The spokesmen for uncontrolled gun sales remind me of Carousel’s character, Billy Bigelow;
“Well, we’d argue, she’d say this, I’d say that, and she’d be right. So I hit her”.
Arguments are for the eggheads, and the Billy’s, they lose, so they need a gun to come out on top. They’re wrong. So they shoot people.

Thanks Attaturk.

“….I’m gonna start killing people.”

Threats of terrorism are normally taken very seriously in this country. Unless of course republicans are involved. Because, you know, Second Amendment solutions and all.

Mr. Yeager needs mental help, as do 99% of the mouthbreathers here in the deep South. This is completely out of hand. Total insanity down here. Thanks for waking me up right, Attaturk. You’re the best. Wish me luck , i’ll try to talk some sense to folks down here, but it’s extremely difficult.

“Law abiding” gun owners. I don’t think “abide” means what they think it means.

Does poor Somalia even have room for all of them?

Have I mentioned that the American Nazi Party is adamantly pro-gun? Just to clarify who’s acting like a Nazi on this issue.

America’s white separatists, white supremacists, Klansmen, anti-Semites, and the boys at StormFront are also wildly in favor of guns.

Good morning all,

Gun nuts are , well, nuts.

How many gun nuts did the military serve as a gateway to a weapons love affair ?

So why isn’t this clown in jail, charged with making terrorist threats? Does he have too much money? Is it because he knows a congress critter? Or could it be because he’s white?

What’s threatened at the Dairy Queen stays at the Dairy Queen.

In basic training, 1970, my drill sergeant had to use a pencil to put extra holes in my targets so that I would pass! I fired M-16s, grenade launchers, and HAWK missiles, but never thought of owning a gun. I did shoot skeet with my brother several times, which was fun. Given my marksmenship skills though, I don’t think the local militia would have me.

Oh, I forgot about the grenades. I managed to sneak away for that training because I just knew I would f**k it up and blow myself to bits!

I am dangerous with a gun as well, have a deformed right hand, and should not ever have one. Though I know I can go to a local gun show or pawn shop and supply myself with all the artillery I want.

I was a pretty good marksman but since I was an airframe mechanic, it didn’t come up much. I don’t own a gun simply because I see no need for one.

Want the locals going gun crazy?
‘CELINA, TX — A North Texas father has been charged with making a terroristic threat after he conducted an impromptu safety drill at his child’s school in which he pretended to be a gunman.’

Good morning, pups. Today we’ve got Brooks, Cohen and Krugman. Bobo is playing armchair psychologist again. In “Beware Stubby Glasses” he says a weighty new book is an acknowledgement of the need for public policy to pay more attention to behavioral research. Just waiting on the politicians. Mr. Cohen has a question in “One Life in One Place:” What happens to an urban humanity estranged from solitude and silence? In “Coins Against Crazies” Prof. Krugman looks at that $1 trillion coin and says hey, desperate times call for creative answers.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got waffles with warm maple syrup this morning. Well, Precious didn’t “go under the knife” yesterday since the vet wanted to do some cultures first. Her cytology looked okay, so we decided on one more round of antibiotics while we wait for the cultures, so at least the vet will know what antibiotic to put her on during and after exploring that foot. And now Boots has decided that it’s past time for breakfast and is attempting to help me type. Have a great day.

Thanks, Marion, glad Precious is getting treated carefully, onwards and upwards.
Bobo is hiding out from the NRA, seems like, slipping in a hint that maybe crazies are in need of special treatment? How revolutionary and bold.

This Yeager guy crapped his pants during a firefight when he was with Edinburgh Risk and Security Management as a contractor in Iraq.

Apparently their convoy got tied up in traffic when they were ambushed. Our hero Yeager, the driver of one vehicle, gunned the engine to escape when the firefight started (SOP is to return fire). Sadly, he had left the emergency brake on and the transmission out of gear, and the humvee would no go. So, he abandoned the vehicle and the casualties onboard.

Ladies and gentlemen, your NRA. Award the man his one Barney Bullet.

Gotta get to work. Laters.

The fellow should be arrested for making terrorist threats. Period. Open and shut case.

I bet AG Schultz sees nothing.

Boxturtle (If I had a warehouse full of weapons and I said something like that, I’d get a visit)

Good Morning, Ruth
Now you’ve gone and done it. I want a Dairy Queen butterscotch sundae.
Saying hey to you now, ’cause I can’t make it to today’s Over Easy.
Yes, I’d like whipped cream, a cherry, but maybe I’ll pass on the [gun] nuts.

As long as you’re going, I’d like a Whopper Blizzard.

Oddly, NONE of the DQ’s around here do whopper blizzards anymore. I know it was a popular flavor, I wonder why.

Boxturtle (The Universe hates me)

I don’t even know if there’s a Dairy Queen near where I live, but there is a Foster’s close by. And, I’m serious about going and buying a sundae today.
So, what’s a blizzard? I’ll see if they have something similar.

Maybe they’re going to name it the Shootdown next. the DQ is where the Good Ol’ Boys have their hate fests, traditionally.

I just had my eggs and sausage with an triple portion of onion, slice of pepper, chopped and you are all talking dessert already. Another cuppa is just fine for me.

Not looking for anything too crazy this early in the morning.

Hash browns, it’s all about the crazee.

Morning Ruth, demi, BT, everyone.

Almost 40 degrees and rain overnight in northern WI is crazee, me thinks.

Ah, c’mon. You ain’t really such a fuddy duddy are ya?
And, it’s never too early to discuss desserts, in my opinion.
You do know they make garlic ice cream, right?

You know what the wise people say — Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.

Amen, sister. Yummmmmm. Caramel.

Hey! It’s 40 degrees here too. Who’d a thunk we’d have the same temps?

The blizzard is soft ice cream, mixed with chopped up whoppers (or whatever) and served in a cup.

It is extremely unhealthy, if done properly.

Boxturtle (The Dairy KING (Local) does the same thing but calls them tornadoes)

It’s supposed to break 60 here today.

Boxturtle (Global warming is a myth and Al Gore is fat)

Nice analogy. I always hated Carousel, and refused to sing it.

Ian Masters interviewed a guest on Dec. 19, 2012 (either Zimmerman or Lind) who said gun rights have their roots in white supremacy.

The Federal government insured white supremacy for the first 100 years of the US but got out of that business after the Civil War.

Then the state governments insured white supremacy for the next 100 years and in the 1960′s, with civil rights legislation, were forced out of that business.

This left some whites feeling abandoned by their governments (and is the genesis of anti-government furor today) so these individuals need to rely upon themselves – and their guns.
