"If there's a lack of feedback, we block bidding by that person so as not to waste our time."
Well, isn't that wonderful. Apparently this includes "If you haven't bought a bunch of stuff, so you have very little feedback, we'd rather not be bothered with you." Which is a great way to not get the money someone wanted to trade for your item.

Ah, Benchmade, and I really wanted one of your knives
The Oregon City PD posted this:
You can guess how well that went over.
Then came this:
No, that doesn't seem to be helping. Among other comments being "You bastards can't afford an angle grinder to do it yourself?"
Yes, a bad couple of days for Benchmade, and the PD isn't real happy either
And then someone did some digging and found that Benchmade has largely- maybe only- given money to Democrats. Which, in Oregon, pretty much means 'People who want to ban guns. And then go after knives, because they want to be like Britain.
Yeah, this is going to end well for Benchmade.

From Lawdog a few years ago on silly-ass laws
The last 40-50 years, though, I get the impression that Emotion has been the major factor in the passing of Law.
Why did we temporarily ban "assault rifles"?
Logically, an "assault rifle" is woefully underpowered compared to a hunting rifle. Hell, some places won't let hunters use 5.56mm to hunt 80 pound deer because it won't kill them reliably.
No. We banned "assault rifles" because some-bloody-idiot got on the TeeVee with her lower lip trembling and started whining about how "scary" black assault rifles looked.
Same thing with switchblades.
A switchblade sucks as a fighting knife compared to a fixed blade knife, but some-bloody-idiot got up in front of the Texas Legislature -- no doubt with a trembling lip -- and started whining about them uppity minorities killin' everbody and Grandma Frickert with switchblades and we're stuck with a silly-assed law.
Emotion is a piss-poor reason for passing laws, and it's about time that someone with some testicular fortitude got into politics and pointed this out.
Throw in that along with the lip-tremblers we have the major-media asshats who've yet to set a 'ban this tool for the Children!' line that they won't run with.

Note from the range
No, I not only don't know who you are, I don't care; this is the rule, and you'll go by it like everyone else.
Want my supervisor? I'll call him over. Oh, you want the owner(who you know personally)? Go to it.
Prima donnas in everything, and they're all the same.

"You can't do that without getting a warrant"
seems like a good thing. Now there's another question:
The judges also accused Baltimore authorities of misleading the lower-court judge who had approved their use of the device, commonly known as a stingray.
Will said Baltimore authorities pay any price for 'misleading the court'? The way a plain old citizen would?
I think Fireclean is making a big mistake here, both on general "Why stir up a mess that's not actually a big one?" terms and "You've never heard of the Streisand Effect, have you?" Because this is going to get them a LOT of publicity, damn little of it good.
This headline brought to you by idiots who've never been hungry.
And their answer is 'we need to have more control over what and how much people eat." Of course.
That's it for now, see you whenever there's time next.

About that mess in Oregon, one of the charges made against the ranchers
was 'they started a fire to cover up poaching'. Problem:
So, the whole mess wouldn't have happened without dirtbag feds stealing peoples' land for 'their' refuge, and the idiots who took over the building aren't helping.
Speaking of power-grabby feds, who the hell told the EPA that light pollution is 'in their portfolio'? And how many ways of screwing people do you think they can come up with in this?
(o) Federal attorneys, Frank Papagni, hunted down a witness who was not mentally capable to be credible. Dusty Hammond (grandson and nephew) testified that Steven told him to start a fire. He was 13-years-old at the time, and 24-years-old when he testified (11 years later).I'd suggest going through the whole thing. The idiots who took over the building, well, 'idiots' about covers it. And the feds involved appear to be the kind of 'Do anything to get what the .gov wants' assholes we've come to know and loathe.
At 24 Dusty had been suffering with mental problems for many years. He had estranged his family including his mother. Judge Hogan noted that Dusty’s memories as a 13-year-old boy were not clear or credible.
However, Judge Hogan allowed the prosecution to continually use Dusty’s testimony. When speaking to the Hammonds about this testimony, they understood Dusty was manipulated and expressed nothing but love for their troubled grandson. (more)

