An Excellent Idea!

I sent Netflix's purchasing department a request to stock "In Search of the Second Amendment" and included a link to Mr. Hardy's website. If anyone else with a Netflix account would like to request it as well, here is the link (also can be found under "Contact Us"):

I like it. Please, everybody, take a minute to send a comment.

Take two: Here's Netflix arch-rival Blockbuster's contact link:

Walkin' the walk here. Note I gave Blockbuster a fake phone number--there is absolutely no legitimate reason for them to ask for one.


UPDATE:

Which Three Laws?

From WarOnGuns correspondent (and Red's cap donor "Sam"):

In reference to the Gresham/Smith YouTube debate question you posted, I would like to see a post of your thot's on which 3 laws you think should go. I can't get my mind around the subject to answer. I need a more informed opinion.

This reminds me of the end of "The Time Machine," where Filby finds George has returned to the future after having taken three books from his library. There are many books, so it's impossible to tell which were taken, but they will be used to rebuild human civilization in a degenerate future.

"Which three would you take?" he asks Mrs. Watchett, the housekeeper (and, in effect, the movie audience).

I have a bit of the same dilemma with citizen disarmament laws, but since Sam didn't give me the option to say "all of them," here are my picks and reasoning:

GCA '68, which infringes on the majority of firearms transactions.

The Brady Act, and all requirements for a background check as a prior restraint to exercising a right.

FOPA '86 proscriptions against civilian ownership of full-auto firearms manufactured after May, 1986, and its redefinition of parts as a firearm. Why not NFA '34? Because I don't consider a tax as slammed shut of a door as an outright ban on ownership.

There are plenty of others--I'd love to get rid of the National Parks ban, gun-free school zones, Lautenberg...but these are the three I consider the ones that do the most damage.

Feel free to disagree in "Comments" and educate us all.

Looks Like Guns Aren't the Only Thing They Grab

The Illinois Auditor General released a 28-page audit of the CeaseFire violence prevention group detailing misappropriation of funds, receiving money outside of the parameters of payment agreements and having work started by its partners without written agreements.

Third Power has the details.

High Goon

That last post about "High Noon" got me to remembering Grace Kelly, possibly the most beautiful woman ever (aside from you, Honey!!!)

I was playing around the other day trying to give the family another reason to make fun of me and came up with this:



I trust you're laughing with me, not at me? No...?

Well, at least Grace adores me.

High Noon

Do NOT depend on me to save YOU.

Mike H reminds us of the lesson of Will Kane.

Because of its rarity, it's gratifying to see a "writer, actor, producer" who gets it. I've known four in "the industry" now, and one of them, sadly, is no longer with us.

"Real Solutions"

Rather than calling for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, the report should have focused its efforts on real solutions to preventing crime.

"Real solutions" like not infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms on all school campuses?

Because I haven't heard you call for that yet, Wayne, and your "few days" are up. I've heard you speak against people bearing arms on school grounds. I've heard you squelch those within your sphere of influence who've suggested changing that.

Is it still "too soon", as if demanding the right to defend human life can rightfully be deemed exploitative? Deemed by whom, and why should the opinion of anyone that evil or ignorant matter?

Your recommended "pause," you tell us, a "frankly...doesn't hurt anyone."

Are you waiting until it does?
