Sorry for the lack of posts, it appears that my spam filter decided to take a powder break during the night and the comments section was filled with people saying how nice my blog was and how much I want to buy a knock-off Coach bag or invest in their get-rich-quick scheme.
Hopefully it will be under control soon, until then, don’t take any wooden nickles from these swine!
Where guns are banned, so USE A BOMB!
State media say a Chinese man has set off explosives outside the home of his former in-laws in a southern Chinese city, killing seven and injuring 18.
No guns, so no biggie!
Looks like a lunatic has stabbed a bunch of people in Houston:
Twelve people were rushed to area hospitals after an attack on the campus of Lone Star College Cy-Fair in northwest Harris County. Two other people were treated for minor wounds at the scene in the 9900 block of Barker Cypress.
Witnesses said a suspect ran down a hallway randomly stabbing students in the Health and Science Center.
Video here:
Yet another “Gun Free Zone” as the location for a massive attack. So far no dead, but a few people are in critical condition.
Also another thing to note is that there ZERO chatter about this from the anti-rights crowd…some violence just doesn’t concern them, even when its national news.
Thanks to all who sent me this, my email EXPLODED when this attack happened.
Be safe out there.
Look Yeager isn’t a great or a smart man, still he hasn’t been charged for any of the crimes he pretty clearly has committed so this is good.
A Middle Tennessee weapons instructor whose YouTube rant about killing people gained national attention and cost him his Tennessee handgun carry permit might now be getting his permit back.
A Middle Tennessee firearms trainer who made an ominous comment about killing people in a YouTube video that gained national attention this week has had his handgun carry permit suspended Friday by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
James Yeager, 42, had his permit suspended based on a “material likelihood of risk of harm to the public,” the department said in a statement.
A general sessions judge in Benton County ruled last week that the state didn’t have enough evidence to suspend James Yeager’s carry permit.
Remember rights are there to protect the best of us. I don’t worry about my freedom of speech when I talk about a neat fish, or how cute ducklings are, we use freedom of speech to protect when we say something stupid or controversial. Same goes with the talk that the 2nd Amendment having anything to do with hunting.
Yeager isn’t great, but he didn’t deserve this. That still doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a criminal trial, but without that they can keep their hands off his permit, as due process applies to all of us!

