First we see this (no links):
…and then we see this:
The first headline makes me want to sharpen my bayonet; the second makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl.
Afterthought: Possession of an AK-47 is illegal in Frankistan, so that gun control law is obviously working well.
From Lincoln Brown at PJMedia:
“MindGeek doesn’t care about free speech. Porn is big money, and MindGeek and its associates want as much of that money as they can get, no matter what the human damage may be.”
All very noble and moral etc. Now let’s just substitute a few words:
“The federal government doesn’t care about free speech. Taxation is big money, and the government and its associates want as much of that money as they can get, no matter what the human damage may be.”
Works, dunnit?
Update: Okay, I screwed up. I should have posted the 1963 Lancia Flaminia instead:
Satisfied?
Wait, who let the Brit chick in?
And to celebrate the Great American Family:
From the rest of us:
And some more citizens with guns:
Makes you proud to be American, dunnit?
And from Across The Pond, a sour greeting:
And seeing as it’s July 4th, why not look back at a time when we made manly American cars?
I can’t help but think that once Paul Revere had got over the “No horses?” shock, he’d have approved, mightily.
And I think all the Founding Fathers would have approved of this farming implement:
…and they would have been quite familiar with the word “Gladiator”.
Not a shooting this time; but it reminds me of the old saying, “If guns are outlawed, may we use swords?”
Seems as though some asswipe was hassling a couple on a NYC subway train, and when the hassling became dangerous, the male of the couple produced a knife and stuck it in the choirboy’s chest, the latter assuming room temperature soon thereafter.
But wait! There’s more!
Of course, because this happened in NYfC, Our Hero was arrested and the fuzz set about charging him with murder, unlawful use of a kitchen implement, terminal frightening or whatever stupid laws they have in New York these days.
BUT: after reviewing all the facts, all charges were dropped because, and I quote,
“Under New York law, a person is justified in using deadly physical force when they reasonably believe it is necessary to use such force to defend themselves or others from imminent use of deadly or unlawful physical force.”
Sounds more like Texas or Florida than NYFC, but whatever.
And speaking of quotes, let’s hear it from the late choirboy’s family:
Ouedraogo’s younger sister Marina said she believes the dismissal was “just wrong,” The New York Times reported. “It is sending a signal that basically any one of us can carry a weapon.”
Well, yeah… welcome to the Second Amendment, honey.
