Time to outlaw knives
THIS POST MAY REMAIN IN PLACE FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY, BECAUSE GUN CONFISCATION IS INDEED DESIRED BY ELEMENTS OF OUR GOVERNMENT. INFORMATION ABOUT THIS FACT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD.
A “mass stabbing” in Yolo County, Fornicalia, injured six persons seriously this past Saturday, the 17th.
From KCRA.com:
6 birthday party guests hurt in Yolo County mass stabbing
by Maneeza Iqbal
Six people were stabbed during a girl’s birthday party Saturday night in Madison, a town 11 miles west of Woodland, the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office.
The band member said two of his band mates were stabbed. A woman who tried to stop the suspect was also hurt. Other witnesses said two of the six victims were airlifted to a hospital.
A machete attack in Stockton then occurred on Sunday the 18th, involving Mel and Big Block Loc, from the StocktonRecord.com:
Man attacked with machetes
STOCKTON — Two men armed with machetes confronted a man just south of downtown Sunday concerning the theft of a bicycle. They assaulted the man, leaving him with a large cut on his head, police reported.
The noon incident occurred in the first block of West Scotts Avenue near South Commerce Street. Police reported the 28-year-old victim was treated at an area hospital for a non-life-threatening wound on his head.
His assailants were both described as men in their 30s. One had dreadlocks and is known as “Mel.” The other suspect is known as “Big Block Loc,” according to police.
There was a second stabbing in Stockton, on Sunday the 18th. From the StocktonRecord.com:
Man stabbed in neck
STOCKTON — During an early morning altercation Sunday in north Stockton, a 25-year-old man was stabbed in the neck and his attacker was arrested, police reported.
The incident occurred about 5:34 a.m. in the 4400 block of Cotton Court, a short street just north of the Calaveras River off East Bianchi Road east of North El Dorado Street.
The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening stab wound, according to police.
Officers arrested Gregorio Cisneros, 21, on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to a report.
A fourth deadly stabbing occurred in the city of Modesto, on Sunday morning the 18th. Again, from KCRA.com:
Suspect arrested in fatal Modesto car wash stabbing
by Maneeza Iqbal
A man died after he was stabbed Sunday morning at a Modesto car wash, police said.
The 39-year-old man was stabbed multiple times around 11:45 a.m. at the business on Yosemite Boulevard, near Rosina Avenue. Police said the man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died. No other information about the victim was released.
These four separate incidents involving edged weapons in northern Fornicalia, all within a 60-mile radius of Sacramento — the Belly of the Bill Beast — occurred in the span of a single weekend; just two days. That’s just one 60-mile-radius within roughly one county. There are 58 counties in Fornicalia. Multiply this edged weapon activity times 50 states. Per day. There are 365 days in a year. You get the point. (Sorry. Couldn’t help that.)
People shouldn’t have to worry about knife attacks. Clearly the persons using knives against others in violence are mental defectives or abject criminals.
One thing we do know, however, is that there won’t be a state or federal hue and cry to abolish knives or edged weapons, despite the statistics involved.
For example, according to crime statistics from the FBI, knives are consistently used to kill people far more often than rifles are used. Five times as many murders were committed with knives than were committed with rifles last year. But again, people screaming for knives to be banned over rifles? Anyone? Bueller?
Murder rates before and after gun bans? Guess what? The rates don’t plummet. Ask the residents of Baltimore, DC, Detroit, Chicago and even the UK.
Some other interesting statistics.

