Unreal

That a mayor would talk to her constituents like that. Can’t blame people for leaving the city.

Arms control

Senate says no to UN.

Alternative solution

You could go for gun control or do the smart thing and teach gun safety.

I did not know that

Robert has a book.

Remember those tasers mounted on guns

And how I said they should be separate from real guns? Well, now I think making them in common calibers is also a mistake:

Central Precinct Officer Dane Reister mistakenly fired four live rounds at Monroe from a less-lethal shotgun, striking him in the hip with five buckshot pellets.

That new president smell is wearing off

Well, duh:

The accusations imply that Obama is on our side. Or was on our side. And that the right wing is pushing him around.

But the evidence is clear that Obama is an often-willing servant of corporate interests — not someone reluctantly doing their bidding, or serving their interests only because Republicans forced him to.

Gunrunning: Not just for ATF any more

State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas

Poll Cat

Hey, do me a favor. Head over to this FB poll and vote for Shooting Illustrated. I’m partial. I write for them.

Money

What the debt looks like, in $100 bills.

Retaliation

Bob says the Inspector General opened an investigation into whether or not the DOJ illegally retaliated against one of the agents that revealed the gunwalking plot.

News you can use

A while back, some smart cracker told you something he learned: Do not try to catch a dropped gun.

Along that same line, comes another bit of advice that may save your life:

Don’t try and catch the round you’re ejecting. Don’t put your hand over the ejection port. Keep your hand away from it and let the round fall on the ground. It will be there when you get ready to pick it up, I promise.

I have never seen it happen but I’m not gonna risk it. Don’t die for pennies.

Why didn’t they do that in the first place?

TSA loses naked scanners. This is not any sort of victory. But it does show their utter contempt for the people that they didn’t do this to begin with. Now, about that radiation threat?

An open letter to Eric Holder

Stupid or dangerous?

Metal Storm and Taser developing less than-lethal ammunition

Sort of like this idea. But I’m not a fan of mounting on it on your totally lethal AR. Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

More stealing

Free market victory

IJ suit strikes law saying you need a special license to sell wooden boxes.

Music as time machine

Jay waxes about how some songs take you back in time. Some times, they surprise you. My wife’s car has XM radio. When it plays a song, it displays on the screen information about that song. I was kinda bummed do discover that this song turns 20 this year.

Anonymous tip is code for ‘guy who lost a bunch of money’

Having rid Knox County of all crime, the crackdown on gambling continues.

Fraternal Order of Police and guns

Chris Cox sits down with Chuck Canterbury, National President, Fraternal Order Of Police. I used to regularly send money to FOP. But in 2004, they supported extending the ban on weapons that look like assault weapons. They’ve not got a dime since. I wish someone would ask them about that.

Gun names

Fine, I get it. They’re not all numbers.

What media bias?

Brady Campaign Board Member writes opinion piece in the Chicago Tribune. Not disclosed that he’s a member. Also, what’s he saying? I mean it looks to me like he’s saying it’s OK to be racist when it comes to gun laws.

Dual wielding stupidity

Off duty NOPD officer pulls not one but two guns on someone during a minor dispute.

Gun Porn

Knives with interchangeable 1911 grips.

Little and big

Added to the list of guns that I want even though something else does a better job than it: Stoeger Double Defense

Remington 51.

Past and present

Speaking of guns that I want even though something else does a better job than it: scout rifles.

Performance in the middle

I’m digging the new Infiniti commercials that make fun of Lexus. But, come on guys, you need something that hangs with the beamers. Their non-performance cars can hang with you, much less their performance line.

Default

The Federal Reserve is preparing for it.

Paper cuts

Tam: The thousand-and-first cut.

ATF and guns in Mexico

New hearings announced

Concerns from licensed dealers came early. Of course, ATF pressured them.

The scare in TN: Sex Trafficking

Only, like most things that have the authorities shaking their fists, it’s kind of an overstated problem:

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), Coffee County is one of four major locations across the state for human sex trafficking.

However, not a single report from the Tullahoma Police Department completed during the past two years indicates any human sex trafficking incidents.

Via Radley, who has more.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
