Michael Douglas is joining the Bradys on their “Light a (fake) Candle” initiative. Some enterprising soul did a job on the advertising photo. 🙂

Go over Joe Huffman’s blog to read the follies behind this latest Brady Kumbayaa-feel-good-do-nothing approach. So far, they only have 28 locations confirmed to do the vigil, falling pitifully short of the “Across America” fanfare.

I did notice something looking at the original photo:
“To honor Americans lost to Gun Violence”? Wait, one second, isn’t that racist? Only Americans? Brady does not care for people with Green Cards? How about Illegal Aliens? Did Sarah Brady just went David Duke on us? Is it OK for criminal to gun down tourists from Canada or Brazil?

I am so shocked!

I got tired of the show early on. Will Hayden’s antics and the idea that he was “creating” amazing gun designs that were nothing but rehashes from earlier guns got old really quick. But the show was popular and the meme was that he was presenting a nice face to the community.

But as usual, what’s on TV is not as real as they want you to believe. According to TMZ, the Hydens do not have an FFL because they had some trouble back in 2009. That means they were unable to do business prior to the beginning of the show. The way it reads, they probably had bookkepping issues which is not unheard of and that is maybe why they are not serving time in a Fed Pen.

They should have disclosed their lack of FFL from the get go. I see no issue on being upfront plus it does not restrict them from doing their builds since there was a licensed dealer on the premises.

Dumb move.

Good News: Mobile, Alabama Mayor Sam Jones uses a gun to defend himself from an intruder.

Bad News: Alabama Mayor Sam Jones is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

The irony is thick with this one.

Anybody else sees Bloomberg doing a headesk?

Fiona Glenanne is the character played by Gabrielle Anwar in the series Burn Notice. She is 5′ 2″ and probably 100Lbs if she is carrying her Walther PPK and a couple of spare mags with her. She is far from voluptuous but exudes sexiness in her self-assurance and that is the key.
Some smart SOB in casting took the chance that a woman whose physical appearance should have her typecasted and a mousy girl, (maybe a sister of somebody stronger or better looking) but instead she was given the role of a tough, self-determined and lethally proficient woman without losing either humor or “girliness.” The result is a very attractive woman that any man with testosterone would be more than proud to have next to her.

Self-sufficiency is sexy while dependency will annoy most males. I think many of us were annoyed about the bull around the sexual revolution and the Equality demands when we figured out that what was being asked was not true partnership but egotistical expectations.Their idea of partnership was getting more just because they were females but we still got to do the heavy lifting.

We don’t want to hear a shriek if a mouse suddenly crosses our path. Instead we love to hear “What do you think? Colibri .22 subsonic or CB Caps out the Ruger Mark II for mice?” If we have to change a tire in the middle of nowhere at night, we do not want to see a pretty face inside the car with a vacuous smile but instead we want to hear her say “You go ahead and change the tire, I got you covered” and knowing she does not mean an umbrella in case of rain. I am lucky, I am married to somebody like that.

And I’ll gladly reload her magazines so she doe not have to compromise her freshly done manicure. 😉

The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
IDPA competitors know that the glass is in need of a tactical reload.

Violence Policy Center posted this little tidbit in Facebook:

Dear Evil Princess hold your fire. There is a method to the madness.

The former ACORN worker who now works as Media Engineer for VPC wasted no time and deleted my post.
Challenge accepted!
Conundrum time. That is not the message they want to publish so an explanation apparently is required. And a reply mandatory.
Of course, addressing as “misogynistic” the stalwarts of the Violence Policy Center did not go well, so the next step is the one we all have come to expect and love.
Gun control advocates are misogynistic. They do believe that a woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet. Plus they do not care much for open discussions…. mostly because they lose all the time.
