So, since Hillsy won the popular vote, Barack Wonder Twin Powers Activate Obama will step down, right? Just like 2000? No?

Various Democrats endorse guy who will win the Democrat Nomination.

Whew. That was a nail-biter.

Harris Interactive:

In anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court decision concerning the Second Amendment expected at some point this month, The Harris Poll® finds that by a margin of over two to one, more U.S. adults believe that the Second Amendment supports an individual’s right to bear arms. Furthermore, the survey also finds that more of the U.S. public continues to favor stricter gun control. However, concerning the impact on the election, the public seems to be split on which presidential candidate would do a better job handling gun control.

Actually, reading the poll, it’s more than 2:1. It’s more like 3.5:1 due to those who say both. Poll seems a bit misleading, though.

Most favor more gun control? If most equals 49%. Also, most probably don’t know what our current gun laws are. And I wonder if you asked them specifically about DC’s ban on self defense and possession of a functional firearm how that would have differed.

Now, feel free to yammer on about how the second amendment doesn’t give anything.

And the public doesn’t believe Hillsy or Barack Hubba Bubba Obama on guns: Conversely, Barack Obama receives a 42 percent to 30 percent negative rating as does Hillary Clinton with 40 percent to 30 percent;

Police Link notes that police officers in Oregon are angered that Barack One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater Obama’s camp used a police memorial to house porta potties.

Via reader Michael.

I keep hearing talk that Barack The Herculoids Obama is the winner. But I haven’t seen any news that Hillsy has conceded.

Also, everyone is looking for the Michelle Obama ‘whitey’ video. It is here.

Smuggle and AK from Iraq, get off light:

A Marine sergeant from El Paso, Texas, accused of bringing an AK-47 assault rifle home from Iraq as a war trophy accepted a plea deal Monday that will keep him out of federal prison.

Sgt. Leonardo San Juan agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of possession of an unregistered firearm and pay a $100 fine, said his attorney, Joseph Low.

San Juan accepted the deal shortly before jury selection was set to begin. A judge still must approve the deal.

San Juan was accused of bringing the AK-47 back with him more than two years ago from Iraq, according to a grand jury indictment filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego.

“If you believe the allegation, all it is is a war trophy,” Low said. “It’s not like he went out and committed a crime, shot it or had ammo in it.”

San Juan, 31, had faced up to three years in prison and a discharge from the Marine Corps. It is unclear whether the plea deal will effect his career.

Actually, possession of a machine gun that is not registered per NFA is a tax crime that could land you ten years in club fed and a cool quarter million in fines.

A gun violence summit in NY is called due to increased shootings.

Michael Bane notes that guns are hot:

As you may have noticed recently, firearms have become…well…hot. Look at the success of History Channel’s Extreme Marksman, Future Weapons on Discovery or my own shows on Outdoor Channel. Other channels are actively shopping for “gun stuff;” BBC’s got a huge AK-47 dcoumentary in the hopper (as well as three competing AK books, Michael Hodges’ AK-47 The Story of a Gun; Larry Kahaner’s AK-47: The Weapon That Changed the Face of War (which received vicious reviews, BTW) and Mikhail Kalashnikov and Elena Joy’s Kalashnikov: The Gun That Changed the World.

Wasn’t the case in the 1990s. I wonder why? Perhaps it’s because men seem to be getting back to who they are and once again think it’s cool to watch shit go boom? We couldn’t do that back when Donahue was on.

Phelps:

So first we find out that liberals are less likely to give to charity than conservatives. Then we find out that conservatives have more sex. And are happier. And now we find out that liberals are less likely to be fundamentally honest?

What say you?

No matter how many errors you found in our work!

Packing in the land of silly-assed gun laws.

So, a woman takes her kid to his uncle’s house. Kid is unsupervised. Uncle leaves gun unattended. Kid finds gun and you know how that goes. After the incident, the Uncle takes the gun and runs. Turns out, he is a violent felon convicted of murder.

Naturally, this is all the gun’s fault.

One in three trauma patients where Great Britain used to be have been knifed.

Sebastian: Big city mayors are a gun rights activist best friend.

And why it’s not a good measure:

According to the same trace gun statistics that the Brady’s use to come up with their propaganda…you know, the statistics that the evil NRA is making sure can’t be released to the public through the Tiahrt Amendment…Delaware “imported” more of its traced guns from Maryland than than VA and North Carolina combined. Does that mean that MD’s gun laws are too lax?

Ya know, I yammer on about a lot of controversial topics here. But if you want to really piss people off, talk about martinis err bradfords sans vermouth plus olive.

Greg couldn’t help himself.

Heh: The moral of this story is, if you don’t like Martinis, then just call it a Vodka Rocks with olives and be done with it

ATF has told Nevada that possession of a handgun carry permit is not a substitute for a national instant background check. That’s pretty lame for a variety of reasons, one of these reasons being that handgun carry permit holders break the law less than non permit holders.

A judge has struck down two of Philly’s illegal gun laws. They let three stand because NRA lacks standing, which is legalese for I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you damn kids.

Rich:

I was watching the 11:00 news and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. On a night when Barack Obama claimed victory in the race for the nomination, they teased that story and went into their top story of the night, a UTPD bicycle officer doing a face plant that was caught on You Tube.

