One-upping the Segway. Paint it black, supercharge it, and I'd be interested.

Wishful thinking...

I laughed all the way through.

20 tons

As happy as I am that 20 tons of cocaine are now off the street, and thankfully in the hands of the Coast Guard, rather than Mexican officials, I've got mixed feelings on the whole thing.

I heard on the radio it was $500,000,000.00 worth of cocaine. Awesome right? Yes and no. Yes, because there are less drugs on the street. No, because the drugs on the street just got a lot more expensive and desirable, and consequently more worth fighting for.

I'm not supporting the legalization of cocaine, which in my opinion is one of the worst drugs known to man, but I fail to see any measurable success in the taking down the drug trade altogether. You don't win by cutting supply, you win by cutting demand. The less supply, the more demand, which drives the creation of more cocaine enterprises. It's like the band-aid is feeding the infection. But it's not like we can legalize it to reduce demand. Once you make cocaine cheap, you expose millions more who are willing to "try anything once," to a devastatingly addictive behavior. That would be social suicide for any government.

I don't pretend to know the answer, and I don't believe any government can annihilate the cocaine industry. But maybe the "war on drugs" should be more focused on reducing demand.

Doctrine of Defenselessness, Enforced.

Good bloody hell. Stalinism in Boston:

A reenactment of the Virginia Tech massacre has caused some serious problems at a Boston school. According to a local paper, an Emmanuel College adjunct professor was fired after replaying the incident to prove his pro-gun view.
[...]
The Boston Herald reports that Nicholas Winset, 37, of Newton, received a letter by courier that informed him of his termination. During his reenactment, the paper said Winset, an adjunct professor of financial accounting, was trying to prove that if there were more guns in society, someone might have been able to stop the massacre.

Proving a policy wrong, or even the pursuit thereof, must be the equivalent to seriously discrediting an entire religion. I just don't see it any other way; they are willing to silence the critics of their belief in defenselessness, no matter how many lives it will cost.

Laurie David

The only reason I'm blogging about her is because I felt the urge to Google her name after the recent news about her and Sheryl Crow getting into it with Karl Rove at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. And no, I won't talk about that incident.

But I did find something interesting on her blog at HuffPo.

She criticizes Rush Limbaugh for pretty much being an idiot about global warming. But au contraire, Ms. David is the one who speaks without thinking:

Global warming causes extreme weather in BOTH directions. For example, the reason the blizzards are getting worse in the Northeast is because the Great Lakes are no longer freezing over...

So if the Great Lakes no longer freeze over, what the hell do you call this?
Yup, that's the entire body of Lake Eerie completely frozen. Much of Ontario and Huron as well. But that's not unusual. What is really unusual is the idea that all of the Great Lakes annually freeze over, like clockwork, of course until Karl Rove's man-made global warming came in and stopped all that.

But that was never the case. The Lakes do occasionally freeze over, such as in 2003 and in the late 70s. Which would make them exceptions, not the rule. But I'm sure Ms. David was too busy with her global warming tours and rock star recruiting to mention that.

Second Amendment Carnival XI

Welcome to the eleventh edition
of the Second Amendment Carnival

Providing the best 2nd Amendment coverage the blogosphere has to offer.

"Guns don't belong in classrooms. They never will. Virginia Tech has a very sound policy preventing same." -Larry Hincker, Assoc. Vice President of Virginia Tech, September 5th, 2006

"To disarm the people... was the best and most effectual way to enslave them..." -George Mason, 1788

Another look at McCarthy's feel-good HR 1859, and why it's almost as stupid as its sponsor. Courtesy of the Constitution-worshiping Kurt Hofmann.

And if you haven't seen it, video of the knowledgeable sponsor.

Assert your freedom, you didn't miss national Buy a Gun Day did you? Ron couldn't wait. Maybe if you've filed an extension, you could still participate in spirit!

A revelation, but it's more like a realization. Gun control is far from crime control at Walls of the City.

Carrying your gun is like wearing a seatbelt. Great post from Politics, Guns & Beer.

Here's an update on Don Hamrick's open carry case.

The effectiveness of European gun bans at Rhymes with Right. I guess they were quite effective for criminals.

Parker and the Militia -why it's important even today, at Front Sight, Press.

Heh. Acme Anvil Co. sheds light on Rudy Giuliani's claim that he will buy you a gun if you can't afford one.

And FYI, the gun blogging community is back up at TTLB.

Virginia Tech related submissions:

First, one good reason why the law-abiding need guns, at Crime, Guns, & Video Tape.

Secondly, and importantly, the tragic Virginia Tech massacre inspires 2A conversation. A blogger against guns, stands up for the Second Amendment. Change is gradual, embrace him.

Asking the right questions about Virginia Tech, at Absolutelee.com.

The War on Guns has the official Virginia Tech "workplace violence policy." It certainly served the murderer well.

