Notes From HPS

“Establishment press has virtually ignored DOJ’s pernicious ‘Operation Choke Point’ for over a year,” financial writer Tom Blumer shows in a Friday Newsbusters analysis of the program, its timeline, and its overreaching tentacles into 30 ostensibly “high risk industries” the government is now targeting. Blumer lists those industries, linking to the FDIC’s “Managing Risks in Third-Party Payment Processor Relationships.”
Hmmm. Suddenly the BoA abuse of gun manufacturers and companies makes better sense. David also gives us a good article at JPFO:
“In reality, most police departments only train about two times a year, averaging less than 15 hours annually,” a Tactics & Training article on Police One admits.
This is similar to what a Captain of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department told me once: “Most of our officers pull their weapons out and qualify once a year. Beyond that, they don’t train with them. I had to join the Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club to learn gun safety.”
Kurt Hofmann quotes Dr. Ben Carson:
On the other side of the argument, there are reasonable people who look at the tens of thousands of people who are killed each year in this country by guns, and they do not feel that we are doing enough to stop the carnage.
Many of them want to see significant restrictions on the distribution of firearms in our nation, and others want to restrict types and quantities of ammunition. Some would be happy just to make sure that all guns and gun owners are registered, and most reasonable people certainly are not in favor of allowing criminals and mentally unstable individuals to purchase firearms.
Oh, I don’t think they’re reasonable at all. I disagree with his premise, and so I’ll disagree with his conclusions. That’s logic for you. Kurt does a good job of laying out the time line and details of Dr. Ben Carson’s position on guns. Another thing I’ll observe is that this points once again to the difference between the collectivist tendencies in the Northern states versus the Southern states.
I smile every time I see some outlet pick up the Wolverine speech by Mike Vanderboegh. Mike links to a WND and Huffington Post piece. Make sure you pick up Mike’s speeches here, here and here.
What’s that concerning a Mongolian Goat Rodeo?
