The Truth About Guns

Not much needs saying here, save the fact that my iMac’s been slowly going slower since Steve Jobs kicked the bucket. Oh and this comment under Rated RR’s video: “In next weeks episode: Watch RatedRR attempt to explain to an Apple Genius what happened.” Specifically, why the 20mm shell didn’t vaporize Cupertino’s finest.

A gaggle of Baker High School students are telling the world they did nothing to make an unnamed Mobile, Alabama cop draw on them. Hmmm. The officer in question doesn’t look like a gun bully; he looks like a law enforcement officer approaching a dangerous situation. Why he’d come straight at a car full of Crips (for example) without backup, God only knows. But I hardly think he considered leaving a goat on campus a dangerous felony. Maybe he thought the kids were planting a bomb. Or kidnapping someone. Who knows? Hopefully we will, sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, lower all the windows and put your hands on the steering wheel when the cops come a-callin’ on your car. Just sayin’ . . .

“For the last damn time, ‘assault weapon’ is a purely invented term, designed by politicians to mislead the public into thinking consumers can buy machine guns at Wal-Mart. They can’t. In the political world at least, ‘assault weapon’ means nothing more than ‘semi-automatic rifle that has a few cosmetic features that we do not like.’” - Charles C. W. Cooke, ABC: But ‘Assault Weapons’ Bans Just Make Guns Look Different! [via nationalreview.com]
