Snowflakes in Hell

We’ve come to expect pretty biased coverage on our issue from the media, but I think this article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution is actually pretty balanced, presenting both sides of the issue. I applaud them for seeking out law enforcement opinions that basically say that criminals already hide guns in their car, despite what the law says, and taking time to actually research the issue.

UPDATE: Bitter doesn’t agree, and thinks it’s more anti-gun.  Given the media market I generally belong to, it’s balanced compared to anything I generally read in the Inquirer, which generally only produces articles not fit to use as toilet paper when it comes to the gun issue.

Over at Josh’s, he has the list. This is the usual suspects of Congressional gun haters. I would say, given this, it’s time to go to DEFCON 4 on this bill, and write your Congress Critter, but this still isn’t serious co-sponsorship yet.

I notice Chaka Fattah is on the list, as I would expect. He’ll want to play up his gun owner hating credentials for his Mayoral bid.

I guess Carolyn McCarthy, feeling bad about how utterly ineffective she is as a Congressworm, felt the need to tap some of her more friendly colleagues to bail her out of her embarrassment.

It’s a slow day. Lots to do at work, and lots of preparation for Bitter and my’s Texas Fun Time Shootout trip. I figured I’d crack open the stuff I’ve meant to blog about, but have kept in reserve for just such an occasion. From Clayton Cramer, we have this totally cool animated diagram of the Glock pistol.

For those of you who think that Austrian Tupperware is an affront to God, Country, and John Moses Browning, you can see a 1911 version of the same thing on this page.

I think Rudy might be shaping up to be our best hope for avoiding Hillary ‘08. I’ll admit, I don’t trust Rudy on the gun issue, but I’ll say one thing for him; he said he wouldn’t sign a new assault weapons ban. That’s more than I can say for Bush, who I don’t think has honestly done much for us, other than signing the PLCAA.

Other than on guns, I honestly don’t have any problems with Rudy on too many other issues. He’s always been a little strange and quirky, but considering my other choices are Mitt the Shit, and John “Screw The First Amendment” McCain, so far, I’m starting to warm to the idea of Rudy.

I know there are other Republican candidates out there, but I’m looking for someone who can defeat Hillary Clinton. I don’t think I have to explain to anyone how much of a disaster a Clinton presidency would be for us.

Of course, if the Democrats run Bill Richardson, that could alter the whole equation. But if you want my take, Hillary has already been anointed. Obama is just trying to get some exposure for his real run in 2012 if Hillary doesn’t win.