By Stealing Lawfully Held Guns!
A worker at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has been charged with stealing shotguns, revolvers and other weapons from the checked luggage of passengers who had connections through the busy Twin Cities airport….A review of footage showed Vang removing items from checked luggage and taking them to an unsecured employee parking ramp where his wife was waiting in a vehicle, the criminal complaint said.
Vang was arrested in October and is no longer working at the airport, Hogan said.
Several boxes containing firearms, a crossbow, iPads, laptops, mobile phones, jewelry and other electronics were removed from Vang’s apartment, the complaint said. Authorities said he had 716 stolen items, valued at more than $84,000.
Fly the friendly skies…just don’t land, for the Keystone Kops run the show!
Federal authorities are under fire for a botched 10-month undercover storefront operation in the Milwaukee are that used a local man with a low IQ to set up their gun and drug deals and then turned on him, charging him with crimes that could send him to prison for the rest of his life, the Journal Sentinel reported.
The report says agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives convinced Chauncey Wright to help them in their “Fearless Distributing” sting by paying him in cigarettes, merchandise and money to ride his bike around town and hand out fliers recommending the fake storefront to friends, family and strangers.
Wright, 28, thought he was helping promote the store that stocked its shelves with shoes, clothing, drug paraphernalia and auto parts, according to his family. But once authorities shut down the operation, they came after him, charging him with federal gun and drug counts. He’s currently in the Waukesha County Jail. His attorney, Joseph Bugni, declined a request by the newspaper to interview him.
So they set up a fake store, and hired a mentally retarded man (let’s not mince words here) to bait the trap, and when it didn’t work they locked up their own patsy. SUPER CLASSY ATF! Good to see this organization is there to keep us safe!
A man who beat a nun over the head with a flashlight and then strangled her to quiet her moans pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in federal court Friday under a deal that saved him a possible mandatory life sentence….Prosecutors said Carroll, who just turned 21, confessed to breaking into the nun’s trailer home around midnight Nov. 1, 2009, in search of money and items that could be traded for cash or drugs and alcohol. He attacked Bartz with a flashlight her after she hit him with a slipper as he entered a bedroom, hitting her over the head five or six times and kicking her as she lay on the ground, he acknowledged in court on Friday. He then resumed rummaging through the trailer, going back to tie a shirt around her mouth and neck after she began moaning.
Bad justice tag, because this beast will walk free again, and prison is a poor rehabilitation center. Also I have no idea how this order of Nuns stand on self-defense, but a gun is a LOT better than a slipper. But those who use “Gun Death” as a metric have no issue with us being brained by a flashlight in our homes.
The ocellated icefish (Chionodraco rastrospinosus) has gin-clear blood. And it has no scales. And it lives nowhere but the inky depths down to 3,200 feet (1 kilometer) in the icy waters off Antarctica. Other than that, it’s just an ordinary fish.
The Tokyo Sea Life Park is the only place with ocellated icefish in captivity, Agence France-Presse reports. “Luckily, we have a male and a female, and they spawned in January,” Satoshi Tada, an education specialist at the center, told AFP.
I wonder how difficult it was to get them to breed. Some fish are really easy, others are damned difficult.
Scientists hope the mated pair of icefish and their offspring in Tokyo will help researchers unlock the secrets of how the fish manages to survive without hemoglobin to carry oxygen to its cells.
It’s possible, some scientists speculate, that the icefish’s unusually large heart might help move oxygen through its body using blood plasma instead of hemoglobin.
Also, with no scales to get in the way, the icefish may absorb some oxygen directly through its skin: Cold, polar water is richer in oxygen than warmer waters.
But the mystery surrounding the icefish’s lack of hemoglobin may take years to solve. “More studies are needed on the question,” Tada said.
This fish is a standard talking point of ichthyology 100, the general consensus is that since cold water has a very high saturation for oxygen that the fish uses its whole body as a giant gill to exchange oxygen, still that may be pure speculation.
Check out the video, the guy is all kinds of cute!

In POLITICS!!!
A Political Action Committee (PAC) launched this week to support bearded candidates, according to paperwork filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The Bearded Entrepreneurs for the Advancement of a Responsible Democracy (BEARD) was founded by 30-year-old Jonathan Sessions, who sits on the Columbia, Mo., Board of Education, according to his website.
“With the resurgence of beards in popular culture and among today’s younger generation, we believe the time is now to bring facial hair back into politics,” Sessions said in a statement.
“We haven’t had a bearded major party candidate run for president since Charles Evans Hughes ran and lost in 1916, and there has been a recent wave of retirements amongst bearded Congressmen, including David Obey and Steve LaTourette. Our hope is that we can start to reverse this disturbing trend.”
The BEARD PAC will support candidates from across the political spectrum as long as they have sufficient facial hair.
I also support their non-partisan approach! We need more beards in public office!!! Hell the last bearded President was Benjamen Harrison! Man that was in the 1890s! Time for that to end!

This is some really powerful data
The survey, which was conducted in early March 2013, received 15,000 responses from law enforcement professionals. It found that the overall attitude of law enforcement is strongly anti-gun legislation and pro-gun rights, with the belief that an armed citizenry is effective in stopping crime. Response percentages varied only slightly when analyzed by rank and department size. Among the results:
86 percent feel the currently proposed legislation would have no effect or a negative effect on improving officer safety
Similarly, 92 percent feel that banning semi-automatic firearms, or “assault weapons,” would have no effect or a negative effect on reducing violent crime
Demonstrating the opinion that the best way to combat gun crime is through harsher punishment, 91 percent said the use of a firearm while perpetrating a crime should lead to a stiff, mandatory sentence with no plea bargains. Likewise, 59 percent believe increasing punishment severity for unlicensed dealers would reduce crime
The list goes on. This says a lot for those who are in charge of protecting and serving the public, and those who are in harm’s way and are the ones who will see the end-result of violence when it happens.
