Too little, too late

If only there was this thing called a fair hearing where you would have heard all that stuff: Connecticut Supreme Court Justice to Susette Kelo: “I’m Sorry”

The Sarah Palin Special?

What is wrong with Sig lately?

Law textbooks on the second amendment

Sebastian:

The totality of our opponents loss in Heller and McDonald probably didn’t really hit me until I saw this post over at Volokh on a new law school textbook on the Second Amendment.

Very cool realization.

From the glass house

Heh.

Portal Custom Grips

That’s how long ATF made a gun dealer illegally sell guns.

The woman whose guns were taken, apparently unlawfully by the police, have been returned.

Oh, wait, it is. Open carrying a banana.

No blog

Wake up. Mark all read. Back to bed. Need the rest.

Let me know if anything happens.

Listening ears

Some grief given by me and others to the press over their account of the the IHOP shooter using an automatic weapon. Not sure, but sounds like it could have been. See video at about 1:15.

Another Attack Watch

Hmmm. I thought maybe they were talking about this?

Advice

In comments on the feds mistakenly raiding a reporter’s home, from Kevin who notes:

It was interesting to note the change in tone as soon as they were told that a CBS correspondent was in the house, though. I may have to try that myself if they ever kick in my door.

Heh. Except I think it’s illegal to lie to the feds.

Housekeeping

You no like my button!

So, my share button thing went over about as well as bringing Michelle Anne Sinclair home to meet mom. Any other suggestions for sharing on the social intertubes that’s less annoying?

Maybe a wrong house raid will get good media coverage now?

Oops: Feds Wrongly Raid Home Of CBS Correspondent In Alameda:

I see what turns out to be eight uniformed, armored, armed officers – four of which are pointing guns through the window at my face.

Wild hogs in Florida

Or, you know, bacon delivery? A lot of critters are getting a bit too comfy in suburbia because we don’t shoot them. Here in The City (My The City), it’s coyotes. And don’t shoot a 400 pound hog with a shotgun. It just annoys the pig.

In the mountains near my house, there are feral pigs. And hunters are encouraged to hunt them and trap them. A friend of mine has several pit traps for them. One day, he happened to be near his traps and decided to check on them. Lo and behold, he’d snagged one. Trouble was, he only had his handguns, a 1911 Kimber. So, he shot the hog. And shot it again. Started to load his second magazine and realized it was probably a waste of time. Went home and got his 300 Winmag and one shot took down Mr. Oinky, who, by the way, was delicious.

Schools and the gun culture

And renormalization.

Layers of editorial oversight

The OMG:

The agency says its agents were on patrol in Fronton, a rural area about 250 miles south of San Antonio Tuesday when they found a black bag hidden in the brush near the river. Inside there were six assault rifles, one grenade launcher, one rocket launcher, 20 ammunition magazines and three packages of what appeared to be the plastic explosive known as C-4.

Then, more OMG:

Weapons purchased in the U.S. are commonly smuggled to criminal organizations in Mexico.

And where, oh where, can one go buy grenade launchers, rocket launchers and C-4? I’ve never been to that store.

Gun books

And one that holds your gun.

Graphics matter

In FL

Judge blocks law prohibiting doctors from asking about guns in the home.

Rob Pincus reads the gun blogs

And he and I agree on something: we prefer 9mm to 40.

As some smart guy said once (from memory, cannot find the post): 30% more cost and recoil for 10% more performance.

Hope and change

In NY, a Republican wins a seat for the first time in eleventy billion years. And he’s pro-gun.

Ouch

the first post-American president

Brownells

Company history

Do this don’t do that

Can’t you read the sign?

Stupid billboards

I saw one of these on the road the other day. Kept meaning to go back and snap a pic. But, seriously, who would try to scan a billboard with their smart phone?

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