• ‘We’re Not Going to Tolerate It’: Colo. Sheriffs Unite to Block ‘Unenforceable’ Gun Control Legislation

  @PISSANTNO.10:

  Thanks. At least someone bothered to read that novel I wrote.

  It’s not that I think if goes over Meteors head, as Google could quite quickly sort that out. I doubt he/she cares about facts enough to bother with a reasoned argument.

• Warning: You Will Probably Agree With Chris Matthews on This Issue

  May 23, 2013 at 5:30am

  Let’s be really friendly to the guy being interviewed…

  50 weeks per year x 5 days per week = 250 working days per year. (I ignore a few holidays, shut up).

  70,000 applications / 150 workers = 466.667 applications per worker per year.

  466.667 applications / 250 working days = 1.86668 applications per day per employee.

  Now considering he says there’s 300 pages of IRS regs to be applied (reason to maybe trim down the IRS code!?!?!?!?) and this is split between easy work for newbies and harder work for experienced people (nothing irregular in that)… I can’t imagine a backlog of more than 20% if staff is properly trained…

  None of this points to a need to “streamline” things by adding incredibly complicated questionnaires etc, etc.

  So you had a group of people who had >2 jobs to do per day, they couldn’t do them quickly enough (IRS code) so they made it more complicated in order to streamline things?

  @Metors cont.

  Further, the magazine bans state that weapons “readily convertible” to “banned” magazines are illegal. However they fail to clarify what “readily convertible” means. A pump shotgun with a 5 round tube could theoretically be banned because a 3-5 shot conversion kit can be added to the end of the tube by simply screwing it on.

  A rifle with a detachable magazine could be considered illegal if the owner uses mag-clamps/couplers to clamp together two magazines (I sometimes use them for 3 gun competitions) with a total capacity exceeding 15 rounds. There is also no way to determine when a magazine over 15 rounds was obtained, making the law impossible to enforce.

  Finally, because they failed to define “readily convertible” what a person is capable of doing “readily” varies from individual to individual. I happen to be a decent TIG welder. I can “readily” turn 2 or 3 or 4 magazines into 1 larger magazine in under 30 minutes if I choose to do so. Therefore, all my semi-auto pistols (none of which hold more than 12+1) are, to me, readily convertible (to 22-23+1) magazines if I wanted to do it.

  As a Colorado citizen, I’ll respond to a few of the posts here:

  Ranger: Personally, I don’t like cops, but I like the Sheriffs in this state. Here’s why. In the front range cities, mayors tend to be liberal and appoint liberal police chiefs. I live in Aurora and I can state plainly that the cops here are racist against non-white people, very eager to use violence, poorly trained (seen them pull a gun and hold it sideways “gangster style”) and basically uninformed of what the laws really are.

  Sheriffs are elected in Colorado, and therefore tend to be better than the Police Chiefs. Aurora is split between Adams and Arapahoe Counties. Both of those Sheriffs are in this suit, our Police Chief supports the new gun laws and has vowed to vigorously enforce them.

  @ Metors: These laws prevent law abiding people access to firearms because they are very, very vague. Under the law, it’s possible that my wife could be charged with a felony for picking up one of my guns in the event of a home invasion. The law can be read to mean: for every gun in a house, each person in the household must have a background check related to said firearm. 2 shotguns and 2 pistols means 4 background checks for each resident of the house. Accidentally grabbed a gun you didn’t get a check for? You’re going to jail along with the person(s) who invaded your home.

• The IRS, AP, and Benghazi Scandals are Just Part of the Obama Administration’s War on the Bill of Rights

  May 22, 2013 at 12:24am

  In reply to M24.

  I agree with Vet and Bought. Firstly, violence is absolutely the last line to cross, but also because it’s what this administration wants so they can point the finger and say “See, we told you Conservatives/gun owners/vets/anyone else we disagree with were crazy violent whackos!”.

  But on to M24. Surely the welfare state, as it exists now, saps people’s interest in working for what they want. I won’t disagree there.

  However, it goes deeper than that. In my mind, much of this is due to the educational system. There are fine teachers out there striving to give children the best education possible, but they have crazy union rules to follow, a bloated administration making nonsensical rules as well as the Dept. of Education to deal with.

  Currently, public schools are failing abysmally. It’s no surprise that many of the students coming out of them fail at life, because honestly, they’ve been trained/set up to fail. They’re woefully behind in math and science and schools have failed to prepare people who don’t need/want to go to college. Not to mention that many colleges are the same way.

  I went to an expensive private college, graduated in 2009 with a nice degree. It hangs on my wall. It never helped me get a job. Now I’m a welder. A field where a 20 year old with some talent can get a steady job at $65/hr +$120 per diem. Or you can go the traveling route in something like TIG and make $5000 a week.

• Megyn Kelly Goes Off on Guest Over Benghazi Talking Points: ‘Can We Have Some Honesty?’

  May 16, 2013 at 11:19pm

  At this point I have totally lost my patience with this whole thing.

  On all three ongoing scandals, Benghazi, the IRS and the AP I have only one thing to say.

  Either this administration and it’s appointees are hopelessly incompetent or they are liars.

  To steal from Ms. Clinton: At this point, what difference does it make? The answer is none. They have proven themselves to be horrible at governance and most likely corrupt (at least in the moral sense).

  They have given us an explosion of debt, a complete lack of oversight, a foreign policy that’s laughable, an energy policy that reeks of cronyism, a health care law that is at 200% of it’s original expected cost for the first decade of implementation and a deeply divided country then on top of that Benghazi as well as arguably significant assaults on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendments. They seem to have encouraged hardball-chicago-style-intimidation politics at all levels of government and throughout the bureaucracies.

  At this point, it doesn’t matter if they’re lying or just stupid. They need to go.

  This “There’s no scandal” BS will probably not hold up very long since a lot of even the MSM smells blood in the water now.

  This administration is going down in flames and only one thing can save it, the thing they are least likely to do, be 100% honest about EVERYTHING from now on.

  On the other hand, We The People were dumb enough to reelect Obama… so we all get to pay the piper.

  A testament to the safety improvements that racing has created, and thankfully passed down some of them to us.

• Barbed Wires, Chains, & a Wading Pool: Eerie Photos of Cleveland Kidnapper’s Backyard Emerge

  May 15, 2013 at 2:17am

  CNN people are so stupid it makes me cringe.

  Spools are barbed wire are somehow supposed to keep people out or in? It’s in SPOOLS moron, not strung around the yard!

  They care about bikes, a Power Wheels car and a kids basketball hoop, but totally ignore an expensive ($700+) RIDGID generator (probably these city dwelling liberal idiots have no idea what it is) left out in the middle of the yard as if the owner didn’t care if it rusted or not.

  In reply to Chancellor.

  Bondroid is right. Weekly is a stretch. Twice daily seems more reasonable.

  Use slugs, buckshot or something exotic next time… he won’t make it to the hospital.

  Personally, I use two rounds of Rhodesian Jungle, 9 pellet 00 buck (LE grade) and two slugs backed by 6 00 buck pellets in my home defense shotgun.
