Today in history

Comments I’ve posted

1. Re: Gun Control Mentality –

   @Hunt4Truth – There are more legal guns than people.

   So what? Is this supposed to make me feel ashamed?

   Considering that America’s civilian gun owners comprise about 60% of those around the world, I have a simple proposal to solve the issue, both here and around the world:

   1. America repeals all of its gun laws.

   2. America extends immigration visas for those gun owners in other countries to bring their weapons here.

   3. For those countries that disallow civilian firearms ownership, instead of destroying what they confiscate, they can sell them to us.

   4. Americans who disapprove of civilian firearms ownership will be free to pack their stuff and leave the country, with no exit taxes or other restrictions.

   This way, everybody wins!

2. Posted to Xanga –

   No fun in pretending to be anything else, either. At least that’s been my experience.

3. Re: Sundown at Coffin Rock –

   @BlueisCoool – Glad to be of service!

4. The Armed Defense of Liberty by Dr. Alan Keyes –

   @saturnnights – The problem is that when you do try to abandon it, it responds not by just letting you go, but by doing its damnedest to keep you under its collective thumb. If you attempt to emigrate, they levy exit taxes so you don’t take “too much” of your cash with you, that sort of thing. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to stop you from taking your weapons with you using ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) as their “nexus.”

5. Re: Would You Invest in Pot? –

   @godfatherofgreenbay – Right on for both counts, brother!

   @ThereWillBeDragons – The knuckle dragger in question doesn’t seem to respect anyone else’s rights, no matter the issue, then still has the “balls” to hold “himself” above the rest of us. Go figure.

   For what it’s worth, New Mexico has had a medical marijuana program since 1978, but it wasn’t actually permitted to function until a few years ago. When the 112 idiots in Santa Fe did get around to it, they first wanted the State to run all aspects of it, but backed off a bit. Our current governor (a Republican who is now playing games with Obamacare and gun rights) said she would shut it down (she’s a former district attorney), but she’s settled for footdragging when it comes to getting licenses issued, that sort of thing. And she’s up for re-election next year, so this should be interesting.

   @mtngirlsouth – I would expect the next Republican president to play games on the issue, just as George Bush did from 2001 to 2009.

6. Re: Dumbass Of The Week Award –

   @Erika_Steele – For some reason, I feel oddly compelled to check my laptop screen for cracks . . . .

   @DougX831 – Your comment appears to have been deleted, but her (?) attempt at a response remains:

   @DougX831 – i dont post shit like that sorry go and find another blog mine are clean

   Let me get this straight – this person has sucked in O₂ for 32 years in this condition, and is legally considered to be on par with the rest of us? I can’t think this shit up. There’s no way I can get that drunk. I would die from alcohol poisoning first.

7. Re: Holy awkward texts, Batman –

   I’ve never texted or called anyone while drunk, but a few years ago, I sent an email that came back to haunt me a bit after a few shots of Makers Mark. I learned my lesson and haven’t repeated the mistake.

8. Posted to Facebook –

   “This wasnt private property its a business.”

   And after this, you ask, “Whats this leftist BS?”

   I swear, I cannot think this stuff up.
