Then gun rights would be treated like other rights?

For Halloween, the grandparents gave the kids some nice little holiday cards. And they put some money in them.

For my birthday Friday, the kids made a me a couple of cards. It’s always fun to hear their explanations for why they put a certain sticker or doodle on the card. And they always make me smile. A bit after giving me the cards they made, Junior comes walking up to me later with her hands behind her back. She pulls out something from behind her back and hands it to me. It’s the card that the grandparents gave her. Except that she’s scratched out her name and wrote my name there, addressing it to me. And in the card is the $20 she got from the grandparents, which she said that it was the best present ever. I had to agree. She gave me what was the most important thing to her that day. I kinda teared up a little.

I told her I had my eye on a new DS game so maybe she could go with me and we’d spend my money on that. She said it was a good idea then gave me a coupon for a free ice cream, another gift she values immensely.

Later, me and the wife had a good laugh about it, she pointed out that the grandparents only gave the kids $10 each. So Junior had taken her brothers money and given it to me too.

Still, it’s the thought that counts.

The Paper of Making Up The Record laments the sorry state of gun control. They’re upset that, by law, there’s no database of gun owners. And they blame congress’ obstructionism for that and that there’s no ATF director.

Mexican Drug Cartels apparently getting active in Tennessee. More here.

It’s illegal to take guns to a school:

A small number of Fairfax County students said they had brought a handgun to school in the past year, according to a survey co-sponsored by the county government and the school board.

Troops in Afghanistan prepare for Zombie Apocalypse

These guys would be proud.

In Maine:

A Bangor police officer says he wasn’t allowed to cast his ballot when an election warden refused to let him vote while wearing his service revolver.

You know, I hate when those annoying Jehova’s Witnesses knock on my door too. But don’t point a gun at them. Turning the sprinklers on is much better and less likely to get you arrested.

Donated by hunters.

Heh

Most anti-gun money comes from one or two sources. So, this isn’t a shock.

Some signs from the Stewart/Colbert rally. Doesn’t look like all of them followed the don’t be crazy rules. But some of those are funny. My favorite is 67.

And this weekend, I caught the Jon Stewart interview with Obama. Good to see Obama is still blaming Bush. Funny to see that people are still buying it. Stewart’s questions were mostly about what leftist pipe dream Obama hadn’t accomplished (like why the healthcare bill wasn’t, basically, socialized medicine). That is, asking why we’re not further left yet and how that is disappointing. Not that I expected Stewart to ask any questions with a right-leaning slant but a few moderate ones would have been good.

Looked like Obama’s last attempt to rally the youth vote prior to the elections.

Circular firing squad is circular.

Get a grip. Or two.

Size matters

Or maybe not.

Go scare some kids.

Social security isn’t.

One right requires ID and a background check. And some want to ban it while doing the other.

Ultimate zombie gun

I wasn’t aware that was an issue.

How different ages celebrate.

An update. Seems that the site is an aggregator for training sites. And Phoenix would be cool if they advertised specific trainers.

What are you gonna do about it? And it’s my birthday.

Josh Sugarmann, who must be the most regular man on Earth, is crapping his pants over the Bushmaster ACR. Saying see, they are too machine guns. Or something.

Call it that. People like to pretty up the names, I guess.

65% say they’d replace all of congress. I the number of incumbents unseated comes no where close.

Some things are bad. Like really earth-shattering bad. You know, like Nazis, genocide, commies. Those sorts of things. Some things are bad. But they just kind of suck. And you probably shouldn’t compare things that just kinda suck to really earth-shatteringly bad things. Like comparing bullying to genocide. It’s not in the same league or even the same fucking sport.

Speaking of bullying, some friends of ours are upset that, at school, ten year old boys call other ten year old boys names. One kid calls their son ‘gay’ and the parents are actually thinking of calling the police. Really? I think back to when I was ten and that was probably the least offensive thing we called each other.

A couple of zombie related TeeVee shows coming out. I’ve set DVR to stun. Hopefully, they’ll get back to zombie basics. More on the zombie genre here, calling for more violence.

I told the wife that Zombieland was hysterical. But she could not make it past the opener due to the blood.
