Not sure what they’re saying but a Russian keeps sending me gun porn: An Aug? And I dunno what this is.

In a September 12, 2011 article for Bloomberg.com, writer John Crewdson has admitted to committing willful perjury in order to obtain a Florida concealed weapon/firearm license, a second degree misdemeanor under Florida statutes.

Ruh Roh: Issa: ‘Only way’ Eric Holder ‘didn’t know’ about Fast and Furious is if ‘he made sure he didn’t want to know’

It’d be nice to have some real press. And this would be getting the coverage it deserves.

People have mentioned to me before that the rise of the use of SWAT teams on low-level crimes was to 1) justify the existence of Little Town, USA even having on call ninjas in the first place and 2) to train the SWAT team with low-level and (presumably) low-risk entries. More evidence that is the case is advocating they practice on people:

Team commanders must raise the profile of their teams. Stay active. Yes, I mean do warrant service and drug raids even if you have to poach the work. First, your team needs the training time under true callout conditions. If all your team does is train, but seldom deploy, you will end up training just to train. You need to train to fight. You already know that.

Second, make SWAT familiar to senior police staff. Everyone fears the unknown. Don’t let SWAT be that unknown. Make deploying SWAT something that is routine, not something only done after much hand-wringing. “Oh, no! You mean we have to call SWAT? Oh, I don’t know, I just don’t know. Really? Call SWAT? Really?”

That’s all fine and good until someone gets killed. And that’s happening with increasing frequency these days. Not to mention all the dead dogs.

In the remake of Red Dawn, which the thought of probably gives your average internet gun nut a turgid little nubbin, is changing the enemy from Chinese to North Korean. Seems the Chinese might actually watch our movies. And we can’t offend people. This is why most successful movies of late have bad guys that aren’t, generally, of a nationality. And are easy for everyone to rail against. Like zombies, aliens, or ourselves.

I think Nazis are still OK.

Yes. Also, some scary numbers:

“It mushroomed into an army,” Mica said. “It’s gone from a couple-billion-dollar enterprise to close to $9 billion.”

As for keeping the American public safe, Mica says, “They’ve failed to actually detect any threat in 10 years.”

That last part is rarely mentioned.

Some pretty fascinating stats about government regulation, including:

regulations on new business rose to 3,573 final rules in 2010, up from 3,503 in 2009 — the equivalent of about 10 per week.

the 2010 volume of the Federal Register, the “newspaper” of regulatory agencies, stands at an all-time record-high 81,405 pages

And, of course, 180M words of binding federal law. Not sure about that since, recently, lawyers and academics gave up on trying to count them. Just counting them. Not reading them. Counting.

Mayors Against Guns (who are 45 times more likely to be convicted of crimes than Florida concealed firearm license holders) commissioned a poll to get their desired results. Because they’re scared.

I was unaware that Waffle House is sort of a gauge for assessing storm damage. This is actually quite fascinating. They run generators and alter the menu depending on damage.

In case of zombies, head to Waffle House.

Very cool:

Outback actually drove their catering truck into the back of a C-17 and flew it to Afghanistan in what they called Operation Feeding Freedom. Since that day, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (which includes Outback Steakhouse, Carraba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine), has traveled every year to feed the troops abroad. And they do it without publicizing their efforts.

If you think that your opponent in the debate can understand or capable of rational thought, by all means I think it’s a great idea to engage them. However, when their core assumptions are wrong and they are beyond reason, then ridicule, scorn and shame may work. But I generally just ignore these blathering idiots.

So says a study that I’d be interested in knowing who paid for. I guess that’s an improvement since it used to be that Spongebob was making your kids gay.

Besides, this is actually funny.

OK then:

A 290-pound New York man is steaming mad at the White Castle fast-food chain, which he claims repeatedly broke promises to make the booths in his local eatery bigger.

Martin Kessman, 64, filed a lawsuit against the fast-food giant last week in Manhattan federal court, claiming that the uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people.

Phil: As you load your last mag into your chosen weapon, what song comes up your MP3 player/IPOD?

Some of us did that back in 2008! I think I’d probably add Trapped Under Ice – Believe in the mix.

Handcuffed faced down on his stomach for open carrying. Now, he’s suing. Also, this is interesting:

Police took the .45 caliber handgun and his ammunition, and asked if he had documentation for the weapon. Haman said he showed a purchase receipt and a concealed-weapon permit although it’s not required for open carry.

Really? Who carries a receipt for the purchase of their gun?

Some times, the truth comes out.

Guns as practical and guns as political collide. While I, for practical reasons, agree with Rob, I’m in the odd position of also agreeing with Alan for political reasons. The Wookiee Suiter in me says Yes, carry for any damn reason you choose because you can. The practical side of me says Well, if I’m open carrying when something happens, I’ll likely be involved whether I needed to be or not. YMMV.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership is looking for a CEO. You’d think someone would be lined up for that job but, instead, they’re posting job ads.

Some videos of the anti-tank gun in action. Cool.
