“Journalism”

Federal Court Tosses Challenge To Gun Safety Law Requiring New Firearms Mark Bullets

You spelled control wrong.

Also: Messages seeking comment from the plaintiffs’ attorney, sent at 9:20 pm his time on a Friday, to comment on a court decision announced midday Thursday, were not immediately returned.

Over at TFB is a write up on a dry fire option for your computer. Looks pretty neat. But pricey.

Also, there is HomeLESS, which is free. Anyone try it?

ATF’s ammo ban

ATF is moving ahead with it’s ban on M855 ammo. People are upset about it (btw, what is a gun user?)

White House Minister of Truth Josh Earnest (whose very name is an oxymoron) has said that this ban would save police lives. I wonder how many police have been shot with M855?

This may backfire on ATF and the administration as a bill has been introduced in congress to roll back ATF’s ability to regulate ammo.

Do not try to catch a dropped gun

Here’s their site. I don’t see a need for one but if you’re fond of heavy first trigger pulls, I guess it might work for you:

Personally, I like the PMags from Magpul.

Even more SB-15: ATF letter: AR buffer tubes on non AR pistols

Says ATF:

Use of a buffer tube on an AK-type firearm that has no use for such an item may be evidence that the weapon is intended to be fired from the shoulder. Therefore, adding a buffer tube to an AK-type pistol, where the barrel is less than 16 inches in length, would result in the manufacture of a “firearm” as defined in 5845(a)(3). However, if an AK-type pistol were to utilize an AR-type buffer tube to facilitate the attachment of a (sic) SB-15 stabilizing brace accessory, a “firearm” as defined in 5845(a)(3) would not be made and consequently lawful to possess.

This SB-15 business is getting silly.

In local news

A local restaurant that made national headlines for welcoming gun owners has closed. The owner cites taxes, permits and general bureaucracy.

As a small business owner myself, I can attest to the expense, hassle and general pain in the ass that permits, licensing and taxes on my bottom line and on my time. Time and money better spent running the business.

Gun control fails in Vermont

Sad, sad pandas

Never really heard of Limbaugh chiming in on guns

Until now:

[Obama] wants to take guns out of everybody’s hands and if he can’t do that, he’s going to take the bullets that go in the guns out of everybody’s hands.

WTF?

How about a Chrome extension that verifies that “you must be at least this smart to hit a publish button”?

Cooper nailed it. ISIS fighters wear masks too.

It’s about control

Not just guns. This time, it’s drone control:

Right from the beginning of the article, DHS and FAA held a “conference was open to civilians, but explicitly closed to the press. One attendee described it as an eye-opener.” When one of those attendees (who runs a small drone shop) posted a picture and notes from the conference, DHS asked him to take it down (he complied).
Then we get to the meat of the issue – that a drone manufacturer unilaterally chose to add all of DC to their drones’ internal “no-fly” map. First, of course, that their drones have a “no-fly” map in the first place, and secondly, that “DJI is preparing an update that will increase the number of airport no fly zones from 710 to 10,000,

My nephews are into the hobby so I’ve been made aware of the various government attempts at regulating it. More disheartening is that, at the age of 13, my nephews are realizing that non-elected busybody bureaucrats can directly impact their lives.

But they have all that gun control

Mass shooting in South Korea. Make that two.

Good thing they have all that strict gun control there:

When news of frequent shooting incidents comes out of the United States, Koreans let out a small sigh of relief for living in a place where gun ownership is strictly illegal.

Military service for Korean men is mandatory, but that is probably the only time a regular civilian will have a chance to hold a gun.

Speaking of moms demand

The ILA notes that Moms Demand may be lying about their numbers. Even when lying, they don’t have the numbers NRA does.

NJT:

Brady and MAIG and VPC weren’t much better, but through repetition we trained the public to know what they are. Gun Banning groups. I don’t wanna have to retrain everyone again.

More “shall sign” legislation

This time, in Arkansas:

House Bill 1488, introduced on February 26 by state Representative Tim Lemons (R-43), would require the chief law enforcement officer of a jurisdiction to certify the transfer or making of a firearm, as required by the National Firearms Act, within 15 days if the person is not prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm by law.
