ATF to announce shotgun ruling Monday

Stock up on Saigas?

Today, the ATF announced at the 2011 SHOT Show that a new ruling would be issued on Monday, January 24, 2011, regarding the importability of certain shotguns. ATF informed the audience at the ATF Townhall meeting that they wanted to ensure that they were properly and justly enforcing the requirements of a shotgun being for a “sporting purpose.”

This is definitely concerning given the huge demand for certain shotguns like the Saiga platform, which has seen a noticeable increase in demand. While ATF would not comment on which shotguns will be named in this ruling, I would not be surprised to hear that the Saiga is going to be mentioned in the ruling, given the large capacity magazines and feeding devices that are now available.

Inquiry sad no DD ruling. Curious.

Awesome:

Not sure what’s up with the music though.

More on TSA shaming

Phelps has answers to what I posted earlier. TSA has stopped acting so stupid.

Presenting the views they want

NPR goes looking for someone who is pro-second amendment that will say they support the ban on standard capacity magazines:

We’re looking for a gun owner and 2nd Amendment supporter who is not opposed to the forthcoming McCarthy bill re: magazine capacity.

It’s like they have an agenda or something. Looks like they couldn’t find any so they got a shill instead.

In WA

A hearing on bill to look at prohibitions on sound suppressors. Bill is here.

Situational Awareness

Video of woman who falls into a mall fountain. She was texting while walking. She’s now suing, uh, someone for putting the security video online. Says the woman:

Texting while walking, Cruz says, is “dangerous. … I could have been walking into a bus, a car, a ditch, anything. Texting and walking, take it from me, is dangerous. It really is.”

Fortunately for you, you just suffered humiliation and some wet clothes.

Layers of editorial oversight

Remember when the press was all ga-ga over AK-15s? Now, someone is smuggling AR-47s into Mexico:

In the back of the vehicle they found 16 weapons. Ten AR-15’s which is the type of rifle our officers use. 5 AR 47s and high caliber handguns and our understanding was that the weapons were going to be taken into Mexico.”

Thought Police

At UT:

The Knoxville News Sentinel reports proposals include reviewing current policies on derogatory language, encouraging people to report incidents of bias even if they are not criminal, and creating wristbands, T-shirts and slogans to market the campaign for civility.

The report also encourages lectures on civility by prominent administrators, faculty and coaches.

No TSA shaming

Last night, at dinner with some friends, one friend tells me he noticed I haven’t been shaming the TSA lately. He wondered why. Honestly, the horror stories kind of stopped. Which means either TSA has stopped doing such stupid things. Or the press has just stopped covering it. Not a whole lot in the news.

But, of note, is that if you’re an elected congress-weasel, TSA will let you into the secure area so you can harass err campaign for votes.

No grandfathering

Sebastian look at McCarthy’s bill and notices that the grandfathering provisions basically mean no grandfathering. The burden of proof would be on you. Additionally, it bans the transfer of standard capacity magazines.

This bill is really awful.

Cool find

Quote of the Day

The President of the Joyce Foundation:

Over the past decade, I have watched gun-violence prevention fade from philanthropy’s agenda.

And Joyce is the biggest funder of gun control shills astroturf groups.

Need

What’s need got to do with it?

In MA

Blogger has firearms license pulled for rude comment. More from Jay. Comment was in poor taste but was far from a threat. If it was an actual threat, he’d be in jail and not just have his license revoked.

No first amendment right to record cops

Says Federal District Court Judge Suzanne Conlon.

New from Sig

A rifle that fires 7.62×39 and uses AK mags. Not sure why they call it the Sig 556 Russian, though.

TN’s Embarassment

A bit back, Congressman Steve Cohen was going on about getting a carry permit after the Tucson shooting. Now, he’s actually sponsoring the ban on standard capacity magazines. Also, he likens those that support repeal of Obamacare to Nazis. This guy’s fun to watch.

Since I’m food blogging

Beef and Noodle Soup and Homemade Stock. Yum.

Bacon Candle

Via John, comes the manliest candle in the world. Seems like a waste of bacon fat to me. I strain mine and put it in a jar that I keep in the fridge. It’s great for cooking.

Interesting

Our local paper appears to be getting its new media on. I found it pretty neat that you can comment on their stories, if you’re logged in to facebook.

Polymer cased ammo

A new line, that claims to fix the issues with previous polymer cased ammo.

Glock cancelled their presser? Bummer.
