Good question

Why won’t California release the results of its lead ammo “study”?

Unsuper Unhero

Look! It’s Disarmament Man!

FBI: Preppers, gun nuts are potential terrorists

You know, unlike actual terrorists.

Finding what fits

A range report

Romney gets one right

Telling some simpleton that corporate money goes to people.

But then:

AUDIENCE MEMBER: You came here to listen to the people!

ROMNEY: Nope, I came here to speak.

Way to be a man of the people.

At the matches

Robert: Notes on firing the Garand/Springfield/Vintage Military.

Super best friends

I’ve searched my copy of the constitution and find no mention of this super committee business. An even more elitist group of elitists picked by elitists from elitists. It’s not good.

All those with Ds after their name get an F from the national taxpayers union.

On the recent riots and other things

England looking at cracking down on social media sites over the recent violence. Just like other oppressive regimes.

Stop calling violent riots flash mobs.

Self defense in the UK.

Take back your right to arms.

Cutaway Maxim Suppressor

I don’t see the point.

Handi rifle in 300BLK. I bet suppressed, that thing would be quiet.

Uhm, what the . . .?

My new t shirt idea

A quick lesson

Dear alleged journalists,

You have, I presume, at your disposal a wealth of resources for research. You have google, interns, books, public records, investigators and so forth. I know this because I have seen them leap into action whenever an affluent white girl goes missing or when you’re trying to destroy a celebrity. Remember the good old days of digging through Sarah Palin’s trash? So, you have it in you.

So, I would think you could figure out that a dealer who ships firearms magazines to someone in another country is already breaking the law. Calling for another one isn’t going to help. I mean, unless you’re motivated by something else.

Oh wait.

Love,

Me

Clarification

If you are defending yourself, you are not a vigilante.

Creepy

Yeah, I noticed this too. Others are reporting it happens on other things. But I only notice it for Obama.

Walking tall

We must clearly ban high-heel shoes.

Chicks and guns

Budding gunnies.

The worst machine gun of all time

On the Chauchat.

Dave Ramsey: Terrorist

Heh.

They should have a sale

Should cops sell guns? Of course they should. A law passed last year prevents PDs from destroying guns confiscated. Eventually, you’ll run out of space.

Things that amused me this morning

When someone comes to my blog and lectures me on a meme I probably started.

On London: That awkward moment when your cousin in Mogadishu sends you a FB message and asks you if you are safe

On Elliot Spitzer: Irony: Guy who pays $10k for a hooker bragging about ‘negotiation’ skills.

Gun Porn

IWI Galil Ace. More here. Pretty sharp looking.

Integral AAC

Size matters

I used to have one of these.

The WaPo gets its gun ban on

An idiotorial: 30 rounds of insanity: gun accessories we don’t need

My supposed need has nothing to do with it. I also don’t need editorials advocating trampling of my rights based on false assumptions and faulty reasoning. But I’m not so petty as to demand they be banned.

Cyberbullying

The Tennessee legislature is peopled with idiots. I hope that causes some of them emotional distress, as that is my deliberate intent. Here’s why:

Among the bad bills passed by the Legislature this year was an amendment to the criminal harassment statute that made it a crime to communicate about another person or display an image via email, web postings or the like that deliberately caused emotional distress or fear. The law, which went into effect July 1, also lets cops and prosecutors demand records from social networks and other service providers to find out who posted any offending message.

This is idiocy. And our representatives should know better.

Bad advice will get you killed

A few years back, I was having drinks with my dad and my sister. And she was going on about an Oprah episode in which they were discussing self-defense and, more specifically, rape prevention. She told us that, per the show’s expert, one thing you can do is get on your back and kick up. After all, your legs are stronger than your upper body. My dad and I quickly explained that that was one of the dumbest things we’d ever heard and not to do that.

Please stop giving bad advice. If you are serious about learning self defense, go to experts.

Also, totally anecdotal, but I was having an off-line conversation with someone about some women’s (namely gun nuts’ spouses) reluctance to carry and train with a firearm, a known and effective means of self defense. Yet, now, I’m struck by the notion that those same women would take the “bird beak” / cheerleader concept to heart.

Mob violence

A round up of other such attacks.

A lot of people are taking to calling these flash mobs. They’re not. Flash mobs, though annoying, are mostly harmless. A lot of these mobs are people using social media to coordinate violence and looting.

Idiotorial

USA Today: If the the NRA wasn’t so effective at defending civil rights, the only guns going into Mexico illegally would come from ATF.

Or something. I really am flabbergasted at the notion of blaming the NRA since, by some counts, hundreds of people have been killed with guns allowed to walk by ATF.

USA Today has a response from NRA. I’m actually a fan of the condescending tone. One should not justify ridiculous claims without ridicule.

Kinda like if you ask someone how much they make and they reply with the net amount

Robb: Company Paid Health Insurance is Part of Your Salary

So is FICA, SS, Medicare, unemployment, etc. All of the money sent on your behalf to someone else.

Personally, I think we should all be paid our gross amount and then remit our taxes to the government. Then, people will figure that out.

I have to admit every time I think about my S&W being made in Massachusetts, I cringe

Gun-friendly states looking to lure gun makers from hostile states.

A look at gun carrying

In Cali, where it’s open and unloaded.

Mast General Store Bans Guns

A no firearms sign at a down town Knoxville store and their response to an inquiry.

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