Dumb Laws

California is home of the dumbest laws. The one that pisses me off the most, is the assault rifle ban. What constitutes an assault rifle, has nothing to do with how dangerous a gun is. It has to do with characteristics of a weapon that look intimidating (link for more reading). Some law maker decided a pistol grip is a characteristic of a threatening weapon, so they passed a law that bans any gun with pistol grips. Here is an image of the same gun, one is banned while the other is not. How is a pistol grip any more dangerous than a model without?!! How does one gun kill more people than the same model with a different feature? What kind of joke is this? How does a folding stock make a weapon more deadly?. I am sorry, but if a stock folds, it doesn’t make it any more concealable or dangerous. Have you tried sticking a rifle down the leg of your pants? The problem with the law is that it bans many weapon models who don’t offer alternate configurations. Also, many weapons are banned by name.

There are many parts to the assault rifle ban, including flame throwers and grenade launchers. Yes, I am in total agreement on that ban. But pistol grips, magazines, and folding stocks….what the hell?

The assault weapon ban expired in the United States in 2004, but now there is a push to reinstate the ban on the national level. Even though the law expired on the national level, it is still in affect in California. Even though there is a ban in California, there is nothing to prevent someone from driving across the border with a weapon. But wait, in the laws it says its you shouldn’t possess one. I am sure all the law-abiding criminals are going to follow this rule.

Thankfully we have the brainiac, Nancy Pelosi in office. She will straighten things out….just as soon as people stop lying to her.

Also, people like this piss me off: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x199479. Quote “ban Hummers. They just look too military and people feel threatened by them.”

I am sorry, they look to WHAT? Should we all drive p*-mobiles? If you are p*, stay home, hang up your purse, kick off your heels, and watch the steelers while you sip your wine cooler.

Revelation: [most] NES GAMES SUCK!

What sucks the most is that these games were $39 (later on SNES $49), and you bought them and they blew sheep balls. And the lame nintendo power magazine would never tell you the truth about how bad most games suck. They would just make it out like every game was awesome, and feature posters and codes and crap.

I wish I had an honest review like this back when I was a kid. I could have saved a fortune. Most of the time we rented games, but our crappy "Video Express" store had 1 copy of each game, cost $2.76 (yes I remember the exact ammount, because I had to scrounge it up out of cushions or the ashtray), and you rented the game for 48 hours. The people at the store were never any help, so you ended up riding all way down to the store to just see what they had in stock.

Ah. to be home

When I was born, they placed me in an incubator box.
I live in a state run by Barbara Boxer.
I live in a box house, on a street with many other box houses.
I drive my box car, to my box building job.
Where I will work for 45 years until I am ready for a much smaller box.
I work in a box, called a cubicle.
I stare at a box (computer screen) all day.
Inside that box are little box windows.
I sort stuff into boxes, which are named "folders".
I print stuff out, where I walk down the hallway to pick it up from a big box printer. The printer is always broken. Piece of crap.
I talk to my boss in his big box office.
I pick up my box lunch from the cafeteria.
Occasionally, I check my mailbox for junk mail.
I work in long box called a "lab".
I take a dump in a box stall.
In the evening, I illegally take the diamond lane home (which is just a box rotated 45 degrees).
After parking, I notice there is a brown box left by my front door.
Delivered by the box man in his box truck.
I carry my box into my box house, where I am greeted by my family and my dogs. So much joy, that you forget about the mediocre day filled with boxes. F-da boxes, I am home.

Check your ears and calibrate your speakers

Top 10 Cinemassacre’s Shootem Up Movies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStAxtEAhfI

Is it bad that I use many of the scenes featured in these clips to calibrate my home stereo. I just pop in the DVD and jump to those scenes. I figure, if you can hear all the gunshots, talking, echoing, clips, clicks, bullets ricocheting, cartridges hitting the floor…then damn, your sound system is perfect.

It will be a cold day in hell when I use "You’ve Got Mail” to calibrate my stereo.

The Great Government Ponzi Scheme

How long are we going to let government run the great ponzi scheme called "Social Security"? What num-nuts thought this pyramid scheme system through? How can we rely on the money raised today by people under 65 to support people over 65?

I have been maxing out my social security contributions ($10K/year), and now the jack A$$es in office want to raise the caps!!!! Yeah, the guys voting to raise the caps are 60 friggin' years old. What does it matter to you if you raise the caps?

People are going to progressively live longer, and how can you expect the little money saved now to help people every year after retirement? Why should individuals be forced into this government savings system? I am pretty sure my money would be better spent on the stock market than spent on social security.

I tell you what, how about make it an option system, let me opt out now, and you can keep everything you have already taken, and I won't ask for a dime when I turn 65, or whatever age you deem fit for retirement. As it seems to be continually changing. More BS to the system.

First the government forces you to save money. Then they tell you how old you have to be to get it back. They tell you how much you will get later, and they give you a little bit every week. What the hell is this? And when it does come time to give the money back, the inflation is so far through the roof, that the money you get can't pay for groceries and rent.

When are we going to shut down this system?

Are you a redneck?

[found on the internet]
Are you a Democrat, a Republican or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife and charges at you.

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family..

What
do
you do?

Democrat's Answer :


Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing!

I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
