Some guy gets a ticket and the police in Charlotte detain him because he’s there to protest the DNC and is on the terrorist watch list.

Tennessee has some odd laws on buying precious metals. And the police will come take your stuff if you don’t follow them.

I wanna kick him in the junk with my carbon footprint. She’s one of those angry ex-polluters.

Hippies think doing the can-can will keep them safe.

I don’t see that working the way they said but that’s the claim. Besides, I’d bet $100 that the Obama campaign already has the returns since they know people at the IRS.

NSSF is hosting some seminars for residents

Grassroots stops local onerous gun law attempt.

Obama did not end the war in Iraq.

Gauss rifle? Looks more like a Gauss handgun.

Hitler Guard Luger with a light.

Ugly gun is ugly.

Eventually, the bill comes due.

And you belong to the government. Odd. I thought the government belonged to the people.

I did not know that. Seems Mr. C. of GBR fame is legally blind but that man can sets records for hitting steel.

BTW, GBR starts tomorrow! You guys have fan.

Spotted my first OCer today. Took a pic:

Asked if he OCed all the time and he said yes. Asked if he ever had problems and he said no. Seriously, those were the only two words he said. Wasn’t real talkative and seemed annoyed that I’d ask.

This guy looks like a shooter:

Is made of two guns, if you’re a NY paper.

I thought they learned their lesson but I guess not. The platform calls for “an honest and open conversation about firearms.” We had that already and the gun control side lost. It’s the same old platform that calls for banning the sale of the most popular sporting rifle in the country and for banning private transactions. Well, they don’t call it that. They call it banning assault weapons and requiring background checks for all sales. But the result would be more like my description. Apparently, the platform doesn’t go far enough for Mayors Against Guns.

I spent a good portion of this weekend watching college football. Our local team had their opener. Since deciding to be an Alabama fan just so I’m not always disappointed, I of course was looking forward to their opener. But what cracked me up was the coverage from the sports talking heads in the two days of jibber jabber that is sports commentary. They were saying things like to beat Michigan, Alabama will have to . . .. The presumption being that Alabama, ranked 2 and defending national champions, was somehow at a disadvantage in the game. You know what Alabama had to do? Show up.

And don’t even get me started on USC.
