I’ve been hearing mutterings of that from various sources. Now, I guess it’s sort of confirmed as a possibility. It’s a bit convoluted because of trusts and corporations and such. Also, because it’s discretionary, it’s abused like we’ve come to expect most discretionary gun laws to be.
$56B later, airport security is junk.
Also, in the mail, I got a copy of CATO’s Policy Analysis Abolish the Department of Homeland Security by David Rittgers. You can guess how it ends.
Florida lawmakers install panic button since folks with carry permits can carry at the capitol.
Russia’s Special Forces AK seen here.
And more ninjaed AKs here.
And now, a word from Mikhail Kalashnikov:
You do have to actually pay for fire and emergency services in some parts of the state. Otherwise, the fire department will show up and watch your house burn.
Specs, press info here.
I do wish S&W or Glock would come out with a single stack, compact 9mm.
Kevin doesn’t think much will happen.
prosecute the people responsible for this atrocious abuse of power.
No offense, Sean, but that’s an awful lot of work. I mean, you could just ask that question and respond with very.
Personally, I’m all for treating guns like cars.
Michael Silence has been laid off from the local newspaper. He’s posted a farewell address. I’ve known Michael for going on nine years now. He was instrumental in the local blogosphere’s creation and increase in popularity. He interviewed bloggers for the paper and, generally, promoted them often.
Thanks, Michael.
Here’s hoping he returns to blogging.
CSI misrepresents the FN P90. Though they are right sort of. You cannot get one type of ammo for it in the US.
Seen at Joe’s: You will “get it” from their peaceful protest or you will get it through more forceful means, but you will get it.
Apparently, bloggers don’t get journalist protection. Of course, I don’t think journalists should get any special protection. But, if they do, it should apply to everyone, which would make it not special.
You know, you make the claim that ATF was using their smuggling of guns into Mexico to make the case for stronger gun laws and people call you nuts. Except that, now, CBS is claiming that same thing:
Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.
Readers may recall that I used to work with sexual offenders, until I realized they were better off dead. So, I know a thing or two about them. Not an expert by any means and this was years ago. Child molesters are attracted to children. If you ask them, as I have, why they like kids, they will respond with things like pudgy cheeks, small bodies, large eyes, and other things characteristic of children. Not the child’s gender. Most of them had molested both genders. But not all. Most started with the same gender because they were convenient targets (i.e., mom not afraid to leave a boy alone with a male, but moms may not leave their daughter alone with one). That doesn’t make them gay. It also doesn’t make them straight. It makes them child molesters. I see the presumption that child molesters molesting same sex children means they’re gay enough in light of the recent school and sports scandals. The flip to David’s question there would be the presumption that straight people would be attracted to same sex children. But they’re not. If they’re normal.
A necessary skill for police. I agree that it is a necessary skill. I just wish the police would stop defaulting to shooting the dog.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership can’t seem to deal with the record gun sales in November.
They’re going through denial, then acceptance. More here.
One of the dumbest marketing ideas I’ve ever seen is Dr. Pepper 10. It’s a diet drink that is targeted to men and they have this marketing campaign featuring action movies, guns and car races. Here’s their commercial. Personally, I don’t drink diet anything because it tastes awful. But if I were to, I don’t think I’d be inclined to buy a supposedly manly diet drink.
That said, I’m with Aunt B. They should run this one. I’ve not stopped laughing.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
