Ahh the scorn for the gun industry and gun owners....

Just caught this piece today on the Daily Beast. 

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/28/preparing-for-war-in-indianapolis-inside-the-nra-plot-to-terrify-america.html


Man he REALLY don't like the NRA and by extension all of us

" I noticed a J.Crewed-out family who might have come from Bethesda or Greenwich—two parents and their son, 12 or so—checking out the action on the wall. I looked around for more like them and started to notice that while in the minority, they were definitely there, wandering the halls looking at the merchandise. For a moment it was comforting, but it suddenly occurred to me that their nonchalance about taking their kids to an arms bazaar might be even more eerie than the shaved-headed, ZZ Top-bearded guys who smelled like month-old cheese and looked like they’d been locked in their bunkers the past week making love to their antique Lugers."


because we're OBVIOUSLY too stupid to realize that

" It is for them that the NRA runs a terror campaign, pure and simple, to sell a lethal product by making them think everyone from the black president to the United Nations to minorities and terrorists is coming to start a war with them—probably by kicking in their door and stealing their guns. And their barcalounger. Maybe the big-screen TV."


Orrr it could just be they have realized [or have always known] that the world is a dangerous place and to not take steps to protect yourself in it, is tantamount to suicide. That the weapons are a tool and don't even necessarily have to be USED to be effective to stop a crime in it's tracks as shown in the following story..

http://www.khou.com/news/crime/Armed-good-Samaritan-comes-to-the-aid-of-purse-snatching-victim-257091061.html

Wait what?  You mean someone, who wasn't one of the "trained" police officers [excuse me..I need to catch my breathe from all the derisive laughter in response to those 3 words 'trained police officer'] actually used a GUN to stop a crime? And OH MY FUCKING GOD! He did it without firing a single shot?  The obviously eeebil gun didn't jump out of the good samaritan's hands and start killing people willy nilly?  Hold on, I think I'm  having a heart attack due to shocking SHOCK,  that this gun didn't of it's own OBVIOUS innate intelligence and volition start killing people at random for no reason what so ever! 

Wow that's amazing!


This this twat waffling, fuckwitted smelly little butt nugget apparently doesn't care much for the facts of life. This is patent in his response to Wayne LaPierre's statement

"We know, in the world that surrounds us, there are terrorists and home invaders and drug cartels and car-jackers and knock-out gamers and rapers, haters, campus killers, airport killers, shopping mall killers, road-rage killers, and killers who scheme to destroy our country with massive storms of violence against our power grids, or vicious waves of chemicals or disease that could collapse the society that sustains us all,” he said."

because he calls Lapierre.."The NRA’s executive vice president and foaming mouthpiece".

"LaPierre, of course, is never held responsible for this rhetoric, even though it is not too much of a stretch to say that its repetition in all of the NRA’s magazines, radio show, emails, newsletter, speeches, on Fox News, and on right-wing talk radio and beyond clearly contributes to the killing everyday American citizens and members of law enforcement."


Ah so law abiding "rightwing" gun owners are going out every day and killing their fellow man and cops in wholesale job lots? Odd. I thought it was by and large CRIMINALS that were injuring, raping, robbing etc etc your average law abiding citizen, as well their their fellow criminals.

If I actually had a printed copy of this little antigun, anti 2nd amendment,  antigunOWNER diatribe..I wouldn't even condescend to wipe my ass with it. Use it to start my bbq pit yes, letting it touch my nether regions?  I don't think so.

Earth Day 2014!

Whoopee shit. Yes yes one of those "feel good" nonsense days where everyone claims to love the earth, says all the right things, turns off all their electronics for an hour or 3 and goes out to gab, join hands with their neighbors and sing kumbaya..

Normally on this day I do a whole bunch of things to spit in the face of the earth but..today? *shrug* just too much effort. I don't have anything down from the freezer, so nothing to cook on the bbq pit, making whatever meat I cook scream in agony and the fire gods laugh with glee. Can't afford a monstrous water bill so no leaving the water running non stop and washing both vehicles with evil chemical cleansers,  seeing as how I washed them sunday.   OTOH a great many of the lights and electronics in the house are running full tilt boogie.  The front and back yard got cut with that evil fossil fuel powered lawn mower.  Oh the screams of pain coming from the grass and bugs was music to my ears. got the same thrill when I weedeated but alas...not for as   long and not as much.  Oh I did make my tree scream by trimming back some of the branches a little. still got more to go.  So my "Spit upon earth day" anti earth day campaign wasn't a total wash out. 

