God and Country

Alphecca exposes another power-hungry Republican collectivist fraud.

Don't you just love the "God and Country" banner he wraps himself in?

Well, well, well...


Surprise, surprise...he must be a true champion of Brownian and Topinkan proportions to merit a higher rating than Ron Paul...

Maybe if the Tarrant campaign refuses to disclose his stance on 2A, we can rely on NRA-PVF to give us the straight dope...?

I'd Rather Have a Machine Gun

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched a drive Sunday in Bosnia-Herzegovina a contest calling on all owners of illegally held weapons to turn them in and enter a lottery to win a number of attractive prizes.

All those who decide to hand over weapons left from the country's 1992-1995 war may win a scooter or any of numerous home appliances, the UNDP said.

Why am I reminded of Mrs. Presky reacting to her game show prize on Firesign Theater's magnificent "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers"...?

"Sporting Purposes" Hits a Snag

Britain's strict gun laws could present a major hurdle to Glasgow's bid to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport admitted yesterday.

Patricia Ferguson said there were problems regarding the pistol events, which are key Commonwealth sports. Following the Dunblane massacre in 1996, in which 16 children and their teacher were killed in their classroom, legislation was introduced that prohibits the use of handguns in public venues.

And we all know what a threat world-class target shooting competitors present to us all.

We should all know where "sporting purposes" originated. And once rights are thus trivialized, with costs propagandized as outweighing benefits, banning them as non-essential becomes easy.

That's one reason why I've always found the slogan "Vote Your Sport" to be so shallow.

We're the Only Ones Infantile Enough

Police charged a suspect after a bus driver was robbed of his fares, then realized the suspect was a 3-month old baby...The baby had been charged with robbery, extortion and banditry, said local superintendent of police Rattan Sajai.

Hey, this outsourcing of "The Only Ones" files to India is working out just fine. These stories are every bit as ridiculous as our home-grown ones, and I'm getting them for rupees on the dollar...

"Art Imitates Life in Rio"

Police hunted through the shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro on Saturday to try to recover nearly 100 fake guns they fear could be used in real robberies...

The guns were being used for a movie called Tropa de Elite about special units working to contain drug traffic in Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns.

In other words, fake guns were stolen from a fake activity memorializing a fake government program...

This isn't the first time we've visited Brazil here at WarOnGuns...

New Yorkers Waking Up to Bloomberg Menace

Bloomberg, like all liberals, has finally gotten around to wanting our guns.

He started out targeting illegal street guns and has now worked up to licensed guns.

Yep, his true agenda has been revealed for all to see. And as Cousin G observed when he called this story to my attention, "[I]sn't it interesting that all these pro-gun letters appear on a page with the legend 'The Gun Menace'? No media bias here..."

No, of course not. They're "authorized journalists," after all...

We're the Only Ones Thanking Heaven for Little Girls Enough

Acting on a tip, a detective with the Crimes Against Children Unit (CAC) obtained an arrest warrant Nov. 3 for Rhodes, who is a jailer with the Denver Sheriff's Department. He was arrested for investigation of sex assault on a child and aggravated incest against his two underage girls, both of which are class 3 felonies.

Monsieur Chevalier, s'il vous plait...
