Xavier has a post that you have to read.
I had 23 [junk] guns to turn in and didn’t want to take them all in at once as I expected that would raise suspicions. So I decided to visit three or more turn-in locations to “spread” things out. You know, take five or so into each location until I ran out of guns or they ran out of [$100] credit cards.
just about every gunnie has thought about it, someone actually did it.
it works better if you play these two in order…

According to Plantation police, two armed men barged into the Subway at 1949 Pine Island Road shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday, demanding money from the employee behind the counter. When they tried to force John Lovell into the bathroom, he pulled out a gun and shot both men, police said.
Donicio Arrindell, 22, was shot in the head and later died at the hospital. Fredrick Gadson, 21, was shot in the chest and ran from the Subway, but police found him in hiding in some bushes on the property of a nearby BankAtlantic.
Lovell, 71, was the lone customer at the time. Police said he had a concealed weapons permit.
A witness who was about to enter the Subway at the time said he thought the shootings were justified.
“I think justice, you know, was served and a civilian was a hero for today,” Sebastian Shakespeare said.
Police said Lovell, a retired Marine, wouldn’t be charged.
so Mayor Bloomie wants to start charging drivers $8 a day to enter (what everyone in brooklyn calls) the city (manhattan below 96th street). while i generally don’t think that this it’s the .gov’s job, i would like to propose a modest compromise that may help to ease congestion. bring back the motorcycle (and scooter for you hip kids) parking. it works pretty damn good in italia, and even frogland (or at least it did until the commies of paris started cracking down on 2 wheelers and implemented, suprise suprise, congestion taxes for the cages).
The move comes as China itself faces international criticism, especially in the United States, over a series of scandals that have plagued Chinese food, drugs and other products from poisoned cough syrup to tainted toothpaste and pet food.
…
In recent months, U.S. inspectors have banned or turned away a growing number of Chinese exports, including monkfish containing life-threatening levels of pufferfish toxins, drug-laced frozen eel and juice made with unsafe color additives.
The bill defines depraved violence as “any photographic, photorealistic, or other similar visual representation of the rape, dismemberment, physical torture, mutilation, or evisceration of a human body.” Indecent images would be any such visual representation “of a person or a portion of the human body which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which is harmful to minors.”
Are you F’ing kidding me!? A FELONY? I know that in just 5 more years this won’t matter anymore but, damn, a felony? I know it’s already lost all meaning, but seriously…
The crash happened near the town of Hawkesbury — about 100 km (60 miles) northeast of Ottawa — after the man stopped to pick up 20-year-old Mandy Deschambeault.
“The male driver proceeded to step out of his vehicle momentarily at which point the female jumped in the driver seat, stealing the male person’s car,” local police said in a statement Monday.
“She proceeded to lose control of the … car, crossing the other lane hitting trees. The female was ejected from the vehicle and found to be without vital signs.”
Deschambeault was pronounced dead in hospital.
for the record, my wife has flown three times, twice internationally, with a pocket knife in her purse (accidentially), tho I’m pretty sure this takes the cake.
Mary Martell discovered Ginger, the family pet, in her luggage after a two-hour plane ride to Toronto and an hour’s drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The cat apparently snuck into a bag while Martell was packing.
Martell said her bag was scanned at the airport, but she was not stopped.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also threw out the district’s requirement that registered firearms be kept unloaded, disassembled and under trigger lock.

The state House on Thursday rejected a Democratic amendment that would have banned splash guards with images that are “obscene or hateful.”
“I personally am tired of explaining to my 11-year-old son why they (women) are depicted on mudflaps , but not all women are 36Ds. He’s very confused by that,” Ulmer said.
How awful that the representative would have to, you know, actually parent…
Jeebus H. Keerist on a flaming pogo stick. did someone put something in our water? Now some jagoff wants to ban spinny wheels? Shat’s next? A blanket ban on shiny objects?
