Way way back then when the world was in Black & White and people wore togas, King Pyrrhus had it on against the Romans in battle and won. But the win was basically that the Romans had no soldiers left and King Pyrrhus had about 5 still standing somewhat and not in the greatest of shape. Seeing this, legend tell us that the Monarch uttered “If I win like this again, I’ll be royally screwed” or words to that effect. And he was right, at the next confrontation he got his butt kicked back home in a chariot. Ever since the term Pyrrhic victory denotes a battle won that will lead to losing the war.

Maryland enacted a whole bunch of gun control legislation and State Gun Control advocates are dancing for joy. As they jig and tap, Beretta USA announces they are leaving the State alongside 400 jobs, $31 million in taxes and investments over $73 million. Besides producing guns for the Civilian Market, Beretta is also fulfilling a contract for the U.S. Military for the M9 sidearm and if I recall correctly, it was for 500,000 units. That means a steady income from both sides of the fence that Maryland legislators just sent to another state thanks to legislation that will do zilch in curbing violence.

Of course that means that the Maryland Legislature will have to make up for loss revenue (both the one from Beretta and the indirect from the business servicing the company and employees) and be ready to take those people who were benefiting on Beretta’s work and that will now be enjoying unemployment benefits and assorted welfare. I guess taxes will be raised to make up for the difference.

Elections have consequences.

DENVER (AP) — Legislation that would block people who are suspected of being dangerous from possessing a firearm is expected to be introduced in Colorado, setting up the next fight over gun control laws.

The bill would allow psychologists, nurses, family therapists and counselors to ask that a person’s name be entered into the national background check system, prohibiting possession of a firearm for a year.

This will never be abused….you know it, I know it…. They have our best interests at heart.

This is a diagram of an AR-15. Guns work by using the spring in the magazine to detonate the black powder inside the long tube at the end. The proton pack generates a powerful electromagnetic field that helps propel the bullet down the tube where it then exits and murders someone.

I am wiping my laptop as we speak…. WIN!!!!

The same dear Rep. Diana DeGette from the previous post at the same meeting assuring a citizen that Denver PD will be there for him….but he’d be dead anyway.

Seriously, who voted for this unfettered moron?

“What’s the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you, these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them” says Rep DeGette. According to her, “the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will be shot and there won’t be any more available.”

Sweet mother of Jesus! A Master Level of Sheer Stupidity has been unlocked. The Dark Side of the Force is a charley horse compared to this amount of brain malfunction.

“Who better to stand behind you when you’re trying to ban guns than police officers. What an awesome prop,” said Rossi. He said DPD officers should not be used as a backdrop to make it appear the Denver Police Department and the City of Denver support stronger gun control measure

Apparently not all is lost in the People’s Republic of Denver. Only Liberals can actually believe that a cop is happier telling a family that a loved one was murdered by a criminal instead of calling the morgue wagon to pick up the remains of a felon who faced an armed citizen and lost.

I just find a summary of what’s coming and apparently it will be voted under the Obamacare Principle: You Serfs do not need to know what’s in it, just take it.

That did not fare well in NY or Colorado. And there are a couple of things I read in the summary that are gonna make me chuckle sourly (but chuckle nonetheless) if they happen to be what I think.

I also have the feeling that the laws passes/about to be passed in these three states are so heavy-handed, they will collapse in the court of law. If this happens, I see the tide turning fast and heavy the other direction and a massacre at the polls against the Dems and Reps that voted for this crap.

As usual, keep the pressure on both your State and Federal congresscritter.
