But they’re A rated on gun laws

Thursday, November 8th, 2018

California’s ‘Reasonable Regulation’ of Guns Did Not Stop the Thousand Oaks Shooting Funny thing is, I was trying to google up the Brady Campaign’s score card, which listed California as A rated for years.

Stop touching it

Well, OK: S.C. congressman pulled a gun at a meeting about gun laws today, explaining “I’m not going to be a Gabby Giffords” Sure, the PSH from the Moms Demand crowd is overblown. But, dude, leave the gun where it is unless you need it.

You get a felony and you get a felony

New York gun owners had until this week to register their guns with the state police. 81,000 of them didn’t comply.

Then why do they call them silencers?

Hillary Clinton, while pushing for gun control: “I cannot come to Sanford without talking about Trayvon Martin,” she continued. “It’s heartbreaking that this young man all he did was go to a cornerstone, bought a pack of Skittles and walked back home in the rain. And his life was cut short.” I don’t think invoking […]

I’ve found this to be true

Tuesday, October 4th, 2016

Full size trucks are impervious to speeding tickets. I can concur. When I’m tooling about in the Ford Earthfuckertm during the day, I can do 20 miles over the limit right past a parked police officer and they don’t even look up.

Interstate Transportation of Firearms and Ammunition Bill

Sunday, January 18th, 2015

NRA reports: H.R. 131 would ensure the law has the effect Congress intended when it passed more than 25 years ago.

I mentioned a bit back my doubts about the story of the kid walking through Wal-Mart with an BB gun pointing it at people. Because, frankly, I thought it was odd that the BB gun was not in a box. And because when you buy guns at Wal-Mart, they tend to walk out of the […]
