We mentioned before the administration’s hard-line on assisted opening knives. Now, kniferights.org is looking at the trend of classifying them as switchblades.

When shooting, we usually remember eye and ear protection. But let’s not forget to protect our heads too.

Randy Cohen says we should give women guns to test whether or not the old axiom more guns, less crime is true. Not a plan I endorse. I don’t want to give women guns while forbidding men from carrying them. That’s stupid and sexist. Also, exactly who is going to give them? You footing the bill, Randy? Now, I do favor giving both men and women the choice of armed self-defense. It’s not for everyone and some folks simply don’t want to carry. And I’m not one to force them. I’m pro-choice.

WELL, CHURCHES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT of civil-rights efforts after all

Well, except for that gay marriage thing.

You see Gingrich a lot more.

Getting word Tygard will withdraw guns-in-restaurants bill that sought to pull beer permits of those restaurants that did not post signs prohibiting guns.

The City Paper got word too but they screwed up their Drupal installation.

I’ve mentioned the bill before but I am remiss in mentioning that both the house and senate have passed the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act. This is he bill that, essentially, is a snub to the federal government and its power to regulate everything because everything is incidentally involved in Interstate commerce. But in this particular case, it’s about guns. The bill says that firearms and parts made in Tennessee are not subject to federal law. Given that Tennessee does its own background checks, one might wonder why that matters. Here’s the bill. A couple of other states have passed similar bills and a lot of states have this bill in the works. And the bills, essentially, sets to set up a legal challenge such as what’s happening in Montana.

The interesting thing about Tennessee’s bill is that while it excludes machine guns (as other states’ similar bills have done), it defines sound suppressors as accessories and would exempt them from federal regulations, including the NFA tax and approval.

Or I’m a gun owner but . . .

Rodney Stanley has also never heard of the Heller case.

No kidding. I ordered 1,000 rounds of CCI Subsonic HP. After getting over the price, I was met with Please allow 5-7 weeks for delivery.

The autoegocrat tells his fellow progressive bloggers to have a nice big cup of cool your shit juice:

Maybe, just maybe, if bar patrons in thirty-seven other states are able to resist the urge to get loaded and proceed to go on drunken Wild West-style shooting sprees, the people of Tennessee can, too. Call me crazy, but I have this idea that the people of this state are not fundamentally any different from the people in bordering states, and among our neighbors, only North Carolina prohibits weapons in bars.

More like this please.

I mentioned yesterday the misrepresentation from Doug Pennington that you could count federal gun laws on one hand. Well, here’s a taste of just how voluminous those laws are.

Joe Huffman asks Mayor Nickels if he plans to continue breaking the law.

Listening to the band hand having a good time.

It’s like that time there was a man with a gun at Disney.

In England, a group of thugs threaten some golfers with planks of wood. The thugs want to steal the golf clubs. One problem with their plan is that a seven iron will do a number on a skull. Sounds like all ended happily, right? Wrong. This being England and all, guess who was arrested?

Apparently, David Carradine’s family alleges that he was killed by assassins, even though his death looks like he pulled a Hutchence. Sounds silly. But Squeaky points out that his hands were bound together. That would imply that he had some sort of helper. Or some ninja drew the really, really short straw and had to go kill the guy. Then tie a rope around his wiener. But if a ninja went through the trouble of tying up a dead guy’s Johnson, you’d think that the ninja would have remembered to unbind the hands so it didn’t look like ninjas did it. That, or somewhere the boss ninja is really pissed off. In some boardroom somewhere, I can picture the boss ninja saying Dammit, Larry, if you’d have just remembered to untie his hands, this would have been perfect. Now, we got the heat on us. Bad ninja. No ninja snacks.

But gun pundit has a video of a Serpa holster demonstration by Blackhawk’s Chuck Buis, which is a cool name for someone in the gun industry.
