"The Only Thing I Injected Her With Was My Fist"


"The only thing I injected her with was my fist," he joked.
Ha ha. Great joke, Sly, domestic abuse and beating women! That's the kind of stuff from which "prohibited persons" are made, thanks to the Lautenberg Amendment. But it does kind of explain why you might be against women having any kind of equalizer...

Add to this the HGH abuse to buff you into animal size, and ol' Rocky Balbozo's fist could do quite a bit of damage there.

The good news is, "Rambo" came in behind "Meet the Spartans." The bad news is, our culture is debased enough to reward either of these "efforts."

In the furtherance of my often-stated "any chair in a bar fight" philosophy, I would encourage you to help me apply some leverage to further complicate this oaf's ability to profit off the citizenry he would disarm. So I'm asking people to help me recruit an unlikely ally, but one with the clout to make this happen, the National Organization for Women:



I urge you to send them your own email along these lines.

Tennessee Treason

SECTION 4.
(a) All handgun and assault weapon ammunition manufactured or sold in thestate after January 1, 2009, shall be coded by the manufacturer.
(b) No later than January 1, 2011, all non-coded ammunition for the calibers
listed in this act, whether owned by private citizens or retail outlets, shall be disposed.

Tyrant wannabes in the Tennessee legislature are going for an ammo grab, in this case, Memphis Mandarins Reginald Tate and Larry Miller.

Here are the links for SENATE BILL 3395 and its counterpart, HOUSE BILL 3245. You can track status of the bills here.

They want to require etching "identifiers" on "the base of the bullet projectile"--and note it says "all," so .22 ammo sold in blocks is evidently not exempt. Then note requirements for a manufacturer's registry, a vendor's registry, mandates for investigations by the TBI, and staffing and maintaining a database--nothing that will stop one violent criminal from using noncompliant ammunition in a stolen firearm...

Can you imagine a more foolish squandering of financial resources at a time when Tennesseans are struggling to keep their jobs and their houses, or law enforcement resources when they can't prevent crime already without sidelining personnel on this nonsense?

Oh but that's OK, because there's "No fiscal note for the bill!"

That's because the overlords envision an "end user fee":

SECTION 7.
(a) The cost of establishing and maintaining the ACSD shall be funded by an end-user fee. Vendors shall charge an additional one half cent ($.005) per bullet or round of ammunition to the purchaser.
(b) There is established the coded ammunition fund for deposit of the end-user fees described in this section. Moneys in the fund, upon appropriation, shall be available to the TBI for infrastructure, implementation, operational, enforcement, and future development costs of this act.

And, of course, if half a cent is good, why in a few years, a whole cent will be even better! Besides, costs are going up and gun owners are outnumbered and generally despised by our urban constituencies--why not go for even more?

I wonder how many ammunition makers are going to just pull up stakes? And the "All" caveat seems to rule out handloading, or at least I don't see an exemption that states for certain at what threshold of production a self-producer becomes a "manufacturer"...

I also don't see any provisions for out-of-state "sportsmen" bringing tourist dollars in to hunt and shoot. I suppose setting up traps for them can also be a good source of revenue...

Question for all you "law abiding" Tennessee gun owners, the only people this bill will affect (that is, the ones not responsible for the problems): When they order you to surrender your non compliant ammo a little under three years from now, are you going to give it to them?

I don't know the chances this abomination has of passing--but I do know Tennessee is the state that inflicted Al Gore on the rest of us, and the urban representation seems just as unabashedly Marxist as anywhere else. Were I a Tennessean, I'd be on the horn to my representative at opening of business tomorrow morning, and I'd follow that up with a letter and an email.

We're the Only Ones Friendly Enough

An off-duty police officer who was shot to death in downtown White Plains early Friday evening appears to have been a victim of friendly fire...

Ridley was not in uniform...
I just can't figure out why "The Only Ones" would have assumed this particular man out of uniform to automatically be a threat...

I also can't figure out why some in the population buy into the disarmament con job, especially when noting how such practices have been employed in the past.

Letting Go of Our Defenses

In fact, the general prosperity of the United States, lasting more than half a century, has coincided with the destruction of traditional moral values, the breakdown of the family, a weakening of community, the degradation of intellectual culture, the fraud of our public schools, and the splintering of American culture. The most basic political questions are no longer asked or answered by politicians. Since the country became a shopping mall regime, politics has been about the redistribution of income with the assumption of ongoing prosperity. In other words, we have sacrificed our children’s future, our national security and our common sense to the shopping mall gods – to hedonism and a destructive series of assaults on authority (i.e., patriarchy). As a nation, Americans have turned to hedonism, solipsism and narcissism.
Good synopsis of the way things are, the way "we" have allowed them to become in "our" quest for expediency and the easy way out. No wonder people of the character described here do not see the need for soberly assuming the responsibilities of free men.

Ron Paul Campaign on Iraq Withdrawal

One of the objections against supporting Ron Paul some have given in previous post comments is his pledge that he would "immediately withdraw" from Iraq. Their fear is this would cause chaos and death, as withdrawals done with proper attention to details take time.

This is a statement the campaign emailed to me yesterday:
Dr. Paul would rely on the advice of the JCS to develop and implement a withdrawal plan. Far be it for him to micromanage such an operation.
