Another government list

A proposed medical marijuana registry

Eventually, we’ll all be on lists.

ATF Comments & Astroturf

Reuters reported that 70% of comments on ATF’s inquiry on multiple rifle sales supported the measure. Digging into it, John found that there was some sort of bulk mailing going on that originated from Mayors Against Guns.

Getting them hooked early

Chuck E. Cheese’s getting sued because it hooks kids on gambling. Odd, I was just there this weekend and thought it just got kids hooked on video games, cheap toys and crappy pizza.

BREAKING NEWS

Man accosts and is belligerent to a bunch of gun nuts. Doesn’t get shot.

A survivalists favorite blogs, books, and products

I’m a favorite. Though I’m more like a survivalist poser.

Also, in Cali

Judge rules that the bear part of the keep and bear arms doesn’t exist: Judge England in the Eastern District of California issued a 16-page opinion find that the Second Amendment does not protect a right to carry a concealed firearm.

Lots more at that link.

Anti-gun judge in NY

Most gun cases are funneled through Weinstein in NY because he has never found a gun control law he didn’t like. Looks like that could change.

Select fire 1911

And why not:

Meanwhile, at ATF

An employee:

Management is going to order me to produce documentary evidence on a Program and Operation they say was fully within…ethical boundaries of law enforcement and initially claimed didn’t exist? Headquarters personnel are going to review these documents for value? After Headquarters has lied and covered-up and stonewalled this for several months?

In Cali

While businesses and individuals are leaving the state in droves, the powers that be take up important issues restricting rights:

A dangerous bill to regulate airguns out of existence.

And, in Cali, the carry movement was carrying unloaded guns since that was the lawful way to carry there. Now, the California assembly has voted to ban that:

The California Assembly approved a bill Monday to prohibit openly carrying unloaded handguns in public after a debate that pitted gun rights proponents against chiefs of police.

The bill, AB144, would make it a misdemeanor to carry an exposed and unloaded gun in a public place, street or vehicle except in some unincorporated areas. It was approved 45-29 largely along party lines and moves to the Senate.

Not much, apparently

Environmental nannies

Thanks to congress, you’ll soon be paying $50 for a 100w light bulb. Which you can’t properly dispose of and will wind up flushing down your toilet, which can’t handle it because congress ruined those too.

A civil rights victory

Judge upholds gun rights for medical marijuana users.

And then we woke up one day living in a fish bowl

Once again, indoor plumbing causes the court to ignore the fourth amendment:

The justices in an 8-1 decision said officers who loudly knock on a door and then hear sounds suggesting evidence is being destroyed may break down the door and enter without a search warrant.

And what does evidence destruction sound like? Meanwhile, hats off to Ginsburg:

In a lone dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she feared the ruling in a Kentucky case will give police an easy way to ignore the 4th Amendment. “Police officers may not knock, listen and then break the door down,” she said, without violating the 4th Amendment.

flipside wallet

A review of an interesting wallet. Personally, I carry a Dopp Regatta with no complaints.

Who owns the debt?

You and me, mostly.

In Mexico

Citizens defying gun laws for self-defense. Maybe the ATF will send them some?

Smith and Wesson M&P9 Review

A good review and pics by Richard. I’ve partaken of that Kool-Aid myself and, have to admit, I really like it. I still carry my Glock 30 mostly but, once I get a few hundred more rounds down range with the M&P, I may carry it more. I know the Glock goes bang every time and, so far, my M&P has too. But I’ve only put 200 rounds through it. I’ll probably try to run it in the handgun course at the Lucky Gunner event.

Note to self, get to the range more.