What are you prepared to do today?

Epiphany...dude it really ISN'T racism!.....

It's speciesism......oh fuck. The fact I came up with this in the wee hours this morning because I was awake, being upset and depressed....makes me feel like I just set loose a ball of carnivorous worms in my skull and I can feel them eating my brain.  Dude...not even drunk or hungover[though I'd reallllly love to be the former right now given the way I feel] and I came up with this?  Ow...just ow. *groan* oh god...


Okay lets see if I can get this all down.  And yeah I'm probably gonna piss off a bunch of people.  Anyone who's read this blog knows that I argue that what most people call racism, is in fact tribalism.

Differences of opinion and wars between tribes of people. To reiterate.. tribes exist in various forms...at it's base, tribe is family.  In the macro it's nation. and there are almost as many types and sizes of tribes in between those two, as there are stars in the sky.   A slight exaggeration to be sure but you get my point.  Which in point of fact would make me a tribalist and a nationalist. OTOH those descriptives cover pretty much everyone on the planet. But what if it's something else in confluence with that? Species.  People, even some who agree with me about a great many things political will say "how can it be tribe with the genetic differences that say...make blacks way more susceptible to certain diseases?"   Okay here's my answer. Sub genera of the same genus or...sub species...slight genetic offshoots of the same species.  In other words. the Different "races" are still as I believe, tribes but they are also separate but equal offshoots of the same SPECIES.  The one we ALL belong to...Homo sapiens. Therefore...I dub thee  Homosapiens sub genus epicanthic[asians for the epicanthic folds of their eyes.]  Sub genus africus[blacks], sub genus latin [latin descent...yeah I know that one makes too much sense and is too simple. stillll]  Sub Genus Sahara[arabs...though they could probably fall as a sub set of the sub genus africus]. Sub Species caucasus. [white folk] Sub genus punjabi [indians and related tribes] Oh and sub genus...well crap...still need one for the American Indian..I don't know....sub genus Navajo?  Why that? Why not?

So in addition to being a tribalist[and a member of several different tribes at that..some occasionally at odds with one another]  and nationalist bastard; I'm also I guess a speciesist. Or maybe that should be Specieism and Speciest.    Has your head exploded yet?  No?  Oh well..I feel better. I don't feel like carnivorous worms are trying to eat their way through my fucking skull anymore.  That was the important part.

Now I have another problem...if I've carried this to a logical conclusion as I think I have....I think...
[okay I can hear the chuckles from some of my friends about the double "think" now. HUSH! this is as much an emotionally cathartic exercise for me, as much as anything else.  the fact I also think it's a weirdly fascinating mental exercise not withstanding]

  Then does that mean that I just gave logical justification for the belief of the all the mad bad buggers of history and current world orders, such as hitler for one example and slavers for another...that certain types of people are "sub human"?   Cause that thought path bothers me a bit.  Okay more than a bit, because I'd hate to give those dictatorial fuckers justification for their insanities and atrocities.  Sigh...shit I think the worms just came back.................*groan*

'truly amazing and terrifying  the mind of the wolfish one is'

Oh for those that wonder what set my brain off like this...being basically told that I'm a racist,  or rather what I was saying was racist. Which normally doesn't bother me. As it tends to be the cry of people with differing political philosophies than I, that I argue with on the web. Who cry "racism" because the only  possible reason I or anyone else can dislike and disagree with everything Obama has done, is doing is because he's  black.  *flaming snort of disdain* Which ignores the real reason I detest him.  He's a lying, disingenuous, fork tongued, incompetent bumbler who is doing things I vehemently oppose because well...they are WRONG as far as I'm concerned. Except this time I was told what I was saying was racist  by some one I care about very much.  Which ignores the fact I'm part irish and part german. Which means my Irish ancestors were quite possibly slaves themselves at one point. or my ancestors fellow irish were. And were abused by their government or a foreign one at some point.  I give you the 'Potato Famine',  people, go find a BOOK at the library and read.   *rubs skull*  Come to think on it, probably some of my germanic ancestors were as well. Sorry folks who call "racism" and regurgitate the evils of the "white man against the black man".  Whites were enslaved right along with blacks, asians and every other skin pigment on this rock;  and LONNNG before this country was born. Before the concept of this country was even a gleam in our founders eyes. Hell before our founder's FATHERS were gleams in their own daddy's eyes.



