Napoleon’s Retreat
I saw this @ MArooned, and initially thought it was Jay G’s sardonic humor, again. Turned out it wasn’t…
Washington, D.C. Senator Lousenburg (D. NJ) has filed the “Turn Tail and Run” (TTR) bill in the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would preempt ALL State “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) laws. The new bill would impose a national duty to retreat at all times when one encounters a criminal threat or is about to become a victim of violent crime. New York City Mayor Bloomingidiot has made passage of the “TTR” a centerpiece of his national “Second Chance at Shoot First” campaign. The mayor heartily approved of TTR, especially since bodyguards of celebrities, VIP’s, and political figures were exempted.
There’s more where this came from. Please visit the link, but you know the drill, airsick back and all – Guffaw
h/t Jay G, Pro-Gun New Hampshire
I’m ready to propose the KMA bill. This would require ALL anti-gun politicians to KMA in any situatuion where I feel the need to defend myself.

Posted by guffaw1952 | April 28, 2012, 8:49 amYou know, the way my house is laid out, retreating as far as I could physically retreat in it would put me in danger by pushing me into a room that has no cover that could stop a bullet. If worse comes to worse, I’m not backing into that room – I’ll be calling 911 but I’ll also be staying put with my M1 because I have no intention of leaving myself as vulnerable as one more room back would put me. So bugger the idiots who think that retreat, whether at a run or otherwise, is always preferable.

I see a bumper sticker!

Here it is if you wish to read it here.
Editor’s note added Friday, April 27: In less than four days, this article has gathered more internet hits than anything else we’ve published on this website. We’re amazed, however, at how many people don’t recognize the article as parody — political satire — and instead take it seriously. Reversing famous quotations (“If they mean to have a war, let it begin somewhere else [instead of 'here']“? Using a Monty Python song? Mayor “Bloomingidiot”? Come on! (In addition to being a brilliant and successful lawyer, Evan’s got a great sense of humor!)
Posted by Mark | April 29, 2012, 7:26 pmI’ve heard persons NOT parodying using names like Mayor Bloomingidiot, because he is!
Hopefully, it IS a parody!
Posted by guffaw1952 | April 29, 2012, 8:28 pmIt’s too easy to believe it’s real – all of us have probably talked to people whose insistance on x, y, and z actions reveal an absolute lack of knowledge of the real world.
Posted by ProudHillbilly | April 30, 2012, 5:51 amAgreed. As for me, the use of monikers such as Mayor Bloomingidiot doesn’t signify parody. It signifies mockery. And, I’ve no doubt that if the gun-control crowd could enact such legislation, they would!
