Toting your rifle down the street, wearing a kilt, with dark glasses and hat, you may as well be screaming “pay attention to me”. And you got attention:
I dunno, I’m sympathetic to the cop here. He was trying to be cool until dude got all “am I being detained?”
Well, figuratively since I think, literally, they kind of lost it.
Verizon issues statement in Morse code to protest net neutrality ruling
District court rejects a challenge to Cali’s gun roster. Because police have special needs and are safe with guns, apparently.
A quick glance at the Federal Register (Vol. 80, No. 37, p. 9987-88) today reveals that Attorney General Eric Holder, who earned cautious praise last month for a small reform to the federal equitable sharing program, has now delegated authority to the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to seize and “administratively forfeit” property involved in suspected drug offenses. Holder temporarily delegated this authority to the ATF on a trial basis in 2013, and today made the delegation permanent while lauding the ATF for seizing more than $19.3 million from Americans during the trial period.
Historically, when the ATF uncovered contraband subject to forfeiture under drug statutes, it was required to either refer the property to the DEA for administrative forfeiture proceedings or to a U.S. Attorney in order to initiate a judicial forfeiture action. Under today’s change, the ATF will now be authorized to seize property related to alleged drug offenses and initiate administrative forfeiture proceedings all on its own.
Ice T, in a remake of one of my favorite songs, Institutionalized (NSFW language warning):
Pork is not gonna kill me unless they figure a way to shoot it out of a fucking gun.
MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry said during an address at Cornell University this week that she hopes 17-year-old Trayvon Martin “whooped the s–t” out of gunman George Zimmerman during their fatal encounter in 2012.
Well, you got your wish. Martin did and he got killed for it.
But in NJ, someone’s brain finally started working and the man with a flintlock won’t be charged:
Fortunately, this afternoon Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae showed some sense and used her prosecutorial discretion to dismiss the case.
I did not know this:
First, Facebook’s late policy of charging me money to access the audience I worked to create annoys the ever living hell out of me. I’m not sure how almost every other post of mine ends up “outperforming 95% of your other posts,” and surely you want to give Facebook money so you can access your followers? If you don’t, we’ll be sure to only show your posts to about 1/8th of your audience, so pay up!
I haven’t paid them a dime. I suppose this would explain why the blog’s facebook page doesn’t see as much activity as it used to.
New computer. Doing new computer things, like decrapifying it.
So reports guns.com. My guess is this video (skip to 1:50) doesn’t help Sig’s case:
The paper of making up the record gets pretty much everything wrong in trying to paint carry permit holders as violent. Of course, they just took dictation from the Violence Policy Center.
She’s been approved in DC. My guess is she only got it because the authorities figured she’d get another 12 weeks of material and a lawsuit out of it.
Tam:
It was within my lifetime (albeit barely) that you could order an actual 20mm anti-tank rifle in the mail with less drama than buying a packet of Sudafed today.
This looks like it can get you killed:
Officers should “take a deep breath’’—and close their eyes—when dealing with angry people, according to the NYPD’s new “retraining’’ program.
The potentially dangerous advice is part of a $35 million “smart policing’’ primer by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton that most of the officers who have gone through it say is completely useless.
Not the kind promoted by astroturf groups: Project ChildSafe ‘Own It? Respect It. Secure It.’
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
