“Little chance” any new gun control legislation will pass the GOP-controlled House.

Assault rifles are selling out across America, as customers seek to purchase them before the government can vote on bans in the wake of mass shootings.

Both online retailers and brick-and-mortar gun shops are seeing more demand than supply, according to CNNMoney.

“Our phones are ringing every 10 seconds and people are saying, ‘Do you have any assault rifles?’” said Dennis Pratte, owner of My Gun Factory in Falls Church, Va. “They’ve sold out of just about every gun shop nationwide and just about every distributor is out of stock.”


The rush on semi-automatic rifles also includes high-capacity magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.

Online retailers have exhausted their stocks of magazines containing 30, 60 or 100 rounds, CNNMoney reported.

Gun manufacturers are also running short, CNNMoney said.

U.S. Taxpayers Will Continue to Pay More Than One-Fifth of U.N. Budget

Via Don

 
In one of its last actions of the year, the United Nations General Assembly on Christmas Eve agreed to extend for another three years the formula that has U.S. taxpayers contributing more than one-fifth of the world body’s regular budget.
No member-state called for a recorded vote, and the resolution confirming the contributions that each country will make for the 2013-2015 period was summarily adopted. The assembly also approved a two-year U.N. budget of $5.4 billion.

The U.S. has accounted for 22 percent of the total regular budget every year since 2000, and will now continue to do so for the next three years.

The Va Flaggers call for a TOTAL BOYCOTT of Lexington and encourage all Confederates to join us. Please make your lodging reservations at hotels OUTSIDE of the city limits. More info here.

Join the Va Flaggers as we take to the streets of Lexington on the Lee-Jackson Holiday - Friday, January 18th and Lee-Jackson Day, Saturday, January 19th- to protest the Lexington City Council's discriminatory flag ban, which was passed to prohibit the display of Confederate Flags from flag stands on City light poles to honor Lee and Jackson during the Holiday.

Tentative plans are to meet at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery Friday, January 18th at 10:00 a.m. to receive literature, instruction, and maps. Lunch on your own (OUTSIDE of Lexington). Flag all day. Dinner at 5:30 at the Pink Cadillac (OUTSIDE of Lexington) and back to town for a Confederate Picture show after dark.

Saturday, we will attend the memorial service at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery and then march as a unit in the parade. ALL Confederates are welcome to join us in the parade or ANY of the activities! All that is required is a Confederate flag, a desire to honor our ancestors, and a smile! After the activities on Saturday, we will return to the streets and flag until dusk.

1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster

  MECUM Every Shelby 427 Cobra is rare simply by nature, but everyone knows that within that context, some reach the level of “exceptional”, a fact Carroll Shelby acknowledged when he signed the glovebox door of CSX 3301 with the inscription,

One of the rarest
CSX3301
Carroll Shelby

The first car in the third production group of 427 Cobras, this sparkling White roadster was completed at AC Cars for delivery directly to Ford Advanced vehicles in Slough, England. As such, it was never invoiced to Shelby American and did not show up in American DMV records. Factory equipped with Smiths gauges, a hardtop, 428 engine and Sunburst wheels, it was purchased new by a Mr. Franck of Paris, France, who sold it to GT40 owner Jean-Pierre Van Den Doorn, also of Paris.

Van Den Doorn placed it in his private collection and the car was seldom seen for years, until it was sold to The Vintage Car Store in Nyack, NJ in August 1977. It then went through the hands of Kirk White and then Larry Megibow, who sold the car along with a substantial bank lien to Dan Turman in 1979.

In 2001 CSX3301 was completely restored by HRE Motors in Freeport, NY, who returned it to its original White with Blue stripes, Black side pipes and chrome roll bar, and it remains the same today, with the odometer showing 10, 872 kms or 6,755 miles. The interior is outstanding, showing as new, and the engine compartment is completed to a very high standard. As Shelby noted, this is an especially unique 427; it is also gorgeously turned out and exceptionally well detailed. In addition to its listing in the Shelby American World Registry, documentation includes photos of the original ledger at AC Cars.  - 392 built

NRA fingerprints in landmark health-care law

To contact us Click HERE
 
The words were tucked deep into the sprawling text of President Obama’s signature health-care overhaul. Under the headline “Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights” was a brief provision restricting the ability of doctors to gather data about their patients’ gun use — a largely overlooked but significant challenge to a movement in American medicine to treat firearms as a matter of public health.

The language, pushed by the National Rifle Association in the final weeks of the 2010 debate over health care and discovered only in recent days by some lawmakers and medical groups, is drawing criticism in the wake of this month’s schoolhouse massacre of 20 children and six educators in Newtown, Conn. Some public health advocates, worried that the measure will hinder research and medical care, are calling on the White House to amend the language as it prepares to launch a gun-control initiative in January.

NRA officials say they requested the provision out of concern that insurance companies could use such data to raise premiums on gun owners. The measure’s supporters in the Senate say they did not intend to interfere with the work of doctors or researchers.

But physician groups and researchers see the provision as part of a decades-long strategy by the gun lobby to choke off federal support for studies of firearms violence.

The Ring Revolver

Via Ninety Miles From Tyranny

 Produced in the 1800's, the (probably French made) ring pistol is a perfect example of what was known as “la petite protectors”. The ring pistol once was one of the smallest killing devices ever developed.There doesn’t seem to be much info around regarding the practicality of the finger mounted firearm however, after a long search it appears some believe that: If it were fired, the smoke, flames, and noise would be considerable. The muzzle velocity would probably be so low that the powder burn would be worse than the bullet”

MARX IN DREADLOCKS: Kwanzaa a Holiday brought to you by the FBI

To contact us Click HERE
Via Cousin John

  

Is it just me, or does Kwanzaa seem to come earlier and earlier each year? And let’s face it, Kwanzaa’s gotten way too commercialized.

A few years ago, I suspended my annual Kwanzaa column because my triumph over this fake holiday seemed complete. The only people still celebrating Kwanzaa were presidential-statement writers and white female public school teachers.

But it seems to be creeping back. A few weeks ago, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., complained about having to stick around Washington for fiscal cliff negotiations by accusing Republicans of not caring about “families” coming together to bond during Kwanzaa. The private schools have picked up this PC nonsense from the public schools. (Soon, no one will know anything.)

It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI stooge, Ron Karenga – aka Dr. Maulana Karenga – founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. He was also a dupe of the FBI.

In what was ultimately a foolish gamble, during the madness of the ’60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better.

By that criterion, Karenga’s United Slaves was perfect. In the annals of the American ’60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.

Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the ’60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution (although some of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and murderers). Those were the precepts of Karenga’s United Slaves.

United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented “African” names. (That was a big help to the black community: How many boys named “Jamal” are currently in prison?)

It’s as if David Duke invented a holiday called “Anglika,” which he based on the philosophy of “Mein Kampf” – and clueless public school teachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday.
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear.
