Data Dump

For all of the stuff that a number of people, including me, wrote that critized the way that the Boston cops handled the search for the Brothers Kablamazov*, I've only see one writer mention what the Hub cops did right:

They didn't spray everything that moved with bullets. Even when two of their own were shot (one fatally), the cops only shot at things that needed shooting. Unlike the LAPD and the other cops in California, who transformed the streets into free-fire zones.

The WaPo reports this morning what I said days ago: Those who are wondering why the American people aren't frothing like Joe Biden over the defeat of the background checks bill have misread the situation.

So Max Baucus is stepping down. Meh. The seat will likely flip, that is, if the GOP primary voters can restrain, for once, their impulses to nominate people who are unelectable by anyone with a GAF Fuctioning Scale score above 20.

Reloaders, better start burning up the phones to your Congresscritters. Thanks to the Brothers Kablamazov, they are now coming for you.

  1. I'd almost be willing to go thru a background check if they would Guarantee me some; Unique, 2400 and IMR 3031. Along with Federal Primers. I'd be happy camper again.
    Nothing like a tight crimp on a heavy .357 bullet and a case full of 2400 to get your day going.

  2. No one ever validated what that 90% meant, but from the response it was
    both many didn't understand there were already check and the rest noticed
    it was contemptible and corrupt.

    Like so many laws many never read it and even fewer had a clue what they
    really wanted.

  3. Yep, you're exactly right, dammit... And Eck is right, that was a skewed poll to start with...

  4. Not the only person who noticed what the Boston-area cops did right. Bryan at Why Now did too. About the only mistake they made was missing the kid in the boat, but that's where civilian eyes come in -- cops can't see everything, after all.
