In WI:

Members of the public will be able to carry guns when they observe the state Assembly, but not the Senate, under differing rules the two GOP-led houses are developing for separate parts of the Capitol.

Tom has a detailed review.

Will try to stop it. I am shocked.

Eugene Volokh:

Second Amendment Protects Felon Whose Convictions Were 30 Years Ago

Second Amendment / Equal Protection Clause Victory for Legal Alien Gun Owners

Yup:

The Tea Party wants to remove the Crony from Crony Capitalism.

OWS wants to remove Capitalism from Crony Capitalism.

Man who was arrested for carrying on campus twice has felony charges reduced. Looks like the WVCDL is involved.

One of those lame gun buy up programs in Oregon. Except gun guys hang out offering more money than the $50. Obviously, it’s political and not to, say, save perfectly good firearms. And poor Julee: “I think it’s political,” Julee said. “I think it’s unfortunate that they feel they need to have an oppositional presence”.

Firehouse Subs has this new Freestyle Coke Machine. At your fingertips are no less than eleventy billion flavors of cool liquid refreshment. I recommend the Cherry Coke or the Vanilla Coke. And the limeade is good too. I tried the raspberry, not a fan. Where was I? Oh!

Anyway, it’s a fantastic machine that gives you all the carbonated awesomeness you can stand. However, every time I’m at the sub shop partaking of this phenomenal piece of technology, I manage to get behind an 80 year old woman who is looking at the machine much like I think my 5 year old would look at a quadratic equation. And it takes ten minutes for them to either find Diet Coke or realize the iced tea is still in the machine on the counter.

Ninjas invaded my house!

I haven’t laughed that hard at the internet in a long time.

I’m guessing that’s why Obama is making noise about student loans. Another bail out coming.

Mini 14s and AR-15s for sale at Wal-Mart. And handguns for sale at Ace Hardware!

Self reported gun-ownership (a dubious number*) highest since 1993. But remember kids, the Violence Policy Center tells us that gun ownership is down, declining and gun makers aren’t making money.

Gun ownership by state

Meanwhile, SurveyUSA publishes some numbers from a recent poll.

* I mean, would you tell someone you don’t know who called you that you had guns in the house?

Remember when the Tea Party was in Arizona and that one guy lawfully carried an AR-15 in a sling on his shoulder? Remember how it made the news and how the beltway crowd was really freaking the Hell out? Remember how MSNBC used selective editing to make it look like it was a disheveled white guy when it was really done by a clean cut black guy? And the media went into OMG!!!111 mode?

Funny story. Turns out, theres a bunch of guys at Occupy Phoenix wearing camo, tactical gear and carrying around AR-15s and I haven’t heard a peep about it in the press.

And on the local radio news this morning, it was reported that the folks at Occupy Nashville asked the police for protection because, and I am not making this up, they were camped out near a bunch of homeless people. I guess the 99% swings the other way too?

And NYPD says gun crime is up because of Occupy Wall Street.

From the chair of the house committee that oversees them. Good.

Google notes that law enforcement asks to have various unflattering videos of police taken off youtube. Also: The technology giant’s biannual transparency report reveals a 70% rise in takedown requests from US government or police.

Probably coincides with a 70% rise in bureaucrats behaving badly, judging from the news.

Mayors Against Guns claims some mayors are members when they are not.

A bit back, some smart cracker told you what not to do with them. Now, we have How to Properly Use Weapon-Mounted Lights.

And hope and change: Justice Department Proposes Letting Government Deny Existence of Sensitive Documents

Our opponents always deny the racist origins of gun control. Now, they just want to restrict civil rights for all and not just one group. That’s progressive.

Oleg looks at the option, for people who cannot fire other guns:

By this comparison, we can expect a magazine dump from a sporting semi-auto .22 rifle to have an effect similar to a single shotgun blast.

The choice to defend it, not so much.

Toy guns that insult Islam:

The discovery came a few days after Saudi authorities said they seized nearly 1,500 Chinese-made toy guns issuing sounds that mock and insult Aisha, the wife of the Prophet
