Would you buy a rifle from this guy?

More executives sold on Obama

By Ken Dilanian, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Dan Cooper, a proud member of the National Rifle Association, has backed Republicans for most of his life. He’s the chief executive of Cooper Arms, a small Montana company that makes hunting rifles.

Cooper said he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, having voted in past elections for every Republican presidential nominee back to Richard Nixon. In October 1992, he presented a specially made rifle to the first President. Bush during a Billings campaign event.

This year, Cooper has given $3,300 to the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. That’s on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama’s speech at that year’s Democratic National Convention.

Cooper is a player in one of the little-told dramas of the 2008 presidential campaign: how Obama has been able to out-raise Republican John McCain among swaths of the business community, outperforming previous Democratic presidential nominees in drawing business support.

I wonder if he got a thrill up his leg like Chris Matthews?

UPDATE: This disclaimer was seen earlier on their website, which is now back to normal. Make of it what you will.

UPDATE II: Apparently the board of directors has asked Mr. Cooper to resign.

Say it ain’t so Joe!

Joe Biden was asked some tough questions recently by a TV station in Florida and didn’t like it. Apparently he isn’t used to the media not fawning all over him like a horny teenager. The Obama campaign has since “cut off interviews” with the station from now until the election is over with. Big loss.

Cop Shoots Dog

Yeah, so what’s new, right? How about video of the cop shooting the dog? From what I can see in the video the cop was right beside his car door and could have easily gotten inside if he was indeed in fear of his life.

Caution, this video shows the shooting death of a family dog.

Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Scratches Letter Into Her Face

Apparently she made the whole thing up. Pity. I have withdrawn this post based on this new evidence. Guys, there’s no need to lie. It just makes you, and everyone close to you look like idiots. This doesn’t change the fact that there are other criminal acts being perpetrated by the other side however.

UPDATE: From Walls of the City comes word of another attack by Obama supporters.

Rice: US, Mexico to discuss drugs, world issues

So, what are they trying to restrict again? Assault rifles and machine guns are the same thing, and already heavily restricted. They’re not even talking about the made up “Assault Weapon” term either. So, what are they really talking about restricting here? Could they be talking about restricting the common firearms which are already in common use here in the USA? Perhaps they use different terminology than we do to define what a machine gun is.

One thing is for sure, gun laws in Mexico are onerous when compared to gun laws in the USA, with .22 being the highest caliber weapon most Mexican citizens (with certain exceptions for rural residents) are allowed to own. In addition, until 1998, if you were caught entering Mexico with as little as one round of .22lr in your vehicle, even on accident, you could be sentenced to prison for 5 to 30 years.

“The exemption does not apply for military weapons or calibers - which by Mexican law means any handgun above .380 in caliber, as well as a wide variety of rifles.”

Rice: US, Mexico to discuss drugs, world issues

By NESTOR IKEDA
Associated Press
October 23, 2008

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she hopes to discuss not just drug trafficking, but a host of world issues with Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinosa in meetings at this Pacific coast resort.

Rice, who arrived in Puerto Vallarta late Wednesday for a one-day visit to Mexico, suggested that the seat Mexico won last week on the U.N. Security Council makes it likely that more than just bilateral concerns will be discussed.

But U.S. officials acknowledged that talks are also expected to touch on the violent drug cartel turf battles that have hit Mexico in recent years, and the role played in that violence by weapons smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

The United States is expected to begin delivering soon the first installments of the $400 million in anti-drug aid for Mexico approved by Congress earlier this year as part of the Merida Initiative.

Rice said the Bush administration was still working with Congress on “letters of agreement” to implement the Merida Initiative provisions “very quickly.”

“This is a national security priority for Mexico and national security priority for the United States,” she said. “I think it is urgent because of the security situation.”

Hundreds have died in gangland-style killings in Mexican border cities in recent months, and U.S. officials acknowledge that some cartels have started crossing the border to kill and kidnap in U.S. territory.

Rice said she is concerned about the border violence and drug trafficking in Central America.

Mexico has criticized the slow pace of disbursement of the U.S. aid, and Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon acknowledged “it is a very bureaucratic process.”

Mexico has pressed — and is expected to continue to press — the United States to do more to stop the flow of weapons into Mexico, including assault rifles and machine guns used in thousands of cartel-related killings each year.

“There are very specific issues in the bilateral agenda,” Rice said. But since Mexico is a member of the Security Council, “there are also broad issues we can talk about with a global interest.”

“Much of this meeting is forged on the great friendship they developed,” Shannon said, adding that the dialogue was to begin Wednesday night at a dinner held in Puerto Vallarta’s balmy Pacific breezes.

Rice and Espinosa met behind closed doors Wednesday and were to give a joint statement on Thursday.

On the plane prior to arriving in Mexico, Rice said the talks also would focus on “working together in the development agenda, trade agenda, law enforcement and security.”

“It is a very broad relationship,” she said.
