RINO to New Hampshire

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

New Hampshire, don’t make the same mistake Massachusetts did:

Saying “I don’t think I’m done with politics,” former Senator Scott Brown stressed his ties to New Hampshire following a speech in Nashua on Thursday and refused to rule out a run for elective office in the Granite State.

Brown, speaking to reporters after delivering the keynote speech at a dinner to mark the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, noted that he owns a home in New Hampshire, has “been a taxpayer” there for 20 years, and has relatives who live in the state.

So it looks like “RINO”, and “Turncoat” are big enough feathers in Scott Brown’s hat, he’s thinking of adding “Carpet Bagger” to his resume. Hopefully the people of New Hampshire were watching.

I suspect Brown would behave more conservative in New Hampshire than here, but that’s only because of his lack of convictions. New Hampshire has far better options.

“Gun Death” Safety

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Sometimes Safety doesn’t work out how it was planned:

A safety drill gone wrong on a cruise ship resulted in the death of five crew members in Spain’s Canary Islands, Thomson Cruises said.

Three other workers were injured, the cruise line said. The accident happened just before noon Sunday on board the Thomson Majesty while it was docked in La Palma, one of the Canary Islands.

As part of the drill, a lifeboat was lowered into the water to test the evacuation procedure for passengers.

“Unfortunately, when the boat was being raised back up, one of the wires snapped, resulting in the boat falling back into the water,” a Thomson representative said via e-mail Monday.

I think this is a prime example of the “If it saves just one life” argument from those who use “Gun Death”. The “Common Sense” solution for this would be to simply never train ship crews how to use safety equipment, and therefore prevent such accidents…but leaving them totally ignorant in the event of an emergency, putting vastly more in danger in the event of an accident.

“If it saves one life” can frequently come at the loss of HUNDREDS, but just like these deaths don’t count in their books, the lives saved from guns don’t count either!

Another Reason to Oppose “Universal Background Checks”

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Weerd Beard

When the ATF can close down a gun shop for “undisclosed reasons”:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor in December. The agency, which confirmed the revocation to reporters Thursday, didn’t say why.

Authorities raided the store for undisclosed reasons shortly after the December school shootings in which Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School….His wife, Shelley Clemens, said Friday that she and her husband still don’t know why the ATF revoked his firearms license. She said the store remains open selling ammunition and other items that aren’t firearms while LaGuercia appeals the revocation.

“They just came in the store after Sandy Hook, raided the store and took away the license,” she said, referring further questions to her husband. LaGuercia, of Agawam, Mass., didn’t return phone messages Friday.

The shop is still open, and given how crazy ammo sales are right now, they weather this part of the storm. Still it sounds like a fishing expedition based solely on politics.

Still without the FFL, there will be no transfers of firearms out of this shop, so no background checks conducted.

If the “Universal law” is passed it means that buying or selling a gun any area could become impossible, and that’s the whole damn point!

Rude Awakening

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Mrs. Weer’d woke me up last night because she thought somebody was crying for help. I was hearing it in my sleep so I had an idea what it was sounding like, also we’d been through this before one night when the Coyotes were out in style.

Still I opened the window to get a better listen, and it didn’t quite sound like a coyote.

Yep it was a Red fox vixen attempting to get her sex on. Neat!

“Gun Death” Go Figgure

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Weerd Beard

As reader Wallphone said: “Live by the Grill Die by the Grill”

The second unofficial spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill in downtown Las Vegas has died from an apparent heart attack.

John Alleman suffered a heart attack last week as he waited at the bus stop in front of the restaurant, located inside the Neonopolis at Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard.

Alleman was taken off life support shortly after 1 p.m. on Monday, said restaurant owner Jon Basso. He was 52.

Note the CDC leading causes of death, in 2011 there were 597,689 deaths from heart disease, 129,476 from stroke, and 69,071 from diabetes. Suicide makes last place on this list at 38,364, but only half of those are “Gun Deaths”, and even total “Gun Death” is less than that number.

Oddly there won’t be a protest in front of this restaurant…because only “Gun Death” counts…oh and because “Progressives” enjoy a greasy burger as much as the next guy.

And don’t get me wrong, I love me some greasy burgers too, and if you enjoy them responsibly there isn’t much danger in them.

Interesting New View on Jeff Dunham

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Weerd Beard

I like Jeff Dunham, he’s funny, but he’s not really smart comedy. I listen to the Comedy stations on the Satellite radio, and frankly his stuff is predictable enough that I’m kinda sick of him and have written him off.

Well that may change now that I know that he’s a LOT smarter than his comedy, and likes cars and aircraft.

Listen along on the Adam Carolla Podcast with Jeff Dunham!

“Gun Death” Car Crash

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Guns are different than cars because they’re different!

A fatal accident in Live Oak County killed four family members after their SUV crashed into a tree and caught fire early Sunday morning, DPS officials say.

The single vehicle accident happened just before 7 a.m. on U.S. Highway 59, just 12 miles northeast of George West.

According to a DPS report, 22-year-old Joannie Lopez, was driving her 2004 Chevrolet Yukon southwest on U.S. 59 when the car veered to the right and entered a grassy median. The vehicle hit a tree head-on and then caught fire.

The children were 2, 2, and 3, and only the mother was wearing a safetybelt. If only we had more laws!!!

Oh, it was illegal what she did…but she did it anyway! Maybe we need MORE LAWS to prevent this! Is it not illegal to drive off the road and hit trees in Texas? Call your legislators!
