Okay, so the Republican dominated Missouri legislature has decided that everyone needs a gun without the hassle of a background check or training because, you know, they don’t need no stinkin’ training.

Missouri lawmakers pushed through bills on Wednesday eliminating the need for permits to carry concealed weapons and requiring voters to show a photo identification before casting a ballot, overriding Democratic Governor Jay Nixon’s vetoes of the bills.

Both votes by the Republican-controlled state House and Senate reached the two-thirds majority required to enact legislation over the governor’s veto.

The weapons bill abolished a state law requiring a permit, training and background checks for people who want to carry a concealed weapon in the state.

So, you have to have a photo ID to vote but if you want to make this county great again, just buy a gun.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, a pistol-packing elementary school teacher at a Christian school had to go to the bathroom.

A teacher at a Christian school accidently left her loaded pistol in a bathroom, where elementary school children found it, state police said Tuesday.

Beth Jean Dixon, 63, put her holstered pistol on a toilet tank when she used the unisex, one-toilet bathroom Aug. 25 at Cumberland Christian School, in Chambersburg, police said. They said she forgot about it and left.

And in New Orleans a nine year old boy shot himself while handling a gun.  His 10 year old cousin called police.  The boy is expected to recover.

And after Tennessee became the #1 state in accidental gun deaths, Jonathan Metzl, research director with the Safe Tennessee Project and director of the Center for Medicine, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University found himself in the Catch 22:

“Metzl said he’d like to prevent such killings, but says a congressional ban on gun violence research is a hindrance.

“‘There are studies that we could be doing,’ he said. “Would trigger locks help? Would gun safeties help? Would smart guns that only fire when the user is handling the gun — would that help?’”

Metzl is legally prohibited from researching ways to lower accidental gun deaths. He literally cannot look at this problem and try to fix it.”

See, we don’t need no stinkin’ permits or training.

Thanks to Charles, Tina, and John for the heads up.

I’m busy this morning so have a blast from the past!  It’s Keith!

You know the picture I showed you below from Asheville, North Carolina?

Well, a Trump supporter got revenge.

Police say they arrested five people at Trump’s night rally Monday in Asheville, and as of publishing have warrants out for two more people.

Police plan to arrest Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina for assault on a female.

That female is 69-year-old Shirley Teter.

Shirley Teter is on oxygen.  And what did Shirley do to warrant this?

“Whenever groups of them would start chanting ‘Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump!’ I would chant back, ‘Dump, dump, dump, dump.’ It was kind of comical,” Teter said.

“I said you better learn to speak Russian, and I said the first two words are going to be, ha ha. He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me,” Teter said.

She was punched in the face.

She says she fell on her oxygen tank and has sore ribs, a sore jaw, and cut her elbow. She later went to the hospital and is thankful she did not break any bones.

I wonder if Trump’s offer to pay the legal fees of anyone who punches a protestor still stands?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

They just keep overflowing that basket.

A western Oregon man is publicizing his antipathy towards Hillary Clinton by hanging an effigy of the Democratic nominee on the side of an interstate highway, local station KVAL reported Monday.

Though Pitner told KVAL that a local priest had asked him to take the effigy down from its spot on the shoulder of Interstate-5, Pitner said he was simply exercising his First Amendment right and planned to switch up the signs on the display daily.

“I’m allowed to have my feelings, right, wrong, or indifferent,” Pitner told the news station. “Here you are. Got your attention, didn’t it?”

Yeah, Billy, but so would a 450 pound burlesque dancer wearing nothing but chicken feathers.  Both kinda make you roll your eyes.

Bless Billy’s heart, he kinda look like something Lewis and Clark left along the trail.

Barry Goldwater had a campaign slogan, “In your heart, you know he’s right.”

Yesterday in Asheville, North Carolina  …

Thanks to Hilary for the great picture!

Do you know what I am sick of?  I am sick of Republicans talking about blood.

The newly elected Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, who danced to victory on the back of Kim Davis, spoke to the Value Voters Summit and declared that they value a whole lot of bloodshed.

Give it a listen.

Holy crap.
