• Why Is Retail Giant Target Trying to Scan Your Driver’s License for This Seemingly Simple Purchase?

  My local Walmart is still selling ammo and appears to still be getting new orders in. Granted, they’re almost always sold out of everything but 30-06, but the other day I found some Russian Tul-Ammo in the caliber I was looking for. It’s has steel cases, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.

  After some brief searching around, there’s little doubt in my mind that the allegation that Walmart is no longer selling ammo is a flat out myth.

  I’m sure you already know that it’s an industry wide shortage; it’s not just Wally World, and any shop owner or employee will tell you that everything is back ordered.

• FDA Urged to Regulate Product That Acts Like a ‘Slow-Acting But Ruthlessly Efficient Bioweapon’ … Soda

  There’s a reason HFCS is so ubiquitous here in the States… Hmm… Is it the meddling with the sugar cane prices via import tariffs? Maybe it’s the government imposed quotas, and subsidies of US grown corn? Similar reason they’re using ethanol in our fuel, despite 0.001 % of the population actually wanting it. More solutions from people who know best.

  Really, people?

  Can’t have soda, can’t have too much salt, this is bad for you. We’ll inspect your home if you have a certain kind of weapon.

  Why is it so hard to understand that some of us can think for ourselves and just want to be left the crap alone? I am an adult, thank you very much. I don’t need anyone to inspect, control, or confiscate anything of mine or anything I do. If someone else gets hurt, hold me fully accountable, but until then, go away. If I get hurt from my own actions, I won’t blame anyone but myself.

  Hey, a lot of us here share your sentiment toward the “filler” stories, but insulting a publication’s readership isn’t exactly a productive means of influencing them. Short of some form of clairvoyance, how do you know that readers here aren’t visiting other sources?

  If you really want to steer people toward something better, please, by all means. (Honestly: I mean this in complete sincerity and am not employing sarcasm) Are you serious when you suggest CNN or HuffPo? Hypothetically, one could glean _something_ from the MSM, but the average reader would have to visit myriad MSM publications every day, just to filter out a mere few morsels of actual, verifiable news. It’s like the old cartoon of a giant timber being cut down to a toothpick, the scrap wood discarded. To me, even if I had the time it’s simply not worth the effort, so I visit several news aggregator sites. Granted, my solution isn’t ideal, and quite honestly, I would love to hear of a real source of news that constitutes something “easy,” but it’s just not happening anymore and hasn’t been happening for a long time. I’ll concede that the Blaze seems to be slacking a bit on the actual content as of late, so what’s your constructive solution?

  Today’s generous portion of trolling has been brought to you by the “Cyber Warriors for 0þamα” Project, and by viewers like you. After all, trolling is best left to the professionals.

• HACKED: TV Station’s Emergency Alert System Warns That ‘Bodies of the Dead Are Rising From Their Graves’

  They would have achieved a better effect had they used text to speech – that would have been truly creepy.

  Pretty hilarious watching the burnt pancakes getting dubbed over…

  Not nearly as cool as the Captain Midnight stunt in 1986, though.

• SEAL Who Allegedly Shot and Killed Bin Laden Reveals Stunning New Details About the Raid — And You Won’t Believe How He Says the Gov’t Has Treated Him Since

  In reply to RamahX.

  To all of you, and you know who you are:

  Sincere gratitude is the least I can offer. If our military suddenly became pacifists, the bad guys would not magically revert to their default state of benevolence amongst rainbows and unicorns. Without seriously talented individuals pushing back hard, the public would be educated very quickly on how “tolerant” and peace loving the enemy is. Thank you for the thankless, mostly anonymous service, operators or otherwise, you have generously volunteered for and excelled at. Most human beings would never even hope to have 10% of the mental stamina necessary. Some of you say there are no more American heroes – you’d be wrong. You’re not asking for accolade, and so we may not offer it overtly, but it is definitely there, even if you can’t hear it. You make the rest of us think, “Man, I wish I could do that. I wish I had tried.” Sure the rest of us hardly know anything of what it’s really like, but we still look up to you.

  I, and I’m sure many others still believe that the majority of our military is filled with honorable individuals. Knowing this honor exists gives us hope that maybe someday we’ll have some honorable, humble leadership in this nation again, and that maybe there’s hope that corruption and pure evil aren’t the future of the country. We silently thank you and wish we had the opportunity to do it more. I can’t be the only one.

• Former Navy SEAL & ‘American Sniper’ Author Chris Kyle Reportedly Killed at TX Lodge

  How does a person respond to something so tragic? No comment on an Internet board seems fitting.

  I certainly don’t want to sound insensitive toward the content of the article, but I found it frustrating to read because it’s difficult to ascertain the details of what actually happened.

  Also, I realize I’m nitpicking here, but…
  “Blaze Front Page Editor Jon Seidl spent time on the same ranch where the shooting occurred earlier this fall”

  The shooting occurred earlier this fall? Now, I realize the “when” of the article was described earlier, but I had to read the sentence twice in my pre-coffee grogginess.

• President Calls for New Assault Weapons Ban, Universal Background Checks

  Ah, so the second amendment advocates gun regulations, huh?

  Speak freely! One who makes the allegation above demonstrably lacks any regulation of thought and speech.

  (We’re all laughing at you.)

• So What Is an ‘Assault Rifle’ Really? We Look at the Definitions and How the Term Is ‘Demonized’

  January 11, 2013 at 3:08pm

  In reply to Lloyd Drako.

  @Lloyd Drako

  “But, if fitted with high-capacity magazines (say, 10 or more rounds), they are of no use for hunting or range firing,”

  People do hunt small game with these… There are plenty of rifles with wooden stocks that look different and are functionally equivalent. Besides, how does having more ammo available make it “of no use” for hunting? More ammo means more chances to hit your target. At worst, higher capacity is of no real advantage, but it doesn’t detract from usefulness for hunting. I’m just applying conventional logic here.

  Firing at the range? I recently took a marksmanship class where hitting lots of targets in an allotment of time was required. Not changing out ammo would have been really beneficial, and larger mags were an advantage for some people there. Two AR-15s used by their respective participants were of great use at this event.

  “…while home or personal defense, a revolver or “automatic” (really semi-automatic) pistol would serve as well or better. ”
  Maybe, maybe not. The AR-15 was made for relatively close range. Plenty of police use them for this purpose, for example.

  Have you ever fired or held a firearm, or have you merely read about them?
