Light Posting Continues

I posted a few quick thoughts for today, but as I've said a few times, things are going to be sporadic and light for the rest of this week. Please understand if you've emailed me and I haven't responded. It's not because I don't love you any more...

I'll try to check in every day, but no guarantees. Meanwhile, I've put a ton of work into the archives on this site--go explore some rooms.

Keeping the Story Straight

They think that the government will come in and use the list to confiscate weapons and that making the names of gun-permit holders public will be a 'shopping list' for the criminals," Lawlor said. "That's really kind of weird when you think about it. Frankly, those would be the places they would want to avoid — places where they know someone has a gun and knows how to use it."

No, you wormtongued traitor--here's what's "really kind of weird": Fascists demanding the government invade the privacy of their countrymen, treating citizens exercising a right like registered sex offenders, threatening their safety by identifying who and where they are, particularly if they obtained their permits and moved to protect themselves from a specific threat...

Meanwhile, you lying sack, you're working one end of the Brady squeeze play with this absurd lie, while your unindicted co-conspirators back at Command Central directly contradict you:

Gun theft. Stolen guns are a key source of guns used in crime.

So which is it? Are homes with guns places criminals "want to avoid" or are they "key sources"?

I guess when you constantly lie to advance your political agenda, it's tough making sure everyone gets their stories straight.

Oh, and while you're at the title link, take a minute and take their poll.

Quebec Wants Tougher Gun Laws

Of course they do.

Yeah, force people to leave all their guns in one place--there's an idea. What could possibly go wrong?

And note the "divide and conquer" tactic of excluding Fudd guns. Remember that the next time some "sportsman" or writer tells you what you "don't need to hunt with"--they are either intentionally or ignorantly giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

If You Repeat Something Often Enough

Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine has moved quickly to close a loophole ...

The loophole in Virginia's gun law was so wide...

Governor Kaine has now closed the loophole ...

Somehow, you never hear the "authorized journalists" referring to incremental infringements of the right to keep and bear arms as "loopholes," do you? Maybe that's because those holes are so gaping you could drive a tank through them.

This Day in History: May 7

On May 7, during the Charleston Expedition of Gen. Henry Clinton, Fort Moultrie surrendered to the British without firing a shot. Most of the fort's garrison had been evacuated earlier before the British arrived.
