Provisions historically in ATF funding to protect gun owners are being stripped. Is the administration is looking at creating a registry?

These battery clips look more like battery magazines to me.

Looks like Mayors Against Guns has taken down it’s members list. They probably got tired of the embarrassment that every time some mayor got arrested, people would go see if they were a member. And they usually were.

For thinking he had freedom in Freedom Plaza

Deprivation of rights without due process of law

I never cared much for it. Over-hyped? Maybe. I’ve not heard the term Painted Ordnance in a while. Also, it’s kind of big.

An interesting map. TN comes in just behind DC for violent crime, not a good thing. I wonder what TN looks like without Memphis.

NY tax payers paid about $30M for The Wolf of Wall Street.

Brady score compared to crime rates

The movie shooting kind of dropped off my radar. But a good point is that we don’t what happened and the press usually gets these things wrong.

Master Shop must be Swiss for butt ugly.

Diagnosis: Hiatal hernia, gastritis, and acid reflux disease. All treatable with medicine, so that’s good. And, for the non squeamish, click more for pictures of my innards, with apologies in advance to RSS readers.

The Seahawks stadium hit about 138dbs for a world record. A gun shot is 140db. Their stadium holds 67K. Neyland holds 102,455. Challenge accepted.

Perhaps my last meal of beans and cornbread before the Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy tomorrow was a mistake.

Has Kim Jong seen this?
He’s crazy enough to try
Wolverine beats NORK

If you bought something from my sale, it was shipped today. Thanks.

Seen on the internet:

The internet steals my joke.

So, I’ll steal their google-fu with Cooking Hostile!

All you folks who bought stuff from my sale, I’ll be shipping it out early Saturday.

I’ve seen this done before: Collectors work crowds at gun buyback events for rare finds

PDF here. Rumors are that ATF has all forms on hold and may no longer process forms for trusts in VA.

So, apparently his new girlfriend convinced him to give up his 65 guns. They’ll be melted and made into a shitty sculpture. The question is how does Sean Penn own those 65 guns? Penn has been charged with assault a few times. He plead to misdemeanor domestic assault. That would make him a prohibited person who, by law, cannot own guns. Somebody call the police.

Harvey Weinstein to target NRA in shitty movie. Meh. I’m guessing you’ll just tick off and motivate its members. And they’ll become more active.

Remember the Akins Accelerator? It was a spring loaded bump fire stock that mimicked full auto. Well, ATF said the non-working version they tested was not an NFA weapon. It didn’t work because tech branch couldn’t figure it out, supposedly. Now, the stock sans spring could probably be used for bumpfire, which is basically what Slidefire did. And ATF signed off on it. So, I wonder what will happen here (go to about 1:15):

By pressing forward, you are actuating the trigger with each pull, I suppose. But I’m figuring ATF may get curious about it.

With a silent auction. I see what you did there.

Saddle up the drama llama

I prefer concealed carry for exactly the reasons here. I have open carried a few times. The experience was very “meh”. It was interesting once.

So, yes, I consider that a benefit of carrying concealed. Open carry all you want. Just not my thing. It’s not an argument against open carry. It’s just my preference for why I concealed carry.

Remember the Palm Pistol, which was amusing because it could be bought with Medicaid?

Well, here’s a double barreled .380 that looks similar.

That’s interesting but also frightening

Federal reciprocity of gun carry permits.
