Some honesty in the call for an assault weapons ban:

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein has introduced a bill that would ban 157 specific firearms designed for military and law enforcement use and exempt those made for hunting.

One model of the Ruger Mini-14 — used in the deadly 1986 FBI shootout — is on the list of banned guns. A different model is on the list of exempted firearms. Gun experts say the two firearms are equally deadly.

Magpul update:

Representative Joe Salazar announced an amendment to HB 13-1224, L.0.14, that would specifically exempt Magpul from this legislation in as far as they would still be welcome to manufacture and sell these black high capacity ammunition clip death machines to civilians, just not to Coloradans.

Ups and downs, it seems. Also, state and local prosecutions dwarf federal prosecutions.

The first time dub step didn’t suck:

So reports The Firearm Blog. Seems after looking for vendors at SHOT, they’ve issued a statement about gun books.

But also, 25% off rifle scopes from amazon.

So, I’m withholding judgment until the dust settles. I’d hate to stop using Amazon since it’s awesome.

Pretty cool. And you can win some.

Last night, I was catching wind that this Dorner character was surrounded. Then, the news was that police ordered the press and media away. And then, I knew. This was to be an execution. He was not going to make it out alive. The police burned him alive. At first, I was hearing reports that the fire was an accident from the tear gas but then the recordings surfaced.

Regardless of that, a man was alone in a cabin that was someone else’s property and, instead of waiting him out or doing, you know, police stuff, they set the place on fire. He had no hostages and was isolated and could have been waited out. Instead, he was burned alive. And the police destroyed an innocent third party’s property. Hope the owners have insurance.

Now, I’m not excusing Dorner or his actions but, at this point, he was still a suspect, entitled to due process, and effort should have been taken to get him alive. What the police did here was inexcusable. No time for due process when execution will do, I suppose.

Also, this one is going to fuel conspiracy theories for years.

A review

On some video I can’t even get 5 seconds into without feeling brain cells die, Sebastian says:

I used to think these people didn’t actually believe this stuff, and it was just spin designed to make Second Amendment rights seems freakish and out of the mainstream. But after having interacted with many of them on social media, many folks on the other side of the issue are utterly convinced everything here is truth.

Well, I think the higher ups in gun control organizations don’t believe the stuff they peddle but the low information people do.
