Gun Control AND Knife Control

Bob Really outdid himself when he dug up this ghastly crime.

A man stabbed his girlfriend to death after she accidentally blurted out the name of another man as they made love.

Gary Higgs, 44, flew into a rage when his girlfriend suddenly cried out: ‘Chris!’.

He stormed downstairs, grabbed a chef’s knife and stabbed Joanne Kitchen once in the back and once in the chest.

As she was dying from her wounds, he throttled the 41-year-old to death with the electrical flex of their alarm clock.

And you wonder why Gun control advocates in the United States are so fixated with the metric of “Gun Death”. This story is from the UK, where guns are essentially banned, and knives are heavily restricted. Meanwhile this woman commits a simple faux-pas of calling out the wrong name during sex. (Does this mean she was having an affair, or just a brain fart?….either way it doesn’t justify her gruesome death) And she was stabbed, and strangled to death.

This is so sick, and senseless. But there is another part of the story I find equally as disturbing:

Higgs, who admitted murder, was yesterday jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 15 years.

“Jailed for life, but must serve a minimum of 15 years”? Now in a just world this would mean he would be kept alive on life support if need-be so that he would serve at LEAST 15 years before he died in prison…but that’s not the case, that means that he will be eligible for release in 15 years! You think his future relationships will be safe thanks to his time in Prison? Here’s the REAL reason why anti-rights advocates focus on bogus metrics like “Gun Death”, because they want to disarm lawful people, rather than concern themselves with monsters like this who roam the streets.

In Maine we need a Doe Permit for that

Talk about an interesting story

An escaped 1,200-pound heifer that threatened police officers was shot Tuesday after escaping from a meat processing facility near downtown Lafayette….Shortly after, the heifer was found running wildly along the banks of the Wabash, said Lt. Jim Taul of the Lafayette Police Department. Four officers armed with shotguns and AR-15 rifles responded.

No word if it was a shotgun or the .223 “Poodle Shooter” that took ‘ol Bossy down. Generally in Maine they get taken down by a rusty .30-30 or a .30-06 by a drunk hunter with a doe tag in his pocket. 😀

I kid, as a rogue cow can be a VERY dangerous creature, especially in the unpredictable environment of a street. I’m glad the officers took her down before anybody got hurt. Still I’m with Tam that this odd story is pretty funny.

Oh BTW which one of my great readers tipped me off to the term Slow Elk?

Right to Video

Found this interesting video Via Uncle

I must agree, much like the ubiquitous dashboard cameras on police cars, police should be required to record their actions on public time. Not only will this keep things honest, but it will always protect the good guy. The video gives examples of both instances where video helped innocent people being preyed upon by overstepping police, but also instances where partial videos and biased eyewitnesses made police doing a good job look like they were violating the law. Also they failed to mention this famous case where most sources point that if the video had been complete the event would not have blown-up the way it did.

All of these interactions should be recorded by police, as well as any innocent bystanders, and the unedited tapes in public possession should be subject to Freedom of Information queries.

The whole perversion of the wire-tap laws is very obviously an abuse. If it were true that ANYBODY recording audio required the express permission of all persons present, Video and Audio recorders would simply be illegal. Example:

Here’s a video shot by Jay of Zeeke42 shooting the famous Snubbie from Hell .357. You can see yours trully wander into frame. I don’t think I was aware I’m being filmed, and I belive that’s my voice heard when I’m out-of-frame, also I clearly hear Mopar and somebody else talking. I doubt they know they are being recorded.

Now this is an active firing line where ear protection is required! Its not like this is a place where people chatting. Look at any Man-on-the-street news cast, or search for home videos on Youtube from any public event, or crowded location (like say Disney World”) and you’ll find dozens if not HUNDREDS of people being recorded without expressed permission.

Has there ever been a public address of this wide-spread and serious crime? Have there been arrests made for violations? No! This ONLY comes up with police and government officials, or prosecutors fishing for charges to file (I’ve read a few cases of people mounting hidden cameras in private areas to capture nude images where the wire-tapping charges were filed).

In a world where audio and video equipment is so small, and broadband internet nearly everywhere, these abused laws need to be reviewed!

About Updated

So I just updated the About Page to include a link to the “Gun Death?” Archive for those looking for an easy link. I do have it in the cards to put all my categories in the side bar for those looking for specific subject matters of this blog.

