Blame the gun nuts
First, phone records. Then, web surfing. And now, credit card transactions. Big brother is really watching. Well, not really watching so much as accumulating, I guess.
I was listening to the radio the other day and they were discussing the movie “The Purge“. Basic premise is that all crime is legalized for 12 hours. So, the hosts were discussing what people would do and people called in to say what they would do.
I was just thinking I’d sit at home and load a couple of extra magazines for each gun.
My daughter is heading to camp next week. She’ll have the coolest flashlight there.
A jury in Bexar County, Texas just acquitted Ezekiel Gilbert of charges that he murdered a 23-year-old Craigslist escort—agreeing that because he was attempting to retrieve the $150 he’d paid to Lenora Ivie Frago, who wouldn’t have sex with him, his actions were justified.
Well, sort of. Texas has some odd gun and self defense laws. It’s OK in Texas to shoot to defend property, provided it’s a night or some such. And, so, this man was stopping theft. That it was done as a result of the illegal act of hiring a hooker didn’t seem to matter.
Regardless, that’s one retarded jury.
Privacy is dead. Get used to it. But there is hope: And the only real privacy you have from the government is in the fact that there’s just so much data that they’ve very unlikely to focus in on you. You are a proverbial needle in a data haystack.
Like I’ve said before, we’re innocent. For now. When they start looking, you’ve probably done something.
Well, I’m compensating for the fact my penis can’t hurl a projectile at 2,200 FPS.
Update: That’s not scientific. I didn’t break out a chronograph.
Pit bull attacks news reporter, caught on film. Except, it looks like playing to me. Now, the woman who owned the dogs was derelict in not restraining them but that’s about as much an attack as Obama is a civil libertarian.
In honor of the passing of Frank Lautenberg, true enemy to freedom, I shall name my next gun Frankie.
Well, mostly, it’s a good cause. But get 5 P Mags for $65. Sales benefit the legal battle against the ban in Colorado.
Some Israeli soldiers took some racy photos of themselves. Some, with their service weapons. This is apparently big news!!!!
But but but 90%: Obama’s Approval Rating on Gun Control Plummets
Gun rights advocate arrested for allegedly threatening someone. Seems more like “he said, she said” but it could be a case to watch.
Probably not the way to go about it. Liberty County Sheriff said, “I believe in the second amendment and we’re not going to charge him.”
I admit, I’ve not watched the show in years. But, apparently, they have an app and it’s anti-NRA:

“I am not here as a serf or vassal. I am not begging my lords for mercy.”
Oh, but you are. You just don’t realize it. “You’re innocent until proven guilty” has become “you’re innocent for now. Until we look into it and even if you are, we’ll fuck your life up so bad it won’t matter.”
There are two governments. The first is the elected one and it’s comprised of ineffective, ineffectual, beholden shysters who are accountable only to the extent people stop voting for them. Since we have an incumbency rate of north of 80%, that basically means there’s little accountability. Their only purpose is to get re-elected for the perks.
The second government is the not elected government. These are the bureaucrats who typically have job titles like “associate executive assistant to the director of some secretary for some alphabet agency”. These guys are unaccountable in any way, shape, fashion or form. Hell, we can’t even get these guys fired, barring a dead body or a molested child. They’re only purpose is to make the lives of productive people expensive, stressful, or even criminal. They are judge, jury and executioner in their realm. The IRS can take all your money without a judge saying so. The EPA can shut your farm or business down without a judge’s approval. Customs can seize all your imported product at the border. For any reason they choose. You can sue and might get your stuff back. But the damage is done.
You can change the elected government all you want but that, thus far, has had zero effect on the not elected government. You are their serf. Or their vassal. Like I’ve said before, if the .gov can make you install a chair lift in your pool, it can make you pick its cotton.
And now, the elected government is siccing the not elected government on their electable foes.
You’re not voting your way out of it.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