This is the lead story?

Well, in their defense, the nation is collectively over the Democrat primary.

Obama hates my grandfather.

Meanwhile, the RNC has an ad attacking Barack William Wallace Obama on guns.

Sportsmen for Obama.

Anyone still buying that changed his mind stuff?

Where Great Britain once was, having a big sausage is an affirmative defense to carrying a knife. In other news, you can’t just carry a knife there?

I know, I’ve had quite a bit of fun making up middle names for Barack Can You Hear Me Know Obama. And let me tell you, if he actually wins the elections, it’s going to be hard to come up with middle names for four or eight years. But I don’t think I’d have ever come up with Barack Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish Obama.

Been a while since I rapped at ya, but I’m in need of some shopping advice.

My friends and I store a number of guns in a house in upstate New York. They’re locked away, but we want to put them in a safe because the house is often empty for periods of time. Also, we often host weekend events that involve shooting. Participants are required to discuss gun storage with us, and if they can’t establish that they can secure their gun from drunken idiots all weekend (i.e. leaving it in a tent isn’t good enough), we want to be able to assure them we’ll lock it up tight.

We’re looking at the 18 or 22-gun capacity Centurion from Liberty Safes, largely because it was recommended by a gentleman at the sporting goods shop. Looking around, it’s clear this safe isn’t the fanciest box on the market. We deem it “good enough” to make any potential thief move along. The guns are literally the only things of value in the house, so we figure if the guns are safe, there’s no reason for a thief to stick around.

Anybody have any direct experience with such safes, made by Liberty or otherwise? Personal recommendations appreciated.

The AP calls it for Barack Soylent Green Obama.

Brady Shill Blog God Not Guns blog posts keep disappearing and reappearing (see here and here). At first, I thought it was nefarious intent. Now, I think it’s just general incompetence.

So, Greg tells you how he makes a martini. LawDog does the same.

Robb offers his $0.02. Heh.

To say I like my martinis dry is an understatement. My recipe is simple. And my friends will attest that this is the recipe I follow:

Put three olives (good ones, not cheap ones – all preference really) on a toothpick. Stick said toothpick into a cocktail glass.

In a cocktail mixer, add ice and vodka of choice (I go with Grey Goose). I use vodka because gin tastes like ass err Pine-Sol. Look at mixer and say the word vermouth. Shake. Pour into glass over olives.

There you go.

Tam, in light of a recent post here, tells us all about what makes a gun a gun in the eyes of the law.

Your communism’s showing.

In a free country, you decide what you can afford. But in Massachusetts, it’s a different story:

Nearly 100,000 Massachusetts taxpayers have been fined for failing to obtain health insurance, even as a major survey concludes the effort to create near-universal coverage in the state is meeting key goals.

Five percent of taxpayers failed to obtain health coverage last year, and more than half of those — about 97,000 — were forced to forfeit their personal exemption — worth $219 — after it was determined they could have afforded health care.

The state will force you get health insurance if you can afford it. Then the state will decide if you can afford it or not. And if you can and did not, you will be fined. See, they just up and passed a law mandating health insurance coverage:

The state’s first-in-the-nation universal health insurance law required everyone in the state to be insured by July 2007, except for those who secured a waiver proving they couldn’t afford insurance.

Wow.

The Daily Times:

Any police officer — who isn’t a scaredy-cat — is invited to participate in a “Police Shootout” Monday at Gunny’s Indoor Shooting Range, 2208 E. Broadway Ave., Maryville. Co-owner David Perry sent out a a flyer inviting all officers to find out “who’s the best.”

The flyer also includes a challenge from Maryville Police Capt. Mike “Mad Dog” Johnston, who claims other local departments quit competing in shooting competitions in the mid-1990s because they “got tired of being beat by Maryville” Police Department. There was a loss of interest because ”it really wasn’t that much of a competition,” he taunted.

“My challenge is to come compete and see if you can take away the bragging rights for a year,” Johnston said.

Gunny’s website is here. I may have to check it out.

So, it looks like the national nightmare is almost over. I’m referring to the epic battle of Hillary Clinton v. Barack Scooby Dooby Doo Obama.

Both initially agreed to not counting Michigan and Florida. Then, in the great tradition of Democrats fearing honest elections under the rules initially put in place, there was some threats of lawsuits. So, delegates from those two states are now half delegates. Insert joke about three-fifths compromise. Some say it means Hillary is going to steal this thing. This definitely takes a substantial advantage from Barack Itlan Obama. My question: why would Barack Punky Brewster Obama concede to such a decision? If he can’t stand up to the Democrat party’s psychotic ex-girlfriend, who can he stand up to?

Some say, it’s over for her because it is now mathematically impossible for a win. I dunno. I’m a CPA, a finance guy, and, well, you could say I’m pretty good at math. But have yet to figure out (mostly due to lack of interest) this whole delegate thing.

There’s some speculation that Clinton is going to concede. Which I doubt. After all, this election is hers. And it has been since the mid 1990s and no upstart will get in her way. To the end, it will go. So, sit back and enjoy the show. At least, it’s almost over. Barring another lawsuit, of course.
