Backup Second Amendment Saturday

Stan is having trouble with Blogger (Really? I wouldn't know...), so he's posted this week's 2A commentary over at his backup site.

We're the Only Ones Goombah Enough...

TWO ex-New York cops were last night facing life behind bars after they were convicted of secretly working as Mafia hitmen.

Louis Eppolito, 57, and Stephen Caracappa, 64, were involved in the assassination of at least eight people for the Mob while serving as detectives.

They also sold drugs, intimidated witnesses, carried out kidnappings and helped Mafia bosses with money laundering scams.

And what do you think would have happened to a regular citizen if he got a piece and popped these two meat eaters?

We're the Only Ones Biting Enough

A GROUP of young boys were bitten by an off-duty police dog as they played football after it escaped from its enclosure...

Fortunately, no private citizen was armed, so the animal was not injured.

We're the Only Ones "In the Mood" Enough...

Seven people, including five police officers, were charged yesterday in connection to the alleged rape of a 29-year-old woman on Rhodes, sources said.

Cigarette?

Policeman's Gun Accidently Goes off at School

A 13-year-old boy at Saunders Middle School in Manassas, Virginia, accidentally discharged his father's weapon on a school bus, fortunately no one was injured. The weapon was at the school all day without incident up until that point in time.

Oops.

A Dynamite Idea

I do not want to take all weapons away from Americans; we have the privilege to hunt. However, Americans do not need assault weapons or even semiautomatics.

So I challenge Mr. Hannick to answer this question: What does he want a semiautomatic or an automatic for?

Perhaps he is going to hunt with it. If so, I would like to suggest the sport of hunting with dynamite.

Jori Byrne-Diakun

Indignant anti-gunners. Is there anything they don't know?*

I also love her childish line: "A life is a life, and is the most precious thing in the world."

I wonder what she'd think if some latter day Gollum broke into her house, and was advancing on her, "My Precioussss..."

Permitting the Right: Truth in Advertising

Words have meaning.

Framing the ccw debate around the term "right to carry" is calculated, deliberate and pervasive. Because it requires permissions and licensing, it's also not true.

Just be careful pointing that out to most "pro-gun activists."
