Insert C'Mon Man, Can't We All Just Get Along?

The 1992 Los Angeles Riots were sparked on April 29, 1992, when a jury acquitted three white and one Hispanic Los Angeles Police Department officers accused in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King following a high-speed pursuit. Thousands of people in the Los Angeles area rioted over the six days following the verdict. Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred, and property damages topped roughly $1 billion. In all, 53 people died during the riots and thousands more were injured including Reginald Denny, a truck driver dragged out of vehicle and beaten on camera. For more than two weeks in the spring of 1992, L.A. Weekly photographer Ted Soqui put his life at risk as he drove from one ravaged neighborhood to another to document the fallout of the Los Angeles riots. He rephotographed those sites 20 years later, standing in the very same locations where he'd stood in 1992. Soqui's before-and-after imagery gives silent testament to how much has changed - and how little. Everyone living in large metropolitan areas of Florida might want to keep this in mind if George Zimmerman ever goes to trial.

After the court case, Rodney King was awarded $3.8 million in a civil case and used some of the proceeds to start a hip hop music label, Straight Alta-Pazz Recording Company. On September 9, 2010, it was confirmed that King was to marry Cynthia Kelley, who was a juror in the civil suit he brought against the City of Los Angeles. On April 12th, 2012, King released a statement to the media regarding the Trayvon Martin shooting. King said he was "grieving for Trayvon Martin" and stated how the scream on the audio of George Zimmerman's 911 call reminded him of his own screaming during his beating by the LAPD. Uh-huh.

So now is as good a time as any for me to segue into a topic that believe it or not, I've had on my to-do list for quite some time...

Nope, you don't get out of it that easy, Nathan. You definitely should call me out on that shit because I was wr-wr-wr-wr-wr-wr. Okay, give me a minute. I was wr-wr-wr-wr. Wr. I was. I was wr- I was WRONG. Wrong. Absolutely wrong. Indisputably wrong. As in, not right. As in, incorrect. As in, not on the button. As in, mistaken. That's right, mark your calenders because today, I eat shit. You see looking back and reading that post -- yes, even I'm shaking my head at some of the shit written there, and I'm the motherfucker who wrote it -- I can identify two fundamental flaws in my argument. One is based upon ignorance and the other upon stupidity; I'll let you decide which is which.

The first being that I was under the false understanding of assault weapons vs assault rifles; a common misconception shared by many people so hopefully this may clear some of that up. For lack of any better definition, Wikipedia defines an assault rifle as, "an automatic rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine." The key word there being automatic. On the flip side, the same source defines assault weapon as, "a non-technical term referring to any of a broad category of firearms with certain features, including some semiautomatic rifles, some pistols, and some shotguns." Huh? Here, let me translate that for you: There's no such fucking thing as an assault weapon. It's a made up term sensationalized by bullshit politicians and lazy journalists who, wanting to expend the least amount of time and energy as possible, use it as the easiest way to lump all the scary guns together under one big umbrella. So to clarify, assault weapons DO NOT equal assault rifles.

Let's use two of my shotguns as an example. The top is a Mossberg Mariner 590 (7+1), the bottom is a Benelli Super Nova (6+1). One would be categorized as the dreaded assault weapon, one would not; I don't think it takes too much imagination to figure out which. And why would this lower shotgun be restricted by an Assault Weapons ban? Because of its big scary pistol grip. No difference in functionality at all, just a little different ergonomics. Here, take a look at this scary and then not-scary rifle: what's the difference? Answer: not fucking much, really. The top one holds 25 rounds, the other holds 18. But the telescoping stock, pistol grip, and flash suppressor on the top one means it's an assault weapon. But here's the fucking corker: they're both little pussy .22's! That's right! The top one which could only be used to climb atop a water tower and spew death to the unsuspecting innocent victims below shoots a .22 round which is just a hair slower than this fucking BB gun -- 1200 fps for the .22 vs 1500 fps for the BB gun. But again, because it looks like something you might see in The Hurt Locker, it's an assault rifle. It's nothing more than legislating on looks. It's like banning Toyota Camrys from the general public because they race that model in NASCAR, even though the two have absolutely nothing in common aside from a few miscellaneous body panels. It's stupid, it's arbitrary, and it's completely bullshit.

The second thing is -- and this is where my Spocklogic failed me -- I forgot one of the founding principles of our country. We live in a free society, and so it's not about wants versus needs, at all. Everything is allowed by default; you don't have to come up with a reason why something should be legal, I have to come up with a reason why it should be illegal. Take for example that Saiga 12 that I'm always flapping my gums about. Now what practical use do I have for that? Well, barring Los Angeles level mayhem, absolutely fucking none. Zipolla. But it's not about need. I don't need to justify my need a Saiga 12, in order to justify having one; I only have to want one. And so I do, and so fuck it, I bought one. Practical? Hell no, it's actually kind of awkward to handle and shoot sometimes. But a shit ton of fun? Hell yes. Or this Norinco NHM-91 I picked up a few months ago, which is the civilian semi-automatic variant of the Russian RPK light machine gun. Now, to recycle my previous example, do I to call my neighbor at 3am and say, "Ed, I've got a squad of Charlie coming in at 300 meters. Circle around to their left flank and when they reach the brown sofa, I'm going to send up some flares so we can catch them in a crossfire. Be ready to wake up Joe and call in some air support." Nope, but fuck it, I don't have to. I don't have to need it any more than a banker needs a Corvette with 800hp and has a top speed of 186mph, or a redneck needs a truck with 44" Super Swampers when he never takes his truck off road. it's a free country. Want an NHM-91, get an NHM-91. Want an AR-15, get an AR-15. It's that simple. I don't know why I didn't get that before.

Now as for full on automatics in the hands of everyday folks? I'll be honest, I'm a little up in the air about that one. I'm not adamantly apposed to it like I was before, but I don't know if I'd embrace it with open arms either. Don't get me wrong, if they repealed the 1968 NFA restrictions this afternoon, I'd buy a full-auto heater tomorrow morning. The catch is I'd never visit my local gun range anymore because I've seen so many fucking idiots there do so many unsafe things, I can only imagine the calamity. So how about this: I'm all for returning fully automatic weapons to civilians, but you have to take a fucking IQ test first. And on a semi (hee hee) related issue, remember the hot Navy chick who taught Rihanna to shoot, and is now working at Machine Guns Vegas? Well here's a review and some pictures. You're welcome.

Poor Jake Landon had become stranded in the harsh wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains after his truck skidded off a road. He slowly but determinedly made his way to civilization, keeping himself alive by killing fish and squirrels with a pointy stick. When he finally made it through his ordeal and was released from the hospital, the state of New York chose that precise moment to kick Landon square in the balls by announcing that they would file criminal felony charges of "aggravated extreme animal cruelty" against him for the killing of "10 squirrels and [an] indeterminate number of fish." Because -- get this -- they had determined that he had raised his caloric requirements by actively trying to save himself rather than just staying put and waiting for rescuers to find him, thus requiring him to kill more animals than was necessary. Relax; this is just one of several fake news stories the main steam media swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

Yoga pants aren't only for girls who want to exercise, but also girls who want to show off their sexy ass. They easily make any chick's ass look good! But when you see an already hot babe walk by in-front of you with a pair of them on, you know it's almost the next best thing to them being naked. Here we have a compilation of the 95 best yoga pants ass shots from all over the web.
