Medical Marijuana Users Fight For Gun Rights. Interesting story from NPR no less:

Willis is not only packing a concealed handgun permit in her wallet, she also has a medical marijuana card. That combination has led the local sheriff to try to take her gun permit away.

Also, your form 4473 asks you to affirm you’re not an illegal user of drugs. Via SIH.

And in Ohio, a judge rules that those charged with misdemeanor drug offenses do not lose their right to arms.

Dear Harry,

I’ve already looked into the matter for you and decided that it’s freedom of expression.

There, I saved you some time, pomp, money, and maybe you from looking like a jackass.

Brannon Denning and Glenn Reynolds have a paper on possible outcomes.

His subpoena to ATF asking about them allowing guns into Mexico.

Speaking of ATF, Michelle Malkin says it’s a terrible idea to put an anti-gun politician from Chicago in charge of the agency. Well, yeah.

Masslive:

Two police officers, training on patrol rifles at the Smith & Wesson shooting range in Springfield, suffered injuries Wednesday morning when one of the firearms exploded.

“For one reason or another the weapon had a failure, we really haven’t determined the cause yet,” said Sgt. Patrick Manley. “A round exploded in the chamber and caused the weapon to blow to pieces…It just blew up.”

When this happens, my first thought is hey, reloads. But I doubt the police roll their own. S&W says it’s not a problem with the gun which may mean ammo was the culprit.

And when the police have them, the go from being assault weapons to patrol rifles.

Registration is open. But gun nuts opppose registration.

Cooking some barbecue sauce today, need a supply now that the weather is warm. First step is get up in the morning and have some bacon for breakfast and keep the bacon grease. Important later. Then, assemble ingredients. Organizational skills are key (note: dog in the background knows something is going on):

From Sauce

Mixing it up this time, I added some mangoes and an apple to the usual combination of onion, ginger root, tomato and peppers. Gives it a nice sweet flavor. Now, chop all those veggies up and set aside:

From Sauce

Remember that bacon grease? You left it in the pan, right? Well, heat it back up to medium and toss in quite a bit of minced garlic:

From Sauce

After the garlic gets a bit of a browned look, toss in all those cut up fruits and veggies:

From Sauce

Cook on medium or low until tender, stirring regularly:

From Sauce

Now, you can skimp on a lot of things in this recipe but not on the spices. Don’t buy cheap chili powder or paprika. I like the Spanish paprika and medium chili powder from Penzeys. Here, we have some paprika, chili powder, and black pepper (ground in a coffee grinder):

From Sauce

Add enough chili powder to soak up some of the moisture, probably about half a cup. Add paprika, black pepper and some kosher salt to taste:

From Sauce

Stir it up to get those fruits and veggies coated in a nice layer of spicy goodness. Cook for about 5 minutes:

From Sauce

Let it cool, or the next step could be painful. While you wait, you can read you daughter’s book on Samoyeds.

From Sauce

Drop that concoction in the blender and hit the liquefy button:

From Sauce

Now, we have what looks like baby food:

From Sauce

Trust me, it gets better looking. Add the rest of the ingredients, which are (approximately – use your own judgement):

You could puree up some tomatoes and sugar and vinegar or read the ingredients on ketchup and use about four cups of it.
1 cup yellow mustard
1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup honey
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup Soy sauce
Some hot sauce if you want. That jalapeño was kinda mild so I added a few dashes.

From Sauce

Now, if you happen to have your smoker going, you can cook this on it in a big pot. But I’m feeling lazy today so I’ll add a bit of Liquid Smoke and finish it in the Crock Pot. Not much Liquid Smoke, a little goes a long way:

From Sauce

Whisk away until nice and smooth:

From Sauce

And, now, that baby food looks like sauce. Leave on low heat in the Crock Pot covered all day and stir every once in a while:

I had to take it down after an hour due to all the emails and facebook messages. I didn’t realize so many folks would think it might be serious. Which, in and of itself, is actually kinda sad. And by sad, I mean that folks think it’s not entirely unbelievable that the Department of Homeland Security would seize my domain name.
