And they are asked, in all seriousness, by CNN anchors"They often shoot to kill," Blitzer said of police. "Why do they have to shoot to kill? Why can’t they shoot a warning shot in the air, scare someone off if they think they’re in danger. Why can’t they shoot to, injure, shall we say? Why do they have to shoot to kill ( Read more... )

But, you know, we all knew this already anyway, right ( Read more... )

That does what I need this one to do for my plot.

Mainly because the design is completely stupid, redundant, and unnecessary. Apparently you can build a double-barreled shotgun with pump action, but no one makes one. For obvious reasons, now that I've thought about it.

But I need it for my plot.And, you know, maybe it seems ridiculous to be ( Read more... )

Never one to back down from shitty advice, VP Joe Biden has, instead, decided to double down on it instead:

"...you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."

SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY??? JOE. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING.

First of all, you are apparently unaware of the fact that you should never ever shoot ( Read more... )

Warning: language ahead. I'm letting this clown have it with (heh) both barrels. And no, I'm not cutting it or locking it because I have had it up to here with these arrogant, clueless assholes telling me what I "need." Deal ( Read more... )

You know I love you.

But.

I'm pretty sure that a guy who's been committed numerous times would not be able to legally buy a firearm in a regular gun store under Federal law, not to mention New Jersey's much more stringent firearms laws. You have to actually possess a state permit to purchase a long gun (or any kind of gun, for that matter) in NJ ( Read more... )

This is the second time I've gotten embroiled in a discussion with someone who thinks that gun owners need to be licensed and registered and insured, "just like car owners." The insurance is in case someone breaks into my house, steals my gun (you know, the one I lost in that terrible volcano accident), and uses it in a criminal act ( Read more... )

I have blown past the midpoint and am now sitting at 26,200 words so far, which gives me 2900 words on my day--and which means I'll probably go for that extra hundred after I finish this entry just because. I revised my "Ideal Goal" down to 2000 words per day, because that's actually hittable and I'd rather encourage myself with something I can ( Read more... )

for everyone who thinks we need to ban guns in America. Or ban certain kinds of guns. Or ban high-capacity magazines. The handsome and hard-working Larry Correia lays out his credentials, and why all of that is a very bad idea, in a calm and thoughtful manner.

Yes, it's long. And everybody should read every single word. I'm not kidding.
