TSA, what with their 95% failure rate:
Pattycakes on The Paper of Making Up The Record:
In short, we have a newspaper 1) running funds that politicians can donate to, 2) keeping those donations secret, and then 3) deciding whether to endorse particular candidates.
“Snuffy” Pfleger, in a ridiculous lawsuit, is suing 3 Chicago suburbs because they haven’t enacted gun control to keep guns out of Chicago. And Reuters says:
A group of civil rights activists on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against three Chicago suburbs to force them to take stricter gun-control measures to stem the flow of weapons into the city’s crime-ridden neighborhoods.
What “civil rights” are they advocating? Seems to me they’re inherently against the fundamental right to arms.
A state appeals courts is set to hear arguments on whether guns should be allowed at University of Florida residence halls.
The 1st District Court of Appeal next Tuesday is scheduled to take up a case filed by the group Florida Carry Inc., which says people have a legal right to possess firearms in their homes, including in university housing. An Alachua County circuit judge last year sided with the University of Florida in rejecting the groups arguments in the case.
In court briefs, Florida Carry pointed to a state law that seeks to ensure people can have firearms in their homes and to the U.S. Constitutions 2nd Amendment. It said the state law about guns in homes supersedes another law that generally bars guns at schools and colleges.
The illegal immigrant who shot a SF woman used a federal agent’s gun.
A look at anti-gun groups’ finances. Brady seems to be fading the fastest.
I build houses. Every time the building code changes, we joke that it’s because someone did something stupid. The law is no different:
Days after her son was killed instantly after setting off a firework on top of his head, a Maine mother is calling for stricter laws on who can have access to the explosives.
And by “explosives” the “journalist” means fireworks. You can’t outlaw stupid or a case of “Hey, ya’ll, watch this”
Remember the shareholders suing Wallyworld to get them to stop selling guns? They lost.
As I mentioned before, we had a bit of a disaster in The City (My The City). While my house was technically in the evacuation zone, my subdivision was not told to evacuate. So, I stayed put with the family.
Hats off to CSX. Seriously. They came in and booked hotel rooms for the displaced locals. They provided food, water, and even cash to people.
But, also, hats off to my fellow The City (My The City)ans. Through social media, I watched as, via neighborhood facebook pages and a local gun board, people aiding other people. Locals were offering to pick people up and transport them to safety, taking food and water to other people, looking after pets, and, generally, being excellent to each other.
I like this town. I think I’ll stay.
Via the captain, mob of teens rampages a Wal-Mart.
* 9mm obviously because 18 in the gun and 34 more on the hip would be handy.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
