Who’s Steering This Ship FCS?

 

 

Denver Post:  Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette has been the lead sponsor on a federal ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines in two Congresses, saying it’s one of her top priorities.  But Tuesday at a Denver Post forum on the gun control debate, the senior congresswoman from Denver appeared to not understand how guns work.

Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said:

“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

What she didn’t appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets. According to the Shooter’s Log, only early on were magazines for AR-15s designed to be disposable, but the military changed that and now magazines are used several times. In handguns, a magazine is designed to be reused hundreds of times.

 

Ayfkm right now?  AYMFKM?  Just to be clear:  “What she didn’t appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets.”  A magazine, like the ones used in AR-15 rifles – the ones that kind of hang off the bottom and are shaped like a banana – are basically curved boxes with a spring at the bottom.  In a semi-automatic, when you fire a round (bullet), the spring pushes the next round up into the rifle for the next trigger pull/shot.  When there aren’t any rounds left, the mag is empty (natch).  But you don’t f8cking throw it away fcs.  You pop it out, and if you want, you fill it up again.  It works very much like a gas tank in your motherf*cking automobile.  When you run out of gas, you fill it up with more gas for the love of Pete, you don’t replace it with a full gas tank god damn it.  Christ (nsp) allf8ckingmighty.

 

I will admit that I don’t agree with most of the gun control legislation that’s coming out, but I promise you, I’m open to a discussion.  And I’m really not even close to being a gun expert.  On the other hand, if you don’t even know how “ONE OF YOUR TOP PRIORITIES” actually works, how can you be allowed in the f*cking room?!  Get out!  GET FUCKING OUT!  This woman is in Congress!  Lifetime ban on drunk driving and murder charges!  She’s voting on important shit!

 

 

Nike: Just A Really Classy, Classy Operation

One presumes they mean "Just Go For a Run" and not "Just Go Kill Your SO..."

 

By being arrested for killing his model girlfriend (and we don’t mean “perfect” girlfriend but girlfriend who is – heh, sorry, “was” - a smoking hot model) he joins Nike’s esteemed group of ALLEGED cheaters, murderers, and dog killers who are proud to bear the Swoosh (tm I think):  Apolo Ohno, Lance Armstrong, Michael Vick, and now South African olympic bouncer Oscar Pistorius, who was arrested this week for shooting his girlfriend dead while in his apartment.  I wonder what the gun regs are like in South Africa.  Anyway, RIP, Reeva Steencamp, we ‘ardly knew ye’:

 

Yes.

YES.

Yes, of course. But is this even her?

Rest Easy, Legal Gun Owners

That should pretty much clear up any concerns you have, problem solved!

 

ps – While you were watching porn the football game this weekend:

Washington Post:  The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation’s gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration’s discussions.

This Can’t Be Right: Chicago Gun Deaths Are Up, Not Down?

 

Come 'n' Get It.

Weekly Standard:  In 2012, 532 people were murdered in the city of Chicago, according to statistics compiled by the Crime in Chicago website. The number of people murdered the year before was 441…  The website also claims that, through December 25, 2012, there 2,670 people were shot in Chicago last year. That’s also an increase from the year before, when 2,217 people were shot in Chicago that year.

In all, it means that on average almost 1.5 people were murdered in Chicago each day last year, while on average 7.3 people were shot each day.

 

Well this can’t be true at all, because Illinois already bans concealed carry (and open carry in most instances) and Chicago demands that gun owners get a Firearm Permit, and register EACH gun with the CPD.  With such strict gun laws, who in the world is still shooting each other 7.3 times per day?  No no, the media must have this story wrong.

Let’s get back to wondering when BiBi Jones is coming back to Alex’s Gentlemen’s Club, shall we?

NFL’s Murder Story: Personal Accountability Might Go A Long Way If We Bother To Let It

Not my fault!

 

NBC sports anchor Bob Costas channeled his inner Edward R. Murrow and Howard Cosell during halftime of last night’s Sunday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, calling for stricter gun control in the wake of Saturday’s murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.

