Video: Second Amendment porn!
posted at 8:15 pm on February 23, 2007 by Allahpundit
Noah Schachtman sends this along as a sort of housewarming gift to himself: he’s all moved in to his new digs at Danger Room, the defense tech blog he’s editing for Wired Magazine, and wanted to let us know that they’re already piling up posts and video.
I recommend this entry by a hazmat expert on the chlorine gas attacks in Baghdad. They’re like dirty bombs, it seems, in that they’re not terribly lethal but terribly frightening, and will usually require evacuating hundreds of people and emergency room treatment at hospitals that are already overwhelmed. Quote:
So chlorine might not be a weapon of mass destruction, but it sure as hell is a weapon of mass effect. A large release done the right way can send a city reeling. The use of chlorine as a weapon indicates to me that the insurgents are adapting and upping the ante. Imagine living in a city where there are explosions, shootings, and mayhem every day of the week. Now, add poison gas to the mixture. Life in Baghdad sucks worse everyday.
If I were a planner in Baghdad right now, I’d get smart on hazmat in a hurry because I’m guessing that this is just the beginning.

Almost makes me wish I owned a gun.

allah, are you taping o’reilly? something about kid porn and the aclu just aired?
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 8:36 PM
Ah, who am I kidding?
The only thing I’d shoot would be my own foot.
Slublog on February 23, 2007 at 8:38 PM
Now my wife wants to know why I’m so chipper this evening.
Limerick on February 23, 2007 at 8:40 PM
I gaurentee if you owned a gun, you would never shoot your foot. Someone else’s foot, maybe, never your own. Most unexplained self shootings hit the user in the leg, usually a saftey issue( as in the switch not the state of mind)
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 8:41 PM
slu,
is your blog dead? i click it and get the dreaded error message.
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 8:43 PM
Allah, you’re my hero.
infidel4life on February 23, 2007 at 8:45 PM
Heh. My aim is too bad for that. A couple of months ago, I got out and shot at skeet.
Not “shot skeet,” mind you. Shot “at” skeet.
Didn’t hit a one.
Slublog on February 23, 2007 at 8:47 PM
were you using a shotgun? tough to miss with the ‘shot’
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Huh. Seems to be working okay for me. Maybe it is time to pay that broadband/domain registration bill, though…
Slublog on February 23, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Speaking of interesting blog news Allah, why do I have to find out from NRO’s Media blog that Bosslady and KP are gonna have their own show on Fox Sunday night? You got any good exclusive details?
The Apologist on February 23, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Umm, what’s with the woman in the bikini rising at the end of all the blow ‘em up stuff?? I maybe don’t want to know the meaning …
laelaps on February 23, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Um…maybe?

ACLU Chapter President:
Federal agents arrested Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU, Friday in Arlington for allegedly possessing child pornography.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by ABC News, Rust-Tierney allegedly used his e-mail address and credit card to subscribe to and access a child pornography website.
…
The videos described in the complaint depict graphic forcible intercourse with prepubescent females. One if the girls is described in court documents as being “seen and heard crying”, another is described as being “bound by rope.”
…
Rust Tierney coaches various youth sports teams in and around Arlington, Virginia, according to court documents.
In the past, Rust-Tierney had argued against restricting Internet access in public libraries in Virginia, writing, “Recognizing that individuals will continue to behave responsibly and appropriately while in the library, the default should be maximum, unrestricted access to the valuable resources of the Internet.”

Rats, hate when I forget the link.

Well….I know a fella….shot himself three times with the same bullet. All accidental like…..one bullet, three entrance wounds, three exit wounds. We all still have a good chuckle at the bar over that.
Limerick on February 23, 2007 at 8:58 PM
Limerick….I bet the foot wasn’t the first entry wound.
Unfortunate soul…but fortunate he didn’t hit the, the, the, you know that thing that carries the blood, can’t think of it.
Damn you Bud!!!!
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 9:00 PM
He was playing quick draw in the mirror. Had a M1911 .45 strapped to his leg. One round in the chamber. Hammer back.
Real smart this fella was. When he was finished playing Marshall Dillion he plopped down in a chair, crossing his left leg behind his right. When his butt hit the chair the weapon discharged. Bullet when in his left calf, out his left shin, in his right calf, out his right shin, took a downward angle, entered his right foot and exited the bottom of his foot into the floor.
The fella limps a little.

