Exceeding Expectations

Two days into the buyback, 250 firearms, including an AK-47 rifle, have been turned in, police said.

"The response definitely exceeded our expectations so far," police spokesman James Tate told The Detroit News. "It has been so strong we are running low on money but we are going to continue through Sunday."
I guess that all depends on what your expectations are, Tate, you tater head.

If you're expecting violent crime to go down one whit, you're going to be disappointed. But that's not the point anyway, is it? It gives your superiors a chance to get some pr from the enuretic media, score points with their masters, reassert dominance over local Stockholm syndrome suffering cud chewers, plus everybody feels like bigshots and authorities passing out money that's not theirs and advice that's not sane.

Remember the name "Comerica Bank." Those tater heads can't even protect their own assets, employees and customers, and they want to extend this contemptible defenselessness to the public at large. If you have an account there, close it out and give 'em this card.

On the Keepandbeararms.com site, someone noted that the numbers here don't add up.

Starting fund amount: $10,000
Minimum starting payout: $50
Firearms collected: 250

250 guns x $50 each = $12,500

At a minimum, somebody's about $2,500 in the hole.

Ah, what the hell. The Only Ones have been blowing other people's money for over a century. Why stop to count it now?
