And if your car keys don’t work, you can always pee on yourself

Stupid self defense tips captured in photos. Ladies, buy a weapon. Preferably a gun.

Fed court rules mass collection of phone metadata illegal

Sadly, they don’t rule it unconstitutional.

City audit finds police ammo missing

I look forward to the lawsuit

Despite Tennessee’s recent preemption of banning guns in parks, Nashville and Memphis are looking to ban them anyway.

71 “soldiers” in the US and they name 5 states.

Chicago denying gun permits to black people

Well, at least one. I’m sure there are more. And people are suing the city over it.

“journalism”

CNN anchor and democrat (but I repeat myself) Chris Cuomo says the constitution doesn’t protect hate speech.

The NRA and Tennessee

Interesting bit on their reach and influence here. Also, it notes that the other gun groups here aren’t as effective.

Forcing them to do your work

Google relieved of duty to search for relevant evidence in executing search warrant. Good. Google argued that they’re not the ones who should be doing law enforcement work.

SAF takes on 3D guns

SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation today joined Defense Distributed of Austin, Texas, in filing a federal lawsuit against Secretary of State John Kerry, the Department of State and other federal officials, seeking to stop the Government’s unconstitutional censorship of information related to the three-dimensional printing of arms. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court – Western District of Texas.

Bill to send surplus 1911s to CMP

Excellent idea and I’ll take two:

The plan involves moving the weapons to the Civilian Marksmanship Program, which includes its facility in Anniston.

Congressman Rogers says it’s a win-win because the pistols are placed in very capable hands at the Civilian Marksmanship Program and it also saves taxpayers roughly $200,000 per year.

The M1911A1 pistol was once the standard sidearm for U.S. armed forces. Rogers says a little over 8,000 of the 100,000 pistols were sold to law enforcement and transferred to foreign countries for a small price. The rest are in storage.

The CMP will inspect, grade, and prepare the pistols to be sold. It will also reimburse the Army for any costs associated with moving the firearms.

In TN

Governor signs lifetime permits! However, looking at the pricing structure, it doesn’t appear to be worth the cost.

Also, Haslam signed a bill prohibiting state cooperation with the enforcement of federal gun laws.

In Oregon

Seems to be going the way of Washington and banning private transfers.

Uhm, why?

ISIS claims responsibility for failed terror attack in Texas. I wonder why they’d do that? By my count, the score of Cowboys and Terrorists is 2-0.

They messed with Texas

Seems whenever I’m on travel, something interesting happens involving guns.

Or, as seen on the bookface, there is a Paris, Texas but Texas ain’t Paris. Seems a couple of Johnny Jihadis got their Sudden Jihad Syndrome on and decided to go shoot up a Texas art festival. Armed with rifles, they were shot dead by a security guard with a handgun.

The art festival was actually a draw Mohammed contest. This, apparently, results in blaming the victim, who should not have been dressed like that!

Nice shooting, Tex.

Update: Heh:

So, the capitol police can’t figure out how to drop a deuce with a gun?

This was found in the Capitol Visitor Center bathroom:

gunsbathroom

So, the guy or gal takes the gun out of the holster and, presumably, removes the magazine from it, I guess to make it “safe”. Police usually carry two mags so that’s my guess. All kinds of safety violations here, in addition to forgetting you left your fucking gun in a bathroom.

Savannah, GA

Except for the occasional McStore, the downtown is quite lovely. And lively. I guess local people want Panera and a Starbucks.

Speaking of astroturf

Is the Brady Campaign maintaining a gun owner database? If so, they may be breaking the law.

In Astroturf news

Chris Cox, on the anti-gun strategy, notes:

The goal when astroturfing is to convince decision-makers that some borderline agenda has a groundswell of support.

There’s more on the astroturf there.

And speaking astroturf, Hillary Clinton hired the director of Moms Demanding Every Town Yada Yada.

And the “campaign” against Limbaugh consists of about 10 people.

And, finally, a social media link between Ferguson and Baltimore.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
