We're the Only Ones Seasoned Enough

Three Hixton families have filed a complaint with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department against a deputy, claiming that he pepper sprayed four kids and two adults riding on a float during an Independence Day parade.

Leave it to "The Only Ones" to spice up an event intended to celebrate sovereign individual liberty.

Someone's Been Googling Their Name

However, I will remind you that the founding fathers possessed weapons that could, but the best infantry in the world at the time (the British) only be fired between 3 and 5 times a minute. Do you know what the modern automatic machine gun can do. Times change Mr. Quammen, and with them the rules and yes rights too must also change. The founding fathers ment to protect the people from their creation (the federal government) not set them as prey to their fellow citizens.

Just a guess, but I'd say Jori S. Byrne-Diakun (who's "not a she") picked the wrong guy to give a lesson in founding intent to...

And yeah, Jori, I'd say we have a fair understanding of "modern automatic machine guns," at least to know we haven't been able to (legally) get 'em since '86, that they were never part of the '94 federal ban, and that the only people who suggest they are used for hunting are those who don't know any better and those who wish to exploit that ignorance.

We're the Only Ones "Armed" and Dangerous Enough

A Missouri State Highway Patrol commander is recovering after shooting himself in the arm with a pistol...

"Every once in a while, something like this happens...It's unfortunate, but it's one of those things. That's why guns are dangerous."

With a bit more training, you might realize that incompetent gun handling is what's dangerous.

But what do I know? I'm not an "Only One."

And If He Says "No?"

At the end of June, Pearce dropped by the house, asking my husband if he knew of my plans and if he approved.

Initially, I'm horrified. What if we had a bad marriage, and I wanted the gun for self-protection? Why should he get to overrule my decision?

Kim Gandy, the president of the National Organization for Women, sees it differently. It's never wise to bring firepower into an abusive household, she says. And if New Jersey's law requires spousal notification, victims get time to prepare - or leave.

So that's the official word from the nation's leading "feminist" organization? If a woman wants a gun she needs to get her husband's permission?

You've come a long way, baby!

Now get me another beer.

Stick to Football, Coach

"I think we need to leave those issues to this - dial 911 and get the people that are trained to handle those things," Coker said Monday during the 2006 ACC Football Kickoff event. "I really don't want our players to have firearms."

I'd say you need to work on your defense.

I'd Settle for Methane Neutral

Gore said he and his wife, Tipper, who was in the audience, had adopted a "carbon neutral lifestyle."

Does that mean they've stopped exhaling?

Ted's Bridge to the Police State

Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) charges a Republican-backed amendment that prohibits the confiscation of guns during an emergency puts police officers and first responders in danger.

Of course, no one will confiscate the guns of this loathsome parasite's taxpayer-funded bodyguards.
