brits have enough problems thank you. do not need obama’s advice to make them worse.

Just wonderful. America does not have enuff problems these days.  Everyone in the world just loves us. Nobody has any gripes about us. Get real.

So with everything else that is happening in our world, our government, in the person of the president, just HAS to butt in to Brit business of a sensitive and polarizing issue. 

I want you to see a headline. Take a look.

A meddlesome Obama should keep his nose out of our affairs

By Simon Heffer

Heffer is a very serious conservative and that word should be spelled as Conservative in his case.  He is no friend of the administration under Mr. O. but has not been especially angry at the USA as a whole like the lefties.  He’s never attacked us as a people but has had some doubts about our foreign policies past and present.  But never anything harsh by way of insults and I don’t think he does so here. What gripes me I suppose, is the idea that our president can do something to make even a pro American friend angry. And trust me, we really do not have a lot of those here. And I don’t want to start any arguments except to say that Obama in this case (as in others) is very ill informed.  And even if he isn’t, I don’t believe he cares that much. But someone should have told the president just how touchy this subject is and what it has meant to many Brits for a long time.  As far back as 9 years ago I recognized that Britain’s sovereignty was, as I saw things, being eroded.  You did not need a degree of any kind to understand that, cos the evidence was so clear and so open. 

Waytago Mr. Obama. 

Simon Heffer/Daily Mail
His unwelcome interference in this country’s internal affairs comes at a most sensitive time, considering that David Cameron is soon due to make a major speech on the subject — and is expected to say whether we are to be offered the in/out referendum that the majority of voters want.

Ironically, those on the Left who normally revile America — for its interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, support of Israel and alleged mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay — are happy to use the U.S. official’s remarks as a stick with which to beat Mr Cameron.

For their part, it is easy to understand why the Americans are so worried about Britain’s relationship with the EU.

They find it hard to comprehend that Europe is not a single political entity (like the United States of America itself) rather than a collection of independent countries.

Ever since the end of World War I, when President Woodrow Wilson attended the peace conference at Versailles in 1919, American foreign policy has been consistent. It has wanted to reduce European power and fill the vacuum with its own.

As a result, it has always cultivated officials to interfere in European affairs. The meddlesome Mr Gordon is just the latest.

America is well-versed at patronising and bullying Third World countries, but the consequences of behaving in a similar way towards Britain — a country where a substantial, and growing, number of people are fed up with membership of the EU — are very different.

It is common to hear American politicians boast how every decision they take is in the American national interest. It should not surprise them, therefore, that British politicians, too, are keen to act in their own country’s national interest.

The present discontent among many Britons about Europe is not, as is so often caricatured, a question of our ‘sleepwalking towards the exit’.

In fact, we are wide awake. After 40 years of a European project that has meant the loss of sovereignty, and economic turmoil, many of us have decided enough is enough.

If we choose to leave — and I for one hope we do — it will not be on a whim, but after a long period of rational reflection and deep consideration.

Barack Obama piles pressure on David Cameron over EU exit

Downing Street plays down US President’s personal intervention ahead of Europe speech.

David Cameron’s trouble-prone strategy on Europe suffered another setback when US President Barack Obama made a personal appeal to him not to allow Britain to drift out of the European Union.

Mr Obama’s intervention came only hours before the Prime Minister was due to make his landmark speech on the UK’s relationship with Europe.

Mr Cameron had planned to warn that the British public could “drift towards the exit” of the EU unless it reformed.

But Mr Cameron called off his speech in Amsterdam so that he could remain in London to deal with the unfolding hostage crisis at a BP gas complex in Algeria.

Downing Street did not reveal Mr Obama’s plea but the White House disclosed: “The President underscored our close alliance with the United Kingdom and said that the United States values a strong UK in a strong European Union, which makes critical contributions to peace, prosperity, and security in Europe and around the world.” No 10 had said earlier that the two leaders discussed the Algeria situation.

Today Downing Street confirmed that Mr Cameron and Mr Obama spoke about the postponed Europe speech and agreed that a debate was needed because of concerns in Britain, “but the hope is that Britain will stay in”.

just an observation

Crivens ... is this for real?

Happen to see a small article with ref. to Exec. Action on guns. Not a new story but what caught my eye was the following comment by Joe Biden.
Whatever you think of the man, he’s natural comic.  He might not have planned it that way but ... he is quoted as calling for tighter background checks for people buying guns ....  AND .....  here’s where the comic comes alive.

“Much tighter restrictions on access to guns for .....

The Mentally Ill.” Huh? 

So, does that mean restrictions can be made tighter for them, but they can still buy a gun?

I’m just passing on what I saw.

Meanwhile in other news to piss off the Brits. 

I already mentioned that guy whose name I already forgot, who came from DC to tell the Brits not to hold a referendum on the EU.
Well, as you’ll imagine not many Brits are happy with us over that but to make things even worser (giggle) and no offense intended as I’m married to a Brit,

Now the Germans have sent someone here and they too are lecturing the Brits about the advantages and joys of membership in the EU, and cautioning the Brits about leaving.

Brits are definitely not well pleased.  Some are desperately searching for another Churchill but alas, the last two generations have not produced a leader of that stature or brilliance, nor the population who might appreciate him.

washington sends a warning to london?  sure does, and some brits will not like it

Folks who make bmews a regular port of call, are familiar with my mad rants and hopping up an down anger whenever some foreigner somewhere tries to tell us how we should do things in our own backyard.  And most especially when Brits think they can decide or would like to decide, how America deals with the gun issue.  None-a-your damn business is my standard reply.

