My brain hurts. Help!
From the Daily Sound of Santa Barbara, CA.
I might actually need serious pain killers for the migraine I developed reading this. At least they didn’t say it shoots .50 caliber ammunition.
Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Shit My Students Write is a blog dedicated to share seriously stupid examples of … I really don’t know what to call it. Stuff like:
Dollree Mapp’s house was entered illegally by law enforcement officials without a labial search warrant.
or
The Octopus of Apathy is spreading its testicles throughout the land.
Done laughing? Now remember that these are the people that are supposed to take care of our country when we are ready to retire.
When I remember and have the chance, I tell New Shooters of our Club’s Gun Safety Rules As Told By The Safety Officer:
1) Don’t shoot me.
2) Don’t shoot anybody else.
3) Don’t shoot yourself.
Make sure you follow Rules #1 and #2 religiously. If you don’t, people will shoot you back.
The New shooters usually laugh till they realize I am looking at them with a stern face and then they get very quiet. Of course we are not gonna shoot them, but leaving the doubt in their minds makes for a very safe shooting environment.
Harsh you say? Beats being shot accidentally.
Sign in a Venezuelan store:”Closed due to lack of safety. Father and Son shot.
Hugo Chavez’s paradise is mentioned in the Global Burden of Armed Violence as the fourth most violent country in the world. It is also mentioned as the only country that fulfill all the requirements they recommend to reduce gun violence. These are requirements that would make Schummer, Feinstein, Brady, Ladd and the rest leap for joy and announce to the world that social peace was now at hand. But somehow the total contradiction is lost in them.
Civilians are pretty much screwed in Venezuela. Police is heavily corrupt and useless and that is when they are not themselves participating in crimes. Forget about trying to get a gun for self defense unless you are part of “The Project” (euphemism for The Chavez Revolution) or grease enough skids to obtain your permit and gun. And be ready to shell some more (lots) of dough if you actually have to defend yourself since it might be illegal to do so.
Of course, criminals have no problem obtaining guns. Hell, they even get all artistically creative with their guns and ammo when they are in love!
The Occupy Wall Street idiots scaring little kids on their way to school. But check at 00:58
That tall SOB would have ended up staring at the wrong end of my sidearm and with the rest of his life quantified in seconds, not years. I am a patient man who tolerates abuse from stupid people almost everyday, but to stoop so low as to terrorize children for your “political” reasons is just one step above Chechen terrorists killing the kids at Beslam.
