'Getting out of control'? Guy, you went past being in control

a looong time ago.


Ruger makes a version of their Precision Rifle in .22lr. And Shannon Watts is all pissed-off that someone 18 or over can buy it. Because "EVIL BLACK RIFLE!", etc., and took to Twitter* over it.

In the comments(I know, but I couldn't help myself) one of her Twidiots named Paul Wu has a fit because people dared point out that this is just a bolt-action .22:
'And stop it with your ammosexual pedantry as a desperate ploy to muddy the waters. You know exactly what gun control advocates mean when we say assault style weapons - semi-automatic, pistol grip, threaded barrel that accepts intermediate-power cartridges. '
Thus informing is that
'Pedantry' is now defined as 'pointing out facts that he doesn't approve of',
And that Paul is an ignorant fool. Or tool. Both, actually.

Note that according to this, a threaded barrel apparently turns a bolt-action rifle into an 'assault style weapon'. If, again, you're an ignorant fool.


I think he could've used a pocket pistol.  The piece of crap who did this earned ventilation.


From NPR, mind you, accurate information on violent crimes involving firearms.  Though this is a bit of nonsense:
"Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49 percent lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation's population grew," according to the Pew study. "The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75 percent lower in 2011 than in 1993."

All of that is good news — but many Americans don't seem to be aware of it. In a survey, the Pew Research Center found that only 12 percent of Americans believe the gun crime rate is lower today than it was in 1993; 56 percent believe it's higher.
They probably don't know it because, led by a bunch of talking heads(including some of yours, NPR) who constantly scream about 'the epidemic of gun violence!', they don't hear these facts.


It seems that some of the teenagers being used(abused?) by the media and left(but I repeat myself) to demand "Listen to the children, ban guns!" are now comparing themselves to the Founders of this country.  Because "They were young too, but you don't tell people to ignore them."

Oh, you poor little twits.  You have accomplishments like theirs, maybe I'll listen to your "Do what I want!" demands.  Doubt it, but at least you'd have actually DONE SOMETHING other than be a media puppet.



*Go look if you want.  Some people actually do point out she's having a fit over a bolt-action .22, but her twidiots are still crapping.
