Stolen Guns

100 guns stolen from from Tchula police:

Some of those weapons allegedly ended up on the streets of Chicago.

No, those come from gun shows, remember? That’s what they tell us.

We don’t have a plan or anything. But we like talking about it.

That is the plan

WSJ:

Will Gun-Control Case Prompt a Constitutional Reawakening?

A gun review

In the New York Times. Wait, what?

A correction

No, it’s from the Greek Psyche meaning To Make; and ology meaning stuff up.

And archaeology is from the Greek Archae meaning to dig; and ology meaning stuff up.

A win

A conviction based on the Lautenberg bill has been vacated.

Holder wants gun registration?

So says the Law Enforcement Alliance of America:

Holder wants a national, permanent gun registration system administered by law enforcement. A registration of honest citizens that have cleared the federal background check for gun purchases with those records permanently retained by and shared among law enforcement.

Holder wants new federal authority to prohibit any person on the federal watch list (reported to be 400,000 names) from buying guns and supports confiscating guns from those on the list who possess them.

So, he doesn’t want due process protections for people who want to own guns. Even though we give those protections to people who, say, fly planes into buildings.

Update: In comments, David he’s trying to corroborate the story with no luck. Could be bogus since the official transcript contains none of the quotes attributed to Holder.

Another update: Confirmed. See David.

No data loss. If you’re seeing this, you’re here. If not, no point talking to you.

Looks like the drive on the server could tank. So, touch and go here. May lose some data.

It’s an election year

So anti-gunner Chuck Schumer is getting his catering to hunters on.

Guns at The Rendezvous In Memphis

A reader emails me this sign on the door at The Rendezvous in Memphis:

From Misc

Note that it is actually one of the few TCA compliant signs that I have seen. But when you walk inside, you see:

From Misc

Ok, then. A place I won’t eat.

Air travel and weapons

I was always amazed that TSA would take my nail clippers or pocket knife. Then, when I’d get on the plane, the flight attendant would hand me a can of beer or soda or juice. A can I could empty then tear open to make a bladed weapon. And I have also, when flying, made certain to keep in my carry on bag a bar of soap and a pair of socks. You know, just in case some one gets a case of crazy or Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Put soap in sock, hit, repeat. Sure, it’s not whiz-bang tacticool but one smack upside the noggin and it’s coloring books for Christmas.

Apparently the geniuses at the American Journal of Forensic Medical Pathology figured out that there are weapons all over planes. Like Marko said: Your weapon is that squishy grey mass between your ears—everything else is just a tool.

Update: As The Duck points out in comments, that doesn’t count the various office supplies that are in the bag.

Optic Mount for the M1 Garand

Lyle of UltiMAK has a post over at Joe’s place showing his new rail optic mount for Garands. Cool.

Rule Four

Be sure of your target and what’s behind it. Tragic.

Unpossible

A lot of shootings in NY lately. The NY Daily News has been calling it a gun plague. A gun plague? No way. Carrying guns there is illegal. It’s easier to call it a gun plague than, you know, a black teenager plague. Which we can’t talk about. Because we’d be racist. Also why we can’t talk about Sudden Jihdad Syndrome.

Even better than blaming guns. Blame chicken. Maybe it’s a chicken plague?

In comments, Guav:

Lots of unpossibles here in just the last two months:

Bronx Girl, 15, Shot In Head By Stray Bullet
Teen Pulls BB Gun On Cops, Gets Shot In The Face
Drive-By Shooting On Lorimer Street In Brooklyn
Bronx Student Shot Outside High School
Brooklyn Teen Fatally Shot Outside Brownsville High School
Stray Bullet Kills 92-Year-Old Bronx Woman In Her Home, Teen Arrested
Teen Shot Dead In Flatbush Coffee Shop
13-Year-Old Queens Boy Fatally Shot in After-School Fight
Bronx Mom Killed In Afternoon Gang Shootout
Brooklyn Drive-By Shooting Leaves 2 Dead, 1 Wounded

Maybe instead of banning guns, Bloomberg should just ban Brooklyn and the Bronx. Or teenagers.

No real point in having a trial if he’s going to be detained even if acquitted.
