Walking sculpture.

Recording and reporting police encounters.

This time, in Arizona.

I use that phrase to describe gun control all the time. It’s also applicable to the war on drugs. Here in Tennessee, everyone is scared to death of the meth. As such, they pass a lot of dumb laws trying to stop the meth from breaking into our homes and raping us and stealing our money. For instance, I currently have some sort of illness which I think is technically called the creeping fucking death. It’s horrid. No amount of chicken based soup or vitamin C or nasal rinse has helped. So, I finally broke down and decided to get some Sudafed.

If you walk into the local drug store, you can’t just grab a pack of Sudafed off the shelf, take it to the cashier and exchange your money for that Sudafed like you could do in a free country where they respect your right to engage in lawful commerce. Oh no. See, instead of being obviously sick (like me), you may be buying that to make the meth. And the meth will kill your babies and may cause drowsiness. So I have to grab a slip of paper off the shelf that has Sudafed written on it and take that piece of paper to the pharmacy counter. There, the pharmacist will ask me to sign for it and write down my driver’s license number. Because meth is the devil and causes global warming, we have a multiple purchase reporting requirement for Sudafed.

For me to be willing to deal with that mess, I have to be really sick. But I did it.

Now there’s competing bills to cause further pain in my ass. One may require a prescription for Sudafed. And the other will, I shit you not, create a Sudafed registry.

I hope every member of the Tennessee legislature who has supported these bills catches what I have. I think I’ll just buy some meth instead. Probably less of a hassle to extract the Pseudoephedrine from the meth.

And their right wing desires to legalize gay marriage and drugs; Fund the arts; cut defense spending; and repeal the PATRIOT Act. Clearly, they must be stopped.

Obama’s budget cuts, in perspective.

Chris Christie is not too confident in gun control reform in NJ.

Supposed advocates of “gun safety” (which is just a rebranding of the phrase “gun control”) should really learn the rules of real gun safety.

Finally watched the CBS video. It really makes ATF look bad. Allowing 2,500 guns to go across the border is inexcusable.

Details here.

Chuck Schumer’s gun bill:

Under the plan endorsed by Schumer and Bloomberg, states and federal authorities would be required to increase the percentage of denied gun permit applicants to the national gun database. The penalty for not reporting would be a loss of federal funding for crime prevention.

Just increase, reason or no, or lose funding? Seems like an arbitrary assault on rights to me. But the press parrots the lie that this proposal is “modest”. Even though the bill could be a move to ban all private transfers.

Probably the saddest and most hysterical gun description I’ve read. These guys are desperate for attention. And money. Mostly that free Joyce Foundation money.

Wait a minute. An anti-gun letter made it to the local paper?

A review from Ed at Shooting Illustrated.

This time, in Wyoming.

Interesting read from PDB. I’ve never really gone to a match so a lot of that stuff I found useful. Does make me wish we had two gun matches around here.

An update on Leonard Embody’s case.

In that post below that is most assuredly based on a hoax, the comments are hysterical. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Thanks.

Comparing US prices to New Zealand prices. Yes, sort of depressing. But you have to consider that, in NZ, you need a license to own guns and you can’t carry them.

Is this the “Glock Carbine”? Not really. But there have been rumors Glock has been working on one for a while.

Certainly the people have no arms.

These have been popular lately. Jay has a round up.

The story makes CBS news:

Keeping American weapons from getting into the hands of Mexican gangs is the goal of a program called “Project Gunrunner.” But critics say it’s doing exactly the opposite. CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports on what she found.

Police say gold tooth deflects a bullet.

HT John.

Restaurant at Seattle airport refuses to serve TSA agents:

She says that whenever a TSA agent attempts to dine at the restaurant, “we turn our backs and completely ignore them, and tell them to leave… Their kind aren’t welcomed in our establishment.”

The restaurant claims that 90% of its patrons are in agreement with their stance and that the local police have actually helped escort TSA workers of the premises.

Hell yeah.

Update: Seems no one can locate the restaurant that is doing this. Could be a hoax. Still, that this story took off seems to indicate it struck a nerve.

In Tennessee:

A measure that would exempt handgun permit holders from criminal background checks to buy weapons is one of two gun bills advancing in the state Senate.

In PCB:

A man is in critical condition after shooting himself in the head five or six times at a Panama City gun range. on State Road 390 near the old Panama City Airport.
