One last comment on JPFO’s death. In last week’s SAF news release, Alan Gottlieb made the bland, mealy-mouthed statement that JPFO would continue “educating people about the pitfalls of gun control.”
It’s not surprising that Mr. Manchin-Toomey-SCHUMER would fail to acknowledge that JPFO’s submersion in SAF is in fact itself a pitfall — a trap for the unwary.
But given Gottlieb’s support for gun control victim disarmament measures as long as he judges them to be popular and comfortably mild, I believe Aaron Zelman (may he rest in peace once he stops rolling in his grave) would answer Gottlieb’s milquetoasty “pitfall” remark something like this:
Oh, you bet there are “pitfalls” for the disarmed, Mr. Gottlieb.
Collaborators, on the other hand, often find a more dignified fate.
—–
BTW, anybody who believes Gottlieb will allow Aaron’s voice to continue to ring should note this example from Mike Vanderboegh of how Gottlieb tolerates dissent.
Oh, you betcha. I was there, I think a few people behind MBV in line at the 2012 GRPC and although I don’t specifically remember his mic being shut off, I do remember the disdain with which he was treated by Gottlieb and his sycophants. Even Gura, in his pre-recorded message, pontificated, “Forget about 1791.” In other words, we have to compromise if we want to win. Bullpucky. Compromise is fine with a strategy in mind to win the long war. But not on principle.
I do have raw audio of the GRPC of the event, including the Q&A where MBV was so summarily dismissed and insulted, if anyone is interested. I suspect the edited audio my be, *ahem*, cleaned up a bit.
Rest in peace, Aaron. And rest in peace, JPFO.
I ran across this comment (partial I cut it down) posted on this website: http://www.ky3.com/official-virus-may-be-tip-of-iceberg/21048768_27924242 Have you heard anything else about the 90% attendance or forced to call child services? This is the first I heard about it.
“My daughter was sick three days in after school started and had all of these symptoms. I took her to the Dr. and she was given medicine for this. However one of our State Reps. has been trying to pass a law that states that anyone on assistance has to have their children in school 90 percent of the time or they lose their benefits. I am not on assistance however our school here in Aurora Missouri according to the principal is enforcing this law already even though it has not come to a vote. I was informed that if my daughter was not there with 90 percent attendance then they would be forced to call child welfare services on me because it is considered educational neglect. Doctors notes excusing the absences are NOT Excused Absences and that there are no such things as an excused absence.”
Maykits,thats scary! My wife thinks this was brought in with the illegal kid influx and spread by the govs relocation efforts. Part of why we need border control.
Markofafreeman – That’s the kind of thing that should be widely distributed. May not have any affect on current events, but it will certainly color future dealings.
Dang, that was a pain. Well, now I at least know how to convert an audio file to video, which Youtube demands. Here’s the link for afternoon Q& A session of the 2012 GRPC. MBV is first up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSQpoaKYJdg

If only vectors respected borders…..
Thank you very much for speaking up and for going to all that trouble, markofafreeman.
The computer I’m on right now has crappy speakers, but I’ll get over to a better computer, attach some real speakers, and give a listen. Very glad to have that link.
Archer — I’ll have to steal Mike’s image. I visit Sipsey Street often, but he posts so much I missed that one.
“If only the Berlin Wall had been built by the right people…”
Yeah. I’m sure universal background checks (and everything they lead to) will be so much better when people on “our” side, like Alan Gottlieb, help write the laws.
As Eric A. said so well a few comment threads ago: Gottlieb’s a Kapo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapo_%28concentration_camp%29
