(Before It's News)
Chatsworth, IL -(AmmoLand.com)- I am finally back from my trip out west and I cannot say enough about the William Cody Firearms Museum and the City of Cody itself.
It took a second day to complete the firearm museum and even that was cursory. We stayed at a motel in the center of Cody and every morning a deer wandered into the parking lot and nibbled on the foliage until people started showing up. The deer really enjoyed the flowers, which was a little frustrating for the motel staff. Each morning, nearly every business put up an American flag, which stayed up until closing. There was no question of where the people of Cody stand. I’m heading back to Cody.
Like many of you, I am concerned about attempts to rewrite history by the Obama Administration and the liberal media. The perfect example is the shooter in the Orlando attack. The “Justice” Department has determined that we the people should not hear the 911 tapes, even though releasing them is required by law. It is best, they (the Government) say. The immediate question is best for whom? My guess, it is best for the Obama Administration. The news is the first reporting of history. Then, it is best that the government tamper with the reporting from the get go. If the government does it this way they don’t have to rewrite it later – convenient.
I have been concerned about if the administration has been telling the truth; I decided I needed help in figuring it out. I heard about a product known as the Acme Lyometer. Acme Super Duper Instrument Company is world renowned for its toughness and accuracy. For example, they are working on a sensor that can survive the surface of the sun. They are also working on another gadget that can go into deep space and operate perfectly for years in absolute zero.
When I tried to order their Lyometer they told me they had all been recalled. The Lyometer monitors radio, television and internet broadcasts, with purpose of detecting lies. When people started monitoring White House Press conferences and Congressional Hearings, the Lyometers began to overheat and catch fire. On several occasions, the Lyometers suffered from a phenomenon known as the “Whopper Pulse”. When this occurs, the Lyometer intercepts a lie so big that the device can’t handle it and has actually exploded, spreading shrapnel as far as 30 feet. Despite the company’s tremendous expertise, they cannot find natural or man-made materials that can stand the stress of the administration’s lies. I asked if they would have an improved model out before the November Elections. I was told “not a chance.”
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has released the 2014 data on firearms and crime. Despite what you might hear, homicides are down from the 1991 figures. The year, 1991, is used as the base line because that is when accurate data began being recorded. The 2014 figures are just out because it takes 18 months to compile the data from the various sources. In short, the homicide rate is 43% of what it was in 1991, even though the population of people in the United States has increased substantially, since 1991. Meanwhile, the number of firearms that are owned is up. In fact, 41% of the homes now claim to have at least one firearm present. The same percentage applied to the population would equal 131,000,000 people.
One final note: Walter Rauch, a long time firearms instructor, author and former U. S. Secret Service Special Agent passed away. I knew Walter, although not well. He was influential in modern training methods and was a big supporter of the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA). Walter will be missed.
