From PlumCrazy. Interesting concept. Unlike the CavArms, it looks more like a traditional lower. And at the prices I see complete lowers going for, it might be fun to beat one up.

Update: From comments, looks like some issues reported and it may be better suited for a dedicated 22LR.

A woman with terminal bone cancer has a yard sale to cover her medical bills. The police shut her down. It is the law.

Not sure why the hysteria if the kids were appropriately supervised.

I’m a fan. Shooting Illustrated has a look.

I’ve heard of no such blacklist by gun blogs of The Truth About Guns. The accusation that there is one should probably be supported with evidence. After all, I seem to run across their stuff often enough when making my reading rounds. I don’t link often for the same reason I don’t link anti-gun blogs often. I don’t regularly read either.

I don’t read anti-gun blogs for the same reason I don’t read bigots. Why expose myself to such stupidity? Or astroturf? Those who are on the wrong side of history aren’t worth reading. I do read the various blogs of national gun control organizations and link to them to shame them when they say something stupid. And that happens a lot. ETA: To be clear, TTAG is not anti-gun.

As to why I don’t really read TTAG, a few reasons. I realize the icanhascheezburger model of lifting someone else’s pics and commenting is a formula for blog success, but it’s not my thing. When something hits TTAG, I’ve already seen it. Everything on the front page today, I read yesterday.

Also, bad etiquette to lift entire posts.

When I briefly meet two guys from TTAG at the NRA convention, they made it pretty clear they were in it for the free stuff. The blog is a money making venture. Good on ya and I wish you luck in that. But the rest of the gun blogs are about community.

Yeah, that will happen if you pull the trigger. Fortunately, it was with a Taurus Judge so injuries are not life-threatening.

A new program to profile people instead of fondling grandmothers and children. What a novel concept.

Survival shotgun. How exactly are you supposed to use that bayonet?

Uhm, no.

Another gun I don’t get: the survival rifle

Funny how that happens when you give guns to criminals:

Yeah, getting in your foreign-made, $2.1M dollar bus that we pay for and you’ll likely use campaigning, probably not the best way to bring the hope and the change.

Speaking of, he ran on hopenchange. I wonder what the next slogan will be since most have lost hope and there’s not been much change.

A run on shotguns. Handguns, barring a short barreled rifle, are probably the better choice for home defense. That depends on house layout, of course. Navigating hallways with long barrels can be problematic.

WizardPC: I would like politicians and bureaucrats to acknowledge this:Every law,rule,and regulation made by the government ends in puppy killing SWAT Teams.

Adding a new one.

Update: See?

Yahoo:

Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters

I wouldn’t get my hopes up on being recognized as a country though. That club is pretty exclusive. And, of course, there are pirates.

Now, a book. And it’s actually artistic and not, you know, tacky like Sniper Babes.

Penn Jillette on why he’s a libertarian: I don’t know

Trouble with other ideologies is the perceived need to do something. Even if it’s the wrong thing or they don’t know why or it never works. Doesn’t matter. We must do something. For the children. To make us feel better. Or a rainbow farting unicorn. Whatever.

I’ve often heard this bogus argument* that the trouble with libertarianism is that, gosh golly, you don’t offer an alternative plan. Why would I? The current road leads to ruin. Why would I try to patch that road?

And bonus points for Jillette for using government is force in the MSM.

* Not really an argument. More a logical fallacy implying that it’s stupid to offer no alternative to some current horrible set of circumstances and being unwilling to play the game. I’m not justifying anything. That doesn’t mean you’re not wrong.

From, uhm, Slate?

You know, when he just voted “present” instead of actually doing stuff. Oh, wait.