Edit 4/20.  You know......I wrote this a MONTH ago and I just came back to re read it. I think I set the carnivorous worms loose in my brain again. Fuck!  Editorial note ..a caustic, sarcastic,  cynical son of a bitch I will freely admit to being, but DAMN!  Happy  Easter!

STOOPID kids.

Okay fellow germs and virii. I'm...perturbed.  [Shut up basset!]

There was here in Texas the other day a shooting of a 17yr old male.  Why was he shot? well lets just reel off the highlights shall we?
A. he was in the bed of the 16yr old  daughter of the man that shot him at 2 in the fucking morning.
B. He had a gun being held on him and was told not to make any moves.
C. he moved...father shot him..

Wait? more detail?  Okay here's what we know so far.
1. The father was woken up by one of his 3 sons and told that there was noise coming from the daughters room.
2. Daddy grabs the gun to go check it out.
3. Upon entering he witnesses strange male in bed with his daughter.
4. When asked if she knew him the dimple darling daughter replied Nope.
5. 17yr old male told NOT to make any funny moves.
6. Apparently he went to reach for something and the father, reasonably...shot him.
7.  It now comes out that...
a. Daughter in fact DID know the lad in question because
b. he was her "boy friend"  So she let him in. So...
c. because she lied to daddy, that boy is deader than the home cooked cheeseburger that graced my plate for dinner night before last.


Is anyone mad at the daughter for lying?  2answers to that . some are. the rest? Nope the rest are all decrying the "ebil" gun owing father who was doing, he thought, his goddamn job and protecting is daughter and the rest of his family!   He didn't know the 17yr old lad in question. For all he knew the lad when he moved was going for a weapon of his own.  Therefore...for my money, fully justified shooting for what information he had at the time!

Someone on a friends facebook post about this commented that both daughter and father should be charged with manslaughter.  Uhhhh...how about....... NO!  Again, fully justified shooting for what the father knew at the time.

Couple questions come to mind.
If that lad was truly her boyfriend...why hadn't the father met him yet?
Had anyone ELSE in the family been intro'd to the boyfriend?  Like saayy...mommy? [who was according to reports, at work.]
How long had they been 'dating'?

See,,,way I was raised...at some point in the dating process, preferably early...I'm gonna end up introduced to the ladies family.   Now I never did any dating in high school was a shy fat kid who was bullied alot. So I didn't see any reason to put myself out there to be hurt more.  If I had dated I'd have fully expected to meet at least SOME of her family when I picked her up for our first date, or 2nd date, or 3rd etc.....not be invited into the house and into her bed at 2 in the goddamn morning! OTOH I don't think I'd have been out and over there that late anyway, so the boy is as guilty of stupidity in this case as the daughter.


So again...for my money, the girl is directly responsible for her "boyfriends" death. So is he, but he's already paid the ultimate price for his and her folly.  I wonder how the boy reacted to her telling that lie to daddy, right then and there. Betrayed? Understanding because he didn't want her getting into huge trouble with pops?  Welll we'll never know the answer to that one now. Will we?

So to finish up, if she hadn't lied to daddy the boy would still be alive. He may very well have been handed a beating, and a talking to in the process between blows as was his due at that point, but he'd still be alive.  The girl would have probably been grounded for a good long while, but she wouldn't now have to live with the catastrophic results of her stupidity.  If you find my attitude strange let me put it another way.  Sorry...you do NOT lie to your father because you don't want to get into trouble/grounded  when he's holding a gun on your "boyfriend" goddammit!!!

Spoiled Brat? yeah probably but..

Interesting case up Jersey way. an 18yr old is suing her parents for private school tuition, her pending college fees and legal fees engendered by her lawsuit of her parents.

Now she claims her parents threw her out of the home upon her 18th birthday

Rachel Canning claims she’s been out of her parents’ home since her 18th birthday, Nov. 1, after her parents vowed to cut her off “from all support both financially and emotionally.”

However her parents say she threw a temper tantrum and stormed out of the house and they've since cut her off because of her inability to abide by the "house rules" of her parents. Which...most parents have in one form or another.

