Good Guys With Guns

White Settlement Church Shooting Video. Over in 6 seconds.
Texas gunman opens fire during church service, shoots 2 people before being fatally shot by 'heroic' parishioners, police say
The shooter got off two rounds. Four parishioners drew down on him. According to police, two fired on him. In the video I only see one return fire but that shot ended him. Had the parishioners not been armed as our betters prefer, how many in that church would have died before the police arrived

Walter Williams: Gun rights endangered in Virginia
Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, seeing the backlash over proposed gun control laws in Virginia, has backpedalled abit and now proposes grandfathering semi-auto weapons already in possession of Virginians as long as they register the weapons. Riiiight. Gun owners should voluntarily give the gun grabbers a list of who has the guns they will then vote to seize. Probably not gonna happen Governor Northam.

Blood Dancing in New Jersey

So Shannan, you are telling me that the gun laws in New Jersey, a State with some of the strictest gun laws in the country, were written by gun lobby? Damn I thought they were written by an anti-gun Democrat led legislature, and they still didn't keep the bad guys from getting a gun and wreaking havoc. Go pedal your Bloomberg paid for bullshit elsewhere blood dancer.

Jon Sable Freelance #34,p. 26 $27, by Mike Grell.
I'm not sure this is the case with all of Mike Grell's comic work, but my understanding is he would draw the page in pencil the ink over the pencils on mylar. I have the pencils and inks for two Batman pages where he did this. This is a two page spread done in ink on mylar. The pencils are in someone else's collection somewhere out there. The nice thing about eBay is those special opportunities sometimes appear where you get damn good art at affordable prices. This was a hell of a deal and the upside is I got a Jon Sable page for my collection.
Little Orphan Annie by Alan Kupperberg. Kupperberg was one of those artists I never really cared for. Mostly I remember his art in fill-in issues of various DC and Marvel comics. So, I was surprised how much I liked these pieces when I saw them on eBay.

We have here the inks and pencils for this piece. Kupperberg drew this page in pencil then scanned it and printed out a blue line copy of the page and inked it. This has become common practice in the comic industry. If you screw up your inks on the copy you have only to print another and start over. I guess Grell's mylar was for much the same reason.

I Approve This Message

“The scariest thing about the whole shootout what that cops thought it was a good idea to take cover behind civilian vehicles with people still in them, trying to get out of the line of fire. What cop comes up with the idea ‘I’m going hide behind this soccer mom in her van’. Who the fuck trained these guys, Hamas or Hezbollah?”

“Yeah, the more I think about that shooting the angrier I get. That could have been me or my wife or daughter in the car on the Miramar Parkway. Just sitting in rush hour traffic when Floridaman McBadgeholder decides to use your kid as a fucking meat-shield when he lets loose with his Gold Dot bukkake.”

I have quite a few problems with the Mirimar shoot out, but this pretty much sums up the biggest.

He uses his billions to buy politician and political races. His problem is he isn't hard right enough for the Left and nobody else trusts him. So spend a hundred million dollars trying to buy the Presidency. Go ahead. Piss it away. You have it to spare.