So then, now I am pissed off at our government. Here’s a fellow bmews has perhaps never heard of.  His name is Philip Gordon.  Mr Gordon is, the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. 

(I once had a Eurasian affair, but I never knew there was an official post for it. And he gets paid as well? )

Ok so, in his capacity as the above title, he has been visiting London where, he has warned the Brits to remain in the EU or face isolation.

OK, look. I understand there are things that may be in the interests of my country with regard to the EU.  I can’t think of any but there must be one at least. I have to confess to not caring though.  If I can become angry when foreigners stick their nose in our affairs, it’s tit for tat as far as I am concerned.  I don’t think Washington has any business getting into this scrape.  Oh and btw …. since politicians are by nature lying bastards anyway, I really do not see England leaving the EU in my lifetime.  The pro euro-weenies of the left will as always, manage to subvert the will of the majority on this issue. 

Do any of you recall me saying there are ppl in the USA who would if they could, have us join the EU?  I ranted on about what I see as influence and agencies here in Europe, at work in the USA.  Make us more like them, one might say.
I suppose ppl reading my thoughts based on the things I read and hear in this place, might have some of you thinking I exaggerate things a bit.  Ya think?
Well, I have pretty much chopped up this article to highlight those things that have more meaning to me personally.  How else should I take this?  You decide.
There’s a link so you can read it in the unedited version. 

Obama administration warns Britain to stay in the European Union

Britain risks damaging its relationship with America and being sidelined in the international community if it leaves the European Union, the Obama administration publicly warned today.

“We value a strong UK voice in a strong European Union,” the US State Department’s Philip H Gordon, the Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, said starkly during a visit to London to meet ministers yesterday.

“We have a growing relationship with the EU as an institution, which has an increasing voice in the world,

A British exit from the EU would not enhance the “special relationship” in any way, he said. America would continue to forge stronger links with member countries of the EU which it sees as having “a growing voice in the world and a critical partner on global issues”.

The public statements of Mr Gordon, a respected senior member of the administration, show the level of concern in Washington over a mooted referendum on British membership of the EU.

In a long-awaited speech due soon on Europe, the Prime Minister, it is believed, will say that a referendum will take place in 2018, after the next election.

But Eurosceptics have demanded that it is held sooner and Boris Johnson, seen as a rival for the Conservative leadership has joined them in making the call.

Francois Hollande, the French president, has, in turn, stressed that the UK cannot pick which laws it likes from a “a la carte” EU menu and should realise that membership “is for life”.

Mr Gordon insisted that in fact the US will be damaged if Britain did pull out. He said: “The EU in particular is such a critical partner for the United States on all of these global issues and therefore we also value a strong UK voice in that European Union.

What’s in the British interest is for the British people and the British Government to decide.”

COMPLETE AND UNEDITED VERSION

“What’s in the British interest is for the British people and the British Government to decide.”

Hey, hasn’t he already said the opposite?  And if it’s really up to “the British people” which I bet it will never work out that way, then why is he making suggestions and giving warnings?

the Prime Minister, it is believed, will say that a referendum will take place in 2018, after the next election.

Uh huh. So a wait of five years?  What scheming shits leaders (I use the term loosely) truly are.  He promised a referendum a few years ago. Whatever happened to that?  I’ll tell ya.  It was scrapped because he knew ahead of time what the outcome would be. 

Everytime I see the letters EU I want to scream, TO ARMS! TO ARMS!

good example, guns and the law usa - uk

OK, I just now caught this but since it happened in the USA, you may have seen it already.

My reason for posting it is cos I am actually a mite confused about the science, if it is science, of shooting and ballistics.  I don’t know much about guns and bullets and the really tech side that Drew has posted about in the recent past.  I read that stuff with interest however, because being so new to me, it’s all very fascinating. 

Now here is what I do not understand about this.

How do you shoot someone 5 times in neck and face with a 38 cal. hand gun, and not kill the bastard?  Heck, that’s not very good gun control I wouldn’t think.

Well anyway, kudos for the lady who defended her kids and home against this vermin with a record.  Betcha after this her gun will be of larger caliber and she may want to spend lots of time at a range.  She and husband have to worry about this guy being released at some point in time, and next time if there is one, he may be armed also.  That’s a scary thought but it must be one rolling around in their heads.

So here’s our story from the USA.

Mother shoots home intruder five times in face and neck after he cornered her in attic with her twins, 9

Unidentified woman fired all six rounds, missing only once

Suspect Paul Ali Slater was found bleeding heavily in nearby driveway after crashing his car

By Daily Mail Reporter

A would-be burglar was looking to cash in, but instead found himself in a world of pain when a Georgia mother who refused to be victimized shot him multiple times in the face and neck.

The Loganville woman, who was not identified, was in the home with her 9-year-old twins on Friday afternoon when someone began ringing the doorbell.

Thinking it was just a door-to-door salesperson, she didn’t answer.

The burglar, whom police identified as Paul Ali Slater, did a room-by-room search of the home, and when he reached the attic, she was ready.
Busted: The suspect was identified as Paul Ali Slater - pictured in a previous mugshot - who has a long rap sheet and was recently released from prison

Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told WSBTV: ‘The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he’s staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver.’

She reportedly fired all six rounds, missing only once. The other shots hit Slater about the face and neck.

Sheriff Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: ‘The guy’s face down, crying. The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.’