This is the error I get. (using Firefox2.0 on OSX 10.4)
412 Error.
spmat on February 23, 2007 at 9:08 PM
Wow!!!!
Never be that careless. Wow! I treat weapons as such, weapons.
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 9:09 PM
BTW, loved the gun porn, AP. More please.
spmat on February 23, 2007 at 9:10 PM
We don’t let him go hunting with us.
Limerick on February 23, 2007 at 9:14 PM
spmat – that’s odd. When I click my name/link, I get the same thing, but when I access it via typing it out or a bookmark, it works fine.
Slublog on February 23, 2007 at 9:18 PM
slu, same thing, i got your site from typing, but not through the link.
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 9:20 PM
has everyone seen ‘bringing paxil back’?

wow, allah cleared my post
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 9:48 PM
I have no clue, slublog.I have a better clue, but don’t know what kind of black magic is happening server-side for you.I have no clue, slublog. I tried it on Safari:- clicked link, got error 412
- typed it in, it loaded correctly
- clicked link again, loaded correctly
- cleared history, clicked link, loaded correctly
- cleared cookies, clicked link, got error 412- tried again to replicate, could not get it to replicate
Something to do with cookies that maybe your provider is expecting? Have no idea why typing in the address would help. DNS voodoo?*sigh*
You have gremlins, slu. I’m sorry. There’s nothing that can be done about it.
spmat on February 23, 2007 at 10:10 PM
Same thing here. about slublog working and then not working. Because it is having a problem with clicking a link to get to you, I would rem . . .woah, old school. . I mean comment out any code that has to do with checking referers/referals. Typing out a link does not pass info to the server that link clicking does.

I can click on slublog’s name and it takes me straight there. I must be special.
wytammic on February 23, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Mine, too, I need a smoke…..
By the way,
Probably was distracted……. I wasted part of my life reviewing it, I don’t suggest anyone else does.
PinkyBigglesworth on February 23, 2007 at 10:23 PM
Nice. I especially liked the spray paint.
Tanya on February 23, 2007 at 10:24 PM
Regarding
“sunny,”
Maybe this explains why so many aligned with the ACLU side with keeping these things legal and unrestricted.
Maybe this is why the ACLU aligns themselves with such offenses.
Maybe those who fight for this “freedom” are actually doing so because they don’t wish to be “found out” and they don’t wish to have to be arrested for their “private” behavior.
It would be interesting to see what an investigation turns up regarding the percentage of ACLU operatives engaged in this sort of thing, and to which extent they are engaged.

William2006 on February 23, 2007 at 10:52 PM
I would agree, but an investigation of the ACLU will never take place. This subhuman will be prosecuted with the least amount of MSM coverage that is possible. Onle ABC does not means the 6:30 news will cover it
sunny on February 23, 2007 at 11:04 PM
PIMF if there was one

This video reminded me of something that Penn & Teller covered in the episode of BS that ripped Truthers all the way back to the JFK assassination. People who are ignorant of physics say that the head goes the wrong way for Oswald to have fired the shot. But look at how many objects reacted:
The bullet makes a small entry wound, and a large exit wound, from which issues a large amount of mass. Like a rocket, this propels the object back toward the shooter.
But why let actual science get in the way of Truthiness?
The Monster on February 24, 2007 at 12:10 AM
WooooooooooHooooooooooooo! That was GREAT, AP! Of course you know, now I’m gonna have to bookmark Danger Room… Just what I needed, another blog to eat up precious Rome: Total War time. At this rate, y’all are going to make a useful informed citizen out of me! Shame on you.
On the flip side, now I REALLY can’t wait for the weather to warm up. My Garand is looking neglected.
Militant Bibliophile on February 24, 2007 at 1:25 AM
Watch it again. If the entry wound causes enough fractures – more fratures than the exit – there will be a blow-out toward the shooter. If not, then the exit wound will most likely be the big one. The mystery of whether JFK’s skull was one or the other will never be solved.
laelaps on February 24, 2007 at 2:17 AM
Slu-
It’s not people like you, that think they might shoot themselves in the foot, that shoot themselves in the foot. It’s careless people that play fast draw with a round in the chamber that shoot themselves in the foot and the calf and the shin and the other calf and the other shin.
My Mother can be as scatter brained as anyone I’ve ever known but at 62 she can walk a can down the range with her .357 and has never had an AD or any kind of accident, because she knows her own limitations and keeps them in mind.
It’s like I always tell people that are afraid of guns and other potentially dangerous things/activities. “you are exactly the kind of person that I’d rather have doing/using this”
TBinSTL on February 24, 2007 at 5:01 AM
Nifty shooting. The tomato juice and blue spray paint were my favorites. What was the end suppose to represent. First a woman shaking water out of her hair, then a hammer smashing an apple. Is this some sort of reference to Adam and Eve? Kinda weird. Explosives get the same effect, that is small stuff like M-80s. Bring back Second City TVs celebrity blow up. They blowed up real Good!

