Superman gets hipster makeover? Guess it could have been emo superman.

They only oppose big government when the other guy is in charge.

Here’s 106 of them.

The Tennessean: Nashville attorney David Randolph Smith leads fight against guns-in-bars law

Leads it where? It’s still the law and will be for a while. He does seem ambitious though:

Smith’s goal is an ambitious one — to be the attorney who argues the deciding case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court about where handguns should be reasonably prohibited.

In OK, a ballot measure says courts can’t use international law or sharia law.

But you can’t take the California out of the hipster-doofus:

Sports editor Josh Briggs wrote earlier this month that “hunting deer for sport is no different than hunting people.”

Caught The Daily Show interview with Ted Kaufman, who took Biden’s senate seat after the ascension. You can see the interview here. It’s another case of same planet, different worlds. I watch these two yammer on and on about how the problem with the system in this country is that the senate keeps killing bills. And bills die in the senate. Really? Because if there’s one thing we have in this country, it’s a shortage of laws.

Also, Kaufman says this congress passed more laws than any other since FDR. I think I see the problem.

Switch from little .380s to little 9mms?

Speaking of, more photos and specs of the new Sig290 are here.

Calls in the car should be banned. Totally. Unless you’re a supercitizen with special training on operating a motor vehicle and your phone.

Man shoots self while sleepwalking.

Yup.

It’s happened before.

Looks like Bloomy is trying to avoid being the next to get sued. It is telling that councilman calls the fees for permits fines. At least he’s honest. The new rules go too far in restricting gun ownership. You can be denied a permit for being a bad driver or being in debt.

Boy expelled for toy gun last year can return to school. And it won’t go on his “permanent record”.

Meet Ivan Chesnokov.

Who was mentioned here.

You can’t carry a gun there:

An off-duty police officer who got into a shootout with an armed robber as the officer was getting her hair done in a beauty salon in Brooklyn on Saturday night shot the gunman’s revolver out of his hands, police officials said on Monday.

Coal Creek Armory chosen as GLOCK Law Enforcement Sub Distributor

This started as a comment over here but WordPress blogs think I’m spam. The NFA was one of the first times NRA got involved in legislation. The original bill, IIRC, pretty much mimics what DC’s gun laws were pre-Heller (i.e., any thing capable of firing more than 12 rounds without reloading was a machine gun and other things DC was famous for). The NRA, IIRC, got involved because the law was drafted so poorly and didn’t seem to know anything about guns (now, they just pass laws even if they’re drafted by people who don’t know guns). The intent was to regulate gangster weapons, like MGs, sawed off, and handguns. Handguns were dropped from regulation and suppressors (which were, frankly, fairly new at the time) were added because folks were poaching game on federal land.

Not the best solution but, at that time, a gun control bill was going to be passed.

This one is in Knoxville.

In New Haven, SWAT teams are raiding night clubs.

You know, in the abstract. Not so much really punching them.

If you’re an advocate of firearms rights like open carry, then dragging a lady to the ground because she’s acting like an idiot is not the way you go about telling folks that we gunnies aren’t violent. Those actions will be generalized to the folks in your movement whether you like it or not. More here.

Via the Doc, I took this empathy quotient test. 27. A few points lower and I supposedly have Asperger syndrome.

Robb Allen:

Japete is at it once again, confusing “things that happen” with “being legal”

You mean speeding is legal? Sweet.

It’s kinda interesting living in an age where your daughter’s quiz grades are emailed to you. She’s scored 100% on her last three accelerated reader tests. So, go her.

And, the other night, she was playing Angry Birds on my droid. She comes up to me and says Daddy, I can’t get it to work. She shows me the screen. Somehow she had installed a speed dating application on it. Gotta watch those ads, I guess.

Mom’s first gun.

MJM:

The dimly lit corner of that parking lot. Getting out of your car at 11 pm behind your house. Both are common, increased-risk, “transition” scenarios. Low light scenarios. Then, there’s always that breaking glass at 3 a.m. clue that something is about to happen
