Well, Bloomberg thinks the law only applies to him

and his causes when he wishes it to, so no big surprise he'd use city facilities/people/money for his own purposes.
And note that, much like Gunwalker, this was brought up by a blogger.


I think a lot of clowns in DC consider this a good thing: combine nobody being able to live without breaking SOME law they don't even know about with the NSA and EffingBI nosing through everyones' e-mails and phone calls, they can always find something to charge ANYONE with.


Kind of a joke with daughter a few years back: "It can't be harmful, it's natural!"
"So is cyanide."
A pretty good piece taking that much more in-depth on the subject of "Oh, the horrors, manmade additives!" and such.


Some information on stopping power.  Short version: all handgun rounds pretty much suck, and rifles and shotguns aren't always that great, either.


There was some outrage a few days back that some prosecution 'experts' weren't allowed to testify in the Zimmerman trial about the yelling on the recordings.  If you've followed this mess, you know why; if you haven't, well, it's because said experts are full of shit.


What, you expect politicians and bureaucrats to cut actual fat and waste when they can screw people over in the name of playing their power games?

I recently talked to a young lady who was shot at less than a foot away with a .357 hollowpoint. The bullet struck the humerus (upper arm bone) from the side and shattered it, but did not exit the arm. Yes, the bone was shattered, but there was no penetration past that. I was a bit surprised by that.

Hope the young lady has retained the use of the arm. muscles and bones heal, hopefully the bullet and bone frags missed the nerves.

At the other end of the scale, in the slaughter plant trials where it was supposedly determined that .45 was the minimum acceptable calibre for a US military handgun.

The best knockdown of cattle in the trial was an instant kill with a single chest shot from a .30 Luger

Instead of Cyanide, my retort is "so was the Hemlock Socrates drank."
