No, they haven’t. What they really mean is they want some junk science that advocates gun control and they’re stumped.

Tam notes that people are not really defending the 1911 so much as their sense of self-worth in gun selection. I think to an extent. Pretty much, you want a gun that’s reliable, reasonably accurate and with decent stopping power. And a whole lot of guns fit that bill quite nicely.

Update: more from Robb:

you must be stupid for purchasing a Blast-O-Matic PBS 3000 and Heaven forbid you point out why my Leadchucker XKCD doesn’t work for you because golly gee, you might as well be taking a dump on my mother’s grave!

Another update: Yup.

You go girl:

A woman who had just finished doing overnight work in a Landrum business on Saturday was assaulted by two men, but ended up turning the tables on them when she pulled out a gun and shot at them.

No confirmation she hit them, though.

I have their AR sight picture shirt. I really like the shirt. It looks good and is comfortable. Also, it’s quite handy to wear to the range when teaching new shooters how to shoot your AR. Some newbies don’t understand the concept of sight picture and having a picture of one on you is really helpful in getting them to do it properly.

Politifact calls bullshit on The Brady Campaign to Cling To Relevancy’s claim that anyone can get a permit to carry in Florida without leaving their house.

The VPC is butthurt that gun companies give money to groups that advocate gun rights and gun safety.

Ok, then

Tennessee has nation’s lowest tax burden.

Down on her luck waitress gets a tip to the tune of $12K. Thinking it may have been a mistake, she calls the cops. They take the money and, after some time goes by, refuse to give it back. Because it may be drug money. I suppose it hinges on if you believe that was really a tip or it came from two really stupid drug buyers.

Police chief says shotguns are antiquated and they want rifles. Shotties are far from antiquated but you use them for different things than you would a rifle.

In Maryland, processing carry permits has been stayed while the lawyers do lawyer things.

In Illinois, Second Amendment Foundation sues over a gun ban in public housing.

Also, in Illinois, supreme court expected to rule on assault weapons ban.

Look like it. But it’s not like Magpul can export a lot of magazines out of country.

Michael wants K-Town to host a national social media event and he’s asking for votes.

After my various GI issues, the docs found nothing. So, I made some dietary changes. First, I started having only two cups of coffee a day instead of my usual pot. The other thing is I started drinking kefir. A dear friend told me of its health benefits, I read up on it and gave it a shot. You can get this brand in the hippie tree-hugging section at Kroger. It’s delicious and, actually, pretty filling.

After a bit of research, I discovered I could make my own. However, I wasn’t too keen on keeping a culture in my house and fermenting milk. But someone much braver than me gave it a shot and approved. So, I hopped on the internet where you can have the grains shipped right to your door. Simple process to make consists of putting the grains in milk and waiting. I leave mine out for 48 hours instead of 24 because it thickens it up. Then, in the morning, I add some kefir and frozen fruit to a blender for a nice breakfast smoothie.

I’m not sure at exactly what point I become a hippie. But it’s odd, though, keeping cultures in your house that you eat. It’s like a pet that you eat.

Anyway, now that I told you all that, I had this weird dream the first day I got my kefir. It grew into a blob, a rather large one. And started moving around. Next thing you know, it’s running around the house and it’s apparently intelligent. And it’s freaking the cats out because it chases them and tastes like milk. So, I tell it that it’s freaking people out. Then, the blob assumes the shape of a dog and starts acting like a dog. I had a pet with a wet, squishy bark who I occasionally used to flavor a drink.

Weird.

What happens to my internets when I die?

Digital estate planning for tweeps and facebookers.

A look at estate planning for your blog.

In DC, the police refuse to admit they gave out false information to gun owners and they refuse to alter the forms.

It’s one of the biggest scams state governments have pulled to get some tax money. The rules make it hard for someone to claim the property or even know they have it. The state, then, takes and holds it for so long before deciding it’s theirs. As a result, Amex will no longer sell gift cards in New Jersey.

A series of bills in Utah. From one of the bills, comes this:

(b) A person may not provide to a dealer or other person what the person knows to be materially false information with intent to deceive the dealer or other person about the legality of a sale, transfer or other disposition of a firearm or dangerous weapon.
(c) “Materially false information” means information that portrays an illegal transaction as legal or a legal transaction as illegal.

It’s like they have someone in mind. Via reader tango.
