For the last few months, the current Looter in Chief has been telling us that low taxes which let people keep and spend more of their own money is somehow “giving” money to the “rich,” and that only government can create jobs by spending trillions of dollars it doesn’t have but plans to steal from the “rich” later. So how are they spending the “stimulus” money which they claim is supposed to help “main street” instead of the eeevil, rich corporations? Well, it appears that a few billion will be going to help Microsoft build a bridge connecting two of their parking lots.

Or, in other words corporations making jobs = “trickle down” economics and “failed policy.” Raising taxes and creating a Federal Ponzi scheme where the money is filtered through the pockets of politicians, bureaucrats, and lobbyists to accomplish the exact same thing = “Change You can Believe in!”

Can someone explain to me the difference between Bernie Madoff and President Obama? I mean, aside from the fact that Madoff’s victims willingly gave him money but the taxpayers are coerced at gun point..

SayUncle blogged that nobody seems to know what kind of weapons were used in the Alabama shooting. Some are saying fully automatic rifles were involved. Others are saying semiautomatic. One source said it looked like an AK-47, but that it “could have been an M-16.” How one can possibly confuse the two is mind boggling.

But, yea, despite (or perhaps because of) the confusion, the Brady Campaign to Promote Gun Myths couldn’t resist dancing in the blood and spreading disinformation. And once again, they’re lying about the SKS being an “assault rifle.” No matter how many times they say it, it’s still a lie. And are they seriously implying that a “38 caliber handgun” is a “military-style semiautomatic assault weapon” now too?

Just read on arfcom that some guy driving through Massachusetts to Maine got pulled over and cops searched him because they saw a gun case in his truck. Pants-shitilarity ensued.

An 18-year-old city resident is in a Massachusetts jail after state police said they found an arsenal in his truck.

ZOMG an arsenal!! Everybody panic? Oh. Wait. He only had two guns, some knives, and a set of brass knuckles. But not just any guns..

A Bushmaster rifle with a night scope and pistol grip.

Eeeek! A night scope and a pistol grip?! We’re all doomed!

Then there’s this:

The trooper ordered him out of the truck and patted him down — which turned up several rounds of ammunition, including a .50 caliber rifle bullet, and a knife, police said.

A single .50 cal bullet? Was it a whole cartridge? Or just the pointy bit? And, umm, what exactly is so scary about a round with no rifle to put it in? I’m betting it was probably inert and attached to a a key ring..

But, yea, if you really want to fill up your PSH bingo card, click here.

State police said troopers found a 16-inch Bushmaster assault rifle,

16 inch “assault rifle?” Umm, okay. Is that supposed to scare us because it’s too big or too small?

a Remington 12-gauge shotgun with a pistol grip,

Oh noes! Another pistol grip! hide the women and children!

seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips and several boxes of ammunition.

Magazine ammunition clips? Did his truck have a high powered automatic manual transmission gear shifter too?

The assault rifle and the shotgun had both been modified and each gun was equipped with laser sightings, the paper reported.

Modified with laser sighting?! Well. That’s it. I’m heading to the bomb shelter and waiting for the Apocalypse! The guy might be able to blind me if I stare at his lasers too long! That’s even scarier than Lite-Brites!!11!1one!eleventy!

Huizinga was charged with marked lanes violation, possession of a large-capacity firearm, possession of a firearm, seven counts of possession of high-capacity feeding devices, possession of a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of ammunition.

Now that seems a bit redundant. What’s next, charging him with being charged with a crime? Then charging him for the crime of being charged with being charged of a crime?

Huizinga could face federal charges, including transporting guns across state lanes and not having a license to carry firearms, the paper reported.

That’s funny. Federal law protects transporting firearms across State lines if the original and destination States don’t have ridiculous laws like, say, Massachusetts. Well, they’re supposed to anyway. This should be an interesting test case.

Oh, and, err, there’s no such thing as a Federal license to carry firearms. Good luck charging him with a non-existent crime.

Looks like CBS couldn’t resist jumping on the Mexican “assault weapon” banwagon.

“Half of what we seize, 55 percent are assault rifles. And this is what gives these groups this intimidation power. Over 17,000 assault rifles, throughout the last two years. Two thousand and 200 grenades, missile and rocket launchers. Fifty caliber sniper rifles,” the attorney general explained.

I must be going to the wrong damned American gun shows or something, as there’s never any missile launchers laying around..

But, yea, even though Pelosi and Reid have said no to a new AWB, and the Senate added an amendment to another law which overturns DC’s gun laws, I still think they’ll try to slip a new AWB by later. The reason? It seems odd to me that Carolyn “Shoulder Thing That Goes Up” McCarthy hasn’t submitted a new one by now. Isn’t that usually like the first (and only) thing she ever does? If I were a betting man, I’d wager that they’re waiting for some event (some cartel shooting up an American town, for instance) which they can use to bludgeon opposition in the House and Senate.
