Dave Kopel wrote a piece for the NYT on Manchin-Toomey. Bloomberg asked that the NYT issue a correction based on Bloomberg’s lies and misleading info on the bill. The times refused. Even they’re not buying it.

When even cops don’t want to enforce it.

Lockdown.

And the second amendment. The teen who was suspended for wearing an NRA shirt went back to school wearing the shirt, joined by a hundred other students. Excellent. Things like this give me hope for the future.

Against SAFE act

Except when they do.

Stacey Campfield in hot water over joke about assault pressure cookers. Here’s his blog post with a pic I’ve linked before. Notice the butthurt in the comments. The tears of hippies are sweet.

But Campfield made a valid point that banning things based on appearance is stupid.

The interesting thing to me is that the press doesn’t know how to hyperlink.

It’s a start.

AK-12

Decked out M&P is decked out.

Unusual weapons.

The Libertarian Party:

In a #libertarian future, married #LGBT couples could defend their marijuana field with fully-automatic assault rifles bought with #Bitcoin.

Heh. I need to start layering my wookiee suit.

The NRA wins because it has influence and grassroots. Anti-gun people throw money at it and have no real support.

And, yes, the senators are on our side. They see where the wind blows.

Police pointing AR-15s at home owners.

SWAT teams in a house and forcing entry. I’d hide my face too. No warrants, of course.

Democrats to target those that voted “no” on gun control. They clearly don’t remember 1994 and the electorate is far more pro gun now than it was then.

an assault weapon?

More than 7 rounds in a magazine?

More than 200 rounds?

Well, I find “because fuck you” to be a good enough answer to any sort of “why do you need” silliness.

I keep harping on this Boston lockdown thing because it’s serious. We can’t put this genie back in the bottle. It’s one thing to cordon off a house with a warrant, probable cause and the expectation that crime is happening there. It’s entirely another to just blanketly get all “none shall pass” on everyone who happens to live in the same general vicinity of a suspect. If we don’t stop this stuff now, it never will stop.

In fact, Alan said:

The warrantless house to house manhunt will be the new no-knock raid.

That happened in Nashville:

This last Sunday, a local man murdered his wife and then ran away. Emulating Boston, they locked down the neighborhood to find one man

This is not good. Nannies are already chiming in that we must re-evaluate the bill of rights by saying there isn’t one.

Turning neighborhoods into prisons is not what the authorities should be doing. Now, granted, tracking this guy down is a tough spot for the cops but the police these days are entirely too quick to err on the side of trampling civil rights.

And that’s unacceptable.

And, also, entitled, apparently.

The Venerable 45 Colt

M4. And, yeah, I love me some T Rex jokes.

Ruger SR556

The Budweiser Clamato thing is actually pretty fucking awesome.

Does anybody like them? No. But at least they’re coming around on guns.

More here.

Pretty silly lie at that

They even blame the bitter clingers, while bitterly clinging to gun control.

And a look the media’s blatant bias.

You can’t even get gun control among Illinois Democrats

It took a while but an old anti-gun trope that was taken as fact is dying.

I mean, even though my dad was a career police officer and all

Anyhoo, I got some grief over the whole locking down a city and going door to door is not exactly what should happen in ‘Murica by Instinct. Because, you know, I hate cops and stuff.

But explain to me how this is a request for a consensual search?

If I were a Bostonian, I’d be looking at getting a gun.

We need gun laws!

Gun control activist butthurt it’s hard to buy a BB gun in NJ. Well, these are the laws you want, right?

Except when they do

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean. And if you disagree, you’re racist.

Or a terrorist.

Look, Sparky, I don’t think people are concerned about the terrorists’ nut jobs guns but more concerned about the fact they’re terrorist nut jobs. No call for banning bombs? These people are nuts and should not be taken seriously by anyone.

The unemployment folks are getting laid off.
