Speaking of Nail Guns . . .

5

The montgomeryadvertiser.com nails it—except for that bit about threatening to “hit” the cop with the gun.

An Ider town councilman faces felony charges after authorities said he threatened a police officer with a staple gun.

James “Snuffy” Smith is charged with felony second-degree assault and disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors.

Town attorney Tommy French said Smith “had words” with Ider police officer Lee Harrison at Ider Town Hall sometime Thursday afternoon.

Harrison, a part time Ider officer, said that Smith shoved him and threatened to hit him with a staple gun.

Smith denies the assault.

Ider Mayor Brad Hannah said the matter is under investigation.

War on Terror Contractors Face PTSD

1

In 1984, U.S. defense contractor KBR hired Wade Dill for pest control and hazardous waste disposal duty in Iraq. Speaking to ProPublica, Dill’s wife Barb admitted that the ex-Marine was motivated by money. “He said this was our opportunity. He could start a college fund for our daughter, pay off the mortgage and have a nice retirement. He told me at his age, 41, he didn’t know if he had enough years left in him to give us what he wanted.” When Wade returned from his second stint in Iraq, the wheels came off the bus. “He abruptly quit his job and began acting erratically,” Barb Dill said. “He ripped the wiring out of appliances, smashed mirrors and poured lighter fluid on their furniture . . . After a few weeks, Wade took a room at a local motel. On July 15, he asked Barb to come see him. Their conversation spiraled into a confrontation. Frightened and angry, Barb sped off in her car. The next day, the Shasta County coroner’s office called to tell her that Wade’s body had been found in the room.” Dill had shot himself in the head with his 9mm handgun.

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Dexter’s Lab Edition

0

The Fresno Bee tells us that the [unnamed] hunter shot by his [named but not revealed] Labrador when the dog stepped on his gun (disengaging the safety, no less) “broke one of the cardinal rules of hunting safety.” Next time, let Fido stick his head out of the window if he really wants to? Nope. “You never leave a gun loaded when you’re not with it,” asserts Jeff Carroll, chairman of the California Waterfowl Association’s local chapter. “And that’s the end of the discussion.” Apparently not. “While rare, dog-shoots-hunter stories are not unheard of. In November 2008, an Oregon man was shot in the legs and buttocks when his dog jumped into his boat and set off his shotgun. In October 2007, an Iowa man was shot in the leg after setting down his shotgun to hop a fence. His dog stepped on the weapon and tripped the trigger.” Yeah, that’s what the dogs TOLD the hunters to say.

Utah to Feds: You Can’t Regulate Guns Made In-State

1

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Utah Governor Gary Herbert’s signed SB11: the Utah State-Made Firearms Protection Act. The bill tells the feds they have no regulatory power over firearms manufactured and sold in Utah. Not that the governor’s website or the Trib are saying so in as many words. Both somehow manage to avoid quoting the legislation—a reticence that The Truth About Guns doesn’t share. “(13) Congress’s authority to regulate interstate commerce in basic materials does not include authority to regulate firearms, firearm actions or receivers, firearms accessories, and ammunition made in the state from basic materials.” Oh for Pete’s sake.

Deer Creek: Damage Done?

1

Troubling news from CO. On Tuesday, a gunman wounded two students at the Deer Creek Middle School. Thankfully, the mentally unstable attacker—32-year-old Deer Park grad Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood—wasn’t a trained shooter using an automatic weapon. Eastwood carried a bolt-action 30-06; a weapon that can fire, at its absolute limit in ideal circumstances, some ten rounds per minute. The perp was subdued by an emotionally fragile and slender teacher-turned-tackler named David Benke. Judging from this clip, Benke was no stranger to firearms. And a good thing too. Although Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine suggested that the NRA (National Rifle Association) would show up at any gun-related school tragedy to defend the Second Amendment, they haven’t. Obvious takeaway lessons learned from this near tragedy: 1) intervention isn’t just for televised drug addicts; anyone who hears voices in his head shouldn’t be left to his own devices 2) children should be taught to run from anyone carrying an exposed rifle and 3) schools need Terminators on constant patrol.

Breast Implant Saves Shooting Victim’s Life. Maybe.

0

As the LA Times points out, the plastic surgeon claiming that D-cup breast implants saved shooting victim Lydia Carranza’s life has an axe to grind. So to speak. “Cosmetic surgeon {Dr. Ashkan Ghavami] hopes to drum up support to defray the costs of Carranza’s reconstructive surgery. ‘She’s just one lucky woman,’ said Dr. Ghavami, who says he will perform the surgery for next to nothing but has urged Carranza to tell her story in hopes of getting implant companies to donate the supplies.” Define “next to nothing.” It gets sillier from there. “Scott Reitz, a firearms instructor and deadly-force expert witness with 30 years’ experience in the LAPD, said that, although he was not involved in the case, the scenario Ghavami describes is entirely plausible. ‘Common sense would dictate that any time you have something that interrupts the velocity of the projectile, it would benefit the object it was trying to strike,’ he said. And because a saline implant is like a high-pressure bag full of salt water, it probably would provide more resistance than plain flesh, he said. ‘I don’t want to say a boob job is the equivalent of a bulletproof vest,’ he added. ‘So don’t go getting breast enhancements as a means to deflect a possible incoming bullet.'” Perish the thought.

NC Congressional Candidate Holds “Machine Gun Social”

0

The unintentionally ironically named FayOberserver.com shares the mainstream media’s belief that the Tea Party movement and gun nuts make for regular bedfellows. And they want you to know it (as in see it their way). So when Republican North Carolina congressional candidate Tim D’Annunzio held a fundraiser at a gun rental range, the paper made editorial hay while the proverbial sun shined. “By adding $25 to D’Annunzio’s campaign kitty, supporters got the opportunity to fire an Uzi or an MP-5 submachine gun. “I was so good the first time,” said 56-year-old Victoria Schott of Charlotte, “I’m going to do it again.” In keeping with the traditional political fundraiser, supporters could also help themselves to a plate of fresh-cooked pork barbecue with all the trimmings.” Pork politics, geddit? Needless to say, the gun pun-heavy article ends with a quote from someone who thinks that gun ownership equals delusional fanaticism. “Not everyone was happy with this bullets for bucks benefit. Three members representing Fayetteville Peace With Justice dropped by and had a bite to eat. Afterward, the group’s spokeswoman, Wendy Michener, shot from the hip: “It says more about us than it does about him (D’Annunzio). … There’s a good part of this country that would think this would be a really good idea.”

Unofficial Israeli Defense Force T-Shirts Show Civilian Targets

3

Haaretz.com reports that Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers are wearing T-shirts that do little to win the hearts and minds of Palestinians, and much to sour and twist them. To wit:

Dead babies, mothers weeping on their children’s graves, a gun aimed at a child and bombed-out mosques – these are a few examples of the images Israel Defense Forces soldiers design these days to print on shirts they order to mark the end of training, or of field duty. The slogans accompanying the drawings are not exactly anemic either: A T-shirt for infantry snipers bears the inscription “Better use Durex,” next to a picture of a dead Palestinian baby, with his weeping mother and a teddy bear beside him. A sharpshooter’s T-shirt from the Givati Brigade’s Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull’s-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, “1 shot, 2 kills.” A “graduation” shirt for those who have completed another snipers course depicts a Palestinian baby, who grows into a combative boy and then an armed adult, with the inscription, “No matter how it begins, we’ll put an end to it.”
