One Way To Celebrate

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Weerd Beard

I’d have just bought a new gun and gone to the range….

Authorities say two brothers accidentally blew up their house after celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth.

Wichita police Sgt. Bruce Watts said one of the brothers was taken to a hospital and the other to jail after Friday’s explosion. The Wichita Eagle reported that the injured 27-year-old brother is in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.

Watts said the explosion happened after one of the brothers went to the kitchen to refuel the butane torches they planned to use to light their bongs. The brother emptied a couple large cans of butane lighter fluid, leaking butane into the air.

Eventually, butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, causing the blast.

Junkies can be sloppy, and I’m sure if you’re stoned and rocked-up on meth your sense of smell has got to be lousy.

Well that’s a night to remember, and like most lottery winners these jokers will be poorer than when they started.

He Should Talk

Chicago’s top cop likens gun lobby’s influence to corruption

Wow a Chicago cop said this? I R O N Y!!!

“If there was a special interest influencing police work, I believe that would be called corruption,” McCarthy said. “So, if it has to do with donating money, versus a popular vote, I think we have a bigger problem in this country and someone has to wake up to that.”

Gun rights advocates seized on the comments, saying that McCarthy was blaming the city’s gun violence on donors and lobbyists who advocate for the Second Amendment.

So not only is he against the 2nd Amendment, but his complaints against petition of government and donating to political causes is pretty anti first Amendment as well. Anti-freedom, not anti gun.

Also interesting that a Police Chief serves at the pleasure of the Mayor, so a POLITICIAN can have a Chief removed, or replaced at any time. By his definition that’s “Corruption”. Pot, meet kettle!

Despite having some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, Chicago saw more than 500 homicides last year for the first time since 2008, and some 43 murders took place in January. That has prompted several pro-gun rights groups to say it proves new gun control measures aren’t the answer.

Less guns, more crime! And last for more stupid irony:

“When people say concealed carry, I say Trayvon Martin,” McCarthy said, referring to the Florida teen who was shot and killed last February by a neighborhood watch volunteer, sparking controversy across the country. “I say Trayvon Martin because the answer to guns is not more guns, and just simply putting guns in people’s hands is going to lead to more tragedy.”

What’s that on your hip officer? How about those guys behind you? What’s in your patrol cars?

If guns are so bad, why do we let self-labeled “Corrupt” cops have them?

More “We Aren’t Coming For Your Guns”

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Let’s just kill that stupid meme:

Missouri Democrats are trying to rid the state of assault weapons and high-capacity gun magazines.

Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy weapons including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with a fixed magazine that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.

Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them and would have 90 days after the bill’s passage to make a decision.

Not sure what “Semi-automatic pistols with a fixed Magazine” they might be talking about, maybe a typo. Still the intent is pretty obvious, they want to take ALL of the most popular rifles, and pistols, as well as their magazines and have them destroyed. Now criminals will be unaffected, as Police already have the right to seize ANY firearm in criminal hands. What they’re going to be taking is your hunting rifle, your collectors items, your carry gun, and your home defense gun.

This is the plan across the board for anti-rights politicians, its ALWAYS about confiscation. This includes various “Assault Weapon” and magazine bans, but it also includes these “Background Check” bills. Remember with universal background check all guns sold or transferred would need to go through the ATF via an FFL, this won’t effect guns you have NOW…but you can’t live forever. When you die your family will have a choice, retain your firearms and commit a serious federal felony (that harms no one) or submit them for registration.

This doesn’t improve safety, but when we know their end game, we can read the writings on the wall.

“Gun Death” Fire Attack

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Not firearms, just fire:

Miami-Dade Police have named a pair of suspects they say nearly killed a man when they set him on fire Christmas night…”We believe through the investigation that he did use the gas that the victim purchased. He used it to douse him with it and set him on fire,” Javier Baez said of Summersett.

Hey, but let’s focus on the guns, not the violent people in society!

Rand Paul, Looking Presidential

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Man I keep getting more and more impressed with Senator Rand Paul.

I feel the same way listening to him as I do his father…without that horrible sinking feeling I get when he says something horribly stupid, or points out he hasn’t really thought through how his radical government cuts would actually be implemented.

Gun Banners Only Care About Useful Victims

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Weerd Beard

If you get shot, the antis will beat a path to your door because “Gun Death” is their preferred currency.

If you get raped, they’ll toss you under the bus.

Yeah because whistles and call-boxes are the exact tools to keep you safe.

BTW don’t worry about this guy, only Republicans who belittle rape victims get drummed out of office!

On Minimum Wage

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Weerd Beard

I never got the whole “Living Wage” crap. Minimum wage is NOT an end point, its the starting point, and if you can’t get off of it, there’s more issues at play than just your cost of living.

Plus there’s all that other stuff, like increased unemployment and business efficiency.

The “Progressive” Delemma

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Left Wingers for years were complaining about over-population. You see people pollute and do bad things to rape mother Gaia, so praise be upon places like China who limits parents to one child.

Of course that can upset the commie apple cart a bit:

We have entered the age of the fertility panic. Country after country is discovering that smaller families are causing the population to shrink, which means more old people, and therefore higher government expenses and lower tax revenues. And many of those countries are then jumping to the wrong conclusion: that they should persuade people to have more kids.

But what about mother Gaia????? What about carbon footprints? What about trash, waste and pollution???

Snicker…
