Snowflakes in Hell

Sorry for the light blogging tonight.   I’ll be liveblogging the convention.   For your entertainment tonight, be sure to read Bill Whittle’s latest essay.

Ahab has several posts on Don’s Guns of Indianapolis. He’s not a big fan of Don, and his support of local gun control measures. As soon as he mentioned this I could swear seeing this name before, and sure enough, I have. I’m not sure where I originally ran into this guy, but my first instinct was “I’m not sure I’d rent or buy a gun from a guy who doesn’t know to keep his finger off the trigger and keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.”

I agree with Ahab. I think it’s a safe bet this guy is a bozo, and man, that laugh is just creepy. I’d rather this guy was selling something other than guns.

Just because it’s your sandbox, doesn’t mean you should be a brat to all the other kids in the neighborhood, because they don’t want to play the same way you do. It’s a good lesson, I think.

UPDATE: The continuing controversy is making me consider proposing a new verb:

Althoused
verb

1. The act of being shunned, dismissed, ridiculed, and insulted by lefty bloggers for disagreeing with them on the issues of the day.  Can also be caused by pointing out lefty hypocrisies.

Usage: #9 got seriously althoused over at KnoxViews.

Hopefully Prof. Althouse isn’t insulted by this proposed verb, but she’s the most prominent target of this type of behavior I’ve seen to date.  But it appears she’s not the only one who causes the lefty blogosphere to start stoking the fire underneath the stakes.

I’m still debating whether to take the Glock along to St. Louis.   I’ve never checked a firearm before, since I don’t travel much by plane.  I’ve always been kind of worried about getting a clueless ticket agent or TSA drone, and having complications and missing the flight.   Or, even worse, have them lose my luggage.
