A dry ice bomb is a Destructive Device?

How about Mentos in a diet coke?

They are illegal in Knox county. Some want to change that.

The market responds.

ESR ponders what’s next: It seems to me that the next logical target is concealed-carry bans and permit requirements for handguns. This is an issue that affects more Americans than restrictions on long arms or registration requirements, so popular pressure should be easiest to muster here.

Chicago backs off that whole one gun ever nonsense. Opts for one a month. And opts for some odd prohibitions: Instead of one handgun for every qualified person living in a home as planned, it allows “one handgun per month” and prohibits possession outside the home. The garage, yard, porch, deck or walkway would be off-limits.

Other tidbits: only one handgun may be assembled and operable. Requires liability insurance. No gun shops in the city. Prohibitive fees with penalties for additional guns.

If I were a noted second amendment lawyer, I’d be licking my chops right now. Gura does note: please note that many of the rumors and early reports about what it contains are not accurate or vague in potentially misleading ways

If we treated other rights like Daley wants to treat the second amendment.

Larry Correia brings it. I’m still laughing:

Sadly, Russia’s leader would kick our leader’s ass in a fight, and that’s just sad. They’ve got the final boss fight from a Chuck Norris movie and we’ve got Steve Urkel.

There’s more:

Meanwhile, a bunch of left wing hoodlums are burning stuff at the G-20, just like they do. Every. Single. Year. Why is it that the media is so deathly afraid of us right wingers being violent, though we hardly ever are, yet lefties and socialists shut down a city for a week every year and nobody notices because it’s so ho-hum. It’s probably because if a single local Tea-Party got into a mood we could overthrow a small country. My side doesn’t screw around. When we get violent, we go big or we go home. I see your trash can through a store window and raise you a Barrett M-82, hippy.

Guess that answers that.

Finland makes 1mbps broadband a legal right, confirming again the futility of the legal designation of rights. You don’t really have a right to something that must be provided by someone else.

Heh

Over at SCOTUS Blog:

The Second Amendment is itself a reasonable, common-sense gun law – it provides powerful security for a fundamental individual right. Governments contemplating gun regulations out of legitimate concern for public safety may occasionally be reminded of their limits by courts, but good faith actors should find today’s decision no more troubling than any other precedent effectuating basic constitutional limitations. On the other hand, politicians approaching gun regulation as a means of continuing their disagreement with the Constitution’s enumerated policy choice on the subject will discover that doing so carries a price taxpayers do not wish to spend – and ultimately achieves nothing.

NRA opposes Kagan. Well, she did compare them to the KKK.

In comments, from Standard Mischief:

Comments are disabled on all Brady and ProtestEasyGuns videos on YouTube as a matter of policy. Ratings too are disabled. Otherwise they would spend all their wakeful time erasing comments to their videos to keep up the myth that they have real grassroots supporters.

As long as the photo-op scares you

Ahead of G20, Toronto police display “weapons” confiscated from protesters. Trouble is, most weren’t taken from protesters. And some were taken from role-playing fantasy gamers.

Of course, police and the press like to parade around toys and claim they’re weapons all the time. Particularly, airsoft toys.

Kagan vote may be key vote for NRA scoring.

Some gag order.

He’s not a fan civil rights for a black man in Chicago.

A look at four justices voting against your constitutional rights.

And, seen at Kevin’s:

Interestingly enough in the last several years there have been four big SCOTUS cases which IMHO, really define our freedoms and personal liberty Kelo property rights; Citizens United free speech; Heller 2nd amendment and now McDonald.

I hear a lot from liberals about how the right wants to curtail freedoms, we’re fascists yet when I look at where the liberal Justices ruled or dissented in those aforementioned cases I think it’s pretty clear who are the real curtailers of freedom and liberty.

After all when the State can take your property, restrict your political speech and disarm the populace, you really don’t have much left in the way of freedom.

Yes, pretty much.

Another gun control group goes tango-uniform err merges. I guess they think if they keep at it long enough, they’ll have one good one.

A blackpowder, golf-ball mortar.

No doubt drinking the GOA Kool-Aid, RedState’s Erick Erickson seems to have a bug up his ass for NRA. His latest is ZOMG!!!eleven NRA MAY ENDORSE REID. Well, yeah. They tend to have a policy of endorsing candidates who are pro-gun and incumbents. And Reid is both. Harry Reid is also pretty popular being Senate Majority Leader. And is why a lot of gun control bills never make it to the floor. A recent American Rifleman had featured Reid.

I don’t care for Reid’s other politics at all. He’s a porker and I don’t support his overall agenda. But on guns, he’s pretty good.

Squatter pulls assault rifle on homeowner. No way. Assault rifles are banned in Cali.

Work better than public roads.

Guns carved into wooden desks.

Cert granted.

Heh.

Residents encouraged to apply for carry permits.

IRS fails government audit:

According to the report (PDF), the IRS made a variety of accounting errors last year that “could adversely affect the reliability of its financial statements” and result in “duplicate or erroneous refunds.” Among the mistakes were a “failure to record the receipt of a taxpayer’s $3 million payment” and an $8 billion discrepancy between two accounting systems tracking how much money taxpayers owe. The audit also found a $5.1 billion “unexplained variance” between the total amount the agency took in last year and the amount its detailed tax files said it took in.

Maybe they can blame their accounting software?
