Schuyler Barbeau Gun Case Pits Principle Against Precedents

There are plenty of smears against Barbeau, notably by those who make a lucrative living off ad hominem insinuations like the Southern Poverty Law Center. There’s also no shortage of gun owners ostensibly “on our side” who will argue this isn’t the right case to back, and they’ll cite Barbeau’s own words and actions, being exploited by SPLC and others, to throw him under the bus. [More]
All the noise about the wrong guy and the wrong case aside, what this really boils down to is this: Is it a right or not?  As long as people in power can enforce infringements, what do you think?

Meet the New Neighbors



Why not take a dessert platter over and say "Howdy"? [More]

For some reason 1960s TV comedies exploiting the stereotyped hilarity of  cultural misplacement come to mind, with shows like "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Green Acres."

They, of course, wouldn't dare submit a pilot these days for "Jihadi Junction"...

Beck and Feuer Exemplify Gun-Grabbing Oath Breakers

In true Opposite Day fashion, Feuer’s and Beck’s “progressive” stance is actually one desperately clinging to the past to maintain L.A.s “may issue” permit system. That generally means “may not” as far as commoners are concerned, ensuring the only non-law enforcement citizens allowed to “legally” carry are well-connected political elites and celebrities. [More]
Funny how they use the word "dictate" to describe laws that would impede their tyrannical infringements.

We're the Only Ones Available to Start Immediately Enough

Officer Loehmann was instead fired for lying on his employment application in 2013 ... Before joining the Cleveland police force, Officer Loehmann worked for a smaller police department, in Independence, Ohio, where supervisors recommended his termination, citing instances of insubordination, lying and an “inability to emotionally function.” [More]

Think Again

For the five hundred or so Americans who die from unintentional gunshot wounds, the product safety model might make some sense.  [More]
Bull. If the product is defective, there are remedies.

To go beyond that is to cede an opening for this:
There you have it, their true goal, laid out in black and white. The only acceptable guns are those which can be handled in complete safety by fools. Forget responsibility and accountability. Forget training and judgment. Forget the fact that life is fraught with risks and benefits and tradeoffs. Forget individual freedom and inalienable rights. Unless a drooling moron can hold the gun in his toes and gnaw on the barrel and yank back on the trigger with his (presumably opposable) thumbs in utter and oblivious tranquillity, it must be banned.

CNN Guest Goes Nuts, Blames GOP for Breakdown in Civility, Implies They Support Violence [More]
Realizing after her I was "merely mocking" non mea culpa didn't work, like a coward Griffin deleted related tweets, taking all the responses telling her how full of sh!+ people think she is.

And now she's recorded an excuse-making "apology," desperately hoping that will make it all better.

Forgive and forget, right? Just like the "tolerant" left?

What is it about them and decapitated Republican presidents?

Here's the thing-- the contempt isn't just for the man-- it's for everyone who shares core values with the man. In this case, it is for millions of Americans in all those "red" areas who gave Trump an electoral victory because they were counting him doing what he promised in the campaign.

If you're one of them, that decapitation was meant for you.

We know for a fact corporate advertisers are gutless. I wonder how many will be willing to stand up to double standard accusations if they don't drop sponsorship/hosting of Griffin for everything she does in the foreseeable future?

Not 'If' But 'When'

“This will happen at some point. Plate tectonics isn’t turning off,” Jones says. “When it happens, we’re not going to have water. It’s going to take six months to get water back in all of our houses. We could lose electricity for the whole western U.S. We’re going to have no transportation. City-wide fires have the potential to burn down the city.” [More]

Star Wars

'Space Aggressors' Train US Forces for Extraterrestrial Conflict [More]
If "they" have interstellar technology, resistance probably would be futile, and instead of a war, it would be an effortless wipeout. Sorry to sound defeatist for a change, but imagine the D-Day invasion against ancient Rome, or the conflict probably being even more one-sided.

I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who postulated on the mathematical improbability of interstellar war. It went something like imagine two side-by-side stacks of postage stamps 500 feet high, representing the beginning of life on the bottom stamp and the present day on the top, and everything in between representing gradual levels of advancement.

