<i>crimes in restaurants dropped over 5%</i>

Since when has "restaurant crime" been a thing? Let alone a measurable statistic? San Francisco has hundreds of restaurants and guns are NOT allowed. Yet they've managed to avoid the hundreds of shoot-em-up gun battles that apparently plague Virginia eateries.

Obama, contrary to his training as a constitutional scholar, has instructed his Justice Dept. to defend the Patriot Act, and they have done so with enthusiasm. Rather than, youknow, failing to file appeals on cases brought against it during the W years, or otherwise being lackluster and half-assed in its response to challenges, which is the time-honored way one deals with bad laws on the books.

It's just a teensy bit disappointing.

When I have heard of shootings in 'restaurants', the location has been McDonald's.

NYC just had the lowest murder rate in forever. Did we we all get to carry guns into restaurants in 2013? I don't remember that happening.

Let's see if we can correlate murder rates with gun ownership, shall we? <a href="http://www.deathpenaltyinfo..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-nati...">http://www.deathpenaltyinfo...

Yeah, pretty much what I thought. Those damned liebrul facts, always fucking with the wingnutz fantasies.

Clearly related to gun-totin' diners. Clearly <a href="http:\/\/www.ricknevin.com\/uploads\/USA_Murder_Rate_at_Historic_Record_Low.pdf" target="_blank">not related in any way to this.</a>

Because if they breached the sheep and bleated like woodwork, something would be morally wrong.

You say this like it was a bad thing.

How about if they bleached the sheep and beat the wood(work)?
