For you local yokels

A nearly 1,000 strong facebook group for buying, selling and trading guns: Blount County Gun Owners.

Dunno, those kind of scare me

Les and more on shaving and saving with double edged safety razors. Interesting and may be worth considering but that scares me. Not as much as straight razors but enough. I’ve been happy with my Fusion for a while.

Thoughts?

Trunk guns

SPS Pantera .45 ACP. Is it fucking hostile?

Going out of business

Heh:

. . . one of last night’s losing lawmakers in Colorado actually argued that losing even one seat was sign enough that Mayors Against Illegal Guns should just wrap it up and go out of business. Alas, she did.

Bloomberg and his cronies outspent NRA about 6 to 1 on this deal too.

About that national conversation on gun control

It came to a screeching halt last night as two Colorado politicos got kicked out of office and the press stopped talking about it.  Good.

September 10, 2013

I guess since the site is called “funny or die” and it’s not funny . . .

Quote of the day:

Are there white people who don’t want black people to own guns? Yes. Their names are Mayor Bloomberg and Diane Feinstein.

My wife is afraid the government will show up at my door because of things I’ve said on the internet. Probably because the government has already shown up at my door because of things I said on the internet.

The other night, on the bookface, I made a comment about Obama’s administration reversing restrictions on the NSA snooping through your emails and phone calls. And in response to that, I quipped that all I had to say was “allahu akhbar pressure cooker tea party airplane”, riffing on something once said here by NK. My wife saw the post and asked me if I was worried the government would show up at my house over things like that. I said I was not. Then, she reminded they already did that once.

Oh, yeah.

I should probably do a post about that some day.

A militia

In Mexico, local groups have had enough of the drug cartels (and also probably the police, since it is Mexico) and are arming up:

An audacious band of citizen militias battling a brutal drug cartel in the hills of central Mexico is becoming increasingly well-armed and coordinated in an attempt to end years of violence, extortion and humiliation.

What began as a few scattered self-defense groups has spread in recent months to dozens of towns across Michoacan, a volatile state gripped by the cultlike Knights Templar, a drug gang known for taxing locals on everything from cows to tortillas and executing those who do not comply.

Too bad the drug lords are armed by the US government.

Where guns are banned

Politicians get armed bodyguards.

But it can’t happen here

Poland seizes half of private pensions. From my cold dead hands.

Odd headline

Ok, then: Owner Of Kennedy Jewelers: “I Came Out Firing”; Assault Rifle Was Tossed By Elementary School; Robber’s Pants Dropped And Underwear Used As Evidence

X Products Skeletonized AR drum

Neat looking and shaves off a pound or so. Personally, I’d just carry another magazine.

So, in other words, nothing happened at Zimmerman’s house?

See? I told you.

I don’t have anything against the .40

What have you got against the fo-tay? Nothing. It’s a decent cartridge. It’s that its improvements over the 9 are not worth the cost and the recoil and the reduction in magazine capacity. It’s a gamer cartridge and those that run the games (cough IDPA IPSC cough) insist it is.

And I’ve owned more 22LRs that were handguns than rifles.

In NY

Sheriff’s in NY refuse to enforce the misnamed SAFE act.

If true, have him arrested

A PA sheriff routinely denies permits:

When you violate a provision of the Uniform Firearms Act, which licensing falls under, it’s a misdemeanor crime. Why is there a double standard in justice? Sheriff David is committing a crime each time he does this, each time he unlawfully denies someone a gun permit he could be put in prison.

Can a town pass a gun law so stupid that even the town can’t outstupid it?

This is probably the dumbest gun law ever, passed in Newtown CT:

The ordinance approved last week by the Legislative Council says no resident may shoot for more than four hours after police are notified and shooting is limited to one person at a time. Target backstops are required and must be 10 feet above the target.

No shooting is allowed within a half-mile of a school.

First, this law is just fucking dumb. Next, it obviously is in no way intended to be an effort at reducing gun violence. It’s just punishing law-abiding gun owners, AKA a political enemy.

Glock 19: If you could only have one pistol, it should probably be a Glock 19. Pretty much. But since I can have more than one, I have a full size M&P and a compact M&P. The G19 fits the sweet spot in between.

MAN WITH A GUN IN A SCHOOL!!

Nothing happens. But the pants-shitting hysterics is amusing. In Michigan, you can carry a gun into a school as long as you open carry.

New Jersey bans air rifles, calls them assault weapons

Seems in NJ, if you have a Gamo air gun with a suppressor, you’re a felon in possession of an assault weapon.

Bitter clinger

Joseph J. Ellis is bitterly clinging to the creation science of the collective rights model. It was never settled until Heller. You lost. Quit lying.

I think the problem is too much booger-hook on the bang-switch

Keep your finger off the trigger. Only police should have guns, you know.

I’ll take “no chance of passing whatsoever”, Alex

Proposed 50% tax on guns and ammo. I think we should ban the current one that is 11%.

Total Recall

All Caracal C Pistols have been recalled. No fix available. They’re offering full refunds.

In Colorado, there are some recall elections tomorrow

Don’t forget. A bunch of politicians who pushed gun control nobody wanted are being recalled in an election. Thing is, we only need to score one to make a point.

Can Bloomberg buy the elections? He’s trying.

And the Democrats are already pulling vote fraud, like they usually do.

ZOMG!!!!!111one ZIMMERMAN AGGRESSOR IN DOMESTIC DISPUTE (according to his wife)

Better headline would be: WHITE MAN THREATENS MINORITY WOMAN:

No charges have been filed against George Zimmerman on Monday as the investigation continues into if he threatened his estranged wife with a gun, as she originally told Central Florida police.

No charges filed? That sounds familiar. Given that everything the press reported about the first Zimmerman trial was substantially wrong, I’ll reserve judgment. And, you know, it’s not like any woman involved in a divorce proceeding has ever lied about this sort of thing. Right?

The NSA can tap your phone data

The NSA story keeps getting scarier.

Blind Trust

Iowa issues permits to carry to the legally blind. So. Are they hurting anyone? I don’t know about Iowa law, but in TN there is a requirement of proficiency and shooting (not a difficult one). And I know of one legally blind person here who got a toter’s permit.

ATF and trust(s)

ATF has released their proposed rule in sticking it to bitter clingers err trusts.

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