joan peterson is the face of gun control

There is always more to the story than you think.

Joan Peterson, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership board member and President of the Northland Chapter of the (Not-Really-) Million Mom March, started her anti-rights, anti-guns weblog “Common Gunsense” (link intentionally omitted in accordance with this weblog’s terms

you should always have a choice

Despite occasional evidence to the contrary, we all know that if a criminal already has his firearm out and pointed at you, there is absolutely nothing you can do to save yourself, which means this heart-warming story is a complete fabrication:

Investigators say two men entered the Windy Hill

and all this is happening in december…

Well, for all you hard-core folks who were whinging about how Eastern Tennessee shut down for three inches of snow, this should make you feel even more awesome: we are currently still at home, and probably for the rest of the day, thanks to about 1/8″ of slick-assed, solid …

talk about a deficiency

Everyone remember the brand-spanking new backscatter scanner systems the Transportation Security Administration Thousands of Sexual Assaulters are using at airports now? You know, the ones that photograph you electronically nude, can and will eventually cause cancer, and violate our Fourth Amendment-protected rights (a crime that the former Assistant

Want to know how to tell when a country’s rule of law has failed?

Well, take two people: one person “forgot” to pay his taxes for three years, and the other person “forgot” to pay his taxes for four years.

Which person should end up in jail, and which person …

a virginia divided

Earlier this month, Judge Norman Moon, United States District Judge over the western half of Virginia, ruled that the American government can enslave its populace at will.

Two days ago, Judge Henry Hudson, United States District Judge over the eastern half of Virginia, ruled that the “health care reform

Q&A

Q: Hey wizard, why do you carry that pocket 9mm around the house, even when you’re in your pajamas?

A: Because I love my wife. Even (especially?) when I’m in my pajamas.

Clarksville police said Hector Martinez kidnapped the 25-year-old woman from a home on Heritage Point Drive Monday

On the Florida Schoolboard incident

Weer’d has a great post, including video, if you need background.

The thing that struck me this morning is how formulaic the whole thing is. Once again we have:

  • A prohibited person
  • carrying a firearm without a permit
  • into a gun free zone
  • with intent to commit a serious crime
  • [...]

    putting a face to the cause

    Well, I think it is fair to say that Joan Peterson, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership board member and weblog writer under the moniker of “Japete”, has finally gone of the deep end. Honestly, it took longer than I was expecting.

    In the space of two …

    make it awesome

    Remember that hubless skateboard I talked about a while back?

    They went and did the only thing a nerd could be expected to do:

    Unfortunately, the story is that this is a “one-off”, so do not go getting your hopes up. The more I see of that thing, the more …

    troubleshooting

    So, are the pictures I put up in my posts not showing up for anyone else in Google Reader?

    I get the block of space for the image, and the little image icon in the upper left corner, but no actual picture… Anyone else? …

    was not expecting this

    Here at Chez Linoge, we have decided to call it at about three inches – less on pavement – and it is the most dry, powdery, useless snow you could ever imagine. Regardless, enough for us to get off work for the day, and that is fine by me. …

    13 toys, $48

    You cannot say as though I ask a great deal out of you, my readership, but since I have done this for two years now, I might as well keep up the momentum:

    The stuffed animals are from the Disney Store in our mall, and were all of $3 a …

    arrested for questioning the law “enforcers”

    As an update to my previous post concerning Joel Rosenberg, consider this statement from Dick Unger, an actual, honest-to-God attorney from Minnesota:

    This is more about our justice system than about Joel. The preposterous amount of bail is the usual way to coerce a defendant to plead. If

    random culinary delights

    This thought never would have even crossed my mind, but “ash-ripening” goat cheese with poplar tree ash creates something that is damned good. You have to get past the whole, “they intentionally added powdered, burned wood to my cheese,” thing, and the end result is not your mama’s goat cheese …

    just throwing it out there

    If I were able to push the price of Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly down to somewhere around $11-12 shipped, as opposed to its current CafePress price of $16.25 shipped, would anyone be more-interested in purchasing it? The only catch (and there is always

    leather, metal, and wood

    Well, since you all took my exhortation in entirely the wrong fashion, here is some gratuitous Dragon Leatherworks porn for you:

    For those of you who have not been keeping up, Dennis at Dragon Leatherworks contacted me a little bit ago, and offered to create a holster in exchange for

    arrested for obeying the law

    Speaking of the persecution of law-abiding citizens peaceably exercising their rights

    I know next to nothing about Joel Rosenberg, except that he appears to be a prolific science fiction author, the writer of Everything You Need to Know About (Legally) Carrying a Handgun in Minnesota, a Twin
