Unclear on the concept

UN stresses the fundamental importance of constitutional rights and respect for the rule of law. Then advocates violating both.

Deal Alert

Midway USA has the BSA Sweet 22 I mentioned a bit back for $40. I ordered it back then from another dealer who was out of stock.

Open Carry Case

Making a federal case out of open carry in Wisconsin.

What’s in a word

By infiltrate the gun violence prevention movement he means show up at their meetings.

Blog Bash

10 reasons to attend the Second Amendment Blog Bash.

Looking like I’ll be unable to attend this year. And that sucks.

Gun Show Loophole

One of our token liberals takes Bloomberg to task on the non-existent gun show loophole.

AR-15 in the news

Tampa editorial is shocked that the most popular sporting rifle in the country is the most popular sporting rifle in the country.

What media bias?

I thought reporters were supposed to report. Not interrogate.

Winers

In TN, the liquor store lobby wins. No wine in grocery stores this year.

BOLO

A gun shop in Franklin was the victim of a smash and grab. Here’s a list of items missing.

Messing with Texas

Governor reminds folks Texas can leave the union.

I think that makes him a terrorist.

Gun Porn

Browning Hi Powers

That’s a lot of magazines.

Heh: Putting a $1,100 ACOG on your daughter’s pink Crickett.

Saiga 12

Para 18.9.

Para LDA in the movies

The other day I caught Resident Evil: Extinction on cable. I figure since it had Milla Jovovich, guns and zombies it was win-win. In the movie, Milla carries two Para Ordinance LDA pistols.

This site and Kerby from Para confirmed. Other movies featuring ParaUSA firearms. In other news, there is actually a Wiki set up for firearms seen in movies.

Your Daily Dose of Mexico

Or pantalones mierda histeria

Despite being thoroughly debunked, the Mexican Gun Canard continues:

Fox News already debunked the claim that 90% of the guns involved in Mexico’s drug war come from the United States. Facts aside, the press onslaught continues in a new push for gun control.

The fact is that out of 29,000 firearms picked up in Mexico over the last two-year period for which data is available, 5,114 of the 6,000 traced guns came from the United States. While that is 90% of traced guns, it means that only 17% of recovered guns come from the United States civilian market.

UPI and the Departement of Homeland Security are still parroting the line.

The Paper of making up the Record chimes in too.

Like craigslist for guns

Armslist. Note I have not used it and that’s not an endorsement. Looks like it’s just taking off.

Tea Party

BTW, I can’t make it to the K-town event as I am at a secure and undisclosed location. But if I were going, I’d probably have this sign:

Update: Your moment of crazy: Some believe that a new era of elightened blissful liberalism will dawn with the blood of the innocent spilled on the steps of Legislative Plaza

I guess if the Tea Parties can drive some on the left that insane, they must be doing something right.

A thought

If I showed up at a Tea Party protest with a sign that said something to the effect of Funny how Republicans support limited government when they’re not in power, how do you think that would go over?

Is that gun legal in California?

An online guide.

Addition

I’m a bit bummed. See, a few weeks back, I had to get rid of my dog. I’m sad to say that Politically Incorrect Dog is no longer a part of the Uncle family. No worries about his well-being or anything like that. He’s found himself a good place and, per updates we receive, he’s doing quite well and is happy.

The reason he left was that, well, he was too much dog for two small kids. His attempts at getting affection and play were a bit on the reckless side. And he was clearly jealous of the amount of attention the kids received. I did not think for a minute that he’d intentionally harm my children but that he might do so inadvertently. He was corrected for the behavior yet it continued. And, well, with little ones around, there is no room for mistakes.

So, I delivered him to the nice lady who would be his new home. When I dropped him off, I cried. A lot. It’s a tough thing after you’ve had a dog for seven years. But leave it to Junior to add some levity to the situation. As I was leaving with him, she said So, can we get a kitty now? We’re undecided on the cat. She wants one but me and the Mrs. are not cat people.

Anyway, the Mrs. wanted a new dog. I was wanting to wait a bit. She was pretty insistent on getting a dog. And we know how that goes. We opted for a more docile animal. Meet Flash:

From Home Life

Only had him for a few days. Two and a half (ish) year old Bassett hound. A rescue, of sorts. Talk about extremes. I’m not used to having a dog that lounges around all the time. And in terms of obedience training, he has none.

Ron Paul on Pirates

Politico:

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and a growing number of national security experts are calling on Congress to consider using letters of marque and reprisal, a power written into the Constitution that allows the United States to hire private citizens to keep international waters safe.

Used heavily during the Revolution and the War of 1812, letters of marque serve as official warrants from the government, allowing privateers to seize or destroy enemies, their loot and their vessels in exchange for bounty money.

Or we could just mount a 50 cal on boats. Seems that’d work wonders on a rubber raft.

Knowing v. feeling

An admission:

The difference in this debate is that I have been arguing on the basis of what I believe to be true, and doing my best to explain why I believe it. Kevin, by way of contrast, claims to be able to literally ‘prove’ his case beyond any doubt whatsoever by recourse to detailed statistical data.

Well, yeah. And he did.

Hardware

Cache of World War 2 era machine guns found in a ditch in Alabama.

No doubt, it was heading to Mexico.

The Evil Gun Lobby

The Washington Post blames the gun lobby. Water still wet.

SayUncle: Potential terrorist

More on the aggressive use of the label terrorist with respect to political views.

And so the lefties don’t feel left out. Oh, except that’s not real.

Update: I guess the Texas Governor might be a terrorist too!

Update: Indiana legislature too!

More flashlight blogging – deal alert

Via a thread at ar15.com on flashlight advice, comes word of a 200 lumen flashlight at Home Depot for $25.

Fark with the snark

Heh: IRS claiming to see large rise in income tax delinquencies, people listing “Obama Administration Cabinet Member” as their occupation

Ides of April

It’s a big day.

It’s tax rage day.

Buy a gun day.

And I hear there are some protests going on. Details for the one in Knoxville here.

Sadly, I’ll only be participating in the first one.

on the news

John Lott interviewed on CSPAN.

Mexico and guns

I’m guessing the anti-aircraft machine gun that fires 800 round per minute came from a US gun show?

Hillary Clinton says so.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
