See How Well Gun Control Works?

Two British Cops Gunned Down

Funny, I thought Great Britain had outlawed private hand gun ownership, thereby making the country totally safe from this kind of thing... Oh, right, they did outlaw just about anything more clearly designed to kill humans than a hunting shotgun (for the wealthy and the rural, and only after some nightmarish paperwork), and it... makes no fucking difference.

Enough Already.

Here. Have a cogent, well-informed piece on firearms and their place in our society. Me? I'm gonna be out back, practicing.

Serving and Protecting

Now, I'm not going to get into the criminal charges they are actually accusing this man of-

Yes, he violated NYC's draconian firearms laws by possessing a Deadly Weapon (a .22 revolver, for those of you checking in)

Yes, he disguised his activities.

Yes, he most definitely had a point, as the hamfisted response of the NYPD demonstrates to perfection.


It isn't just California, people. It isn't just D.C.

This crap is everywhere we have allowed it to happen.

Things I'm Thankful For

1. I've got a job. It's not a massive earner, it has no benefits to speak of, but it's steady and mine for as long as I want it. That ain't no mean thing.

2. I'm not homeless. Big one.

3. Nobody is shooting at me- and to date, no one ever has.

4. I'm a citizen of a nation which still at least pays lip service to the notion of personal liberty.

5. I have the best group of crazed survivalist redneck buddies a guy could ask for, even if I haven't seen 'em in over a year.

Not the longest list, but you know what? Long enough for me.

On the Election

All over the web, I see friends of various political stripes bewailing Obama's reelection, claiming that the nation is now doomed.

Please, grow the fuck up.


You dumb shits sound just like the hippies who tore their hair out in clumps and screaming that the sky was falling when George W. Bush got reelected.

I cannot help thinking that many of you ignorant cocksuckers would be whistling Dixie if Romney had been elected- despite the fact that his political agenda was every bit as toxic and disturbing, simply from a slightly different angle.

When you bemoan the victory of one candidate or another, you're trying to tell yourself that the other guy would make a measurable difference in your life. This is patent bullshit.

To paraphrase an Iranian writer, Sue may be a Democrat and Sally my be a Republican, but they both have more in common with one another than they do with any the career politicians that infest the beltway like radioactive cockroaches. We continue to elect wealthy scumbags, presumably because we think they know what they're doing- and they do. They most certainly know what they're doing.

Do we? I fucking doubt it.

So to get back to the notion that Obama the Communist/Muslim/Socialist/Fascist is somehow going to utterly ruin your life... maybe he will. But Romney would have done the same, in his own special fashion. Don't kid yourselves. This wasn't a vote on a Constitutional President versus a Populist Despot. This was about choosing the flavor of dick you're going to have in your mouth for the next four years. No more, no less.

As the Election Heats Up, Some Wisdom-

"You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground nightclub filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pit bulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns and brand-new sexual organs that you did not know existed. So you vote for television, and everyone else, as far as the eye can see, votes to fuck you with switchblades. That's voting. You're welcome."

You want a catchy summation of my view of the world situation? Fine.

Courtesy of The Rolling Stones:


"Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Lord, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey, yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweepin'
At our streets today
Burnin' like a red coal carpet
A mad bull lost its way

War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey, yeah

Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away"

Happy now?
