Blacks and the Second Amendment – Podcast 324

88 min episode that features insight into what is happening for concealed carry efforts in Illinois and a panel that Kenn Blanchard was on trying to win the hearts and minds of 21-40 year old liberal African American professionals.

I got the blues.

Chicago Closer to Concealed Carry- Get the inside update from two veterans in the fight.

On May 30, 2013, I was invited to be part of a three part panel at the Greater Urban League of Washington, Thursday Network.  This is a group of 21-40 year old liberal African American professionals that are in the beginning of their journey into business and politics.  Most had all the pre-conceived notions that support gun control ideals.  They didn’t have a clue but were adamant about what they didn’t know was fiction.

There were about 40-50 attendees.  Out of that group, I think I piqued the interest of 10%.  Seeing that, I offered training to whomever wanted it and will seek the help of http://www.capitaldefenseinstruction.com real soon to schedule a First Steps like class where we can take this group from 0-55 mph in a nurturing environment.

I was surprised that they seemingly chose a pro-gun panel to speak on the topic Blacks and the Second Amendment.  After listening to my colleagues on the panel, I realized they weren’t that informed either and had to temper my responses not to lose any in the audience that was listening and just forming their opinions.  It was very hard.

Mr. Andrews and Dr. Richardson are brilliant men, good men but are closer to conspiracies and propaganda than the truth about guns in America.  Things that were said set me off more than a couple of times, and since it wasn’t a debate, I had to keep my cool.  There were a few good comments made like about prohibition and the repeat felon being the reason for crime in Maryland.  Thinking that the topic of Straw Purchases was new or that we can work with current politicians to do something.  The off comments about Castle Doctrine, ALEC, RealCo Guns, stand out in my mind though as the subjects that got me twisted.

You should have seen the faces when I said we were responsible and that we should take care of our own families.

I brought my son to be a “fly on the wall” and he was appalled at his peers and the responses heard.  He told my wife, “they didn’t like pops too much.  He was dropping to much Bro-Science.”

 

It’s not what we don’t know that gets us in trouble.  It’s what we know that isn’t so.”  Will Rogers

Contemporary Insanity – Podcast 323

Memorial Day 2013

In this the 323rd episode of the Urban Shooter Podcast I am multi-tasking.  You’ll see a change to this site, too.

We’re celebrating Memorial Day with remembrance, BBQ, and Blues Music.   Our country is red, hot and blue over all the nonsense that has become our government, and popular culture.

Barbara Baird reflects on Memorial Day and she is a welcomed part of the show.  You can find her and her team at http://Womensoutdoornews.com

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday which occurs every year on the final Monday of May.  Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Not to be confused with Veterans day that honors the dead and living that served.

NEWS. 

Jihadist murders british soldier in the street of Southeast London.

A group calling themselves the National Black Church Initiative wrote that guns were a sin.

A Sermon: It’s Out of Context

“And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”  President B.H. Obama 

 

 A Poem of Honor

Freedom isn’t Free.

“I wish that you were here” 
My wife whispers on the phone 
Too many times

She has realized 
That freedom is not free

“No go away, Daddy” 
My little girl says 
She’s barely two

But already knows 
That freedom is not free

I have a little boy 
Born three months ago 
When I return

He’ll be near one 
Since freedom is not free

My parents often worry 
When I am away 
They mourn for me

And what I miss 
Since freedom is not free

There are children in this world 
Rich and poor alike

Whose parents do 
Not understand 
That freedom is not free

There are men who face evil 
For the sake of all

By their stand 
We realize 
That freedom is not free

There is a God Almighty 
Nailed upon a cross 
He paid the price

That we might live 
For freedom is not free

Many days I am away
From those I love most

Yet I thank God 
And carry on 
For freedom is not free.

FREEDOM 
BY IAN THOMPSON, USMC

Our Man Won

E.W. Jackson Wins Nomination as Republican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia

You might not live in Virginia but know that one of the good guys won the nomination as Republican candidate for Lt. Gov yesterday. I got the news from an Urban Shooter listener south of me this morning.  He has been on the show.  He is making a difference in Virginia.  He will do great things.

Good news on a rainy morning. E.W. Jackson is a friend of the faithful, the firearms community, and this pastor. Support him family.
