A round up of internet gun contests.

Magnum Research Fast Action

ACR with GRSC scope

In Knoxville. The KCSO has been cracking down on some of the local clubs for a while. This is the first poker raid I know of that happened in a private residence. Netted a whopping $1,000. I guess they’ve rid the rest of the city of crime.

And it’s not even certain that a home poker game is illegal in Tennessee.

Update: interview with homeowner here. Says it’s usually a $10 tournament.

World Net Daily is stealing Sean’s shirt idea?

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence forgot to.

Governor signs carry bill into law. And then, there was one.

Mike Vanderbough to be on FoxNews.

Pima County Republican chair asked to step down and relinquish his duties. The reason is because he was critical of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department because they shot Guerena in a SWAT raid.

Gun Crossing

My son completely lacks an appropriate sense of urgency. It doesn’t matter if he dropped a Cheeto and the dog ate it or if he’s on fire and in a pit of cobras. The reaction is the same. Emit blood curdling scream that pierces the skulls of those around him. Everything is a crisis. Obviously, the number of times he’s dropped a Cheeto or can’t find the toy he’s looking for occur slightly more often than catching fire and falling in a pit of cobras (I really should move that thing). So the result is that I don’t really go rushing when he howls like a banshee any more. This annoys the wife a little. Not his screaming but that I don’t go rushing to see what is wrong. Because it’s always nothing. We’re working on appropriate reactions, which will probably be met with about as much success as working on our ‘inside’ voices.

Robb notes a woman may go to jail for planting vegetables in her yard.

Obama aide says gun legislation coming:

White House spokesman Jay Carney said a special task force has been “working through these complex issues, and we expect to have some more specific announcements in the near future.”

Does it involve allowing the smuggling of guns out of country? More:

“The president directed the attorney general to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common-sense measures that would improve American safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights,”

I was not invited and I’m a stakeholder. And, if I recall correctly, the NRA refused to attend. Good. Unless they’re showing up to demand law repeals, they have nothing to gain from this.

Borepatch reviews the Quantum.

Agent caught with passenger’s iPad. Alleged to have stolen $50K worth of electronics in the last 6 months.

A proposed fix to allow the District to deal in firearms since the dealer there lost his lease due to zoning. The other fix would be to remove the federal prohibition on buying handguns out of state.

Strikes Saturn!

Coming in 2011

Heh

Michelle Bachmann signs a pledge to support banning porn and condemning homosexuality. And says homosexuality is a choice, which is dumb.

It also is a pledge to reject Sharia law, which also bans porn and homosexuality.

Lack of shooting shows on Netflix and Hulu?

Tim Burchett attends a pro-gun meeting. And tells of the time he used a firearm to defend his property.

43 guns in traffic stop linked to Gunrunner

In the stimulus bill, $10M to fund project Gunrunner. No one claims to have known about the project but it got funded and was mentioned in a speech by Holder in 2009.

Melson met investigators in secret.

Also says higher ups blocked replies to congress.

Congressman uses scandal to promote gun control

Good question: So if the identities of the Mexican criminals were known to the feds, what was the point of Project Gunrunner — and why is Holder so desperately trying to stonewall by withholding hundreds of documents from Congress?

Never give a monkey a gun

Update: I knew I read that somewhere.

Injunction filed for Illinois carry.

Texas snubs the White House and the UN by executing a convicted murderer.

Civil War shotguns

Teen rifle

Ruger Montado

Justice.gov news:

Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.

No mention of the project’s more dubious operations, like allowing guns into Mexico.

Or fake. Who cares, it’s funny:

Kevin reviews the Dragon Leatherworks Talon. One interesting thing about nice-looking, quality holsters I’ve noticed in these blog reviews is that they tend to lead to open carry since you want to show them off.
