Dad posts meddling note sent home by teacher over packed lunch
Via Insty, who notes: Missing from the story: The name of the teacher. Name and shame the nannies.
Yup. The news is typically riddled with the names of people who are not government employees. Odd, that.
As opposed to what we usually do around here, SHOT and some big porn convention in Vegas at the same time. Well, both have been targeted by the nannies in government by Operation Choke Point.
People haven’t gotten the sb15 memo.
Finally Obtained: David Gregory Arrest Warrant Affidavit
Basically, the police wanted to arrest him but the prosecutor said no because he’s better than you and me. Well, that’s not really what was said but that’s what it means.
The Tread, a multi tool you wear:
Apparently, there is this football league that exists outside of college and it’s a thing. I’m usually vaguely aware of it from about the first week of January to the first week of February and then we sit around watching commercials for four hours. Any way, today’s news on all of the radio I listened to was all about how the New England Patriots may have deflated their handeggs. I mean, seriously, I turned to Rush Limbaugh to stop hearing about it and he was talking about it too. But he made the point that if people paid as much attention to their government as they do to their favorite sport, we’d probably better off.
And I’m no football expert or anything. But I’m guessing that if you air up a football inside a warm, room temperature locker room then take it outside in MA in January where it’s cold, it’d probably lose some air pressure. I remember how when I lived in Hell err New Jersey as a kid that the basketballs didn’t bounce in the winter.
Crimson Trace says store clerks hinder their sales. And their products will give away your position!
I kid. That’s a dumb thing to say. I love Crimson Trace lasers and have them on all but one carry gun, which has a red dot on it.
From the guy that lost. The GOP is a real head-scratcher these days.
Reminds me of a conversation I had today on the GOP’s issues. Democrats march lock step with democrats. They just do. Republicans have in their base conservatives, tea partiers, libertarians and evangelicals. And more, certainly. It’s why you had roughly 57,000 primary primary candidates in 2012.
But they keep running moderate establishment guys. Who, instead of pissing off one of those base members, pisses all of them off.
In TN, you can drink in a car, provided you’re not driving. But a Republican wants to change that:
Right now passengers can crack a beer while riding in a car in Tennessee. A new bill would make that illegal, moving Tennessee in line with the majority of other states in the country.
“Right now we’re encouraging people to party in the car,” said Rep. Jon Lundberg, R-Bristol, who filed the legislation Thursday.
“If people are drinking in the car, except in rare instances, the driver is often participating in that.”
Then, if they are pulled over and found to be drinking, they can be arrested.
Passing the law is going to save lives and bring more money to Tennessee, he said.
The former is a fabrication. The latter is probably what the bill is about.
I used to joke about what would happen if some stupid prank show or some such tried their nonsense on someone carrying a gun. Well, if reddit is to be believed, it happened. She beat scare tactics.
The paper of making up the record reports that no civil rights charges will be filed against Darren Wilson for shooting the thug who had attacked him.
The incident where the man lawfully carrying a gun was tackled by another man was captured on video.
Did you see that? A law-abiding black man minding his own business when suddenly an obviously racist white guy batters him. I wonder when Al Sharpton will organize a march to protest this injustice!
Also, post tackle, this is why I’m glad I carry a knife that can easily be deployed with one hand. One-handed deployment while on the ground could have ended that right quick.
Oh, there. I broke it (at about 4:25):
Lawyering up:
NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 21, 2015)—SIG SAUER, Inc., has issued the following statement about the recent opinion by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in regard to the SB15 and SBX pistol stabilizing braces.
“As reaffirmed in an Open Letter by ATF’s Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division dated January 16, 2015, the Pistol Stabilizing Brace (SB15 and SBX) is legal to own, legal to purchase, and legal to install on a pistol. SIG SAUER® believes that the PSB improves the single-handed shooting performance of buffer tube equipped pistols, and offers the product both as an accessory and pre-installed on a number of pistols.
“The Open Letter goes further to rescind a previous private letter regarding the ‘intent’ of the user of the pistol stabilizing brace. In the letter of January 16, 2015, ATF opines that a person’s actual use of the product as a shoulder stock can change the legal classification of the product. However, the Open Letter explicitly states: “ATF hereby confirms that if used as designed—to assist shooters in stabilizing a handgun while shooting with a single hand—the device is not considered a shoulder stock and therefore may be attached to a handgun without making a NFA firearm.”
“We question ATF’s reversal in position that the classification of the brace may be altered by its use. We are reviewing the legal precedents and justification for this position, and will address our concerns with ATF in the near future.
“We will vigorously defend the classification of all of our products and our consumers’ right to use them in accordance with the law. If we find that the open letter opinion is outside the scope of the law, we will seek further review.”
A NY sheriff is telling his constituents to ignore their renewal notifications for gun permits. And keep their guns.
Remember that idiot who tackled the man lawfully carrying a gun? Well, Shannon Watts, who is apparently a few fries short of a happy meal, responded:
Man arrested for tackling man with gun at Walmart. Because America. http://t.co/reEtSGvKr3 #gunsense

It’s amusing to me that, despite blocking all her detractors, they still manage to find examples of her stupidity. And it is bountiful.
Unelected bureaucrats making laws:
Despite having a gun control prop in attendance, the president snubs gun control.
Astronomer Joe White could hardly believe his eyes while studying footage beamed back from the planet by NASA’s Curiosity rover.
The 45-year-old, from Bristol, spotted what seems to be an old-fashioned pistol lying on the face of the Red Planet.
The handle and barrel of the gun-shaped rock are clearly defined, sitting amongst much smaller pieces of rubble on the surface of Mars.
Mr White, a space video journalist who runs the YouTube channel ArtAlienTV, said: “Is this a handgun on Mars?
Based on the photos, it looks as much like a gun as it does a rock.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
