That’s not a tactical car. That’s a tactical car.

NRA Files Suit Against Wilmington Housing Authority:

The National Rifle Association filed suit today against the Wilmington, Delaware Housing Authority in the case Jane Doe v. Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA). The case centers around the WHA’s unconstitutional gun ban amongst its tenants, which denies these public housing residents their Second Amendment rights.

In Chicago, a man armed with a pistol breaks into the home of an 80 year-old man. The 80 year-old man introduces the home invader’s insides to the outside. This could not have happened since handguns are banned in Chicago.

Prosecutor fired for speaking at Tea Party rallies.

In PA:

House Bill 2536, introduced by state Rep. Bryan Lentz, D-161, of Swarthmore, would amend the current carry law that allows residents to carry a firearm through a license or permit issued by another state, regardless of whether Pennsylvania recognizes the right of those state’s residents to carry a gun in the commonwealth.

Looks like their coal-powered cars have sold out before production has begun.

Man buys property surrounding retirement community because builder was delinquent on taxes. Seeks to charge residents $80K for access to property.

cheekfat.

Some are even hipsters, apparently.

The Philadelphia weekly shockingly reports that gun owners come in a variety of flavors.

Their CEO is linked to a gun control group in the same way that I am linked to Kevin Bacon. But they still haven’t taken their signs down, though they said they would.

So, the troops heading to the border appear to be going there to keep things from getting into Mexico. Not to keep people and things from getting into the US. So, yeah, who is in charge?

An answer to the question posed yesterday about why, despite all the breakthroughs reported in the press, we don’t really see much.

Former Glock superstar will now be a S&W superstar.

CNN discovers what a lot of gunnies have been yammering on about for years: ATF’s retaliation against its own employees who dare complain.

The new AK prototype that Russia is looking into I mentioned yesterday can be seen here. Add rails, folding stock, and what looks like a gas regulator and voila.

Jay is reviewing some LA Police Gear stuff.

Entry level bolt guns.

Man busted with unregistered machine gun. The interesting part:

A Port Angeles police detective said he had determined that the trigger had been grinded, filed and polished to allow the hammer to contact the firing pin multiple times by pulling the trigger once.

The trigger? I can see the disconnecter but not the trigger. And, correct me if I am wrong, it would also require a different bolt carrier.

I do love my tactical car. But the new 2011 Ford Mustang V6 is looking to be pretty sharp. Hits 306hp and 31 MPG! It’s a coupe, so no good for us family guys. But those are impressive stats. Granted, HP is a subjective measure but folks are putting its 0 to 60 times at about 5.5, which is about what my G37 does, and it rates at 28MPG and 328HP. So, no more leaving them in the dust.

At 0:47.

Calderon calls for banning the most popular rifles in America. And gets a standing ovation from the one side of the aisle.

USA Today:

Airline passengers who get frustrated and kick a wall, throw a suitcase or make a pithy comment to a screener could find themselves in a little-known Homeland Security database.

The Transportation Security Administration says it is keeping records of people who make its screeners feel threatened as part of an effort to prevent workplace violence.

Sigh. How long before someone looks to deny civil rights because you were rude to a TSA agent who was busy cupping your balls?

Switching weapons but keeping the caliber won’t solve the alleged issues you’re having with the M4.

Tom has another discussion wondering why the Libertarian position on property rights trumps the civil rights act:

So why do libertarians (Paul is only the most recent, but far from alone in doing so) pick on something as taboo as the Civil Rights Act? Because it’s an anathema to their political philosophy.

Simple: because property rights are core to the philosophy. And they are important. But if you’re running for office, it’s kinda dumb to come out against it because people aren’t generally smart enough to see past the icky part about allowing or disallowing folks in a business. And it’s just not popular.

The obvious comparison is the whole pragmatic gun rights folks vs. the SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED crowd. Sure, in theory, I agree with the latter but, politically, it’s not going to happen that way. And the coming Libertarian revolution (which, despite predictions it’s been coming for years, has never showed up) is not going to come along by coming out and saying that you don’t dig the civil rights act, no matter how noble your intentions.

It’s a marketing problem.

Then Tom pulls this boner:

But according to libertarianism (sic), such problems aren’t supposed to exist. According to them, all such problems can and will be resolved by market forces, not by the “heavy hand” of the government, and these problems will actually be resolved in a better way by those market forces.

This brings us to the other issue with Libertarianism. Where does Libertarianism state problems won’t exist? Or that the market is a cure all? The gist of Libertarianism is let the market do what it does. And therein is the rub for a lot of folks. It’s difficult for folks to accept that a political philosophy does not claim, nor necessarily want, to cure all the ills in the world. And that’s also why Libertarianism doesn’t rally catch on. You meet someone, discuss Libertarianism with them and they’re all cool with the end the drug war and lower taxes stuff. But when you tell them that you’d end Social Security and Medicare, that you’d let gay dudes get married, people should own machine guns, and let the banks run amok, then you lose them. People like the cool parts of Libertarianism but not that other icky stuff that goes with it.

Short version: people agree with Libertarianism on paper. But not as a practical application.

Dennis Hennigan notes that Calderon lies for us all.

Daley on gun control: Serious or just a show? Well, it is an entertaining show watching him froth at the mouth.

No cure for cancer:

Every few days we see a story about a new treatment that is a promising cure for some disease or halts aging. These aren’t from tabloid newspapers or websites. These are from respected scientific publications.

So if all these “breakthroughs” keep occurring, where are the results?

Some pics of Crimson Trace stuff over at Caleb’s.

That’s one headline. I think I’d have opted for another.
