SOTI, in response to this bullshit:
“World peace is nice but I think most of America would settle for $2 gasoline, home loan interest rates under 4%, and the ability to get out of the grocery store without spending $200.”
Kinda like things were under… President Donald Trump, shall we say?
Yeah, nobody saw this one coming:
Illinois’ new “assault weapon” and magazine ban is in effect, and on October 1, that state opened its registry for grandfathered weapons and magazines so that owners who already have legally purchased weapons can register them with the state. Illinois gun owners, of course, rushed to register their weapons and magazines in compliance with the new law.
Just kidding. Almost nobody has registered anything.
As part of the Protect Illinois Communities Act that was enacted earlier this year, the registration portal for firearms owners in Illinois that own certain semi-automatic firearms, accessories and ammunition opened Oct. 1. While the law bans more than 170 semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns, it also bans handgun magazines over 15 rounds and rifle magazines over 10 rounds. Magazines do not have to be registered.
Illinois State Police published the first round of statistics Tuesday, and of more than 2.4 million Firearm Owner ID card holders, 1,050 individuals have registered a total of 3,202 firearms, .50 caliber ammunition and accessories.
“You’re at 0.0004%. That’s a rounding error,” gun rights advocate Todd Vandermyde told The Center Square.
To be fair, as Glenn Reynolds would say, that’s about half the number of Connecticut gun owners who rushed to register their AR-15s etc. after a similar law was passed there.
ILGov Fatboi Pritzker must be shitting in his capacious pants.
One of the many things I detest about X/Twatter is that the response is posted above the initial Twat, so it requires eyeball gymnastics / Hebraic reading discipline to figure out what the hell everyone is talking about.
Here’s one stream, which I’ve edited so as to make it readable for people of reasonable intelligence:
…which brings me to my main point:
Adam Kinzinger is a total fuckhead.
And Ron DeSantis isn’t.
But you all knew that.
Here’s some (un)surprising news:
Republicans Are About to Get Caught With Their Pants Down in Virginia’s Elections
Ummm I hate to break it to you, but the Stupid Party’s pants are in a perpetual state of “down”, which is why the Socialists find it so easy to bend them over the desk, time after time.
Still, the details are awful, but in fact pretty predictable:
Virginia is one of the few states that holds its state-wide elections on off years, and the balance of its General Assembly there hangs in the balance. Gov. Glenn Youngkin has been working non-stop to secure a majority, both to deliver tangible conservative wins and to redefine the narrative surrounding more recent GOP losses.
Unfortunately, according to a new report, the Republican National Committee doesn’t seem to be interested in helping with that cause.
…because that might hinder the Stupid Party’s efforts to help the Socialists, you see.
And if you smell “Romney” all over this one, you would be correct.
The Republican Party is the NRA of conservatism.
Rule #1 when handling all loaded firearms, children?
Keep the booger-hook off the bang-switch!
Seems like this scrote didn’t get the memo:
A carjacker died after he accidentally blasted himself in the chest while trying to smash a window with the butt of his shotgun, an inquest has heard.
Officers investigating the death of Reece Ramsey-Johnson said they were satisfied there was ‘no third party involvement’ as they closed the probe into his killing.
Witnesses who saw the 22-year-old dying from gunshot wounds in the street outside a Lloyds bank in Sydenham on Sunday, September 8, said his own gun may have gone off when he used to to hit a car window.
Opening the inquest at Southwark Coroner’s Court on Thursday September 26, Dr Andrew Harris confirmed the police investigation had now ended.
He said: ‘The investigating officer is satisfied there is no third party involvement.
You may now do what I did when I first saw the report (and thanks to all who sent it to me):
Oh and by the way: criminals are not allowed to possess firearms in Britishland, so this report may be Russian disinformation. [/eyecross]
Leading with some discussion of Global Cooling Climate Warming Change©:
...and if that doesn’t cause the Belgies, Germans etc. to rethink the climate change bullshit… but wait! There’s more!
...so, not a complete disaster, then. Still on the topic of booze:
...now it’s expensive shit beer? (e.g. Molson’s or Heineken, for my Readers who’ve never tasted Foster’s or Swan)
In International Terrorism News:
...one wonders how she’d feel if a few Mossad guys did the same to her own kids, live on video. But she does have supporters, of course:
...actually, it does. In answer to the question “Which person in Congress would most likely be the first to strap on a bomb vest for use during the State of the Union speech?”, she wins by a country mile. And speaking of terrorsymps:
...like anyone would be surprised by that.
...”You’re next, assholes.” Well, I would have said that.
Latest news on the Socialist Front:
...bureaucracy at its finest. And then there’s incompetence:
…
...the cells being already filled with people who posted mean things on Twitter. Key word: Britain.
From the Out Of The Frying Pan And Onto The Gas Ring department:
...just wasn’t her night, was it?

Now, in more Sex News:
...my friend Patterson’s second wife Debbie was like that.
And in the perpetually link-free INSIGNIFICA:
...LOL small wonder (and no, you do not want to see the pics).
And now some news about a woman who isn’t a freak:
...and I have to admit, this is one old broad I wouldn’t mind exploring the Kama Sutra with.
And that’s all the news worth drooling over.
