April 25, 2009 – In eight more months, it will be time for hourly reruns of Ralphie’s life story, the 1983, A Christmas Story starring Darren McGavin, Melinda Dillon and that obnoxious little four-eyed kid, who Santa (rightfully) kicked down the slide, my neighbor, Peter Billingsley.

Although I never really could stand this movie, I liked the part where Ralphie stuck his tongue to the bridge (been there, done that), and of coarse, the Christmas dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the end of the film “’Tis the season to be jorry. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!”. But the real quest within the film, was by the little brat himself – the search for the Holy Grail: the official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle/BB gun. Yesiree Bob – the beaut-ee-full steel blue one.

The story is set in the late 1940’s or maybe early 50’s, back during an era, when kid might carry his old trusted .22 caliber long rifle, whether for show and tell or to pick off a squirrel for Ma for dinner. But like Ralphie’s Mother said, “BB guns are dangerous. You might shoot your eye out.”

As our “Deliverer,” B.O. would have been 22 years of age at the time this film was released, and it must have scared the crap out of him, when Ralphie – having finally gotten his wish, pulled the trigger, boinked his cheek, and broke his glasses. I’ll bet that he had dreams of his Momma screaming out, “Barry! Barry! Put that damned gun down before you shoot your eye out!” And since that day, the one known in certain circles as “Soetoro’ has been speaking out against those who own weapons of slef-defense. and now, right or wrong – he sits upon the throne in the White House.

If you are a non-believer, and believe that ‘the One’ is going to be your ‘Deliverer,’ you absolutely correct – He WILL deliver you – right to the brink of extinction as a nation. Although some polls claim that His popularity after the first 100 days is as high as ever – I suspect that those ‘polled’ were “high” on something.

Just one subject alone is worth covering in this rant – that of His record in favor of complete and total gun control – in other words – complete elimination of your right to Keep and Bear Arms.

As a long-time Life Member of the NRA (Not Relevant Anymore), and recent (renewed) Life Member of Gun Owners of America, I am fighting for the life of this nation, and am appalled at the lack of alarm by the millions of lawfull gun owners in this nation.

Witness the following recent articles and warnings by numerous individuals and organizations:

In your own defense, you need to learn the acronym for another dangerous government entity in Washington, the “DDTC.” You should REALLY read this article, since the DDTC is about to make all guns, shooting supplies and accessories more expensive or unavailable. Under the guise of implementing an international arms control treaty, the DDTC is fixing to make life VERY difficult for everyone in the U.S. gun culture, beginning with manufacturers of any shooting-related products.

Ammo Shortages Widespread …turn in those guns…second is dead and useless anyways…whatcha gonna do with all that ammo? Only the gov should have guns. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah however, after yesterday’s revelation, perhaps, If Montana want’s to be put on the map once more, some investment in ammo production within that state might not be a bad idea! …by the way “it” passed (HOUSE BILL NO. 246 Passes)

But we don’t have adamned thing to worry about – do we? Because all of those nasty “Representatives” and SINators” in CONgress, who want to get reelected, won’t dare take away my “official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle/BB gun.”

WANNA bet??? Remember, AKA has told all who would listen (and the rest of us, who won’t) that, “We won the election!” So what! Does that give him the right to facilitate these kind of “Changes”?

Not if my brothers and sisters have anything to say about it.

See you on Santa’s lap at Christmas… Ralphie is the new Head-Elf, having succumbed to Da Man!

As we reach the end of this road, I’ll see you at Sundown.

Are you angry enough yet?

Without Apology I am,
