For those of you glued to this blog for Second Amendment/Gun control posts– DON’T BOTHER READING THIS BLOG ANYMORE!!!! I now use MikeB’s blog, http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/, to post that material. You will be seeing more of the things that interest me, and a few anoraks, here from now on.

When Mike B posted this, it didn’t have the animation. I managed to get the animated pic from the Brain Police:

I’m reposting this for a variety of reasons. First off, I am amazed it hasn’t been discovered as of yet. Secondly, I am amazed it hasn’t been shouted down off the Internet. Thirdly, what it says needs to be better publicised: http://studentactivism.net/2009/04/14/concealed-carry-laws-and-school-safety-evidence-from-the-1940s-and-1950s/ StudentActivism.net is the work of Angus Johnston, a historian and advocate of American [...]

I was at Ohh Shoot and saw the current post: Homecoming queen unintentionally shot and killed at fraternity house. Now, the usual line is that victims of gun violence are criminal scum, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with this particular victim. One caption about this incident read that Ashley Cowie was Standout [...]

Who asks: Why Do We Make Gun Violence So Easy? and “Maybe crazy people will do crazy things. But why, I ask my country, my president, my representatives in Congress, why do we make it so damned easy?” Hey! what did I hear you say? You know, it doesn’t have to be that way… You’ve [...]

I strongly suggest the post Important Data Trends the NRA Doesn’t Want You To Know Where’s the NRA? [from Commongunsense} So where is the NRA in our national discussion about the Tucson shootings? Nowhere as far as I can see. Have they been on Fox News? Have they been on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC? No. [...]

Or is everyone ignoring the elephant in the room? In my  Freedom is not being held at gunpoint post I pointed out that the US has the highest number of assassinations and attempted assassinations and it also leads in the amount of mass shootings. The US also has the highest amount of civilian gun ownership per [...]

On 29 January 1979, the song I don’t Like Mondays was written about a school shooting at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California where the shooter’s explanation for her actions was “I don’t like Mondays; this livens up the day.” Unlike other Britain and former British Colonies, nothing is done about mass shootings and [...]

Yet another crazy goes berzerk with a legally purchased firearm: will anything be done? FUCK NO!

I have to admit that people on the “pro-gun” side tend to be fairly clueless and miss the obvious. Yes, criminals not only DON’T register their firearms–THEY CAN’T. That’s the whole idea–the criminal is arrested and is charged with possession of an unregistered firearm. They aren’t able to register their gun and THEY GO TO [...]

It seems that Colin is going to be on the Oprah Show this Monday, which is something I would love to see.  Unfortunately, I can’t set the VCR or DVR since it’s out of my reception area. I would love to see somebody who says: “I will always believe I was in the right place [...]

I’ve been wanting to post Captain Sensible’s “Yanks with Guns” for some time.  This video is rubbish, but it gets the point across. Yanks with guns Say shooting people is such fun It Makes me smile To do the business

Maybe it’s because the “pro-gun” crowd really does sound like this Onion News clip.

“The rule of the gun is the greatest obstacle to everlasting peace and security in our country.” Mr. Hamid Karzai, the Head of the interim government of Afghanistan.
