The case for requiring gun licenses

Where Vox argues that a Constitutionally protected *right* should require a license. They argue that “licensing works.” Because… sure. Illinois, for example, has the FOID card system, where you need to have an expensive license to buy a gun. And to buy ammo. And to *hold* a gun. And if there;s anywhere that you think of when you think “boy, gun control sure makes people safe,” it’s Chicago.

Amazon spent half a billion dollars getting the right to and producing a Tolkein series. And as more information creeps out about it, the more it seems likely to be a mess. I’d *love* to see a fantastic series set in Numenor, with the designs of props, locations and character true to the source *and* coherent with the Peter Jackson films. I’d *love* to see a series set in Numenor that has intriguing characters and good plots. But it’s starting to look like what we’ll actually get is woke nonsense skewed towards raking in that sweet, sweet Chinese money. If that is indeed what happens… I hope that Amazon loses money on a vast unprecedented scale.

Just Some Guy rips some of the recent nonsense about trying to mangle what Tolkein clearly described.

From the color-value reversed Stormfront:

It Turns Out, All Those ‘Woke’ White Allies Were Lying

Right off the bat, consider that they seem surprised that “woke” anybody turned out to be shallow performative causeheads. The rest of us have known that for *decades.* But their real problem is this:

Recent polling numbers show that the support for Black Lives Matter has severely declined. …  However, white people’s support has declined to levels lower than they were a year ago.

The author seems to believe that the cause of a decline in trust in the BLM movement is that white people are inherently evil. Allow me to retort:

China builds infrastructure crappy from the get-go. the US builds good infrastructure but allows it to turn to crap because our “leaders” decide that “infrastructure” means plopping apartments into areas zoned for single-family houses because they’d rather people were packed into high density dependency than anything resembling independence. Example:

Kayaker’s photos show crack in closed I-40 bridge in 2016

A crack? Well that sounds a little worrying. A crack can be anything from cosmetic to potentially damaging. Let’s hope that it’s not too…

Nope.

That’s not a crack. That’s a COMPLETELY BROKEN STRUCTURAL ELEMENT.

At one point one of the thieves comes at the witness with a lit blowtorch. I’m pretty sure that in any civilized area this would be seen as adequate cause for the witness to pop a cap in his ass… but this is not only California but the Sacramento area. No right to defense of self or property should  be assumed there. Still… if the witness had, say, a can of hair spray and hosed down the thief, just so happening to blow the spray past that lit flame, one wonders what might have resulted, both from a rapid oxidation and a legal standpoint.

Switch around a few details in this story, and cities would go up in flames and the Federal government would bend over backwards to enforce new policies. As it is? It’s essentially non-news.
