Virgin stabbed in face

I have noticed the clear pattern of in vogue crime terms that begin in the twisted mind of some dumbass politician and get spread around by the media. We have the War on Drugs, the War on Poverty, the War on Guns, the War on Terrorism, sex offenders, and now hate crimes.

How stupid.

So some kids broke into a church, broke some stuff, made a cross, pooped on a chair, and stuck a kitchen knife into a portrait of Mary, and a bureaucrat is quick on the draw with the "hate crime" BS crime word of the day. Well good for you Captain Awesome. What a witty determination.

How about kids will be kids, just like they have for thousands of years? I'm sure at one point, two teenage cavemen pooped in their neighbor's mortar and pestle before stabbing a bone knife into a cave painting of Grothgar's mom, just for kicks. Teenagers do stupid stuff because they're teenagers. Nobody is really sure why.

Pompous bureaucrats and lawmakers get on my nerves with this stuff, like they're actually serving humanity by wordsmithing new criminal acts. Well thank you for saving the world, Jack Bauer, but how about we leave the heavy thinking to the mortals. Thanks.

Glad that went down well

Crazy Mofo walks into Pennsylvania church, pulls out a gun, and hits a Deacon in the ear with it before a bunch of dudes knock him down and take his weapon.

I'm glad he didn't manage to shoot that Deacon in the head.

BTW, church carry is legal in PA, so take that for what you will. Just because you're in the house of the Lord does not mean that crazy people won't come in. Actually, last I heard, churches welcome crazy people as they need all the help they can get.

Get your knife rights on

Aaron at Sharp, Bright, and Tactical WebMagazine brought to my attention a knife rights win in New Hampshire!

Good to go!

The 2nd Amendment is more than just firearms. Now, if they can just get blackjacks, "slung shots" (?), and metallic knuckles crossed off the list, life would be even sweeter!!

Running my mouse

About a month ago, I got a text on my crappy BlackBerry from my brother about a sighting of the ever elusive .380 autoMus Musculus in Wal-Mart. Once my wife got home from work, I made the four mile, forty five minute trip down there and sure enough, two one-hundred round boxes sat in plain view on the shelf. Thankful for good comms, I snagged both boxes - one for me, and one for my mom to help her break in her new heater.

This weekend my family and I made our way to the local gunshow, where peddlers of death and destruction were handing out AK-47s and fistfuls of money to all who dared to enter (if you didn't speak English and didn't have a driver's license, all you got was a lousy RPG). While we were there, I found .380 ammo aplenty, so I got another hundred rounds of target fodder for some close range draws, and thought what the hell, I'll buy a pack of Glaser Blues. I can't knock it if I haven't tried it.

I want to test these rounds in some stuff to see if they're all that, and so far I only fired one round to see what it would do to a gallon jug of water:



The round did exit, and if you look at the bottom of the split in the jug you can see the lead shot. It clocked in at 1,047 fps, which is about as fast as the Buffalo Bore Hard Casts that I use for carry move, although the Buffalo Bore rounds are 30 grains heavier.

I'm going to shoot more stuff with the Glasers; maybe a coyote or something. I'm not drinking the frangible koolaid, I just want to see what the fuss is about. A couple of years ago, I watched a friend shoot a Glaser Blue from a 4" .357 Magnum through five walls that we had built to shoot rifles at. The walls were built to code with drywall, and the round didn't break up at all. After that test (which I have pictures of, but still haven't posted) I am convinced that the little .223 Remington is better for blasting inside of a home in regards to self defense and minimizing penetration in walls. Most of those bullets broke into little pieces while leaving the second wall, and a 9mm went through all five without a sweat.

As for the mighty Kel-Tec, it's got several hundred rounds through it now without a hiccup. I'm really impressed with the beast. My dad noted how the shell casings were thrown twenty five feet back behind me as I was shooting; this gun doesn't play around. I'll tell you though, never in my life would I have thought that I'd be picking around in the grass for every measly .380 casing that I fired. Strange times call for strange measures.

