Blogging sporadic for the rest of the weekend. Plans and all. But you and yours, have a happy one.

A look at stopping power.

So says the Brady Campaign. If you purchase a handgun out of state, it must go through an FFL. I can’t imagine they don’t know the law. They’re just being deceptive. Of course, most of their ‘supporters’ get their understanding of gun laws from watching crappy crime dramas.

I don’t think guns and alcohol mix. But this rail mounted bottle opener is pretty darn funny.

Firearms preemption victory in NY.

From Ian. Also, guns are expensive because there’s an 11% federal tax on them.

Citizen ‘tickets’ cop who unlawfully parked. Actually going to court.

Ezra Klein says it’s impossible to understand the constitution because it’s 100 years old.

8 Botched Environmental Forecasts

From Glenn, fourth circuit orders hearing to assess constitutionality of banning those charged with domestic violence from owning guns.

Gun Nuts has a pic. I like the concept for the same reason I like their LaserGrips over other brands of laser sights. Your draw will activate it. No extra buttons to fool with.

Innovative idea.

You driving all the time is bad for the environment and causes congestion and annoys stupid hippies. And other stuff, I’m sure. And the reason you drive everywhere is because of all that free parking. So let’s get rid of free parking.

For $70K. Even at that price, the internets tell me the 1911 won’t run.

The SSAR looks like a good way to turn money into noise.

Via Radley, I am reminded of of this gem from President Clinton tying loving freedom to terrorism:

the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them.

Well, Bubba, what is the greatest threat to American freedom? I’ll wait.

The worst a bunch of goat-humpers can do is small scale, sporadic attacks. Those attacks don’t really threaten my freedom. The reaction from people like you to those attacks does.

John has an update. A win, I would think.

In Ohio, the supreme court tells the city of Cleveland that, yes, you actually do have to obey the law.

Crunching the numbers on failures and reliability.

BTW, people seem to take these “your gun sucks” posts a little too seriously. Choosing a gun is a very personal thing. There are, for instance, a lot of things that can’t be measured such as feel, ergonomics, what works for individuals. If you like 1991s or Glocks or whatever, go for it. I link to these posts because sometimes there’s useful info or you might learn something just by hearing another point of view.

I don’t think 1911s suck. I like to shoot them because they are pleasant to shoot. So don’t get all butthurt because someone doesn’t like your flavor of kool-aid.

Looks like they won’t play in any reindeer games because of all the gay cooties.

Not sure if serious:

At a shoot, Glenn was talking about his. And he said something to the effect of “they don’t suck anymore”. They used to. And I never owned one. Now, they’ve improved a bit. CTD has a look.

Rich: Am I the only one that finds it strange that the US government apparently believes that a nuclear war is more survivable than global warming?

Divemedic looks at the numbers.

Student suspended for having a paring knife. Every administrator at that school should be tarred and feathered.

Birtherism.

Interesting experiment.
