You say you want a revolution

Well, if you do, it’s probably bad PR to be killing the folks who may have been sympathetic to your fantasy. Just sayin’.

I just want to say

If today really is our last day on Earth, I’m gonna miss you guys.

Not Getting It

Our president, and former constitutional law professor:

Since the enactment of health reform legislation in March, several state Attorneys General have filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Having failed in the legislative arena, opponents of reform are now turning to the courts in an attempt to overturn the work of the democratically elected branches of government.

They don’t seem to get how it works. And speaking of democratically, voters don’t seem to be fan of what the democratically elected branches of government did.

Landing on a firing range, not such a good idea.

epic failure

Really? Pole-dancing classes for kids? As a dad, one of my jobs is to keep my little girl off of stripper poles. Not enroll her in a class for it.

Tennessee Gun Case

Remember the idiot who painted his AK pistol’s barrel orange so it looked like an airsoft gun then went wandering through the local park carrying it openly? Cops were called and no charges filed because he didn’t break the law. Being stupid isn’t a crime. But he lost his handgun carry permit because he was deemed to be a material risk to public safety. Turns out, he doesn’t agree with that assessment and is suing the state:

Leonard Embody filed the lawsuit in Williamson County Chancery Court in May, and it was transferred to Davidson County Chancery Court last week.

According to the suit, Embody lawfully carried handguns with permit since 2001 and renewed the permit every four years. It was suspended this year because he presented a “material likelihood risk of harm to the public.”

Embody has never been arrested, charged with a crime or appeared before a judge concerning his handgun carry permit suspension, the suit says.

In the UK

Some guy is butthurt because Americans posing with hunting trophies offends his daughters. Ok, then.

Good to know

Tip for videotaping people who might not like it. I have the ustream app on my droid.

And, also, this deal where the police think your cell phone is a gun and justification for arresting you? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Up next, this pack of gum is a gun.

Man haul. In fact, just head to Robert’s and check out all the posts for some awesome pics.

Unpossible

Several shot at Ohio bar. You can’t take a gun in a bar in Ohio. It’s illegal.

Lists

The feds selectively not enforcing laws.

Those darn bitter clingers

Are holding Mexico hostage:

How can it be possible that after 18 months in office, President Obama still has not appointed a director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the federal agency charged with monitoring illegal flows of weapons? We know the answer. The administration and Congress are scared of the gun lobby.

How times have changed

The organization that was formed to ban handguns has changed its tune.

Nifty

A puzzle with a gun hidden in it.

Night shooting class

Report and a cool pic.

Carry guns in holsters

Not wrapped a shirt:

A 12-year-old girl was shot in the leg after a .22 caliber revolver wrapped in a T-shirt fell from a stroller at about 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1.

By the time I get to Arizona

TN rep heads to Arizona to see what all this immigration law stuff is about.

I’m a gun owner but . . .

The editor of the Commercial Squeal goes on about being an NRA member. Odd since his paper is definitely anti-gun and it maintains a database of handgun carry permit holders.

Rusty says: I noticed that at no point does Chris say he’s a member because he believes in the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

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