The revolution will not be facebooked

Stroke of the pen, law of the land.

Obama signs executive order giving him control of all communication systems in America.

Excellent idea

Hey, we’ve dropped firearms behind enemy lines before!

Unreasonable search

In TN, a new law says you can’t refuse a BAC test at a traffic stop. And they’ll force a blood draw if you keep it up.

Good

This should be nothing that requires a federal case but Court Rules Confiscated Firearms Be Returned After Case is Closed

On the hug shooting

Some more stuff. The mother of the victim says it’s fishy. Yes, I think so. And don’t carry a soft body holster.

Some more details here, featuring someone I know.

That’s Racist

New ATF form 4473 forces buyers to confirm or deny being Hispanic or Latino.

DOJ probe into whether or not whistle blowers are safe from retaliation.

I’m guessing no.

Can you say subida?

So, at the new gig, I managed to hurt myself and it requires a band-aid. As a father, all of the band-aids in the house are some sort of kid’s cartoon character. I get up the other morning and put on a pink band-aid. I head out to the job site and am relaying instructions and comparing notes with the foreman. After talk of the day’s plans, what needs done and all manner of detail, he looks at my wrist where the band-aid has come loose and is flapping in the wind and in his best alpha male voice says “Your Dora is falling off.”

I said “It’s a princess, asshole”.

Right now, I have a Phineas and Ferb band-aid.

More ‘hug of death’

So, the cop was using a soft, probably nylon holster that did not cover the trigger. Holsters should secure the weapon and that includes covering the trigger. Also, a reader emails that MI has a law saying cops can’t carry if their BAC is above a certain level. This was after midnight at a party. What are the odds? And what are the odds his BAC was actually checked?

Changes in suppressor laws

Silencer association addresses ATF and congress. On the block, LEO sign off? I’d be surprised.

Oldest Congress Ever

I hear this ad on the local talk radio by Weston Wamp talking about how the oldest, most experienced congress ever is always fucking things up. Maybe we need new blood. Can’t find the ad online but I don’t disagree. Too may old farts who’ve been there too long.

The only thing worse is nepotism.

Round up of internet gun contests

You’d think a judge and prosecutor would have heard of the first amendment

Supposed ‘family law’ (which is the law of families breaking up, really) is pretty ridiculous. But if you call the judge out for it, they’ll trump up charges and punish you.

SMLE needs more smiley

Well, if I liked the idea of a shotty for a truck gun, sure.

20 servings of woopass. I know, it should be ‘whoop ass’. Russians.

VKS Sniper Rifle

If I understand correctly

Rahm Emanuel got on the TV and begged gangbangers to stop shooting kids. Citing values and magical unicorns. This man run the third largest city in the nation. The message should have been that you would round them up and arrest them. What a puss.

Gun safety

So, a woman was killed when she hugged a police officer and set off his gun. Based on what I’ve read, I’m puzzled at the mechanics. She hugged him from behind, so that has to mean shoulder holster most likely. But if the holster covered the trigger, how did it get pulled? Something is missing, this does not pass the smell test.

Be sure of your target and what’s behind it:

She was in the basement when she heard a loud “bang,” and then her 13-year-old son started screaming. A bullet had struck the family room window and continued on, piercing a wall in a bedroom closet where her 17-year-old son was sleeping.

Because that’s what you need

1911 grips for your AR-15.

NRA goes after incumbent?

House Republican Caucus Chairman Debra Maggart has not been so good on gun rights lately, stalling some legislation. Despite her clay shoots and the constant emails I get from her on her pro-gun stances, the proof is in the pudding. NRA has shelled out cash for her opponent, which is odd since they usually back incumbents who are reasonably pro gun.

Gun reviews

Am I the only one who didn’t get a Kriss?

The Boberg XR9-S.

If there was a reward for how they got the gun . . .

So, the feds have offered a reward for info on the folks who shot Brian Terry with the gun they let walk across the border.

Bronies: ruining cool things.
