I love what’s left of America

Boomershoot videos

Tac-Con 3MR trigger

Chris Cheng gave it a shot. Not a very good first experience. I’m sure that, like bumpfiring, it probably takes so figuring out.

So, earlier today, there was this mass movie shooting in FL that was all over the news

It left the press spotlight as soon as the shooter was discovered to be a retired police officer. Odd, that.

Gun manufacturer lobby goes after BS micro stamping law

NSSF blog:

NSSF and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) today filed a lawsuit on behalf of their members against the State of California in Fresno Superior Court challenging the state’s microstamping law. NSSF and SAAMI seek to invalidate and enjoin enforcement of provisions of state law enacted in 2007, but not made effective until May 2013, requiring that all semiautomatic pistols sold in the state not already on the California approved handgun roster contain unproven and unreliable microstamping technology.

There is no viable technology for microstamping. They may as well have legislated all guns come with a rainbow-farting unicorn.

Or are you just happy to see me?

Woman keeps loaded gun in her, err, Hoo-ha.

And it’s a bull pup!

But gun ownership is on the decline, they lied

Seen at Jeff’s:

A new Economist/YouGov poll said that nearly 4 in 10 American households have guns, with 56 percent claiming not to have one.

That is a sizable uptick from the four-decade drop in household ownership charted by the authoritative General Social Survey. It pegged household gun ownership at 50 percent in the 1970s, 49 percent in the 1980s, 43 percent in the 1990s, and down to 35 percent in the 2000s. The latest 2012 statistics put the share of households with guns at 34 percent.

Best gun video ever

Or every gun video ever:

TSAR-300: Tactical Solutions .300 Blackout

Tactical Solutions always has innovative stuff. Their upper for .300 blackout seems to be no exception.

Beretta ARX-100

A video of the gun. Also, Tam quips:

Don’t be fooled: If the AR-15 were released today, it’d probably hit the market at close to two grand as well, but the development costs are long amortized and builders can buy parts from a host of outside vendors and that’s why you can get an AR for so much cheaper than the newer guns.

So you don’t have to

Miguel is going through the emails between Mayors Against Guns and NYC government.

Gun rights activists runs for county council in MD

Pastor Kenn Blanchard is running for office. Also, when you loan him a gun, he gets it back to you.

Mass murderer stopped with a gun

Well, I suppose that depends on if three victims = mass.

Gunman walks into titty bar and opens fire. Hits three people. Patron pulls own gun an critically injures the shooter.

a billionaire helping finance his hobby on the public dime

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Bloomberg’s anti-gun rights efforts.

One of these days

We’ll have enough polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols on the market. But now, we don’t have enough. Meet the Sig P320. Apparently, it’s big innovation is that you don’t have to pull the trigger before taking it apart.

Now that $200 is an inconvenience and not bankrupting

Suppressor sales in Ohio rise sharply.

This is already the law

TN, generally, has preemption with respect to firearms law. Now, the legislature wants super dooper preemption: As introduced, declares that the general assembly occupies the whole field of regulation of firearms, ammunition, components of firearms or ammunition, or combinations thereof, prohibiting local regulation.

Gee, I wonder what brought this on? Oh, yeah.

US Army Corps of Engineers and guns

Court rules they cannot ban guns under the second amendment.

What media bias?

You’d think Chris Christie had personally executed a bunch of people based on the press coverage of Bridgeghazi. Fast and furious? Little coverage. IRS targeting Obama’s political enemies? Crickets. Benghazi? Youtube video. Obamacare? Shhh. Solyndra. Meh. I could go on. I’m no fan of Christie but, man, our press sucks.

Not accidental. Negligent.

NRA A-rated Democrat, Leslie Combs, from Kentucky had a negligent discharge. Says “It happens”. Actually, it shouldn’t. More:

“I was purposely disarming it to put it up because I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to use it any more,” she said. “… I had had it in my purse I carry usually, and I thought I’m going to put that sucker way.”

Combs said the gun was pointed in the proper direction — and away from Greer — as she unloaded the gun, as she has been trained.

“I was particularly careful,” she said. “Rep. Greer was on the other side of the room…No one was in harm’s way. I made sure of that.”

I think you mean unloading not disarming. Any way, I’m guessing booger-hook on the bang-switch or she pulled the trigger thinking it was unloaded. Or disarmed.

Going through Bloomberg’s MAIG emails

It reveals some interesting things about the gun control crowd, including their internal bickering.

OMG!!! LAWFUL COMMERCE ON THE INTERNET!!!!111eleven

Mother Jones is all butthurt that people arrange lawful firearm transactions using the internet, particularly Reddit.

Mo’ tactical derp

Wow. That’s some stupidity.

In addition to being stupid, it’s not even efficient. You could more quickly (as well as safely) deploy a Ka-Bar TDI.

Zero tolerance

Doesn’t apply to teachers.

Of course, I’m thinking the mom here is overreacting a bit. Much like the school would.

Gun Sales

Thanks, Obama, for the record year in gun sales.

However, it looks like gun sales are finally leveling off.

The system works

Remember how we talked about how the system is not broken? Well, it’s true: In case you missed it: Officer Roid Rage gets $40,000 from the City of Canton

Assault Squash

Squash used to silence err suppress err reduce the signature of a gun in a robbery. Though I prefer my Signature Reduction Module grilled with a bit of of oil and dill.

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