The only possible even-sided conflict would be assuming technological development started and advanced simultaneously in both stacks and that the antagonists meet when both are at the identical level -- a stamp above or below would be the difference between a Civil War army fighting a World War I army. Two stamps difference could be the latter vs. King George's Redcoats.  You start getting three, four or five layers of difference and the technological advantage only widens.

Imagine intelligent beings with star drive hundreds of years ahead of us. Or a thousand. Or a million.

The odds against an even match are astronomical. A more likely outcome would be ants vs. you with a can of Raid.

Prediction: If we ever do avoid killing ourselves off and reaching for the stars, as would have the "space invaders," we will have developed beyond the current popular notion of doing so through a Star Trek-style "space UN." That -- and motivation via coercion --  will seem as antiquated and unrealistic as "A Trip to the Moon."

Note how technology seems to advance more quickly in an environment of more relative freedom. Me, I'd rather continue the climb from where I am than from starting at the bottom again.

The Third Way

None of this is subtle, but Quist’s break with the Democratic Party platform hasn’t produced a peep from the activist left; the gun issue wasn’t even raised before MoveOn.org decided to endorse him. Are progressives knowingly practicing hard-headed electoral pragmatism? Or, as is more likely, are they ducking a divisive and frustrating issue for as long as possible, until another horrific mass shooting produces a fresh wave of outrage? [More]
No, they're just being their usual devoid of principle lying sacks, saying and doing anything for political power.

Plastic Fantastic

Models from the world's first agency for 'modified humans' have spent $3 MILLION between them on surgery to look like characters such as a Ken doll, Britney Spears and an ALIEN [More]
Based on the pictures, I'd want my money back.

I guess it ain't right to judge pursuit of happiness, but jeez. Why does the death of the West come to mind?

I once had work done by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.

I was horsing around/wrestling with elder feral son Uday when he was about 10 or so, and decided he'd earned a tickle. Big mistake. The foot lashed out to my nose as a reflex and it sounded like chicken bones splintering -- the wife heard it clear on the other side of the house and came running.

She was crying, he was crying, everybody was crying but me, because I was busy holding him and consoling him and letting him know that it wasn't his fault and I wasn't mad at him.

Bottom line, the Beverly Hills guy is who the insurance sent me to for repair work.  It was funny walking around in public with the bandages on and both eyes bruised black and green from internal bleeding -- funny because I got some looks that registered disapproval based on the presumption that I was someone who gets into fights, and the further presumption that I lose them.

At least that's what I presumed.

I was standing in front of the mirror inspecting the damage, concerned because the dressing under my nose pushed it up like a pug, and I was afraid I wouldn't recognize myself when the bandages came off.

"He better not have made me look like Meg Ryan!" I complained, and it took a second to understand why the wife thought that was funny.

Blunder Woman

Texas Theater's Women-Only 'Wonder Woman' Screening Is Infuriating Fragile Men [More]
There's a difference between being infuriated and pointing out  hypocrisy. As for being fragile, coming from trivial "progressives" self-identifying as "too fab," that's rich.

As long as sex is a legitimate factor in voluntary commercial association, you have to wonder how fragile they'd be if, say, a Christian baker refused to produce a "gay wedding" cake.

In re the "exclusive" screening, I'd liked to have seen some monkeywrenching male patrons tell the theater they self-identify as women and dare them to refuse admittance. Now that it's over, there's nothing to stop a bunch of guys from doing the same thing though, with the restrooms at Alamo Drafthouse.  En masse.

And while we're at it, let's see how fragile the little Too Fab bitches are over this:

New York ‘Common Sense’ Gun Bill Could Get People Killed

"The prohibition would apply to pistols or revolvers manufactured twelve or more months after the effective date of the bill. Design features could include the capacity to adjust the trigger resistance of the gun to at least a ten pound pull, the capacity to alter the firing mechanism so- that an average five year old child’s hand would be too small to operate the gun, or the capacity to require a series of multiple motions in order to fire the gun."
