Can I borrow your stapler?

In our defense ..
a shotgun approach

A working group within the BATFE has recommended that any shotgun (semi-automatic, pump-action or any other) that has any one of 10 specific features should be banned from importation, on the grounds that such shotguns are not “generally recognized as particularly suitable for a readily adaptable to sporting purposes.”

The features in question are a folding, telescoping, or collapsible stock; a magazine of over five rounds or a drum magazine; a flash suppressor or a muzzle brake that also suppresses flash ...

What was that movie called?  Oh, right, "The Never Ending Story."  At the crux of the Heller decision [that struck down D.C.'s gun control law] is  our right as an individual to keep and bear arms in the defense of life,  liberty and property.  And that not only includes defense of our liberty against our own government, but is central to it.   If we are then to protect ourselves, it stands to reason that we must have available weaponry equal to that which despots can bring to bear against us.  Oui?  That includes automatic grenade shotguns.  But, God helps them what help themselves, so ... step one.

Comments to the BATFE may be submitted by e-mail to shotgunstudy@atf.gov, or by fax to (202) 648-9601, and must be received by May 1, 2011.  Faxed comments may not exceed 5 pages.  All comments must include name and mailing address.

Depends where you buy the Cheeseburger. You did when James Huberty walked into a McDonald's 25 years ago.

Ron Paul, in an instance of Broken Clockism, did try to get the words "sporting purposes" removed from the NFA and GCA regs.

The video:
Y'know, a Prog would call the lady mean-spirited and greedy for not personally giving the blind man a handout, even though she was instrumental in increasing his income.

Notice that they deleted the scenes where other blind people hard-heartedly walked past the beggar without contributing.
(What? Well, yeah, perhaps it was due to them not noticing the sign.)

And why don't they give handicapped people tickets for parking in non-handicapped spaces? Huh? Am I right? Beuller? Anybody?
