Missouri Highway Patrol sells the people it's sworn to protect down the river

Two times now, the MHP has asked for, received and shared with the federal government, exactly who in Missouri has obtained a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit.

The full story is here.

While not a gun registry per se, it is a registry of who has applied for and received a permit to conceal a weapon on their person legally.  Missouri law does not allow this.  It is up to MO AG Chris Koster to investigate and prosecute this. 

Edit: Please forgive me, law enforcement is not sworn to protect people, they are sworn to uphold and enforce the law. 

After his political dysfunction, Weiner wants to stand erect again.

Anthony Weiner, after having his politcal balls cut out from underneath him, wants to run for mayor of New York. He'll be standing in the Hamptons announcing his candidacy.

Hell & No

Environmental wackos these days, watcha gonna do with them?  It seems that six groups feel the need to pester peaceably armed citizens about the lead they fill their hands with, when it comes time to harvest Bambi. 

Tam, back in 2010 had something to say about this previously.

* There is anecdotal evidence that the banning of traditional ammunition would have an adverse impact on government bureaucrat populations.

It would also have an adverse impact on environmentalist and junk scientist populations.

Whatcha doin? Imma fixin to call me out some cracka gun shop owners.

So Jesse Jackson is gonna march on gun shops?  Part of an industry that had a 30.6 percent job growth between 2008 and 2011, he's going to attack a growing part of our economy where jobs to be created.  How fun is it going to be watching this foul piece of humanity leave loafer prints on his genitalia. 

Consequences, a parent spared the rod, and now the child is spoiled

Courtesy of Weerd, it is jaw dropping that there is no remorse shown by either of these spoiled brats.  You have to wonder, where did the money come from for Starbucks. 

When the HuffPo offers you chocolate. sniff it first

Because it might be a load of bullshit instead.

This treaty is the wet dream of every despotic tyrant on the face of the earth.  

Not even firearms are immune to the call of free gubmint cheese

Corporate welfare? For the gun industry? In this era, where gun sales are going through the roof?  

Up is down, left is right, and New York of all places is where this is happening. 

Collectivist in training "feels" that guns on college campus' are a bad thing, mmm'kay?

So Jess Coleman, a 17 year old statist publishes a piece that attackes the
notion that guns on college campuses would be a good thing.  His reasoning is thus;

The argument that guns act as a deterrent is absurd. As Wentworth mentioned, the killer at Virginia Tech was a “deranged, suicidal madman.” That kind of person will surely not be scared of students with guns, especially considering he planned to kill himself anyway.

So a gun is not a deterrent? And I would ask, would he pull a gun on a person knowing that their opponent had the means to defend themselves? I sure as hell wouldn't. But, then again, it is all about projection of the leftist's feeling that matters, not simple facts.

I don't think he realize's he's low hanging fruit

So some Hollywood blogger gets a hard on about rounding up tea party members and sending them to reeducation camps. I don't believe the blogger has ever heard of the Clinton rules of engagement. From Sipsey Street Irregulars

Second, please recall Bill Clinton's rules of engagement as applied to the Serbs in 1999, wherein he decided that the political leaders, bureaucratic support structure, media infrastructure and intellectual underpinnings of his enemies' war effort were legitimate targets of war. No one else may have been paying attention to the unintended consequences of that, but many folks on our side of the present divide were.

Second, when democracy becomes tyranny, I still get to vote. So there Comrade Wells, don't start none, won't be none. Or, are you feeling froggy?

This January will warm you up

I'm talking about January Jones.

BATFE seeks to circumvent Congress and add onerous regulations to purchasing long arms

Kurt Hoffman brings us up to date on an NRA-ILA alert. This is all in relation to Mexico's assertion that many of the guns used by drug gangs in Mexico originate here in the U.S.  For more history on this, go here.

Of course, the BATFE is trying to enact this new regulation bereft of congressional input at all.  Currently only multiple handgun purchases are required to be reported per the Gun Control Act of 1968.

They are trying to sneak this past without passing a new law.  I can't think of a better time for them to attempt this, than right now, with Congress' collective attention on another Omnibus spending bill that has the nations undivided consideration. 

Making our DemocracyRepublic Work

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has come out with a book titled Making Our Democracy Work. The title itself is misleading in that America is not a democracy, despite what statists and socialists would have us believe.  It is in fact, a constitutional republic. 

