It's That Day Again

Stan has some 2A thoughts to share...

It's Not About Freedom, It's About Force

The Senate voted 31-8 for the plan, which was pushed by the National Rifle Association and modeled after a Georgia law dubbed the "Shooter Voter" act. The bill breezed through the House 110-6 last week and heads now to Gov. Jeb Bush's desk...

Under the law, businesses across Florida that sell hunting, fishing and trapping licenses or permits would be required to display voter-registration applications.
"Required"?

And if they don't want to, too bad? They have to?

And if they refuse, they'll presumable be arrested and punished? And if they resist and defy they'll be destroyed?

Where did I hear the line "It's Not About Guns, It's About Freedom"?

Why can't store owners be asked to distribute voter registration materials--and if the refuse, be left the hell alone?

Why the need to impose an agenda--any agenda--under ultimate force of arms?

Evil New Super Gun Undetectable--Except for the Parts That Aren't

Cops in New Jersey have made a frightening news discovery.

It comes in the form of a gun, that when place in an airport x-ray machine, is nearly invisible to the human eye.
Uh, that's why they use x-rays--because contents of luggage are invisible to the human eye...
Fontoura said only the steel barrel was visible. The rest of the weapon, including the trigger and stock, did not appear...Police say the gun found in Newark, fires ammunition so fast it can penetrate a bulletproof vest.
I guess a big pipe in a carry-on wouldn't set off any alarms. So much hysteria. So little information.

Hey, that could be the new ABC 7 Eyewitless News slogan...

A Private Party

A federal judge in Brooklyn ruled that New York can have access to gun tracing information gathered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, despite a recently-passed measure that forbids such data from being used in civil suits.

The judge said that measure doesn't apply to New York because it was acting as a private plaintiff, not "the public.”
Well, hey, that door swings both ways, then. If New York is a private party, then its gun control laws should be applied to its agents as private individuals. Any public funds used in pursuit of private aims--including city facilities and compensation for city personnel engaged in pursuing this lawsuit during working hours--should be treated as stolen.

Model Behavior

Don't come between Naomi Campbell and her jeans — the hot- tempered supermodel allegedly attacked yet other maid in an angry dustup over her denim, it was revealed yesterday.

The hell-catwalker whacked Gaby Gibson in the back of the head because she couldn't find a pair of black Stella McCartney jeans, the frightened ex-maid told The Post...

[T]wo months before Campbell was arrested on charges she hit housekeeper Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cellphone after accusing her of stealing her jeans...

The fiery femme fatale is notorious for losing her cool, and was once accused of hitting her secretary with a telephone and threatening to throw her from a moving car.
So naturally, since she can't control her own violent emotional outbursts, she thinks you can't be trusted either, and joined other privileged airhead celebrities to demand that you be disarmed.
