There's a new weblog in town. It's called VPC Blog (http://vpcblog.wordpress.com/) and it started up a few days ago. I found it linked at Say Uncle (http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/03/01/han_shot_first/) and at The Smallest Minority. (http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/)

From today's entry:

In the year 1896, Winston Churchill invented the Mauser C96 in order to crush natives with greater efficiency...
:eek:

:what:


...and it starts in early on John Moses Browning (PBUH):

The patron-saint of all Gun Blobbers,

{that's the VPC blog author's term for "Gun Lobby Gun Bloggers" ;) —BD}

John Browning invented numerous firearms and thus is the source of much of the world’s ills. Gun Blobbers idolize him because he represents someone who acted completely sane around firearms. We at the VPC Blog know this is a quality only to found in Law Enforcement Officers, thus his fanatics are deluding themselves.

Here is a sample list of his crimes:


Turned a lever-action rifle into an assault weapon. He probably used Black Magic in order to accomplish this feat.

From this, he designed the M1895 machine gun, and then the M2 machine gun.

The Browning Automatic Rifle. Truly a deadly assault weapon.

Created the the M1911 and Browning Hi-Power pistols, frequently used by gangsters.

He created six deadly pistol cartridges: .25 ACP*, .32 ACP, .38 ACP, .380 ACP, 9mm Browning Long, and .45 ACP.


* ACP stands for “Assault Combat Pistol.”


And, worst of all, he created the .50 Caliber Browning Machine Gun cartridge.


As you can see, he is practically a war criminal. We’ve created a pie graph to display how many deaths are caused by John Browning. Invariably, all deaths are caused either by John Browning or by Glocks.
Enjoy. Here's the link again. (http://vpcblog.wordpress.com/)

[Mr White]

Its hard to distingiush between the satire and the VPC's real site. This one I can laugh at beccause its satire, the VPC's real site is scary because they believe all the inaccuracies to be fact.

[DoubleTapDrew]

That's a pretty hilarious site! Like Mr. White said, the sad part is it really isn't that far off from the real anti-sites with their outrageous claims.

Let’s look at some facts. A .50 BMG round can:

-Crack an engine block.
-Crack the engine of a plane and, absolutely positively, kill everyone on board easily.
-Kill Superman.
Yes, the Man of Steel can be easily killed by this bullet. The .50 BMG round can penetrate over one inch of steel. Superman’s skin is only the equivalent of half-an-inch of steel armor. Lex Luthor is sure to buy this weapon, kill Superman, then shoot down a hundred airliners, including Air Force One. With Superman dead, they’ll be no one available to save those airliners from crashing. Our most vital component of aviation safety will have been disabled.

Sometime between now and November some clueless reporter or columnist will quote some of the "facts" or "statistics" from that site. I'd put money on it.

Maybe the ensuing public beat-down will cause columnists and the rest of the media to do a more thorough check of their facts before publishing...

...yeah, I know, unlikely as hell, but I can dream, can't I?

[Brian Dale]

...I can dream, can't I?

:D

[usmarine0352_2005]

That stuff is hilarious.

[NG VI]

so it is a satire... I'm cryin' here! where's the real VPC blog?

they should re-name themselves the VCP, or Victims Creation Program

[Winchester 73]

NG VI, is this what you want?

[Titan6]

I like how the links to all of their good guys work. How are you going to be able to tell the difference?

[revjen45]

"Yes, the Man of Steel can be easily killed by this bullet. The .50 BMG round can penetrate over one inch of steel. Superman’s skin is only the equivalent of half-an-inch of steel armor."

That settles it! Kryptonite bullets must be banned immediately. It's for THE CHILDREN you know.

[Brian Dale]

Aren't Kryptonite projectiles already covered under the existing NFA rules as "Destructive Devices?"

As I read things, the .50 BMG is an insidious, previously unaddressed :rolleyes: , threat, lurking in the shadows, lying in wait to rain destruction upon outgunned Superheroes. :neener:

[Sheldon J]

They sound like a bunch of Hippie California 12 year olds, no wait even a 12 year old is smarter than that.

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Where have all the superheroes gone?


Answer: Ronnie Barrett killed them.

I LOVE IT.

I'm glad you shared this, I would never have found it.

[romma]

That is some funny stuff! Who came up with it?

[Titan6]

That is some funny stuff! Who came up with it?

He sounds suspicously like a poster here. I wonder if anyone knows.

[mordechaianiliewicz]

This made my day.

[.cheese.]

funny stuff!

From the site:

"ACP stands for Assault Combat Pistol"

:what:

[Pigspitter]

I love the "In Memoriam:Gueedo...Killed by an Assualt Pistol" picture

[Ash]

You just beat me to the Greedo reference.

That was shocking. I had no idea a 10-22 got its name from being able to kill 22 people with 10 shots. Great stuff. :D

[BucksDC]

Laughed my butt off!
Thanks