The Liberty Zone is unfortunately, prophetic. More unfortunate, is the push for more disarmament.

Say Uncle compiles incidents of mass murderers vs. armed citizens. I like those odds too.

The right to arms, superseded by "the right to feel safe?" The Smallest Minority delivers.

Pro-Gun Progressive asks and answers what kind of gun control laws could have prevented this. And a bullet flying at you will always look the same as one from a high capacity magazine.

Confronting Evil at Xavier Thoughts: "...a person cannot run from evil. Evil will come unannounced, and a man cannot stand up against it if he is not prepared to do so."

And finally, LawDog on gun bans... and alcohol bans, cocaine bans, meth bans..., well you get the idea. (link fixed)

Editors note: The shootings that took place at Virginia Tech were a tragic loss of valuable life. The victims and their families have been in my prayers, and I believe it's safe to say the prayers and thoughts of all of this carnival edition's participants. I don't speak for other bloggers, but commentary on the Virginia Tech shooting in the realm of Second Amendment dialogue, is not about politicization of a tragedy, but properly about life and liberty. The victims, 32 of them were denied an inalienable right, and consequently had their lives stolen. Gun control may be politics in the beltway, but to people like me, it's much worse than that.

***
"We believe that the constitutional right to bear arms is primarily a collective one, intended mainly to protect the right of the states to maintain militias...." - ACLU, March 4, 2002.

"...the Second Amendment, like other parts of the Bill of Rights, applies to and protects individual Americans." - 5th Circuit Court, 2001.

Many, many thanks to all those who participated in this edition, and stay tuned for Carnival XII. If you would like to participate in the next 2nd Amendment Carnival please go here, or submit via email to freeconstitution at gmail.com

Wow...

Awesome WWII fictional battle.

Second Amendment Carnival Saturday

Just a reminder, for those who are interested, I'll be hosting my monthly Second Amendment Carnival this Saturday. If you've got something good you'd like to have in the carnival, just go here or send it to freeconstitution at gmail.com.

It's been a busy month for 2A related issues, so this carnival should be a good one.

Another thing, I've been really busy the last several weeks, and if you haven't noticed, my blogging has been light. Hopefully that will change soon, but it doesn't look that way. There's a possibility I may have to give blogging up.

I know I have a few die hard regulars, and I can't thank you guys enough.

The Asian Shooter...

...Who should have been there today:

The other Asian shooter is now rotting in Hell. I blame the gun culture. It's not nearly big enough.

Quote of the... Month.

If we had the proper level of self-respect, we wouldn’t act like it’s only a crime when a white man disrespects us. We hold Imus to a higher standard than we hold ourselves. That’s a (freaking) shame. -Jason Whitlock.

Hoplophobia

An excellent guest editorial over at the War on Guns.

And another tidbit I found in the comments:

"Years ago my Kindergarten teacher taught me that it "takes two to fight". One of my classmates taught me that if I don't fight back it only takes one to kick my ass all over the playground."

The altruistic nature of Iran's goodwill...

Is completely exposed right here.

via HotAir

The Iranian Image

Was most likely the reason behind the kidnappings and subsequent release of the British sailors and marines, not to mention the photo-ops and parades.
If you didn't gather that already.

The SF Chronicle words it nicely:

Not only did Iran demonstrate a willingness to forcibly confront other powers, it helped erode Blair's already crumbling public support, sent a shock through the oil markets and gave Ahmadinejad a chance to look like a forgiving friend rather than the zealot he is often perceived to be.

At some point, the Iranians apparently decided they had gotten as much out of the crisis as they were going to get.

Joseph Nye would call this a manipulation of their "soft power," and although I'd like to think everybody knows it was a ridiculous stunt on the part of Iran, but within the context of Iraq, Iran scored; Britain -not quite. Nor the West for that matter.

Iran almost had nothing to lose. Public opinion was not in their favor, yet with the war in Iraq increasingly opposed worldwide, Iran's actions made Iraq look that much worse, and their publicized treatment of the British and eventual release as a gesture of "goodwill," could only reflect positively on them.

But more importantly, it put pressure on Britain and the U.S., and now we are more consciously aware of Iran when dealing with Iraq. Depending on how this plays out in international public opinion, support for necessary action against Iran may have been jeopardized, thus giving Iran more freedom to develop nuclear weapons. Let's hope the world sees this as what it is, not what Iran wants it to look like.

Yippie Kayee...

Cause of Global Warming

Nothing spurious here folks, this is genuine. Pirates are dying off fast, on the verge of extinction, so I am going to implement some tax-funded pirate sanctuaries, since obviously as you can see, their presence minimizes rising temperatures. I mean, there's such a clear connection, like CO2 and rising temperatures.

And how dare anyone claim dwindling pirate numbers are merely the effect of rising temperatures; do you know what that could do to my grant money for pirate sanctuaries!?! You ignorant bastard.
