John Edwards is a pile of shit

But his trial is bullshit. Of course, there is a bit of irony in him being on the wrong side of a stupid trial. I suppose I could take the line that it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. But, no. Shitty law is shitty law. When you smear it on shit, all you get is more shit.

Hit piece

Apparently, NBC did a hit piece on Remington firearms. Like most Americans, I wouldn’t know since I don’t watch NBC news. The incidents listed look to be more attributable to poor firearm handling than any defect with Remington. Jim Shepherd explains.

The NSSF has more.

ATF doesn’t like the competition

Gun shop raided for supposedly selling guns to people who might send them to Mexico. I wonder if ATF told me to do it would fly in court?

Compare and contrast

Via Radley comes a case where a black man shot a white man in self-defense but he’s spending life in jail. The article is about ‘stand your ground’ laws failing, which I doubt is the case if the shooting occurred before GA passed such a law.

Police didn’t charge the man initially. But, a year later, the DA decided to prosecute.

If the account of the incident is correct, then this pretty egregious. A man shooting another man who is charging him with a knife is, in any way I can think of, lawful self defense.

Color me skeptical.

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