Explain This To Me

Wasn’t Pitch-Black a luke-warm summer movie?

Didn’t Chronicles of Riddick totally bomb?

Why are they making Another one?

Is this some sort of money laundering scheme or something?

Look at that trailer? Looks like it might at BEST be a forgettable popcorn movie. Why can’t you assholes quit warming-over crap and make that Leon Sequel before Danny Aiello is too old to play the part of Cleaner Mathilda’s handler.

At least they’re FINALLY making Fury Road, and it has hopes of not sucking!

New York Decends into Madness

I think I need to dive deeper into this. Certainly we’ll touch on it in the Squirrel Report tonight, but there is just something HORRIBLY wrong with New York and other big cities in America (Such as Boston) that behavior like this is even TOLERATED, let alone encouraged.

Next Stop CARLOS DANGER!!!!

Revenuers

The sad decline of law enforcement is BIG #1 SWAT Teams (and the frequent trumped-up raids they do) but a close #2 is ticket quotas.

Its all about making money, not enforcing the law. If people aren’t breaking the law, start writing bullshit tickets. I’m glad they tie in the “Broken Window Fallacy” into this.

“Gun Death” Assault Car

Cars are different than guns…because they are different!

A 44-year-old Maryland man has been identified as the victim in the fatal bicycle accident early today along Del. 1 (Coastal Highway) near Rehoboth Beach….The front of the Jeep hit the back of Henman’s bike, which caused him to be ejected onto the hood of the Jeep, Hale said. Henman was on the hood for about 400 feet before the Jeep hit a curb and stopped and he was thrown onto the roadway, Hale said.

The Jeep driver is not being charged with vehicular homicide. Hey, but it wasn’t a gun! Remember, only “Gun Death” counts!

Quote of the Day: Joan Peterson

Joan really is losing it. I haven’t been fisking her much because frankly her recent posts have been so loony and unhinged that there isn’t much to talk about.

In a recent post she was talking about how .22 LR ammo is no where to be found. When I bought my pair of Ruger LCRs the shop was nice enough to dig up a few boxes of .22 to go with my purchases that weren’t on the shelf. It wasn’t great ammo, or stuff I’d normally buy, but A) Any port in a storm, and B) I have two .22 Revolvers that will eat any crap I feed them without concern.

She likes to portray the lack of .22 for sinister reasons, but the reality is new shooters NEED .22. Its cheap, and its easy to shoot and train with. We have more new shooters in America ever before, and they’re hitting the range, and they’re bringing .22 to practice with. This is GREAT! better shooters mean a safer America, and the anti-gun cult HATES that.

Still she left this money quote in her comments:

Not everyone has good intentions with all of that ammo. That was my point, of course. It may not be unusual to you but you are in the minority of people who believe this.

This response was to Bryan Strawser who mentioned that competitive shooters buy and shoot tens-of-thousands of rounds on a regular basis. Joan thinks they’re up to no good.

Still we HAVE people who are up to no good in custody. How much ammo do they use?

James Holmes of the Aurora shooting did indeed buy a few thousand rounds…but I don’t think he shot more than 100 rounds, most of them missing in his spree. Probably much less as most victims were wounded with birdshot from a shotgun. How often did he shoot before he was apprehended?

Sung Cho visited a Virginia shooting range a few times before he killed himself and 32 others at Virginia tech. But how many rounds did he shoot there? He had lots of unused ammo in his bag at the time of his death.

Adam Lanza, may have gone shooting with his mother, but those details are scarce.

Jared Laughner may have never fired his Glock before he expended one magazine in the Arizona Mall.

The list could go on, but frankly I don’t see much evidence that these honest-to-god spree killers did much as far as training or shooting, either before, or during their crimes.

Frankly I suspect I shoot more rounds in a single range session than these criminals did in their entire lives. Certainly a month of ammo for me covers most of them…and I’m not a competitive shooter. A pro shooter probably covers all the spree shooters lifetime of ammo AND their local police department.

Yeah, sounds like the people buying all the ammo are “Up to no good”. Joan Peterson is obviously crazy.

“Gun Death” Domestic Stabbing

We must ban “Assault Knives”!

A 23-year-old New Castle man pleaded guilty in New Castle County Superior Court today of stabbing his uncle to death during a domestic argument last year.

But let’s talk about the “Assault Features” on this knife…

Police recovered a kitchen knife used during the slaying.

Oh…its almost like the tool isn’t important, its the person who decides that murder is an answer to a problem.

“Gun Death” Shopping Cart

Yikes! But in China where guns are banned!

A horrific video has emerged of a grandmother being killed by a runaway supermarket trolley.

The accident, which was caught on CCTV, happened on Friday morning at Lianhua supermarket in Shanghai.

The 60-year-old, who was shopping alone, died from horrific injuries after being hit by the metal trolley at the Chinese store. The overloaded trolley smashes into the shopper, throwing her against a pillar six to seven metres away.

A few seconds later, two panicked men can be seen running down the escalator to help the woman, followed closely by another bystander.

Maybe in a Communist Nation shopping should be banned! Its all Capitalist and all…and Capitalism KILLS!!!!

Thank Goodness she wasn’t shot!
