I was over at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) Facebook page and noticed a comment from one of their, umm, what do you call people that comment on your Facebook? We'll go with Facebook commenter. This commenter, Marche, commented that she copied a pasted a comment by someone else. Her copy/paste was, in part:

Airport security breach thwarted by...counting
Apparently the security is so lax at San Diego International Airport, that a man bypasses TSA screening and boards plane with no ticket.
Wait, what? Yep, you read that right.
But, there's more
Wait, what? Yep, you read that right.
Hours after being released from jail, a man walked through an emergency door at San Diego International Airport, onto the tarmac and sat down on a United Express plane Tuesday, according to San Diego authorities.

La, Chicago, more La, tab clearing
I've got a few minutes waiting on a phone call and I thought I'd clear out some tabs.
La is doing some mighty fine work. Their state legislators were apparently upset that they didn't make it to the Baldwin Top Ten. When it costs as much as it does for a CCW and takes forever to get one, you lose points, me personally, I don't have one because I don't need one, or want one, but the fine citizens over in Louisiana that do want one have to wait, and wait, and wait and when I was doing the scoring for the Baldwin Top Ten gun friendly states, this cost the state 10 or 15 points, I forget. Anyway, SB 303 has passed committee, the House, the Senate, another committee and it looks like it is headed to the Ballot for the good people of Louisiana to vote on it. For those that don't know, SB 303 is a Constitutional amendment that declares that the right to own, purchase, possess, use, transport, etc. is a fundamental right and any laws prohibiting these rights must pass strict scrutiny.
Chicago has finally realized that they have a gang problem. Yes, those thugs that are criminals that don't register their firearms with the local government seem to be a problem.
What do they plan on doing about it?
1. Gather intelligence on gang activity.
2. Rid the city of liquor
3. Rid the streets of guns.
I'm sure by "ridding the streets of guns" he's talking about increasing the fees to register firearms, or for a gun owner to possess TWO separate firearm owner cards, because, you know, all the street gangs these days are registering their firearms.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy noted:
So, the other 96% must the law abiding citizens that actually adhere to the law, and the ones that are punished by having to abide by the strict gun control laws.
Heading back to Louisiana, some ass wipe introduced a bill that would make it a crime to discharge a firearm within a 1000 feet of a residence in unincorporated areas of the state. Yes, it would have been against the law to target practice in your own back yard. The bill got struck down, but this is what the anti's mean when they talk about stronger laws, they mean MORE laws. You see, La already has a law that makes it a Felony to discharge a firearm (or do anything with anything) when it's foreseeable that it may result in death or great bodily harm to a human. You can find that in La RS 14:94(a). You see, it's already against the law to discharge a firearm when it's dangerous to other people, but MORE laws would make it even more illegaler. Well, not quite, because HB 204 would make it a misdemeanor.
I have a gun range on my ranch. It's set up near the house, but we fire away from the home (I don't want to be shooting toward my home, do I?). A law like this would make that a crime. I suppose they'd prefer someone in my situation fire toward the home. Dumbasses.
Still no phone call, but that's all I've got for now. What do you think about the LA law?

What do they plan on doing about it?
On Tuesday, Emanuel and McCarthy outlined their strategy for dealing with Chicago’s gun violence — including improved intelligence on gang activity, increased efforts to rid communities of the “cancer” of liquor stores where much of the violence occurs, and ridding the streets of guns responsible for so much of that violence.
1. Gather intelligence on gang activity.
2. Rid the city of liquor
3. Rid the streets of guns.
I'm sure by "ridding the streets of guns" he's talking about increasing the fees to register firearms, or for a gun owner to possess TWO separate firearm owner cards, because, you know, all the street gangs these days are registering their firearms.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy noted:
70-80 percent of the shootings are gang related and that “4 percent of the population drives 90 percent of the violence in the city.”
So, the other 96% must the law abiding citizens that actually adhere to the law, and the ones that are punished by having to abide by the strict gun control laws.

Another anti gun blogger, more lies
So, some nasty jack something another has a blog, and seems to be in some three way partnership with Joan Peters and Baldr O(something) for promoting each other's blogs. In the event you didn't know, Joan and Baldr are gun haters and anti-rights enthusiasts.
Back to nasty jack. Nasty (as I'm sure his fiends call him) wrote a post bashing the NRA so this let's us know his position on gun ownership as well. In his post he Lies when he says this:

Wayne LaPierre has served as the NRA head since 1991 and during his reign has produced the loosest gun laws ever enacted in the U.S., perhaps the world, which have resulted in a rapid increase in gun deaths.

More TSA Rat Bastard Asshattery
I hate the TSA. This agency is an abomination to the 4th Amendment. They're clueless, worthless, and useless. Dumbasses.
We've all heard or read about the TSA storing millions of dollars worth of useless equipment, but apparently they're not happy with having equipment just sitting around in warehouses, now they want to spend another $3M on toys such as Ipods, Iphones, and Ipads. I wonder if someone within the TSA is related to an apple store owner.
John Pistole changed screening for children under 12 last fall so they could leave shoes on and avoid, in most cases, invasive pat downs, but then hires a Catholic priest who was removed from the ministry over sex abuse allegations. Yeah, that'll make it easier on the kids.
Of course, TSA Rat Bastards don't limit their groping to the kids, they like to feel up cancer survivors and make them remove their prosthetic breast, while standing in line. Dumbass Rat Bastards.
When asked what the problem is, Pistole agreed that it's a lack of training. No, Dumbass, it's because the entire agency has their heads up their asses, oh, and they hire sex offenders who like to feel up kids, and grandmas, and Congressmen, oh, and kids. Dumbasses
Let's go back to private security and shut down this dumbass agency.

What about the homeless and 2A rights
In DC v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Court ruled that the protections of the Second Amendment also apply to the states.
What about the homeless?

Alaska, cars used in suicide more often than reported
The original title of this post was "Analysis of VPC's Car deaths V Gun deaths" but read on to see why it was changed.
The Violence Policy Center (VPC) has graced us with yet another 'study' (and a neat little graph) about motor vehicle deaths v firearm deaths and claim: Gun Deaths Outpace Motor Vehicle Deaths in 10 States in 2009 New Analysis Shows (I guess guns are still safer in the rest of the US)
2A proponents often bring up motor vehicle deaths when some anti-rights crybaby brings up the unintended deaths by firearms. These unintended deaths arise out from accidental and negligent discharges, whereas motor vehicle deaths arise from accidental and negligent motor vehicle crashes.
(very interesting graph after the jump)