Slater did eventually get up and managed to return to his vehicle that was parked outside the home, but his injuries left him unable to drive, and it wasn’t long before he crashed into a wooded area.

He was found by sheriff’s deputies, bleeding heavily in a driveway on the block.

Sheriff Chapman told the paper that he was pleading with his deputies, saying: ‘I’m dying. Help me.’

Pretty good, huh?  But soooooo uncivilized.

Now then, here’s how things like that play out over here.  Where things are more civilized. 

£100 fine?  That’s about $160 in our coinage.  That oughtta show him.

Thief who drove van at farmer let off with £100 fine: But victim forced to defend himself with shotgun suffers police ordeal lasting months

Bill Edwards, 21 was accused of attempted murder after catching thief

Mr Edwards has attacked the ‘pathetic punishment’ handed to David Taylor

Mr Edwards arrested after firing shotgun at van driven by Taylor towards his mother

By Chris Greenwood

A farmer accused of attempted murder after catching an intruder red-handed spoke of his outrage last night after the thief walked free with a £100 fine.

Unemployed criminal David Taylor was captured when Bill Edwards confronted him on his isolated woodland property.

Mr Edwards, 21, fired his shotgun at a van driven by Taylor as the thief accelerated towards his mother, Louisa Smith, 50.

Taylor was caught after a high-speed chase but it was the farmer who endured a horrendous ordeal at the hands of police who arrested him on suspicion of attempted murder.

Last night Mr Edwards labelled the experience ‘four months of hell’ and attacked the ‘pathetic’ punishment handed out to the intruder.

The former public schoolboy said: ‘It’s completely changed my view of the police. They treated me like a criminal. The police have acted like bullies who have turned someone who was very supportive of their work into someone who wants nothing more to do with them. They can’t protect the public but don’t allow the public to protect themselves.’

Speaking about the sentence, he added: ‘It is hard to find words to describe how ridiculous the sentence is. I’m absolutely disgusted.

‘We have had four months of being treated like criminals only to see the real criminal let off with a measly fine which will be paid for by the taxpayer since he is on state benefits.’

Mr Edwards and his mother feared for their lives during the confrontation on their land on the outskirts of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, last August. It reignited the controversy over how householders can protect their families after a Leicestershire couple were told they would not be prosecuted for shooting at burglars.

Mr Edwards said his family has lost thousands of pounds through theft and damage caused in a number of raids on their land.

They caught Taylor and an accomplice loading stolen metal cables into the back of his Ford Transit after spotting that outbuildings had been tampered with. The thieves jumped into the van and drove it towards the pair as they desperately dialled 999 for help.

Mr Edwards fired his shotgun, which was loaded with lightweight rabbit shot, several times, hitting the van’s windscreen and bodywork. No one was hurt. Police eventually caught Taylor when Mr Edwards gave chase and gave a running commentary on his mobile phone. But the crook was only charged with metal theft.

Meanwhile Mr Edwards and his mother were arrested, held overnight in cells and left on bail for four months. Mrs Smith was arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent.

It is believed police have a recording of the 999 call in which the shots can be heard as Mrs Smith shouts: ‘He is trying to kill us, shoot his tyres.’

But even now the farmer has not had his shotgun and other weapons returned to him which he uses to control pests on his land and as a hobby. Scarborough magistrate Mike Dineen fined Taylor £100 and ordered him to pay £34.99 for damage caused to the farm gate and padlock when he rammed through it to escape.

Taylor left court grinning and sneered ‘lucky you’ at Mr Edwards after finding out the attempted murder allegation had been dropped.

Moments earlier his solicitor Ian Brickman said the thief ‘is in many ways the victim in this’ and was left so ‘traumatised’ he cannot work.

Outside court, Bill’s father Garry Edwards, 67, said the case has been a ‘complete nightmare’. He said: ‘They were victims of a deadly attack and yet some of the police officers treated them as criminals.

only takes one to decide for many, what community standards are

Every once in awhile I find something so silly, or so stupid and pc, I ask the same old question.
Can anything get any dumber?  And usually the answer is yes.

So it is with a story I found and it originates not here in the UK, but in my own home country. The USA!

Can things get much dumber ?

Take a look.  See how “one parent” can decide for ALL just what community standards are.  And one idiot who thinks that’s a “win-win” for the community.

Back to the 50s: US parent forces school to tone down production of All Shook Up because it’s too ‘suggestive’

· School is forced to change lyrics to 1957 classic and adapt the musical’s plot

· Show is only allowed to go ahead after school got copyright to edit the song

By David Gardner In Los Angeles

It has been 55 years since Elvis Presley’s shaking hips were deemed too hot for American TV and he was shown only from the waist up.
Now producers of a high school musical have been forced to change the lyrics of one of his most famous songs to prevent the production from being shut down.

School administrators in Utah cancelled the musical after a parent complained that All Shook Up was too racy.

In the 1957 classic, the king of rock and roll warbles about a sweetheart whose ‘lips are like a volcano that’s hot’. The song continues: ‘I’m proud to say she’s my buttercup. I’m in love. I’m all shook up.’

The show was allowed to go ahead only after administrators at Herriman High School received permission yesterday from the copyright owners of All Shook Up to edit the song. It is not yet clear what the changes are.

They are also making some plot changes to the musical, which brings a modern twist to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The story revolves around a female castaway who dresses as a boy to evade detection in ancient southern Europe.

