AR-15 for $190

I’ll take 10. Popular Science reviews the AR-15 in 1963.

The target

Targeting moderates and going with infighting. One thing I’ve found effective at swinging moderates is to point out that none of the laws proposed disarm criminals. Only honest people.

In Colorado

A democrat said that women who think they might get raped should use a whistle or at least wait until they’re “rape raped” before defending themselves. Now, one more genius democrat says use a ballpoint pen. I like my Tactical Pen but it’s what I carry onto airplanes or other places where I can’t have shooty things or stabby things.

And a college tells women that, to prevent rape, they should puke or pee on their rapist. Or, you know, increase the number of holes in their bodies.

Mexican radio

Mexico wants a registry of US gun owners. Strange, so do the Democrats.

Testing pepper sprays

Only a true friend lets you pepper spray them for science. I have been pepper sprayed. More accurately, I pepper sprayed myself. And it sucks. But, having done that, I’m fairly confident I can still react fairly well if sprayed again since I know what to expect.

WTF?

Police choke a man with Down’s to death. Over sitting in a movie theater.

Safety has nothing to do with it

Red light cameras are about money

Hey, man, nice shot

And if you miss, dinner is served:

Get offa my lawn

Had this same experience on a recent jaunt to the grocery store, though one magazine was entirely about presumably famous people I’d never heard of getting fat. And if I listen to a top 40 station or an adult hits station, I have no idea who those people are.

Though I wonder if it’s really age? I tend to think it’s more my increased usage of the internet. I simply have a choice about what is piped into my home and I don’t just have to sit there while someone pipes into my home whatever they choose. But it could be age.

Mechanical safety devices

Are no substitute for thinking.

What media bias?

Truth v. fiction

Well, that’s simple. They’re both wrong.

Meanwhile, the press quotes Rand Paul exactly wrong.

If it’s worth shooting

It’s worth shooting multiple times. Despite TV and action movies depictions, people don’t don’t just drop when shot. So, shoot until they stop.

Armalite Steps In It

Rude to a gun rights person, will continue to sell to officers in states that ban their rifles.

I dunno that the latter is something I’d be too inclined to hold their feet to the fire for. After all, do you really think Glock, Sig, S&W, etc. would stop selling guns or magazines in bulk with their lucrative police bulk contracts?

Idiot

Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar says women don’t need a gun because what you think might be a rape may not be one. So you should wait, use a whistle and call the cops. Or click your ruby red slippers together a couple of times, it’d be as effective.

“May issue”

Is usually will not issue.

In LA county, the folks who get carry permits line up quite well with the sheriff’s gift reports and contribution records. But I’m sure I’m just a morally repulsive radical for pointing out the behavior of the police.

“Morally repulsive”

Yup, people who think the police should, you know, act like police are morally repulsive. Also, I’m a radical. Comments are closed, lest you morally repulsive radicals make someone think for a minute that it’s kind of uncool to set people on fire when you don’t have to.

The conflation that somehow being critical of the police is an endorsement of Dorner is ludicrous.

Circular firing squad

Massive shoot out with police and, uhm, the police:

But when the smoky haze — caused by rapid fire of nearly 140 bullets in less than 30 seconds — dissipated, it soon became clear that more than a dozen officers had been firing at one another across a middle school parking lot in East Cleveland.

Good advice

And one of my problems with competitive shooting: Do you practice like you carry?

Second amendment rally

All those guns, open carried even. And no one shot.

Speaking of AR-15s

Man defends self with AR-15. But I’m told that never happens and you should just use a double barrel instead, according to noted gun expert Joe Biden.

Walking Dead Commentary

Yup. Also, did you know a human body is good cover against an AR-15 round? It’s true, I saw it on TV.

“Using bullets often designed to inflict maximum damage”

No shit? Because when I buy ammo, I ask the guy behind the counter to sell me that ammo that just tickles.

Half right

L.A. Times: Violent Movies Don’t Cause Violence, but Guns Do

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Whole lotta WTF right there

Good Idea: #MAGPUL2TN

A push to get Magpul to relocate to Tennessee. Yes, please. Heck, I’ll even offer to be their CFO for free. For a while.

Presidents’ guns. I don’t see Obama’s gun there.

The truth got through

But they call it a mistake:

One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake.

It was a wish list item that wasn’t meant to be left on. Doesn’t Washington pre-empt gun laws?

What media bias?

Then and now. Heh.

Depends on the goal

The LA Times: Dorner case shows folly of arming oneself to combat government.

If the goal is to terrorize the population and build distrust in the police, I think it worked.

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