Sean Canning says the athletic, brainy teen refused to follow the rules of his home, like being respectful, doing chores, coming home by curfew and breaking off a relationship with a boyfriend the parents dislike.
Okay...the 1st 3 rules of the house mentioned aren't that heinous.  Sorry kids...but it's for your own good. I never had to worry much about rule 3 because well..I was never one to go out with friends because frankly..I didn't really have any.  As for rule 4 which is really an ultimatum not a rule. 1. why do the parent's dislike the boy so much? is he abusive? manipulative?  Maybe he's a player and their girl is to far gone in love to recognize or acknowledge it?  Or is it just a case of "no one is good enough for daddy's girl"?    I'm not a father but I am a doting, protective  uncle and I'm already trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with the bodies of anyone who hurts my nieces.  I'm leaning towards the purchase of a large industrial grade woodchipper at the moment.

Further muddying the waters of this little brouhaha...

Further complicating the matter is Rachel Canning’s allegation of domestic abuse last October and a teacher who witnessed the teen and her mother engaged in a rough conversation that ended in a nasty way.
But Sean Canning, furious that the family feud has reached the courts, claims a Division of Child Protection and Permanency representative visited the family home and found Rachel was a “spoiled” and petulant child and ended the investigation


So there was an allegation of abuse and CPS came out and investigated? And concluded that the girl is just a spoiled brat?  Hmmmm

And then there's this bit?

The Morris Catholic High School senior and lacrosse player instead has lived at the Rockaway, N.J., home of a classmate, whose father, John Inglesino, has foot the bill for the suit.

One wonders why her friends father is footing the bill of this lawsuit?  Call me a cynical, suspicious son of a bitch if you want but...this makes me...a tad uneasy.  Note the latter statement is again coming from a doting uncle who's nieces have had him wrapped around their little fingers since they were born, and I'm still a tad suspicious of this.

Now frankly?  if she did walk out in a snit as the parents contend? I'd have probably not cut off the tuition for the kid's final year of high school. I'd have  paid that off so she can finish her schooling if she hasn't already and let her go on her merry way.   Then there is the bit about them diverting the funds they'd put aside in an account for her college?  Shrug. One guesses that the money in that account was provided for by the parents and not her from the sounds of it, therefore it's still their money.  Now if it was a trust fund set up in her name that she couldn't touch til a certain point...I'm not sure what the law on that would be.

If as she contends they threw her out? Then yeah she might have a case. However at 18 you are legally and adult sooo..I don't know.

I've got multiple questions about this brouhaha that ain't been answered and might not be for the forseeable future...so I'll reserve judgement.

Oh! the link to the article! duhhh. sorry about that.

Considering...

my current mood, the title of my blog,  the title and lyrics of this song.....

I find this song an appropriate post to this here blog.

From the We don't want your guns file.

I'm worried boys and girls. And a bit scared. Only a FOOL wouldn't be with what's happening in the news lately. Perpend......

Now last year Connecticut...the state legislators and the Guv...passed and signed into law a bill that required registration of weapons and magazines before the law made some of  them illegal to own.  In the wake of that...the press and the gov't of connecticut acted all shocked and shaken and shit over the the fact that 10's of thousands of gun owners REFUSED to register their weapon in open defiance of this asinine, unconstitutional diktat.  That law lads and lasses stated that all owners of "military style" weapons had until Jan 1st 2014 to register those weapons and get the state to recertify them to own the weapons by issuing an "assault weapons" certificate which would allow them to keep said weapons.  Any magazine over 10 rounds is summarily banned and all of the; what we would call "standard capacity magazines" [ie anything over 10rounds]  also needed to be registered.


http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/17649-connecticut-gun-owners-ignore-registration-deadline


And now drops the other shoe...as the connecticut gov't in the guise of the state troopers send out the first round of confiscation letters to 106  AR15 owners that failed to make the deadline, and one hundred...15 I think it was, magazines registered..Now have a choice...


1) Render the weapon/magazine inoperable;

2) Sell the weapon/magazine to a licensed dealer;

3) Remove the assault weapon/magazine from the state; or

4) Make arrangements to relinquish the weapon/magazine to a police department.

