In Kenya

Armed man saved 100 lives at mall shooting.

Odd that there was a mass shooting there given their existing restrictive gun laws are what Obama is pushing for.

In Illinois

Despite what you read on the internet, don’t go carrying a gun just yet.

Legal defense tip

If you ever use an AR-15 in self defense, news you can use.

ATF: Also incompetent

An OIG audit of their bungling of a an FFL revocation case concluded: “that the New Orleans Field Division did not comply with ATF’s administrative action policy in the Guns & Ammo case and did not follow instructions it received from ATF headquarters…(and) also found that this case highlighted the problems that can result from the delays in ATF’s inspection process”

In Cali

Gun control not only targeting guns and gun owners, but recreation.

Who do you call when you can’t call the cops?

A lawyer

Gun salesman of the year

Heh

ATF: Struggling for relevance

Seems they were left out of the loop and the FBI traced the Navy Yard shooter’s gun without them. So, any federal agency can track guns to their owners. That database we’re not supposed to have.

Also, the bit about ATF struggling for relevance made me laugh. Good.

At the Navy Yard shooting

SWAT was told to stand down. But it’s gun owners’ fault.

9mm v. .45

9mm wins. Again.

Tar and feathers

Students suspended for playing with Airsoft guns on private property.

Nice reference

Mass shooting averted?

I don’t think so. The news article looks pretty contrived.

So, we should load up our AR-15s and head to Staples?

Anti-gunners new corporate carry policy target is Staples.

Something to prove

I’ve proven it, let me tell you about it

I don’t have to prove shit

I got something else to prove

What were we talking about?

Never cared for Tool since Undertow

But this rocks:

Ban the children

For the children. Hey, I’ve said that before.

No, my resolve is still here

It’s just that I think the president is an idiot on this issue. And will work to defeat him.

Good policy

Follow the law, keep your mouth shut.

But that’s not the narrative

NPR: The U.S. Has More Guns, But Russia Has More Murders

Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough

Also known as magical thinking.

The anti-gun lobby is learning that they need things like facts and legislative power. Not thoughts and prayers.

NRA breaks radio silence

After a shooting, they tend to go quiet. Probably for the best since they seem to take that time to get their facts straight, unlike the press.

LaPierre takes it to the news programs.

Is gun control dead?

No, it’s only mostly dead. But, soon, those against gun rights will be on the ash heap of history.

Jokes about commies and toilet paper

Venezuelan government takes over toilet paper factory because of scarcity. It’s what commies do.

One gun, two cylinders

I’ve shot that gun (I think). If it doesn’t kill whatever you shoot it at, it will set it on fire.

Haven’t read that in years

NJT has a book report on Elric of Melniboné. Been a while since I’ve read that and I read it a few times. The that struck thing to me about the series is that Elric is the exact opposite of Conan the Barbarian and other hero fiction.

Elric is a king. Conan becomes one.

Elric is weak. Conan is strong.

Conan hates magic. Elric uses it.

Conan gets every thing he wants. Elric loses it all.

I may need to go find my copy. Looks like it may be a movie soon.

And I have a sad because Michael Moorcock types in all caps on the internet.

But 90% support gun control

That’s what they tell us. But it turns out, a day after the Navy Yard Shooting, gun control support dropped to it’s lowest level in a year.

Beholder

Yesterday, we were having some friends over for college football and some smoking hot butt and awesomesauce. My wife gets out of the shower and she’s doing that thing she always does wherein she’s got a towel on her head, in her underwear and looking at all of her clothes. Shaking her head, then pacing. Then looking at her clothes. Shaking her head, then pacing. This goes on for a while, as it usually does. I’m watching. She says “I hate that all of my friends wear dresses”. I say “just put on that pair of jeans and wear a UT T-shirt”. It’s what I’d rather see her in. But she finally decided on a dress. Go figure. She’s a woman and she dresses for other women. Not me. She also doesn’t pick her hairstyle for me, I’m sure. But for other women. And if your wife hits the gym every day, she’s probably also not doing that for you either.

Style, body type, clothing choices, shoes and other things are chosen for other women. These things also tend to determine beauty. So, I don’t necessarily think that It Is Men Who Determine What Is Beautiful in Women. After all, women have a lot of input with other women on what they do in the name of beauty. And, what I find beautiful in a woman may not be what you find beautiful. Eye of the beholder and all. So, women of all different shapes and sizes are beautiful. I don’t, for instance, find all the women on those posters she listed beautiful. For instance, in the second pic, we’ll go left to right and top to bottom and give them a number. I think the hot ones are 1, 3, 4, and 8. Just my preference. You may differ. And they have different body types. And are dressing for women. Or fashion designers.

So, bottom line, I decide what I think is beautiful. And you do too.

Also, Tam wins the internet.

we are winning this particular culture war – and that they are not helping

But tarring and feathering may be too much. And, if I saw someone walking into the local grocer with an AR-15 in hand, I’d leave quickly.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
