We all know that this whole gun control argument is [BS] and just another reason to try to take our guns away. My worry is that all the folks calling for armed guards at schools are playing right into the Democrats’ Progressives’ [expletive deleted] Communists’ hands.

Can anyone say E(ducation)S(afety)A(dministration)?

The Democrats would love to have armed government union employees in the schools. It would be a wet dream come true.

Elvis was born on this day. So was David Bowie. Wow, there seems to be a pattern. Wait, so was R. Kelly. Never mind.

I’d write a novel about a baker who casts spells by slicing dough in different shapes, but it would be dismissed as “cookie-cutter fantasy.”

LinkedIn has suddenly undergone a jump in social acceptance. It’s the gay marriage of things you press “Yes” to make go away.

Thanks to Humble Bundle and Steam sales, I’m pretty overloaded with games right now. A game really has to grab my attention right away to get me to play it through or I’m on trying the next one as I just have way more games than time.

Anyway, I’m currently playing Far Cry 3Far Cry 3 and think I will beat that one as it’s a lot of fun (with some flaws I can go into at another time). Plus, I finally got a gaming mouse so I’m not using the touchpad on my laptop like a chump. Also, on my DS (well, technically, my 3DS), I’m playing The World Ends With You which is supposed to be really good as is just starting to grab me.

Games I’ve started and plan to get back to:

• Grand Theft Auto IV – I know it’s a good game, it just annoyed me for some reason but I’ll play it through eventually.

• Deus Ex: Human Revolution – It will be a much more fun game when I convince myself not to be a tedious completionist and hack every single door I see. Also, the story was just starting to get interesting when I put it down for Far Cry. Oh, but the character models in it really annoy me for some reason; they’re just so awkward and not real looking (large bodies, tiny heads) and make it seem like a ten year old game sometimes. A huge flaw for a dialogue heavy game where I’m not just gunning down these people.

• Assassin’s Creed II – I never played an Assassin’s Creed game and this is the highest reviewed of them (and was $5 on Steam). I love the free run where you easily climb up buildings and definitely want to get back to it.

• Dark Souls – At times extremely compelling with its difficulty and at other times I’m just like, “What am I doing here?”

Oh, and I keep telling myself one of these days I’m going to go back to Skyrim and finally beat the main quest in an Elder Scrolls game, but I last played it like a year ago (and put 93 hours in it).

And I still have countless games sitting in my Steam account that I haven’t even started. Plus someone was kind enough to gift me DOTA 2 which I know nothing about other than it’s really popular.

Man, I can’t wait until I one day retire and can play video games all day again. With this economy, that’s probably like forty years from now. Until then, I’ll try to get my kids really into video games so I can multiplayer with them and that be family time.

So a Public Policy Polling did a poll of Congress versus a number of different things, and found that Congress is even less popular than Nickelback.

Have you heard Nickelback? I once made a mistake where I kinda liked one Nickelback song and gave it a thumbs up on Pandora which then caused Pandora to play more Nickelback which was just horrible. As far as I can tell, pretty much all their songs are about how tiny their penises are and how they really need to overcompensate for it.

But, still, yeah, better than Congress.

Interesting, though, what things ranked lower than Congress; one of them was “Communism.” Hey, we worry about our country, but there are still signs we have our heads on straight.

So Gawker published a two-year-old list of the names of gun owners in New York because Gawker likes to cause controversy and attention. But I think the main lesson we should learn from this and what the Journal News did is that gun owners must resist any sort of registration or other government held record of their guns with all their might. For one, fascist pricks will abuse such a list. Second, as long as the government has no records of what guns we have, any idea of confiscation is completely unfeasible.

And really, why should the government have lists about us? The government works for us and reports to us; we don’t report to it. I mean, this whole idea that the government gets to know out income is insane and just another thing leading us down the path of believing we serve our government. But no, the government shouldn’t know my income or how many guns I have or how many ferrets I breed or anything else I don’t feel like sharing. The federal government just needs to keep Canada from invading and let me worry about my business.

Oh, and doesn’t all these attacks on gun owners disprove the idea that law-biding gun owners are anyone to fear? Because apparently people don’t worry about publishing lists of us while calling us a**holes, so how scary can we be?
