Interesting character

Remember the guy who wrote the anti-gun piece a bit back? Then we found out he had planned a murder, supposedly. Well, it turns out he also gets paid by the Southern Policy Law Center to libel people:

The storied Southern Poverty Law Center has agreed to formally apologize to a scholar it accused of being a Turkish agent because of his views on the long-ago slaughter of Armenians.

Random harassment

Apparently, that was the policy of the Camden police department. They’re being sued.

Discrimination

Safe storage laws mean poor people can’t own guns.

Quote of the Day

Xrlqy Wrlqy on his gay marriage flip flop:

My new view, after having recently gone through a divorce, is that family law is FUBAR.

Lott on the NYT and Guns

John Lott looks at various errors, flaws, and bias in the New York Times reporting on guns.

78%

The percentage the NYPD misses what they’re shooting at. This might explain why:

Good question

Where are the knife control groups? They’re in England.

Volquartsen and MKII

Trigger replacement for the Ruger.

Good for the snow

We all need some flamethrower gloves. Why not?

Gun Porn

How the KSG works.

Wilson’s rails system

Doublestar Carbine

Lyman 57SME

That’s a lot of guns.

Tactical Rubber-band Gun

It has a laser.

Superbowl Commercial Blogging

Updates as I feel like it. And, honestly, how many times can you say the phrase ‘move the football’.

Cowboys and Aliens. Hell, yeah.

Hats off to BMW for pointing out the bailouts in their commercial. I wish more car companies would. I’ve had my eye on the M3.

That Coca Cola dragon commercial sucked and probably cost a lot.

Heh. Junior Darth Vader.

Good to see Roseanne Barr get work. And hit by a log.

Hmm. $3M a piece. A lot fewer commercials this year. Hope and change.

Another Chevy commercial that I paid for.

Carmax commercial was hysterical.

Commercials cost $3M. I wonder what they cost during half time?

Wait, Slash and Black Eyed Peas. Fuck yeah.

Justin Bieber and Ozzy. It can’t suck more.

Butt sex jokes in the commercials. Usually, they involve the game.

Making fun of Tibet = Win.

So far, disappointed.

Eminem sold out to Chrysler. Disappointing. And Chrysler can take my bailout money and shove it. It’s like I’m paying for everyone’s commercials.

Butt secks and kicked in the nuts at the superbowl? But religious commercials are a no go.

Just local, but the mall walker was funny. And also paid for with my money.

The packers are up. And I reported that without the NFL’s consent. Which is prohibited.

Email to NFL just now: I’d like express written consent to comment on my facebook page. Is that OK?

Camaro commercial that I paid for.

Packers win the first and last Superbowl!

Good news

The long gun reporting requirement has been delayed, and it is likely illegal.

Those poor investigators, being setback like that.

How many divisions does the court have?

White House intends to ignore a declaratory judgment ruling Obamacare unconstitutional?

Licensing

Man responds with study of his own to traffic concerns. State tries to charge him with practicing engineering without a license. Amazing how petty bureaucrats are and, even more amazing, there are laws that enable this type of thing.

In my experience, state licensing of professions only serves as government protection of particular industries. And as a revenue scam err stream. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings to see the states get out of the business. These should be regulated by industry, if at all. I say that as someone with a few certifications.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Man spends time plotting first-degree murder unsurprisingly supports gun control.

TSA Unionizes

If you think they’re bad now, just wait.

Obama addresses gun control

Heh.

Gun Porn

I’ve used J&T Distributing parts for years. Looks like Oleg went and checked them out:

Doublestar 1911

And a pic for an iPhone AR builder project.

Buyback

Burglar sells guns back to actual owner.

Sounds a little unreasonable

TN has a law proposed to take DNA samples from those committing a felony.

Judgmental

Once again, a Taurus Judge is used in a self defense shooting. This time, it kills someone. Unlike last time.

Also:

Kutchin grabbed his loaded handgun- a Taurus Judge- so named because judges carry this type of weapon in their courtrooms for self- defense.

Really? Sloppy reporting, all around. Even reference to ‘make my day’ law. Yes, because when a high robber points a gun at you, you’re feeling all Dirty Harry.

Beware of fake experts

Good point. But, really, are these fake experts intentionally faking? Or is it the result of spending too much time jaw-jacking at the local gun shop?

Deal Alert

Over at LuckyGunner, some ammo deals:

Tula 9mm – Use offer code SayUncle-9mm ($10 off a case, making it $175)

Remington 223 – Use offer code SayUncle-223 ($5 off a box of 200)

Nickel-Plated Remington 45 – Use offer code SayUncle-45 ($15 off a case of 500)

I’m also informed that you can only use one offer code per order.

Note: I don’t make any thing off of this. But, hey, if it saves you a few bucks.

Sabre Defence Goec Titc Up

Their odd use of the letter C always bugged me.

Reported before there were rumors they were being sold. Looks like their bank moved in and is going to take and liquidate their assets. They’re accepting bids.

Mainstreaming

When pondering why the police need armored tanks shifts from the Wookiee suiters to the guys that run car blogs, it’s a sign people are paying attention and worried.

Unclear on the concept

A reader emails that someone he knows was denied a transfer of a firearm due to a decades old arrest that he didn’t think was a felony. An appeal was made to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. He sent me a copy of the denial of the appeal, which contained the following:

From Stuff

Having rights restored doesn’t include all rights? Odd.

In Clarksville, TN

Bill removing prohibition of guns in parks passes.

Watching the watchmen

One of the banes of my existence, the Securities and Exchange Commission, oversees regulations related to financial reporting. So, it’s a little funny to me that, for six years, audits of the the SEC show that they suck at financial reporting.

Headline of the day

Harvard Law Prof Tells Senate that Congress Can Make You Buy Broccoli. Well, if they can, then they can make you buy vitamins, a gym membership, and a Chevy Volt.

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