If this keeps up, expect others to think threats of violence are a good idea.

From Billy Beck:

In any case, however, whole generations have gone down under the rampant delusion that the sources of life spring from everything but individual human productivity: they believe that government can steal for them forever.

It takes the coordination of 9 agencies to arrest 8 people for weed. At a 420 festival. Really? I’d think you could just show up and find someone.

With a blowgun.

Thirteen year old points fingers at teacher and says ‘pew pew’. Charged with terroristic threat.

In VA, with NRA’s guidelines.

A push for a biometric social security card? The ACLU:

We think that card would quickly spread to other purposes, from voting to gun ownership to travel, and it will really be a permission slip for participating in American life.

Well, the shrieking doesn’t work. So, they gotta try something.

The TFA is not planning on going along with it.

It works against them.

Also, kinda funny, but after the all-out Brady assault, Starbucks sales up 7%. Heh.

ETA: Turns out, Starbucks sales are actually down. They spun it as “comparable store” sales even though overall sales were down. But they had closed quite a few stores. Their total US revenue for QE 12/09 was $1,934.9M. For March 10, it was $1,820.1M. That is not a 7% increase in sales.

Even the hippies carry guns here.

John Snow on the non-traditional lever gun:

I never did understand the wails of despair from the traditionalists when the first lever guns came out with stainless metal and laminate stocks.

Now, they even come with rails.

Mountain goat at 943 yards with 300RUM. You can see the round’s vapor trail and drop.

In abuse case.

CO Arms 1911s

S&W Pro Series 9mm 1911

Couple of old Colts

An interesting take. The big leaked iPhone post generated tons of hits and traffic. Yet no real money.

Bacon. Every month. Delivered to your door.

Well, I don’t.

General sense of the iPad is that it’s pretty cool. But other stuff does what it does better. And probably cheaper.

ESR:

It’s a triumph of style over substance, cool over utility, form over actual function.

Les Jones has a round up.

Go away.

A sneak peak at the first one they’ve made in 91 years.

Limited supply of 700 Short Action Receivers

Fine device just needs a decent OS: Running Android on an iPhone.

Hardheadball: will pro-gun rallies lead to violence?

Last night, we had another quake. That’s two in two days. I slept through the second one, though.

Rusty talks with a custom 1911 maker in West Tennessee:

While CO Arms is small (they employ about seven people in the shop), they are far from inexperienced. Tom estimates they have over 200 years of machine shop experience between them. The operation began as a gunsmithing/customization business, but when they ran into poor production standards from their suppliers, they decided they could do it all in house, and better.

Cool video.

Only works when getting a job. The “turbo tax did it” line doesn’t seem to work in court.

Reader Cyrus asks:

what are the features you would want in a shot timer on a phone?

I am working on learning to program in andriod, and i think this would be a good project.
