When I came out into the kitchen yesterday morning, this is what I saw on the kitchen table.
The Complementary Spouse is a crafter. She was putting patches on a jeans purse that she was repairing for her older daughter. She needed some extra weight to hold the patches in place while the glue cured and boxes of handgun ammo provided just the right amount of weight.
So if your significant other is complaining about how much space your ammo cache is taking up, just show them this picture and suggest that it can be used for many things including arts and crafts.
This gun show loophole/background checks issue is one area that needs fixing. But another is required education and training before you can own a gun. Arizona has nothing, zip. Most states don’t. I decided to ask an expert so I contacted Ladd Everitt, Director of Communications for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and asked the following question: “Can you tell me the average gun training/education a gun owner is required to have?”
Calling Ladd Everitt an expert on gun laws is such an oxymoron that it borders on incomprehensible.
Mr. Dunning is a bit to the left of Mao and Lenin and is extremely anti-gun rights. His non-Examiner blog, Nasty Jack, makes that pretty clear. If you have been banned by Daily Kos and you’re not a conservative, that says something!
In the last couple of weeks, a supposed gun blog appeared out of nowhere saying it was going to be the new paradigm. I think it was called Choke and Blunder or something like that. Part of the marketing campaign for this blog included insulting well-known bloggers, setting up “profiles” for nonexistent (and unwilling) participants, and posting many over-the-top comments when criticized. Suspicion has grown that this is a false-flag operation run by one of the gun prohibitionist organizations.
Thanks to some enterprising souls who shall remain nameless, a parody of this suspect blog has now appeared.
The parody blog, Smoking Blunder, can be found here. Share this link with your friends.
While the picture of Alan Gottlieb holding the check from the City of Chicago is wonderful in its own right, these “demotivators” take it just that one step further. They were done by Brandon Combs of the Calguns Foundations and are used with his permission.
Let’s face it, the gun prohibitionists are a humorless lot who turn their patrician noses up at what the rest of us find funny. Imagine their consternation over a series of ads being aired by PRK Arms of Fresno, CA that spoof puppy adoption and male enhancement ads. You can hear the ads here or here. From the transcript at HotAir.com:
“They’ve been mistreated and misunderstood for generations,” the ad begins. “Abusive owners have done severe damage and given these beautiful creatures a bad reputation.”
“You can make a difference by giving a gun a loving home,” the ad says. “These guns want nothing more than to adore and protect you. So, please, have a heart. … PRK Arms has the kinds of guns that need a loving home more than anything else — like AK-47s, Glocks and the biggest selection of AR-15s in Fresno.”
And from this TV report, it sounds like the ads are working. Sales have never been better according to the store’s owner.
You just knew that any gun store called PRK Arms as in People’s Republic of Kalifornia had to have a sense of humor. Given the gun laws in California, a sense of humor – and a donation to the CalGuns Foundation – may be the only thing that lets you deal with it.
Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) released a humorous video aimmed at Attorney General Eric Holder and his definition of a lie. It comes from when he was asked the question by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) during the Dec. 8th House Judiciary Committee hearing.
This tip comes from the podcast Zen Tiki Lounge which deals with all things Tiki.
If you live in an area that is subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes, make sure your home bar has one or two bottles of booze that come in plastic bottles. That way, even if all the other bottles fall off the shelf and break, you will still have something with which to drown your sorrows and get you through the cleanup.
Remember even if you live along the East Coast, you can have earthquakes as we saw earlier this year.
I think I’ll stop by the ABC store this morning! There is nothing like being prepared.
