Record number of single day NICS checks on Black Friday.

Given the events of today, they probably beat the rush.

Reports of up to three shooters. And, in a surprising move, the press is using the word terror more so than they usually do. As I say whenever this happens, expect everything being reported in the first several hours to be substantially wrong.

As Sebastian says:

I dont tend to cover these stories as they unfold. Naturally there will be a lot of people with agendas exploiting this for political purposes. We know the drill by now.

Yeah, everyone will starting playing “pin the political affiliation on the psycho” in the next few days.

Now, 3D printed bullets. Not a particularly exciting video and the volume is a bit loud.

Three methods.

I’ve always just sighted mine in at ten yards and figured that was good enough for MOA*. That is, the method referred to as Spot On. Thoughts?

*Minute of Asshole.

Do Mag Bans Reduce Casualties In Mass Shootings?

Arrest made of person who supplied guns to the Jihadis. A German, internet based dealer, apparently. Odd because I’m sure that AKs are banned there.

Maybe, reports David Hardy.

Yesterday, I got the OPM letter too. They can’t secure my data but think I’m going to trust their identity protection service?

And here’s the letter the LAPD sends you if you buy a gun.

Why Congress stopped gun control activism at the CDC

Gun control people point out that the NRA shuts down ‘science’ when it actually shut down purely political opportunities for graft.

Politician responsible for SAFE act guilty of corruption. My shocked face.

Seen at machine gun shoot:

In the private sector, this would get you fired. But government:

Imagine if you will that you worked for a large company and were issued both a company car and company-provided credit card. Then imagine what would happen if you decided to use that company car to drive to a casino, to use that company-provided credit card to get a cash advance to buy chips, and you did it all on company time.

You would likely be fired and perhaps even prosecuted for stealing from your employer. Or, at least, that is how it should work in the real world.

However, if you were a BATFE Special Agent and you did this, then you just might get promoted to Special Agent in Charge of a Field Division and move into the Senior Executive Service

Unless you do

Judge rules a bb gun is not a firearm. Well, duh.

Are machine guns really that hard to control?

Do we lack the political will to do something about inner city violence? Probably. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

That’s the usual we expect from calls for gun control. Only this time, Obama kind of left that middle part out.

The Daily Star brings the hysteria:

The elite troops will also be equipped with a new arsenal of deadly weapons, tried and tested by the US special forces.

Special soft-nose bullets designed to drop Jihadis on the spot will be issued to the crack force in the next few weeks.

The bullets, described as the most lethal ever made, are manufactured by a Swiss arms company which makes ammunition for the special forces.

One of bullets hyper-expands and has a devastating effect on a human body by causing a massive hole and almost instant death.

Yeah they’re getting subsonic hollow points.

Firefighter who flunked physical requirement for job but got the job anyway:

Probationary firefighter Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder injured herself Monday while conducting a routine check of equipment at Queens Engine 308 in South Richmond Hill. Getting off the truck, Doirin-Holder missed a step and landed on her left foot, suffering a fracture, sources said.

It was her second shift after a transfer from Engine 301. In training for a hazmat assignment, officers found her struggling to perform the required tasks.

Firefighters called the tripping incident embarrassing and alarming.

If youre going to get hurt in the firehouse checking a rig, what would happen at a fire? an insider asked.

The Colt SCAMP: Yesterdays Pistol of The Future

To you and yours. And, some good news:

Rounding out the list of pro-gun provisions is section 1087, which restores authorization to the Secretary of Defense to transfer to the Civilian Marksmanship Program surplus M1911 and M1911A1 .45 ACP pistols for sale to the public. The component of the CMP that dispenses the pistols would be required to obtain a federal firearms license and abide by all requirements of the Gun Control Act pertaining to licensed sales and transfers. Currently, the military has some 100,000 such pistols that it no longer needs and that are being stored as taxpayer expense. These historically-significant firearms can now be transferred to law-abiding owners at a net gain to the governments heavily-indebted balance sheet.
