“No More Names” Bus Tour: What’s in a number?

A half truth is a whole lie. Yiddish Proverb

No_More_Names_Bus

“6,236 Americans have been ‘murdered’ with guns since Newtown,” reads the website of No More Names. What’s in a number?, I ask…This detestable bus with its detestable crowd came to Concord on Tuesday. Anti-second amendment State Reps showed up holding signs passed out by the hacks from the bus tour. Mary Beth Walz, Stephen Shurtleff, Bob Perry, Mo Baxley were just the immediate few observed there.

When they finally finished spewing their pablum-puking anti-gun rhetoric and progressive propaganda, they commenced with the business of reading aloud with the assistance of a public address system, the names of those, Killed with a gun,” since the Newtown Massacre. “Victoria Soto, December 14, 2012…killed with a gun”  The reading went on endlessly and monotonously.

The counter-protest, pro-second amendment group was relatively quiet during these readings…that is, until a very recognizable name was read aloud:

“Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev April 19, 2013…Killed with a gun”

They named a terrorist. Below, is the pro-second amendment crowd’s reaction:

Adam Lanza, Christopher Dorner and a cornucopia of assorted deadly criminals also made the cut. So, again, I ask “what’s in a number?” Within the 6,236 people “Killed by a gun” Here are just a few:

“June 16, James Jones…Killed with a gun”  by Trooper Jarrod Lents of the Indiana State Police following an attempted armed robbery where Jones fired upon officers.  The trooper was hit and was airlifted to Evansville Hospital.

“Iquan Carter, 23…Killed with a gun.”  Carter, an Albany New York  Parolee who survived a shooting in 2006 and recently released from Elmira Correctional Facility was shot after he drew an unloaded gun on his “armed killer.”

“Aaron Allen, 28…Killed with a gun.” Allen, from Hudson Falls, New York,  went to Danby Vermont where his ex-girlfriend resided and attacked her with a knife, stabbing her several times. The woman has an active restraining order against Allen, as well as pending charges for unlawful imprisonment.  Michael White, 24, of Danby, the woman’s current boyfriend, witnessed the attack and shot Allen twice with a rifle, killing him.

“Joe White III, 48…Killed with a gun.”  White had stabbed his two sisters and his mother, confronting  arriving Miami-Dade police officers, who shot and killed White. The three female victims were airlifted to Kendall Regional Trauma Center, where they are in stable condition.

“Recardio Shormon Clark…Killed with a gun.” Clark, with a long history of violence toward law enforcement open-fired on Alachua County Florida Sheriff’s Deputy William Frank Williams when he  answered a disturbance call Saturday night, only protected by a vest of soft body armor. Clark fired another shot at Deputy William’s chest, hitting him. Deputy Williams returned fire, killing Clark.

This is merely five examples of the “victims” of gun violence the Charlatans of New York want us to feel bad about. They all were on the list read at the Tuesday Rally. I jumped around the list unscientifically and gleaned out these thugs, these criminals….

These individuals are not victims at all…they are scum. For including their names on the list to further an anti-gun agenda cannot even begin to be described as shameful. “No More  Names” is scum, along with those who stood and participated in advocacy of that rally or vigil or whatever the hell they call it.
