Snowflakes in Hell

… but we al have to remember that guns are evil.

Apparently I’m now one of Wayne LaPerre’s right wing attack dogs.  I feel happy I managed to engage Bob Ricker in the comments over at Bitter’s.  Let’s look at some of what Bob had to say:

Me: So how many members are up to so far Bob?

Bob: More than enough to cause the “whackos” in the gun rights movement serious problems.

So we’re all “whackos” now eh?  AHSA claims to represent shooters.  I am a shooter, by most anyone’s definition.  They think I’m a whacko.

Bob: I don’t understand why you self defense whackos are so concerned about how AHSA elects its directors or our how the organizations finances work.

Because self-defense is oh so whacko.  Normal people have no desire for self-preservation!  Either way, the reason to be concerned is because it speaks to whether AHSA is a real grass roots organization, or a front to give anti-gun Democrats political cover to keep crapping all over your rights.  Good thing the plot didn’t work.  So Schoenke says on Kos:

And remember, NRA rarely acknowledges defeat. That’s why they lead off their attack on AHSA with references to old wins in the 1994 congressional elections and Bush’s win in 2000 despite his having lost the popular vote.  However, the NRA attack dogs fail to mention that Democrats did take back the Senate in 2000 by defeating pro-NRA candidates in Washington, Missouri, Michigan, Delaware and Florida.

I’m not even going to get into why none of these matter, but it’s good to see AHSA showing its true colors here, as a tool of the Democratic Party.  Keep digging guys, that hole of irrelvancy you’ve been working on isn’t quite deep enough.

High tension lines really can light up fluorescent lights.  The Barenaked Ladies even wrote a song about it:

A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good
I can put a spare bulb in my hand
And light up my yard

Someone we all know is in attendance here, but I’m not saying who.  The giant pig is a nice touch, I think, and no one is more deserving of getting the big pig treatment than John Murtha.

On Fifthpower’s entrance into the world.

Rightwingprof has the data up.  Looks pretty interesting.  Ahab says it’s because of the election.  Things were looking bleak for us in 1993.  I’m sure a lot of those gun purchases were intended to be buried in back yards in the period where politicians talking to Mr. and Mrs. America about turning them all in.

Strangely enough, I haven’t been in a black rifle buying mood.  I really should consider it, because the economy isn’t looking too good, and by the time the threat is really upon us, I might not have the money.  Of course, that’s gambling that they won’t make us turn them in this time.  The real danger of an Obama presidency is that he is naive about this issue, and about life in the country outside of Chicago.  Hillary has felt the sting of the gun vote before.  Obama has not.  To some degree, that makes Obama the bigger threat to the second amendment.

Looks like a three part series covering their Masada, The folding SMG, and their PDW:

Neat

I have no idea who it is that’s doing this VPC blog, but they need to keep it up, and come to the Second Amendment Blog Bash, so I can buy them a beer.  It’s top notch satire.

This Tuesday, Red’s Trading Post will have its day in federal court to challenge the ATF’s revocation of their federal firearms license.  I wish him luck in his case.  Hopefully, he won’t need it, given ATF’s track record in court.

Eight people shot in #1 Brady Ranked southern California.  Hard to say if this one was another loon, or just a gang conflict gone horribly awry.  Doesn’t really matter too much.  California’s strict gun laws failed to protect these people in either instance.
