Guns and snakes don’t mix

It is often said that most people who fall victim to snakes get bitten while attempting to kill them.  Here’s another case where the snake beat someone trying to hunt it.
A woman was shot dead by her husband in Queensland this week while trying to flush out a brown snake that was hiding in […]

May the NRA follow him

Charlton Heston died yesterday. I wish no disrespect to him or his family but he was an advocate for a cause I find deeply offensive.  So, may the National Rifle Association die with him, and with it the indecently powerful gun lobby in America and the gun culture there.
Technorati tags: Charlton Heston, National Rifle Association, […]

Half right

Surprise, surprise! Another American gun massacre. I know, only 8 killed, so this one is only a minor blip, hardly even worth noticing for those that value gun rights above the rights of other citizens to live in a society that is not riddled with high powered weaponry available to each and every […]

Oh look, its happened again

Another day, another American gun massacre.
Some nut gets rejected by his girlfriend, so what is the natural thing to do?  Of course, go and get your assault rifle out of the car and shoot a few people to take out your frustrations. 
In Crandon, Wisconsin, 20 year old deputy sheriff Tyler Peterson fired more than […]

Another day, another American gun massacre

Woke up yesterday morning to the breaking news of the killings of 33 students and staff at Virginia Tech University.
Another lunatic gets pissed off with life and is able, because guns are so easily available, to take it out on many innocent people. Its a terrible tragedy for those affected, and no […]

Don’t bring your weapons to the voting booth

I was listening to the radio while out in the car driving today, and was amused by a comment on the East Timor election tomorrow where authorities have appealed to voters “not to bring weapons into or near voting places”. As you need to be reminded of course. We’d better remember this […]

What a man!

Funny way to get your rocks off, if you ask me.

US country singer Troy Lee Gentry pleaded guilty to illegal hunting charges in Minnesota. He shot, with a bow and arrow, a tame black bear called “Cubby”, the big game hunt taking place inside a 3 acre enclosure on a private property.
Prosecutors alleged that Gentry […]

CLASS is promoting the idea of a special day for shooters, arguing that gun ownership teaches individual responsibility and important life skills. According to its president, Peter Whelan:
“Gun ownership develops self-confidence […]

North Korea - the crazy state

North Korea, almost certainly the biggest pariah state in the world, took a giant leap forward to make itself even more so. It claims to have conducted an underground nuclear weapons test today - and seismic evidence seems to support this.
The test has been denounced by neighbours such as China, South Korea and Japan. China […]

Where else are schools so deadly?

What is it with the USA and the number of shootings at schools there? They are overtaking post offices as venues for mass murders.
Today’s execution of 5 schoolgirls in Pennsylvania follows hot on the heels of 2 other killings in schools in the last week. I can’t find a reference on line but on Sky […]
