Gun miscellany
Here’s an article on how guns are getting funneled into Africa. It should mention that those arms are going to the wrong people.
Apparently, the police are licensed therapists and can decide to take your guns if you’re suicidal, even though you’ve done nothing illegal. And they destroyed his property because they didn’t have a place to store it.
Will the Patriot Act allow the authorities to essentially maintain a registry of guns? GOA thinks so.
The Democrats are again figuring out that they need to be pro-gun if they expect to win elections. Good.
The Last Gun Shop update: David reports that the owner has lost another zoning battle. Doesn’t matter, though. Since Kelo, all the city has to do is say it wants to put a Wal-Mart there.
CounterTop appears to have traded down. Dude, like with women, you only trade up. I have the perfect woman but have yet to find the perfect gun.

Sorry, I disagree.
I am perfectly content with the trade. I simply wasn’t using the SAR anymore (I used it once with Steve Ravnwood about a year ago and can’t remember the time before that) – plus an AK is an AK. The revolver is a thing of pure beauty, and perfectly balanced in my hand.

SayUncle –
The Democrats were pro-gun in the last election. It didn’t help.
And joining the RINOs may not be such a great idea for you. It was the RINOs on the Hill that have no problem in taxing your firearm and ammo purchases out of realistic existance. As with all of the political groups out there, you may like some of the parts of their ideology, but you’re not going to like it all.
Cheers,

Rob, wrong RINOs 🙂
And the democrats ran as pro-gun, while supporting the AWB, closing the supposed gun show loophole, and a few other gun control measures. The american people just didn’t believe them.

As the Republicans are showing, what you run on and how you govern through the other times of the election cycle can be quite different.
And I’m not so sure that this ain’t your daddy’s RINOs…
Cheers,