Terrorist mountain lions

They can give the Bear Cavalry a run for their money.

The cougar was found just blocks away from an elementary school. But, no one was hurt.

Fortunately! That thing could have massacred them all!

No human has ever been attacked and killed by a mountain lion in the valley, wildlife officials said.

That is not to say that it won't happen! We need to act now!

This was ultimately a provoked attack, but the question has to be posed: what are California lawmakers doing to prevent terrorist animals from preying on our schools? Think of the children. Mountain lions were only designed for one thing: killing; so it makes sense to put up some signs around schools to keep dangerous fury things from entering the grounds and running off with someone's child.

The Predator Free School Zones Act should close this loophole.

Told ya so!

Well now, it would seem that my earlier thoughts on this stupidity came true, as Virginia has decided that as far as budget cuts go, lawn mowing is low hanging fruit.

To get this straight, if you live in one of the mentioned counties and you let your grass get too tall, the county now won't send "its agents or employees" to cut it for you because they aren't funded, but they will ask you to volunteer to do it for free! Awesome! Glad we cleared that up.

I'm sure they will still add the $100 fine, but I wonder if they will charge you "the cost and expenses . . . chargeable to and paid by the owner of such property and may be collected by the county as taxes and levies are collected?"

To that I say: Bring It On Bitches!!!!

My suburban kingdom is chock full of foreclosed on houses, which means the county has to cut all that grass as they are the title holder. If they can't even afford to pay govt' employees to do the key task in order to extort your hard earned Federal Reserve Notes via statutory fiat, they sure as hell can't afford to be penalized by John Q. Public for the same crime.

Let he who is free from sin cast the first stone. I wait patiently!

Breaking news, a Confederate flag has been spotted in Fredericksburg!!!

I still am astonished at how clueless Americans are about the Civil War in general, and the Confederate flag in particular.

There is a new movie theator in Fredericksburg, Virginia that bears a mural with both the Union flag and the Confederate flag on the outside wall. This would be the same Fredericksburg that, for a time, was the center of the Civil War, and still bears many ugly scars from that time. Really, the only reason people have ever heard of Fredericksburg is because of the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Soldiers that died there during the Civil War.

If there was a place in this country to spot a Confederate flag, or any other flag flown during the Civil war it would be here, so to hear some bumbling kid get his offense on at the mere sight of something he hasn't a clue about, in what is perhaps the most historic place for the Civil War makes my teeth chatter. What a fucking idiot.

I haven't been inside this theator yet, but I hear it's lovely, and you can order a beer. The inside of the theator has a Civil War theme, so a little heads up to all you brain washed, public educated pussies out there, you're going to see the dreaded Confederate flag in there too, so bring plenty of bleach for your eyes.

Actually, before you drag your family to my town and congest it with your fleet of Priuses, do us all a great big ass favor and order a fucking history book on the war before you pass judgement on something and make yourself look like a moron.

Up for air

Sorry about the lack of posting folks. This drive to Fairfax every day is killing me; I've added three to five additional hours on to my work day just to sit in traffic screaming at all the other cars.

Really, where in the world do all these people come from? Of all the places to screw up, why does everyone want to live here? I don't understand it. It's 42 miles from a to b, so I'm averaging about 24 mph round trip, which is probably a little more on the way there and less on the way back. There are simply too many cars on not enough road, and it gets worse every single day.

People, listen to me, stop moving to Virginia. It sucks here. It's no longer beautiful. Do yourselves a favor and find another place to destroy.

A little on the bitter side, yes.

How is everyone else doing?

High Tech terror listing

He’s laughing now. But this New York native says it isn’t funny how hard it is for him to visit his daughter, a Fox 5 producer, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. About three years ago, Harris discovered he could no longer check in for a flight online. Instead, he now must arrive hours ahead so the airlines and the Transportation Security Administration can clear him to fly.

