I find these sort of experiments quite interesting.
He was dead long before Mr. Zimmerman shot Mr. Martin.

When George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin the media portrayed it as an over zealous community watch man. We were shown kiddie pics, altered 911 logs and a lot more.
But then folks scoured the web and Martin started to look more like a thug. dealer, gangster, thief.
These text messages leave little doubt that the cute little boy was sadly dead a long time before Mr. Zimmerman shot Mr. Martin

Apparently, after not getting his way with the NYC taxi industry. Mr. Fascist exclaims his profanity laced intent to destroy their industry.
Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. B gets run over by a taxi in the near future.

Right to Print Arms continues to advance… 8 shots fired from a firearm printed on a budget 3D printer. Which could be afforded by the average middle-class individual.

Military mine sweeping dolphins discover antique “Howell torpedo” from late 1800s. Look at that beautiful brass gem. Only 50 or so were made. And apparently only one was known to exist.

A co-worker of mine is involved in an independent Western film. She said they’ve got a number of competitive shooters.
Check out the trailer. …
Rifle enables novices to hit targets 500 yards away. How?
You pull the trigger. But the gun doesn’t fire until it is on target. This eliminates two major accuracy problems. Poor trigger pull. Pre-emptive flinching.
Now I could see an issue with moving targets. But I definitely believe it’s a nifty innovation.

This White House has been horrible at transparency. In 2010, in more than a third of the requests for public records, the Obama administration didn’t provide any information. In fact, the administration has released fewer recordsunder the Freedom of Information Act than were released during the George W. Bush administration.

Wow…
How fame killed a football star and lost the NFL thousands of fans.
Look, I really don’t give a darn about football. Sometimes I enjoy. If I had to pick a team, it’d be the San Diego Chargers. But I couldn’t tell you much about them, not like my beloved Padres who I’ve remained a fan of 25 years after leaving San Diego.
So I’m givin you the outsider perspective. The NFL should of knocked some heads over the Jets handling of Tebow. The truth is, one can debate whether Tebow is a good, great, mediocre or crappy player. We may never reall know. But he was NOT a crappy player in college. And he did help the Broncos out.
Then comes the crux of the problem. The Tebowmania which has discouraged many teams from considering him. While simultaneously, you’ve to the Jets sabataging him by retaining Tebow until after the draft. When many teams have largely committed their capped budgets.
So who loses? Tebow? – yes. Tebow fans? – yes. But I’ll argue the biggest loser is the NFL. When Tebowmania was going on. I suddenly found myself reading about football. Learning about football. Crap, I even watched the Superbowl that year. Oh, might I add that many of my co-workers talked about football and Tebow. Let me add that these co-workers are H1B visa holders (immigrants working in America on short term visas). And yet they were being drawn in by it all.
Don’t you get it. Sure, Tebowmania was annoying for many. BUT…it was introducing new fans to the NFL. Folk who never gave football much time of day. And that, is something the NFL truly should be wanting – the growth of it’s fanbase.
I truly believe that the NFLs handling of this whole situation has cost them far more than it will ever cost Tebow.
But hey, what does this make me think of the NFL? You can praise and defend murderers, thugs, dog torturers, druggies, rapists…..but goodness gracious, one new dog gets too much attention and acts in a positive manner. And you guys can’t handle it. I’ll be straight up… the NFL is a bunch of “pussies”. Grow a bag and deal with his media attention. If Tebow sucks as much as the Jets want to claim as their reason for not using him. It will only take a season or two. And it will be Tebow’s fault.
In the end, I guess I should be glad for the NFL’s stupidity. After all, my wife would have likely grown quite perturbed with me had I actually started to get into watching football.
56% believe gun related crime is higher today than 20 years ago. Only 12% believe it’s lower.
In truth, the rate is nearly 50% lower in 2010 than 1993. And firearm related violent crime was 75% lower in 2011 than 1993.
I am pretty sure we can thank the mainstream left media for that discrepancy.

First off, today I noticed CNN.com implemented some newfangled commenting system. I really dislike the layout.
But then I stumble across a mostly pro-gun article on raising children in the home with guns. I am shocked, instead of finding one mediocre quasi-pro-gun statement followed by an entire article lambasting gun owners as crazy. I found a surprisingly delightful article featuring testimonials and insights from parents with small children.
