there is a method to our madness

If you ever wondered why firearm owners are occasionally less-than-amused at the continual slings and arrows employed by anti-rights advocates, Joe Huffman has the comprehensive explanation, wrapping it up with:

If other specific enumerated rights were treated like firearms ownership there would likely be riots in the streets. But

percy jackson and the olympians: the lightning thief

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief: Harry Potter set in the loose framework of Greek mythology… only with most of the characters being glaringly ignorant of Greek mythology. …

Restaurant Carry Bill moving swiftly

It’s on the Full House Judiciary calendar for Tuesday @ 3:30.

Once it passes out of Judiciary, it goes to the Floor for debate and eventual passage. The timeframe I’ve been given is about 5 weeks for full passage in the House.

We have significantly less trouble getting things done …

all lined up

I know that sabot-encased slugs from smoothbore shotguns are basically useless (believe me, I know, although “basically useless” does not preclude them from putting very large holes in things), but they certainly do look nifty:

Also, good lord macro photography shows off dust/dirt.

When I get around to it, …

the wheel keeps on turning

Back in December, Leonard Embody, an individual who posts by the name of “kwikrnu” on the Internet, openly carried a Draco pistol-receivered AK-47 in Radnor Lake Park. The pistol was intentionally painted in such a way that would be confusing to police officers (as expressly stated by Leonard himself

if the world was an honest place

Today’s quote of the day comes from pdb by way of this comment he left at Marko’s place:

Every time the uplifters try to pass another behavior modification law, I want them to swear on the Bible that it’s worth shooting a guy in the face over.

And that …

not-really masters of time

Alright, Daylight Saving Time really needs to go away, if only because I am tired of spending that hour I gained/lost trying to find and correct all of the time-keeping devices in our home that did not update automatically. If you like more light in the evening, how about we …

i support starbucks

Starbucks is atrociously overpriced, and I hear they run their beans through the darker parts of Hades before they grind them, but I support businesses that support my rights (or at least recognize and respect them), so without further ado, here is me putting my money where my mouth is: …

alice in wonderland

Alice in Wonderland: Billed as something of a sequel to the original story, this actually turned out to be yet another in a long line of rehashes of much the same plot, with much the same characters and outcome (and potentially some ideas stolen from some other rehashes)… …

like the energizer bunny

Potentially in response to my immediately previous post, my parents sent me this video:

With the comment of:

There used to be a not-very-friendly acronym for FORD – found on road dead. To our knowledge, this advertisement ran exactly once.

I have no problems admitting that I giggled. Also, …

got that rumbly feeling

So I will freely admit that the video quality is sub-par (which is what happens when I take the video after the sun goes down – duh), and that the audio is not exactly terrific either (which is more a function of the hardware limitations of Better Half’s new toy

amusing

The Nissan dealership in town is running a radio ad proclaiming that they have been authorized to accept the trade-in of Toyotas covered by the recall, and to give full-market-value for those vehicles. Good for them. But then they go on to explain how a truck can actually be sent …

spreading it around

So I started doing our taxes this past week, and it turns out that the federal government claims we owe them some money. A lot of money. A lot of money in addition to the monthly wage-garnishments we have already had to suffer from our friendly IRS.

Which leads me …

two different kinds of warnings

Your daily dose of all-too-real humor.

And, from the same source, I am not sure if it is the on-paper engineer in me, the repressed artist in me, the military buff in me, or just the fact that it was designed to carry nuclear missiles, but I find things

showing the lie of their words

Do you want to know why the phrase “guns in bars” is a pointless exercise in fearmongering?

As I write this post, I am sitting within about 25 feet of four separate loaded firearms, each with between six and 30 rounds of ammunition already inserted into them, and magazines full …

boru versus ruskova

In honor of our republic potentially disappearing before our very eyes, I ask you this question:

What kind of world do we live in when spuds like me can actually make significantly better vodka than honest-to-God Ruskies? …

all in the phrasing

Even though my collection of posts debunking the anti-rights claims of the Commercial Appeal, denouncing their privacy-invading database, and disproving their copy-pasting of erroneous VPC studies is still in existance and has been moved to greener pastures, I have largely given up on addressing the newspaper’s incessant anti-rights …

law abiding citizen

Law Abiding Citizen: The main character assuredly did not live up to the title, but if you are interested in a rather disturbing condemnation of the American legal system wherein lines become remarkably blurred, this is probably your movie… as long as you do not mind a not-quite-as-bad-as-No-Country-for-Old-Men

follow the money

I refuse to link to the webpage from which Joe Huffman borrowed this quote, but that does not change its value:

Allowing that public support could be partly defined by evidence of membership dues being paid to an organization that claims to promote beneficial public policies. It is telling
