Leave war to the warmongers.

I don’t recommend, too much pressure. From AAC.

Acting director may resign.

If Melson goes, Traver comes in?

A look at motivations and activities in the administration. I’ve heard a lot of folks wondering if this is what Obama meant back when he said he was working on gun control under the radar.

Seen on facebook: Imagine the DEA telling pharmacists to illegally sell oxycontin to known drug dealers or they would be shut down. Then imagine the DEA using the fact that more oxycontin was on the street (and hundreds of overdose deaths) as a pretext for making it harder for patients to get prescribed narcotics. This is essentially what happened with the ATF and Project Gunwalker

Space oddity

Girly gun

Thutty thutty.

A whole lot of stuff from Bob.

Indications are that it was a campaign of orchestrated violence to push for gun control.

And said come home:

With the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives facing its worst scandal in decades, the man nominated by President Obama to take over as its next chief is headed to Washington this week to meet with top Justice Department officials.

Get some popcorn.

Instead, I’ll leave you with this:

PROMISES, PROMISES: No action from Obama on guns. Looks like the press and anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) have been asking Obama to do something about gun violence. No real plans just wishes.

Also, noted in the article is that the NRA continues its policy of not participating in the gun control talks at the justice department. Good. It’s a nice way to illustrate the pointlessness of these talks.

Sean wonders why gun bloggers aren’t an interest group. And is does seem to me that maybe politicians should talk to someone about guns. That way, when they start talking, they look like they know what they’re talking about.

A list.

Gotta start early.

African villagers arm themselves to stop rapists. Armed with homemade shotguns.

Billlls cannon and pedal air gun.

Judge sentences a mom for spanking her child:

A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas had some harsh words for a mother charged with spanking her own child before sentencing her to probation.

“You don’t spank children today,” said Judge Jose Longoria. “In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don’t spank children.”

Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a “pretty simple, straightforward spanking case.” They noted she didn’t use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks.

Sounds like someone needs to take a lash to the judge.

Well, not to jail. But to resign over this guns in Mexico thing. Good.

a 14-year-old boy was carrying a .22-caliber sawed-off shotgun that he had bought on the street

Six shot, single action in 410

Forgot to tell this story but I thought it was funny. Prior to the LuckyGunner shoot, I had a few bloggers come by the house for some pork tenderloin and my homemade sauce. Come to find out that Kevin and Rick were driving around in a rental with an older GPS and couldn’t quite find my house. And then they saw the tire in the street and found my place.

Preemption strengthened in FL.

Places permit holders can carry in NC expanded.

“Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals, this was the plan. It was so mandated.”

IRS waives tax rules for GM.

Next threat, flying bears.

I was unaware of the hoops you have to go through in Michigan to buy a gun. An safety inspection where they seem to make sure to inspect the make, model and serial number.

The Chicago Gun Registry is a failure:

Despite potential penalties of $5,000 in fines or 90 days in jail, the city’s law appears to have little sway over those who’ve registered with the state to own or possess a firearm. Of the 116,173 Chicagoans who have FOID cards, only 2.7 percent have registered a gun with the city.

Saw this in American Riflemen this week. But Hatfield’s Gunsmithing has an improved racker for Glocks. This would be useful for racking the gun with one hand.

What caliber for chainsaw wielding intruder? Apparently, a baseball bat works.

The folks at Shooting Illustrated got their hands on one, with video.

Called “no knock raid”

Some numbers.

Liston:

… one hoplophobic professor made a good point, that the legislature is posted against all weapons. His question was essentially, why would the legislature legalize carry on campuses, while prohibiting the same in the legislature?
