The TSA at work

First, I’m surprised they’re actually patting themselves on the back for keeping a plane safe from the scourge of a can of soup. Then, it occurred to me that our government is actually wasting money on them to have a damn blog in the first place.

She’s always been a little off

But when, exactly, did Sarah Brady go completely bonkers?

Zombies and bras

The Blaze does the NRA annual meeting.

Classy

Anti-gun trolls and their War on Women.

We must ban video games

Seems the nut job in Norway practiced by playing Modern Warfare and World of Warcraft. Color me skeptical that, basically, role-playing social media played a role in that.

JR Carbine

A 45ACP AR that takes Glock magazines. I like it.

With all the cool kids getting them, someone needs to make one for the M&P.

But they tell me gun sales are down!

Ruger sold 1.25M firearms last year.

Jeanne Assam on the radio

Jack has the skinny.

So much fail

FoxNews: A man was killed during a Masonic initiation ceremony when another member fired a gun loaded with real bullets instead of the expected blanks and shot him in the face, police said Tuesday.

There’s a reason why you treat guns like they’re loaded and also don’t point them at things you don’t want holes in.

In AK

ATF allegedly broke the law, compiling copies of form 4473. Now, a senator has stepped in to investigate.

But no one will notice, care

GET READY FOR MEDIA MATTERS-LED ASSAULT ON THE NRA

More winning

Or, rather, they’re losing.

Remington responds

NBC did an uncorroborated hit piece on Remington. They’ve responded with a series of videos.

“psychologically unfit”

A police officer tried to stop her fellow officers from beating someone on a medical call. Guess who is on a departmental trial?

Winning

DC a little more gun friendly.

All that stuff you read on the internet

Crowdsourcing and AR-15 build

You’re not voting your way out of this

You voted your way into it.

V 2.0

Comparing 511 Covert Pants 1 v. 2.0. I have about 5 pairs of the version 1.0. Never tried the new ones.

Shooting the Shield

Having a go with it.

Holy Crap

Gun Porn

AAC stuff in a video game

I want one of these: H&R Handi Rifle in 300 BLK

It’s so not tactical that it’s tactical

Shots from the NRA meeting

Hipster AR

Presented without comment:

look, doofi

Deal Alert

$140 off Energy Take SAT Speaker

Beware, yellow dog democrats

Apparently, Obama has eaten dog meat. I don’t actually care about that. If the press hadn’t had such a good time with Romney strapping his dog to his car, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning.

A shift

Tam on Jan Brewer’s veto of extending carry said something that struck me as, well, pretty important. Says Tam:

Arizona’s Republican Governor Jan Brewer, who dismayed Democrats by never meeting a gun law she didn’t like, finally met a gun law she didn’t like.

Did you catch it? You see, today the phrase ‘gun law’ means a law that is good for gun rights. A few years back when used in conversation, it typically meant a restriction of some kind.

Winning.

Jumping ship

A record number of Americans are renouncing their citizenship and getting out. For tax reasons.

In Canada, where free speech is banned

It’s a start, I guess:

A new survey marking this week’s 30th anniversary of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms shows Canadians remain largely – but far from unanimously – resistant to surrendering certain rights in the name of reducing the threat of terrorism.

A Virginia Tech Parent You Won’t Hear About In The Press

A mom speaks out:

I would give anything if someone on campus; a professor, one of the trained military or guardsman taking classes or another student could have saved my daughter by shooting Cho before he killed our loved ones.

Gun Blogger Rendezvous will be 7

Wow. Where’d the time go. You can register here.

On the Nuge

Ted is getting the secret service treatment (not the one with hookers) over his rhetoric in which he said, clearly figuratively, chop their heads off in November. And did he threaten the president? No. His rhetoric is definitely over the top. His over the top rhetoric probably brings people into the movement.

Adam Winkler says we need a better public face than Ted Nugent. Maybe but it’s also the media. When pushing their narrative, do they want to reference a handsome, clean cut guy in a suit speaking rationally about gun laws or some over the top rock star who fits the redneck stereotype?

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