That’s a fine non-feline thread pic, Mac; plumbers were hip-hop when hip-hop wasn’t cool. (And I’m not aware of them bitching about “cultural appropriation” by the hip-hop community.)
It’s a good approach on their end--background checks on ammunition sales--which will cost the consumer how much per sale? And it will cost the seller how much in record keeping?
He’ll get the signatures to get this abomination on the ballot and in California, it just might pass.
Here’s an invitation. Shut the hell up and come and take them. You can start at my house.
I’m getting kind of old now — well, oldish — and I don’t have the fire I used to. I just want to live a peaceful life in a peaceful place. I don’t care to get roused over every new crisis. I don’t like to fight. So I should be an easy target. Come to my house. Come and take my guns. See how it goes.
If that ballot measure passes, there will be a very brisk ammo black market in CA.
There’s no downside for the CA Dems re the ballot measure; if it passes, it’s a “mandate from the people” and the state government can’t be accused of being fascist goons. (Well, they can, but they’ll have the cover of “we serve the people of CA”.)
If it doesn’t pass, they have the option of trying another approach, or the legislature can simply act like the fascist goons we know them to be.
From the comments on the WaPo article:
Brilliant logic! I’m going to apply it to something that’s been bothering me.
The vast majority of rape involves a penis. I’m a responsible penis owner, therefore I shall go and cut my penis off thus rendering it useless.
Penis-chopping reference…heh!
Cheers for the Claire Wolfe link, too. Reading the comments there was somewhat comforting. 👿
Funny about that”mandate from the people” thing in California, cuz as I recall, the people voted to not allow gay marriage and the state just decided to ignore that one and actually refused ot defend it in court.
In California, “the people” have to be the right, er, left, sort of people in order to matter.
The Prop 8 business demonstrates the lawlessness which has become too prevalent in government at every level. (But then, the scumbuckets who make up the government believe they literally own us, or we would not have, for instance, a War on Drugs.)
Happy Caturday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa and Sven!
Mrs. Paddy, Teh Older, and I went to the DOE Solar Decathlon yesterday. It’s an event where teams of college students design and build energy-efficient homes, powered by solar arrays. The maximum allowable conditioned space is 1000 sq. ft., but there is no minimum and there is no maximum on the amount of outdoor space. They’re judged in ten categories, including architecture, engineering, efficiency, comfort, and livability. The students have to host a dinner party to demonstrate that their home is actually functional. Some homes are designed for specific locations and situations -- those are the ones I tend to enjoy the most. For example, one home was designed for the eastern shore, where hurricanes and floods can be a problem. The home was designed to withstand being flooded to a height of five feet. Each window had a lightweight, gasketed “storm plug” that locks in place to protect the windows and keep out water. Another was designed as a quick-response shelter after a tornado. After the initial response, three units can be joined together to make a permanent, tornado-proof home that generates more electricity than it uses.
Happy Caturday, GN!

Hi, Fatwa. And good morning GN!
Nasty weather the last couple of days north of LA in the high desert. Much rain, flooding, road closures, and leaky roofs.
Cali is right about that idiot Gavin Newsom. Why he’s turning to a ballot initiative when his party controls everything in California, I don’t know.
It’s a good approach on their end--background checks on ammunition sales--which will cost the consumer how much per sale? And it will cost the seller how much in record keeping?

Another fucking idiot:

This is for you, elitist scribblers.
