In this photo (circa 1933) - found on a camera recovered during a bungled raid on the outlaws - Bonnie Parker ‘disarms’ Clyde Barrow in a mock arrest, pointing the Winchester shotgun at his chest.

“…most .50 rifles sold in the United States are single-shot rifles, and because of their excessive weight, are almost always fired prone. Perhaps a New Jersey Democrat would rather our soldiers be attacked with a lightweight, far more concealable fully-automatic weapon capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute as the terrorists intended, but I promise, that to a man, any knowledgeable soldier would rather be attacked with a ponderous .50-caliber single-shot rifle than an AK-47.”
If the gun registry worked, we should have clear evidence. Instead, all we have is ignorant fearmongering that falsely calls varmint rifles “assault rifles,” and scary pictures of the HS-50, which is so expensive and difficult to transport that it has likely never been used in a murder in Canada, and likely never will. But they raise the fear of someone using such a rifle to make an incredibly long-range shot, a feat of effectively Olympian proportions. Unless we’re afraid that Rob Furlong - a former corporal of the Canadian Forces who held the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat - is going to go rogue, it would take thou-sands of hours of practice (at about $10 per bullet) to gain that level of skill - a commitment criminals simply don’t have.
If bananas don’t disappear from supermarket shelves by 2013, they will look, and taste, different.

Yes - in 10 years we may have no bananas | Environment | The Guardian I found this prediction from 2003 that we’re going to have a new banana famine by 2013. The coming banana famine is real and it happening next year would really add to the doom and gloom of everything. (via bespangled) banana famine…it’s real…we’re fucked. |
