HuffPo "Controlling" the Gun Debate

It's not fair to call gun control "gun control"...

Gun "Control" is an anachronism. Look at the exact wording of the Pew question: "What do you think is more important -- to protect the right of Americans to own guns, or to control gun ownership?" This question uses the language of the gun lobby (rights), not the language of those working for stronger gun laws (safety). And it pits a right versus simply "control" for its own sake



(Disclosure: my firm, Momentum Analysis, has done numerous projects for the bipartisan group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.)

Oh have you now.

I wager if you go back in time to when gun control was more popular, you will find poll questions such as "Do you support gun control laws or the ownership of evil killer assault weapons that kill puppies?"


What is funny is that the gun banners lose even in the comments at Huff Po.

Forward, the Light Brigade!

Half a league, half a league,
 Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
 Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
 Rode the six hundred.

2.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
 Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
 Rode the six hundred.

3.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
 Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
 Rode the six hundred.

4.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
 All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
 Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
 Not the six hundred.

5.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
 Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
 Left of six hundred.

6.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
 All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
 Noble six hundred.

The Charge of the Light Brigade

Black Sunday

My friend's band played this last night.

If you want something done right...

Do it your own damn self.

I got an idea.
Googled around to see if it had be done before.
Found it had been, but I wasn't really happy with what I found.
So I took my own stab at it.

Lets call this a first draft. I'd like to get some feed back.

I'm not sure if everything works and have some changes in mind.

Also I am publishing this on my blog to prove it is mine.  I you want to use it please ask (if you use it I want to know about it).


2nd draft.

3rd draft. To add in DayZ.

Changed
Been prepping… on this theme… since I... was six-teen.
To
Been prepping… MREs… And playing DayZ.

Another... head rolls slowly,
Taken by a... Kukri. (Coo-Cree)
If the violence... breaks the silence,
We'll be over… taken.

If they see… they'll eat me… and eat my… family.
The undead, hoards of Zed, they are fighting,
Guard the flanks contact front,
With Cold Steel and warm guns.
The undead, hoards of Zed, they are biting …

Jacketed lead… Shoot the head...
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey.
Two in the head… Kills the Zed…
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, bang, bang, bang, bang… bang-bang, bang-bang… bang-bang, bang-bang…
bang-bang, reload…

Window barricades are breakin',
Rally at the Wal-Mart.
Make your shots count… trigger… control,
We must conserve... ammo.

Been prepping… MREs… And playing DayZ.
Xbox Live, Run n' Gun I've been training.
On the flanks contact rear,
With Cold Steel and hot guns.
Walking dead, hoards of Zed, they're still moving …

Jacketed lead, Shoot the head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey.
Two in the head, Kills the Zed,
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, bang, bang, bang, bang… bang-bang, bang-bang… bang-bang, bang-bang…
