How sad is it when your excuse is gross incompetence and negligence? Because both of those things are better than the likely truth of the matter.

[I’ve written previously on Fast and Furious and I must say that this latest development is anything but surprising. –B]
Of course it will, because that’s what a law IS: When you pass a law, you are effectively saying “This
thing is of such momentous import that, if you do it (or don’t do it,
whichever,) we will compel you with force, and will back that force with
the guns of the state. This is something that is so important that compliance is worth, push come to shove, shooting people.“

[Seriously I wish that NYC’s soda law was all just a dumb joke, but alas it isn’t. Some moron actually feels a 44 oz soda is worth threatening and possibly killing another human being over*. I wish more people would get this through their head. Government is force and they must use force to enforce the laws. That’s the thing with laws and government. When you say, “There ought to be a law!” You’re saying, “The state should shoot that individual when he refuses to cooperate.” Please, realize new laws for petty childish crap is NOT a solution to what you think is a problem.
Screw New York City, and state for that matter, there is no reason for me to visit either for business or pleasure. I say build a wall around the damn city and turn it into a penal colony. Then the city government might be a little less tyrannical. -B
*While they haven’t put a gun in someone’s face yet, it is only a matter of time till it happens. If you’re willing to put a gun in someone’s face, the intent is to convey their impending mortality, whether the officer really wants to shoot or not.]
See, even those most of the really fun toys are outlawed for civilians in California, police officers are exempt from the ban on fun. I applaud him for wanting to spread the fun, except for two things. One it was against the law, what made that person so special. Two, you’re buyer ended up being not exactly one with the most reputable of character.
Now some of the comments are your standard anti-gun rhetoric.
Pistols that shoot high-velocity ammunition used by the U.S. military, you mean like an AR-Pistol? Give me a break there sport, this is an effort to wound up some PSH for the anti-rights folks. Personally I think the officers defense attorney is right in the following statement:
Emphasis mine. Though it appears that these individuals acted as straw buyers, which is already illegal and well known to be bad. Never the less, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and mens rea has gone the way of the Dodo. Not to mention much of this confusion and loophole issues were created by anointing law enforcement. He was exempted from laws others weren’t. Yeah, this one a sponsored criminal. Mainly because the onerous gun laws helped create the environment for it to happen.

As usual, nothing happened! The wife and I went out to lunch after the USPSA match specifically because it was “open carry weekend”. TMW did it last year as well, for us though it’s really just more of the same. I normally either open carry or concealed carry, the difference is whether or not I’m wearing a coat. What was different for today was that laziness won out and I just continued wearing my whole rig after the match.
I snugged down the the holster to increase the retention but didn’t bother changing for a different holster and left the stack of 4 magazines on my left hip. I know you can barely see the gun, black shirt plus black gun equals find Waldo.
I will say, yes that shirt was picked on purpose… You shoot the paper bastards twice, other wise they call out Charlie Mike, and I don’t know why they call his name so much when I shoot.
The wife was open carrying as well:
I don’t know if Erin has her shirt or not. If she doesn’t, she should go get one. No one said anything, I think a couple people noticed and I just smiled as I walked by. I think for the most part the 4 spare magazines drew more attention that the gun itself.
Via FarmDad in the GBC chat room:
But according to those elites in the Brady Campaign and CSGV that has to be impossible. For you see according to them interest in the shooting sports is at an all time low. As we all know, this is them obviously in the first stage of grief.
Given we know they suffer from “Peterson Syndrome”*, I am wondering if their condition will relegate them permanently to the first stage of grief. Given they disassociate from reality anyway, they can continue to live in denial without ever changing.
Think about it, what would actually cause Joan** to admit that she is on the loosing side of this proposition? There is nothing that I can currently fathom that would induce her or her compatriots with a dose of reality to the point where they move on to stage two. Their view of reality is so skewed and tainted they can rationalize away reality. What is there left to move them forward?
All the while, we’re winning with instances like the above. What’s the goal of the gun range I hear you ask?
See, we on this side say educate and train. The other side says ignore them and be an ostrich. Kids on our side of the fence though know how to behave when they find a firearm. On their side of the fence, little bobby shoots baby Randy and they scream for more gun control. Never mind the following:
All those prohibitions do is affect the law abiding. The only thing a prohibition on gun control accomplishes is the prevention of the law abiding citizen being armed to the best of their ability for their own defense.
*Peterson Syndrome seems tied to Cognitive Distortion. I also found an article about reality distortion which seems to match as well.
Hallucinations and delusions, the phenomena that lie at the heart of psychosis, are perhaps the most enigmatic of all mental symptoms. Both entail a mismatch between a compelling representation of reality produced by the individual’s own mind and the representation supported by objective evidence.

