couldn't break onto page 1). As a bonus, they want to attempt to confiscate existing 'assault weapons', so we know they are in full fantasy mode.

However, if this is the official Times editorial position position there will be pressure on Democratic candidates to support or reject it, and good luck to them. Run, indeed. Picture the Democratic campaign message: the jihadists are here, we can't stop them, so turn in your guns. Obama is sufficiently arrogant and out of touch to think that might be the winning ticket, but it's hard to believe Bill will let Hillary walk that plank. Which portends trouble in progressive paradise.

As a display of 'Too much free time' I posted the following comment for the Times moderators to reject (links added here):

So the Times is calling for another assault weapons ban? Just to trot out the obvious objections: (1) The DoJ studied the ban that expired in 2004: "Should it be renewed, the ban's effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement."

(2) Anyone familiar with the numbers knows we have (FBI UCR Table 20 8, 2014) about 8,000 gun homicides per year. That breaks down to roughly 5,500 by handgun, 250 by rifle (including "assault weapons"), 250 by shotgun, and 2,000 unclassified. Rifles are not the problem, so banning them is unlikely to be the solution.

(3) Just offhand the VaTech killer (32 dead) used handguns. The Gabby Gifford shooter (6 dead) used a handgun. The Navy Yard shooter (12 dead) used a shotgun. The first Ft. Hood shooter (13 dead) used a handgun.

Which might suggest that conventional firearms can be as effective as the scary looking rifles tricked out to look like a prop in a Schwarzenegger film. Well. People unafraid of guns (trigger warning!) can click on the link to see a Remington R-15 hunting rifle. Why an assailant brandishing that would be less terrifying than one brandishing a Times-banned "assault weapon" is left as an exercise to the editors.

I gave no shrift to the Constitutional issues because the Times editors have already decided to shred the Constitution with the terrorist watch list gun-buying ban.

Thank you TM for this:

NYT editors: The jihadists are here, you may be working with them, turn in your guns.

I've been unable to articulate my thoughts and feelings on witnessing the news coverage since the slaughter in San Bernadino, but that sentence expresses them as well as any words I've been able to string together.

How in God's name can these people come to that conclusion? What fairy land do they live in?

[danoso]

From a summary of the shitheads weekly radio address --
He recognized the possibility that the two attackers may have been radicalized, a reminder to all of us that we need to work together to prevent people from falling victim to attempts by extremist organizations to encourage violence.

So, what happens if no "organization" actually "radicalized" these two? What if they ended up where they did by doing nothing more than reading the Koran? What if the organization is Islam itself?

[rse]

This is precisely the message on nbc network last night that I watched to avoid Huckabee on Fox. The media has their marching orders. I remember wondering where nbc thought the Paris terrorists got their guns given France's stricter laws.

One thing I know from studying the framing Institute's work is the role of a false narrative and this is precisely what is going on. Must not let facts get in the way. NYT knows full well how many professionals and reputedly well-educated people only get their news from the NYT on weekends and NPR while they drive and they are taking advantage of ignorance that is unaware it is.

[daddy on iPad]

The irony in all these idiotically spouted memes about " if you do such and such the Terrorists will have won" or "don't do such and such because that's what the Terrorists want you to do" is that the Terrorists do indeed want us to give up our guns, and the Terrorists will indeed have won if we surrender our Constitutional Rights as a consequence of their actions.

A really excellent post TM. Those gutless bums won't publish your letter, but it's worth keeping in mind that the Times is the same organization that installed gatling guns in their front door during the deadly Civil War Draft Riots in downtown Manhattan. When it's their ass that's on the line, suddenly "Assault Weapons" are A-OK, and it don't get much more "Assaulty" than gatling guns.

Via The New York Times: "Crush the Mob!" ran The New York Times headline:

At Newspaper Row, across from City Hall, Henry Raymond, owner and editor of The New York Times, averted the rioters with Gatling guns, one of which he manned. The mob, instead, attacked the headquarters of abolitionist Horace Greeley's New York Tribune until forced to flee by the Brooklyn Police.

So, what happens if no "organization" actually "radicalized" these two? What if they ended up where they did by doing nothing more than reading the Koran? What if the organization is Islam itself?

Exactly, danoso. It is Islam.
Why did my Rep. Don Beyer go to a mosque prayer service if this has nothing to do with Islam??

Maybe some of the apologists could explain the different Islams - what parts of Islam that these groups preach are not true to Islam?
the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque in Virginia
ISIS
al Qaeda

What parts of the Koran are true & which are not? Give us specifics. What parts of the Hadith are true & which are not?

[daddy]

Here's the first line from today's NYTimes Editorial:

All decent people feel sorrow and righteous fury about the latest slaughter of innocents, in California.

It follows then that people who are not sorrowful or full of righteous anger are "indecent."

Logic tells us that the only people who would not be sorrowful or angry about the killings would be Muslims---not Christians, not Jews, not Buddhists, not Mormons, not Scientologists, not Hindu Thuggies, not even atheists. By default, the only people who will not be sorrowful or angry about these murders will be Muslims, and not all of them, but again using logic, hundreds of millions of them, and not just overseas but also here in America. Probably even some who were cheering on the rooftops of Patterson, New Jersey on 9/11.