 Oh did I mention that Everyone who failed to register can now be convicted of a class D felony?  Class D is the low end of the scale.  Punishable buy between 1-5years in prison and up to a $5000 fine. One assumes this is per count[per weapon or magazine in this case] making it stackable and the time spent in prison long and the fines possibly ruinous.

http://americanlibertyriders.ning.com/m/discussion?id=3899508:Topic:551747


This is a blatantly unconstitutional, anti 2nd amendment, anti FREEDOM law.


They [the gov't] are going to use[and probably will from the beginning] SWAT teams to do raids. Doing property damage, possibly nflicting death on family pets protecting their owners and killing gun owners whose only "crime" was to freely exercise their constitutional rights and refuse to kow tow to  government[both local and federal] that's becoming dictatorial. 

Here's hoping pro RKBA advocates challenge this law and the confiscation in the state and or federal supreme court.

What's going to be interesting is how the Connecticut gov't handles basically being told to fuck off and die.  What's going to be more interesting is how those who told the government to fuck off and die and those that missed the deadline...are going to handle this going forward.For my money?  Barring the state being jerked up short by a lawsuit...and depending on how the government and the cops handle this...[probably badly at a guess, they've already proven they're terminally stupid by passing these laws] and how the gun owners respond?
  shit just may very well get...REALLY interesting.

You think I'm crazy?  Let your finger tips do the walking in which those same SWAT teams that are going to be used for this, have been doing the same thing on drug raids, for miniscule amounts of marijuana, or how the left has a new toy called SWATTING in which they call the cops on someone they don't like or disagree with politically and tell the cops some horrible story[that is flatly untrue be it that they be drug dealers or child abusers etc etc] Unlike a friend of mine..who thinks we're a little farther off from another civil war.  I think that whatever happens in Connecticut will possibly be the proverbial final straw that breaks the camels back.

Like that same friend though..I agree...the results of that final straw are going to be extremely ugly.  See if this kicks off the next civil war, then it won't be like the last one folks.  This won't be large armies on the field of battle and the stories of heroism and stupidity on both sides[and there was both on both sides of that war] oh no.  THIS time boys and girls it's gonna be guerilla warfare. It's going to last a good long while. It's going to be snipers taking out gov't officials, sneak raids on government offices, car bombs, bombs in government offices, police stations and probably military posts where the soldiers don't shoot their own commanders for giving the illegal order to make war upon their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins etc etc whose only crime AGAIN was to exercise their constitutional enumerated and protected rights.  There will be no middle ground in this fight., no sitting on the fence.  If you sit on the fence you'll be considered an unaffordable liability and an enemy by BOTH sides. Just to give you a few examples that friends and people I trust use because they are known of by people. This is going to be like Beirut. This is going to be like Afghanistan when we aided what would become the taliban/al queda, in throwing out the Russians. This is going to be like Ireland, both in their fights against the british; AND against themselves via the catholics and protestants.  Except this won't be happening on some far off shore, in which  the people will be distanced from it and read about in the papers or watch it on the news, like some TV show drama. Oh no boys and girls this...THIS is going to be on our own soil. Our own goddamn doorsteps! 

What rises from the ashes of that free for all is also disputed. Some hope for a resurgence of freedom and honor and personal responsibility such as it was in our founders time. I know this...it will NOT be the America most of us my age grew up in as children. It won't be the country our parents and grandparents grew up in.  For my money? We will either end up as a region of balkanized states. Some of which may follow the founding principles, many which won't. A region that will constantly be at war with itself because those that follow the guiding principles of our founding fathers will be beacons and those who would do what connecticut and california and New York are doing will not be able to STAND to have those shining examples of the exact opposite clusterfucks that those 3 afrorementioned states are examples of.  [IOW for those that have read the series...The Ashes, aka Ben Raines series written by William Johnstone....without the nuclear detonations in some place and the cannibals. And yes the criminal element is going to have a BALL]
The other option? We'll end up a tyranical nation as a whole. Either militarized and aggressive to a fare thee well against other nations, and an  EMPIRE in truth.  Orrr... a tyranny such as Venezeula, or the old USSR {Soviet Russia for those that failed miserably to pay attention in history class] and other communist nations.

Random post

I know, I know. I'm slacking off. But with some of the stuff going on right now, including multiple surgeries and doctors visits for my mother...just ain't got a lot of time to give you the ranty goodness ya'll deserve. Hopefully [please god!] things will settle down by the end of the month, to the point where I can sit down and do a couple more rants.  Seeing a lot of interesting stories on the 2nd amendment front so maybe another one from the "we don't want your guns" file will be done.  I don't know. We'll see what sets off a spark.  In the meantime here's a link or two to some of my older posts.

