Remember those magazines I ordered in January? They’re finally on their way.

Husband’s retirement strategy — $250,000 on collectible guns

Police in Pittsburgh beat a student after mistaking a soda bottle for a gun. The DOJ says it’s closing the investigation because it’s hard to prove just how willful the police’s actions were.

Cracking down on guns:

When people think about terrorism, they tend to envision bombs, hostages and hijackings. But the future of terrorism increasingly belongs to the humble gun. From Frankfurt to Mumbai and beyond, terrorists are making the gun their primary weapon of choice.

Nowhere is this threat more troubling than here in the United States. In the decade since the Sept. 11 attacks, 17 Americans have been killed by reasonably clear-cut cases of homegrown Islamist terrorism. Every one of those deaths was caused by a gun. And if Al Qaeda has its way, there will be many more.

It’s a push for restricting sales to those on watch lists. Because that will help.

My Blackhawk CQC belt broke last weekend. So did Justin’s. The rivet/bolt came out. And the leather stitching on the strap you tuck the belt tip into failed.

Not a good conflation. Also, seizing airsoft guns?

No in .50 cal: Less Lethal WASP 500

Outdoor Life has a round up.

Caleb is going to torture test one. We see these torture tests often enough. No one ever loudly proclaims they’re going to fuck up a $1,500 gun.

Paul: This year I’m going back to Piru, California and competing with a purpose, with focus, with the determination that this time I… will… not… suck.

Campfield bill to allow judges to go heeled while on the bench.

A VP for a company that makes traffic cameras has been suspended for defending the cameras in the comments section at newspapers.

Someone should introduce that concept to the Philly police:

With a shocking altercation between Philadelphia police and a 25-year-old IT worker putting the spotlight back on open-carry gun laws, local authorities are warning gun owners that they will be “inconvenienced” if they carry unconcealed handguns in the city.

Lt. Raymond Evers, a spokesman for the city police, told FoxNews.com that gun owners who open carry, which is legal in the city, may be asked to lay on the ground until officers feel safe while they check permits.

Someone should inconvenience the PD with a healthy lawsuit.

The Chair Force blocks weapons related websites?

Open carry was a hot topic a bit back, getting some folks up in arms (heh) about it. People keep doing it and nothing really happens.

Consistent with my experience.

As presented by a public school.

Obama issued 8 pardons. This one leaps out at me:

Edwin Alan North of Wolcottville, Ind., sentenced to six months of probation for transferring a firearm without payment of tax.

Which tax?

It’s a sword and a pistol.

It’s a camera and a pistol.

It’s a rifle and a pistol

The wifi up here in heaven is hard to get working.

This is a scheduled post. If you’re reading it, I’ve been raptured and am in heaven kicking it with the big J.

I didn’t watch it
Because the disc wouldn’t let
Me skip commercials.

Shark jumped: A zombie survival book for kids.

In case you haven’t heard, the world should end tomorrow. Supposedly via big ass earthquake, which is a bummer because I was hoping for zombies. I mean, I’ll be bummed because I can’t shoot an earthquake. And zombies would at least provide some much needed target practice while the world was ending. And, hey, I can’t take the ammo with me, right?

Some folks are, I kid you not, spending their life savings like there’s no tomorrow because, well, they think there may not actually be a tomorrow. There will be a half-day, I guess. It’s probably a good time for me to just go ahead and buy that GTR or that M3, right? Since I can’t shoot an earthquake, maybe I can out run it.

Also scheduled is some post rapture looting, since some folks won’t be around. Folks are also offering to take care of the departed’s pets for a fee (get it in advance). And there are some folks who want to leave empty clothes on the streets as a gag.

It’s also terribly inconvenient, this Armageddon. I plan on slow-cooking some meat tomorrow and it will be done about the time the sky opens up and the four horsemen of the apocalypse decide to ride around throwing pestilence and famine at me. Famine when I’m cooking a pork roast? So not cool. I think the GTR can outrun horses though since I don’t know of a horse that can get to 60 in 2.9 seconds. But I don’t want to get barbecue sauce in my shiny GTR.

I guess tomorrow one group or the other is going to look stupid.

As for me, if I had that GTR, I wouldn’t be at work right now. But just in case, I guess I’ll get a nice bottle of bourbon.

Obama is working on gun control under the radar:

While the Obama administration said it is committed to gun rights, a gun control advocate has spilled the beans, saying Obama is using stealth to work on firearms restrictions.

The Washington Post did a story on Steve Croley, the White House gun control czar. Crowley is considered to be an expert on regulation and tort law. His approach to gun control appears to be a regulatory one.

According to the article, Jim and Sarah Brady visited Capital Hill on March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan; to push for a ban on “large magazines.”

Well, ATF is trying to push new regulatory rules for shotgun and rifle sales.

DEA recovers a trash can full of AKs. Turns out, some of those were guns that ATF allowed into Mexico. The DEA is not giving them back.

Some rep at Wal-Greens on their firing of an employee for using a gun in lawful self-defense:

Compliance is safer than confrontation.

As long as all they want is money or drugs, right?

Hedge funds stocking up on farm land.

And why not.

First, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence gets twitter account suspended for disclosing other people’s personal information. Another one is working on getting suspended for doing the same thing.

Now (pardon me, I’m laughing here) we find out the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence was banned from airbrushing their own wikipedia entry.
