Life in 3D

The Pot is Calling the Kettle Black???

I understand that the word for this would be chutzpah

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration accused Iran on Thursday of entering into a “secret deal” with an Al Qaeda offshoot that provides money and recruits for attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Treasury Department designated six members of the unit as terrorists subject to U.S. sanctions.

The U.S. intelligence community has in the past disagreed about the extent of direct links between the Iranian government and Al Qaeda. Thursday’s allegations went further than what most analysts had previously said was a murky relationship with limited cooperation.

After allowing the ATF to sell guns to the Cartels, many of which have landed in the hands of MS13, one of the most violent gangs in the United States as well as arming the Sinaloa cartel, not to mention the fact that the State Department has also been helping arm the Zeta cartel the Obama administration is pissing and moaning that Iran is doing something bad.

So how is Iran arming terrorists different and/or worse than our own government arming narco-terrorist??  Oh, because one wants to kill us and the other wants to kill us too??

Maybe they should clean up their own act in Washington before doing too much chest thumping over what other other countries are doing.

Was perusing the net and found this great reference image for my thesis

Still can’t believe that they would tear this down.  People are stupid

WTF: 2A Edition

So after peaking over at Another Gun Blog I saw he had a post about someone I have never heard of who is running for Congress in California and has, of course, adopted all of their nut-job ideas including repealing the 2nd Amendment.

Now, Mike does a very good job at laying out my feelings on this

Repealing the 2nd Amendment doesn’t make it go away anymore than repealing the rest of the Bill of Rights would allow the government to kick in my door and rob, beat, imprison and torture me with impunity. The 2nd Amendment is inherent and inalienable just like the rest of the Bill of Rights. Words on ink & parchment don’t “grant” me the right to keep & bear arms, they merely codify a pre-existing right. My rights, all of them, exist independent of the Constitution.

All of which is very true, but I want to look at it from another angle.  The article has a nice little rundown on the nut-job in question and make certain to point out that he was a member of the NRA  in the very first paragraph – as if this somehow validates his position

Mike Barkley is a former member of the National Rifle Association.

He has carried a 45 Smith & Wesson as protection against wild boars and mountain lions on his family’s Northern California ranch.

And he knows what crime is like having owned and managed an apartment complex where he lived for nearly two decades in East Oakland.

And then it goes on to lay out his idea because the moron says that “Gun control Laws aren’t working

Barkley, though, has no qualms with individuals exercising the privilege to possess weapons to protect themsleves. To address that he’s proposing a constitutional amendment that would impose an annual tax on every firearm in a household. Taxes would start at $10 for the first firearm, $20 for the second firearm, $30 for the third firearm, $100 each for the fourth through ninth firearms and $1,000 each for any firearm in excess of nine.

And under his proposed amendment should a firearm be lost or stolen it would result in a $1,000 penalty with the penalty rescinded or refunded if the firearm is recovered. But there’s a big caveat to that: If the firearm is used in the commission of a felony then an additional $1,000 penalty will be imposed.

So, since gun control isn’t working he wants to impose… more gun control.

Standard liberal answer.  Instead of realizing that gun control is the problem because it disarms the law abiding citizen, he wants to double and triple down on the stupid.  And somehow, I will bet, he’s going to get elected.

I can’t wait for the earthquake that makes California and island so we can finally get rid of them.

Oh, and owning a firearm isn’t a ‘privilege’, it’s a God given, fundamental RIGHT of this country and what make us THE greatest place in the world to live.

Morons.

Asshole

Breda, who I consider a good acquaintance if not yet a good friend, has posted about an incident that she had happen and I am 100% in agreement with her.

A photo her husband took and then she posted to her blog was pirated by Gunmart – yes PIRATED, stolen, illegally used, used in violation of copyright laws – and then linked with the word porn, pisses me off to no end.   And after repeatedly being asked to remove the offending post or rename it responds with this:

Gunmart said…

I knew girls like you in High School, but I thought they all grew up.

I am still waiting for you to politely ask me to take it down. No, you havent asked. You have yelled and screamed demands, but I do not respond to that. If you had asked politely instead of jumping off the deep end and started all this silly drama, I would have removed it immediately… and I’m still waiting.

My blog is not run by mob rule, and I will not get dragged into this silly high school nonsense. I’m not gonna play your little Twitter sniping games nor will I chase posts all over the internet.

When you are ready to lose the drama like a mature adult politely address your concerns, I am willing and waiting.

Seriously, you steal someones property and then demand that they kiss your ass before you remove it?  How bout this FUCK YOU!

I knew guys like you in high school too.  Little self absorbed jackasses that would call a girl a whore, slut or bitch when she wouldn’t go out with you.

As Mike W said, you started this bullshit and then, when you stepped on your dick repeatedly, tried to turn it around so that somehow it was everyone else that was in the wrong and you are the victim.  Your name wouldn’t really be Anthony Weiner would it??

I really, REALLY hope that Breda lets the legal eagles peck your eyes out for copyright infringement and slander libel.  I also hope that one day you grow the hell up and stop being an attention whore, but I doubt it.  I do hope if I ever get out to a gunblogger meet up that you won’t be there because I would hate having to spend half my time at it telling you to go pound sand up your ass.

You have pissed on everyone in the gun blogging community with you douchebag attitude and I for one hope you get all the traffic you deserve from this, which is zero.

Asshole

****UPDATE****

Not only is he an asshole, he is an unoriginal asshole too.  Here is his comment policy

He can’t even come up with an original quote on his own, he had to steal it from Say Uncle

So, stole pictures from Breda, words from Say Uncle, and (considering that he blocked all comments) his courage from the Cowardly Lion.

Yep, Grade-A, number 1 ASSHOLE
