Foolish Jihadists

Don't these ignoramuses know that guns and magazines (unless you're this guy) are illegal in DC? Heck, bring so much as an empty shell casing in and woe is you.

Interesting folks Barack wants us to shed blood for.

‘Pro-gun’ attorney general's actions match past words, not current ones

He’s so pro-gun he makes the NRA seem leftist by comparison? So why is he fighting to keep law-abiding legal aliens defenseless? [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report looks at yet another politician whose discretionary actions belie his words—not to mention his NRA rating.

We're the Only Ones Reprehensible Enough

Yo -- "Authorized Journalist/Real Reporters" Shimon Prokupecz and Jonathan Dienst:

...some capable of piercing buildings...

 Really?  You guys really wrote that?

And they "purchased guns through the internet"...?

How?

Oh, and "Some of the assault rifles were military-grade"?

Explain?

But for a Moment Let’s Enter the Wingnut World

OK, but just for a moment.  Any more than that will make my head spin. This loopy broad sounds like she actually believes her own line of manipulated statistics BS.  [More]

A few incidents within a smaller population will yield a higher RATE than many incidents within a larger population. And we can further break things down in terms of neighborhoods and demographics and pesky things like legality and...

But if we're going to stick with homicide rates, and if the problem really is the guns, I wonder what we'd find if we sampled what is arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet...

That Mary Sanchez looks about like a humorless ogress, doesn't she?  I can just picture her in a Mao suit, with that red star fatigue cap he wore...

What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate

“But yes, that’s the beginning of the semester,” it said. “I’m always optimistic. By October, I’ll be wanting to get up to the top of the bell tower with a high powered rifle — with a good scope, and probably a gatling gun as well.” [More]

I understand that the guy being an instructor and all makes such a post questionable, but this looks like hoplophobia writ large.  I find it hard to believe this is not just hyperbole and dark humor, and could have easily been resolved as such just by talking to the guy.

I mean c'mon, do these people have any idea, first, how expensive it would be to acquire a Gatling gun and then what it would take to haul it to the top of a bell tower?

Yeah, OK, in today's era of everybody in academia being an hysterical wuss with the vapors, I see where posting this on Facebook was poor judgement, but my biggest beef with the guy is that a communications professor should have capitalized the "g" in Gatling.

What we have here seems more than a failure to communicate.  What we have here is a chilling warning on what we can and cannot say on social media.  It seems to me the bigger danger is having the state automatically respond by sending in men with guns, prepared to kill us if we cross an arbitrary threshold between joke and threat.