In an interview with Christopher Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Breyer states that the Second Amendment was meant to place a restriction on the right to keep and bear arms. 





In the interview, Breyer goes on to talk about how the court should take a pragmatic view.  His judicial philosophy is to view the Constitution as a core set of values that must be applied according to the moment. 

Of course, values are flexible and can be changed.  One might value a seemingly rare item, and once that item has outlived its usefulness, it's value would decline. 

A judge, a politician, the average citizen that adheres to a set of core principles is much more interesting and is the answer to restoring the republic.  Allowing democracy to take hold is a recipe for disaster.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Lisa "Wendy Whiner" Murkowski it seems is upset that Alaska TV & radio stations are running ads for the Tea Party Express. Ads, Murkowski says they are under a "legal and moral obligation" not to run. 

Murkowski is all butt hurt because the claim is being made that her interest lies solely in self preservation, not in serving the people of Alaska.

Pot, I'd like to introduce you to kettle. Kettle, please meet pot, you're both black. 

Woops! be careful of where and when you raise your hand

It seems that someone playing an expensive practical joketrying to be helpful bid on a Bugatti Veyron.  The winning bidder then stated his intention to renege on the deal and Barrett-Jackson, in protecting the buyer bought the car.  All $700,000 of it.  


Be careful of how you scratch your nose the next time your at the local estate sale, that armoir that youfind hideous but that your great aunt thinks would look great in her spare bedroom may be yours.

Politicians - showing them the love/hate

Politicians, from the root Politics - Poly - meaning many and tic meaning blood sucking parasite.  I still chuckle at Dave Berry's definition.  With that in mind, those who seek political office are courting us for our tick (heh, totally unintentional) next to their name come November.  The Democritters are running scared, as it looks like they are going to have their heads handed to them on a platter.  The Rethuglicans are biting their nose despite their face and not kaboshing incumbents who won't take their ball and go home after getting trounced in primary races earlier this year.  Summing up a lot of people's thought on this election are these gems from here.

Again: Just because I'll probably vote for you, doesn't mean I like you.


And just because I don't like you it doesn't mean I like the other guys. 

Another: Nor does it mean I will continue to vote for you.

Even the one or two candidates that spout pretty words and MIGHT actually have a shred of integrity in their souls I wouldn't invite into my home.  I'd have to decontaminate the entire place afterwards. 

QOTD - Free Country (NOT) edition

Massachussetts governor "Cadillac" Deval Patrick recently spoke on a radio show about Glenn Becks recent 8/28 rally. Governor Patrick had this to say.

“It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t, but . . . it’s a free country,”

Now let that sink in and percolate in your grey matter for awhile.

You can undo anything these days it seems.  Atheists are now un-baptizing themselves with a hair dryer. 

Noted atheist  Edwin Kagan performed a ceremony in which people came forward to where Kagan would use a hair dryer to symbolically dry the baptismal water from their heads.  Isn't it ironic that atheists, who reject the idea of the symbolism of a baptizing, use a very similiar ceremony to reverse what has been done to them?

The money quote

"I was baptized Catholic. I don't remember any of it at all," said 24-year-old Cambridge Boxterman. "According to my mother, I screamed like a banshee ... so you can see that even as a young child I didn't want to be baptized. It's not fair. I was born atheist, and they were forcing me to become Catholic."

Um, skippy, yeah, not so much.  You were probably an infant when this  happened.  Life isn't fair either.   And you were born an atheist?  That statement implies that you were predetermined to become one.  Predetermination, a most metaphysical subject.

Could the NRA be running a Machievellian play on the DISCLOSE act?

Uproar this week over the NRA seeking an exemption within the DISCLOSE act  has many a blogger and radio talk show host livid at the nation's first civil rights organization. 

With the NRA pulling it's opposition to the act with the exemption brokered by Heath Schuler D-NC, it has left other politically active organizations screaming rightly so bloody murder over what they'll be subjected to should this legislation pass. 

Perhaps the NRA is looking at this as a win-win.  If the DISCLOSE act passes with their exemption,  they're golden and can continue being the 800 lb gorilla in the gun rights room.  If the bill dies, they still get to run their campaigns. 

It's a mighty dangerous game to be playing with political free speech on the line with this bill.  One of the most cherished rights we as a nation hold is being casually bandied about by a single issue organization.  Thanks, but no thanks NRA.  You can pry my free speech from my cold dead tongue.