Recently, we’ve all heard that both Obama and Hillary Clinton point to Australia with regard to outright gun confiscation — something they think might be a great idea for the United States despite that pesky and confounding Second Amendment. They both fail to learn from history. I call that Historical Alzheimers.
In Australia, it turned out that 640,381 personal firearms were destroyed by the government, costing taxpayers $500 million dollars.
That first year, homicides went up 3.2%. Armed robberies went up 44%. In Victoria, homicides utilizing firearms went up 300%.
But here’s the rub, Leftists. Guess who failed to turn in their guns? Why yes, morons, the criminals. That’s their job. Check the job description. Then check the definition of the word “criminal.”
I know I should be, but I’m not yet a member of the NRA. Looks like I’ll be joining this week. And here’s another odd rub: gun sales the past few months have been skyrocketing. More weapons in the hands of — gulp! — people who actually qualified for the purchase of their weapons. Just like the shooter in Roseburg. Every purchase was lawful and conformed to all regulations. There’s only one final regulation left. You know which one. The ultimate regulation. I’m sure the Australians were thinking the same thing: “it can’t happen here.”
Marcus Luttreall — the SEAL who wrote the book Lone Survivor, nails my feelings precisely. I surrender my firearms to no one, man or beast. And as an Oathkeeper, I have sworn to uphold the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights against all enemies, foreign or domestic. No one said my oath stopped when I retired after 41 years in law enforcement.
As of last year, there was a 73% opposition to a ban on handguns. 63% of persons said that a home was safer with a firearm present in the home.
This is another Leftist move — and make no mistake, the ultimate wet dream of Leftists is gun confiscation.
I am The Realist. And make no mistake, the reality is that the phrase “molon labe” has real meaning for me.
Another reason that this government and the UN are in the process of attempting to remove out First Amendment rights — our very right to communicate. Communication that provides opposition to the defeatist, unsound, illusory, unrealistic, naive and just plain stupid goals of Leftists and this current administration.

Along with myself and all those who are Oathkeepers, Sheepdogs, and Silverbacks — the like-minded patriots and throwbacks who adhere to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He believed in minimal government, accountability, flexibility, independence. All aspects anathema to the current US federal government.

Texas Attorney General to the feds: NO
From Breitbart.com:
Exclusive–Texas AG Abbott to BLM: ‘Come and Take It’
After Breitbart Texas reported on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) intent to seize 90,000 acres belonging to Texas landholders along the Texas/Oklahoma line, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott questioned the BLM’s authority to take such action.
“I am about ready,” General Abbott told Breitbart Texas, “to go to the Red River and raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas.”
[ That would be Molon Labe.– BZ ]
Gen. Abbott sent a strongly-worded letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze, asking for answers to a series of questions related to the potential land grab.
“I am deeply concerned about the notion that the Bureau of Land Management believes the federal government has the authority to swoop in and take land that has been owned and cultivated by Texas landowners for generations,” General Abbott wrote. “The BLM’s newly asserted claims to land along the Red River threaten to upset long-settled private property rights and undermine fundamental principles—including the rule of law—that form the foundation of our democracy. Yet, the BLM has failed to disclose either its full intentions or the legal justification for its proposed actions. Decisions of this magnitude must not be made inside a bureaucratic black box.”
The great state of Tejas seems to draw a line in the sand and make a stand.
As to what kind of standoff might Texas might be facing with the BLM on this matter, Abbott said, “I think that we should be able to resolve this from a legal standpoint because, I believe, what the BLM is doing clearly violates the law. They don’t have any legal standing whatsoever to do this and that’s why I have issued this letter today.”
In the letter, Gen. Abbott details five issues for the BLM to address:
- Please delineate with specificity each of the steps for the RMP/EIS process for property along the Red River.
- Please describe the procedural due process the BLM will afford to Texans whose property may be claimed by the federal government.
- Please confirm whether the BLM agrees that, from 1923 until the ratification of the Red River Boundary Compact, the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma was the gradient line of the south bank of the Red River. To the extent the BLM does not agree, please provide legal analysis supporting the BLM’s position.
- Please confirm whether the BLM still considers Congress’ ratification of the Red River Boundary Compact as determinative of its interest in land along the Red River? To the extent the BLM does not agree, please provide legal analysis supporting the BLM’s new position.
- Please delineate with specificity the amount of Texas territory that would be impacted by the BLM’s decision to claim this private land as the property of the federal government.
This is perhaps Rawhide Down.
