Chris Christie is running for president. God help us.

He has decided his administration will not defend New Jersey’s hideous gun laws.

I need a good laugh. fast.

So, hit me with a good one-liner. I’ll start:

You know, you really have to hand it to a blind hooker . . .

First, Glock 42, now Glock 41

Just let the gat out of the bag on the Glock 42, but the G41 is a long barreled version of the G21 but slimmer:

So, I guess the G40 is not to be because people might think it’s a .40S&W? And we can’t go confusing the Glock 40 with the Glock Fotay.

Kinda disappointed in both guns. I guess in a couple more years we’ll get that single stack 9 after we all bought S&W shields?

Official: Glock 42 .380 single stack

The gat’s out of the bag.

Well, as official as anything I’ve seen:

Now, what’s G40 and G41?

More Executive Action On Guns

Noted Gun Expert Joe Biden and his crack team of gun controllers have proposed two new executive actions aimed at, well, something related to guns. The first is to violate HIPAA laws and let states report medical records to NICS. But the laws don’t matter to them. Look at Obamacare and HIPAA. The second is that if you voluntarily commit yourself, you are now considered adjudicated as a mental defective.

Released late on a Friday, you know, under the radar.

Soap box, ballot box

In Colorado, not just recalls but ballot measures coming:

The battle over gun control probably will move from the state Capitol to the ballot box in November as both sides of the issue have filed proposed ballot measures.

One proposal would limit concealed handguns on Colorado campuses. Another would overturn a Democrat-imposed ban on ammunition magazines that fire more than 15 rounds. And a third would repeal all gun legislation passed in 2013 — not just the mag ban — that “restrict or limit” the right to bear arms.

The proposals, if they make it to the ballot, guarantee Colorado for the second year in a row would be a key battleground in the fight over gun control.

What could possibly go wrong?

We must ban muzzle “breaks” even though they don’t exist

The NY SAFE act has some rather embarrassing errors.

Guns and cars

In New Mexico, carrying a concealed handgun allows the police to frisk you and to check your papers:

In the end, Defendant grasps at straws. He says the question of whether an officer may conduct an investigative detention based “solely” on the presence of a concealed firearm “is analogous to the question of whether an officer can pull over any motor vehicle he chooses in order to determine whether the driver is properly licensed and in lawful possession of the car.” Def’s Op. Br. at 27. We think not.

To be sure, any construction of a motor vehicle statute permitting such random stops, however the statute is worded, would be unconstitutional. In Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648 (1979), the Supreme Court held the Fourth Amendment prohibits an officer from stopping a vehicle for the sole purpose of checking the driver’s license and registration, where neither probable cause nor reasonable suspicion exists to believe the motorist is driving the vehicle contrary to the laws governing the operation of motor vehicles. Id. at 650, 663. …

Driving a car, however, is not like carrying a concealed handgun.

And I wondered why. Well, because:

Driving a vehicle is an open activity; concealing a handgun is a clandestine act. Because by definition an officer cannot see a properly concealed handgun, he cannot randomly stop those individuals carrying such weapon.

So, if one were to open carry? That’s some circular logic right there.

But cops support gun bans

Detroit police chief says gun owners can deter crime.

Biggest Grossing Arcade Games

Via Jeff, comes a list. In my younger days, I put quite a few quarters into a Street Fighter 2 game. It was a way for a commuter to kill time between classes. Anyway, the other day, I was looking around and found Street Fighter 4 for my son’s XBox. And we’ve put in a few hours beating each other up.

Preemption

The Sen has some questions about Tennessee’s guns in parks bill and letting municipalities decide if they want to ban it or not. Now, in the The City (My The City), we have a rather expansive park system called the Greenway. There is one particular section of the park that is a pretty popular spot and we’ve been known to go there on occasion. Now, Maryville bans guns in parks. Alcoa bans guns in parks. Blount County was pressured some questionable legal shenanigans to ban guns in parks without having a vote on it but that was quickly dealt with. Now, when the law was passed by the state, there was no provision for signage nor was there money for it. So, if I go to this one section of the park where the county and the other two cities meet, it’s entirely impossible for me to know if I’m breaking the law or not. And I’m guessing that the ban is too vague to withstand a legal challenge.

So, yes, the state needs to preempt this silly law.

Gun control in Iraq

Not quite what I thought, actually.

Priorities

NYC has a new mayor and he’s apparently going to try to out-nanny Bloomberg, which would be a colossal task. Reading stuff like this makes me wonder if politicians can’t come up with better things to do. I guess being a petty wannabe tyrant is easier than actually dealing with real problems.

Also, ouch.

Why the 9mm?

Tim discusses it.

Magpul leaving CO

Heading to Texas and Wyoming. Those job-killing democrats in Colorado.

More guns, less crime

You can’t argue with science

Guess what happens with record gun sales and more carry permit holders.

But “stand your ground” is racist

Wait a minute.