‘In the coming days, Jovan Belcher’s actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.”

 

Bob Costas thinks that, were it not for the fact that Jovan Belcher owned a gun, he and his girlfriend would be alive now.  I’m not going to argue gun rights here. (But if he had any balls he’d just come out and say “We should ban all guns from existence and give Iran the list of gun owners in the United States.”)  My question is, whatever happened to fucking (spelled out) personal responsibility?  Here are a few details I’ve gleaned from various sources about this very sad story:

1.  Jovan Belcher had money problems.

2.  Jovan Belcher had a three-month old baby with his girlfriend.

3.  Jovan Belcher drove a Rolls fing Royce.

4.  Jovan Belcher spent some of the night before he murdered his significant (arguable) other getting drunk with another woman.  Or women, hard to tell.

5.  For at least part of the night before he became a murderer, Jovan Belcher slept in his Rolls Royce, parked outside this other woman’s house.

6.  Jovan Belcher was paid approximately $1 million (pre tax, probably pre-vampire-agent) over the previous three years.

7.  Jovan Belcher secured a $1.9 million (ptppva) contract to play for the Chiefs this year.

8.  Chiefs management knew about some of JB’s problems before he murdered someone.

9.  Jovan Belcher owned at least one and possibly a bunch of guns.  (legally from what I understand)

 

All of those details, and Bobby “I ruined the Olympics for millions of fans” Costas decides that the most significant item is his ownership of guns?  That reminds me of the times when a newspaper article says “An SUV today plowed into a bunch of nuns at a soup kitchen and killed them all.”  Oh really?  An SUV did that?  No driver?  No responsible human had anything to do with that? 

I grew up in some pretty f-ed up fundamentally religious foreign countries.  In one of those, if an expatriate got into a car accident with a foreign national, and it was the FN’s fault, the defense would be – and I’m not sh1tting you here – “The accident would never have happened if you weren’t living in our country.  Case dismissed.”    And then the expat would be deported back to the States or whatever country he* was from.  Same deal when a young American girl was raped by a foreign national while I was there:  “Oh, you shouldn’t have been here, then it wouldn’t have happened.  Now get out of our country you dirty whore.”

When we excuse irresponsibility by foisting the blame onto inanimate objects or nebulous entities like “society” (or “god”), we wind up condoning decisions that lead to that behavior by implying that the people responsible for those actions are helpless to avoid them.  But they’re not helpless, for chrissakes.  A hundred (a thousand?) choices led him to that dark place, but we ignore those because it allows us to avoid more difficult questions.

Instead of excusing the behavior from your soapbox, Bob, why not challenge young men to step up:  ”Be a f-ing man.  Make choices that lead you to be proud of youself.  Take responsibility for your decisions, even the wrong ones.”

F!

Gunshot Victim Saved By Her Giants Fake Breasts

They just might save your life, is what I'm trying to say.

 

KSEE:  A Canadian woman has her breast implants to thank for saving her life in a shooting committed by her ex boyfriend.  Eileen Likness, of Calgary, testified at the trial of her ex-boyfriend Wednesday that if it weren’t for her surgically enhanced breasts, she would have been seriously hurt or even killed.  ‘My implants took the brunt of the force.’

The victim explained that when Fernando Chora, 61, fired his 9mm handgun at her, a bullet grazed her right arm before piercing both her breast implants and left forearm.  Likness said the projectile, which entered her right breast, grazed her chest plate and exited her left breast, destroying the silicone implants.

 

 

I’m going to make this short and sweet because I’m lazy busy.

1.  Good call on making that 61 year old geezer your “ex.” 

2.  It will not be long before our government mandates breast implants as safety devices.  No judgment on this one.  How can you argue with the validity of this data?!

3.  Haha, crazy Canadians.  (And you can shove your pacifist accusations about gun-totin’ cowboys in the States up your collective ass.)

 

I Strongly Recommend That You Consider Stealing From Someplace Other Than Josephine County, Oregon

Hombre on the left wants to kill someone, and Mr. Glock in black is going to make you squeal like a pig.