So I bring this up because it is obvious that labeling Muslims, even by inference, as "indecent people" is offensive and inflammatory, and edges towards violence" and thus directly goes against the pronouncements of Attorney General Loretta Lynch yesterday, " to Prosecute Those Who Use 'Anti-Muslim' Speech That 'Edges Toward Violence.'

That said, I demand the Justice Department prosecute the New York Times for their front page Editorial this morning, (the first on it's front page since 1920), because it labels hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world and in America as "indecent people."

Mornin' Kim!

Looks like Ted Cruz will be holding a must-watch climate change hearing on Tuesday at 3:00, with Judith Curry & Mark Steyn, among others, on board. He's calling it “Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate.” I'm assuming it will be televised….

Someone must have finally told Obama that the 97% consensus figure was bogus, so he updated his talking points: "[L]ook, here's what we know: 99.5 percent of scientists in the world say this is a really urgent problem."

What happened to the voters getting to make the choice?

I can see no way to bridge the gap between people who now know beyond doubt that ISIS did jihad in San Bernardino this past week and the enemy within in government and media and even my own neighborhood who are not only denying that it was a muslim terror attack but are trying to spin up a "How many fingers, Winston?" campaign against me.

There is no way in hell I am going to toe their two-plus-two-makes-five line, so they had better get the hell off that hobby horse before there is no choice left but to knock them off.

THat didn't work out so well for the school.

[Miss Marple 2]

Captain Hate,

Yes, I am bothered by his dropping out and also Rick Perry. Jeb Bush tied up a lot of money at the very beginning, and then with Trump's arrival the few remaining big donors decided to wait on the sidelines.

I find it a bad thing that a small group of high-dollar donors has so much influence on the race, especially because in their wisdom they thought Jeb would be a good candidate, which shows you how gullible and clueless they are.

[jimmyk]

It does bother me, [email protected]:54, but it is largely about fund-raising, which fortunately does still come from the voters and is as important as voting. I don't fully understand why Walker is out but some 1%ers (pollwise) are still in there, but I think it's because Walker started out high and fell after the first two debates, which somehow looks worse than if you're always at 1%.

[jimmyk]

Hadn't seen Miss M's comment, but I guess it's two sides of the same coin. I don't see a better alternative to private funding of campaigns, even though it doesn't always lead to the "right" outcome.

[Janet]

Don Beyer should have gone to a church or synagogue or some secular gathering to show his support for Americans that are being murdered by Islamic jihad.

The Imam from the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque in Virginia could have come along & told everyone which parts of the koran & hadith are not to be followed anymore.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

Don't get me started on the wisdom of the high rollers who write out large checks to the likes of Rove, Miss Marple. But my complaint goes beyond that and is more the ongoing entertainment spectacle of politics which ends up with Rupert Pupkin elected to two terms. Rather than complain about Trump, the RNC geniuses might look in the mirror to figure out why a media savvy entertainer is doing so well.

[Momto2]

I agree Janet - First they create a climate where citizens feel to report suspicious activity could brand them as racist and islamophobic and THEN they say things like that.

We could "work together" to convert them to Christ but somehow I don't think that's what the government is saying....

Switching to "self radicalized acting alone" terror from "workplace violence" terror won't last long.

One of the news agencies last night showed a bank statement in the home with $64,000 balance. How does a guy with wife and baby save that much cash on $51k per year plus buy all those guns, ammo and pipe bomb manufacturing supplies?

[jimmyk]

I would add that the mega-debates were a bad idea. They gave the MFM too much influence, and culled the wrong people.

[Sleeper issues, so to speak, heh.]

I wouldn't count Walker completely out yet. His two greatest issues, the government union busting and the John Doe atrocities, are key and are completely under-reported by our slavish press.

Yeah, JMH, Cruz has been the most reliable on climate, and that show promises to be a wonderful circus. Wonder who the Democrats will put up in response? Michael Piltdown Mann's name has been proposed by several skeptics but it will be a cold day in Hell when he shows his face at anything resembling a climate debate.

The American Left will make common cause with any group or nation that hates America. They have done it since the 30's. Whether it's Stalin, Pol Pot, Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein, or Hugo Chavez, there is no American enemy they won't suck up to and help.

Then I would point out the stupidity of inviting the Jihadists into their tent. While the others might be "handled" if they use the right gloves, the Muslim element they are using will, in the end, destroy them along with the rest of us. The Alinskies will come to seem like just another political party when compared to the objective of total submission and conversion intended by that one group. That's just what they are and what their religion demands of their true believers.

Not reading history is a dangerous thing.

Here's the Washington Examiner's column on todays New York Times front page OpEd.

"All decent people," the editors began, "feel sorrow and righteous fury about the latest slaughter of innocents, in California." The politically liberal newspaper allowed that law enforcement should look for the "motivations" of deceased suspects Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, though it did not get around to naming them in the editorial. Other words absent from the piece were "Muslim" and "Islamic."
