Bloomberg's plan

It’s easy to dismiss Bloomberg and his bots as more of the Brady and VPC goofballs. Probably not a good idea as evidenced by this road map to more gun control. In essence he ignoring Congress and using the regulators. He’s a billionaire. You don’t get there and stay there by being stupid. He's persistent and a prick but he thinks long-term. That's scary.

M-41A Pulse Rifle

Here's a video of of a weapon modeled to look like the M-41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens. Kinda neat.

Just amazing...

A 10 year old girl in NY is suspended for bringing a bottle of peppermint oil to school. The label read keep out of the reach of children. Unfuckingbelievable and another example of zero tolerance at work.

Seriously?

A teacher in MA writes about guns in schools and says a couple of things that would damn sure cause me to take my kids to anywhere he wasn’t teaching.

An alternative to lockdown is immediate exodus via announcement. Although this removes potential hostages and makes it nearly impossible for the shooter to acquire preselected targets, it unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others.

And…

But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.

He rather all the children be at risk than save a few because its unfair to the less resourceful and he’d rather his child, and by extension, other people’s children die rather than use a gun to defend them. His ideals are more important than the life of a child?

And this git still has a job?

UPDATE: Some people are convinced the letter was satire. Maybe so.

The system worked.

Would that be the system that put the bomber’s name on a list after his daddy outed him to the US embassy in Nigeria but didn’t prevent him getting on a plane with a bomb? Would that be the system in Amsterdam that let him board an aircraft with a bomb in his drawers?

The system worked?

My ass you stupid bint. The fact that you would or could even say something like that and keep a straight face indicates you should seek job opportunities on a used car lot or Jim Baker's old pulpit. Oh sorry, under this Administration government service suits you fine. You fit right in.

CY and Ace do it a bit more justice than I.

That system just said that those people aren’t supposed to buy guns, but those people lie a lot - Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign

Pot, kettle...what a dick.

As for the article the quote came from...its just your usual, garden variety, anti-gun propaganda. Nothin' new there.

H/T to Sebastian.

What we've come to expect...

...from the nanny state that was once Great Britain? That some are raising hell gives me some hope for them.

H/T to Stranger.

Hah!

Now this is funny.

Thanks to the Cajun.

But for the grace of God....

We were on our way to a family get-together when this guy in a VW merged in front of a Buick and almost got smacked in the rear because of his carelessness and general disrespect for other drivers. The lady driving the Buick cussed him out, flipped him the bird, tailgated him, then zipped around him like a crazed stunt driver while snapping pictures of his car. I had a white knuckle grip on the arm rest and dash while I prayed to survive the next few moments. The driver of the Buick was my wife.

Al Franken is a...

...flaming asshole and a bully. He only acting true to form. I don't see that getting elected to the Senate has made a difference in his attitude. The people of Minnesota must be soooo proud.

Heh!

Shades of Calvin and Hobbes.

A hunting we shall go...

Senator Charles Schumer went hunting with his Senator Ben Nelson. Too bad Dick Cheney didn't join them...

Seriously Charlie, you're not fooling anyone. We all know you're of the guns for me but not for thee school of thought. So what are you trying to pull?

H/T to David.

Today in History

1776 – George Washington takes his army across the Delaware River to Trenton, New Jersey and kicks Hessian butt.

Schumer: no post vote back lash.

"This is a happy day. (Senate Republican Leader) Mitch McConnell said on the floor that we're going to go home and hear our constituents rail against this bill. I don't believe that. I believe that the negativity that Leader McConnell and others have continually displayed on the floor has peaked, and now when people learn what's actually in the bill—and all the good it does—it is going to become more and more popular because it is good for America, good for the American people, and a true symbol of what we can do if we all pull together," said Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer.

So let's see you Dems test that theory with a few town hall meetings: real ones with an open forum and no SEIU thugs present. Please. I dare you.

Tis the Season...

... so Merry Christmas to one and all.