Either S&W has gone, as Tam put it, nearly Colt-level stupid,
or their lawyers are idiots.
Speaking of idiots,
“If I have a cold I can’t buy Sudafed without ID, but I can walk into a basic NY gun shop and walk out with enough bullets to arm a small army..." yak yak yak, etc. ad Bullshit.
Yes, they want your ammunition, too.
By the way, Simon, you moron: making it that hard to get a decongestant hasn't worked out that well, has it? Which you're apparently too stupid to take in the lesson of.
Yes, NOAA and the warmenists(or would that be changists now?) are gaming the data. And they really don't like being caught at it. But this does sound like a good solution:
Do they really not understand that billions of tax dollars come with certain legal strings attached? “Shut up and go away” is not an acceptable response to a Congressional subpoena. The taxpayers paid for the scientists as well as the nonscientists whose government records they deigned to release. No oversight? Fine, no funding. Shut NOAA down until they comply. Good luck in the private sector, folks.

Does not sound like the way to reassure people
that you're not up to something.
Sources in attendance in the Real County Courthouse told PJ Media that Pawlak said the military would be in Texas to train for “unconventional warfare suited to large land, low population areas.” There would be no aircraft, he said, but there would be firing of blank ammunition and grenade simulators. He said that the participants would be clearly marked with orange arm bands on their left arms.
This contradicts earlier reports that participants in Jade Helm would be indistinguishable from the general population.
This part, not a big surprise; maybe someone had a rush of intelligence and realized that people in plain clothes and shooting 'blanks and grenade simulators' in a state
Worried about cartel smugglers and violence,
Worried about terrorists sneaking across the border, and
Where a lot of people are armed to the teeth
might not be the best of ideas. It's this part that bothers me:
Others in attendance report that the citizens sought to ask questions and that county officials said no questions would be allowed from the floor. Those in attendance were so angry and concerned that they refused to be silenced and shouted questions from the floor to Pawlak and to the Commissioners Court.
You'd think they'd WANT people to ask questions, if only to pretend(if you were pretending) to have some concern for local thoughts; saying "No questions, sit down and shut up" obviously isn't going to go over well.

