Linoge gleefully flagellates TV idiocy in this one.

Gun culture is interesting enough without having to engage in outright lies. Yet TV Producers always find some moron willing to engage in deceptive TV.

American Guns started “meh” enough for me to catch if there was nothing else on TV. But soon enough they were weaving stories that were kinda fishy like “building” replica peacemakers from scratch when plenty of companies are making excellent replicas.

And a final note to TV producers: Stop it with the explosions. Regular ammunition for both rifle and handgun do not explode on contact with abandoned shacks unless the shack is filled with sweating dynamite, OK? So when we see that your shop built peacemaker blows a railroad car, we do not hear an explosion, but the words that start with “B” and “S.”

Police shoots “unarmed” man.

Proof positive that some people still do not get it. This just happened so details are few.

The incident started when police tried to question a robbery suspect at the CVS Pharmacy located at US-1 and 80th Street in South Miami. Police said the suspect then tried to run over the officer with his car.

And later on the same article:


Investigators have not said whether or not the man was armed.

Since it is Saturday, probably the regular editors and writers are enjoying the weekend so the intern yet to graduate from the Liberal Arts program (Majoring in Seminole Poker & Greek Transgender Studies) is writing the story.

Brain Hurt of the Month.

An American self-defense instructor was denied entry into the United Kingdom because the government believes that his teachings could encourage vigilante violence.

I don’t know a whole lot about Tim Larkin. I know I have his book “How to Survive the Most Critical 5 Seconds of Your Life” on my list of books to be bought because it was recommended by several people. But clearly if he was some sort of crazed Militia-Type, build your own improvised weapons and explosives, I would have heard by now.

What we have here is just another example of Nanny State Gone Wild in Stupidity. The UK has managed to do what CSGV, Brady and the rest of Anti Gunners are desperately trying (and failing) to do here: Make Self Defense socially unacceptable and morally corrupt.

I guess I cannot ever be a subject of the Crown. I find it socially unacceptable and morally corrupt to be a victim. I’ll be content on being the ugly, uncouth American Citizen and defending myself and mine as needed.
