Tam on the NWO conspiracy types:

This is our third administration that was about to round us up and decapitate us for being black white Christian gay Democrat gun owners militia kooks hippies racists Tea Partiers. (It’s a pretty elastic meme.)

I think you forgot one. This is clearly the fourth.

Bitter takes to task folks from red states who urged caution in supporting pro-gun democrats. Facts are that some democrats are pro-gun. My general caution is that they tend to support judges or party bosses who are not necessarily pro-gun. That is to say, I may like Phil Bredesen on guns, generally, but if he was a rep, he’d be a vote for a Pelosi. Sorry, that’s just a generic example I made up.

I don’t really place a lot of weight in statements like the crushing debt being laid upon the heads of our children in this inter-generational theft defines this Democrat regime. After all, the crushing debt didn’t just get here. It’s been building in the last eight years too, no matter the party.

She wonders what we red state sorts think about certain races in her blue state. In those cases, going with the pro-gun guy is the thing to do if you value your gun rights. After all, their governor is anti-gun. And a big anti-gun swing would be damaging for years.

ETA: Should point out that the judge thing in PA is not an issue since they’re elected. But that does, usually, play into my thinking on the issue.

Westboro Baptist Church, a group of assholes so assholish that even the KKK repudiates their activities, had decided to hold protests in WV, where the recent mine explosion claimed some lives.

Update: Looks like they’re heading to VT too.

The guy who decided to have a smoke on a plane and then, when busted, tell them he wanted to set his shoes on fire will not be charged. Diplomatic immunity and all. Like you and me, only better.

Indeed.

Rivrdog is none too happy with a disclaimer. He notes:

I MIGHT have violated the rule if I OWN a complete stock for my Glock 22 AND it is in the same place as the Glock, and ready to be attached.

Actually, ATF would bust you for constructive possession. Doesn’t matter if you actually do it or not. I simply would not own a stock for a Glock unless I registered my Glock as an SBR.

Sorta related is Robb is a bit upset over it being unlawful to own a bit of metal:

Think about it. This is just the lower, serialized and stamped in a way that makes it a ‘machine gun’. Doesn’t matter if you put a bolt action 50 BMG upper on it, it’s considered a machine gun. And because that particular piece of aluminum was put into the registry after May 18th, 1986, it is illegal for me or you to own.

But, being a registered lower, it probably doesn’t have the extra bits of metal in it and would be classified as readily convertible. Doesn’t matter if you actually do it or not.

ATF: the country’s only pre-crime unit!

There’s an old gag about how the guy who’s telling folks in some radical group they should blow stuff up is the fed. And I’ve heard tales where various police agencies decide to infiltrate some group. And then they find out how every member of the group is actually an undercover police officer. The big bad militia scare is usually overstated and seems to be exacerbated by law enforcement involvement.

Now the feds are just impersonating folks:

So the FBI has now admitted they are falsely representing themselves as fake leaders of real right-of-center organizations in order to chase leads on potential extremists who threaten violence against lawmakers. This is a pretty disgusting tactic because when the story is resolved and reported, the innocent groups are being smeared through association by law enforcement officials.

But . . .

There’s always the crazies who are up to something. Yammering on about New World Orders and how shooting a meter-maid will bring about utopia.

The US says it can target American citizens for killing. Hope and change.

Sound bullets can target cancer cells and submarines.

Guav informs me that Protest Easy Guns facebook page has become a bit less hysterical. Maybe they realize that people don’t like being bleated at.

I find it odd that an article focuses so much on the fact the female robber used a pink gun.

Looks like bust.

It’s coming up in ten days. Yesterday was their money-bomb and no one told me about it. It’s not too late to donate though at their webpage. They have a good list of speakers.

Nanny to get your bun:

With the pants-shitting hysteria every time some fast food joint releases some gastronomic abomination, and with the First Lady beating the drum against child obesity, does anyone really doubt that the fast food industry will take the place of the tobacco industry as a public villain (and, conveniently, a cash-filled pinata) within a decade or so?

Articles of faith, apparently.

Les Jones:

The closed nature of the Apple iPad certainly reduces freedom. The question is, does sacrificing freedom actually make the iPad secure?

Gun Controllers Need Not Fear ‘Intermediate Scrutiny’

I’ve said before that the way to win the gun issue is to get support of lefties and democrats. Bitter reminds us that very blue districts can be pro-gun. Some aren’t convinced and urge caution. I don’t disagree but, like most folks, other issues can sway me. My ideal is that all candidates are pro-gun and then I can choose based on other issues.
