Just say no to AG Moonbeam
It should come as no surprise that I'd suggest that you not vote for Jerry Brown for Attorney General of California. One of Brown's TV ads, however has been bugging me recently -- and I'm not the only one.
Dale Franks over at QandO has some more background (see previous link), but I too was mildly amused at some anonymous cop describing a .50 cal sniper rifle as an "assault weapon" -- people occasionally use this weapon as an "assault weapon" in Halo2, but not in real life.
Now, I don't know how things are in your part of the US, but most criminal out here don't put down $3,000 to buy a 20-pound rifle to lug around. And, as it happens, no police officers have actually been killed by the .50 cal. BMG. Although, in 1995—eleven years ago—a BMG armed whackjob did have a stand-off with the cops, during which he did fire a round that went through two cars. Oh, and that wasn't even in California. It was in Colorado.
This is probably indicative of what you can expect from Attorney General Brown -- lots of talk about things that aren't problems, while he ignores pressing issues.

What I want to know is why this parasite can't get himself a job in the private sector and make a real living, instead of constantly drawing a paycheck funded by the taxpayer?
