The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

A victory for Second Amendment rights in New Jersey
A disabled NJ man won an important Second Amendment court victory yesterday. A judge in Somerville said there is "no reason" that James Cap, a quadriplegic who is physically unable to hold a gun or pull a trigger, should be denied a firearms ID card — a requirement for the purchase of any gun in New Jersey.
"I hope you enjoy the use of your firearm," Superior Court Judge John Pursel said before signing an order that will allow Cap to get a permit as long as any guns he buys are stored in a safe and only qualified people assist him with the weapons.
When he buys a gun, Cap will be able to shoot with the help of a friend, who can put his firearm in a special wheelchair mount. A mechanical device will allow him to aim and fire with breaths through a tube.
"You aim it right, left or down and take the shot," explained Cap, saying it is a simple and safe device.
Cap, a 46-year-old Manville resident who was paralyzed by an injury suffered during a high school football game three decades ago, is an avid hunter who had been denied the ID card by a local police chief.
It took 2½ years, thousands of dollars in legal fees, and a lawsuit against Manville police chief Mark Peltac (who summarily rejected his application for a gun permit in 2008) for Mr. Cap to finally be able to exercise his Constitutional right to own a gun.
It shouldn't be that hard.
Such is the nature of New Jersey's draconian gun laws and pervasive anti-gun culture. Law-abiding citizens have to fight city hall just to legally be permitted to own firearms, but the criminals remain undeterred in their ability to obtain them at will.
Take the idiotic "one handgun a month law" championed by lame-duck Governor Jon Corzine. Turns out this law limits gun stores to buying one gun a month from their suppliers. You try to stay in business if you can only buy one new item of inventory every 30 days.
It's the kind of law that only makes sense to a limousine liberal. Thank God
we have men like James Cap who are willing to fight for the preservation of
our Second Amendment rights.
