There is a panic in the air

When ancient scandals are used as evidence that gun control does not work...there is definite panic in the air.

Suffice to say it...I believe this time is already different, and the do nothing radicals at the NRA, and allies in both parties...are now talking nullification? They are serious, civil war over their paranoid fantasies? Ok.

I mean, we all know my precious comes ahead of society.

If you snuck up behind him and screamed, "OBAMA!", do you think his gun might go off prematurely?

Chandler man accidentally shoots himself in groin


CHANDLER, AZ - Chandler police say a 27-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the groin outside a grocery store Tuesday night.

It happened in the parking lot of the Fry's Food Store at Elliot and Alma School roads.

According to the police report, the man had his fiancee's pink pistol tucked in the front waistband of his pants when the gun accidentally fired.

He was carrying his girlfriend's pink gun. Was he wearing her unmentionables, too?

I saw him on another blog with Daniel Craig as James Bond. The pic of Craig said men who love guns think they are him, the pic of "Fred" said but this is what they really look like. LOL
I sent it to my friends and my BF. He came to me a bit concerned as to how I got the pic of "Fred? He knows him!
OMG. He uses to live in the next town over (north Ontario). hilarious . He is now infamous.

from his fame. Sadly, he's Canadian and probably to "nice" to manipulate the media for gain.

which is what they're all certain they'll experience if they have to turn in those really big, really ugly guns.

This is a cautionary post. Such people are simply not going to be rational about the whole thing. Many can be counted upon to act out.

They don't really realize it, would never admit it if they did, but that's what all the hollering is really about.

It will put a hot round completely through two automobiles and take out the perp hiding behind the second. At close range, an intruder does not stand a chance. Granted, even one round can impose significant structural damage to your dwelling and kill a couple of your neignbor's pets.

But, when the black helicopters come round, they will rue the day!

the 2nd A. gives citizens the right to own military grade firepower. He also says the gun trafficking thing in Mexico is "smoke and mirrors".
The Branch Davidians used a Barrett in Waco, forcing the FBI to use armored Bradley fighting vehicles.
Used by IRA snipers to kill British troops in No. Ireland
There's more info about the Barrett 50 cal being used by al qaeda during the embassy bombings.
Real class act that guy.
Do I have to tell you he's another Tennessean? Yeah, James Yeager internet psycho, Marsha Blackburn world's dumberst congressperson, and Bob Corker i'm not sure about Hagel's temprament are his neighbors.
