I heard it on Lars Larson’s show. Now, I hear it’s been reviled with a different title. Don’t know if the text differs.

Been refiled, though reviled applies.

“This trend to pussify America is not going to come to a happy end.”

The pussies expect others will actually ‘fight’ this battle for them, once the real fighting begins.

I can hear their wails now....

The homicide rate in the U.S. by year:

Both sites have good commentary.

Walter Knutson retired in 1997. The current pastor is Elizabeth Larsen (since 2009). This according to their website.

Mindless, meaningless Californication is quite popular with Liberals.

Symbol over substance goes down well with the brainless.

Cherry bombs are explosive munitions - I once won a contest to toss one in a bird bath to watch the water spray - water sprayed, little fishing boy fell off and rest of water drained through the big crack in the dish...belonged to a friend’s aunt who we were visiting and I hunted for 2 days to find the same model to replace it with.

60 years ago, we filled my dad's brand new big galvanized garbage can with water. We tied a cherry bomb to a rock, lit it, and dropped it into the water. A couple seconds later, there was a nice "whump" noise and the seam on the can was split open top to bottom. Dad was not happy.

Yeah - some of us managed to cause a few headaches as we "discovered" the fun of things that made loud noises.

When I discovered that with the old cars, if you revved the engine up then turned off the key, and turned it back on again just before it actually stopped, you'd get a nice backfire from the raw gas that had poured into the cylinders and then t the exhaust system - decide to 'go for it" with the '61 Chevy Bel Air and when it popped, the floor board dented up an inch and it sounded like I had lost the muffler - turned out it split the muffler seam wide open...It was a new muffler and it ate into my gas money to replace it....

You’re not trying if you don’t break it.

I guess we’re all going to have to change to belt fed weapons in order to obey the 10 round magazine law.

This initiative would ban virtually every semiautomatic pistol since all can take a magazine that holds more than ten rounds...

Residents who don’t get rid of or register their guns would be committing a felony.

This is very disturbing, to say the least.

Yep - in order to find the breaking point, you have to go that “little extra distance”....

They pulled it fir a quick rewrite, tightened up the language but it’s basically the same, only it’s IP 43 now, not IP 42.

Yes, you can keep them but they can only be used at authorized firing ranges, which means they can’t be used as CCW’s.

No Glock 26’s, no Shields, and pistol that accepts a high-cap nag will become illegal to own after 2019, and if owner prior and registered, it can’t be carried concealed...revolvers only.

And all your high cap mags must be registered, even though they don’t have individual serial numbers.

The cops also have to verify you’re storing them safely which seems to me you must let them inspect your safe and premises.

I wonder what Dennis Richardson’s office does when counting signatures. Probably just checks for duplicates and eligibility and totes the numbers up. I remember the weasel Bradbury would discount many signatures based on statistics to kill any initiative he disliked.

Oh, I know.

I was a professional petitioner for a couple of years and Bradbury would routinely discard hundreds of names for a duplicate signature.

What an evil man he was.

I was a volunteer for Dennis back in the day, he’s a great guy, I hope he runs for governor someday!

See ya’,

Ed

Katy Eyman, aka Mrs. Bill Bradbury, is running for Coos County Commissioner. She called in to a local radio program, hosted by the curmudgeonly Jim Bice, to introduce herself to his audience. She had a little spiel prepared about why she kept her father’s last name....he had only daughters, he was Speaker of the Oregon House. and she wanted to honor him. Jim said that all he really knew about her was that she was married to Bill Bradbury, and that he “is a piece of crap. always has been a piece of crap. and probably always would be a piece of crap. “
