Steel Challenge 2008

All kinds of reports and pics over at Mr. Completely’s place. Keep scrolling.

Are you a manufacturer of firearms?

According to ATF, probably. Ridefast notes some things that qualify:

# Drop in parts.
# Bluing and colorization.
# Sporterizing.
# Mounting a scope base.
# Installing a different sight.

Manuel Lora notes that coloring and heat-treating qualify as well.

Last night, I had a punch and big ass hammer out to fix the Enfield. I did not apply for a Federal Firearms License nor did I pay a Special Occupational Tax to do that.

Reasonable

Dougie Doug over at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s blog says:

AP has just reported that the winner of the D.C. gun case submitted to reasonable gun control and registered his handgun with the District police

Well, if your definition of reasonable gun control involves taking your case all the way to the Supreme Court, I suppose.

New Product

I can’t decide if this is targeted toward libertarian parents or neoconservative parents, though…

Truth in advertising

Heh.

Our blogging governor

Aunt B. takes a look. Probably tough to blog as a politico. I mean, everything you say has to be scrubbed, primped, and done with the thought of your political career in mind. That’s why politicians, for a group of people who spend so much time talking, don’t really have much of substance to say.

Man writes about using gun in self-defense

I was truly sorry he died, but knew I had made the right decisions.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Donald Kaul:

So enjoy yourselves, gun-persons. Your end is coming. And when the black helicopters land on your lawn and AFT (sic) agents shoot you for resisting arrest, I’ll be proud to show up and pry your weapon from your cold, dead hand.

Laughing maniacally as I do it. So there.

Of course they don’t want you armed, they think you entertain the same violent fantasies they do.

Enfield Bleg

Dear Internet,

This Saturday, I shot the Enfield rifle. It’s sights are horribly out of alignment. Started at 25 yards just to see. The bullet landed about 50 yards out and about 10 yards to the left. How do I sight this thing in?

Starting Friday, a few bloggers get to train with Todd Jarrett. The event is at Blackwater’s facility and hosted by ParaUSA. This event will eventually be televised on Michael Bane’s show. Looks to be a good time. Now, I’ve got to get myself in shape to fire 1,500 rounds of 45ACP. I practiced by shooting 200 rounds Saturday.

Killing ideas not the same as killing you

Robyn Ringler says that her attempt at Reasoned Discoursetm brought frequent death threats. I think she’s full of crap, as usual, or she’d produce some evidence. But she can’t, really, since she never let any comments that didn’t fit the narrative get on the blog. She loses, we win, she plays the sympathy card. And, of course, she says gun nuts are racists. Now, I read the comments there and think Robyn is full of it. However, this sums it up:

Most of the comments I received were so mean and lacking in compassion and empathy it was hard to believe people would write such things.

Well, people tend not to be to empathetic to those who want to infringe on their rights. They’re weird that way.

Strange

Report from the Pennsylvania State NRA Airgun Silhouette Championships. Lots of pics.

Unpossible

That didn’t work the first time, so let’s make it illegaler.

Today’s Idiot: The Tennessean’s Dwight Lewis

After equating all gun owners to racists in his opening paragraph, this bigoted genius is shocked that a person can engage in lawful commerce:

How did he get “at least 16 guns”?

Probably by engaging in lawful commerce. He continues:

It’s not only the Second Amendment Foundation that makes me sick when it comes to gun advocates, it’s the National Rifle Association, as well.

Last Wednesday, the NRA claimed Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is trying to mislead voters in Montana about his past support of gun control, calling Obama “a poster child of the extremist, elitist gun control movement.”

Yeah, I mean, pointing out Obama’s record to people who might care is sickening. It’s like the truth might get out, or something.

America needs more “extremist, elitist gun control” people to help stop the killing of such people as Bill Gwatney, not laws that will enable more people to own guns and then kill people with them.

That approach hasn’t worked well for Democrats so they’re abandoning it faster than you abandoned any grip on reality with this piece.

They’re so cute when they’re losing

Who’s a sad clown?

I’d probably have that look too if I were punked that bad.

Al Gore’s Internets Are Broken

All weekend sans the web since Charter is boogered. Seems it’s boogered statewide. So, no blog for you.

Blogged from my crackberry.

At your peril

Dear ATF: How do I obtain a classification from ATF for my “potato gun?”

Looking for an application to view and edit MS Office documents. There’s a lot of them and they’re spendy. Before buying one, I thought I’d get opinions on what you folks recommend.
