“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Lego maintains that politeness should not appear to be child’s play (more at the link; emphasis added).

Lego-like toy gunA US gun maker has triggered controversy by selling a kit that makes a real Glock pistol look like a children’s Lego toy gun, at a time when hundreds of kids are falling victim to shootings.

The Danish manufacturer of the building blocks has sent the Utah-based company, Culper Precision, a demand to stop producing the red, blue and yellow covering for handguns.

“Our organisation reached out to Lego, which then sent a cease and desist letter to the reckless gun maker,” said Shannon Watts, founder of the group Moms Demand Action, which advocates for stricter gun controls.

This is truly twisted.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

Dan Patrice suggests that renting out the National Guard to the highest bidder is not a good thing. A snippet (emphasis added):

. . . Noem (South Dakota’s governor–ed.) originally declared that she was sending “up to 50” guardsfolk to Texas on her own authority to respond to a request from the governor of Texas all on the dime of a Republican megadonor. If privately funded commandeering of the armed forces to enforce Tucker Carlson’s fever dreams sounds like a dystopian nightmare, then you are paying the appropriate amount of attention.

Be polite on the practice range.

Witnesses at the (skeet shooting–ed.) gathering in the 36000 block of Stearns County Road 171 told deputies the juvenile was unloading a 20-guage pump-style shotgun when the firearm discharged, causing birdshot pellets to ricochet off the gravel road and hit a 4-year-old, 9-year-old and 67-year-old.

Making Memories 0

A Connecticut high school student added more memories to her yearbook, as well as got her portrait taken again–full-face and profile. Here’s a bit of the story:

Investigators charge that Hollister Tryon, 18, manipulated entries in the Glastonbury High School 2021 yearbook by “unlawfully accessing a computer database students used to submit their yearbook quotes.”

According to a Glastonbury Police Department report, school administrators in May “reported the discovery of an Adolf Hitler quote which was incorrectly attributed to George Floyd,” the Minnesota man killed last year by police.

We are a society of stupider.
