Friday Funny- See Erik Estrada get tasered

Published by Karl under Just for fun

Go ahead and look, you know you want to.  The others tasered are Jason Acuna (wee man from Jackass) and LaToya Jackson, all players on the reality show Armed and Famous.  I almost wish they had shown Jack Osbourne.

The gun show loophole myth

Published by Karl under guns

AndrewsDad, fellow NW Blogger, has a great post at NW Bloggers about the gun show loophole myth.

The Commentaters on KVI am 570 discussed this today, in the wake of the recent shooting at a Tacoma High School, and it is sure to be repeated ad naseum how we need stricter control of guns to curb this sort of senseless violence.  One of the hot button issues often reported (incorrectly as you will see) that gunshows are terrible black pit allowing criminals to bypass background checks and obtain weapons with which to committ their crimes.

So here is the truth of the gun show myth.

Originally posted at AndrewsDad on Oct. 24th 2006 

The Seattle P.I. had an article about Washington Ceasefire planting bulbs at Greenlake to commemorate the 600 victims of gun violence in Washington State this year.  It seems odd to me that a group can just go plant bulbs at a city park and I have a question into the Seattle Parks department asking about that but that is a post for another day.  What Washington Cease Fire does not say and what the "reporter", Neil Modie, does not seem interested in knowing is the fact that about 400 of those 600 deaths were suicides.
