Rep. Gannon calls for a vigilante uprising

MADISON – Today, Representative Bob Gannon released a statement saying, “Wisconsin does not have a death penalty law, but with significant practice and careful aim, law abiding citizens can help clean our society of these scum bags.” Rep. Chris Taylor (D-Madison) released the following statement:

“I am appalled by the dangerous rhetoric Representative Gannon chose to use in his press release. The incident at East Towne Mall was scary, but the answer is not to add more people with guns to the mix, and certainly not to call for private citizens to ‘shoot center mass.’ Representative Gannon is living in a James Bond dream world. If more guns made us safer, we would be the safest country in the world. We should be making guns like the one used at East Towne Mall more difficult to obtain for those who abuse the law.   

“Representative Gannon can keep repeating the same Fox talking points, but they are not grounded in fact. A recent Stanford study shows that right to carry laws are associated with significant increases in violent crime. The United States has a higher firearm homicide rate than any other developed country because of its broken gun safety laws.

“Representative Gannon should recognize that it is possible to keep our communities safe while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. The public overwhelmingly supports common-sense gun safety laws, like universal background checks and a ban on military-style assault weapons. As United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia so aptly noted in his majority opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller, ‘[i]t is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.’

“Representative Gannon also makes a dangerous and misguided call for guns to be available on our college campuses. Our campus administrators, law enforcement, faculty, and students don’t want weapons on campus, as campuses are generally safe places for students to learn. I for one am glad that Representative Gannon doesn’t shop at retailers where he can’t bring his gun – I think we’re all a little bit safer because of it.”

Van Can't Wait

By Jeff Simpson 

Homer Wanggaard wants a gun and he wants it NOW!

Van sat at home the last two years, while Wisconsin vastly under performed in creating jobs, but did create a bigger deficit than when Mr. Walker took over and the one pressing need that Van Wanggaard had when he was elected in his gerrymandered District?

Little Johnny AssaultRifle

By Jeff Simpson

At one point in our history, when we were building a nation, we had a folk tale, and songs sung of Johnny Appleseed:

With the help of Home Depot, we have a new folklore starting- Johnny Assaultrifle. 

On Saturday, May 31, over 150 open carry enthusiasts plan to convene at a Home Depot in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills, Texas.
The event has been billed by organizers Open Carry Tarrant County as “the largest open carry to date” in an area that has lately been a focal point for gun rights campaigners. Raffle prizes on offer include a black powder revolver and an AR 15 rifle.
Home Depot’s corporate communications director said the $80 billion (revenues) store chain has no plans to prevent the rally from taking place.

“Our feeling is that ultimately, the voters direct the laws on gun carry issues, so we defer to the prevailing ordinances in states and communities,” said Stephen Holmes. “Therefore, customers who are legally permitted to carry firearms are allowed to do so when entering our stores, provided the firearms are carried in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.”

If you were not able to strap your rifle on your back, grab your kids and attend one of these, allow us at CogDis to help bring you there:

Whats Funnier Than A Mass Shooting?

To the NRA and Governor Walker not to much! 

CAMERON GRAY, NRA NEWS PRODUCER: Governor, after you signed concealed carry in Wisconsin -- I was your first interview, it's good to talk to you again -- since then how has the Wild West been? How have the crazy shootouts been? How out of control are the shootings in Wisconsin? [laughter]

GOV. SCOTT WALKER: Well as you can imagine all the hysteria went just the opposite way. Actually, you know one of the most interesting things is when I go to deployments -- deployments of members of the National Guard from Wisconsin -- I get members of the National Guard that come up and thank me for that. And more often than not it's female members of the Guard who come up and thank me. And actually many times they pull out their concealed carrier card and ask me to sign it in person for them. But none of the hysteria, none of the bad things we heard talked about. Instead what we saw was law-abiding citizens having the ability to exercise the right to protect not only themselves but their family and property.

Of course except for the Sikh Temple Mass Shooting where 7 people died and others injured, but whats a mass shooting with National Attention amongst friends???

 We could also ask Bo Morrison if any of the bad things happened, but he is dead!
