So, Obamacare has been delayed. Again. For political reasons. This time, it won’t go into effect until Obama is no longer in office. They have elections to win, you see. And this law is not helpful for that end. So, once again, Obama is doing his impression of a dictator in a banana republic in which laws don’t matter. Also, this:

Treasury officials said Monday that businesses will be told to “certify” that they are not shedding full-time workers simply to avoid the mandate. Officials said employers will be told to sign a “self-attestation” on their tax forms affirming this, under penalty of perjury.

Let that sink in. Attest to this under threat of perjury.

An informed, angry public.

The Ohio National Guard did a training exercise that featured second amendment and anti-government types as terrorists. It amuses me some. But if we anti-government, pro second amendment types were as violent as democrats, the government, and the media (but I repeat myself) said we were, a lot of American cities would resemble downtown Fallujah from a few years back.

Acceptable ammo seems to be getting smaller.

Florida’s were also racist.

In addressing the 9mm Takeover led by the internet, Dave Spaulding says he talked to someone at the FBI:

Is it true the FBI has found a 9mm cartridge that “matches the wound ballistics of the .45”? My friend told me they are “very encouraged” by the load they are currently testing in 9mm, but all he would tell me is it is a non-traditional bullet weight and configuration traveling at a non-traditional velocity in order to achieve this performance.

Interesting. Though they’re not the far off in terms of ballistics in the way people try to measure that stuff.

Of course, Dave also said in the linked piece: over half of what is printed on the internet is complete and utter bullshit.

So, maybe it’s some of the R.I.P. ammo I’ve been reading about?

My first thought was “Holder is in jail?” and then realized that, no, it’s the guy the administration gave the gun to.

Fred was a police dog but he was fired for being lazy and easily distracted. Happily, he’s off to start his new job. As a cat.

We know that they (and Ruger) will no longer sell their pistols there due to the stupid microstamping law. But, will they sell them to CA police?

I wouldn’t read too much into their lack of a response just yet. I’m sure the legal team had a say in why not to sell to the public there. This issue is more a marketing/PR one. I’d give them a bit before I go blasting them.

Illegally and intentionally modify your weapon so that it becomes an NFA weapon and you’re a police officer: It’s OK. Just change it back and fill out the paperwork next time:

A former state Department of Justice drug agent accused his colleagues last year of illegally modifying their state-issued rifles, according to emails the agency released Thursday.

The Associated Press obtained the emails through an open records request for materials related to former Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Dan Bethards. DOJ fired Bethards in October after he accused his supervisor of weapons violations.

Bethards wrote in a January 2013 email to DCI Administrator Dave Matthews that multiple agents were shortening the barrels on their state-issued and personal rifles without registering the modifications with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Bethards didn’t name any agents but alleged multiple agents were guilty of federal felonies.

DOJ spokeswoman Dana Brueck said the ATF investigated the allegations and determined one weapon had been improperly modified. The gun was reconfigured to conform with ATF regulations and no one was disciplined, she said.

Illegally and intentionally modify your weapon so that it becomes an NFA weapon and you’re NOT a police officer: You’re going to jail.

Man walking down the street dressed as a banana and carrying an AK. Unsurprisingly, he was detained by the police.

What was the goal?

A complete work stoppage because someone found a long discarded round of ammunition.

Yeah, I’ve noticed before that my carry guns can’t actually be used as is in a sport that supposedly emphasized carry of guns. Meanwhile, the idea that competition will get you killed is way silly.

American Rifleman sales up near 30% and I’m guessing membership about the same. Makes top 25 magazines!

I guess I’d be scared if I saw it on Douglas Lake but that’s about it.

I’m surprised the number is that low. Heck, I’ve had a running total for a while.

Remember, size mattress? Or nothing really mattress. Well, we finally got that fixed, now with more mattress and worse pun:

So, the police went and did a no knock warrant on a guy growing marijuana. The man thought them to be burglars and shot and killed an officer. Ordinarily, this would be straight to prison and first degree murder. But not this time:

A Central Texas man who shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy entering his home will not be charged with capital murder, attorneys said Thursday.

A local grand jury declined Wednesday to indict Henry Goedrich Magee for the Dec. 19 death of Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, who was part of a group of investigators executing a search warrant for Magee’s rural home.

Sowders and other officers entered the home about 90 miles northwest of Houston without knocking just before 6 a.m. Authorities were looking for guns and marijuana.

Magee’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said his client thought he was being burglarized, reached for a gun and opened fire.

Now, the guy is getting a felony rap for growing weed while possessing a weapon. A victimless felony to be sure. But the capital murder charge being dropped is good news.

If this happens more, maybe no knock raids will happen less.
