But this guy really is: Tom Connelly held own head on after chainsaw accident

No idea what this is but a friend sent it to me:

In an update to the AZ senator and her gun handling, someone suggested gun school. Well, she accepted.

Excellent. Firearms training and education is important.

Linoge and Jacob look at Obama’s gun control plan.

Man with a gun at a mall! Police called. Nothing happens.

Remember when an AZ state senator pointed a gun at a reporter? She tells a different version:

I was asked to show the reporter my weapon so that they could take pictures of it. I ensured that the chamber was clear before displaying the weapon. That is basic gun safety and something that I do instinctively, just like virtually every gun owner.

The photographer, who was behind me at the time, asked me to show him the laser sight and I did so, turning it on and shining it on the wall in front of me (away from the photographer). During this demonstration, the reporter came and sat down in the sofa in front of me, placing himself in the line of the laser sight.

I put bold around the last sentence because the media omits that little bit from it’s reprint of her release for some reason.

Now, who hasn’t shown a gun to someone curious about it? Sure, stop touching it and all. But people do show other people their guns. And I hope the wall she pointed it at was a safe direction.

For the gun nut with a sweet tooth.

Make the ultimate zombie defense shotgun.

Personally, shotguns are a horrible choice for zombies. A low recoil rifle is better.

Bob has set up a confidential tip line for information on ATF’s gun exporting shenanigans.

You learn what they think. Indiana state senator surprised by support for legalizing marijuana.

Cool. Trying to figure out what’s up with the double muzzle brake on that Saiga.

Obvious statement is obvious:

In every House and Senate election nationwide since 1990, the gun industry and its backers have outspent gun-control advocates by wide margins, according to an Arizona Republic analysis of campaign-finance data compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. In 2010, 66 percent of the gun-rights donations in House races and 88 percent in Senate campaigns went to Republicans.

Because we actually have grassroots and real people. And we put our money where out mouth is. Our opponents prefer to hold their breath until they turn blue.

It’s like a daily feature.

Tam: ATF has announced a plan to cut down on gun smuggling to Mexico. I guess going cold turkey would be too hard.

David Hardy: Did Fast & Furious violate the Arms Export Control Act?

Issa and Grassley’s letter to holder. Interesting. Makes clear the Melson likely isn’t the fall guy.

New rules: The new regulations will require ATF bureaucrats in four border states, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, to file new reports with themselves each time they illegally send more than 2 high-powered, semi-automatic rifles across the border within a 5 day period. Heh.

Michael Bane: The amazing thing to me is that the administration is sticking to its narrative, e.g. the “Iron River” of guns flowing into into Mexico, even though the “Fast and Furious” Congressional investigation and subsequent revelations have proven conclusively that they only Iron River flowing into Mexico is the one being run by the U.S. government.

13th straight month of increased gun sales.

Good:

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade association for America’s firearms industry – announced today that it will file a lawsuit challenging the legal authority of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) under the Gun Control Act to compel 8,500 federally licensed firearms retailers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas to report the sale of two or more semi-automatic rifles larger than .22 caliber and capable of accepting a detachable magazine that are purchased following an FBI background check by the same individual within five consecutive business days.

So reports Josh Gerstein:

The National Rifle Association is vowing to sue the Obama administration after it announced Monday that it will begin to require gun dealers in four border states to send reports to the government following multiple sales of some semi-automatic longarms.

“They don’t have the statutory authority to do it and we’ll file a lawsuit as soon as the first letters are sent” demanding the sales information from dealers, the NRA’s legislative director Chris Cox told POLITICO Monday afternoon.

Good.

An appropriately named column too.

Via Joe, who notes: What isn’t explicitly stated is that the requiring the reporting of gun sales cannot be done by executive order. A change of this type requires legislative action.

The NRA has a petition.

Memphis bans spray paint sales to minors.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole has ordered the reporting of multiple rifle sales to ATF for southern states (racist!). Even though the move is probably illegal.

In an update to this, a look at the laws, rules, and arbitrary rules that may be in place. I still rather have my doubts about this. But we’ll see.

Pilot loses gun. IIRC, pilots can only have their weapons while in the cockpit when it’s locked. And they must leave them in their bag until they get there. This policy seems to be causing some problems. This is not the first time unnecessary gun handling via bureaucratic fiat contributed to gun safety issues on plane. A bit back, a pilot had a discharge in the cockpit.
