There’s not justice system, just a legal system

Yup

Stand your ground law study

Finds that nothing really happened and nothing about the law is bad. Gun controllers upset, want more funds to support their version of reality.

The nanny state marches on

Having solved all of NYC’s problems, the city moves to ban sodas larger than 16oz.

That’s where HK tossed Recoil magazine

Advancing in the drug war

States decriminalize recreational use of weed. Obama’s DOJ will crush them for that.

WECSOG an AK

And get the shirt to prove it!

LaserTag

There’s an app for that. And a nifty looking ray gun.

Ambulance drivers to carry guns

In Virginia.

We’ll just make more

Fire up the printers boys, it’s an election year.

“Instabilistan and Al Throwabriq”

Heh.

Oh, Republicans

What would Mitt Romney do to the porn industry?

Right wing versions of left wing ideas. Yeah. One of the things the current R ticket has going against it is that Ryan has voted for all of this spending he now wants to curtail. And, you know, Bush 2 was not exactly one to push for smaller government. In fact, he grew it to the largest point it had been.

Fighting HR silliness

Heh.

At one point, I interviewed with a company and hit it off with the CFO and CEO. Then, I met the operations guy who was running the local show. I’d have indirectly reported to him and we know how that goes. He spent our interview time asking me questions about shifting paradigms and leveraging resources and value added catalysts for change and what kind of tree I would be. You know, that line where hippie-speak meets MBA-speak. It’s right there in that place where white-guilters and environmentalists decided to go to business or law school instead of liberal arts so they can change the world and make some money. Back when consulting was big. It was an odd place. Anyway, after the fifth or so histrionic question, I asked the guy, very dead pan, if he was going to ask me or offer me something substantive. He looked perplexed. And I told him that I think I we’re done here.

A thing hiring people tend to forget is that not only are they interviewing you, you’re interviewing them.

Update: Oh and one of the questions went like this:

Interviewer: How do you handle conflict?

Me: That really depends.

Interviewer: On?

Me: Well, am I right or am I uncertain?

Interviewer: You’re right.

Me: Then I tell them to do it my way and that’s that.

Interviewer: *looks puzzled*

The big iPhone 5 announcement

Oh look, they caught up with Android. From 2010ish.

Scrubbed

The joke about Mayors Against Guns has often been that they are illegal mayors since they seem to get arrested more often than concealed carriers. Well, they seem to have figured out that bit of embarrassment and now scrub mayors from their site when arrested. They can learn.

How Republicans can get me to the polls

By going after TSA. More like this please.

Recoil magazine

And anti-gun groups agreed

Why would you ever need more than 10 rounds

Turn over the internet

Having never heard of the wayback machine or archiver, a judge demands twitter turn over tweets. Ok.

The trouble with gun case law

A lot of it involves defending guys who are sacks of shit.

A brief one

“believe”

So, a “study” that concludes what people believe. I’m convinced.

Bleg: Fixed Blade Work Knife

Need a decent fixed-blade knife for work. I cut everything from corrugated pipe to wood. The folder is nice but not as handy as a fixed blade would be. Thought about a Ka-Bar, but at that price I’d be annoyed if I damaged it. This Gerber also looks to fit the bill.

What say you?

Suppressed firearms at various distances

Cool video:

I especially like that they did some with the camera down range so you can hear it on the receiving end.

How anti-gun is ATF?

So anti-gun, they mis-use the propaganda and sensationalized terms of the anti-gun people.

Because you suck and we hate you

No surprise that H undh K doesn’t want to sell it’s uber tacticool, wizbang odd-calibered personal defense weapon. After all, they shit on the civilian market a lot. But when a magazine that pimps guns to gun people agrees with them that civilians shouldn’t own this gun, that’s stupid. Instead of sucking up to the HK rep and pull a Zumbo, ask them why they think I can’t own a small caliber gun that (being an HK) probably has a shitty trigger?

They did offer a retraction.

Also, H undh K has no problem with this gun in movies.

And it’s having an effect on their advertisers.

Update: Tam:

The ironic thing is that, thanks to the vagaries of 922(r) requirements, a semiauto MP7 clone here would be dumb, awkward, overpriced and just generally turn into eventual CDNN fodder* in the same fashion as the import-neutered G36 variant, the SL8.

Heh.

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