Others are getting them too

None of this could have happened. There are laws!

Sen. Alexander, Feinstein send anti-cellphone letter to DOT. Or, you know, let the airlines decide their own policies.

Win gun stuff

Sorry for the lack of bloggy but spring showed up. And in the last few days, we’ve installed two new storm doors; tore down my screened porch; pressured washed it; installed a new doggy door; put in a tiled back splash; aerated the yard; put lime and pre emergent on the yard; cleared brush; cleared out the creek; made some kick ass food.

Been busy.

Black folk have been killing eachother like this, gun violence, for 20 years. Nobody talked about it. Nobody give a damn:

Also, stop looking at the camera when driving.

And, clearly, a racist since he used the “states rights” dog whistle.

Hilton Yam on why he left the 1911. TLDR: It’s not very reliable and requires work.

I like shooting 1911s. They shoot great. And I can shoot them more accurately than other guns. But I wouldn’t carry one.

The bill removing the prohibition on automatic unfolding knives cleared the senate. On to the house. Summary here.

So, Moms Demand Traction threatened to hold their breath until they turned blue unless facebook stopped allowing users to engage in lawful commerce. Facebook released a statement with language that appears to have satisfied the Mad Moms, even though the statement is more like we’ll keep doing what we do but make sure no one says “no background check” in their posting. And the moms are claiming it as a victory, which marks the first time I think they’ve sad they had one in a while. Meanwhile, the Brady Campaign To Cling To Relevancy says facebook is not going to do much to stop sales of guns without background checks.

The NRA responds saying the Moms were trying to shutdown free speech and that they failed.

NSSF responds: Facebook’s clarification will not affect the lawful commerce in firearm and ammunition products for NSSF members and their customers.

And this is true. Nothing changed really. Hollow victory is hollow.

Now, listen guys on my side, let’s not turn this into Starbucks part 2.

Ninth circuit rules Yolo county carry license policy unconstitutional.

Sheriff’s office puts concealed carry form on line. The form is here.

Mister Completely has the details. On one hand, I hate to see them go since they’re a great charity. On the other, I’m on record thinking the charity aspect of the event diminished from what the gun bloggers wanted to do, which was shoot things and then talk all night.

Again. Also, she fears for her life if she testifies. I wonder who threatened her? I mean, it’s not like tea party groups don’t want to hear what she has to say.

So, Moms Demand Attention were yammering on about how they were, once again, going to tilt at the windmill that is Staples. Only, they meant it this time. Because Staples has ignored them. But when they got to Staples HQ, they were told to leave. The did get to give their “demands” to security.

That is hysterical.

Victor Morris is paralyzed from the neck down. But loves to shoot his rifle. He shoots it with his tongue:

Being paralyzed from the neck down doesn’t stop 53-year-old Victor Morris from doing what he loves – firing his rifle. He had a special rig designed that allows him to fire using one of the only parts of his body that still move on command – his tongue! A native of Aberaeron, in West Wales, the quadriplegic had a rugby accident 24 years ago that left him in his current state. In spite of this, he hasn’t lost his spirit. In fact, he has even managed to beat other able-bodied shooters in international competitions.

Cool.

Remember when the Hartford Courant was all “let’s go round up all those gun owners and jail them”? Well, they’ve since gone silent. Interesting. I guess they got a little spooked.

Hey, they have a list and we do too. I’ve not seen a list of the Courant’s employee addresses.

Well, if you look at the numbers, that would be pretty fucking stupid.

My dad’s Remington Nylon 66 would be an “assault weapon” there.

Robb on gunny dreams. I have one where I’m carrying some where outside of America, like NY or DC, and to exit I have to pass a metal detector. Weird.

New scanner can detect 3D printed weapons

Getting rid of bad law:

Under current city code, “no person shall willfully annoy another person” in Grand Rapids without facing consequences. The Grand Rapids City Commission is now seeking to repeal the 38-year-old code because what constitutes “willfully annoying” is “subject to a variety of interpretations.” City Attorney Catherine Mish told The Grand Rapids Press the section was unconstitutionally vague and “simply unenforceable.”

Do we really need a new TLA*?
