Where the East Petered Out

That’s Dallas, formerly my hometown, where we didn’t used to have cops who raised these types of questions. Nor did we have a citizenry that would allow the continued employment of a man so ignorant of the Constitution.
“It still raises the suspicion: Why does a person have these types of weapons?” Chief Golbeck said.
Because he can? Because gun ownership isn’t limited to the po-po? Asshole…glad I’m gone, so I don’t have to worry about random jackasses rummaging through my stuff and calling the 5-0 if I’ve got too many things he don’t like. Glad I don’t have to worry about being on the receiving end of a story because Golbeck doesn’t like my choice in firearms. Hell, who am I kidding? That’s America today…not many officials want the proles armed.
There’s a random child pornography rumor thrown in there to guarantee media coverage, but while Chief Golbeck had all the minutest of details on the scary black guns (Uzi, SKS, Tec-9), why, he’s just completely in the dark on that end of it…have to leave it to someone else to handle.
I hope our valiant & faithful media watchdogs follow up on this shocking story of legal gun ownership. As Ace says (where I learned of this), “Eh. If he’s clean, he’s clean. If he’s not, he’s not.” It doesn’t excuse, though, a Deputy Chief throwing off bullshit remarks about having to explain perfectly legal firearms. Not yet, anyway, but just wait.

We have got to be headed to the tipping point where “we the people” as a whole will finally bother themselves to call their congressmen and express their opinions about little things like freedoms and taxes. The problem now is few people really give a rat’s ass until it’s their ox getting gored. In my circle, I’m the only one getting my dander up about $10/cigar tax coming down the pike; none of them care because they don’t smoke cigars. But try putting a $10 tax on their an iPod and the iShit will hit the iFan, I guarantee you that.

Now that is a great idea. Tax the iPods, and while you’re at it, tax the iShit and the iFan. Really, tho, how could they not know child pornography when they saw it? It either is or it isn’t. I mean, you don’t need a Phd to tell.
