In the UK, having an heirloom from WW2 gets you five.

Man in Utah executed via firing squad. Is it humane?

They made one for their magazines:

Man dressed in women’s clothing attempts to rob store with caulk gun. Flees scene with a transgendered prostitute. Ok, then.

But I consider myself to be one of those who subscribes to the belief that their views and opinions are just as valuable as the views and opinions of media professionals who have the benefit of editors, producers, fact checkers and years of experience.

Single handed operation of AK?

Mr. C. tells you what it’s all about.

We get letters.

A reader:

I’ve been interested in buying a WWII era rifle, and having shot a Mauser, I’m interested in getting one, thought mainly because the one’s I see are cheaper than a Garand.

My biggest exposure to such is through the ad for Mitchell’s Mausers in the assorted NRA mags.

Would you be kind enough to point me to an authority on Mausers and whether Mitchell’s offerings are a fair deal? http://www.mauser.net/

If this isn’t too much trouble, I appreciate it. If it is, please let me know. Thanks.

Tam pokes fun at the internet commandos.

Starts off cute. But cats and dogs unrestrained wondering the streets, coupled wild animals who aren’t too afraid of suburban life is a recipe for some bad stuff:

Trying to figure out what the cat was doing with the fawn and then with mom. Things were going well for the cat until it swatted mom.

In Missouri:

The signs barring the carrying of concealed weapons inside Schnucks quietly came down earlier this month — more than six years after they first went up in the grocery chain’s Missouri stores following the passage of a state law allowing individuals to carry concealed weapons.

Lori Willis, a Schnucks spokeswoman, said the company’s policy change came about during a routine review of its policies.

Schnucks has not barred weapons in four other states — Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee — where the company has stores and where there are concealed-carry laws on the books. And there haven’t been any problems in those states, she said.

Insty’s father in law:

when they want to raise taxes, it’s always for teachers and firemen — but when they actually get the money, it goes to buy leather chairs for guys you’ve never heard of who work downtown.

Keeping your license to carry next to your carry gun.

Another statement from NRA. Guess they’re getting the message that folks are not fans of this.

Engadget has a preview.

It sorta faded a way for a while. But MSNBC is bringing it back.

Bloggasm catches up with Carlos Miller.

Feeling antsy about the coming civil rights victory regarding the Chicago gun ban, the local officials have plan b:

“Much of the reason gun dealers haven’t opened shop is because is because if they were to do so, as soon as someone were to purchase a handgun and take it out of the shop, they would be in violation of the city’s ordinance and subject to arrest,” Georges said.

She said the city could ban firearms dealers altogether or make gun shops subject to extremely tight regulations with requirements such as reporting what kind of guns they are selling and to whom they are selling them, perhaps even requiring such reports daily.

Bacon.

Celebrate Diversity with colored bacon.

And fingerlicking. Well, if it was bacon flavored, I’d probably paint mine.

Heh:

It’s the NRA’s government, we just all have to live under it. And that apparently is accepted fact for everyone, including the traditional media.

Totally clueless.

Sebastian asks.

I answered a bit back. Though today, I have a new holster.

I thought NRA was arm of the Republican party. But Henigan says Democrats turned power over to NRA. And he calls for “Progressives” to take a stand.

PPK and some knives

Big brother:

Doctors are preparing to share information on gun owners with police so they can flag up patients who could be a danger to themselves or others.

A look at a Sig 228 after 10,000 rounds.

The tide is turning.

And consensus is science! Oh, wait:

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change misled the press and public into believing that thousands of scientists backed its claims on manmade global warming, according to Mike Hulme, a prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider. The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was “only a few dozen experts,” he states in a paper for Progress in Physical Geography, co-authored with student Martin Mahony.

Tam: Like a really big banana republic.

Of course not. He was on the list.
