… affirmation or a new frightening clarity.
Depending on one’s observational qualities, the vide clip below will either: A) affirm your belief that many of your fellow Americans are dangerously uninformed sheeple, too happy-go-banality to know that they’re in trouble and unable to do anything about it; or B) eradicate the blithe faith that you share for many of your fellow Americans, pummeling it with raining anvils and bulldozers to reveal a newfound, disturbing clarity.
Okay there is a C): There’s a the slim chance that a Grok reader would be one of the happy-go-banality variety who would actually sign the petition. If you are, then expect no such revelation but more of a feeling of laughter and bewilderment at your expense.
For me, I fall in the affirmation camp.
So from the provincial pages of “This would be hilarious, if it wasn’t so true”, comes an offering from Mike Dice entitled “People Petition to Confiscate Guns From Tea Party Supporters and Repeal the Second Amendment.”
This just in from a liberty & freedom activist who attended the Tilton meeting set up for regressives to attack Kelly Ayotte last night: I just attended the Ayotte Town Hall Meeting in Tilton this evening with some fellow patriots to counter the constitution-burning, left-wing “progressives” who showed up to…
…he finds out that, thanks to Obama, he can’t get a short-barrel AR-15 OR a .45 automatic. Damn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NhbV06V1yQo

This just in from the BBC. It happened days ago in Xinjiang province, China, where “officials described as community workers searched homes for weapons.”
What happened? It started when “three officials were killed as they were investigating reports of suspicious individuals at the home of a local resident.” And then…

Growing up, Paula was afraid of guns and never wanted one in her home.
She recounts when an abstract belief reified itself; when the safety projected by modernity dissipated and revealed itself to be illusory.
Protection was always one phone call away, she didn’t expect that to change.
We all know that the Democrat party is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our socialist-in-chief, Obama. I mean, this guy hates people having the means to defend themselves. That’s why the Democrats are in such a frenzy to ban guns. Here’s an example of what’s coming from the Democrat “community organizer” network (paid for, no doubt, by our tax money):
…that is, the sacred and inalienable right to self-defense. There are only 3 Republicans in the U.S. Senate who voted against that right by supporting Obama’s just-defeated attempt to strip away a little more of the 2nd Amendment. I memorialize them here so we will remember…and so they can be defeated in their next reelection campaigns. Here they are, the three anti-2nd Amendment RINO’s:

Well, well, well: Once again an intended victim uses a GUN to save his life and that of his family. (Terrible, eh?)
This was a home-invasion by four criminal thugs. The homeowner killed two of them with a GUN. The other two are still on the loose as this is written.

Oh…and by the way…

We’ve been having a debate at GraniteGrok about which of us supports a filibuster on the threatened new Senate “gun control” bill, and who thinks we should let’er rip…i.e. “Let’s have a public debate in Congress. Let’s see a vote! Let’s see who wants to impose de facto national gun registration.“ Count me among…
And here the Virtual President addresses a joint session of Congress on the subject:
If you’re looking for political commentary, this ain’t it. I’ve just been ruminating today. It started when I was jogging and working out….
“The know-your-audience philosophy can be a big step down the road to pandering to the audience.” —Edward Tufte Red State’s Erick Erickson reports the Republican Conference is “scared to death” of the tactics of Senators Lee, Cruz and Paul – that it is supposedly putting them in a tough spot. Several of the Republicans are … Read more

Doug Wyllie, Editor-in-Chief at Police One.com conducted a survey of More than 15,000 verified law enforcement professionals. The scope and purpose of this survey was aimed at bringing together the thoughts and opinions of the only professional group devoted to limiting and defeating gun violence as part of their sworn responsibility. Wyllie says, “It’s important to note that 70 percent of respondents are field–level law enforcers — those who are face-to-face in the fight against violent crime on a daily basis — not office-bound, non-sworn administrators or perpetually-campaigning elected officials.
Wylie’s comprehensive 30 question survey afforded police officers across the Nation to share their
And hit a target at 1,000 yards? The first time you’ve ever filed a rifle? Any rifle? Well, it’s here. (This is the 21st century, after all.)
