Subconsciously
This may explain gun nuts’ obsession with the zombie apocalypse.
The measure, sent to Gov. Rick Perry for consideration, lets any incandescent light bulb manufactured in Texas – and sold in that state – avoid the authority of the federal government or the repeal of the 2007 energy independence act that starts phasing out some incandescent light bulbs next year.
Wisconsin looks to become 49th state with a concealed carry provision, governor expected to sign. Tam notes the narrative:
And so, year by year and state by state, the CCW reform movement spread across this fair land. And each and every time, the local media would chant the same old litany, almost as if they were reading from a common script: “There’ll be blood in the streets! Shootouts over parking spaces!” And it kept not happening.
Libertarianism (well, more precisely fiscal conservatism and social liberalism) always polls well. But it never manages to make it’s way into political reality. Because while people, like Republicans when they’re not in power and Democrats when they’re not in power, talk a good game about freedom and fiscal policy, until it’s time to actually vote for some real change.
Graphic images coming soon to cigarette packs.
Grassley comes out swinging.
Malice or incompetence? At this point, I’m going with both. They incompetently managed their malicious intent.
Here’s Andrew Traver giving a reporter a gun to shoot. And then intentionally conflating machine guns with weapons that look like assault rifles. Because we need a gun control propagandist heading up ATF.

Despite his signature being affixed to the bottom of a questionnaire supporting gay marriage, his handlers say it wasn’t him. Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah:
Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois.
Yeah, I linked this earlier over ATF head resigning. But this is also notable:
Terry was killed last year north of the Mexican border in Arizona after confronting bandits believed to be preying on illegal immigrants. Two weapons found near the scene of the killing were traced to Fast and Furious.
“I was flabbergasted. I couldn’t believe it at first,” Terry’s mother, Josephine, said when she learned the ATF may have let some of the guns used in the attack slip through its fingers. Terry’s relatives said they want all those involved in his killing and who helped put the weapons in their hands to be prosecuted.
“We ask that if a government official made a wrong decision, that they admit their error and take responsibility for his or her actions,” Robert Heyer, Terry’s cousin and family spokesman, said in a hearing last week by the House panel.
This idiotorial seems to be saying that it’s OK if ATF let a few guns in because the president of Mexico says the guns are coming from the US any way. Even though we know a lot of the weapons come from the Mexican army and most cannot be traced to the US. It doesn’t fit the narrative that the NYT wants and that ATF was trying to create, even though they had to break a few eggs.
When is a shotgun a shotgun? Apparently, when a lawyer decides it is or isn’t.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
