I spent all my money getting my brains blown out by Overkill at the Sunshine Theater a few hours ago (my ears are still ringing).

4. Considering that the City of Albuquerque hasn’t been in the business of providing firearms to the general public in the 25 years that I’ve lived here, the use of the word “buyback” is an error at best, and a duplicitious lie at worst (I’m betting on worst-case at this point).

Concert Review — Overkill at the Sunshine Theater

For what it’s worth, I bought my ticket online over two months ago —

As late as 2006, I had to drive around Albuquerque, looking for Ticketmaster sellers ^[1]. HoldMyTicket is so, so much BETTER than Ticketmaster.

Here’s the event poster (had to convert it from .webp format, as WordPress doesn’t like that one ^[2]) from the Sunshine Theater’s site ^[3] —

Leading up to Overkill, Exhorder put out a good effort. Here’s their official site, Facebook Page, and YouTube channel.

Here’s Overkill’s set list from last night:

In the middle of “Rotten to the Core,” Mike Trujillo, former host of Zero Hour Squared on the now-defunct (?) Channel 27, stopped by, said “Hi,” and we shook hands. Nothing like meeting old friends at these shows.

This was the fourth time I’ve seen Overkill live ^[4], and as on the previous occasions, they didn’t disappoint. I am hoping for fifth, sixth, and seventh times, wherever I might end up.

“No one wants to take your guns,” NM v. 02-28-2020

From page A15 of the Friday, 28 February 2020 edition of the Albuquerque Journal, we have not one, but two “gems of wisdom.”

First, the writer labels anyone that owns or carries a firearm a “gun possessor,” and makes NO attempt to distinguish between criminal misuse of firearms and safe and proficient defensive uses.

So drug testing for welfare recipients, or as a condition of employment is unConstitutional and a violation of rights, but perfectly OK if you want to purchase a firearm?

Summing Up the Hoplophobes and Victim Disarmers in a Paragraph

Today’s Albuquerque Journal, fresh from the driveway, has the following in the “Speak Up!” section of the Op-Ed page (A13) —

BACKGROUND CHECKS can help reduce mass shootings if they are combined with other strong measures. Close the loopholes and make purchases that are now legal, illegal. MY

If that doesn’t sum up the hoplophobe and victim disarmer mindset, I don’t know what does.

This is why I am not fond of the phrase “law-abiding” when used by right-to-own-and-carry-weapons advocates in relation to gun owners. The openly-stated intent of the victim disarmers is to make it more difficult and more expensive to own any sort of firearm in a legal manner.

Y’all do realize that calling yourself a “law-abiding” gun owner while simultaneously sporting any “I WILL NOT COMPLY” graphics or signage is idiocy. For the very essence of “law-abiding” is compliance with every little asinine, ridiculous, burdensome edict put out by the Political Classholes?!

Ben Ray Lujan says William Barr MUST Resign

So according to New Mexico’s poster boy for public-sector nepotism, T.rump is committing the unforgivable sin of “directly overruling federal prosecutors.”

Ben Ray seems to have forgotten that those prosecutors take orders from the U.S. Attorneys.

Those U.S. Attorneys, in turn, take orders from the Attorney General, who takes his orders from . . . T.rump.

So Ben Ray not only doesn’t seem to understand this concept called chain of command, but he’s got it all backwards.

As for Roger Stone, I’ve heard from other sources that he’s an absolute cretin. Which seems to be the rule rather than the exception where the District of Criminals is concerned.

And there’s no shortage of corruption in Ben Ray’s camp — if Clintons aren’t the walking, talking embodiment of graft and office-selling, I’m not sure who is.
