"If they were already living together that's none of my business. " I'm glad to hear that. I should keep this for the next time you mention her. "When he was home?" Believe it or not, we've even watched Niner games together.

Gun Control Fail: Germany Has 4 Illegal Guns for Every Registered Firearm

BY LIZ SHELD
AUGUST 2, 2016

The anti-gun left likes to point to Europe as a successful example of gun-free living. However, new numbers published by the Daily Mail show that the number of illegal guns in Germany greatly outweighs the number of legal guns. What does this mean? It means what Second Amendment supporters have been saying all along: gun control disarms law abiding citizens and empowers the criminal class.

According to data from the German Firearms Register, there are almost 5.5 million guns in private ownership belonging to 1.4 million people.

But research by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in January estimated there are up to 20 million illegal firearms in Germany.

Just last month, a shooter in Munich, Germany used an unlicensed Glock 9mm to kill nine helpless, defenseless people.

Germany has very strict laws on firearm ownership. In order to own a firearm, one must be at least 18 years old and show a reason for owning the firearm. Applicants for a license under the age of 25 must undergo a psychiatric test. Fully automatic weapons are banned as are semi-automatic weapons unless they are used for hunting. Also on the banned list: pump-action shotguns with pistol grips, sawed-off shotguns, guns with night-vision equipment, and guns with lights attached.

Germany began its crackdown on guns back in 1928, when Hitler disarmed the German citizenry to prevent them from rebelling against Nazism.

This is the real reason for the Second Amendment. It's not about duck hunting or sport shooting, it's about the citizens' right to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.

Meanwhile, here in the USA concealed-carry permits are at an all-time high.

Newspeak Dictionary Update: Delete “Christian”

The purpose of Newspeak is to limit language by gradually restricting vocabulary, and thereby limit thought. This will allow Party Members to avoid the snares of thought crime. The next word to be struck from the Newspeak Dictionary will be “ Christian”:

Lois McGinnis and her family own Cedar Springs Christian Store. They recently decided to close a second location of the store so they decided to place an ad in the classified section of the newspaper, which is owned by Gannett.

In addition to the Knoxville News Sentinel, Gannett owns many other local papers (e.g., the Arizona Republic, the Des Moines Register, the Detroit Free Press), as well as USA Today.

The advertisement read: “Store closing sale – Cedar Springs Christian Store – Clinton Highway location – All merchandise, fixtures, slat walls must go. Sale through August 13, phone 865.947.XXX.”

But the ad failed to appear…

So Mrs. McGinnis phoned the newspaper and spoke with a classified ad employee.

“She said our ad did not run because it contained an offensive word,” she told me. “I asked what that offensive word was and she said the offensive word was ‘Christian.’”

She said the News Sentinel did not notify her in advance the ad had been rejected nor did they call to say they were refunding her money.

For once a tale of totalitarian moonbattery has a happy ending. Public outrage forced the News Sentinel to pretend that the ad did not appear due to a “system failure.” The ad was allowed to run “for an extended period at no extra charge.”

Maybe East Tennessee is not the best place to try to ban the word “Christian.”

All the same, it is clear that members of the Inner Party consider the word to be offensive. The last people still using it will be regarded with suspicion, so be proactive and strike “Christian” from your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary today.

Avoid thought crime; keep it up to date.
