That’s some funny right there!
She put up another rambling post of nonsense today. Still the last paragraph was pretty impressive:
Let’s have some real discussion about whether guns in the home are a good idea or not. Let’s talk about whether using a gun for self defense actually is necessary or actually works.
That followed by this below:
No comments:
And of the last FIVE posts on her blog there has been one APPROVED comment, by Jason Kilgore of Joyce-Funded Cease Fire Oregon, and that was on MONDAY of this week.
Further the post before it was last commented on by Joan herself on March 2nd.
I know many of you are readers of Joan’s blog and ones who are interested in having a Real Discussion on the issues, and likely HAVE indeed submitted many comments to her blog. Of course having a real discussion is the LAST thing on Joan’s agenda.
You can shoot them, but they’re not guns!
A New Jersey man reportedly faces murder charges after he allegedly shot another man with a hunting bow in an apparent dispute over a woman.
Camden County authorities told the Philadelphia Daily News that the arrow pierced Kereti Paulsen’s stomach and perforated the iliac vein in his pelvis late Monday. The 25-year-old man was pronounced dead at Virtua Hospital in Berlin shortly after….Authorities said Paulsen, of Cape May Court House, scuffled with another man outside a residence at Brill Avenue and Egg Harbor Road. Palmer said Paulsen had a rocky, on-and-off relationship with a woman who lived at the house.
Everyone except Paulsen went inside following the fistfight and a resident who was not involved, Timothy Canfield, allegedly emerged from the house with a compound bow and several arrows. Authorities said Canfield, 25, shot Paulsen once, striking his target.
Amazing the New Jersey treats air guns like firearms that hunting bows aren’t regulated the same way….not that such laws do anything. Hey but this isn’t a “Gun Death”!
Wayyyy above my pay grade, but interesting stuff!
They aren’t much alike.
I’m really glad we didn’t elect McCain President, and I’m hoping we can elect Rand Paul in the future.
Authorities have arrested a Vermont man in the murder of a doctor at a New Hampshire hotel Monday night, MyFoxBoston.com reports.
Rodney Hill, 37, of West Danville, Vt., was arrested outside of the Hampton Inn hotel in connection with the stabbing death of Dr. Catherine Houghton.
Houghton, 70, was stabbed multiple times in the neck and torso. She was taken to Littleton Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
Remember, its the person, not the tool!
So last night I hit a proverbial jackpot and found Joan Peterson’s stash of anti-gun propaganda posters. This may be a running theme to post images, and discuss them.
First this one:

Wow, this is a winner! First we have the core, of justifying the 2nd Amendment being about hunting. It obviously isn’t. Second we have claims that AR-15s which are the most popular hunting rifle in America right now aren’t used for hunting. Next we have the fallacy of Ipse dixit, or fallacy by rigorous assertion. AR-15s are used for hunting, the anti-rights people don’t like that it is a common hunting rifle, so they simply emphatically state over and over again that they are NOT hunting rifles.
Last we have the “No True Scotsman” fallacy. Where even if a hunter is using an AR-15 for successful and enjoyable hunting, this has nothing to do with the rifle, but to do with the mental state of the hunter, and obviously if you think an AR is the best rifle for taking game you’re likely “Not in your right mind”!
Also I thought I’d throw in this one:

We of course know that Joan Peterson has likely NEVER set foot in a gun shop, certainly not in the last 3 months. Gun SALE? Sorry, but paying $3,000 for a $900 Rifle, and $50 for a $20 magazine, and not being able to find ammo for even the most common firearms is hardly a sale.
And as Tam has said, they aren’t buying these rifles to simply turn them in.
I think this will be a fun series.
When Olivia Smith fell from a chair, the pencil she was using quickly became a dangerous weapon.
The pencil went through her eye cavity and lodged itself in her brain, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
The pencil pierced through both of Olivia’s brain hemispheres, and she had to be flown to Boston Children’s Hospital via helicopter. More than 50 doctors worked on her case, and they all agreed the trajectory of the pencil ‘narrowly’ missed the parts of her brain that could have led to death or permanent damage.
Can you think of people doing this sort of damage happening with a computer keyboard or a touchscreen? Really we’re better than this, we live in a digital age where manual writing implments are no longer needed, and frankly should be banned!
IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE!!