 

Shine:  There’s no room in the county jail for burglars and thieves. And the sheriff’s department in a vast, rural corner of southwest Oregon has been reduced by budget cuts to three deputies on patrol eight hours a day, five days a week.

But people in this traditionally self-reliant section of timber country aren’t about to raise taxes to put more officers on the road. Instead, some folks in Josephine County, larger than the state of Rhode Island, are taking matters into their own hands – mounting flashing lights on their trucks and strapping pistols to their hips to guard communities themselves.

 

Nothing, and I mean nothing, could go wrong with this.  I mean this idea really sounds fleshed out.  You all know I’m a fan of guns and citizens’ rights.  And here’s a perfect example of the community coming together to f8cking kill some bad guys.  Having a problem with vandalism and with dirtbags stealing your fifth wheels?  F8cking strap on a god damned sidearm, start cruising the neighborhood and see if you can pick some of these looters off!  Plus with those flashing lights, you might get lucky and pull over a meth whore – hello! – vigilante beejays! 

Be careful though, I’m pretty sure this is the same county that tried to shut down John Rambo back in the ’80′s and that didn’t pan out so well for those guys.

ps:  I’m *that* close to following suit.

Get A Load Of Red’s Free Gift From The NRA

Ooh, kinda thin - what could it be...?

As a prerequisite to joining joining a local gun range so that I can blow shit up defend against the rising illegal immigrant/terrorist population protect my house from marauding zombies engage in practical self defense training, I had to join the NRA, which I did a couple of weeks ago.  Among other things, I was sure they’d send me a bumper sticker like “You can take my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands” bumper sticker.  Instead they sent this:

Actually – forget that.  See if you can guess what it is:

Red’s Gettin’ A Concealed Carry Permit

If you're a paper plate, you better cross to the other side of the street.

Maybe, I still need to pass the fingerprinting and background check.  But check out that tight cluster of holes up there.  And this was my first trip to the shooting range.  I know what you’re thinking – “Oh no, Red’s going to be conscripted into the Army Sniper program and we’re going to lose Wicked Improper forever!”  Totally reasonable considering what damage I did to this f-ing paper plate from 100 50 25 10 5 yards.

 

This grip does NOT comply with proper gun safety rules.

Just Another Private Business Owner Running His Business The Way He F*cking Well Wants, Chick-Fil-A-Style

I think we can all agree that what this country needs is more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens.  Well here’s someone that’s going to try to do his part to get ‘er done, and I recommend listening to the very end.

Like Father, Like Son – California Pair Turn Overreacting (And Felony Menacing) Into A Family Affair!

 

Pretty sure it's not as cool in real life.

 

Mercury News:  When his son killed himself after being punished by his high school for stealing, pharmaceutical sciences professor Rainer Reinscheid was angry.

He blamed the Irvine school’s treatment of his son for the teen’s death — and the next month, wrote emails describing in graphic detail a plan to buy guns, murder students and administrators, carry out sexual assaults, burn down the school and kill himself, authorities said.

 

I need more information.  How was this kid punished in such a way that it would lead to his decision to take his own life?  Was he thrown into a Vietnam-era POW camp and introduced to the Anal Intruder?  Because if so, then I can see him having kind of a hard time coping with - Oh.  Wait: 

The case dates back to March when Reinscheid’s son was disciplined for a theft in the student store and was punished with trash pick-up duties at lunch…

“It was a relatively minor offense that didn’t rise to suspension or expulsion,” Hanigan said.

 

He stole some pencils, got caught, and had to collect some trash bags at lunch, what’s the big deal?  I don’t want to make light of mental illness, because I might have it, but something tells me he had other things going on than just having to clean up after some d1ckhead classmates at lunch. 

And I have no doubt that the father was dealing with some pretty dark shit after the son killed himself because people left their chili dog remnants on the quad.  Still, I’m sure that local grief counselors would’ve had something to say about carrying out sexual assaults on the other students as a means of exorcising his pain…