The cross-dressing connotations were also found offensive by the parent who complained, who has not been named.
Jill Fishback, whose daughter worked on the production, said: ‘I’m at a loss. They’re singing Elvis songs.

‘A girl dresses up as a boy and kisses a boy. It’s not promoting homosexuality. It was supposed to be a farce.’

A spokesman for the Jordan School District said: ‘The show will go on. We wanted to make some changes to keep the play within community values. It’s a win-win for all of us.’

In August, a parents’ group got the same school district to cancel Dead Man Walking, a play about a Catholic nun who counsels a death-row inmate in Louisiana.
‘Dead Man Walking’ was scratched even though administrators said much of its profanity had been stripped from the script.

‘We want our drama to be a great experience not just for our students but the theater-goers.

‘We don’t want to offend anyone,’ Riesgraf said Wednesday.

Is it only one place in Utah that’s stupid?  Or is this disease spreading to neighboring states as well? 

btw, I wasn’t aware til now that anyone actually heard ALL the words to any of his songs.  Or most rock songs come to think of it.

must we feel something like empathy for convicted killers? Sir Trevor thinks so.

I am not posting much of this article, interesting as it is.
I would recommend you read all of it because of all I have left out.

Perhaps I zeroed in on the wrong thing, after all, Sir Trevor is not a bad man that I am aware of.  I know who he is in a very vague way, but really not a lot about him except that I am pretty sure he is somewhat left of center.  And me being who I am of course, I have this bad habit of shutting down in a manner of speaking, with regard to lots of things liberals say.  Which means I could miss some things I should catch.  Sorry, but liberals just annoy me.

Okay so, Sir Trevor is in the USA doing a documentary.

Out of all that’s written in the article, I just couldn’t help but locking on to this.

but you’d be lacking any humanity and empathy if you did not feel for someone preparing to be put to death by the state.

You can see what I mean. Right?  So here. Take a small look and then catch the link.

A liberal Brit researching American penal and death penalty issues for a documentary speaks.
And oh by the way, he want us to feel something for a guy awaiting death, who when high on drugs attacked and killed a young woman and her 4 yr old daughter.

He cut the throat the mother and partially decapitated her four-year-old daughter.

However, Sir Trevor McDonald says;

I am no amateur psychologist, but it struck me that their early lives were not ideal.

I didn’t particularly like any of them but it was impossible to cut yourself off entirely from a sense of sadness at the circumstances which brought them to prison. I was horrified by what they had done, but you’d be lacking any humanity and empathy if you did not feel for someone preparing to be put to death by the state.

I have never accepted the philosophy of state killing and my mind has not been changed by this experience. But I do understand why that system is in place for people like Fredrick Baer, and why American voters continue to support it.

When I emerged from Baer’s cell after hearing him speak in such detail, there was absolute silence. Usually there is professional banter common to all TV jobs: bad jokes and teasing and chat, but after that there was just a hush.

I was deeply affected by the depth of evil described in the interview and, like everybody on the crew, I found myself in need of a stiff drink.

Well that’s me okay. Ole lack of empathy and humanity peiper. Damn right I feel nothing for these guys.  Why should I?  Seems to me there have been far too many people feeling warm and fuzzy about criminals like these.  Why should I feel anything but loathing for a guy who did what Frederick Baer did.

It’s only because of the folks on the left that states have not rid themselves of guys like this sooner.  Why someone who is guilty can spend years and years delaying justice.  And even then justice isn’t really being served. It folks like Sir Trevor, who through their interventions and lobbying have brought an end to the DP throughout Europe and the UK.  A lot of it had to do with the second war.  You have to keep that in mind.  America did not go through the same experience, and so it was quite natural I suppose for Europe to decide that there had been enough killing.  That’s the way it was explained to me. By the time a good number of Brits woke up, it was too late.  The death penalty was dead here too.

meet the guy who says “confiscate” those guns.

Now onward and you will LOVE this.

As all of you are aware I am certain, a big mouth on CNN who happens to be a Brit, is very angry with Americans and the gun culture and especially angry with the NRA and ALL of you who own assault weapons.  Now then to be fair you should agree that he has a right to opinions of whatever nature. My problem is that as a foreigner, he hasn’t any right to lobby to change what we have.  He hasn’t a right to a platform no matter how many Americans agree with his position.
Mr. Morgan says if he had his way, ALL assault type weapons would be “confiscated.” His word. Confiscated.  Seems to me last time Brits tried that in the old days of colonies, they had a fight on their hands. 

Piers Morgan also writes for papers here and has a weekly magazine column.  This appeared in today’s Mail, and covers a couple of pages in the center.
I’m posting it here because I don’t know if this gets published in the USA also. 

Oh ... there’s a section here that is actually funny. Yeah really.  He knows a few things about guns because some of his kin were in the army. Hey-hey. Is that a qualifier er what? 

Deport me? If America won’t change its crazy gun laws… I may deport myself says PIERS MORGAN

By Piers Morgan

I have fired guns only once in my life, on a stag party to the Czech capital Prague a few years ago when part of the itinerary included a trip to an indoor shooting range. For three hours, our group were let loose on everything from Magnum 45 handguns and Glock pistols, to high-powered ‘sniper’ rifles and pump-action shotguns.

It was controlled, legal, safe and undeniably exciting. But it also showed me, quite demonstrably, that guns are killing machines.

The Sandy Hook massacre brought back such horribly vivid memories for me of Dunblane, the worst mass shooting in Britain in my lifetime.

