Or so I hear:

From Gun Porn

Soon, internet fanboys will want them.

Looks like the 9mm may have had issues with the recoil spring. Les Jones sums it up.

Joe Huffman on the recent successes of the gun rights movement:

We had some luck and I think our opponents made some stupid blunders. I would like to think that luck and opponent blunders were not required but when I think about those dark days I can’t help but believe things could have ended up very differently if only a couple key battles had gone the other way.

The NSSF:

The Illinois Association of Firearms Retailers (ILAFR), a state affiliate of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade association for the firearms industry – has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of several recently adopted anti-gun laws designed to circumvent last week’s Supreme Court ruling in McDonald v. Chicago.

NRA has a press release announcing their support.

A look at the complaint.

Story here. My understanding is that the AZ law mimics federal law except that, you know, the state will actually enforce it. Seems to me that part of the fed’s case would be admitting that they do a crappy job of enforcing the law and that they do so for a reason.

Yesterday, I noted the Paper of making up the Record going on about Utah and their evil gun laws. And it looks like the other biased Washington paper got the same memo.

The Geek is likely right:

I think the difference is that this time, post Heller/McDonald, they smell the inevitable “full faith and credit” play for universal reciprocity coming, and so positioning buckets of poison near the wells is in their interest.

Whatever happened to hack and fraudster Michael Bellisiles, well he’s a teacher and his students notice a trend:

Useless. The man tries to re-write history so that it agrees with his views. I like history; I don’t like revisionism. I heard he was forced out of his previous institution for some sort of academic fraud.

Well, old habits die hard.

Via Breda, Paul Helmke does not approve of Lady Gaga’s choice of bra:

“The music was fine, but I wonder why they went out of their way to glorify guns in their production,” the campaign’s president, Paul Helmke, wrote on its website. “Beyond the sexual stereotype of guns in general, it’s hard to understand why they are in the video at all.”

Obviously, she’s compensating for the size of her penis.

The Chicago Sun Times cries in its beer over McDonald.

Annoy the fan boys, and they find you. Via Tam. Good thing he didn’t mention HK.

Denny Henny seem to like her because she has a fondness for the collective rights mythology:

And thus Elena Kagan made it clear that the Roberts Court, in its Heller ruling, had defied Supreme Court precedent (the 70-year-old Miller decision) – a hallmark of judicial activism. Ms. Kagan recognized in her testimony that Heller “is the law” and “is entitled to all the precedent that any decision is entitled to . . .” No doubt the irony has not escaped her that Heller “is the law” only because it showed no respect whatsoever for established precedent.

The Heller and McDonald decisions both defied precedent (to say nothing of the plain text of the Second Amendment) in fashioning a new right to be armed in the home for self-defense. Fortunately, and paradoxically, both rulings establish the foundation for the continued constitutionality of gun control laws that will make it harder for dangerous people to get guns, while still allowing gun ownership by law-abiding and responsible adults.

There was no supreme court precedent and to say so is bogus. In fact, you guys scrubbed reference to that lie from your own page.

BTW, Denny, you’re off the narrative. It’s supposed to be Heller was good because it takes gun bans off the table.

Another sale: Brownells has five AR-15 mags for $50.

Look, I know the HS2000 err Springfield XD is a fine pistol and all that. But I’m sick of seeing it. Every gun magazine has no less than 2,724 ads for it. There’s a big XD. A little XD. An extended XD. One in 40 that’s big. One in 45 that’s bigger.

There’s even one with an M. I don’t know what it is but it shows up every where.

In the last year, they’ve come out with an XD in every size, most popular calibers, different heights, colors, weights, magazines and whatever else.

And every time they shave a fraction of an inch off of one and add a consonant to the end of it, it’s time for a new ad blitz. Everywhere I look, there’s an XD. Enough.

Every few weeks, some paper does a story on how people get Utah carry permits and those are good in over 30 states. It’s that time again.

A bit back, Junior was playing with a water gun. I asked her where she got the water gun and she says we don’t call it a water gun we call it a water shooter because gun is a bad word.

I asked why that was. and where she learned that. She said she didn’t know. I explained to her that gun is not a bad word. And no to believe every thing everyone tells her.

This sort of left me scratching my head, honestly.

The Doc wonders if free will is extinct. Not yet but we are working to kill it. It’s a handy presumption that there’s no free will. Then it’s easy to regulate things since, poor you, you just can’t help yourself.

And if there’s no free will, then nothing is your fault. And that makes you feel better and sort of justifies things for you. It’s not free will that makes you an alcoholic or sex addict or drug addict or just plain irritable. It’s just wired into you. How convenient.

Here in the real world, you do have the freedom to choose. And in the real world, your behavior is not a disease or condition. It’s what you do and you can choose to do it or not.

From the article, though, it seems as though the research is interpreting conditioning (social or otherwise) as a lack of free will. And that is rubbish.

These are delicious. Made some yesterday.
