how people react

In situations wherein people are vicitmized by crime, have you ever seen anti-rights nuts come together to support the survivors, families, and friends? Certainly, they will come together to to try to enact more laws, and further infringe on the rights of the people who did not commit the crimes, …

Remember

Breaking the law is not a loophole.

Bloomberg sends people to buy guns out of state and it’s showcased as a loophole.

An Ohio man tries to sell some guns out of state and he’s looking at Federal PMITA Prison time.

Laws, like taxes, are for the little people.…

file under “no good deed goes unpunished”

Or, at least, I would if I followed the specious pseudo-logic of the anti-rights nuts.

Yesterday, while working on the final stretch of my little fundraiser for Ramon Castillo, I started feeling progressively worse and worse – the full gamut of fever, body aches, chills, headache, coughing, etc. etc. …

the verdict

At 2030 this evening (ok, I was a little late), I headed over to Random.org, and had their handy-dandy True Random Number Generator (which generates true random numbers based on atmospheric electromagnetic noise) provide me two integers between 1 and 8, inclusive. The results were 8 and 6, …

we did it!

With just a few hours remaining, and thanks to some last-minute donations and Amazon purchases, we have successfully raised $121.21 for Ramon Castillo’s recovery fund! That maxes out our anonymous donor’s budget, which means, come 2000 tonight, we will be giving at least $221.21 to help facilitate the recovery …

quote of the day

Today we are going to kill two birds with one stone and combine a “quote of the day” with a return to the “bigotry, exposed” category, with today’s comments being provided by none other than the thankfully-inimitable MikeB302000 in this comment thread over at Joe’s. As a …

24-hour warning

Ok, actually a bit more.

As of the time of this posting, we will have raised $57.28 for Ramon Castillo’s recovery fund – as a reminder, all funds up to $100 will be matched by an anonymous donor, so we have the potential to give a fair amount of …

On Egypt.

You want to know what immediately came to mind when the fecal matter hit the rotating blades?

The Dark Arts for Good Guys series.

Now personally I have no desire to leave American Occupied America–ever–but that doesn’t mean I won’t have to go to a -stan at some point for …

breathing helps

Option 1: Pay $100 for an official, Ford-stamped, Bullitt-specific, consumable, non-washable/cleanable cold-air-intake air filter, plus whatever additional it would be for installation.

Option 2: Pay $50 for an aftermarket, Bullitt-specific, cleanable, washable cold-air-intake filter with larger dimensions in every direction, more surface area, and better throughput, and install it myself. …

One line movie review: Wall Street 2

40 minutes of stock-footage filler, 90 minutes of “Republicans caused the meltdown intentionally, hate the planet, and the world would be better if everyone on Wall Street was more Liberal and no one ever tried to make money . “…

scott pilgrim vs. the world

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: I would imagine that it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate a movie like this, but if you enjoyed Zombieland, be very afraid for it, because I think it just got dethroned. …

seemed fine to me

So… how/where do you clean your mouth guards?

Because I think I seriously freaked out my mother-in-law by running mine through the dishwater after washing all the dishes… …

they have been down that road

A fair number of people are getting understandably concerned that Our Glorious President may decide to idiotically perforate both his feet in some pointless and poorly-thought-through thrust for increased “gun control” here in the United States, with the recent shootings in Tucson acting as a not-really-springboard for the same. If …

we pay for this incompetence

Ever since I started seriously paying attention to American politics, I started trying to figure out exactly when the American people lost control of their government… Over the years, I think I have found the answer – when we allowed regulatory agencies to enact rule changes that are backed by …

pegged to a drawer

For not being a terribly handy individual, I seem to be on something of a roll these days.

First, it was my ammo can shelves (Note: these shelves will not accommodate Cabela’s dry boxes, given that they are significantly larger than .50 caliber ammunition cans. I am sure the design …

quote of the day

One of the funniest things, in a sad sort of way, about joining the pro-rights movement when I did is being able to observe the slow, gradual decline of anti-rights organizations, and bear witness to their childish disbelief at why they are failing, and why their numbers are constantly decreasing, …

surefire way to lose business

How much you believe this is your choice, but I have a report, from a fairly reliable source, that SureFire flashlight prices will be increasing at the end of the month, with the example being an E1B going from $139 to $160. Ouch.

*sigh* And I was just thinking our …

even gunnies say the darndest things

In a comment regarding loaded chamber indicators on firearms that was later featured as a full-fledged post on the same, Ash said the following:

I don’t buy the ‘any added complexity invites mechanical failure’ argument for a modern firearm.

That is great and all, but there is one small …

there was some speech last night?

I have little-to-no interest in what Our Glorious President has to say any other day of the week – why would I care more when he apparently thinks his haughty, narcissistic take on the country is worth bringing that country to a halt?

Send a memo that everyone can appropriately …

Okay, someone explain this to me…

Let’s say you’re an ex-con. Let’s say you take off on foot when the car your riding in gets pulled over, because you think there’s a warrant out for your arrest.

It turns out, however, you were wrong. There’s no warrant for you, so all you’re doing (from this non-lawyer’s …