I was editor of the Daily Mirror on that day back in 1996 and will never forget the appalling TV footage of those poor Scottish mothers sprinting to the small primary school, many already howling with anguish at the thought of what might have happened to their five-year-old children.

It was a slaughter so senseless, so unspeakable, that it reduced even hard-bitten news reporters, including me, to tears.

And as I watched the parents at Sandy Hook racing to try to find their children, I saw the same images, the same terror, that engulfed Dunblane. And I felt the same tears welling up.

Then, 16 five-year-old children were slain in their classroom. Now, 20 six- and seven-year-olds. Beautiful young lives snuffed out before they had a chance to fulfil any of their potential. It made me so gut-wrenchingly angry.

I have four children. And I still remember the blind terror I felt when I lost my son Stanley, then aged two, for half an hour at a cricket match on a field surrounded by a small running creek. I was sure he’d drowned. But I was lucky: he finally emerged from where he’d been hiding – big, cheeky grin intact.

Every parent has a similar story. To even try to conceive of how you would feel if your child was shot multiple times in the head by a Rambo madman at school is just impossible. I honestly don’t know how you would ever carry on with life.

But my anger turned to blind rage when I saw the reaction to this hideous massacre in America.

Sales of the specific weapon used, an AR-15 military-style assault rifle, rocketed at gun stores all over America in the days following the Sandy Hook shooting.

And the country’s biggest gun supplier, Brownells, said it sold more high-capacity bullet magazines in three days than it normally did in three-and-a-half years.

What is behind this apparently insane behaviour? The answer is, mainly, fear.

The well-organised, richly funded, vociferous pro-gun lobby were straight out, on my CNN show and many other media outlets, declaring that the only way those schoolchildren would have survived is if their teachers had been armed. It’s been their answer to every mass shooting.

After the shootings at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado, in July – where 70 people were hit, the worst victim-count in such an incident in US history, and 12 people died – sales of guns in the state rose by a staggering 41 per cent in the following month as people bought into the theory that if everyone in the theatre had been armed too, they’d have stopped the shooter. Can you imagine the scene as 200 people pulled out guns and started blazing away in a dark theatre?

The gun-lobby logic dictates that the only way to defend against gun criminals is for everyone else to have a gun, too. Teachers, nurses, clergymen, shop assistants, cinema usherettes – everyone must be armed.

To me, this is a warped, twisted logic that bears no statistical analysis and makes no sense. Do you fight drug addiction with more cocaine? Alcoholism with more Jack Daniel’s? Of course not.

But woe betide anyone who dares suggest this. In the days following Sandy Hook, I interviewed a number of gun-rights representatives and grew increasingly furious as they trotted out these hackneyed old disingenuous lines.

Finally, I erupted at one of them, a man with the unfortunate name of Larry Pratt, who runs the Gun Owners of America lobbying group.

‘You,’ I eventually declared, ‘are an unbelievably stupid man.’

And that was the catalyst for the full wrath of the gun lobby to crash down on my British head.

A petition was created on an official White House website demanding my deportation for ‘attacking the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution’. This, of course, is the one that alludes to an American’s ‘right to bear arms’.

The concerted effort to get me thrown out of the country – which has so far gathered more than 90,000 signatures – struck me as rather ironic, given that by expressing my opinion I was merely exercising my rights, as a legal US resident, under the 1st Amendment, which protects free speech.

But no matter.

It’s no exaggeration to say that America’s unique fondness for guns pretty much got cemented by hatred of us Brits and the War of Independence. But the main reason the more fervent gun-rights activists give is a fear of their own US federal government using its army to impinge on their freedom. The problem is that America’s historical love of guns means the country is now awash with them – and with gun death.

The bare statistics say it all. There are 311 million people in the United States and an estimated 300 million guns in circulation. (Between four million and seven million new firearms are manufactured in the US every year.)

Take out children from the population figure, and that’s comfortably more than one gun per person.

Each year, on average, 100,000 Americans are shot with a gun. Of these, over 31,000 are fatalities, 11,000 of them murders and 18,000 suicides. More than a million people have been killed with guns in America since 1968 when Dr Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.

The US firearm murder rate is 19.5 times higher than the 22 next most populous, high-income countries in the world. And a staggering 80 per cent of firearm deaths in the combined 23 countries occur in America.

My campaign against America’s gun laws didn’t begin two weeks ago when Adam Lanza committed his carnage. It began a week before I went on air for CNN, in January 2011. A US Congresswoman called Gabby Giffords was shot in the head by another deranged young man at an outdoor event in Tucson, Arizona, and miraculously survived. Six others, including a nine-year-old girl, were murdered.

Okay ... so he was sticking his unwanted nose in our business even before we knew he was. 
Interesting he doesn’t mention any stats on guns that were used to defend the home and person.  Or maybe he wasn’t interested in looking that up.

(Six of America’s 12 worst-ever mass shootings have occurred since 2007, when I first came to America to work as a judge on America’s Got Talent.) And I’ve been shocked at how America’s politicians have been cowed into a woeful, shameful virtual silence by the gun lobbyists and the all-powerful National Rifle Association in particular.

The NRA targets pro-gun-control politicians on every rung of the political system and spends a fortune ensuring they either don’t get elected or get unelected. It’s been a concerted, ruthless and highly successful campaign. And to those, like me, who stand up to them, they sneer: ‘You don’t know anything about guns. Keep quiet.’

alright, here comedy with our newest comic.
Heeeeeeerrs Pierce.

