Greetings, representatives of the People’s Glorious Wonkitburo! We thought we would start this edition of Our Cold Dead Hands with a gun-related tale that could have had terrible and tragic consequences for world diplomacy, but because no one was hit with any shotgun pellets, turned out to be amusing in a “Holy flurking shnit” sort of way. It seems that back in 2006, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, that forum every year where the world’s craziest leaders get a chance to stand up and denounce the Zionists or water fluoridation or whatever plot their fortune tellers see in a bunch of goat entrails spread on a rock in their backwards desert kingdoms. One day during the confab, Ahmadinejad and his entourage were getting into their cars outside his hotel. Nearby, a Secret Service agent (the Secret Service guards foreign dignitaries when they are in the U.S.) was adjusting a shotgun mounted on the side of his Suburban when the gun went off. Luckily no one was hurt. Our favorite part of the story is that Ahmadinejad heard the shotgun blast, looked around, and seemingly thought to himself “Gunfire? Oh right, I’m in America.” Then he got into his car and drove to the U.N. because again, America, what are you going to do, amiright?
This whole line of reasoning about the AR-15 being no good for hunting is hillarious* when paired with the NRA's "the 2nd Amendment isn't about hunting" talking point.
Bingo - there was an armed citizen with a handgun outside the IHOP in Carson City, Nevada when a gunman blew 4 people away 18 months ago. When the media asked him why he didn't at least *try*, he said he couldn't guarantee at the distance and slope (he was across the parking lot and uphill) he could hit the gunman and incapacitate him in one shot. And he knew he'd only get one shot before the bad guy turned on him with his AK-47.
Thanks to MSNBC, I have now heard LaPierre's soundbite about 50 times. I think what LaPierre is saying is that "No rich Jew from New York is going to tell us what to do."
“Politics is like jumping off a diving board. You rise, you plateau, but at the end of the day everyone comes down. Some people make a splash and some people belly flop. She belly flopped. "
I think the maneuver is called a "Krauthammer".
Elmer Fudd?
LaPierre sounds French and yet he’s a total asshole. How did that happen?
The gun industry is not upset, they are rolling in cash! <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/0..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/25/news/companies/gu...">http://money.cnn.com/2013/0...

*an incredibly stupid thing to say
And grizzly shit smells like pepper.

What calibre ammo do you use to shoot staples?
I am curious to know what Malkin&#039;s big, stupid head had to say but not curious enough to risk my sanity by clicking on a link to her website.
The right to bear arms?
