I usually do. And here’s why. Seems a shooter was robbed of his AR-15 while at the shooting range.

Geez, it’s like everyone Obama doesn’t like is racist. Only this time, he’s right.

Guav:

The side I want to win is too fucking stupid to arm themselves. If there’s ever a left/right civil war, progressives will lose

As I said before:

I think it’s a good thing for liberals to arm themselves and, frankly, I am not concerned what their particular reason or come to the pro-gun-Jesus moment is. I don’t care if you’re arming yourself to defend against right wing militias, rabid hippies, bigfoot, or to prevent friendly fire from wayward members of the Earth Liberation Front and the People’s Front of Judea. I’m just glad they’re seeing the value and self-reliance inherent in doing for themselves. As such, I welcome them into the gunny fold.

Championing gun rights in key races. Good.

Here. You probably saw most of those here already.

Otherwise, I find gun locks to be totally useless. Even if they’re free. Interestingly, someone in comments actually suggests that we not educate our kids about guns. I guess we should act like they don’t exist. And do the same with sex and drugs too, I suppose? What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like they’re taking applications for contestants for season 2. I know this because they decided to spam my blog yesterday in an off topic post. Instead of in my post talking about how I didn’t care for the show. Probably means I shouldn’t try out.

EIGHT AWESOMELY BAD SHOOTING TIPS

Les Jones has thoughts on using a flashlight with a handgun.

This is the greatest use of slow motion ever. Ever.

Heh.

So says Daily Kos:

Imagine, if you will, two groups of political activists.
Group A is organized. Group A works their butts off making calls and knocking on doors. Group A gives lots of money to their PAC.
Group B is none of these things. Group B doesn’t really have an organization. Individual members of Group B work hard in politics, and give money, but not through Group B per se.

OK, thought experiment: which group will have more influence on elected politicians? I think the answer is obvious.

And, of course, NRA can mobilize its members. Unlike other groups, who don’t actually have any.

In the last few weeks, I’ve lost my tactical pen and my multi-tool. I need a tactical purse.

I’m sold on the TacPen. Anyhoo, any recommendations on a new multi-tool? Anything wizbang tactical come out since the skeletool?

7th circuit upholds ban on possession of firearms by people previously convicted of domestic violence.

My favorite anarcho-capitalist:

All over this country, countless times, I have seen the complete lapse of reason among walking & talking vegetables who almost look like real humans except for that vacuum in their eyes which signals their raw touchy-feely nerves poking out in the wind. They fright like children in a kindergarten room at the least sign of dispute, and they do not have minds to lose anymore. All they have are sensations which never reach their cognitive centers except on the most basic levels of something like “hunger/microwave” or “boredom/channel-remote”.

The R in NRA doesn’t stand for Republican.

My cats tend to stay clear of the hardware.

Well, for me anyway. If you want the play by play, Les has it. I was only watching it beyond the first episode because I know Caleb. And for the shooty goodness. Frankly, the show was kinda ho-hum. They could do two eliminations per show, double the people and that would mean more shooty goodness. But it’s about 85% drama, 15% shooty. And, frankly, makes the shooters look like a bunch of crybabies.

But not Caleb. Caleb did the right thing, I thought. Caleb came across as the better man and Adam came across as a whiny little, prison-bred bitch with his talk of rat-finks. Caleb never agreed to join his little club and was not obligated to them. Adam thinks Adam’s backstabbing and conniving is OK. Being called out on it, not so much. And his third grade jokes were all class. Fuck that guy.

As to the shooty goodness, the challenge was pretty cool. And quite the nail biter. And it was close.

I’m done watching it because Caleb is out. Didn’t care for the format.

Caleb talks about it here.

NRA says booga booga!

Shocking email shows Erick Erickson doesn’t know dick about gun laws.

Chris Cox:

The N.R.A. is not tamping down speculation. While Mr. Cox said the group had not decided on any endorsements, he pointed to what he considered an unattractive alternative if Mr. Reid loses and the Democrats hold power. “I’ll give you four words: Majority Leader Chuck Schumer,” he said.

That sounds familiar. Reader Mike is getting quoted and stuff.

Update: More from Sebastian.

In Oakland, a list of 44 crimes the police will no longer respond to.

May take 5 1/2 months to get a gun permit.

Lower demand for gun permits in VA. I guess the Obama gun rush is coming to an end.
