Rolleyes News of The Day

[SteveW]

Unless you're killing somebody by accident (like a car wreck) or in self defense, it pretty much has to be a crime of hate. I don't know why skin color automatically qualifies murder as a special "hate crime", and mostly in one direction.

White guy kills a while guy. Never a hate crime. Ever.

Black guy kills a black guy. Ditto.

Average white guy kills an average black guy. Good chance of it being labeled a hate crime.

Average black guy kills an average white buy. Murder. Maybe a hate crime based on the killer's history. (pretty much how the hate crime term is supposed to work)

My point exactly.

I say, jolly good show.

I just bought my first gun. First time I've ever had to sign my middle name. Other than that, it was painless save for the pricetag.

I don't know what kind of background check they did on me, but the clerk at the Sheriff's office took my drivers license and stared at a computer for about 10 minutes.

Yeah, it's painless. I just wish more people would actually do it. I own a Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 21S (AR-15 pistol), a SIG SAUER P250, and as of Wednesday a Centry Arms WASR-10 (classic style AK47, semi, but with polymer pistol grip instead of wood). I don't plan to stop there. I plan to get as much done as possible in terms of the "assult weapons" and "high capacity" magazines, since our next president will likely be a gun banning nazi. Don't even get me started on the propaganda war against certain weapons based on cosmetic features liberally branded "assult". News for the sheep: It doesn't matter if a weapon looks like a hunting rifle or an assault rifle. Both will kill if used improperly. I don't get why it's so much better to allow some weapons that can kill you in one try than others that can do the same. It can't seriously be a safety issue...unless people are so stupid that their brains collapsed into black holes long ago. And yes, there's a science joke there as well--"information" can go in but never come out again.

We've been on a huge political kick lately. Let's try to go after some goofy news again.

THIS is how to celebrate Father's Day...

[Fluff n Stuff]

...and the ants were crawling over the charred timbers I'll bet.

[Fluff n Stuff]

Here's a Court Case to keep Jim happy 'nStuff... and it's certainly odd enough for Tbird, IMHO.

[Fluff n Stuff]

Lulu, the heroic 'Roo. ( I wasn't aware that Kangaroos could bark. I've GOT to get out more...)

[Fluff n Stuff]

Need to relax a bit? Get out of the office, see the counrtyside... it's Spring, and the views are extraordinary!

[Fluff n Stuff]

BTW, Tbird... which configuration did you get on the 250? I'm seriously thinking about that short barreled .40 set up, but nobody out here has the grips available for a test, so I'm not sure which one would be best. I've got a p226, and I love it... just a tad large for Concealed Carry during the summer months 'nStuff.

[TBird761]

I'm not sure if the large frame is available yet. I also don't know if the .40 or .357 SIG conversion kits are out. I've got the 9mm compact.

I have provided four high resolution images for you to get a good look at it. It is small and would be good for CC or OC, but it isn't a midget that won't even fit in your hand either.

No big surprise here... just some more elected politicians taking advantage... getting favors... breaking the law with impunity... call it what you like... http://www.portfolio.com/news-market...e-Loan-Scandal

As a sidenote, its always been amazing to me how the payoffs for favors have usually been so small... pennies on the dollar.

It's about pointless, bull$hit, FEELGOOD legislation - something the liberals excel at.......

My personal favorite, for home defense (backup for my three dogs):

Hey, that's pretty spiffy!

Anyone breaking into my joint might find this can ruin their day pretty fast:



Only 21" from tip to tip and weighs 3.25 pounds.

Ever consider a semi-auto shotgun for defensive purposes in case a quick follow-up is needed?
