Whole Foods

The president of Whole Foods proposed some health insurance reform ideas that did not involve rainbow farting unicorns or pixie dust. So, the hand-wringing and righteous (odd qualities when asking for free federal money) call for a boycott.

We don’t have those around here. But if we did, I’d probably shop there.

Forging bloggers usernames?

Gun Rights Don’t Apply In Domestic Violence Cases, Appeals Court Rules

And so far, at least, lower courts have been overwhelmingly hostile to gun owners’ rights.

Don’t see many of those

Gun buy back nets a pen gun.

Pet Bleg

The Doc: Any ideas for a non-allergic pet?

She brought this up a blogger lunch a bit back. I told her to check into the labradoodle. They are advertised as such.

Any suggestions?

ETA: Maybe ask your physician? Perhaps they know something or a common allergy medicine can remedy that?

Oh, internets, is there anything we won’t argue about

Such as whether or not the Watchmen character Rorschach is a sociopath?

I think so. He just happens to be a calculating sociopath with a cause.

Unpossible

In Milwaukee, a man carrying a handgun shoots and kills a would be robber. Wisconsin is one of two states that has no provision for lawful concealed carry. Open carry is, apparently, legal there. From the report, it’s not clear if he was carrying openly. I would imagine that if he was, his robbers may have noticed and opted for a softer target.

Defensive gun use in Harlem, where you have to have a permit to carry a gun and they don’t really give those out.

Service

Joe notes STI’s excellent customer service. I’ve been wanting one of their Tacticals for a while now.

The ACLU and guns

In Massachusetts.

That’ll show ’em

ATF Trace Data

If you run the numbers, West Virginia criminals evade its gun laws by buying in laxly controlled areas such as California and New Jersey.

An animated image would be better.

Les Paul has died

A tribute from Billy Beck, who, frankly, doesn’t say a lot of nice things about any thing.

I have a Gibson Les Paul around here somewhere. I haven’t picked it up since probably 2003. Doesn’t even have strings on it. Sits in a closet next to two new packs of strings that I bought two years ago planning on picking the thing up again. I guess I should probably string it up soon.

A nearly catastrophic error in the victim selection process

you should never use a gun in a crime. Someone will just take it from you and use it against you.

Rule 1

All guns are always loaded.

Brief movie reviews

Since kids, my movie watching has been slacking. Recently got at Netflix account. Love it. Some brief movie reviews:

Bubba Ho-Tep: LOL WUT. Elvis and JFK vs a mummy.

Hellboy: Good guy demon kicks unearthly booty.

Watchmen: MTV is on the air, Nixon is president, 99 Luftballons, a sociopath superhero, Vietnam surrenders, and it’s 1985

Shooter: Sans Funky Bunch, Marky Mark gets his gun porn on.

Squawking in Memphis

Restaurateurs banned guns on Beale Street. The enacted security measures in response to the law-abiding being able to carry there. Not before, when the non-law-abiding were the ones carrying there. Anyway, this made me laugh:

There’s a lot less traffic on Beale Street … which made it a lot more enjoyable

Obviously, searching your patrons is good for business.

We must ban assault weapons

Because the PA killer didn’t use one. Or something.

Quote of the day

We’re just at the upper end of the Soap Box, and the Obama-bots are screaming as if we were up to the Cartridge Box.

Silencer for everything

Fart silencers. No thanks.

Remember, wild animals are wild

Don’t let your dog hang out, illegally off leash, in gator filled waters.

Don’t feed bears. And don’t feed some bears while shooing away others.

Why they marginalize their opponents

Because they’re apparently winning:
