John Richardson interviews the plaintiffs in the Westchster NY second amendment case.

Seen in the wild.

The answer is no.

I do agree. If you’re too dangerous to own a gun then you’re too dangerous to be free.

Product Review: Tactical Underwear

Mentioned how the quality of underwear has slacked off in recent years. I guess the Pakistani kids they pay to sew them up are having some quality control issues. Anyway, I snagged some of these. The package says something to the effect of: 17 countries, 6 weeks, one pair of underwear. I’ll pass on wearing them for six weeks. Or even more than a day. But nice to know I could, I guess. But so far, I’m impressed. The pros: Quality, lightweight and snug. The con: expensive. $25 for some underoos is steep.

Russell Simmons: Mr. President, If You Don’t Come Out Fighting, You’ll Not Only Lose Elections, But Respectfully, Also Your Soul

A bill in congress would exempt firearms from claims by creditors in case of bankruptcy. So, I could convert some assets to expensive NFA weapons, file bankruptcy and profit. Ok, that wouldn’t work. My only debt is my house and you get to keep that. I could see someone trying something like that though.

However, I don’t inherently have a problem with the logic. After all, other items are exempted for legitimate reasons. Cars so you can travel, for instance. Gun so you can defend yourself doesn’t seem that out of line.

The Violence Policy Center and The Brady Campaign quickly marched lockstep with the talking point that someone going through bankruptcy is more likely to be stressed and start killing people. There’s no proof of that, they just say it.

Of course, I guess they’d both know a bit about the mindset of someone facing bankruptcy.

Les Jones says knives are the new guns. And before that, cameras were.

Not even seeds.

Sad:

A wedding photographer in Sicily was accidentally killed when he asked the prospective bride and groom to pose for a picture using hunting rifles as props – and one of them went off.

Mr. C. is worried that attendance will be low for the Gun Blogger Rendezvous. So, if you plan on going, get to registering. It’s always a good time.

The editor of the local news rag is butthurt because someone “ripped off” one of their stories. Only, not so much stole a story. The blogger just has better search engine results, after quoting the story that appeared on the newspaper’s site. Newspaper responds by actually stealing the offending blogger’s photo. That being real stealing. As opposed to quoting and linking, which happens a lot on the internet. Or so I hear.

The number of times the press reportedly steals a story from a blogger without credit is apparently quite high.

I do find these examiner pages a bit odd, though. There are a lot of them and apparently search engines treat it like a news source.

Heard of large people getting kicked off planes. But now, they kicked off a skinny person to make room for a fat person.

Commanding officer: So, did you get him?
Soldier: Yes, sir.
Commanding officer: Are you sure?
Soldier: Yes, sir.
Commanding officer: How sure?
Soldier: Well, his head is in this bag I got here.

A shift:

With the mid-terms looming large in a year where incumbents are expected to take a beating at the polls many Democratic candidates are favoring gun rights, aiming to win endorsements or positive ratings from pro-2nd amendment groups.

Gun control these days is less along party lines and more regional.

My kids would love that.
