Dumb Ideas

Arming TSA agents

Too much gun

Don’t let new shooters shoot hand cannons:

Corredor-Rivera died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Ralls County Sheriff Gerry Dinwiddie tells WGEM-TV that the woman was shooting a .500-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun when the strength of the gun’s recoil caused her to lose control. She was visiting family in the area.

The sheriff said the gun spun around in her hand, leading to a second fatal shot. No charges are expected in the case.

Seriously, leave the hard to control stuff out of a new shooter’s hands.

Closing the gap

So, the VA Gov race gap was closed due to gun control. Seems that McAuliffe had a substantial lead until Bloomberg started running gun control ads. And then the race tightened.

So, now, it’s an AK-47

The NJ mall shooter, who only shot himself, was taken by police before and they returned it.

unconstitutionally vague and cannot be enforced

Ammo sales restrictions in Cali struck down

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

So, two thugs threaten a witness to their violent crime. The witness shoots and kills them (*applause*). And somehow, their deaths were the fault of the witness.

I don’t get it

Somehow, a predisposition to behavior that protects your livelihood is “belligerent”? I’m Scots-Irish and Southern, I should be really violent.

Gun sales dropping OMG

No, they’re just leveling off.

Officially Zumboed. Now, he’ll go on hunting tours with The Nuge to learn his lesson.

Because that’s how it happened

A re-enactment of a shooter featured a gun with a grenade launcher: ‘Good Morning America’ depicts LAX shooter with grenade launcher

I was afraid of that

Infiniti started changing the names of their cars to Q something. They then changed the G37 to the Q50. And instead of going more toward the fun and speedy side, they went more whiz bang gadgets and luxury. Now it’s just another pretty, comfortable, and tech-laden 50-grand car. You can still get the G37, which most people say you should.

Consensus with Joe Biden

We should pass more gun laws because we don’t enforce the ones we have. Or something.

Another Zumboing

Guns and Ammo editor calls for gun control? More he’s likely heard that well-regulated nonsense and bought some of it.

Shocking Number

The IRS scandal day 180. A half a year and no one is in jail or even on their way to jail. Or investigated. One crony was allowed to retire with full benefits.

A couple days after a shooting at an airport, go and OC your rifle and handgun in the unsecure area of an airport.

ATF to open a store to boost employee morale

Yes, it seems the employees of the agency have low morale and a deep distrust of management, no doubt due to all the scandals. So, they decide to waste tax payer money:

According to information obtained by Townhall, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms will soon be opening up a store inside ATF Headquarters in Washington D.C. in an effort to boost morale.

“Currently the Office of the Director is in the process of coordinating the opening of an ATF store, which will be located in ATF HQ. The mission of the store is to serve current and former employees of ATF, Task Force Officers, and family members by promoting the general welfare and morale of the employees of ATF by providing, encouraging and supporting social, educational, and recreational activities of interest to its employees. In the coming weeks, more information will follow about the ATF HQ store,” ATF Chief of Strategic Management (OSM) Ron Humphries wrote in an email to employees on October 28, 2013.

ATF wants money

Seen at Sebastian’s, they really try to pin fast and furious on lack of funding.

Also, Joe fixed it for you.

Every thing is an assault weapon

Pretty dumb assertion of gun control activist that an assault weapon let’s you fire 10 rounds in a minute gets taken down.

I wondered what happened with him

As I say every year just before SHOT: I bet there are a bunch of slightly different ARs and 1911s introduced

What really bugs me about the Gun Industry …

A stupid lawsuit

Rainbow Push is suing GA over its stand your ground law:

A civil rights group filed a federal lawsuit Friday aimed at getting Georgia’s “stand your ground law” thrown out, arguing the statute is arbitrary and hurts young black men more than anyone else.

Rainbow Push Coalition chose Georgia to begin what they envision as a series of nationwide challenges to make the controversial law more precise.

Kind of stupid for a few reasons:

This “new” law just codified existing common law.
The two cases they use to highlight the issue are pretty much just criminal activity.
I doubt they have standing.

And, also, it bears repeating since the press always trots out Trayvon Martin: Trayvon Martin’s death had nothing to do with stand your ground laws.

Uncensorship

I concur. Showing the civilized world there are dirt-scratching savages is critical.

So, what caliber for . . .

Heh

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