Eventually when I get more time I’ll throw up a blogroll so I can link all the blogs that help me keep this site running, as well as give me enjoyment on my day-to-day, but I suspect that will take a bit of time to get the bulk of the blogs I read daily, and frequently.

Also I want to have a custom header to the blog to give this whole thing a more “Custom” look. Besides this picture what do you think about when you come to Weer’d World? Lend me your ideas. I have already talked to This guy about his kickass art Skillz, but such upgrades are still some time off, as my first priority is to keep this place filled with excellent content.

Thanks to all who are reading!

Takedown

So when I first bought my 1911 on a whim I detail stripped it to see how it looked, and to see if crud was collecting in places I didn’t clean with a field strip. Being nervous and having never done it before it took me the better part of the afternoon to do it. (including taking breaks because I was afraid I might never get my gun back together).

In the end I was being a silly little fool, and actually the process of turning a 1911 into a bunch of hunks of solid metal is really easy. The only tools I used were two screw drivers, and not having a punch kit, I used a nylon hammer and toothpicks. (Pro-tip, get a punch kit set). If I had a 100% GI stock 1911 I could have done it ALL without tools, and given my n00b status, it was REALLY easy, and everything came back together and functioned PERFECTLY without even so much as some fiddling. It makes me admire guns for their simplicity, and how they are designed to be maintained easily and in bad conditions.

I guess Cars can be made that way too!

How cool is that?

I think what Kay needs is to listen to a few back issues of Vicious Circle maybe that’ll clear a few things up for her.

Mainers Unite!

Sent to me by Mom-in-Law

At least a dozen men carrying guns Tuesday attended a public hearing at City Hall on a proposal for state legislation that would ban firearms from public buildings.

The gun-rights advocates said they were the first wave of a larger armed contingent who will defend their constitutional right to carry guns in public buildings in Portland or any other municipality in Maine.

City Councilor Dan Skolnik, who chairs the council’s Public Safety Committee, wants to build support for state legislation to ban firearms from public buildings where mass gatherings occur, or allow municipalities to do so.

With such legislation, Portland could ban guns from facilities such as City Hall, Fitzpatrick Stadium, Merrill Auditorium and the Portland Expo.

While we can talk property rights and banning of guns, such as discussed here But public land should honor the laws of the state. If I can carry on the sidewalk outside the Merrill Auditorium (and I sure have) and there is no additional security inside the venue (like at an airport or court house….which there isn’t) I don’t see the point to this law.

Plus we all know that these laws do nothing to stop violent people from doing violent things, and because no GOOD people with defensive arms will be within the “Gun Free Zone” it may even encourage them. Just about every mass shooting I can think of happened in a location where personal firearms were illegal. A little more than coincidence, don’t you think?

My friends in Maine, we need to STOP this crap!

FYI, let me know when the next of these protests happens, it would be a nice place to try out my new Dress Holster

Morning Zen

Long-seated Moonbat Congressman Barny Frank has a Primary opponent. It was this woman.

The Debate between them here.

Frank is an out-of-touch asshole, and generally one of the more rude and disrespectful congressmen in the legislature (maybe with exception to Alan Grayson) but his opponent really raised questions if she WAS from this planet.

That being said she still managed to get 20% of the votes

This is going to be a TOUGH year for incumbents….

Another Non-“Gun Death”

Bob has sent me lots of local stories from Texas. Remember what groupls like the Brady Campaign, and the Violence Policy Center say about Texas when you read This Story

A 26-year-old Dallas man was arrested this week on a capital murder charge in the fatal beating and robbery of another man, according to police documents….Detectives believe Braxton and the other man beat McGee on his head and body with wooden boards in the 3700 block of Pine Street near Scyene Road and Second Avenue.

Gun Control Capitals like Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, are awash in violent crime, and there are pleanty of “Gun Crimes” and “Gun Deaths” as the people who implemented the restrictive laws like to count. They’ll claim that the guns are not an example of the failure of THEIR laws, but the failure of neighboring state’s laws.

Meanwhile in Texas, two men beat another man to death with wooden boards. You wonder why the anti-rights advocates are so hung up on “Gun Death”, it distracts people from reality which is their enemy!.
