A discussion.

Cool but I don’t see a use for the Aurasma Virtual Browser.

The Versatile Light: 160 lumen, shockproof LED light.

And Pro Series Hearing Protection.

Well, I guess that works.

DNC chair blames the Tea Party for the shooting of Giffords.

The Ohio cop who threatened to kill people regularly has been fired. He has not been arrested for assault, which is what should have happened.

Electronic Round Counter. Ok, then.

.308 Hydra Modular Rifle

EOTech Will Introduce Compact Magnifier at SHOT Show

But a gun makes a good exclamation point.

BalloonGoesUp chimes in. Seems we have similar tastes, here’s my list from a bit back. And midsize M&P sounds like a good idea, especially for those with smaller hands.

Adcor BEAR

Recoil: .950JDJ. It’s a monster.

FNH Thoughts. I want to like them but the two times I’ve handled them, they sort of meh.

More KSG.

So, Mitt won again, just besting Ron Paul*. I guess maybe people didn’t like Newt slamming capitalism. Now, I don’t like Romney and I would jab a hot poker in my eye before voting for him. That said, shut up Newt. Don’t attack capitalism, that’s a realm of douchebaggery reserved for the left. Not good in the primary, Sparky. Romney is right:

Corporations do give money to people. Where do you think the money they rake in goes? To magical fairy land? No, it pays wages, dividends, and buys goods and services. All that goes to people.

We should like firing people who suck. Why would we not want someone who goes to DC to fire people? Hell, that’s a feature.

And, yes, Romney closed businesses which is what you do to unprofitable ones. Suck it up, Nancy.

That said, Romney may have been a capitalist in the private sector. But, in the public sector, he’s never seen a free market that didn’t warrant some government meddling. So, I’m not convinced.

* In other news, two good place finishes for Paul. I’m shocked.

The Apex Tactical Specialties Limited M&P. I like it. I may switch from the RAM and hard sear to the Forward Set Sear and Trigger, since it seems to be the rage these days.

A couple of months ago, I lost my favorite hat. It was a hat that I got when I joined the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (I highly recommend GSSF, BTW). It’s a good, quality hat that looks pretty sharp. Anyway, I’d given up on finding it. And, last week, I was in the closet and actually said aloud Man, I wish I could find that hat. Suddenly, I saw underneath where my shirts hang, a black tip. Reached down, and there it was. I’d seen the tip of the brim. Wow that was lucky, I thought. Then joking to myself, I said aloud Man, I wish I’d win the lottery. So, feeling lucky, I stopped on the way in to the office and bought one of those scratch off lottery tickets because, well, why not? I didn’t win. I didn’t expect to. But it was in good fun. I don’t really believe that I wasted my wish on a hat. That’s because I understand math and probability. Playing the lottery is a losing proposition which is why it makes money mostly for the people who run lotteries.

So, I can’t feel real sympathetic to a guy who is whining because he never won the lottery despite spending $30,000 playing the lottery in a year. And, to make it even more cringe-worthy, he’s actually upset at the guy who did win, despite spending only $30.

Fair and equitable lotteries simply cannot exist.

I concur. If they can say only one per month, why not one per year or decade or lifetime?

Oh Canada:

With the firearms registry on death’s door, the RCMP are using what little time remains to reclassify and seize certain scary-looking guns from Canadian firearms owners.

I don’t even know what this is or is supposed to be.

Sig P228 for $465.

Looks like someone bought their IP and is going to start making them again.

What is that attached to the stock?

Some reviews here and here. I’ve been reading Glock: The Rise of America’s Gun on and off and it’s a good read into the history of the gun industry in general in the 80s and 90s. Lots of stuff I knew but forgot I knew. For instance, how Glock beat S&W to market on the .40S&W caliber that S&W invented.

Also, a quote from the former head of marketing for S&W and Glock that goes something like this: The gun magazines are just shills for the gun manufacturers.

Some nice pics and a write up here.

Moe Lane: Who are the Democratic gun-grabbers in the US Senate? Let’s find out!

Right here, from EOTech.

What government does: A company is fined for not using a biofuel that doesn’t exist.

CSGV: Waaaah.

Per month. There’s really a website set up for financing firearms. Ok, then.
