Can’t buy guns. Can hold a Senate seat.

Felons can’t even shovel snow, apparently.

At 6:17, she has a bra made from AR-15 uppers. Ok, then.

Now, a tactical energy drink.

Paul Helmke is a fan of SCOTUS nominee Kagan.

Apparently, Alaska is also a “shall sign” NFA state, like Tennessee.

Folks are obsessed with Sarah Palin’s breasts. And not in that healthy way.

Journalist held up at gun point.

Man lawfully open carrying is robbed at gun point.

A video game where women shoot men?

Why is that firearm there?

Restaurant carry is now the law.

is that it’s in Alaska.

Wrapping up my trip. The sights and local stuff has been awesome. Loved it. Rode a dog sled, took a boat to a glacier, landed on a glacier in an airplane, seen big ass seals. All kinds of stuff.

But it’s really far away and I miss the wife and kids. And that whole near 20 hours of daylight thing is really screwing me up. I’m looking forward to darkness when I go to bed. I’m like Al Pacino in Insomnia.

So I can’t quite muster any new angst about third parties being dead in Cali.

Stalin era mass grave found. Most shot in the head.

A bit back, a gun company sponsored a soccer team and hippies shit their pants. Now, the hippies like the idea and did the same thing.

When pistols come with tactical spikes?

Support for reform is growing. This is one that bugs me. Shooters, being hardware people, spend more to fund hunting. Hunters spend less. Seems that tax should be on hunting licenses instead. Or, my preference, shouldn’t exist at all.

A look after an AR fires 15K rounds of Wolf ammo.

One of the nerds (they all look the same, you know) has the rules. Reminds me of the 20 no 21 things online debate has taught me.

Questioning NRA’s claims in the McDonald case. I’m a fan of NRA but their push to claim credit in the two big supreme court gun cases is pretty weak.

Update: More here. Seems they are a party to the case but the cases are not consolidated.

CTD has an interview with Millisecond Molly. I had the pleasure of meeting her (and her interviewer for that matter) at GBR. Molly is an awesome shot. I mean, she could smoke me and I’ve smoked the 2009 Indiana State IDPA champion* while at Blackwater. So, I’m no slouch. But, seriously, Molly is good people and she can shoot.

* Note: When she smoked me, I compounded the problem because I’d never shot that sort of match before. And, like an idiot, I volunteered to go first. And the only gun I had was my carry gun and a couple of extra magazines. I should have watched a few folks first but didn’t. So, given I had but a few mags, I’d shoot then have one miss and would have to reload. That added a bit to my time. Note to self: in the future, when shooting steel challenge, load a fresh mag before each string.

In 3d. While I appreciate what it’s for, I have to admit I am not a fan unless you carry one one due to physical limitations (which, by the way, is the point). It doesn’t look like a gun so it’s capacity as a deterrent is limited. You point it at the bad guy and he thinks you just responded with an ear bulb syringe and then you have to shoot him. So, in short, don’t fuck with disabled people who might have one of these.

And how not to shoot one.

And a cool song.

Looks like the show scored 2.1M viewers. That almost bested all of cable news.

The Violence Policy Center googled up another study. This new study says that TN ranks 7th in gun related deaths. MKS takes some issue with it. I am amazed that the press parrots their talking points when time after time, it has been shown what utter bunk the VPC’s alleged studies are.

Bonus quote of the day:

“These people are on the losing side of history,” said Liston Matthews, a Knoxville gun owner who blogs on Second Amendment issues and helped push for passage of Tennessee’s carry permit law in the 1990s.

Wrong side, indeed.

And who is this Liston Matthews? I can’t believe that there’s a gun blogger in Knoxville that I do not know.

Another robber shot with another unlawful handgun in Chicago.

You’re forced to defend your home with a home-made cannon.

All of us were sitting around discussing the latest gizmos and doodads on the NRA floor when it was mentioned that Joe Huffman didn’t really go check out the goodies. To which he responded:

I’m not a hardware person.

Not all gun nuts are into the hardware aspect, I suppose.

Ruger wants some for their Predator556
