Don't do it Vik

Ha ha, I'm good.

People usually don't die from snorting that crap--it's that elephant tranquilizer that's knocking them down like pedestrians before peace trucks. I wonder if there's anything the federal government can do to keep carfentanil on the right side of our borders without being all racist and shit.

Doubt it. Takes like a microgram to kill someone. Chinese bring it in by the boat load.

Duterte protocol.

It's on the trajectory to having no Blue States at all, just Blue Cities, with a huge popular majority, which can't actually win elections.

Actually some Democrat made that observation in like 2015. There are no Blue states, there are Red States with tremendous blue cities that pull them in.

Opioids are a BFD here. I think the joke is the EMTs call themselves mobile Narcan dispensers.

New NRA ad here



Motherjones kvetching here

The National Rifle Association released a new election ad today attacking Question 3 on Maine’s November ballot, which would require background checks on most transfers of guns between owners.

The NRA’s ad points out that former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, now a prominent gun control activist and the founder of Everytown for Gun Safety, “is spending $3 million to try and boss Mainers around with Question 3.” The ad opens with a view of a city skyline and the words “The New Yorkers” emblazoned below it. The narrator intones: “The New Yorkers are here and they’re trying to tell Mainers how to live.” There’s just one problem: The skyline in this ad is most definitely San Francisco’s, not New York’s.

Tragedy or natural selection?

I'm calling bs. She's pregnant and psycho and probably thought he was cheating on her so she's like "lol whoops it was just a stunt!" Only a dumb broad will think a book will even remotely stop a .50 cal even though it was a handgun. Those things punch through vault doors that's, presumably, why people buy handguns in that ridiculous caliber.

Tragedy.

Probably because we don't teach our citizens anything about firearms:

County Attorney James Brue described the book as a hardcover encyclopaedia, and said the weapon used was a .50-calibre Desert Eagle handgun.

Anyone who understands what a .50 cal round is, knows damn well you're not going to stop it with a book.
Jeez.

We'd wrap out M113's in books if that worked.
As is, a .50 cal can tear right through on of them.