<+FarmDad> japate’s asshole should swallow her head when she sees that lol
You would think that given all the previous incidents of child molestation by the TSA would mean they would filter this guy out.
Evidently not.
That’s right folks. He was hired by the TSA and given free reign to molest your little daughters without legal recourse. Is anyone though not surprised by this? This to me is expected.
State Sponsored Criminal #337: Thomas Harkins
Because when the church kicks you out for molesting little girls, go talk to your Uncle Sam. After he puts his hands in your pocket you can put your hands in that little girls pocket!
This one is just all sorts of fail. The article leads off with this.
A security supervisor at Newark Liberty International Airport accused of stealing the identity of a murdered Queens man two decades ago began using the victim’s identification three weeks before he was killed, officials said today.
To which I said, well he hadn’t done anything illegal until after hiring maybe? Nah I didn’t really think that, though the following did actually surprise me.
The supervisor, Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole, 55, of Elizabeth, a Nigerian immigrant living in the United States illegally, is accused of using the birth certificate and Social Security number for Jerry Thompson, who was shot and killed in Queens on July 20, 1992.
Emphasis mine. That’s right folks, our fearless leaders in the department of homeland security who claim to be doing everything in their power to protect us from those dangerous terrorists couldn’t even find someone using the identity of a dead man. They couldn’t find someone who was violating the law and walked up to them and asked for a job. It almost makes you think that they don’t bother vetting these miscreants before letting them rape and pillage the populace.
Oh wait, they don’t. That’s why you have pedophiles working for them. That’s why you have thieves working for them. It is where criminals go to have the state protect them.

Because proper background checks and rectal exams are for people who want to fly, not for the people doing the checking!
This made me all sorts of angry:
Savannah then showed agents a doctor’s
note explaining that the sensitive insulin pump should not go through
the body scanner. She says she was told to go through it anyway. “When
someone in a position of authority tells you it is – you think that its
right. So, I said, Are you sure I can go through with the pump? It’s not
going to hurt the pump? And she said no, no you’re fine.”
I won’t fault the girl here. She has probably been told over and over to trust the government and do what you’re told. She has been drilled to the point where she ignored what her doctor said and did what a high school drop out that was too stupid to get a job anyplace else said.
Unsurprisingly it destroyed her insulin pump. Walking into one of those things with electronic equipment is down right dangerous. Ionizing radiation can cause single event upsets in the control systems of the medical equipment. Non-ionizing radiation can have the effect of an EMP causing excessive voltages in circuits. If the device is improperly shielded it will destroy components. Memory devices can also suffer a single event upset.
I don’t know which of these incidents occurred, my suspicion is the second. I will say this girl is very lucky she is not dead or hospitalized as a SEU could have resulted in an excess or incorrect dosage being administered. Usually devices can survive one safely, however multiple failures were probably induced simultaneously
This is an expensive lesson and one that everyone needs to heed. Those who work for the TSA are the lowest common denominator of our society. That’s why it’s full of child molesters, sexual deviants, and thieves. One should not do what they say blindly or without forethought. Remember these people do not care about you or what happens to you. If they could they’d just treat you like cattle more than they already do.
As I’ve said before, make their lives hell. Sure some will be too stupid to understand but eventually you’ll wear them down. On that same note, as you see those responsible for bringing this plague upon us, make their lives hell as well. They are elected representatives and obviously they failed at their job.
Burning effigies should work nicely.
