Been gone for a bit but here are some random gun things worth your time:

CounterTop addresses the newest bogeyman, assault pistols:

“This weapon is particularly worrisome based on its caliber and its ability to pierce armor,” said NYPD Inspector Michael Coan. “Although it may be useful for the military, we see no reason why a civilian should possess such a weapon.”

Of course, this pistol isn’t available to the public. Media hysteria in full effect, yo.

The Geek quotes Farnam on South Africa’s new gun registry:

What was fraudulently marketed as a benign “licensing” proposal has now shown itself to be a plan (and it was from the beginning) for the elimination of the private ownership of all firearms.

Tennessee is (once again) looking at legislation that states:

SB 0026* – Norris
Possession of firearms where alcohol is served. Allows a person with firearm permit to have a firearm in a building that serves alcohol if they themselves are not consuming alcohol and the owner of the establishment has not prohibited firearms on the premises. TCA Secs. 39-17-0000; 39-17-1305
Senate Status: Introduced 1/13/2005

And Les is back to his old tricks with Gun Links.