“Harris is a very popular name. You'll look in the phone book and you'll find pages and pages and pages of Harrises", Harris points out.

If you think about this, if he's on the no fly list the every Jim Harris is on the list. I would gather that this is a problem for other people with common names as well. I found 19 Jim Harrises in Virginia Beach.

And wait til you get to the part about the 12 year old getting interrogated by TSA agents. How would you feel if that was your son? Would you stand by, or make a scene, ultimately putting yourself on the list too?

The worst part is that scumbag lawmakers want to strip the rights of people who are on the list without due process of law. Keep in mind that people on the list don't know that they're on it, and can't do anything to get off of it other than to apply for a "Redress Number" that doesn't remove you from it, but gives you something to offer to government agents instead of your body.

Touch and go

Blogging will probably be light for a week, maybe two. I may get in some phone blogging on my shitty BlackBerry (who designed the browser on this thing anyways?) during that time, and I will also strive for some real bloggy bloggy on a for really real computer early in the mornings, we'll see.

I'll be slogging up the interstate every day for the next two weeks, bumping fenders with other happy commuters on their way to earn monopoly money in DC. Work is fun!!!

HIGH POWERED assault pellet gun pistol confirmed by HIGHLY TRAINED veterinarian

And. . . .it was loaded! Duh duh duuuuuuhh.

Veterinarians have to first go to medical school, and I hear that's where they also get 1st class firearms training. Everyone knows schools of higher learnin' have constitutional gun professors on staff to pass such knowledge on to our youth.

So I kinda doubt that the man intended to kill the animal considering he shot it with a pellet pistol. To all you ignorant, loathsome journalists out there, I would appreciate it if you would stop tacking pointless terms like "high powered" onto things that you have no knowledge about. It was a freaking airgun for pete's sake, one that has a barrel like four inches long. I guess "high powered" is subjective and all, but y'all sound like pants wetting morons when you state things like that.

Yes, the guy is kinda a scumbag for killing a family pet, I agree. I do not agree with the two douchebag writers Alan Gathright and Lance Hernandez digging up dirt on the man with the obvious intent of making him out to be a villain. He did quite enough of that himself, and without the help of self righteous pricks.

Violent times in California

Sounds like it was a pretty good shootout in LA this weekend between rival gang members. Someone should have told them that it was illegal to discharge firearms in public. Fortunately, nobody was killed which leads me to believe that gang bangers can't shoot. Good.

Now, raise your hand if you think these yahoos were a) sober, and b) carrying unloaded holstered guns. Thought so. Perhaps all the Cali hippies should stop picketing Starbucks for not discriminating against regular folk, and instead direct their wrath towards businesses that rent out Hummer limousines. Who rents those things anyways? Gangsters, right? Lets stop gangsters in their tracks by banning Hummer limos.

Also, some little scumbag stabbed a bus driver to death. What possible good did that guy think would come from killing a bus driver? I generally could care less if violent scumbags kill other violent scumbags over something as trivial as colors or whatnot, but leave the working folk alone.

Never back down

Fighting men like US Navy SEALs are selected because they don't run from fights; they finish them.

So I'm not at all surprised to hear that Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class Matthew McCabe was acquitted for hitting a detainee; after all, sacrifice is the measure of credibility, and he who leaves the field of battle first loses by default. I've never heard of SEALs leaving the battlefield first, and I appreciate their determination.

Well done, fellas!

Assault with a deadly K-9

Sure, it was all an accident, and the police feel bad about siccing a dog on an innocent man, but tell me, do you think you or I would get off scott free without an aggravated assault charge, malicious wounding, or some other arbitrary stack of codes if one of us sicced a dog on the wrong person? A racoon knocks over your trash can, so you send Cujo out to investigate and he ends up peeling the scalp off of your neighbor: what do you think would happen?

How about some of that equal protection in and of the law!

Making a deposit during a withdrawal

A robber in Florida tried to rob a man at an ATM, and for his troubles got three shiny new holes put in his body by the victim.

