If They’re So Deadly, and Only Good for “Spray Fire” – “Laying Down A High Volume of Fire Over a Wide Killing Zone” – Then WHY ARE THE POLICE ARMED WITH THEM?

And why do they get the eeeeeevil short barrels and collapsible stocks?

(Thanks, Mac.)

WOOHOO! 500 Visits!

(ahem!)

It’s not like my life revolves around this thing, but it’s nice to know that blogging isn’t just me playing with myself.

The blog is not yet three weeks old, and it’s had 500 hits.

Thanks for reading. Thanks to the few of you who have commented (when the comments were actually working.)

And I’m still waiting for my first hate mail.

“For one thing, I don’t think it would be enforceable,”

I’ve seen this a few places, but this story is the one I found most interesting.

It appears that the plan to disarm the Iraqis has racheted down a bit. The current plan has been revised to prohibit the possession of anything more powerful than 7.62mm caliber assault rifles. Handguns, shotguns, bolt-action rifles, everything up to and including AK-47’s are OK for civilians to keep. Heavier weapons; crew-served machineguns, RPGs, anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons, mortars and other “indirect fire” weapons, mines and explosives are not allowed.

Here’s the money quote:

While U.S. officials gave no public explanation for amending what had been a much tougher plan to rid postwar Iraq of heavy weapons, military officials have said they recognize the difficulties in disarming citizens at a time when Iraqis feel their personal safety is still at risk.

I have news for you. It’s not enforceable here, either. Feinstien, McCarthy, Schumer et. al., take note.

REPEAL THE 17th AMENDMENT!

The Plain Truth has a piece on the 17th Amendment up that I fully concur with. There is also this piece on the CNN website from back in 2002 on the same topic by John Dean. (Yes, THAT John Dean.) There’s a whole movement for the idea, as exemplified by this piece from the Ludwig von Mises Institute, this column from Enter Stage Right, this site dedicated to the idea, and there are several more links at this site.

I don’t know how the rest of you feel about it, but as far as I’m concerned the Founders knew what the hell they were doing. The 17th Amendment was every bit as boneheaded as the 18th, and far more damaging to our Republic. It was the biggest step this country took towards becoming a true democracy, with all that that entails. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And we’ve been paying the price ever since.

And if you don’t know what the 17th Amendment was, shame on you. Go READ.

This Will Put Their Panties in a Wad

I imagine if Diane Feinstien and Carolyn McCarthy saw THIS

they’d get really uptight.

No flash hider. No bayonet lug. No collapsable or folding stock. ~~Post-~~ PRE-ban 30-round mags fit & function. Made in the good old USA buy Robinson Armament Co. for $1,899.99.

Yup. I expect the gang-bangers are lining up to buy these weapons of mass destruction.

Robinson Armament Co. is based in Salt Lake.

Somehow I doubt the Mormons would be willing to surrender their “assault weapons” if McCarthy or Feinstein got their way.
