No, really. I had a professor in college who said one of his friends from graduate school in the same program went to a class on getting rid of his accent. The professor noted that his friend was now teaching at Yale and he was at UT. Maybe there’s something to it.
In HR822 discussions in the house, not a single member of congress used the Brady Campaign’s position to oppose the bill. Joe is right, they’re probably done.
The only anti-rights group to worry about now is Bloomberg and his cronies. I think Michael Bloomberg is the second biggest threat to civil liberties in this country.
In most scandals, one can usually grasp just what the motives behind the wrongdoers was. Tom Clancy once quoted the four motives for political defectors as “MICE” — Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. That applies pretty well to political corruption motives, too. But in this case, nothing seems to make any sense. Many, many pixels have died futile deaths in trying to find out just what the hell the people behind F&F were trying to achieve.
My theory is that it’s purpose was the “under the radar” gun control push. It’s the only thing that makes sense. A couple of years back, the editorial boards of newspapers were ALL MEXICO ALL THE TIME, stating that 90% of guns going to Mexico came from US gun shows or some such. And it was the NRA’s fault. It was, of course, a lie and refuted often. Someone needed it to be an issue to make a gun control push politically viable again.
The anti-gunners and editorial boards (but I repeat myself) couldn’t do it. They’ve been losing on nearly every gun issue for two decades. They needed something, any issue, to score a victory. Like the supposed ‘assault weapons’ issue, they just invented one.
And if there’s an expert on mythology, it’s the Brady Campaign. A whole piece on guns flowing to Mexico and not one mention of a certain incident that facilitated some of that.
PDB brings the funny. When, basically, the cultural center of the world consists of people who don’t really pay attention to you, it can be tough.
The Best Belt by the folks who make some fine holsters. I have a belt made my Michael and it is sturdy, rugged, and solid. I recommend one.

Justin Amash said he’d support national concealed carry reciprocity when running. Now, he’s voting and advocating the other way.
For you twitterers, shame him.
Being underemployed, I’ve come to appreciate those of you who buy stuff through my Amazon.com links. So, thank you for putting some extra money in my bank account. Though I am curious which of you buys 5 Hour Energy by the case.
New Department of Interior rules won’t allow shooters to use federal land:
Officials say the administration is concerned about the potential clash between gun owners and encroaching urban populations who like to use same land for hiking and dog walking.
Anti-gunners used to claim they wanted to treat guns like cars. Well, now that there’s a bill before congress which makes your license valid in other states just like cars, they’re singing a different tune.
It was a blustery day in late October 2006 and Christopher Onseti, a New Jersey Transit police officer, was at a shooting range in Stafford Township. He was familiar with the range, and had already completed at least one firearm test there.
As he was preparing to shoot, a burst of wind tore a Q-shaped target from its wooden post. Onesti picked up a staple gun and tried to reattach the target — and what happened next could end up costing state taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Onesti, 27 at the time, accidentally fired a staple into the base of his left ring finger, records show. He put a Band Aid on the wound and successfully completed the tests. But after two operations Onesti says he still can’t do his job, and is now one of a record number of public employees across the state seeking an accidental disability pension for life.
Really?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