Well, I do know a bit about guns, actually. My brother’s a lieutenant colonel in the British Army and has served tours of duty in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan. My sister married a colonel who trained Princes William and Harry at Sandhurst. My uncle was a major in the Green Howards.

I had an uncle who was a green sailor once. Yeah, he got pie-eyed and rather sickly on some bad hooch.  I don’t know but I’d bet he and some buddies made it themselves.  My uncle wasn’t a major though.  Hmmm.  Maybe uncle was only puce colored. I know he told us he was ill for a bit. I’ve no idea if that counts for anything but as we see here, Mr. Morgan is certainly well qualified to speak on guns and stuff, what with all those military folk he knows.
I don’t know who trained my uncle.  Another was in the air force in WW2 but that doesn’t count. Another uncle and a cousin were in the army.  The cousin was in the K-9 corps and got to keep the dog. Never forgot him. Jackie.  That was the dog. But I can’t speak on that subject cos Jackie never said a word about his experiences. He did get a medal though.

Obama should follow up by launching a Government buy-back for all existing assault weapons in circulation (as worked successfully in Los Angeles last week).

I would go further, confiscating the rest and enforcing tough prison sentences on those who still insist on keeping one.

Either you ban these assault weapons completely, and really mean it, or you don’t.

He should also significantly increase federal funding for mental health treatment for all Americans who need it. It’s the lethal cocktail of mental instability and ready gun availability that is the key component in almost every American mass shooting.

Nor do I think Hollywood or makers of violent video games should avoid any responsibility – their graphic images can surely only twist an already twisted mind.

I will not stop in my own efforts to keep the gun-control debate firmly in people’s minds, however much abuse I’m subjected to.

The ‘more guns, less crime’ argument is utter nonsense. Britain, after Dunblane, introduced some of the toughest gun laws in Europe, and we average just 35 gun murders a year.

Japan, which has the toughest gun control in the world, had just TWO in 2006 and averages fewer than 20 a year. In Australia, they’ve not had a mass shooting since stringent new laws were brought in after 35 people were murdered in the country’s worst-ever mass shooting in Tasmania in 1996. Fewer guns equals less gun murder. This is not a ‘pinko liberal’ hypothesis. It’s a simple fact.

In conclusion, I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me.

Although I love the country as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well, I would, as a concerned parent first – and latterly, of a one-year-old daughter who may attend an American elementary school like Sandy Hook in three years’ time – seriously consider deporting myself.

I altered it to be less a joke and make it American.

Trust me, for all the fun and jokes poked at, and all the criticism directed at Brit immigration officials at London’s airports, they’ve nothing on the KGB, the unfriendly and unhelpful people who work for Uncle Sam at LAX.

guns and a reported backlash against, while gun sales soar.

I wonder if you’re getting this news in the states also. Or is it simply for foreign audience?

The headline here was Gun Backlash Begins, and telling us that the backlash is gaining pace.  But, on the radio it has been reported that there has been a huge increase of guns and ammo bought in the fear that there will now be serious gun ownership restrictions in the form of much closer scrutiny of gun buyers.

Also noted that the Remington Co. would be sold off by current invester.  What the hell is wrong with these folks?  Seems like everyone is running scared and anxious to distance themselves from something they couldn’t control anyway.  I don’t see the news below as a backlash as I understand the word. I see a great number of frightened business executives trying to distance themselves from anything that goes bang.  A backlash to my way of thinking, would be a huge public demand and street protests by citizens other than the usual left wing whack jobs and opportunists who will protest anything.

Take a look.

Gun backlash begins: Tom Cruise cuts scene from Jack Reacher film, Quentin Tarantino’s Django premiere is delayed and financier pulls out of major gun firm

· Movie studio Paramount moving swiftly to review its promotional materials
· Jack Reacher isn’t the only Christmas movie laced with violence
· Tonight’s premiere of Django Unchained in Los Angeles also cancelled
· U.S. equity firm says it will sell its stake in the maker of the AR15 rifle
· Freedom Group claims to be the world’s maker of commercial firearms

By Daily Mail Reporter

A backlash against U.S. gun culture appears to have started in Hollywood and the business world in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre.
Scenes have reportedly been cut from the new Tom Cruise film Jack Reacher with movie studio Paramount moving swiftly to review its promotional materials before the picture’s release on Friday.

It follows gunman Adam Lanza killing of 26 people in cold blood, including 20 children 1st grade children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last Friday.

Paramount has decided to make several tweaks to the marketing materials for Jack Reacher, the gritty crime-action pic starring Cruise as a hard-boiled former military cop trying to prove that an alleged sniper was framed.

The studio wouldn’t officially say what the changes are, but a source told The Hollywood Reporter that a scene of Cruise’s character firing off a semi-automatic weapon is being cut from promotional spots.

Jack Reacher, rated PG-13 and opening with sniper fire, isn’t the only Christmas movie laced with violence.

Django Unchained, opening Christmas Day, is directed by Quentin Tarantino, known for his over-the-top violence. The R-rated Django stars Jamie Foxx as a slave promised his freedom if he helps a bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz track down a plantation owner played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Yesterday, The Weinstein Co announced it was cancelling tonight’s Django premiere in Los Angeles because of the school tragedy.

Stores including Walmart have stopped selling the Bushmaster rifle.

Dick’s Sporting Goods is pulling certain semi-automatic rifles from its shelves.

