Chilidish Arguments for Gun Control

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 5:08 pm

If you’ve ever read anything on guns by Paul Helmke, New York Times, the Brady Center or the Washington Post (but I repeat myself), you may have scratched your head at their horrendous reasoning and thought to yourself “Geez, Louise, a 12 year old could have written something like this.” If so, you’d be right.

H/t: Uncle.

Randi Rhodes’s “Suspension”

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 6:40 am

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it make a sound?

If a talk show host is suspended from a station no one listed to in the first place, has she really been “suspended” from anything?

Heller Court: What Part of Shall Not Be Infringed….

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 7:15 am

Wow. I mean, just … wow. Like all the other gunnies I’ve been cautiously optimistic about the Heller case but never for a minute (OK, maybe for a minute) that they’d go as far as to guarantee a right to keep and bear bazookas. The best part was seeing Justice Stevens as the lone dissenter on that part of the opinion, with no one signing on to the no-rights view. Hey ACLU/ABA/Brady Bunch: can you say “pwn3ed?” Or given that this kick in the gut came 2 months earlier than expected, should that be “pre-pwn3ed?” It almost looks as though the Supremes made a few minor, stylistic edits to the GOA brief and called it an opinion. Well done, GOA, your 30+ years of no compromise have finally paid off!

To you suckers who have sunk tens of thousands of dollars in pre-1986 machine guns that are now worth barely more than their semiautomatic counterparts, I feel your pain. Sort of. As for me, I figure that with the Supreme Friggin’ Court so squarely in our camp, we won’t be needing these guys anymore, except maybe as a social club to meet a few other shooters. Certainly no need to waste any time or money going here or here, unless you want to meet some cool people like me.

UPDATE: Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me.
