USA Yesterday

As you probably know, the Thune Amendment for national Conceal Carry Reciprocity didn't make the grade. It needed 60 Senator's votes to go forward and it got 58. Still, not bad. We'll get em next time.

Snowflakes in Hell found a LOVELY editorial about it in USA Today and he pointed out the idiocy.

"It makes no sense to make cities such as Los Angeles and Boston, which have significant urban crime, to conform to the politics of rural places."

Snowflake notced that quite a few cities HAVE plenty of CCW now.

Lessee, I, with the Utah out of state permit, can personally carry a conceal firearm, right now, in Cleveland, Philapelphia, Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Richmond, and many other so-called-by-USAToday 'rural' areas.

I wonder if the people of those cities know that USA Today thinks they are all a bunch of ingnernt cousin-humping hayseed yokels that probably have never seen a flush terlet or a stop light? Good thing USA Today doesn't sell any papers in those places, huh?

    I love the disconnect, too. Boston, which has some of the most draconian gun laws in the nation, is awash in so-called "gun crime".

    Why, it's almost like we need to control criminals, not inanimate objects!

    I wouldn't count Cleveland (AKA the Socialist Republic of Cuyahoga) on the list

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
