In case you need to know

Firearms law Canada

in NV

Native Americans attacked by skinheads. And the police seem to be helping the attackers.

In Illinois

State rep says they’re the only state without a carry provision because they are a very different state. Yes, they are.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Andrew Goddard thinks gun accidents are funny.

Glock or 1911?

Yes

Killing over stuff

Good advice:

As a general rule unless its some snot-nosed Ritalin-kid mouthing off, I’m going to assume they do indeed mean to kill me over something as trivial as my wallet.

Once someone presents a weapon and threatens you, there is disparity of force. Act accordingly. Attack brutally and unrelentingly until the threat stops or runs away.

Jay points out that gambling with a thug is a mostly losing proposition.

Putting a price on it.

2010: The year of the .380

Numbers. Being the trendsetter I am, I got mine in 2006.

Chicks and guns

Lissa shoots IDPA!

ATF Gunrunning

The hits keep coming:

Foxnews uses the C word

Uh Oh: ‘Fast and Furious’ scandal grows with revelation that Mexican cartel suspects may be paid U.S. informants

There’s Still No Evidence That Eric Holder Knew About Operation Fast and Furious.

Has the head of ATF blown the cover of agents?

Rule 2

AZ senator likes her pink Ruger and shows it off to a reporter. By pointing it at him.

Not helping.

Stupid v. Evil

Democrats oppose choice. Granted, the initial bill was a Republican bill.

Casey Anthony Crap

Senator McConnell says that because of the trial, terrorists could win. Because juries are so stupid. Or something.

Caylee’s law is a bad idea. I’ll go a step further and say it’s irretrievably stupid. So, of course, Tennessee Democrats are looking to pass one in our state. And it will probably pass. And it’s stupid.

Why there was an acquittal:

The prosecution did not prove a cause of death.

The prosecution therefore did not prove that the death was caused by another person, because they don’t know the cause of death.

Do I think she did it? Yup. But the prosecution sucked and we don’t go executing people because some guy on the internet thinks you did something.

Gun Porn

I’m all out!

BATF has ruled .223, 6.5 Grendel and 6.8SPC cartridges are now pistol cartridges?

So reports the proprietor of Elite Tactical Ammunition. I searched for a ruling on this and cannot find one. However, the president of the company states that the ATF SWAT Team showed up with a search warrant and told him that.

Interesting, if true.

The trouble with conservation

On a recent vacation, our room contained this toilet:

suck it, hippie

Now, I understand the reasoning here. The conservation minded would like you to use one button for number one and the other for number two, thereby saving some water and utility bills and stuff.

But here’s how it actually worked. The kids saw the two buttons and I explained to them how it worked. They each then proceeded to hit each button about six times so they could verify that, yes, one button did actually use less water.

About those gun reforms

Looks the Obama administration may go the executive order route:

But in a nod to the difficulties of getting legislation through a Republican-run House of Representatives, only executive orders or administrative actions — and not an actual bill — are expected to be handed to Congress.

And:

Administration officials were coy on the specifics, from the reforms the Department of Justice would recommend or when it would actually make those recommendations.

Lacking any specifics or no real plan at all?

A failure of the state

Newark to require fast food places that are open late to post armed security guards.

83 year old woman fined $100 for properly disposing of trash

In NY. Another case for discarding refuse in the street.

The future

Illustrated by the calculator.

In Illinois

A motion for injunction in NRA’s case:

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is filing a motion for an injunction asking the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois to immediately strike down Illinois’ complete and total ban on carrying firearms for self-defense outside the home or place of business.

The truth slips out

And Steven Chu can just fuck right off:

We are taking away a choice that continues to let people waste their own money

Dragon Leatherworks Review

Stingray has a bit of a review and notes that Dragon Leatherworks is fuckin’ awesome.

I agree. And I need to a more detailed review of mine at some point. Been a bit busy.

In Missouri

Governor signs gun law reforms into law. Excellent.

Bachmann Update

No, she didn’t sign a pledge to ban porn. She did pledge to increase the size and scope of government though.

ATF gunrunning to Mexico

A round up.

Pretty much: Obama Sold, Tracked, Same Guns To Cartels He Hoped To Ban Because They Were Tracked From Cartels

Remember, under the radar.

IBD: The evidence suggests that Agent Terry’s death was financed by the president’s stimulus package with the full knowledge and support of Attorney General Holder.

Ouch: This program is so plain stupid that it smacks of Obama thinking it up himself.

John Lott:

This case can almost be viewed as if the Obama administration wanted to increase the number of American guns used in crimes in Mexico.
The timing of the “Gunwalker” case is even more troubling since the program got going at about the same time that the Obama administration was trying to claim (falsely) that American guns were showing up in a significant number of Mexican crime scenes.

Is it possible that the Obama administration pushed this program to help gin up more support for gun control in the United States?

So long

Paul Helmke’s last day at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership was yesterday. Speculation on a successor is probably premature. I’m not certain what successes he mentioned here unless it’s that one state still bans carry of guns. Good bye, Paul. And good luck.

Bumper sticker philosophy

What yours says about you. To the police.

$500K

That’s how much it will cost The City (My The City) to comply with federal road sign regulations.
