Well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

I am tinlakg about the general idea of this proposal and the direction of gun control as a whole. We could throw technicalities back and forth for weeks on end, but the fact remains that it’s becoming easier than ever to acquire a gun.I believe proponents who ask for specific examples to the contra in such a discussion are merely trying to evade the larger issue and use technical details and specificity to support the their own ideals and the movement toward lesser gun control.It’s also funny that folks who clamor for less gun control don’t have to give concrete examples and consequences of any kind except to say that ?they are doing it as well? and ?it seems to be working?. The conservatives however are always being asked to base their claims on absolute facts and past occurrences and may not allude to the consequences of lesser gun control, or for that matter, practically any other movement that has mass appeal.Of course, while no earth shattering event takes place in states where such measures are in place, other states will continue to adopt them as well. It’s like cancer, while the going is good, we have no idea what’s happening to us. When we finally start to feel the effects, it’s often far too late to do anything about it.The town I am tinlakg about is Rochester, MN and the shootings were related to drugs. Of course it’s debatable if such measures would have had any effect what-so-ever on whether the shootings would have taken place. But surely you see that with such a measure in place, a drug dealer could legally carry a concealed weapon to the next rendezvous point.Of course the counter argument to that would be, ?But supporters say criminals will carry concealed weapons regardless of the law, so gun restrictions only affect law-abiding citizens who want to protect themselves.?Should we no longer require licenses for driving? After all, many people drive without a license and all we are doing is affecting law abiding citizens who want to legally drive a car. I’m sure that for some time, while such a measure would only be implemented in a few places, the outlook would be great for supporters. But obviously in the long term the consequences would be disastrous.Such an obvious example is easy to see by most, but obviously gun control isn’t such an obvious example. Somebody has to get shot in order for people to realize what’s going on. Why would you legalize carrying a concealed weapon into a bar? Even with a permit and the exception of bars that prohibit this? All one does with these laws is lay the foundation for the legal, openly displayed carrying of deadly weapons.

Yeah… I guess it does. Upon further review, I conclude that I could have worded that better.

Comment on COPS used to be one of my favorite shows. by Crotalus

Crotalus — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:27:13 +0000

If it’s hard to tell the difference, it’s because the cops are the new soldiers in the War against the American Citizen.

My favorite TV show about “war” was “Combat!” At least there, it was a real war, and we had a real enemy to fight.

Comment on So, you’ve discovered a new snake? I wonder if it’s deadly. by Crotalus

Out here in the Volksrepublik of Kollyvornia, we have several rattlesnakes that vary widely in toxicity. One can probably survive a bite from the Sidewinder, that small rattler of the odd sideways motion, without hospital care and not have any permanent damage. Not wise to do, but the odds are good. Then we have Red Diamonds, Pacific, Speckled, and Western Diamondbacks, all with increasing toxicity. Finally, we end with the Mojave Rattler which has the most toxic venom of any U.S. pit viper. If you’re bitten by one of those, get to the E.R. PRONTO, or your next stop will be the morgue! So, yes, since this new snake is a viper, it’s no doubt venomous. But it may not necessarily be deadly. Further study is indicated here.

Well, George Orwell was right: some of us are more equal that others of us. And it will always be. Cries of hypocrisy will fall on deaf ears.

Comment on Rep Charles Boustany (R-LA7, my Congressweasel) calls for AG Holder to go by gator

gator — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:17:18 +0000

No doubt his replacement wouldn’t be any better… and would have plausible deniability … “It happened on the other guy’s watch.” Actually, I don’t want Holder to go anywhere. He’s become an albatross for the Obama administration, and I want him to stay right where he’s at and be held accountable, along with the rest of them.

I remember Harry for both roles. I was sad to hear of his passing.

Crotalus — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 06:13:33 +0000

This may be brutal, and I will understand if you don’t publish this, but just calling for him to go will mean he will just be replaced with one as crooked and anti-Constitutional as Holder is.

I have read that this is all kabuki theater on several blogs, and I agree. Nothing will change until the American people remind these cretins of Jefferson’s admonition that the Tree of Liberty is in desperate need of the blood of tyrants, and yes, Patriots, too.

Apparently, if you drink a lot, do a lot of coke, and crash your dad?s businesses into the ground, you can become President.
