U.S. State Department Celebrates U.N. Gun Destruction Event

Radley Balko at some point moved to our state. He looks at the blue laws. Wait until you want a bottle on Sunday, when you should be in church. And, in the event you want to go to the porn store on Sunday, same thing.

Also, he will discover that he can’t get mixers at the liquor store. Liquor stores can only sell things with alcohol in them.

They’re running an ad opposing her nomination.

Not been a fan of McDonald’s. But I may stop and get some today.

Your facts, reason, and successful litigation strategy are no match for our dick jokes. It is interesting that he admits he’s losing but, nonetheless, is obligated to vainly hurl a few insults as the door starts to slam shut on those who oppose civil rights.

Mr. Markley’s obsession with penis size is curious. My gun doesn’t compensate for the size of my penis. It compensates for the fact I cannot throw a rock at 1,200 feet per second.

At least the sore losers are consistent and don’t just apply sexual stereotypes to women.

Via Joe, who notes the guy doth protest too much.

A bit back, I caved and bought an iPod. Because my car is set up for one. Integrates nicely with the stereo. I decided to put a few movies we’d taken on vacations on there so I’d have them if someone wanted to see them.

But you know what an iPod classic won’t do? Play .mov files. Yes, their hardware won’t play their file format.

Fail.

Need a good camera. Trouble with ours is that it takes good enough pictures but it’s slow to reload. This is a problem since we spend a lot of time taking photos of Junior doing gymnastics. You snap a pic and by the time our Canon Powershot* gets ready for the next shot, her routine is over. I need one of them semi-automatic assault cameras.

The wife pestered someone who would know and he recommended the Nikon D5000.

I wanted to see what others folks recommend as well. But I am currently leaning toward the Nikon.

* The Powershot is a fine camera and great because of its small size and excellent picture. But it’s limited in snapping follow up shots.

Update: Price range would be under a grand.

In Texas:

A joint operation between the Laredo Police Department and the Webb County Sheriff’s Office resulted in the seizure 147 fully automatic AK-47 assault rifles, 263 high capacity magazines, 53 bayonets and 10,000 rounds of ammunition on Saturday, May 30 in the border city of Laredo Tx.

In LA, there was a prohibition on carrying a weapon in a church. Now, the property owners decide, as it should be:

Gov. Bobby Jindal gave his blessing this week to churches, synagogues and mosques to allow concealed handguns on their premises, overturning a state ban.

Orlando Sentinel:

If you bought a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson Sigma series pistol in 2004 or 2005, Daytona Beach police want your personal information.

They think it could help them catch a serial killer.

Daytona Beach police Chief Michael J. Chitwood sent letters to gun shops across Central Florida asking for the names, addresses and phone numbers of customers who purchased that type of gun during that time frame.

Police think a serial killer shot three prostitutes — and possibly another woman — to death using that weapon. It’s the newest lead they are following aggressively in the stalled six-year investigation.

“Forensic tests revealed that all of the victims were killed with the same type of weapon …,” reads a follow-up letter from Chitwood that one of the gun-shop owners shared with the Orlando Sentinel. “These weapons were shipped to you by Smith & Wesson or a gun wholesaler during the period of 01/01/2004 through 12/31/2005. This information would greatly assist in the investigation of these homicides.”

And:

The problem is that Florida law prohibits law enforcement or any other government agency from requesting and compiling the personal information of gun buyers. And that’s why the move by police is enraging gun advocates, such as those at the National Rifle Association, who have fought for strong laws that prohibit the creation of a gun registry in Florida.

Looks like he’s sending out a mailer touting his pro-gun street cred. You can see the mailer here. A few notes:

Touts his recently purchased NRA life membership, which was a result of some bad press he got for joining Mayor Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Guns.

Says out of state interests attacking TN gun shows were wrong. A direct repudiation of Mayors Against Guns.

Knoxville’s is the most gun-friendly big city? Well, unless you cut through a park while strapped, I guess.

I wonder who the mailer went to? I haven’t gotten one. But I’m wondering if snagged a copy of the Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Database?

That’s what the Better Business Bureau says about the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership.

The NRA would like you to know they’ve not endorsed anyone in Nevada yet. Fact it, they should endorse Reid. He’s pro-gun, they are single issue, and Reid’s re-election means we won’t get Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
