We're the Only Ones Anticlimactic Enough

An off-duty Palm Beach County sheriff's sergeant initially told police he shot a 21-year-old man for stealing his badge and nearly running him over.

But an investigation into the 2 a.m. encounter concluded the two men were in a dispute over $40 because Ira Joe Stuckey did not complete the sex act he was paid to perform on the sergeant.

On April 21, Stuckey, 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and wearing a wig, ended up with a bullet wound in his left arm.

On Friday, Sgt. James Seigfreid, 48, ended up in jail.

Talk about blowing things all out of proportion...

This Day in History: May 8

On this day in 1792, Congress passes the second portion of the Militia Act, requiring that “every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years… be enrolled in the militia.”

The History Channel has an "American Revolution" category summarizing what happened on this date. Perhaps I'll begin including a link as a daily feature...

We're the Only Ones Discharged Enough

A Morris County corrections officer was being treated Friday for a hand wound suffered when his personal weapon discharged while he was cleaning it, County Sheriff Edward Rochford said.

"His...weapon discharged."

"[He] was...cleaning his personal weapon...when it discharged..."

"[T]here was one round in the chamber which apparently discharged..."

That's one hell of a willful gun...

Church Group Held Up by Armed Robber

A women's group from Christ Church in Kenilworth was forced to lie face down on the floor by an armed robber.

In the group was a pregnant woman who started having contractions during the robbery.

Well why didn't Reverends John Algera and Stafford Miller step in to help protect them?

Good One!

The campaign against gun violence was begun by the Rev. John Algera, pastor of the Madison Avenue Christian Reformed Church, and the Rev. Stafford Miller, pastor of the St. Philip's Ministry of the United Methodist Church, in answer to a spate of random gunfire that erupted on the city's Northside late last year....

If we want the city to prosper, first get rid of the guns.

LOL!

Gun Battle Erupts at Vancouver Rap Show

A dance-floor brawl early Saturday erupted into gunfire — leaving one man clinging to life in hospital, another suffering from a gunshot wound and pandemonium in a Vancouver venue...

The night's bill featured headliner Lord Finesse(Robert Hall Jr.) from New York, the Chillin Villain Empire from Los Angeles and local rappers Fourth World, who were celebrating the release of their new CD.

Must be the fault of all those American guns. Every time me 'n my homies get around them, stuff like this is always happening...

Bruce Willis Backs Gun Rights

Movie star Bruce Willis supports Americans in their constitutional right to carry a gun, insisting everyone should be able to defend themselves with a weapon if need be.

A statement to the media is nice. How about getting involved now in the fight to protect that right, Mr. Willis?

2nd Amendment Carnival

The 2nd Amendment Carnival will be hosted here on (or around) May 27th, another Second Amendment Saturday. I think a carnival will adequately replace one 2A Saturday a month!

Head on over to Free Constitution for more information.
