• 3D-Printed Gun Makes It Through Transportation Security Undetected

  May 13, 2013 at 1:21pm

  In reply to shin.

  Yeah, I don’t get it. It’s like they’re declaring “We were able to get everything through security except the critical pieces that make it a gun.” They might as well take a wooden rifle stock through and say that they got a rifle through security.

• ‘Gosnell Should Be Acquitted’: Feminist Argues That Abortion Doc Should Be Released, Trial Is a ‘Sham’ — But It’s Not What You Think

  May 2, 2013 at 7:28pm

  It’s funny (not really) that she makes the same arguments I make *against* abortion. If it’s not OK at point X, then why was it OK 5 minutes before that?

• Florida Police Officer Fired for Bringing Trayvon Martin Targets to Shooting Practice

  April 14, 2013 at 9:56am

  We can argue all day whether there *should* be repercussions for something like this. But this officer is an absolute moron for not recognizing that there *would* be. Not the kind of judgment that I would feel comfortable knowing he’s out there on the streets “protecting” me. That’s the judgment, every time he draws his weapon, deciding whether or not to end someone’s life.

• NYPD Installs License Plate Readers to Record Info on Every Car Heading Into Manhattan

  March 14, 2013 at 5:28pm

  Here’s how I see this playing out: A terrorist or criminal driving a car with known plates will stop at a rest stop on the NJ turnpike. There, he will wait for some schmoe to run in and take a dump. At that time, license plates will be switched.

  When the guy comes back out and gets in his car and heads into the city, he will enjoy a tense encounter with police. And that’s in the best case. Worst case, he ends up in Gitmo trying to explain that all he did that day is get up and take a dump at some rest stop.

• Flight Attendants Union Blasts TSA for Allowing Knives, Golf Clubs on Planes: ‘A Poor and Shortsighted Decision’

  March 5, 2013 at 3:32pm

  Why are these people looking to the TSA to define these regulations? Can’t they just lobby their airlines to just not permit knives on board? Then people could choose whether or not they would feel comfortable working for or flying on a given airline. Why do we need to force the TSA to blanket everyone all the time?

  I have an even better idea. Get rid of the TSA and each airline can have security check points at every gate. If people want to be strip searched or have their body cavities inspected, they could choose an airline that offers that level of security. I would personally be patronizing the airline that just uses a little common sense and doesn’t make little girls cry.

• Miami-Dade Police Officers Fired After Vid Shows Them Flagrantly Ignoring Emergency Calls

  February 5, 2013 at 2:01pm

  This story makes me think of two things.

  First, it should be no surprise that people routinely are harassed while recording the actions of police officers in public. Would they want things like this ending up on YouTube?

  Second, ultimately, we are each responsible for our own safety. When your life is in danger, are you willing to wager it against the fact that maybe not everyone in the chain of events starting with the 911 call cares about it as much as you do?

  Sure, this is obviously a small percentage of officers and many are very dedicated and heroic and blah blah blah blah blah. Courts have ruled that officers have no obligation to protect you and to many of them, it’s just a job, no more important than coffee or shopping.

  All the while, politicians and gun banners tell us that there’s no good reason to be armed because we have police and soldiers to keep us safe. Well, next time you have a gun pointed in your face or are being raped, consider the fact that the person coming to help you might be shopping instead.

  Get a gun, get licensed, get trained, and put your safety back into your own hands. And if you live in a place where that is not legally permitted, you need to ask yourself how much you value your own life.

• Wis. Sheriff Who Encouraged Residents to Arm Themselves Takes On Anti-Gun Piers Morgan

  January 30, 2013 at 12:15am

  What I don’t get is why anyone cares what Piers Morgan has to say on the subject (or any subject, for that matter). The guy is a nobody with an opinion, yet it seems like every time I turn around, it’s “Piers Morgan versus So and So in the Gun Control Debate.”

  I almost said I’d rather hear from Bloomberg, but then I came to my senses and realized I’d rather die first.

• MSNBC Host: ‘I Thank God and Country…Abortion Was There to Save Me’

  January 25, 2013 at 9:37pm

  What an absolute, self-centered, self-absorbed A-hole.

• TX State Rep. Who Vowed to Fight Obama’s Gun Control Measures Has Fiery Clash With CNN Host

  January 16, 2013 at 5:03pm

  In reply to WillG.

  I contacted my state representative and urged him to stand with Mr. Toth. I recommend every Texan do the same.

  Washington is broken. The only hope is for states to stand up and push back and say, “enough is enough.” The Constitution is not subject to polls, political whims, media hype, or “common sense” regulation which has no bit of common sense attached.

• New Poll Shows Majority of Americans Support NRA’s Plan to Put Armed Guards in Schools

  January 15, 2013 at 1:13am

  In reply to mikegray24.

  I’m fairly certain that the NRA was just trying to find something that sounds good that they can get people behind so that they can deflect some of the damage that the gun grabbers are hitting us with. I’m not saying it’s completely disingenuous but I’m saying that they found something that lets them defend against the accusation that they have no solutions to offer to solve the “problem.” Maybe they seriously believe it will work and is doable, but it was a carefully chosen idea.

  I’m a life member and I appreciate what they’re trying to accomplish but it’s just not a good idea on several fronts.
