Paul Harrell: Defense Against the Christmas Menace
BY Herschel Smith
Occasionally, something so good passes my way that I must share it for the sake of humor. Something makes me wonder if the boi has ever worked on a machine of any kind. He really should go volunteer at a farm and work on tractors, trucks, machines, etc.
Good Lord, what an effeminate clique of little bois America has raised.

I offer this up without commentary. The YouTube comments are everything I’d hoped they would be. Enjoy.
Two passengers were arrested Monday in Newark Airport after Transportation Security Administration officers caught an assault rifle with a high-powered magazine and an arsenal of ammunition — all illegal in the state — “artfully concealed” behind the lining of a suitcase.
I want a high-powered magazine. How has life taken me this far in the gun world without knowing about high-powered magazines?

Not critics, but critic. One of them. What, you mean to tell me that Yankee “I believe in love, massive utopia, rainbows and pixie dust from purple unicorn farts” Marshal is an ignoramus?
Does anybody really watch that guy’s hysterical, emotional, over-dramatized crap?
A Florida man allegedly tried to blame a weapons bust on John Wick, the legendary assassin played by Keanu Reeves in the eponymous movie franchise, according to a new report.
Cops confronted Getro Gelin, 27, at his Port St. Lucie home Sunday after a woman told police he shoved her to the ground and threatened her with a firearm, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun.
The woman told authorities Gelin may have stashed the weapon in his Porsche SUV, according to the report. Cops searched the vehicle and found a Glock 21 pistol, a semi-automatic rifle, and a bulletproof vest, according to the report.
When cops asked Gelin to explain, he explained that the SUV wasn’t even his anymore — he’d sold it “to his cousin John Wick,” according to the affidavit.
Hey, I thought Wirecutter had the market cornered on Florida man. Anyway, given Wick’s job description, it might not have helped all that much if the cops had believed him.
Biden made the remarks on the campaign trail in New Hampshire while talking about why kids learn active shooter drills in school, saying, “because we’re unwilling to have a rational policy that says you cannot have 20, 30, 40, 50 clips in a weapon.”
What an extraordinary gift he is, the gift that just keeps on giving like the Everyready Energizer Bunny. The random thinker gaffe-o-matic. Pull a string, get a gaffe. Push a button, get a blooper.
To be fair, I wouldn’t want to try to force 20, 30, 40, 50 clips in a single weapon. If I tried something like that I’d probably tear it up pretty badly and have to take it down to the gunsmith to undo what I did. And it would be embarrassing.

From the comments.
So is there anyone good with Photoshop and meme-making that can give me this:
Blackface Governor Ralphie ‘Kill Babies Give Me Your Guns’ Northam?
With a picture of him in blackface?
Grabbing for guns?
He should be shamed.
I’ve never worn blackface, and didn’t even know what it was until the MSM began covering it.
Someone?
Via Len Savage, what a brilliant idea! Tupperware parties for men. Just think of the possibilities. 5.56mm in one box, 6.5mm Creedmoor in another, .45 ACP in yet another.
More than half of the people who were perpetrators or victims of gun violence in Milwaukee in recent years had elevated blood lead levels as children, according to a study released Friday by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The study of nearly 90,000 residents, conducted at the University’s Joseph J. Zilber School of Public Health, suggests a link between early childhood lead exposure and gun violence in later years.
Lindsay R. Emer, the study’s lead author, said it was conducted using public health, education and criminal justice data.
After reviewing the records of 89,129 people who were born in Milwaukee between June 1, 1986, and Dec. 31, 2003, and given blood lead tests before the age of 6, Emer and other researchers found a correlation between elevated blood lead levels and the risk of being involved in gun violence.
Emer said that while the study was not able to definitively prove cause and effect, the link is striking:
According to their findings, 56% of the shooters and 51% of the victims were found to have blood lead levels equal to or greater than the recommended limit of lead exposure of 5 micrograms per deciliter.
The study originated from a dissertation Emer started she while still a doctoral student at UWM.
Since then, she has earned and defended her Ph.D., worked with the Medical College of Wisconsin and is currently a senior research consultant at the National Center for State Court.
The publication of her study, “Association of childhood blood lead levels with firearm violence perpetration and victimization in Milwaukee,” is a culmination of years of work.
Then there’s that whole issue of connecting correlation with causation. But why nits? Just accept it, yes? After all, it showing what the authors call a “striking link.” And, best of all, it answers that age old American question “Why do inner city folk engage in violence against each other?”
Some of the comments show what people tend to think about crap like this.
In the 1950’s and earlier, the world was LOADED with lead. Lead paint, lead used in auto body repairs, leaded gasoline, lead toy soldiers, lead window sash weights, lead solder, lead pipes, etc.
And no school shootings.
[ … ]
Just a smidgen of Bayesian probability would go a long way here. They are studying that, GIVEN that someone is a mass shooter, did they have elevated lead levels.
What they SHOULD be studying is that GIVEN they had elevated lead levels, are they a mass shooter/ The numbers here will be staggeringly low.
But I guess numeracy is much too much to ask for.
She wasted her time in college. But of course, that’s what a lot of people do with college when they get caught up with social justice issues. That and throw their money away. It’s a bit surprising that the university faculty would approve this dissertation. How embarrassing for them.
