He was going to get the arms from Russia. Hmm, what comes from there?

Heh

So, this video about why you shouldn’t freak out about the national debt says the US can’t run out of money because it prints money. Ok, then. And, of course, the opening line is an outright lie. Debt is closer to $18T, using the .gov’s bogus number. And, if the the government accounted for obligations like companies are required to, the debt is more like $200T. The government records no obligation for social security, for instance.

A map that ranks states by their dependence on the federal government:

A lot of red states make the most dependent list. The fact that the least a state gets from federal funding is more than 25% is sad. It also explains a lot.

TN is fifth in dependency on the feds. There’s a lot of Department of Energy money and Medicaid here.

Anti-gun CA senator arrested for corruption.

Update: It gets better:

A 137-page criminal complaint charges a total of 26 people — including Yee and Chow — with a panoply of crimes, including firearms trafficking, money laundering, murder-for-hire, drug distribution, trafficking in contraband cigarettes, and honest services fraud.

Yee is charged with conspiracy to traffic in firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms, as well as six counts of scheming to defraud citizens of honest services. Each corruption count is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000, while the gun-trafficking count is punishable by up to five years and $250,000.

Update 2: From the affidavit, looks like (on page 25) it was importing arms through New Jersey.

A bill in GA heading to the governor:

The bill allows people with a weapons permit to carry loaded guns into bars, as long as they do not consume alcohol — although the bill does not say how that caveat would be enforced. (just like most states – Ed)

It allows guns in public areas of airports and eliminates criminal charges for permit holders caught with guns at airport security (good – Ed). It authorizes school districts to appoint staff members to carry guns at schools, ostensibly to defend students in case of an attack.

It allows felons to claim the Stand Your Ground defense — in which someone who “reasonably believes” his life is in danger has no duty to walk away and may instead shoot to kill (Well, felons have civil rights too – Ed). And that is just the beginning (Cool – Ed. BTW, who’s Ed?).

And all of this causes Herbert Buchsbaum to posit this ridiculously stupid assertion about a recent shooting:

It is not clear whether the new law would have changed anything. Milo’s already had “No Weapons” signs posted. Anyone there with a gun was already violating existing law as well as the bar’s policy.

It’s actually crystal fucking clear to anyone with a god-damned brain that the bill would not have changed anything, Moron.

Via TFB, comes one stop shopping for suppressors at SilencerShop. I bought mine through a dealer who basically did the same thing for me. But it’s a good idea for those who find the process intimidating.

Unfortunately, NFA approval wait times still apply.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, who basically labels everyone that doesn’t agree with them hate groups or terror groups, will no longer be used as a resource by the FBI for its hate crime webpage.

Sure do a lot of charity

Carry Gun.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked Glocks . . . I don’t even.

He’s the ATF agent who was railroaded by the ATF

So reports Eugene Volokh. So, if I’m sleeping, showering or pooping, I’d have to lock my gun up or have it on me?

Also, they ruled it’s OK to ban the sale of hollow points even though those are not necessarily banned from ownership.

So, this weekend, I was operating operationally in operations. Being the operatingest, I was rapidly engaging targets with extreme prejudice. All rounds were placed with the precision of a surgeon working on the ocular nerve. I think I even sliced a pie or two.

As I was standing there, in solace, surveying the carnage I had laid upon my foe and checking my surroundings before reholstering, I heard it. A loud pop. Then, the realization that I had negligently discharged a round into the ground. The red curtained my eyes, only not the red curtain of death more like the red curtain of Man, I feel like a bag of dicks. As I calmed, realizing nothing and no one was harmed, I was angry at myself. All that training and practice. And I still negligently discharged a gun. Fortunately, I had only violated one of the four rules. I had my booger-hook on the bang-switch. I did have the gun pointed in a safe direction, at the ground. No blood, no foul.

The point is, it’s a good idea to apply gun safety rules to nail guns when re-screening your porch.

And pressure washers. And hammer drills.

Indeed. As someone who coined the phrase “First, they came for the sex offenders“, I think so. People have wanted to do put gun criminals and other groups in registries.

Gun guys you to say that a push to make gun ownership contingent upon a psych evaluation would lead to the those doing the evaluating concluding that those who want guns must be crazy. Seems that may have happened when a man who was supportive of the second amendment in Illinois:

[Plaintiffs allege that, as] of February 3, 2011, Plaintiffs possessed FOID cards, owned firearms, and kept their firearms in their home. At some point before February 3, 2011, David expressed “unpopular political views … about his support of Second Amendment rights” to “a locally elected official.” That official, somebody in that official’s office, or one of the individual defendants falsely construed David’s comments “as evidence that [he] had a mental condition that made him dangerous.” On February 3, 2011, [Illinois State Police] Lieutenant [John] Coffman wrote a letter to David revoking his FOID card under § 8(f) of the Act based on the false and unreasonable assertion that David had a “mental condition” within the meaning of that provision.

Couple with some political corruption too!

Currently there is a bunch of global warming falling behind my house:

It’s only a model.

So, the Business Software Alliance, who pushes people to rat out companies and people who steal software, was caught stealing an image.

Seems the authorities (of which there are none) can’t get the arms flow under control. Weird since guns are illegal there.
