What kind of car is your gun?

Heh. More interesting, what kind of gun is your car? I drive an Infiniti G37 BECAUSE RACE GUN and Ford F550 because shit ain’t gonna haul itself.

Romney on guns

Jacob: While Romney’s record on the 2A is poor, he could have at least mentioned in passing the concern that many in the mainstream have that the operation was set up as a backdoor way of promoting gun control.

I wonder when he and John Kerry are going to go duck hunting?

Fast and furious

The fallout at your local gun shop? Honestly, I’ll have to look at my next 4473. I just grab them, check “yes” on the first item and “no” on the rest.

Boohoo

Homeowner upset about ads for guns on buses, lack of Vagisil.

you don’t need a gun in a bar

Unless you do

Oh look, a slightly different 1911, XD, AR, Etc.

A rant about gun magazines, and not the kind you stick in guns. Gun magazines are gear oriented. It’s true. Sure, the frequent piece on drills, training, or how to is shown. But mostly, it’s the gear. I’ve had several ideas for articles for the mag I’ve been known to write for but unless you can sneak some gear in, it’s not a real big draw.

We must ban guns more!

A mass shooting in Canada.

Taking dictation

From the Violence Policy Center. It’s news!

The UN arms treaty

A sneaky way to control guns.

Also, blame Hillary?

Meanwhile, the TSA

Well, that’s one way to avoid the nudy scan.

Gun Porn

Silhouette shooting. You’ll see what I did there.

Got wood?

But I read on the internet that 1911s suck and 9mm sucks more!

Springfield/Warren 9mm 1911 Endurance Test: 2,287 rounds 0 stoppages 0 malfunctions 0 parts breakages

You didn’t build that. Someone else made that happen.

As it should be

No charges against the guy who opened fire on two miscreants who tried to rob an internet cafe. Video of the shooting at the link. A few notes and things to ponder:

You’re range training goes out the window. Seriously, that is not textbook. But that’s what I’d expect. If you’re getting a proper stance, you’re likely not in a defensive guns use.

The appearance of the shooter and, presumably, the fact he’s shooting causes the robbers to haul ass. They like it easy.

Pay attention to the bystanders. I found that interesting.

He pursued the robbers. But, hey, it’s heat of the moment and adrenaline is flowing. He chose fight not flight.

Unfortunately, both robbers lived.

The kaboom that wasn’t

I’m really glad it ‘wasn’t’.

Worthy of parody?

I disagree. He’s an idiot and idiots don’t get parody.

Amazon has everything

Russian SMS Gas Masks

Speaking of Crimson Trace

Their midnight shoot is going on. I should have been there but, hey, concrete ain’t gonna pour itself. But other people are there:

Michael Bane: Tired but wide awake.

Tam: Also tired.

Nick has some video and is tired. Interesting to me, from video, how much you cannot see. Still, I’d like to be there. Tired.

Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder

The NSSF wants you involved in elections. Major civil rights cases decided by one vote!

Reminds me to mention that I still think Roberts is a genius with his Obamacare ruling. You see, the case can still be challenged. Roberts said it’s a tax. Well, you can’t challenge a tax until you pay it, per law. So, once someone starts paying it, he may get a libertarianish twofer. The first being the court actually acknowledges the commerce clause exists. And someone challenging a tax. Sure, I’m way out on a limb but you never know.

Government at work

IRS can’t follow the law 22% of the time. Imagine if you did that.

The TSA cannot stop this.

TSA fails to follow court order.

Also, as it should be

Floridians still support the misnamed “stand your ground” law.

Gun Porn

Because you can: Quad 50

Chris Costa shows you how to make a holster, shows his boobs. Ok, made that last one up.

Crimson Trace Rail Master Tactical Light CMR-202. I got one of those in the mail and need to try it out.

Modern business and big government

DM:

Businesses are trying to gain market advantage, not by being competitive on service, products, and prices, but by getting the government to tilt the odds laws in their favor.

This is nothing new, really, and is like some forms of protectionism. Quite a lot of licensed professions merely serve as a racket for controlling entry into particular business and generating revenues for the state. Do you really need a license, for instance, to paint someone’s fingernails or sell homes? Sure, some jobs may actually require a certification for safety or competency reasons but given the current state of our legal system, I’d rather have a lawyer who was smart than one that just had a license.

And I say that as a CPA.

You dawg, we heard you liked fishing and hunting . . .

A fish hook that is also a gun. When you set the hook, it goes bang, killing the fish. Odd.

Other oddities here.

Gun safety rules

It takes violating two to ruin your or someone else’s day.

The point

I don’t see it.

Challenge accepted

Cool. I was doing well on my challenge until this week, actually. I’ll make up for it.

Romey’s tax returns never killed anybody

Romney brings up fast and furious.

A comprehensive list

For the economic collapse.

More Serp Derp

National Park Service bans their use for employees.

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