Introduced

McCarthy’s ban on the transfer and sale of standard capacity magazines.

More SHOT Stuff

Lots of links here. Including this video of a belt-fed AR-15. Hopefully, unlike the Shrike, it’s not just vaporware.

Meanwhile, on Fantasy Island

Newsweek says gun control is back in Washington and that conservatives are making inaccurate arguments against gun control. It’s funny because 1) gun control is not back in Washington and 2) the whole piece is riddled with inaccurate arguments and information.

Only the government

Can run a gambling operation and lose money. Seriously, if you lose money running a gambling operation, you must be retarded.

Of course, the .gov couldn’t even make money selling ass.

Let it sink in. The government cannot make money in operations that are very successful at making money even when you include the high cost that comes with breaking the law. The .gov doesn’t have the high cost of breaking the law and still can’t make money. Remember that when someone says they want the government to run healthcare.

Martin Luther King and his guns

MLK was denied a permit, because AL had discretionary may issue laws.

Micro Nines

Sig has released one. Others aren’t so impressed with the concept.

Lives up to its name for once

NYPD actually buys back it’s own gun, that was stolen.

Kids and Guns

Katie: Guns, Parenting and Risk: Do You Let Your Child Visit Homes With Firearms?

Life is risky. Katie wonders if they ask about pools, chemicals, and hot tubs.

A lot of gun owners stay in the closet and don’t admit they own guns, depending on the area where you are. Here, I pretty much presume that most households have guns. And I choose to educate my kids on guns. My kids know that any time they want to shoot a gun, just ask. And I’ll take them. It eliminates the curiosity if they can do it when they want. And, of course, they know the rules.

Prior to Junior’s first shots:

Robert Levy: Gun control measures don’t stop violence

At CNN, he writes:

Still, the Supreme Court has suggested that sensible gun regulations may be constitutionally permissible. Sensible is not, however, what we have in Washington, Chicago, New York and other cities, where you can probably get a pizza delivery before a response from a 911 call. Police cannot be everywhere.

Selected proposals may nonetheless be constructive, with three important qualifications. First, government has the burden to show that a regulation will not unduly impede the use of firearms for self-defense. Second, ostensibly modest steps down a slippery slope must not compromise core Second Amendment rights. Third, a regulation must be effective in promoting public safety, when weighed against reliable evidence that past restrictions have not lessened the incidence of gun-related crimes.

I thought he may be backpedaling from his previous comments that bans on regular capacity magazines were likely constitutional.

Charter Arms Rimless Revolver

Actual photos. Think they’ve been teasing these for years.

Firearms on Campus

A bill to allow that on Tennessee campuses.

S&W M&P22

Based on this pic, I wonder if they shoved some P22 innards into a M&P frame and slide. I’d recognize that barrel anywhere. Looks like a Walther P22 barrel to me.

Fighting R2D2

In Florida, folks are challenging red light camera tickets based on photos. They’re winning over 72% of the time.

Bloomberg on Glocks

Say the mayor:

One of our newspapers has a campaign going to try to get the police department to ban the use of — one particular manufacturer’s guns,” Bloomberg said. “We think all that would do would be to get people to focus and buy more of that manufacturer’s guns.

Unpossible

A trifecta: You can’t carry guns in Cali. You can’t carry guns in a school. And Cali’s ‘safe gun’ registry means they shouldn’t fire when dropped.

Cut and Cap

Sounds good to me, since they’re always raising the debt limit.

Judgemental

Tam is not impressed with the Smith and Wesson Judge clone being decked it out in lasers and stuff. I mean, it’s not like they’d make a tactical one.

And the Judge lever action? That one, though, is actually kinda cool.

30 Clip

A pic. Heh.

Reminds me of this:

Chicks and guns

I find it interesting that Rachel Maddow and her partner’s first date was to an NRA lady’s day at the range. Cool.

Meghan McCain continues the McCain tradition of being a useful idiot.

Young strippers

Apparently, having solved all of our other problems, Hardaway has a bill that says strippers must be 21. This would make them as old as the patrons. I did always find it amusing that you had to be 21 to watch 18 year old girls dance naked, due to our booze laws.

Gunwalker issues

Allegations ATF has allowed weapons to be smuggled into Mexico?

Made me queasy

What an arrow sees in it’s rear view.

Belt Fed Full Auto .22 Pellet Air Gun

Video here.

Middle ground

Compromise with this.

SHOT Links

Para 14.45 Tactical.

Tactical Solutions always has cool stuff. At NRA conventions, they’re the first booth I find.

Anti-pirate laser.

Gunblast at media day

NRA Blog has photos here, here, and here.

Linked this a bit back wondering if it was a gag. But, no, the Mossberg Chainsaw is real.

Sig P210

Taurus pistol caliber carbine. Looks sharp.

Victory in Cali

Ammo regulation ruled unconstitutionally vague.

So much for that

High court denies appeal in NJ travel case.

Magazine Ban Stuff

Some states restrict regular magazine capacity. And you can’t buy them there. But you can get a “magazine repair kit“.

Peaceable Journey

Not so peaceable:

Missed flights only inconvenience most people. A late flight landed Utah gun owner Greg Revell in jail for 10 days after he got stranded in New Jersey with an unloaded firearm he had legally checked with his luggage in Salt Lake City.

The Supreme Court could decide Tuesday whether to consider letting Revell sue Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police for arresting him on illegal possession of a firearm in New Jersey and for not returning his gun and ammunition to him for more than three years.

This case could be interesting. An opportunity to tell NY/NJ that, yes, the Firearms Owners Protection Act applies there.

In Japan

A blog calls out the Japanese press for misleading gun control data.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
