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.

Yeah, Nice, But I Won't Hold My Breath

Bill Would Roll Back Prohibition-Era Gun Rules
I don't want to sound defeatist but with the Democrats having control of the House there is a snow balls chance in hell this will even get out of committee. Considering how much help we got from the GOP when they had control of the House, I wouldn't hold my breathe even if Trump won a second term and the GOP retook the House. They keep stabbing us in the back.

They Always Claim "There Will Be Blood in the Streets"...

Good Luck With That

Not.
Giffords Launches Campaign To Block Trump Judicial Nominee
Trump is mostly getting the judges he wants confirmed. I don't expect that to change short of his leaving office.

Bloomberg Pushes More Useless, Stupid Ideas on 'Gun Control'
He say's he taken on the NRA and "won". The difference between the NRA and Mikey Bloomberg is he does what everyone accuses the NRA of doing. 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.

Oh. Hell. No.

Exclusive–Nancy Pelosi Joining Ted Cruz, Lawmakers Criticizing Big Tech Legal Immunity’s Inclusion in USMCA
They need to be held MORE responsible not less on there content moderation. I prefer they go in the other direction and require less moderation. We have more to fear from their shenanigans during election time than we have ever had from the Russians' tampering. Just saying...
