Gun guns

His dad got a 1911

Suppressed R1 and a weak grip

Austin PD has a gun buyback program offering a $100 gift card for guns. Texans for Accountable Government have a counter buyback, offering $110 cash and they will give the guns to folks who need them, instead of destroying them like the APD would. Cool.

Take the noise suppressor off your car and put it on your gun and you can get a federal prison sentence and a traffic citation!

I think it was Alan who said something like: If we treated cars like guns, you couldn’t have a muffler and everyone around you would have to wear ear plugs.

They mention the Kansas suppressor victory on their facebook page. NRA fans chime in in comments with suppressors aren’t necessary and are for cop killing. Our own worst enemy, some times.

I get offended when people say that.

That phrase is almost always a way to avoid having a rational discussion.

State stops collecting union dues.

15 sites that forbid you from linking to them. Really, UPS? So when I type a tracking number into Google and it links to you, you’re not a fan?

Contempt of cop arrest overturned, victim awarded damages.

Looks like it to me.

I’m not entirely opposed to this concept. Other sites sell those stupid CCW Badges, which are dumb, may cause legal trouble, may get you shot, and definitely look mall ninjaish. But the color-coded idea isn’t too bad. But, sparky, don’t call me civilian. The police are civilians too.

David Keene doesn’t fit the narrative of the left or the right. Good.

How it starts.

Her first time.

NSSF reports a 73% increase in gun sales to women. Also, that article features someone we know.

Sean has a look at some numbers.

50 unexplainable black and white photos. Some can be explained by accepting that furries have been around longer than we thought.

Not so important that we recognize the anti-gun folks are losing. We’ve known that for a while. It is important that the mainstream media is admitting it.

Cam Edwards and Jim Geraghty talk about the scandal at National Review.

A review of the grip force adapter for Glocks. Designed to correct the grip angle on the Glock. And by correct, they mean make it more like a 1911.

Hate crime laws are dumb. But I think this is the first time I’ve heard of a black person being charged with one.

Cool.

Not really an update on whether or not it will be available. If there’s one benefit (and the only benefit) to the Raging Judge, it will be to show just how stupid gun laws really are.

A bill passes the legislature to make use of suppressors legal for outdoor recreation, including hunting.

Happy 1911

Until the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh. Here’s a summary of PA’s handgun laws.

I’ll be there, getting in Thursday. Who else is going?

The Joyce Foundation buys an anti-gun story.

The Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 requires guns to come with a lock. Yesterday, I threw away 13 of them. Such a waste of money. And they’ll spend just shy of forever in a landfill. But it’s the law. For the children.