Holder, you're not getting off that easy!
In a statement issued moments ago, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa “praised the inclusion of special provisions in the proposed 113th Congress rules package that will keep in place legal obligations on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and others at the Justice Department as a result of lawful subpoenas issued in the 112th Congress.
“The inclusion of these provisions in the House rules will allow the civil suit, authorized by a bipartisan vote of the House in July 2012, which seeks federal courts to compel the production of relevant subpoenaed documents to continue,” the press release issued by Frederick R. Hill, Committee Director of Communications advised. “Without these provisions, the Justice Department could have argued that its obligation to produce subpoenaed documents expired with the previous Congress.”
I'll bet Holder and Obama and every other appointee connected to this had hoped it would go away; I hope they get ulcers thinking about this.
And, of course, Rep. Cummings(referred to by the Dutchman as Bloody-Hands) is still trying to protect Holder and the others; after all, no pile of bodies and lies is enough to justify troubling The Lightbringer and his minions, right?
Found a link at the Dutchman's about a group called the 'Center for Biological Diversity' which has decided that banning guns is an essential part of their movement:
The Center for Biological Diversity has long fought the NRA over the senseless killing of endangered wolves, condors, polar bears and bald eagles. After the horrific, gun-charged killings in Newtown — and seeing the NRA’s sickening refusal to take responsibility or support any gun violence reforms at all — I’ve decided that enough is enough! . . .
We just ran a full-page ad in The New York Times calling out the NRA’s extremist political agenda and endorsing not only the elimination of highly toxic lead from bullets (a longtime Center campaign) but also legislation to end gun violence against people.
Please stand with us this holiday season. Donate to our Stop NRA Extremism Fund today so we can continue to run ads and campaigns protecting people and wildlife from gun violence and pollution. Then visit our NRA Hostage website and sign the petitions. Spread the word by sharing the website on Facebook and forwarding this email to your friends.
Some will say gun violence is not an environmental issue. I say, after Newtown, gun violence is an issue for all Americans. After Newtown, breaking the NRA’s stranglehold on our political system is an issue for everyone.
Translation: "Banning private ownership of guns is part of the progressive cause, and we're part of it!"
Yeah, watermelons: green outside, red inside.
Speaking of gun bigots, had a go-round with a guy who announced that
the .223/5.56 and 5.7x28 cartridges should be banned from civilian possession( including banning all reloading dies for them),
ANY rifle or pistol chambered for either cartridge should be banned(yes, bolt-actions and single-shots, too),
ANYTHING with a 'black parkerized finish or charging handle on the top or side' is not for self-defense and should be banned,
and on. And on. And then moved onto wanting gun licensing, registration, nation ballistic fingerprinting of every gun, sales only through a FFL holder or LE agency to other licensed owners, etc. And ending with
Is this a form of registration (like Hitler used when he collected all the guns and put a captial penalty on possession) - Unfortunately, yes. Will this prevent a Sandy Hook? Probably not, the gun owner was irresponsible (and largely I have no sympathy for her because of that.) But will it potentially prevent countless other Sandy Hooks? I think yes.
So. It'll be hugely expensive, won't work very well, insanely troublesome for honest people and would NOT have preventted Sandy Hook, 'but it might prevent others so it's worth it!'
No, I did not move to Language Practice; I did keep to facts and history.
Ever notice how that pisses off people like this?
Dick's Sporting Goods hasn't just stepped on its dick; it did so wearing cleats. This is going to cost that chain hugely, not only because of the "We won't deliver what we sold you" but the WAY they did this; I mean, come ON, people, how stupid are your managers?
Michael Moore, you racist bastard!
Back when this dirtbag brought out Fahrenheit 911, friend saw it and was really pissed at Bush; I printed out a list of, as I recall, '20 lies in the movie' and gave it to her. Which list pissed her off even more at having been lied to so openly.

The wonders of gun control on display in Chicago:
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago has logged its 500th homicide of 2012.
The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. Last year, city records show Chicago had 435 homicides.
Ah, Chicago; where Richard the Turd had constant armed security, where the Mayor's kids get police escort to and from their private school(which has armed guards), and they all lecture the commoners that "You don't need a gun, trust the police!"
But wait! It's only 499 after all! Except
Of course, the real reason can be found in our comment section:
- Nope time to update again scc.... It appears gmac shit a brick at the morning phone conference with all of the commanders and demanded we stay under 500... Then poof, chief of dics offered the supt a case that could be reclassified to a death investigation... So now the dept officially came out and said we are at 499. This was info from a commander who was on the morning call but has now been confirmed via the statement and story by the tribune this afternoon... Yep it's all legit

Yeah, I imagine Rush is loving it
just as much as President Obama and his buttmonkeys are hating it. Two reasons:
One is the obvious: Rush will pick up that ball and run with it, loudly. If Obama had to mention him at all, this was NOT the way to do it.
Second, this would seem to demonstrate that he seems to think that because he won the job interview, it means he gets what he wants. Right now. Don't you even think about arguing about it, let alone saying 'no'.
In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the proposal, the president shot back: "I won," according to aides briefed on the meeting.
"I will trump you on that."
Translation: "I won the election, and that means you do what I want."
Not that Obama was gloating. He was just explaining that he aims to get his way on stimulus package and all other legislation, sources said, noting his unrivaled one-party control of both congressional chambers.
The hell he wasn't; he was gloating AND threatening. Which brings us to this:
One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.
"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."
Translation: "Not only should you do what Pres. Obama says, and right now, but if you think the Evil Party is going to take major responsibility for this, you're nuts! We need Stupid Party members helping pass this so we've got cover, and can blame the problems on them later!"
Take being very picky, downright dumb at times, about refusing to answer questions from the media, add to that the entitlement mentality, stir in dumb comments like that about Limbaugh... I wonder if he really has any idea just how much trouble he's causing for himself?