CONgress at it again via Sheila Jackson Lee

My fellow Texans?  Ya'll ought to be ashamed you put this harpy, this, this...pimple on a donkeys ass, into the congressional seat she now holds in unearned splendor.  Frankly, not to put fine a point on it, this swarthy warthog, shouldn't have been elected to her husband's seat on the Houston City Council, lo those many years ago..

What brings this on?  Other than a healthy dislike for the unhonorable guttersnipe?  I will tell you.

Sheila Jackson Lee in concert with others the other day, in a news conference announced a new caucus in the congress, that bloated maggot ridden corpse of a once at least semi honorable body of people.  The Full Employment Caucus.  This caucus' number one goal?

"“In fact, I think that should be our number one agenda. Let’s write up these executive orders — draft them, of course — and ask the president to stand with us on full employment,” Jackson Lee added".

Yes she's actually saying that this caucus will write up executive orders for the president, for him to sign. *head....* Nope....not gonna do it.  I need to print out a picture of this idiot and put it on my dartboard.  Either that or I need to do some gaming and get my mad out.

Uhhhh...Sheila you idiot?  Doing thus, is NOT in point of fact in your job description.  Anywhere.


Along with her on this "Caucus" this Board of Assfaced baboons are..
Rep John Conyers-  Now why does that name ring a bell? I'll have to look after I finish writing this

Rep Maxine Waters- Now THERE's a surprise....not.

Rep. Charles Rangel, Rep. Frederica Wilson, Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. Jose Serrano, and Rep. Mike Quigley.

This is what's wrong with our country boys and girls.  This and the stupid sheep among the voters who keep putting these kinds of imbecilic diktat writing, tin pot dictator wanna be's in power.

We don't want your guns file.

Hello Germs and Virii.  Here's a few of the anti gun idiocy that has passed upon your curly wolfs facebook wall just this morning....


Here we have a doctor who isn't happy with the passage of the Missouri 2nd amendment act which

invalidates federal laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms (which would presumably be every federal gun law), and subjects those enforcing such laws in Missouri to fines and up to a year imprisonment.

provide for school teachers and/or administrators to be designated "school protection officers," authorized to carry firearms to protect the school from attack

lower the age of eligibility for concealed carry permits from 21 to 19

preempt local restrictions on openly carried firearms; protect medical personnel from any law requiring them to inquire about a patient's firearm ownership; and ban firearm possession by illegal aliens

Some of course aren't happy with this..

Like Dr Robert Flood
"

But Robert Flood, a pediatric doctor at St. Louis University and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, said the bill is written under the mistaken concept that more guns lead to greater safety.
“Children are more likely to die by firearms in states with lax gun laws,” he said. “Rather than being used for self-protection will be used on other people [um, actually, Doctor, when guns are used for self-protection, they're generally used 'on other people'] .”


Again friends, "it's for the children!" is the cry.  Sigh *headdesk, headdesk, headdesk*

http://www.examiner.com/article/mo-2nd-amnd-preservation-act-decried-by-man-who-wants-constitution-superseded

*Note the author of the article I believe supports the Mo 2nd amendment act.  He certainly treated the doctor with scorn in this article


Then there is the following gross stupidity from Illinois...

http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/news/25301892-418/school-officials-are-no-fans-of-gun-ban-signs.html


Yes because obviously law abiding citizens who own guns and have CHL's are too stupid to understand that teh little vinyl sticker means it's "illegal" to carry a gun on the school/restaurant/whatever's  premises.   The fact that it is proven again and again that that sticker disarming those who would be armed is the reason "mass shootings" taking place in those venues is of course, something that goes in one ear and out the other. Goes over their heads, or has a hard time getting through the skull of someone with the bone density of solid granite!  Irony is lost on these morons.


Then finally for todays "nope we don't want your guns file there's this one..from our enem...errrr I mean our friends over at Al Jazeera.


It starts out BADLY in the title for the article with this..

Americans cannot continue framing gun control laws in terms of infringement on their freedom.

*Yes some moron actually started an article with those words. 

Ayup be afraid. be very afraid because it only gets worse from there