The west wasn’t won with a registered gun.

Tanya on February 23, 2007 at 10:24 PM
I had a spray paint can caught under the mower deck when I engaged the blades last summer. It did almost the same thing.
What was Jason doing firing the auto rifle? Didn’t he get killed in the final episode?
TugboatPhil on February 24, 2007 at 10:07 AM
I’m not really afraid of guns, just extremely inexperienced with them. I’ve fired a few, especially when I was in high school ROTC – M16, M60 (yes, that was all sorts of awesome). Outside of the ROTC range, I’ve shot both 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, a .38 pistol, a couple of 30-30s and some .22s. My favorite was a black powder rifle that my father-in-law made.
So I’ve shot a variety of weapons, just not for any consistent amount of time. I’ve thought about going to take a gun safety course, as they’re plentiful up here in Maine, but haven’t quite found the time.
So guns, to me, are still a bit intimidating.
Slublog on February 24, 2007 at 10:08 AM
I thought I’d come up with the term “gun porn” after recently watching the DVD of the Dawn of the Dead remake.
Director fond of slo-mo meets gun shop owner barricaded in his own well-stocked shop by hordes of zombies… ’nuff said.
saint kansas on February 24, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Fast-moving zombies, too. The only kind.
Slublog on February 24, 2007 at 11:18 AM
My favorite part was the can of red paint exploding. Yah baby! I can see the hazmat guys with their radios now getting their panties all in a knot over that.
‘C mon. We’d miss out on the whole global warming hysteria for the next couple years. Then it will run it’s “product cycle” and there’ll be a different part of the sky falling.
Mojave Mark on February 24, 2007 at 11:27 AM
How long before YouTube pulls the video for violent content?
Valiant on February 24, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Out F#@#n standing!
CBarker on February 24, 2007 at 11:33 AM
I was rather put off by the ending. At first I was like “hey, girl in bikini!” then I was suddenly afraid she was going to get shot in slow motion.
I guess they were just showing off their camera and its ability to show droplets in detail at high speed, thus the crushing-berries-with-a-hammer thing. Or maybe that was just for the benefits of feminist viewers who may have otherwise felt alienated by the video.
see-dubya on February 24, 2007 at 1:02 PM
Gun porn=YEAH!!! It’s what sets this great country apart from the rest of the liberal/communist/socialist world. Carry on….
Volpe on February 24, 2007 at 1:16 PM
In over 25 years of reviewing published safety reports involving on- and off-duty military members, a single event occurs numerous times each year. Shot him(her)self in the foot(leg) while cleaning a weapon appears in the initial medical report. Small amounts of investigation almost always determine that the perpetrator/victim was “practicing their quickdraw” ala Limerick’s story, and pulled the trigger before getting the gun clear of the holster.
Firearms are made to put holes in things. Treat one like a toy, and you can all too easily turn out to be your own target.
Treat them properly, and they save more lives and property than they cost.
Freelancer on February 24, 2007 at 1:54 PM
Freelancer…..
This ‘smart’ fella I spoke of….he was a friggin Military Policeman.
Limerick on February 24, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Just as a side note, Carolyn McCarthy has reintroduced the “assault weapons” ban, this time to include common rifles such as the Ruger 10/22 rifle.
Ironically enough, the bill is HR1022
It is in the judiciary now, and passage is expected in the house.
Get your Ar/AK rifles while you can. The RINO parade isn’t going to stop it.
quax1 on February 25, 2007 at 8:44 AM
I can’t figure out if this video is suppose to be in support of, or against the Second Amendment.
