Are you F’ing Kidding Me?

The Feds seize 30 machine guns… These machine guns. Tell me if you think this passes the “sniff” test. I honestly still think this is an early April Fool’s joke.

This is the agency tasked with determining the legality of my guns? Are you serious?

*sigh*

Even if, and that’s a big IF, these “guns” could be converted to fire live ammunition, I bet you they would explode with the first round. I wouldn’t have these anywhere close to me when it went off, that’s to be sure.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday that its officers have seized a shipment of what it describes as 30 machine guns (M-4 automatic rifles) shipped from Taiwan.

The guns were fashioned to shoot plastic balls but could have easily become real weapons, the feds said.

The shipment arrived on Oct. 20 at Tacoma and has been investigated since. The guns were seized Feb. 8.

The shipment was described as toys and parts and valued at $10,000.

Officers examined it and found the rifles. They were the same size, weight and look of M-4 rifles. There were no serial numbers that a real gun would have but neither were there orange-blaze tips, which are required for all imported toy guns.

Investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive showed that the guns had been tooled to shoot plastic balls. However, parts could be switched out quickly to allow them to fire live ammunition.

ATF lab results indicated the rifle to be a WE-Tech, Model AWSS M4CQBR, Airsoft M-4 copy.

The guns will be destroyed.

What a Sick, Sick “man”…

Yess, I put “man” in lower-case and quotes above on purpose. How else would I describe a human of the male gender who I don’t consider worthy of being called a “Man”?

This sick, twisted individual would rather bury his child than defend that child with a gun.

Read that sentence again and let it sink in. What horrible, sick, twisted and morally bankrupt individual would say or do such a thing? Even prey animals in the wild defend their offspring with every means at their disposal.

Kurt Hoffman elaborates:

I submit that there can be no mutual understanding between healthy, rational human beings, and the kind of sick, twisted creature who would rather bury his child than defend him with every means available.  Make no mistake; anyone willing to sacrifice his own child to his belief that self-defense is a “gun crime” will be more than willing to sacrifce you and your family to that same evil ideology.

To the Doug Van Gorders of the world, no compromise on gun rights will go far enough.  Everything we give up will be a “good first step” (to the forcible citizen disarmament lobby, every gun law is a “good first step”), and the staging area for the next infringement on that which shall not be infringed.

The good news, if any is to be found, is that if Darwin is right, Van Gorder’s “progressive” attitude is doomed to the extinction it so richly deserves, purging the gene pool of the mental affliction that causes it.

UPDATE: Apparently the source of the letter Kurt Hoffman talks about is less than truthful. Please disregard this post… *sigh*

Judge: Seattle gun ban is illegal

Hurray for the rule of law and common sense!

Greg Nickels can kiss my ass!

The law has sided with the gun rights advocates who took the city of Seattle and former Mayor Greg Nickels to court over the city’s gun ban.

King County Superior Court Judge Catherine Shaffer on Friday ruled in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Washington Arms Collectors, National Rifle Association and five individual plaintiffs, declaring the city of Seattle’s gun ban at public places is in direct violation of Washington state’s firearm pre-emption law.

In issuing the ruling, Shaffer wrote, “Seattle’s Department of Parks and Recreation’s Rule/Policy Number P 060-8.14 (“Firearms Rule”) violates Washington law and on that basis, is null and void.”

The city has been ordered to remove all signage banning weapons from public areas within 30 days.

First “No Snow” was evidence of global warming, now “Record Snowfall” is evidence of global warming. Which is it folks? You can’t have it both ways.

Open Carryers Should Be ‘Shot’?

Apparently that’s how one California policeman thinks anyway:

EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. — A controversy was brewing in East Palo Alto Tuesday night after a police detective made apparently joking comments through his Facebook account saying “open carry” advocates who visibly carry guns in public should be shot.Now East Palo Alto has become a reluctant testing ground for a battle of constitutional amendments: one police officer’s ‘freedom of speech’ versus a group’s ‘right to bear arms.’

Perhaps he should be less worried about his 1st amendment rights and stop thinking it’s okay to violate peoples 2nd amendment rights.
