Why Universal Background Checks Will Not Work

Posted 04-05-2013 at 01:20 PM by shooting4life

1. The majority of crime guns come from straw purchasers or a stolen per the DOJ, this universal background checks wouldn't actually reduce crime.

2. Even those who are denied during current background checks, where the majority of guns are already purchased, are not prosecuted. It is a felony to lie on federal form 4473. In 2010 of the 76k denials from the background check only 62 per prosecuted.

Some Leftovers To Go With The Leftovers

Posted 04-03-2013 at 05:27 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

While many of you (and this writer, too) are still trying to shovel away all the leftovers from Easter, I just had a crazy thought about something that just happened in one of the vacation towns I recently visited. Just a few leftover thoughts from the tail end of a great road trip on U.S. Highway 281 in Texas. Maybe my timing's better this time. Funny how weather works in Texas, right? Well, stay with me on this one.

This song still holds true til this day.
No, I didn't get it from the show Weeds, which I tried to watch, but the main character was just too trashy of a selfish deadbeat mom to stomach. If they had put more Doug Wilson in the script, I may have watched.
Anyway, crazy individuality over blind conformity ANY DAY!!!

Free, Free, Free!

Well, for today, anyway -- possibly for longer. (One can only hope!)

Yesterday, I left the office where I've been working since early February because I had absolutely NO work available to me. Frustrating, because there is plenty of work to do, but the Project Manager I am reporting to is -- well, disorganized. So, I am taking a break.

And there's the phone....

I just talked with my "handler" and it looks like I can take a couple of weeks...
