Great Satan, Inc.

Today’s Great Satan Inc. American Exceptionalism award goes to the US Navy Seals for rescuing the US captain that was held hostage by Somalian pirates this past week. We can’t thank our military enough for all that they do to keep us safe and free!

On a related note, one of our favorite blogs, Exurban League, wrote a sharp and witty parody about Obama reaching out to the ‘moderate’ pirate community that’s more than worth the read:

Obama Reaches Out to ‘Moderate’ Pirate Community

Thanks for making us laugh today, guys!

Here’s something the MSM has failed to mention so far about the incident in Pittsburgh today where 3 police officers were killed.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette made quick reference to the fact that the shooter, Richard Poplawski was dishonorably discharged from Marine Corps. basic training. The Department of Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms document TD ATF-391 states:

Section 922(g)(6) of the GCA makes it unlawful for persons who have
been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions to receive or possess firearms.

Richard Poplawski was a convicted felon, and could not have legally owned firearms. The guns that were used in Saturday’s shootings had to have been obtained illegally.

So, why is this important? Because the recent tragedies that have involved firearms could be the perfect excuse for the current administration to enact the “common sense” gun laws (meaning bans and restrictions on firearms for people who don’t commit felonies) that Obama has stated he favors.

Pennsylvania State and Federal firearms laws already in place, as well as any future gun laws would not have stopped this horrible occurrence today because Poplawski broke several of these laws in order to commit his heinous crimes. Only the responsible, law-abiding gun owner will be effected by more gun bans and restrictions, while the criminals will enjoy a climate where they can produce more victims.

Ed. Note: We are very saddened today by the events that occurred in Pittsburgh. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. This article is not meant in any way to condone or justify Mr. Poplawski’s actions, which we find abhorrent. It is our hope that he is severely punished in our world, as well as the next.
