Richard Ford’s Gun Problem

That's what it is. [More]

All those words notwithstanding, that's all it is.

What Sort, Indeed?

What you've got to ask is what sort of cravenly person wastes invective on me? [More]

A sadist/psychopath, Mike. An infiltrator/disruptor. Tellingly, someone who needs to, which means you're actually the one who has power over him. And yes, absolutely, a coward who must hide, because he knows what he is and is terrified others will see.

Such a demon-haunted creature cannot be happy or loved, or even genuinely liked. Talk about pathetic.

Nor is anonymity for perpetuity something anyone can count on. Trolls have been unmasked in the past and those hunting them are getting better at it, developing new capabilities and tools.

I doubt that headcase is sophisticated enough to cover his tracks against someone who knows what he's doing. They've stepped up to the plate before: perhaps your friends can help with retaining a consultant.

I wouldn't be surprised if, some day, you'll be able to buy software to do the job.

UPDATE-- the comments troll continues to crave attention. I said he's done here, and he is, but this one is too rich to pass up-- just received this:

You solicited multiple federal crimes on behalf of a third party. You should call a lawyer. That's black letter RICO. All that remains is to see how bad the USJD wants to seat a grand jury and destroy you. "DONE" was you the instant you posted your open solicitation for retaliation for a comment not made on your blog. You might slip by this one. Then again maybe not. But the Federals hate you, and Federal vengeance never sleeps. Sooner or later, they'll come for you.

Laughing at you here, you fool, but just to throw your pathetic ignorance back in your face, go for it: Tip 'em off: https://tips.fbi.gov/.

I "confess" that I meant everything I wrote above. I am offering a thousand dollars as the bounty to the first person who turns me in for this, to be paid upon my conviction on "black letter RICO" charges for what I wrote here. Anyone else reading this who wants to see me "DONE," feel free to forward this post link to the FBI, as I am certain puss boy here doesn't have the guts to do anything more than make ignorant, anonymous noise.

Like I said, pathetic.

Matter of fact, hold on a sec --  I'll snitch on myself, and the thousand will go to the troll on my conviction, provided he publicly identifies himself and proves he's the one.  I'll be right back.

May the Farce Be with You

College goes on lockdown after light saber mistaken for gun [More]

They had a bad feeling about that.

Damn hoplophobes keep endangering lives with their ignorant fantasies.

Teach Your Children Well

Over three dozen new teams will take part in the 2016 Minnesota State High School Clay Target League! [More]

This is a good first step. But it's gotta be more than liking to shoot.

Lon Horiuchi likes to shoot.

We're the Only Ones F***ing Enough

“Inscripted on the officer’s gun, and I hate to use profanity, but it said, “you’re f*****,”’ Laney Sweet, Daniel Shaver’s wife said. [More]

Guess what he meant by "Assume the position!"...

Speaking of Fundamental Transformation

A fifth of the troops want a socialist to be CINC, including 16% of officers. [More]

Incremental Cultural Terraforming

State lawmakers on Thursday advanced a measure that they say would protect the state’s hunting tradition in the face of out-of-state transplants who might not appreciate it. [More]

After they fouled their nest so badly it became unlivable, they set out to foul the nest of others who have lived more cleanly, and to insist on remaking it to accommodate their demands.

Get good and used to it. This is just a hint of the "fundamental transformation" that will take place after the cultural terraforming to accommodate foreign transplants is complete.

We're the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough

A how-to video on making meth turned up online and it was made by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. [More]

Kind of adds new meaning to "thin blue line," does it not?

Booby Strap

I was expecting blades or something to spring out. [More]

It's not that these don't have a "legitimate thwarting purpose." I'm just leery of one-size-fits-all gimmicks substituting for mindset, awareness, preparation, training, skill and options. In the past we've seen what happens when those take a back (front?) seat to gadgetry.

We've also seen ludicrous proposals that avoid doing everything but what is needed, like shocking panties, and this indispensable accessory for women (and anti-gun males!) on the go. And don't even get me started on Porcupine Girl.

Yes, by all means, this can be a useful accessory in a variety of situations. Just be aware that many locales have "progressive" edicts that favor you getting killed over you being armed, even with a knife or spray.

What these folks really ought to do is reach out to Knife Rights and see what kind of mutual interest synergy can develop.

Taking a Powder

Did they see if it was postmarked "Des Moines"?
