Words that are fun to say: Reichsrevolvers

Malfunction

Plastic guns. Via Glenn, who notes the TSA can’t even identify real ones.

Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) granted a “full and free pardon” to Steffon Josey-Davis.

How should you react? I dunno about the new normal. Sure, I’ve seen a few people walking around with a pistol on their hip. But walking around with a slung AR-15 is pretty weird.

Here’s a list of gun contests.

S.I.A. De Lisle Silent Carbine. Do want.

The supreme court refused to hear Jackson v. City and County of San Francisco. After Heller and McDonald, they don’t seem very willing to take on many more gun rights cases. It’s curious to me why that is. Pre-Heller, it was speculated that the court wouldn’t take gun cases because they weren’t convinced the decision would go the right way. But Sandy resigned. I wonder who the hold out is now?

Well, OK:

Since the SAFE act passed, shootings are up in NYC.

Spanish Anarchist Pistols

And a triceratops. I enjoyed this far more than I should have. Thanks, Robb.

Jim sent me a bottle of his Silencer Juice a bit back and I’ve been remiss in shooting 22LR. So, I remedied that a couple of days ago.

Per the website, it cleans, reduces heat build up, and reduces the sound even more.

So, I took the M&P22 and the Outback out to the range and loaded up a magazine and fired it. Planned on recording the decibel level but the phone apps that do that aren’t well suited for gun shots. I then waited a bit for the suppressor to cool off and tried it with the juice in it. There was no first round pop. And it was noticeably quieter. Well, to my ear.

I recommend giving it a shot.

Paul Bedard:

Commonly used and unregulated internet discussions and videos about guns and ammo could be closed down under rules proposed by the State Department, amounting to a “gag order on firearm-related speech,” the National Rifle Association is warning.

In updating regulations governing international arms sales, State is demanding that anyone who puts technical details about arms and ammo on the web first get the OK from the federal government or face a fine of up to $1 million and 20 years in jail.

More from Joe, who notes that his post on ammo may violate such a regulation.

Man uses a black powder gun to murder his ex:

A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in a Target parking lot in Montgomery County used an antique-style, black-powder pistol because his record as a sex offender barred him from buying a regular firearm, a prosecutor said in court Friday.

He sought this gun out, Assistant States Attorney Debbie Feinstein said.

The suspect, Donald W. Bricker, 27, of Hagerstown, ordered the handgun online, and it arrived in the mail Monday morning, Feinstein said. He practiced at least one shot at home, and later on Monday drove to Germantown to meet with his ex-girlfriend, Mariam Shad Adebayo, Feinstein said.

Black powder guns aren’t firearms, per law. And there’s no background check required.

Tennessee law requires mark ups on cigarettes, milk and wine:

Under a new state law, Tennessee retailers will have to charge smokers at least 15 percent more than the wholesale cost. The surcharge is theirs to keep.

That increase follows last year’s law requiring supermarkets to sell wine at least 20 percent above cost and another longstanding 10 percent markup on milk. State law refers to those margins as “the cost of doing business.”

In Oregon, are powder actuated nail guns a firearm?

Go Vols!!!!! Except not in this case.

Awesome

You can all the parts but the receiver online. And computers do the rest:

Ghost gun still cracks me up. Also, did he say Bay Area? I think that might be illegal.

Nothing happens.

I don’t really care about Bruce Jenner and his sudden excessive photo shop job. It doesn’t affect me in anyway and he can do whatever he wants.

But I find the cultural implications interesting. Way back in nineteen aught eleventy three, I was in a college course called Advanced Psychology. In that class, we learned that the DSM-x was replaced with the DSM-(x+1). A major change, as was told to us in class, was that the DSM-x classified homosexuality as a mental disease. And the DSM-(x+1) said it was only a mental disorder if the person who was a homosexual was weirded out about it. That’s not the technical term but you get my drift. Since then, society is pretty open to gay people. And most people don’t care. And, though I’ve not kept up with the DSM, my guess is that being gay is perfectly OK now. As it should be.

I wonder how this transgender thing will, ultimately, pan out in terms of society. If you listen to the left, you’re a bigot if you look and this situation with any judgement at all. The right seems mostly silent. And people like me think that, well, even if you undergo whatever medical procedures, you still have the same chromosomes. And today’s psychology recognizes gender identity disorder. More here. If I were to guess, based on societal trends, I’m guessing in the future that guy will be viewed as wrong in my lifetime.

But this might finally be the point where people draw the line.

So, six guys bust into your house and your reaction would be “Man, I wish this magazine held fewer rounds”

The DOJ is moving forward regarding NFA transfers for trust. At issue, is having the responsible persons get LEO sign off and do a background check.

The TSA Is Useless. But Have You Seen Their Instagram Feed?
