Chicks and Guns
Michelle shot her first CMP Match.

Red light cameras were never meant to decrease accidents. Just to raise revenue.
No, it’s not. But kinda funny how there’s always just a smidgen of truth in the crazy.
Good:
The Tennessee House Finance Committee has sent to the House floor a proposal to close public access to names of people who have state-issued permits to carry loaded handguns.
At Subguns, how to clean a suppressor:
I cork (use a real cork , rubber will dissolve) , pour it full of carburetor cleaner and take an aquarium bubbler and stick the end of the hose to the bottom of the can , let it sit for however long and bubble with a plastic baggie over it to contain the droplets that come out the top and the finish on the can, secure the bag with a rubber band at the top. Next ,When you decide it is finished , take all the rigging off, then take airplane gas obtained from the local airport , pour it though with a funnel and the crud pours out . the gasoline leaves no residue and dries almost instantly . Good to go then.
Use outside and away from and flame , use black nitrile gloves as the kitchen dishwasher gloves will dissolve on your hands . Don’t get it on your clothes Safety first.
Ringing a bell at 240 yards with a pistol:
Not to mention what he can do with his Glock 30.
That’s what they tell us. But they lie:
Ban the sale, use or possession of 50-caliber or larger weapons, and creates a program to recall those currently legally owned (A.3211A/Eddington);
And John Lott notes quite a bit of gun control in NY. Are they trying to get it all in before the Chicago Gun Case?
The Public Will Was Subverted Much More Efficiently When He Was In Charge
Whip: Workers Take Over the Means of Production
Arlen Specter will apparently do anything to stay in power. He has switched parties. Will his gun votes change too? He is A-Rated by NRA. This could give Democrats the magic 60 to be filibuster proof.
He says the Republican party moved too far right. Really? When? Seem to be headed the other way to me.
Interesting times.
From email, comes this from the TFA:
HB0962 Restaurant Carry
I cannot stress enough that we need more phone calls and emails to legislators about passing HB0962 in the House and Senate without the House restrictions. The Senate version of the bill strips out these restrictions. We expect, at this point, for the bills to be in both Houses on Thursday the 30th of April and to be potentially in and out of conference by that time.
Find your rep here and give them a call.
We here at SayUncle tend to be a bit hard on the ATF. However, they occasionally do something cool. Recently, on Antiques Roadshow, someone inherited a pretty rare 1913 Winchester. Trouble is that the rifle had a 14 inch barrel, thus making it an unregistered short-barreled rifle and a contraband NFA item. But ATF was cool about it:
GUEST: Once my father passed, I knew that the rifle was short and I, like I said before, I had talked to the gentleman in Cody, Wyoming, and he said the best thing to do is be up front with the ATF and call them. And that’s where we went from there.
APPRAISER: That is the best course of action, is whenever somebody feels that they have a firearm which may be illegal, they should contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. What you do have here is you have a Winchester model 1892, manufactured in 1913, and these are extremely rare. All of these were made on custom order from Winchester. They were very popular with bank guards and express companies. Many of them found their way into Central and South America. They made other custom orders, like 15-, 16- and 18-inch barrels. Now, the good thing about those people that have the 16 and 18 inches is they’re not against the law. But what you’ve done here is you’ve contacted the ATF and they basically removed the firearm from the restricted list and added this specific firearm to the Curio & Relics list, which, in essence, helps you sell it in the future if you chose to do that. The 14-inch is probably the rarest out of all those firearms. There are probably only about a hundred of these…
That transferred to the C&R list to make it lawful. Excellent. A pity to have had that rifle destroyed.
AR15.com reports that member and blog reader Joseph P. DeBergalis Jr. was elected to the NRA Board of Directors. Congrats. Joe was interviewed by Sebastian here.
Joe really reached out to the various message boards and blogs. Looks like it paid off.
Heh:
Since the Obama administration’s talk of banning so-called ‘assault weapons’ has resulted in a huge spike in semi-automatic weapon sales nationwide, the White House has recently begun a covert ‘whisper campaign’ suggesting the president might also ban U.S.-manufactured cars and trucks with fully-automatic transmissions, now dubbed ‘assault vehicles’.
So, Memphis and Nashville make the national list of most dangerous cities. I’m surprised Nashville made the list but keep waiting for Memphis to finally crack the top spot. This bit of information causes Aunt B. some pause:
And, frankly, it’s for this reason that I’m opposed to any gun control in Tennessee.
When you listen to why people in the State want guns, they’re saying a lot of things that we Democrats need to hear. Why do people want guns?
More Democrat bloggers like this please. Instead of prominent state Democrat bloggers who parrot the Brady Campaign.
The Commercial Appeal has started pooing its collective pants over the new bill to allow cities to decide if they want to prohibit guns in parks. This, even though nearly 80% of their readers support the measure (wonder how that happened?). I’d address their 1) disingenuousness, 2) hysteria, and 3) outright lies but Linoge already did. And more from Rusty.
Tom Humphrey runs down the NRA grades:
Rowland was one of 21 state legislators to get a A+ rating from the NRA in 2008. This can’t hurt her prospects for the next ratings.
Of the 21 rated A+ by the NRA, 16 are Republicans and five are Democrats. Only five legislators, all Democrats, got an F rating.
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey is one of the A+ Republicans. Among the host of lawmakers with the less prestigious simple A rating was House Speaker Kent Williams.
Good question: Why can’t students say ‘guns’ in school?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
