Yoo hoo - ATF ...

... this is how you deal with barricaded suspects:

Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt, who is the fourth lawman in the post since 2000, says, like his predecessors, that he's not willing to risk a gunbattle just to arrest Gray.

"John Joe Gray is not worth it. Ten of him is not worth going up there and getting one of my young deputies killed," he said.

That's right ... ignore him.

There's no good reason that the FBI and ATF had to burn the Branch Davidian compound down; they were contained and the authorities had control of the situation. They could have just waited.

But that wouldn't get them any glory. Instead, they had to murder 85 innocents - just to prove a point.

Stupid party strikes again

This time, it's Rep Peter King (R-S NY):

Rep. Peter King, a Republican from New York, is planning to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official, according to a person familiar with the congressman's intentions.

So then, I should be able to prosecute a government official who brings his dumb ass within 1000 feet of me ... right? Since I have been put in non-compliance through no action on my part, right?

Right?!

This just begs, BEGS for new 1000 foot matches at Camp Perry.

Yeah, I'll tone it down when they stop being so fucking stupid!

More reason to get out of UK

Found at WND is this article about an interesting requirement:

The boss of a British recruitment firm said she was told she could not place an advertisement for ''reliable workers'' at the local Jobcenter because it discriminated against unreliable people.

Now I can only laugh at these stories. It seems that the British have no one to blame but themselves.

Yeah, police!

Georgia law enforcement is getting the rough criminals off the street:

The hearing on the charges against a West Point, Ga., city councilwoman who authorities allege illegally served alcoholic beverages at a bridal shop she owns in Columbus was postponed Tuesday for a second time.

Wow .... mimosas served a a bridal shop! Ruralown is safe!

And the woman maintains that the clerk at the courthouse said she didn't need a license to serve.

I agree - serving a mimosa in a bridal shop sounds normal, even celebratory (and we know that as far as weddings go, the groom is the last piece of the puzzle!).

And as far as needing state permission to serve alcohol, that's something the state came up with.

It's my opinion that the entities involved here should drop the matter as quickly and quietly as possible.

Some people want to deny human nature

Coming from the Baltimore Sun, this should be no surprise:

That's why it's somewhat bizarre that North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr is standing behind legislation he introduced last March that would restore gun ownership rights to veterans designated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Justice as "mentally incapacitated" or "mentally incompetent."

On the 4473 form, the question is 'have you been adjudicated a mental defective', not 'someone says you're crazy'.

So the Baltimore Sun would deny the right to arms to the very people who have fought for the right? Scary, not to mention exceedingly stupid. If you're that fucked in the head to not be able to handle a firearm, you shouldn't be running around in public.

They also have these insane statements to make:

If, however, the nation wants to honor those who died at Fort Hood, they could scarcely do better than to stand behind gun purchase background checks that can help spare their families' lives

Yoo hoo, fucksticks! Maj Hasan bought both firearms recovered legally, undergoing an instant background check ..... just in case the Baltimore Sun doesn't realize, a Major in the armed forces is exactly who is demonstrably qualified under the nations' byzantine gun laws to purchase and own a firearm. If he weren't, he probably wouldn't be an officer, now would he.

As another tragedy, the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech that took the lives of 32 innocent people, also demonstrated, a ban on gun purchases by the mentally ill can't be effective if authorities are not made aware of who they are.

Mr Cho also bought his weapons legally, also undergoing an instant background check (instant background checks advocated by the Brady bunch, btw) - it's not his fault that the 'authorities' weren't sharing the necessary information in which to make an informed decision.

Fucksticks one and all ....... my head hurts.

This is beyond 'Only Ones'

I was stopping by Say Uncle and saw this little gem:

The officer heard people playing and screaming, witnesses said. A 23-year-old woman and her friend were playing with a pit bull.Witnesses said the officer got out of the car and fired several shots toward the dog.

She wound up shooting the owner in the process. I'm sure I'll see this later at The War on Guns.

Note that there are several great comments, but I notice somewhat of a trend. Most of the people who are pro-accountability suggest a return to the police academy and at the very least some marksmanship training.

But I don't think an individual who shoots an innocent citizen needs to be returned to their job ...... they should be fired, with all speed.

Because you can't cure stupid.
