Colorado Springs police to sell confiscated guns.

The local alt weekly polls local bar owners on if they let law-abiding gun owners carry there. They have an article on it here.

You’ll recall that MSNBC showed a guy with a gun at a rally. Well, they showed is gun but not him and this is important for later. Said people with guns were probably white racists who didn’t care for Obama. Trouble was, the guy they showed was black but you wouldn’t know that since it was edited out. The showed his black gun though. Now, MSNBC has responded:

Contessa was speaking generally and not about that specific person with the automatic weapon.

Generally? So, you were assigning stereotypes to a broad group of people? Supposedly trying to address bigotry in this country while being bigoted yourself seems to lessen your point. It’s OK, they’re only gun owners.

And, of course, it wasn’t an automatic weapon.

The press coverage of threats to Obama compared to threats v. Bush.

Heck, the press is covering non-threats more vigorously.

At subguns, the question is can you put a short barreled 410 shotgun upper receiver on your lawfully registered short barreled lower receiver?

See what gunnies have to put up with?

Fun on the range

A point made here before but opposition to gay marriage is tied to age:

If people over 65 in each state made the laws, 0 states would have gay marriage; if people under 30 made the laws, 38 states would have gay marriage.

Dave Kopel looks at the 7th circuit ruling regarding registration of firearms:

That portion of the decision has very little reasoning; it simply says that Cicero (unlike D.C., in Heller) does not ban guns. Ergo, the Cicero registration law is constitutional.

Police officer fires 19 rounds at suspect. No hits.

Makes me hungry.

Looks like there’s some sort of protest scheduled in Knoxville. The Blount County Democrats (both of them) plan on counter protesting.

From the horse’s, err, well you know:

Wal-Mart and the bi-partisan coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns have announced that Wal-Mart, the largest seller of firearms in the nation, has adopted the new Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership, a 10-point code that will help ensure that guns do not fall into the wrong hands.

And if you buy a gun, you’re on video. You can contact WalMart at:

Apparently, this happened back in 2008. I don’t recall hearing about it.

Matt Welch:

Remember when National Rifle Association President Wayne LaPierre’s Godwin’s Law comment about “jackbooted government thugs” was the worst thing ever?

I think Wayne was quoting Dingell. Aside from that, read the whole bit on accusations of intimidation.

Whenever someone asks me why I need more than ten rounds in a magazine, I say what’s need got to do with it. And, you know, because feral dogs travel in packs of more than ten.

If you do, you should read this:

Almost no one takes the next step, which makes it the moral duty of anyone carrying openly to be able to retain their weapon against a gun-grab (not a political grab, a REAL, physical, grab). This moral duty EXCEEDS the morality of your right of carry, by the way.

Indeed.

I’ve said before that we’re winning. In light of recent events, Joe asks: Did we just win?

We were definitely successful in getting the anti-gunners to wet themselves. Poor Bryan Miller is even referencing shock troops and begging for money.

Michael:

Off-the-record sessions, such as the ones White House reporters have traditionally attended, are meant to shape the message, not to inform the public. So the next time someone decries the new media, point to the above cozy arrangement as an example of what is getting busted up.

Chris looks at them in ARs:

As far as the other piston rifles go, I just think they’re too expensive for what you’re getting.

A plan: Taking on the Anti-Gun Mayors of Pennsylvania

Meanwhile, in Ohio, another mayor quits Mayor Bloomberg’s coalition upon discovering it really is just an anti-gun group. One of many.

MSNBC edits the video of the black man with a gun at the Obama rally to hide that he’s black. Then yammers about white racists. Then, cue up the white guy.

Oh, internets, is there anything we won’t argue about, no matter how stupid. Such as why your guy more closely resembles a Nazi than my guy.
