• ‘We…Aren’t Going to Take S**t From Homophobes’: Mysterious Pro-Firearm Ads Use Gays, Seemingly Topless Lesbians to Rail Against Gun Control

  Lol. The purpose of these phony ads is so transparent it’s idiotic. They really must be targetting people that are morons if they expect them not to see through that nonsense, lol.

• Confusion Erupts in IRS Hearing After Lois Lerner Tries to Plead the 5th — Watch It All Unfold

  In reply to DarthMims.

  Wrong on every conceivable level. You have absolutely no understanding of what the 5th amendment actually says or what it’s intent is.

• ‘Put Your Face in the Dirt’: Handgun-Wielding Woman Bravely Confronts Man Trying to Break Into Her Home

  In reply to Contessa.

  She could see him pretty clearly. I know it may be news but they invented these new things recently called windows. Besides she was probably exaggerating about him being five inches from her barrel. She was probably trying to make it sound more dramatic by painting a picture of some kind of dirty hairy scenario.

  I love how we’re always being told only highly trained people with decades of experience can possibly handle a gun without killing themselves, but every crack head buffoon is an expert hand to hand combatant capable of disarming and killing anyone with a gun. Stop with the idiocy already.

• Footage of a Base Jumper Falling 1,000 Feet Is Hard to Watch — But He Lives!

  In reply to rpa1121.

  It’s not an analogy. It’s an illustration of the idiotic level of inconsistency. We have a million laws regulating mundane BS in everyone’s lives designed to protect people from their own stupidity. Yet supremely stupid morons like this are celebrated for surviving the results of their moronic decisions.

• Anti-Gay Bias or Fair Punishment? New Details Emerge About High School Student’s Lesbian Relationship With a Minor

  May 22, 2013 at 6:19pm

  In reply to Keatonc333.

  So she’s supposedly a genius, but she doesn’t realize a high school senior is generally four years older than a high school freshman? Is that really what you’re going with?

• Confusion Erupts in IRS Hearing After Lois Lerner Tries to Plead the 5th — Watch It All Unfold

  The whole pleading the 5th thing was nonsense to begin with.

  As an IRS employee she is already immune from criminal prosecution. That automatically invalidates the 5th amendment protection.

  Besides the 5th amendment only applies specifically to protecting someone from being forced to prove the prosecutions case in a criminal investigation/trial. This is a congressional hearing where she is a material witness, not a criminal defendant. The 5th amendment protection doesn’t even apply even if it weren’t already invalidated as a result of her immunity from prosecution.

  And to top it off the 5th amendment only protects you from being forced to testify. Even if it wasn’t already doubly inapplicable she would have had to outright refuse to testify for the assertion of 5th amendment protection to be valid. Once you begin testifying, which is what she did, you cannot then decide what questions you are going to answer or not. You cannot selectively testify. You either do it or you don’t.

• Awkward: Former IRS Head Says He ‘Really Can’t Recite the Constitution’ When Pressed by GOP Rep.

  May 22, 2013 at 5:38pm

  In reply to high school drop out.

  That’s all just one idiot. I’m pretty sure at this point it’s somebody from media matters since every post he makes is just copy and pasted media matters talking points.

• Awkward: Former IRS Head Says He ‘Really Can’t Recite the Constitution’ When Pressed by GOP Rep.

  May 22, 2013 at 5:36pm

  “To be fair, there are likely many who couldn’t recite every amendment on command”

  He wasn’t asked to recite every amendment. He wasn’t even asked to recite a single amendment. What he was asked was if he was aware that those amendments existed and what the general purpose of them are.

  As a government employee that is tasked with carrying out the functions of government as specified by the constitution, he is not only expected but required to know the constitution. His job is impossible to competently perform without intimate knowledge of the constitution and what it requires of the government and prohibits it from doing.

• Some Good News: Okla. Medical Examiner Revises Death Toll Down to 24

  May 21, 2013 at 5:31pm

  Frankly I’m getting pretty tired of people rushing out casualty counts that prove to be way off the mark. Why are people in such a rush to put a number out there before the dust has even settled. Just wait intil there is solid information available and stop all the pointless speculation in an attempt to be the first to break the news.

• Tech Company Demonstrates Remote Disabling of a ‘Smart Gun’

  May 21, 2013 at 5:07pm

  Even if the technology becomes reliable enough to serve it’s stated purpose this is a dangerous road to go down. Next you have a “every gun must be a smart gun” law, which effectively serves as a total gun ban, without the messy business of having to bother squaring a gun ban with the constitution. Several states already previously attempted to pass such laws despite the technology not even existing at the time they attempted it.
