Wanna see what gets you arrested in a REAL tyrannical regime?
These are Iranians dancing to Pharrell William's Happy. The dancers were released, but the director is still being held as of now.
Tyrannical regimes arrest people who hike into their territory. There were even rumours that the Albanians shot machineguns at wind surfers who strayed too close to their territory.
Just think of what would happen to someone who criticises the regime (or would be really stupid and advocate overthrowing it). And if you walked around carrying weapons (although some of these countries that is acceptable behaviour--after all, they will gas you or wipe your asses off the map with more firepower than your puny weapon is capable).
Think about that the next time you decide to call the US repressive.
Repressive--you haven't fucking seen repressive.

Experts v. College dropouts--Guess who wins!
Yes, the college dropouts!
It seems that anti-intellectualism and dumbing down are alive and well in the US as my previous post on this topic pointed out, but it is REALLY bad at how DUMB people can be as the Vanity Fair Editorial The Creeping Danger of Conspiracy Theorists points out:

But some of the latest polling data does seem to show that at least 30 percent of American citizens—and maybe lots more—are as dumb as a bag of inbred hammers.Yes, you can find out how dumb and hoodwinked you are if you are able to actually read (and understand) the editorial.
The poll in question is a delightful one put out this week by Public Policy Polling, a concern ranked by Fordham University as the best out of 28 organizations for the accuracy of its national pre-election estimates in 2012. This time, the folks at P.P.P. decided to have a bit of fun, and rather than polling about which political party is up or down, opted to ask Americans about their beliefs in conspiracy theories. I can just imagine the laughter at the P.P.P. offices when they started putting together the questions.
As the editorial ends:
Yes, we have become scientific and political illiterates, and no nation can survive on a bedrock of such delusional stupidity. Of course, the 26 percent (or more) won’t believe me, if they manage to read this. I’ll just be deemed an “elitist” for daring to suggest that demon science and data, rather than ridiculous conspiracy theories, should be used to judge reality. So, it may be a losing battle, but we should all try. I don’t want to be forced, someday, to stand by as the rest of the world renames our nation “America the Ignorant.”I couldn't agree more.
Is the pro-gun position really pro-gun

On the other hand, we have open carry morons doing what you do best, but in this case they are far more effective at turning people off than you are. It's even better if you implode on yourself with your craziness and leave everybody else alone.
First Starbucks and Now Chipotle – Are These Actually Pro-Gun People or Just People Hired to Act Like it?
Part of me wants to produce a truly sarcastic piece about how true this piece was, but after having dealt with your kind for nearly 20 years now--I know you would be dim enough to miss it was sarcasm. Which is too bad since I came up with a really funny piece, which would have been funnier since I'm sure all the gun blogs would be clogged up with verification that someone who is "paid by Brady" (funny, but I think I write the groups cheques and am a supporter, not an employee; however, that may be too fine a distinction for your small minds).On the other hand, we have open carry morons doing what you do best, but in this case they are far more effective at turning people off than you are.

Safe Storage - Where to Keep Your Guns
Make no mistake, stashing guns around your house is serious business–the safety of others is at stake so there is no room for error. For this reason, an honest and informed (and even professional) assessment of your living space and conditions is crucial. Where as a couple living alone in the woods with few visitors may get away with storing their frequently carried 1911 in an old boot in their shoe closet, a family of five has a lot more to consider.
The Down
The first decision is between long and short term storage while the paradox here is between security and access. A corollary consideration is who are you really hiding your guns from: Kids? Thieves? Jackboots?
The decision and method you chose to hide your handgun will fall somewhere between the extremes of concealed carrying your gun at all times and burying your handgun as a super long-term survival strategy. When making this decision, more than ever, terrain and circumstances dictate tactics.
Short term solutions are ideal for every-day-carriers. Storage styles fall on a spectrum between two categories, “go-to guns” (primary weapons that can/will be accessed at a moments notice) and “backup guns” (guns that are better hidden and harder to access, but may hold some specific strategic value). These back-up guns toe into the arena of long term solutions which apply more to BBQ guns and survival treasures (more on these in future installments).
The Dirty
When children are a part of the equation, look for high spaces and unfrequented (not “forbidden”) places–on the top shelf of Dad’s closet of mystery may not your best option (but then again, depending on your brood, it might). Also realize that education is the only real long term solution to keeping your children safe around guns.
When it comes to hiding your handgun, custom solutions are often the best (and most satisfying) solutions.
Inevitably, someone is going to call out this article for divulging tactics and they will be right–adopting what is readily known is at odds with the philosophy you’ll need to abide by when keeping your handgun out of sight. Take the information here as inspiration and seek out creative and adaptive solutions on your own for full effect (custom solutions are often the best solutions).
The best place for your handgun may be on your person and in a gun safe at all other times.
Farago once said, the ONLY place for your gun is on your person or in a gun safe.

"Over the years, I have had many colleagues tell me that they would like to support my bills but are terrified to do so because the NRA would end their legislative careers in the next election," said McCarthy, a New York Democrat, in a phone interview. "To overcome this logjam, Congress must become more afraid of the moms than the NRA."