At a junket for Django on Saturday in New York, Tarantino said he is weary of defending the violence in his movies.
‘I just think there’s violence in the world. Tragedies happen,’ the filmmaker said. ‘[Django} is a Western. Give me a break.’

In scrubbing the Django premiere, The Weinstein Co. was following the cue of Paramount, which postponed Saturday’s planned Jack Reacher premiere in Pittsburgh until Wednesday.

It was also revealed the business world has reacted to the massacre with U.S. private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management saying it will sell its stake in the maker of the AR15 rifle, the weapon used in the Newtown school shootings.

Cerberus Capital Management’s move came after pressure from one of its own biggest investors, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (Calstrs).
Cerberus bought Bushmaster in 2006, and more gunmakers since, merging them into Freedom Group, which it will now sell.

The firm said it wanted to avoid being drawn into the gun control controversy.
Dick’s Sporting Goods, one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the world, has removed all guns from its store nearest to Newtown, Connecticut, and is suspending the sale of certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles from its chains nationwide.

Lanza reportedly tried to buy a gun from a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in the city of Danbury, about 12 miles away from Newtown, prior to the killings.
The company said the reports hadn’t been confirmed but it was suspending the sale of so-called ‘modern sporting rifles’ out of respect for the victims and families of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Meanwhile, Walmart has taken the assault-rifle model Lanza used to gun down his victims off its online store

post tragedy in ct., here’s a lesson on civilization from this side of the pond

This is yet another ‘mild’ example of the letters to the press published every day.
This one under the title:

When will US see sense on guns?
It is almost 220 years since the Second Amendment to the American Constitution gave their citizens the right to bear arms – will it be another 220 until they realize it was a mistake?  In 1791 guns were almost as dangerous to the user as the intended victim. Unfortunately this is now not the case.  Obama is a master of mock sincerity and will pontificate and do nothing.  How many more tragedies before sanity prevails?
David Pimblett
Horbury, Uk

Wish I had a way to forward the link to the story mentioned here, re. girl defends self and home. With a gun.

I am surrounded by the most uninformed American critics imaginable.  Sure, we aren’t above some honest criticism.  Yes, I do understand that these folks do NOT understand our culture, and so slam us at every opportunity.  It never occurs to them that for many American who do not own rifles and do not hunt, still feel safer with a gun in the home against the worst.  A good example of which was the 12 year old girl who shot and wounded an intruder just recently.  You may recall the story, posted here.

Kendra St. Clair, 12, said she was just doing what she had to when she shot a home intruder Wednesday in Durant, OK.

http://newsok.com/durant-girl-12-talks-about-shooting-home-intruder/article/3720428

It did NOT make the news on this side of the Atlantic. I got the story cos our RichK was alert and surfing.

And you will remember this one bit of civilization at work.

Bodybuilder ‘who beat girlfriend black and blue’ walks free from court when she fails to give evidence (because blundering CPS told her wrong time to appear)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224707/Bodybuilder-beat-girlfriend-black-blue-evades-justice-prosecutors-tell-wrong-time-evidence-court.html

How about this?

A murder by a criminal on bail is committed every ten days, and the real number could be even higher

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2221641/A-murder-criminal-bail-committed-days-total-number-higher-that.html

Yeah, that’s all very civilized okay. People who have been reading BMEWS and my posts over time, will know I have left out enough to cover a year. AT least.
From the failed ASBOS that street punks wore as a badge of honor, and for those new here from outside the UK, ASBO stands for; Anti Social Behavior Order.
The punishment is severe and cruel and frightening but ALWAYS maintains the civil and human rights of the thug in question.  Sure is scary.  Unpaid community work, which they sometimes do not even show up for.  I guess that’s one of their human rights.  Then there were curfews. Oh yeah. Poor things had to be in by like maybe 7pm and couldn’t go out to prey on the public again til 7 the next morning. Maybe it was 8. Doesn’t matter. Point is, it was all very civilized. 

And so fellow citizens I leave you with the words of our Bmews Poet Laureate, Rich K. With our thanks.

When Britain can support a civilized society of 316 million with as LITTLE gun violence as we have with no real Controls on everyday type guns THEN they can lecture us on the subject.Until then;FUCK OFF!
Posted by Rich K United States

Alright. Enough of that.  Let’s see what civilization has to offer in today’s news.

Running for his life: Gangsters on rival turf chased and killed an innocent 17-year-old student who was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’
· Kwame Ofosu-Asare was mistaken for a rival gang member

· Two teenagers ‘who showed no remorse’ stabbed him fourteen times
· Idiabeta jailed for 19 years and Okusanya for 20 years today
· Idiabeta was in youth court on day of attack for breaching bail conditions
· Okusanya told police: ‘Everyone gets stabbed, everyone goes to jail, that’s how life is’

By Larisa Brown

Gangsters chased and killed an innocent 17-year-old student after mistaking him for a rival gang member.
CCTV footage shows victim Kwame Ofosu-Asare who was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’ running away from Nelson Idiabeta, then 17, and Nathaniel Okusanya, then 18.
Moments after the teenagers were captured running after him and a friend, Kwame was stabbed 14 times in the back in a ‘cowardly and merciless’ murder.
The 17-year-old was mistaken for a rival in a ‘poisonous and senseless’ gang war, a court heard today as Idiabeta and Okusanya were jailed for life.

everyone wants ta get into the act (with apologies to the great Durante)

Not surprisingly, most of the Brit press (that I’ve read so far) in editorials like the one below, urge America to do something about gun control.
As if it’s any of their freeking business.

