Amusing
I got a kick out of some one saying my little girl’s pink AR-15 is not even really amusing. Because if there’s one thing someone who uses Japanimation to tell nerd-themed stories understands, it would be what’s amusing.

the new president of HK is aware of how they’re perceived, and are actively working on how to improve their image, through better customer service, attitude, and availability of cool stuff.
Well, here’s hoping. Speaking of HK, pics of the MP7. And pricing and pics of the HK556. And heh.
You know, to collect taxes. People are not amused. The firearm blog has a picture of the shotgun.
It is here:
NRA’s solitary goal in McDonald is to ensure that our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms applies to every law-abiding American in every state. We are hopeful that the Court will share our view that the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment clearly intended to apply the Second Amendment to the states.
A worthy goal, no doubt. Some folks, however, have questioned the strategy here.
UK University of Kentucky grad student suing after he was fired for having a gun in his car.
edited for confusion.
Why, just yesterday it was the Bush government making everyone scared of terrorists. Meet the new boss.
Content is hard when you’re busy, uhmmkay.
Been busy. How busy? Well busier than either:
A one legged man in an ass-kicking contest.
A three-legged dog trying to take a piss on a frozen lake.
A man whose job it is to dig fly shit out of black pepper (only reference I could come up with that didn’t involve odd numbers of legs).
Anyway, my professional life has suddenly become a bit more, err, involved. And I find myself learning a whole big giant bunch about an industry in a short amount of time, while at the same time being forced to change a long-running company’s methods of operation. While I, as a matter of practice, know how to run a company efficiently, I do not know a damn thing about this particular industry. And while saying you should do x because it’s more efficient is the right call, adjusting that x to an unfamiliar industry is cumbersome.
So, the blogging has been lighter, taken less effort, and is done the night before. It’s actually 9:45pm yesterday that I am typing this. With a glass of Scotch in hand watching the cats fight like they always do after the kids and wife go to bed. And all those other posts for today were written even before that. Except the shake weight one. Which I wrote after but moved to the bottom hoping my wife won’t see it. And a joke she probably hasn’t gotten yet and will be mad about in the morning once she realizes what I meant. Oh, and that Miculek DVD that I haven’t watched yet, you’ve already seen my brief review.
Maybe my normal, real time, breaking news type blogging will kick in soon. Or maybe not. What do you care? It’s free.
And, while I appreciate your help, yeah, I know, I make typos and type faster than I think so the grammar may leave some to be desired. And I forgot a link or something. And I’m glad you take time out of your day to tell me. But, nothing personal, it’s not just you who tells me. It’s you and ten to thirty other people. So, for me, just deal with it. I mean if it’s an error that is just patently fucking out there and is a colossal fuck up, fine. Tell me. But minuscule bullshit no one cares about, stop. I’m busy.
I mentioned the upcoming release and linked the trailer earlier. Well, I watched the first DVD. So, for those who expressed doubt because all the gun shooting media you see is some super star showing you how bad ass he is, I’ll tell you it’s not like that. I watched the first DVD (available from Brownells later – believe it or not, gun blogging has a perk or two). I was impressed. Once you got passed the 10 minutes of legalese because lawyers have decided that guns can kill you, it’s quite good. Discusses equipment needed and safety.
Then, it gets into some good meat. Such as the parts of the AR-15 and what modifications Jerry makes and doesn’t make (the latter I found more interesting, frankly) to his competition AR-15s. And Jerry’s information on how and why he sights in his AR-15 alone is worth the price of admission. At least I thought so.
Firearms Freedom Act hits Utah. As I’ve said, good for symbolism but not so good for effectiveness.
Video proof. Giving guns to kids is stupid. Technology can fail. That, in addition to it’s actual mechanical failure.
My wife actually bought a Shake Weight. Obviously, she’s unfamiliar with me making fun of it on the internet or she would not have bought one. I told her that she could try the shake weight exercise one night and the next night we could try my slightly modified work out and compare results.
They agreed to provide infiltrating agent with protection. Then, when the agent said it wasn’t good, they withdrew all protection and bad guys who were infiltrated burned his house down. Probably the first time ATF has been involved in a case with a fire in which they didn’t burn the house down.
Available from Brownells. I look forward to watching this. Also available from Bang Incorporated. Here’s the trailer:
The latest is Vltro (whose stocks I love and recommend) suing Magpul over its ACS stock.
Recently, it has been reported that the Tennessee Department of Safety has revoked an instructor license because the license, which had been issued and renewed for many years based on the same training program, is no longer recognized as an “approved school” based on a recent interpretation of the regulations by a staff person at DOS.
A summary here. Some pro-gun bills like restaurant carry, felony conviction for publishing HCP data, expanded park carry (no opt out), and expansion of carry to wildlife areas.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
