Designed to punish you for being a gun owner.

Stuff to do. Maybe later. If you’re good.

Barack Iko! Iko! an de’ Obama’s crack team of cybernauts will not have you poking fun of their messiah!

But the DOJ is giving Jersey $250K to develop one, which would make other guns in NJ illegal.

10 AKs worth $7K? I doubt it.

Assault defines an act, not a weapon.

Mr. C. has some details about shipping guns so you can bypass weight limits on your flights.

Larry has some for sale.

On Tuesday, while driving through a part of Arkansas where the only radio choices are literally God and Country, I had a thought. I was commenting on how “new country” always tends to sound an awful lot like the pop/rock of two decades earlier, and how by that standard, we should start hearing “angst country” in a few years.

My wife, not known for zingers, said:

“If Obama wins, probably a lot sooner.”

Heh. That’s funny, I don’t care who you are.

Sarah Palin is not a real woman.

Junior likes to check the mail. And she likes to get the various packages we have delivered. Last night, the Mrs. notices a package on the front porch. And she tells Junior that there’s a package on the front porch. She excitedly runs to get the package. After a few minutes outside, she starts calling for mom. The Mrs. didn’t realize that it was 250 rounds of ammo that Junior couldn’t lift, but it wasn’t for lack of trying.

Hamblen County:

Hamblen County commissioners approved strict limits on shooting ranges Monday and may make them even stricter, particularly for outdoor ranges.

“I’d like to do away with outdoor ranges completely,” said Herbert Harville, chair of the County Commission’s Public Service Committee.

[nonsense about canned hunts two counties away omitted because it’s irrelevant]

The regulations coming from the County Planning Commission would have allowed outdoor ranges on any property zoned A-1 or agricultural but indoor ranges only in commercial zones. That just didn’t make sense, Commissioner Paul LeBel said.

That’s how long it’s been since the attacks on the US. I’m not going to wax poetic about the event but going to point out something that gave me pause. On the news this morning, there was coverage of a memorial by US troops in Afghanistan. What struck me was that some of those guys were 11 years old when the attacks occurred. Wow.

Marko takes issue with a crappy song:

Which right is that–the right to be free? That’s not “given” to us by anyone, that’s our inherent inalienable right as humans, as noted by the Founding Fathers. This is questionable Constitutional scholarship. Our armed citizen soldiers may defend our freedom, but they’re not the source of it.

He’s probably also not a geologist or poker player.

Your government at work:

Retired Glenwood Springs car dealer John Haines’ hope of donating a giant chunk of snow -white marble to the federal government to replace the cracked Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery is stalled again.

Haines’ hoped-for donation, which has sat outside the Yule Quarry near Marble since it was cut for the tomb in 2003, didn’t even rate a mention in a 34-page Department of the Army report to Congress this week on replacement and repair options for the deteriorating tomb.

Haines’ donation creates problems for the federal government because it is free and has not gone through a pricey bidding and specification process. A quarry in Vermont has expressed interest in submitting a bid.

Aunt B.:

I’m going to close just on a note to Conservative Christian folks. A day is coming, and it is coming soon, when you will have to face that continuing to align yourselves with the Republicans will mean the ruination of evangelical Christianity. You cannot tie religion and politics so closely without religion being corrupted.

Well, thus far, it seems to be the other way around.

A common theme here has been Why won’t these dumb, cousin-humping rednecks vote for Obama? Looks like he’s given up trying:

Barack Obama is pulling out of Georgia to concentrate on states he can actually win.

And in Tennessee, our governor tells Obama not to bother:

With two months to go, there is no reason for Barack Obama to set foot in Tennessee, a state where he is down by double digits.

NRA notes Barack Well, I think if you’ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that’s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush Obama’s votes to ban guns:

In 2003 while serving in the Illinois State Legislature, Obama voted in favor of a bill in the Judiciary Committee that would have made it illegal to “knowingly manufacture, deliver or possess” a so-called “semi-automatic assault weapons.” Under this bill, a firearm did not actually have to be semi-automatic to be banned. According to definitions in the bill, all single-shot and double-barreled shotguns 28-gauge or larger, and many semi-automatic shotguns of the same size, would be banned as “assault weapons.” This definition would have banned a large percentage of the shotguns used for hunting, target shooting and self-defense in the United States. The bill also would have banned hundreds of models of rifles and handguns.

Obama’s response is to relax, he doesn’t have the votes.

Rich:

I know more about the Palin family’s personal life than I do about Sarah Palin’s politics.

Anyone can walk into a store and buy a hammer. No questions asked and without a background check.

Odd that the police chief is chastising bystanders for not intervening even though he seems content to deprive those same bystanders of the best means available for said intervention.

Apparently, even if they mess up, all sales are final.

McCain asked Ron Paul for an endorsement. He said no.

Biden can pull some real boners:

Biden slipped a bit during the introductions, through no fault of his own. In introducing local elected officials, from Ninth District Congressional candidate Judy Baker to former Gov. Roger Wilson, Biden tried to give a special recognition to Sen. Chuck Graham of Columbia.

“Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” Biden says. He was a bit chagrined when he realized that Graham uses a wheelchair.

Today’s idiots are the Phillipsburg School District for this particularly dangerous case of teh st00pid:

About 50 teachers at a New Jersey school experienced a terrifying moment when a shooting rampage turned out to be a drill, but the teachers didn’t know it.

Wow.

Unsurprisingly, he’s pretty ignorant of them, actually. From his sportsmen issue paper:

As a long-time resident and elected official of Chicago, Barack Obama has seen the impact of fully automatic weapons in the hands of criminals. Thus, Senator Obama supports making permanent the expired federal Assault Weapon Ban. These weapons, such as AK-47s, belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets. These are also not weapons that are used by hunters and sportsmen.

Of course, the assault weapons ban had nothing to do with regulating fully automatic weapons, which have been regulated since 1934 and transfers to the public have been banned since 1986.
