Freeze, Or I'll Trim Your Bangs!

The Department of Homeland Security is obviously very concerned about public safety. This week, the DHS released a video entitled "Options For Consideration", meant to instruct the public on how to survive and even fight back during an active shooter situation.  It's quite remarkable.....

Let's take a closer look at this video's message....

"In most cases, there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims"

This of course is patently false.  There is an easily discernible pattern to active shooter situations....they almost always occur in areas where responsible citizens are prohibited from carrying defensive firearms, ie "Gun-Free Zones".  I prefer the more accurate "Target-Rich Environments".

"you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available"

As the narrator intones these words in his best "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" voice, the video shows someone reaching into their waistband to draw their defensive handgun....no wait, that's not right.  It actually shows the individual reaching into a desk drawer and pulling out........scissors.   Freeze scumbag, or I'll trim your bangs!  

"officers may arrive in teams, with tactical equipment such as vests, helmets, and rifles.

You know, all the stuff they don't want YOU to have to defend yourself.

Here's the kicker, on June 7 of last year, the DHS released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to purchase 7,000 "personal defense weapons suitable for close quarters".  After watching their video, I assumed the RFP was for a buttload of pinking shears.  Not exactly.  

What the DHS really wants is 7,000 select-fire rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO caliber, and capable of utilizing 30 round magazines.  Why, that sounds like the very weapons that the federal government doesn't want you and I to own.  There is one big difference..... the phrase "select-fire".  Select-fire rifles allow the operator to choose between semi-automatic function (like civilian AR-15s) and fully automatic fire.  Confused?  Read this.  OK, let's review...

Bushmaster AR-15....a weapon of war

• Black rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO, capable of utilizing 30 round magazines, but NOT capable of automatic fire are "weapons of war" and must be kept out of the people's hands according to Dear Leader, Dianne Feinstein, and the rest of their merry band of gun control moonbats.

Personal Defense Weapons, suitable
for close quarters

• Black rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO, capable of utilizing 30 round magazines, and that ARE capable of automatic fire are "personal defense weapons suitable for close quarters" according to Janet Napolitano and the DHS.  

We live in strange and dangerous times.

Lesbian Cabal At Homeland Security?

Two weeks ago in this space, I asked a simple rhetorical question......"Dude, Where's My Lesbian?".  Apparently the answer is the Department of Homeland Security.  Everyone's favorite self-described single, straight workaholic Janet Napolitano and a couple of her gal pals have had quite the party atmosphere over at DHS.

The head of the New York Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), James Hayes, has filed a lawsuit alleging "anti-male discrimination" and a "lewd working environment" at ICE.  Now Congress is getting into the act, with Rep. Mitch McCaul looking into the matter.  There's really nothing new here, just a couple more Democrats treating the federal government as their personal playground.  Word is that Secretary Napolitano is considering resigning over the incident involving her confidantes Suzanne Barr and Dora Schirro.

It all seemed like just another glimpse of the slimy underbelly of the Obama Aministration, until this morning.  Early this morning on the Fox News Channel's show Fox and Friends, Geraldo Rivera wondered aloud if there was some sort of "lesbian cabal" running Homeland Security.  Of course that has thrown the LGBT community into a tizzy, apparently they have taken some time away from shooting up conservative think tanks to roundly criticize Rivera.  I for one want to thank Geraldo for introducing my new favorite phrase into the lexicon.  Seriously, just try to say "lesbian cabal" without smiling, I dare you.
