That’s racist

PGP:

Couldn’t it be that some of us actually care about the affected people and think we’d all be better if certain groups could thrive instead of wither?

No. It must be because we’re racist. It has to be or someone might be forced to deal with reality.

The laws on the books

Still not enforced in Philly.

NYC and Chicago politicos get ready for a butt-hurtin*

Given that Heller is pending, the next two cities with the most onerous of gun controls will be challenged on their gun laws. Additionally, I’d expect some other lower courts to again be challenged. First up, is NYC. A challenge to the Sullivan Act, the best gun control a corrupt syphilitic with paranoid delusions could create.

Then, Chicago:

But what’s not often reported by the decidedly pro-gun-control media is that since Chicago’s anti-handgun law went into effect in 1982, only two classes of people have had ready access to firearms:

The criminals. And the politicians.

Also passed its gun controls for those nice and corrupt reasons.

* thanks to Wachel Wucas, that’s one of my new favorite terms.

Speel chekc

Heh.

Twice as unpossible

In NYC, an armed guy hid out in a school. That is odd because carrying a gun in NYC is illegal (unless you’re rich and famous) and a school is a gun-free zone.

Between rock and . . .

Most of the bands on there are hard rock.

Unpossible!

I thought guns caused teh suicide. That’s what they tell me, anyway.

Quote of the day

Madrocketscientist in comments at a post here:

I never knew that “Economically depressed, politically disenfranchised social subgroup” began with an N?

Bust out my pants

AC linked to my post about big boy pants. Didn’t take long for the accusations of me being RACIST!!! in comments:

This applies more to class than race, although this is a back-door attempt to scream the N-word.

And that, ladies and gentlemen (whichever one chooses to wear the pants), is why we can’t talk seriously about this issue. Thanks Mr. The C-Word for making my point.

Coincidentally, following the unspeakable class that accounts for half of murders while making up 3% of the population, is another class that follows in terms of gun violence. Poor rural white guys. So, is that my back-door attempt to scream Cracker err the C-word?

Update: Now, I’m using codewords.

Let’s Pretend I’m Paranoid

Maybe it’s because I now have a gun safe cabinet, but suddenly people want to give me guns. A friend has offered to gift me a 20-gauge with a shortened stock (it was his boyhood gun, so the stock was cut down and then rebuilt with rubber padding). He also wants to permaloan me his 12-gauge.

I’ve never done person-to-person transfers of guns, and I’m wondering what kind of commonsense precautions I need to take so I don’t run afoul of the law. In NY, long guns aren’t restricted much (at least outside of NYC), so I’m not too worried. But let’s say I’m paranoid. What steps would I take?

Peanut Butter Heller Time

Not today.

Heller Ruling Today?

Sebastian says it could be.

June 19 would be rather appropriate.

But some more than others

I guess all the anti-gun groups got the same memo. We now have Washington Cease Telling The Truth President Ralph Fascitelli stating that, well, the Heller ruling is irrelevant since anti-gunners are probably going to lose but here’s some gun controls we can still pass. Same old crap consisting of you don’t need a gun, gun show loophole, blah blah. But I found his headline odd:

Gun violence is everyone’s problem

Sorta. It is everyone’s problem. But there is predominately one socioeconomic group that comprises an overwhelming majority of both victims and perpetrators of gun violence. And, basically, until we can all put on our big boy pants and talk openly about that, there will be little impact on gun violence.

no hopechange for you

Those dastardly Republicans. How can they ban Muslims from being in their photo op. Oh, wait, that was Obama’s folks.

What media bias?

So, there are these stupid allegations that Barack Hawaii Five-O Obama may not have been born in America and, therefore, is not a citizen and cannot run for president. So, they asked for a birth certificate. One showed up. Allegations were it was fake since it looked like it came from Dan Rather’s HP printer. Smart people realize that, gasp!, maybe the state of Hawaii, like most places, has document retrieval technology. So, basically, no big deal. And, honestly, pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

And a while back there was speculation that McCain being born in Panama was also excluded from running for president. This claim was equally fucking stupid.

The difference in the two is that there was actually considerable press time devoted to the fucking stupid story about John McCain. And the only mention of the fucking stupid story about Obama is on some right wing blogs.

Update: In comments, it was said that there are actually two federal cases to disqualify McCain. Interesting. I have not read about those.

the answer is clear

George Bush hates white people even more than he hates black people.

Turns out, these will be deployed at the hippie quadrennial in Denver.

Knoxville starts enforcing leash law.

Second Amendment Blog Bash

Plans are underway and the site has been redesigned and updated.

Your communism is showing

First Maxine Waters acts all socialist. Now, Maurice Hinchey of New York:

We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.

Update: I think I found your answer.

Ya ever notice

How Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership likes to find some statistic about gun dealers and stolen guns then mentions Abrams and NRA in the same paragraph. To imply something, it seems.

You know, when he’s not dancing in the blood of someone’s dead child, of course.

Use of force

This is uncalled for.

Unpossible – international division

The place where Great Britain used to be is the world’s largest arms exporter:

Britain was the world’s biggest arms seller last year, accounting for a third of global arms exports, the Government’s trade promotion organisation said.

UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) said that arms exporters had added £9.7 billion in new business last year, giving them a larger share of global arms exports than the United States.

“As demonstrated by this outstanding export performance, the UK has a first-class defence industry, with some of the world’s most technologically sophisticated companies,” Digby Jones, the Minister for Trade and Investment, said.

Unpossible! Since they tell it’s the US who’s responsible for all those guns in other parts of the world. And, ya know, 1 in 6 guns on earth is an AK and neither the US nor UK is big on exporting those.

And it’s kinda funny that the world’s largest exporter of arms is looking at banning pointy sticks, knives and clubs. ’cause those might hurt people.

Google Violence Up

We must ban Google. For the children.

New sheriff in town

Little background. Former sheriff is corrupt. Resigns because of it. County selects new sheriff. Instead of cracking down on corruption in her department, she cracks down on those few who happen to be luck enough to get concealed carry permits in Cali. The former sheriff advocated shall issue and the new sheriff seems to think his manner of giving out permits showed corruption.

Operation Create a Gun Nut Continues

Mentioned before I was creating a gun nut. He’s in process. Well, last night we went to the range at Gunny’s and put about 240 rounds of 5.56 down range. He’s going to build an AR soon, would be my guess.

Help me out here

From the past:

When someone asks you about licensing and registration, pick up a pen and a sheet of paper. Tear the paper in half and hand half to your questioner. Say “Okay, this pen is a gun. The paper I’m holding is my license and the paper you’re holding is the registration. Using only these two pieces of paper, explain to me just how you are going to keep me from shooting someone?”

Anyone? Buller?

Oh, and by the way: Unpossible!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
