U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Passes Semi-Auto and Private Sales Bans

Posted on March 15, 2013

*** begin quote ***

On March 12 and 14, the Senate Judiciary committee held two working sessions to deal with gun-related bills.

The result of those hearings was the passage of Sen. Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) S. 374, the “Fix Gun Checks Act of 2013”–which would criminalize virtually all private firearm sales, even temporary transfers–and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) S. 150, the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.”

Both of these bills pose a direct threat to our Second Amendment rights and both were passed on party-line votes, with committee Democrats supporting the bills and all Republicans voting no.

*** end quote ***

Respectfully, let’s apply these restrictions to the “First Amendment”?

You can blog, xerox, or anything else.

DO you think this is what the Dead Old White Guys had in mind?

Armed robbers snatch $50m in uncut diamonds from Brussels airport

Armed robbers snatch $50m in uncut diamonds from Brussels airport

Reads like a Hollywood movie. And, reeks of an inside job. No dye packs? Seems like a lame security setup. And, airports that can be entered like a shool playground. Have the suicide bombers taught us nothing. Anyone ever heard of a culvert? 

Argh!

RANT: Where are the bananas?

Monday, February 11, 2013

I must be getting old and stupid?

I read the artcle that said make bananas last longer by separating the siblings. And, wrapping the tops in saran wrap.

So I bought a bunch green at WalMart.

Gottem home, separated them, knotted each individually into its own walmart bag, and stored them in different places. IN the crock pot, in the microwave, in the dish cabinet, in the food cabinet.

Now I’m concerned I haven’t found them all. I think there are two unacounted for?

Argh!

When my executrix cleans out the place, I’m sure she’ll find them.

LAFF!

MONEY: Banking cartel is a bandit that doesn’t move; how stupid are we?

Banking and the State

by Thorsten Polleit

 

At other end of the spectrum is the stationary bandit. Like the roving bandit, he also holds the monopoly of coercion over his victims.

However, the stationary bandit has an encompassing interest in society’s welfare. He wishes to keep his victims producing: the more his victims produce, the more there is to take for the stationary bandit.

Sharing in society’s losses, the stationary bandit will make sure that his thievery is limited. The higher the losses in production from thievery are, the lower will be the level of aggression at which the stationary bandit’s take is maximized. The stationary bandit’s time preference will therefore be lower than the time preference of the roving bandit.

*****

A great discription of the Federal Reserve System, (which isn’t Federal; reserves nothing; and only a ‘system’ as like OPEC for money!), “stationary bandit”!

Argh!

I would really laff my butt off if this is photoshopped FROM the WH!

I just doubt is veracity.

Unless someone did some funky stuff, how did the get the plumes?

And, is the Prez a lefty shooter?

RANT: The Gooferment and highways

Monday, January 21, 2013

Any suspicion that the sign diverting “thru traffic” on to the Richmond 295 bypass, was to feed “speeders” into the radar traps set up there?

YEah, it was just coincidence!

And, I’m lucky in that I smeeled a rat and set the cruise at 60. (Five under!) And watched them ruin some ppor slobs day off!

Coincidence my A double q!

ADMINISTRIVIA: PIcking up a lot of followers

Saturday, January 5, 2013

Interesting in that follows from WordPress are other bloggers. Don’t really understand it. Have a lot more followers than readers. Maybe my stuff provides a springboard for someone to write something different. Strange.
