More examples I would use in that 9th grade social studies class of mine.

Here are 2 examples of photos+captions from mainstream media.  Do they represent truth?  If not, why not?

Seen at gadget.boingboing.net, these guys will allegedly stop snake bites, and 00-buck at 20 yards.

This story has been making the rounds a bit (link here to Wasington Post).  Happy 1 year anniversary of the court decision that support this crap.

( Story, details at: howstuffworks.com)

Short summary:  Without suspicion or cause, at the border DHS can seize pretty much any electronic gizmo you have and search it for signs of illegal activity.  Of course, liking firearms might mean you have “militia propaganda” on your computer.  Just something to keep in mind.

Bad news guys. The ammunition ban bill has passed out of the appropriations committee to a full senate floor vote. This bill will almost certainly pass the full senate and end up on the governors desk. Write your senator andgovernor very soon and tell them to oppose this bill.

I find it sad the cowardly tactic this bills sponsors have used to get this bill through committee votes at the last minute at almost every stage. Hopefully the governor will have the backbone to veto this bill when it slinks onto his desk.

This is just a burden to legal gun owners.  Please contact all of our state senators, here is a link to all the CA State Senators.    P.S., if you purchase a lot of ammo, the state will probably assume you are illegally reselling and use that as probable cause to charge you with a crime and certainly search all your possessions — over, and over again.

Make them from Birdshot!

Over at TheFireArm blog, there is a nice story about how you can convert your birdshot shells into slug shells.  Just seems a little handy bit of knowledge worthwhile to have under your hat in case all you have access to is bird shot.

Start	Finish

Looks pretty easy… Mostly you just need a mold and a ladle and a source of heat.

If I were a 9th grade teacher I would use this as an example.

Regarding the story we posted about the 72 year old that shot at 4 suspects during an attack.

Here is the MSNBC story we already posted.

Compare that to:

This NY Post Story.

New York Times Story

Planting evidence at a crime scene is a scenario you often see in the movies and hear about in real life.  Guns and drugs are planted on innocent people so crooked cops can arrest them; fingerprints planted covertly on a glass to frame someone for a crime, etc.  The list of B-movie scenarios is endless and include planting DNA evidence.

Nucleix, a company in Israel is hoping to sell a product that can distinguish real DNA from DNA in fabricated samples.  To prove how easy it is fabricate a DNA sample they took a woman’s blood and separated out the DNA containing white blood cells from the red blood cells and replaced them with white blood cells from a man.  The sample was submitted to a lab which analyzed it as if it were a normal mans blood sample.  They also constructed a library of the 425 DNA markers used to distinguish individuals.  By adding a combination of these markers to a body fluid sample they could mimic anyone’s DNA profile.

I find the whole thing interesting, but way too complicated for an average criminal.  If  an organization is bent on framing someone for a crime it may be possible.

Wow.  DON’T FOLLOW THESE LINKS YET, but,   GunPundit found a beauty of a story. over at MSNBC.

Here is the first part of the story…  Read this first.

2 suspects dead, 2 injured after 72-year-old opens fire in New York City

NEW YORK – The sidewalk outside the Harlem store still was smeared with blood Friday, and the glass on the door still was blown out.

Above the entrance, someone had scribbled the words, “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”

Less than 24 hours after a deadly showdown at the shop worthy of a Clint Eastwood script, Charles “Gus” Augusto Jr. entered his store — oblivious of the inscription taken from Dante’s “Inferno.”

We all learned in pre-jr. high that the first 3 paragraphs pretty much tell the story.  What do you think the horrible details are in this tragedy?  Form an idea in your mind.  Then read the story at MSNBC and Gunpundit’s analysis of it.  Now ask, what do you know of your world and how much of what you know is shaped and decided by media bias.  Reporting is truly dead.

For that matter.  NY is really becoming a great place to live. Consider the story.

• criminals (armed) come in demanding money
• criminals pistol whip an employee
• 72 year old(!) owner uses shotgun in defense
• community in outrage
• shotgun was confiscated (illegal no doubt)

GunPundit has this right…

“If the bad guys had pistol-whipped everyone and gotten away clean with a few bucks, there would have been little or no new coverage. Little or no hand-wringing over “a sad day.” Little or no “mixed reaction.” Criminals pull this shit all the time every day.“
