Whatever it is...You Can Get it on eBay. And How.

Kingston footballer Mazin Ahmad has been sentenced to 100 hours of community service after he admitted buying an illegal stun gun on eBay.
Good Lord. They monitored his emails over this. And then they "swooped."

Me, I'm waiting for the rope used to hang Saddam to go up for bid.

Life's Great Mysteries from Life's Great Thinkers

Rapper PHAROAHE MONCH has defended his violent new music video, insisting it carries an important message about the "desensitisation we currently have towards senseless violence"...

"As a creative writer, I like to ask questions. What would a bullet say if it had a voice to speak its mind?..."
Dude, I know exactly what you mean!

I've spent hours wondering what language cheese would speak if it wore shoes. But in fairness, that was back in college...

The Reddest Guys You've Ever Seen in Seattle*

On a morning when a school shooting grabbed headlines yet again, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels urged state lawmakers for the second year in a row to pass tougher gun laws.

"We have some of the weakest gun laws in America," Nickels said Wednesday, flanked by police Chief Gil Kerlikowske and Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw, who heads the Seattle office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Go ahead, turn 'em in, Mr. and Mrs. Washington State. Nickels, Kerlikowski and Crenshaw will personally guarantee your safety if you do, and they'll be able to show you their guns (paid for by you) to prove it.

We're the Only Ones Observing Rule Four Enough

Fort Smith police say the bullet that killed a bystander as police exchanged gunfire with a criminal suspect last month came from an officer's gun. Forty-one-year-old Olivia Stewart was a block away at an apartment complex when she was fatally wounded December 12.
If you don't know what "Rule Four" means, you need to educate yourself right now--without delay. Don't be one of "The Only Ones" remaining in the dark on this.

Daley Aims to Pass New Gun Laws

Because the old ones just aren't enough. They never are.

But don't worry--those who urged you to vote for Judy Baar Topinka will stop him.

Wayne Fincher Update: January 4

Reported admitted to the hospital.

Reported released from the hospital.

I also note "The Gun Guys" gloating in sadistic glee over Fincher's situation. I will not link to those evil traitors to direct any traffic their way. I merely point it out because it's yet one more example of the defective character of those who demand that the state disarm their countrymen.

We're the Only Ones Ringing in the New Year Enough

A Houston woman's house literally became a target for gun-play on New Year's Eve. But the man accused of pulling the trigger is a Houston police officer.

Investigators say Ricardo Pineda fired two guns at a New Year's party at a home in southwest Harris County.
HAP-PY NEW YEARRRRR!!!! from "The Only Ones."

I wonder what would have happened to the homeowners had they returned fire?