I’ve also read comments about how uncivilized we (Americans) are, totally ignoring the heinous crimes that happen here on a daily basis.
Look up Baby P in Google if you want a good example of uncivilized. How soon they forget.

Well anyway, I think BMEWS should see this.

This was the lead editorial today in The Telegraph.  And it’s pretty mild stuff considering what issues from the left.

America’s gun culture will outlast this tragedy

The murder of 20 schoolchildren by Adam Lanza is a horrific reminder of the way in which the easy access to firearms in America can maximise one man’s potential for evil. Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass shootings, and in the vast majority of cases the weapons were acquired legally. After the tragic events in Newtown, there is a growing sense that something has to change.

Sadly, there is a gulf between what is morally right and what is politically feasible. In the past, President Obama has stated that semi-automatic weapons of the variety used at Newtown belong in the hands of soldiers rather than citizens, and also that it should be much harder for people with a history of mental illness to own guns: many multiple person shootings are carried out by people suffering from paranoia or depression, who often show signs of illness prior to their actions.

Yet despite his promise of “meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this”, the president’s record of inaction reflects how reluctant American politicians are to act on such a contentious issue. Gun ownership is constitutionally protected, and a powerful lobby exists to protect that right. During the 2012 election cycle, the wealthy National Rifle Association outspent pro-gun-control groups by 10 to one. Given that President Obama is locked in tortuous budget negotiations with Congressional Republicans, it would be an act of almost reckless courage to spend what little political capital he has testing the militancy of gun owners.

Crucially, opposition to gun control is not limited to ideological lobbies. For many ordinary Americans, gun ownership is synonymous with self-reliance, and they inhabit a culture in which hunting has both mythic and popular appeal. Any effort to curtail significantly access to guns would not only face legal objections but also risk an ugly political war between town and country. Furthermore, the extraordinary saturation of American homes with weapons would limit the impact of any effort to reduce over-the-counter sales. Even if Adam Lanza had been banned from owning any guns on the grounds of mental health (some investigators have described him as suffering from a personality disorder) he could just as easily have taken them from his mother’s private collection. Indeed, a number of her weapons are reported to have been used in the massacre.

In short, whatever steps are taken in the wake of this tragedy, guns will remain a central part of America’s culture, as will gun violence. That may appear baffling to European eyes, but it is not something that can or will be quickly or easily changed.

READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT.

It Is To Aspire

NEW YORK (AP) — The first section of the spire that will crown One World Trade Center has been hoisted atop the building.

It was lifted onto the 104-story building on Wednesday.

Nine of 18 giant steel pieces of the spire arrived at the site in New York City Tuesday via barge from Port Newark, N.J.

The arrival marked the end of a 1,500-nautical-mile journey that started in Canada on Nov. 16.

A plant outside Montreal produced the 18 pieces. The spire will make the tower the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

The remaining nine pieces of the 408-foot, $20 million spire are being trucked in from Canada and another plant in South Plainfield, N.J.

I’m pretty sure that would be the ARD Steel Works on New Market Road. I’ve driven through the place - it spans both sides of the road - a zillion times.

My only quibbles are a) why wasn’t all the spire made in the USA?, and b) what took you guys so damn long?

NEW YORK — The crowning spire of the World Trade Center’s tallest building arrived in New York on Tuesday — in giant steel pieces on a barge that floated in past the Statue of Liberty.

“It signifies that we’re back, we’re better than ever, and it shows the resilience of not just New York, but also people in general,” said Steven Plate, the director of post-9/11 construction at the lower Manhattan trade center. “The spire is a candle on the cake.”

He spoke aboard a boat that followed the barge tugged into New York Harbor from New Jersey’s Port Newark.

For these nine parts of the spire too heavy to be driven in, Tuesday marked the end of a journey that started in Canada on Nov. 16.

usa will recognize syrian rebels …. syrian rebels show middle finger to uncle sam

So here’s the headline and this will be fun.

US prepares to recognise Syrian opposition

The US is preparing to officially recognise the new Syrian opposition, amid reports the West is preparing to provide military training to rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad.

Officials say the administration is on track to recognise the new Syrian opposition council as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people at an international conference on the crisis in Morocco this week.

The move will pave the way for greater US support for those seeking to oust Mr Assad and follows the blacklisting of a militant Syrian rebel group with links to al-Qaeda. That step is aimed at blunting the influence of extremists amid fears that the regime may use or lose control of its stockpile of chemical weapons.

It comes amid claims that Western allies, including Britain, are examining plans that would see rebels provided with air and naval power.

TELEGRAPH, READ ALL HERE

I figure if you’re interest you will catch the link above. No need to post all of it here and no need for another pissed peiper rant on the subject.

Ok, same paper but a different headline.  You’ll love this one.  Have fun taxpayers. Oh right. Me too? Hmmm. Not so funny now.

Syrian rebels defy US and pledge allegiance to jihadi group

Rebel groups across Syria are defying the United States by pledging their allegiance to a group that Washington will designate today a terrorist organization for its alleged links to al-Qaeda.

By Ruth Sherlock, Beirut

A total of 29 opposition groups, including fighting “brigades” and civilian committees, have signed a petition calling for mass demonstrations in support of Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist group which the White House believes is an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

The petition is promoting the slogan “No to American intervention, for we are all Jabhat al-Nusra” and urges supporters to “raise the Jabhat al-Nusra flag” as a “thank you”.
