From the AP: Basically, Speaker Harwell is eliminating most of the subcommittees. She says this will make the process more efficient, but I don’t see how. Previously, the subs acted as a filter. Lets take Judiciary (since that’s the one the gun bills … [...]
I’ve had it for a while, and can’t remember where I got it.… [...] As regular readers of this weblog are probably more than aware, I am quite fond of using relatively simple graphics to debunk long-standing myths adhered to by anti-rights nuts, including “more guns = more crime” and “more guns = more deaths“. However, no matter how simple … [...] A helpful note to those fear-driven, paranoid, authoritarian hoplophobes who are hoping to heartlessly exploit the recent tragedy in Tucson as a basis for another round of pointless legislation limiting the size of magazines that can be manufactured: To be perfectly fair, Joe does have … [...] Really, I cannot bring myself to even try to understand the depths of idiocy that Mike Proly would have to possess to write something this unquestionably asinine:
[...] Lost in the noise of everything else going on at the moment, it would appear as though Peter Yates, director of Bullitt, died on the 10th. To be perfectly honest, I did not really enjoy the movie [...] It’s from my favorite crazy lawmaker, G. A. Hardaway, D-Memphis. Hardaway is the one that brought us the “restaurants that aren’t posted must provide armed security to protect unarmed patrons from carry permit holders” amendment to the restaurant carry bill last year. He’s probably the most anti-gun legislator we … [...] And, yes, I think I can safely say that, even less than two weeks into that year. I will not blame you if you do not have the time to watch this video, or cannot bring yourself to do so – I do not have a child, so I cannot … [...] A DSLR camera is a good start to taking awesome pictures, but that is just the first step – the item that has significantly more control over the quality of your photography is the glass in front of that sensor, and if there is one market that is about as … [...] Speaking as someone who semi-regularly openly carries a sidearm (the weather has put something of a dampener on that for the time being), this news does give me something of a warm fuzzy:
[...] Just pointing out something that people like japete, Helmke, etc aren’t doing. Yeah, he passed the BRADY background check, but he lied on his 4473. See that part, 11(e), where it asks if you smoke pot? You can’t buy a gun if you answer that one in the affirmative.… [...] Ok, I was mistaken – I have one last thing to say about the Tucson shooting today. We are rapidly becoming a fully-connected society, in that one will find smart phones, cameras, and video recorders almost everywhere, at almost any time; and, predictably enough, when major events transpire, it is … [...] I have said pretty much everything I care to about Representative Gabrielle Giffords’ shooter, and other post ideas just are not coming to me at the moment (though I am currently reading through something that will merit its own comprehensive post tomorrow – impressive stuff), so I am just going … [...] What with me just sitting around the house, home on a snow day, you would think that I would have the posts just rolling off my fingertips. Instead, the best I have to offer at the moment is updating my “major posts” listing on the left, adding a “review posts” … [...] I follow Breitbart on twitter, not to see what he says but to see what the tolerant, accepting left has to say about him. I am rarely disappointed by the hate directed at him. After the Giffords shooting, this exchange caught my eye: This is why the shooter’s politics matters. … [...] Apparently I should have listened to that nagging little voice… Over the weekend, the thought occured to me to purchase a sled, however, the snowmageddon-that-was-not rather disillusioned me regarding the accuracy of weather forecasts. So here I sit, home from work, with three inches of virgin snow outside. *sigh* … [...] Is anyone else perversely amused at how the decriers of “violent static”, “hateful rhetoric”, “hyper-vicious, borderline-vigilante climate”, and “hostile atmosphere” are all doing so as a prelude to forcibly silencing their opposition? There is scant little more hateful, hostile, vicious, or even violent (after all, such a muzzling must be … [...] Really, it should not surprise me when the majority of conservative/libertarian/small-government/Tea-Party/etc. weblogs out there are busy expressing their condolences, sympathy, and sorrow over the recent mass shooting in Tuscon, while the majority of liberal/authoritarian/big-government/etc. weblogs out there are busy assigning blame, making up reasons (that conveniently demonize the aforementioned conservatives), … [...] But Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords and at least 11 other people were shot in a grocery store in Tuscon, with multiple possible fatalities, including (possibly) the Representative herself, according to some sources. My condolences and prayers to the victims and their families and friends – the only good news … [...]  |