Everybody lived through it; I'm just glad that the victim ended up without a scratch despite what sounds like a close range gunfight.

TSA workers have feelings too

Just know that the humiliation you feel when getting electronically fondled at the airport is sometimes shared by the very people who get to do the fondling.

Boo hoo!

It's about the layers of incompetence

According to the Obama administration, the airline appeared to drop the ball on Monday by not consulting an updated list when the Times Square suspect purchased his ticket. A post-9/11 requirement that airlines provide Customs and Border Protection officials with lists of passengers 30 minutes before departure kept Shahzad from leaving the country.

Obama administration officials say this is why the aviation security system has multiple layers. Emirates airlines officials did not respond to requests for comment about their role in the security lapse.

Many, many layers, you see?

It all starts with a secret list of like a Yahzillion people on the planet who may or may not want to blow up a plane. A list like the no-fly list needs to be as comprehensive as humanly possible, because you never know who may be the next terrorist; so that means at least half the country needs to be on it just to be certain that we have the right bad people, only now we need lots of government worker bees to constantly scrutinize the list to make sure we stop the terrorists at the 11th hour. Lots of oversight, baby!

The solution of course is more money! More money is needed to purchase uniforms and brass badges for the ten thousand new employees who will slave away night and day frisking babies and the elderly, just to keep them from doing anything stupid.

I guess the next thing that needs to happen is to make sure we strip the rights from those jaded people on the no-fly list so they can't buy a gun or open a bank account, because it seems that the terrorists, like Faisal Shahzad, pay for their plane tickets with cash. To stop them from getting on a plane, we must stop them from getting cash. Too easy! And who the hell would argue that barring half a million peaceable people from buying a gun isn't a small price to pay to stop one wannabe terrorist from buying one months before he tries to detonate a car bomb in a crowded city? Sssssssmart logic!! We must close the terror gap!!

Think about how crazy it is to actually let those hundreds of thousands of good people on the no-fly list purchase a firearm without so much as a body cavity check, or even a good water-boarding just to make sure that they don't "try to go out and kill some Americans;" amongst those people are the two hundred who are denied a gun purchase every year for being on a list that they can't see. Two hundred!!! These are bloodthirsty citizens, folks; they're on the secret list!

And how could they ever claim that they didn't know they were on the list? Sure, it's secret and all, but you can't claim ignorance when you're certain that you're a terrorist. When you know, you know; and those who are not terrorists that somehow make it on the list. . . .not saying that that happens or anything, but if it did and they get arrested for buying a Marlin .22 for their grandson. . . .well fuck it then - serves em' right for having a stupid name like Ben Ladden. Besides, we're talking about saving lives here!

Personally, I would also include citizens who wear underwear. Hell, we should even go as far as banning SUVs. They seem to be used a lot in attacks against the home land. Can't be too careful these days.

In case you wanted to handle a machine gun in Boston

It's Marine Week in Boston! This is about the only chance for non-criminals to hold that kind of firepower.

eNinja

Remember that ninja who slashes in the woods? Yeah. . well. . .he did it to save the trees.

Okeey Dokeey then.

I see that the machete that he used is the same crappy type available at Wal-Mart for the nominal sum of like $6. I would know because I have one. Unbelievably, Wal-Mart does not do a background check or even a simple retinal scan to determine if a customer is eligible to own one.

Ask for a warrant signed by a judge

Thugs posing as FBI ransacked a house in Georgia after pistol whipping the homeowner. It does sound like they may have kicked in the door, but all too often people willingly open their door for anyone with a shiny thing on their chest.

Always ask for a warrant, and make sure it's signed by a judge before you allow entry.

Of note, the victim's neighbor responded to the four armed intruders with a gun in his hand, and instead of a "Wild West" shootout, the scumbags instead decided that the stakes were too high and left the area in a big hurry. Who would have thought that one armed good guy would deter four armed bad guys? Weird.
