But I am a frigging Terrorist/Insurrectionist?
President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to “vetted” opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad’s regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would “waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction.

Is it a requirement to work for this Administration (and others) to have the part of the brain that holds logic surgically removed? We already have Senator Feinstein calling for more gun control, but we are gonna ship a boatload of assault rifles and ammo to a bunch of bastards that wants us dead? And the worst thing is they know it?
“Our intelligence agencies, I think, have a very good handle on who to support and who not to support,” (Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.) said. “And there’s going to be mistakes. We understand some people are going to get arms that should not be getting arms. But we still should be doing everything we can to support the free Syrian opposition.”
But why should I be surprised? We are still trying to figure out how many guns were allowed to be sent to Mexican Drug Cartels so I shouldn’t let this crap affect me.
But it does.
Somehow we Gun Owners are the truly dangerous ones. Drug Sicarios and Beheading Islamists are not.
Dear God….give me strength.
A classic “Here, hold my beer and watch THIS!”
From the Sheriff Jim Wilson’s Facebook page, we get this incredibly stupid stunt:
1896…Waco, Texas….Some fool decided it would be a great publicity stunt to run two trains together, head on. A crowd of some 40,000 gathered, of which 3 were killed and six other injured by the flying debris.
Read the whole story here.
Because they royally ticked me off.
The National Gun Victims Action Council – “A Force for Sane Gun Laws” had me lose it just a bit yesterday. Only after they posted a couple or three post about the Navy Yard Shooter and more like an afterthought, they finally posted (around 5pm) prayers for the victims and families of the senseless killing.
Maybe it was I was all day reading equally stupid crap from the usual suspects and even from Hollywood Used-To-Be’s, but when I saw this “Oh shit, we must look like we care and post something related and nice”, I had to let them/him have it.
I almost feel bad…… almost.
Navy Yard Shooting: Let me get this straight.
We have the Navy Yard, a gun free zone. The Navy Yard is in Washington D.C. which is another gun free zone so that makes it double. We have an active shooter going into this double Gun Free Zone and starts killing people.
The solution was to send people with the guns that should have been there in the first place to avoid the massacre.
10 Photos Illustrating the Dramatic Scene Unfolding in Aftermath of the Navy Yard Shooting
I guess nobody could toss a pair of scissors at 1,100 pps or a fire extinguisher at 3,000 fps against the shooter. But don’t worry, Homeland Security will spend half billion dollars studying what could be done and post it in a Youtube video.
Underpants Gnomes Statistics & Research.
The Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence is all giddy this morning with the following:
I found the report’s website and being the cheap bastard I am, I decided not to waste my money buying it, specially after I read the “study” method:
Methods. We conducted a negative binomial regression analysis of panel data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting Systems database on gun ownership and firearm homicide rates across all 50 states during 1981 to 2010. We determined fixed effects for year, accounted for clustering within states with generalized estimating equations, and controlled for potential state-level confounders.
Wait, what gun ownership database? Again, What gun ownership database across 50 states? How can you make a study using something that does not exist? I know darn well that Florida does not have a Gun Registry of any kind so there goes the 50 states quote. In fact, how many states have a gun registry, much less an accurate gun registry?
Zimmerman Jailed Again, Entire Nation Calls for Stand Your Ground Repeal, Krissy has Forehead Bruise From Repeated Facepalm
Speaking on the condition of anonymity because he’s an imaginary person, Florida Police Officer Jim confirmed reports that George Zimmerman has once again been arrested.
While he declined to comment on what landed Zimmerman in jail again, he did offer the following, “Well.” Officer shrugs. “He you know. He’s been pulled over twice now. And then that thing with his wife. Plus, you know he shot that kid… and.” Officer appeared to be gathering his thoughts. “Well then, you know, he saved those people in that accident, or something like that. And then. Well, pretty much everyone just thinks he’s an asshole.”
Your insightful funny for the day 🙂
