So Before They Release It...

...do we yell "Pull"?

Psychotic Killer Gun Stalked Streets of Hartford...

...in search of new blood. Thank God they stopped it before it claimed yet another victim.

Maybe it came from the New Orleans PD.

Meanwhile, South Park Pundit can't even get his gun to hold a decent conversation.

Just Let Me See If I've Got This Straight...

Schoolchildren in the UK are too young to handle the teacher's pen, but not too young to handle the teacher's pen...

Never mind.

The Big Sleazy

A former New Orleans police officer who resigned from the force after being accused of abandoning his post during the Hurricane Katrina crisis was arrested while driving a stolen truck, authorities said...Bickham, who has family in Houston, could also face weapons charges: He had a pistol issued by the New Orleans department, McDuell said.

So the NOPD was out stealing guns from citizens and they can't account for guns stolen from their department? How many NOPD guns are still out there in the hands of AWOL thugs? What effort is being made to account for and retrieve them? And why are these questions being asked on a lowly blog instead of by the official government-recognized watchdog press?

I love it--New Orleans was at the forefront of suing gun manufacturers--and here they can't control distribution of firearms entrusted to their own police department. These corrupt Third World goons would be laughable in their incompetence if they didn't have the power to destroy lives.

Best Of All, NRA Did Not Object To It

Under the new law, any individual against whom a PFA order has been issued may be ordered to surrender all firearms. The weapons may be sold to a consignment shop or turned over to the local sheriff or a third party for safekeeping...True said the bill had 138 co-sponsors in the state House, including legislators from both sides of the gun-control debate. Best of all, she said, was that while the National Rifle Association did not vocally support her bill, it did not object to it.

"That's just as good," she said.

All without being convicted of a damn thing. And we all know a vengeful ex would never make false accusations.

I can't even find mention of the bill on the ILA site.

Why the hell not?

How Pizza Hut's "No Guns" Policy Pans Out

Police in Casselberry, Fla., are searching for two men who stormed into a Pizza Hut and pistol-whipped a manager during a robbery of the business...During the robbery, employees of the restaurant locked themselves in a large walk-in freezer to escape the attackers... The store manager, who remained outside the freezer, met the demands of the two men and apparently gave them an undisclosed amount of money before he was pistol-whipped and beaten.

Free people reduced to hiding in a freezer, getting pistol-whipped after complying with demands...but I thought the Brady's advised us not to resist. They also advised us that widespread carrying of firearms by average citizens would turn Florida into Dodge City, and their latest pathetic attention-seeking stunts protesting the "stand your ground" law at airports had some believing the slightest perceived slight would be met with execution.

So why didn't the Pizza Hut employees just open fire? Oh, just a little thing called "company policy." Apparently, they've been conditioned to think their jobs are more valuable than their lives and dignity.

Remember the story of the Pizza Hut delivery driver who defended himself against a robber and was fired for it?

A pizza delivery driver who fatally shot a man he said brandished a gun and tried to rob him was fired from his job...Pizza Hut spokeswoman, Patty Sullivan, confirmed that company policy includes a ban on carrying weapons.

Any bets on whether the silly spokeshole would change her tune and wish she had a gun if it was her precious life on the line?

It's not like we shouldn't expect this from Pizza Hut. After all, they don't respect the First Amendment, either. Plus, I can't stomach that greasy mass-produced garbage they pass off for nutrition.
