More Indoctrination
That’s what Hillary says she brings and why she’s more qualified than Obama. So, she has five years more experience in the Senate. Where’s the rest of her experience? Oh, that’s right, married to the president. She’s counting that. By that rationale, Mrs. Uncle is an experienced financial professional. In fact, you should call her if you’re in need of a CFO. And I’m an experienced social worker!
The Second Amendment * says that states may enlist citizens for a trained militia [army] and provide and train them with weapons.
Well, at least they’re more clear than Saul Cornell.
Nothing to say about Crusader of the Year, Elliot Spitzer, getting pinched for patronizing prostitutes. Just wanted to use that title.
I wonder how many folks his office prosecuted for prostitution?
Update: And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, AC has the round up, complete with dutiful wife standing beside her man.
Update 2: Insty’s readers allege a game of Name That Party. But in comments at AC’s, SoBeale says:
You know he’s a Democrat because the sex scandal is hetero, not gay.
Heh.
Except, you know, the former governor of Spitzer’s neighbor state.
Scott Bach: Buy it yesterday, ban it today, get 10 years tomorrow.
If you think that’s bad, wait until their smart gun law goes into effect.
Its’ getting close. Lots of news regarding the bash.
First up, the NRA is offering Grassroots Workshop:
At this FREE Workshop, we will discuss how you can take on an even more active role in your community with our grassroots campaign and legislative efforts to advance and protect our cherished freedoms. We will provide you with the materials and strategies you will need to educate and empower your fellow gun owners as well. The Workshop will feature several guest speakers, including NRA officers and NRA-ILA staff.
Sign up information is here. I will be in attendance. And somebody you know lost the coin flip err will be speaking there.
Also, there will be a Happy Hour with Michael Bane at Bass Pro. Michael has a blog and is a writer and host for the Outdoor Channel; he also does online video at Down Range TV.
See you there.
Now, it reads like an anti-gun group. Bitter and Michale Bane talk about it.
Update: Maybe not.
Did you know Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership is not anti-gun?
First, Saul Cornell. Now, some guy named Nathan Kozuskanich proves he can’t read. I’d address it but everyone else already did.
Clayton Cramer takes it on here and here.
Sebastian questions the questioner whose questioning something that cannot be questioned.
A bill filed in the House would keep Kentuckians from posting anonymous comments to Web sites.
House Bill 775, filed Tuesday by Rep. Tim Couch, R-Hyden, would require anyone who contributes to a Web site to register a real name, address and e-mail address with that Web site. The person’s full name then would be used whenever he or she posted a comment.
Web site operators who violate the disclosure law would be fined $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense.
Here’s the bill. I found this interesting:
Couch readily acknowledged on Wednesday that his bill
violates his oath of officeraises First Amendment issues regarding free speech, so he won’t be pushing it. But he wanted to call attention to the phenomenon of unkind and often untrue comments about people being posted online by Kentuckians hiding behind the cloak of anonymity.
Oh Nos! They’re saying bad things about me on the internet. This bill should make them stop.
Tim Couch is an asshat.
Hmm, seems drawing attention to it didn’t work since I just called him an asshat.
Got a pair of Crocs Mammoth. They are awesome. Comfy and keep my feet toasty. Highly recommended.
At GBR2, Sebastian said of Joe Huffman: I’m glad he’s one of the good guys.
Things like this are why.
Jeff wonders why weapons that look like assault weapons seem to have gone up in price. Speculation is that, of course, it’s an election year. I think it’s less complex than that. Two factors: 1) one of the most popular rifles right now now is the AR-15. They’re trendy. 2) After the expiration of the ban on weapons that look like assault weapons, the market was flooded. Everyone ramped up and cranked out mags and things with bayonet lugs. Now, production is leveling off.
Supply meets demand.
Update: In comments, Blounttruth reminds me that stuff isn’t getting more expensive. Money’s just getting cheaper. Yeah, that too.
Another media outlets laments that there’s no push for gun control after the recent spate of shootings. Seems to be a trend.
A federal judge on Friday sentenced a former assistant prosecutor from northern Michigan to more than five years in prison for abusing his office to purchase for his personal use machine guns and silencers the public can’t buy.
Too bad he wasn’t a state trooper in Illinois.
The early start to getting my yard ready for Spring is why there’s been no bloggy. And I probably haven’t read your email yet.
Neat:
Update: Ya know, 1911ity just isn’t as cool as Glockity. Glock wins again!
What, they didn’t go with a .50?
Up next, VPC to crap pants over 338 Lapua Magnum.
New Battlestar Galactica starts April 4th!
Max and Igor (of Sepultura) are back with Cavalera Conspiracy. They have an album coming out on 3/25.
A few days ago, I noted that on a local radio show:
Throughout the whole bit (that I listened to, anyway), not one person called in in support of more gun control.
Today, that changed. Dave Foulk (who has a blog) was basically stating that, in light of recent events, that if people wanted to be armed for self-defense reasons they should be. Even at church. He noted how the recent school shooting in Israel and the Colorado shooting a bit back and how armed good guys stopped them. (note to Dave: there are several instances of that occurring).
And then, for the first time, someone who was anti-gun called in. A guy named Nathan. Nathan, taking his plays directly from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership play book, did everything we’ve come to expect from anti-gunners, including:
Calling us extremist, paranoid and delusional – Yes, our extremist position that is supported by the majority in this country. Our extremist position that had lead to 48 states passing concealed carry laws. And our extremist position that politicians pander to. Note that no one is seeking the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s endorsement. But they want NRA’s because gun owners vote.
He also said there were no cases of church shootings. The host should have asked him if even read the news.
He also pulled the classic of changing Foulk’s argument from if people wanted to be armed for self-defense reasons they should be to you want to arm everyone. It’s easy to address an argument no one’s making, I guess.
Several callers phoned in to say Nathan was wrong.
Then, David called. He started right into Ravenwood’s Law and used wild west metaphors, which we know are inaccurate in addition to being stupid. Then he went into conspiracies about Israel and how Arabic Sultans (his words) bought our media. Oy!
I love when the antis open their mouths. They do our work for us.
That’s not to say he wasn’t already pro-gun but now he’s becoming more active in gun rights.
I received an email earlier this week from Jay who was looking for info regarding gun ownership. Turns out, Jay plead to a non-violent crime in New Jersey in the 1990s. So, he was uncertain if he could buy or possess a firearm. He and I exchanged a few emails and resources. I contacted some people. And we’re still trying to find the answer. The laws in this case are so convoluted, it’s simply impossible to get a clear answer on whether or not his pleading makes him a prohibited person.
So, Jay has started a blog to document the process. His first post details the particulars. And, no, we still don’t have an answer.
And, by the way, a special thanks to all the people who exchanged emails with me on this issue. You know who you are.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
