The further adventures of Obamacare

Remember when if you liked your plan, you could keep it. And you could keep your doctor too. Except that I couldn’t. Nor could most people, apparently. Well, Friday, I received a 14 page questionnaire from my tax guy regarding health care coverage for 2014.

I wonder what this will cost me.

ATF kills SB15

Once again rescinding a prior ruling, ATF says shouldering a brace redesigns something and is a no no

Update: The market has spoken.

When attending a gun rights rally, it’s important to break gun laws

Is that a SB-15 pistol with a VFG on it? ATF says it’s a no go despite a couple of courts ruling against them.

Things that look like very bad ideas

Zero Carry. No trigger guard and stick something up the barrel, no problem.

Tactical Facepalm

hurrdurr

During the Charlie Hebdo attack, gunmen forced a woman to open the door. They went in and shot up the lobby. Then went to an editorial meeting where, over the course of five to ten minutes, they executed people. As an interesting aside, they first went to the wrong business. Details here.

So, if one were to recreate what happened, they’d probably do something based on what happened. Or, instead, you could get some firearms trainers who know how to handle simunitions, let them strap on their gear and tell them to go practice a room-clearing exercise on random people you got to volunteer off the street to play CCW holder. Surprisingly, the firearms trainers manage to outperform the random people from the street.

Then, you could compound the error by inviting local media. Then, you get picked up by all the shitty, sensationalized listicle sites and are all over social media. And, boom, you got self-promotion. And since, based on my unscientific study of reviewing what stupid shit people put on facebook and twitter, roughly 95% of the population gets their news from shitty, sensationalized listicle sites, that was real helpful, guys.

I mean, I guess they could have had the random people on the street toting the terrorist rifles and peopled the room with Todd Jarrett, Jerry Miculek and Dave Sevigny to sway it the other way.

This was a stupid thing to do. And gave the other side simunition for years.

Not helping

So, the TX house is installing panic buttons because open carriers showed their butts there.

Local gun control debate

To be held at the University of TN, featuring someone you may know.

NRA suing PA counties

For ignoring pre-emption laws

PVC shotgun

Well, that went as expected.

Operation choke point

Well, if the .gov can’t ban guns, they’ll just pressure banks not to do business with gun companies.

Educating media

Our side tried it. And interesting who “journalists” take money from.

Why the CDC still isn’t researching gun violence, despite the ban being lifted two years ago

Because the used to try to politicize it and lost funding because of it.

Magloader

Anyone tried these? My mag loader doesn’t seem into it any more.

Some new suppressors

Didn’t know they made such a thing

A full auto Garand:

Ok, but also, you probably shouldn’t have pointed it at your finger and pulled the trigger

WBKO:

A former Glasgow police officer is suing a Barren County gun store after being handed a loaded gun from under the counter and accidentally shooting his finger off.

According to a civil lawsuit filed Friday, former Glasgow police officer Darrell Smith went into Barren Outdoors back in March and asked to see a .380 caliber handgun.

He then held the gun after receiving it from under the counter. Smith began to examine the gun and then cocked it. The gun was actually loaded and fired, shooting off part of Smith’s index finger.

And, before squeezing the trigger, you probably should have made certain it was unloaded.

So, you like rails?

Here’s a suppressor with picatinny rails on it. Odd. Would the addition of a forward grip make the firearm or the suppressor an AOW? Quick, ask the ATF.

Happy ending

Armed customer stops stops robbery. Convinces others to get carry permit.

Pro tip: Don’t use the wrong caliber ammo

In other news, a 5.56 AR will chamber 300BLK?

Not helping

Texas is pretty pro-gun and is moving further that way. Keep that in focus and so something productive. Not this..

Drill, baby, drill

Remember when Obama said that was a bumper sticker and not a good policy? He, of course, was wrong. But it is funny to see the mental gymnastics involved in giving him credit for the decline in prices, which happened in spite of his policies.

Another Sandy Hook Lawsuit

This time, parents are suing the school:

The suit claims the school’s lockdown and evacuation plan was practiced, but never implemented on the day of the shooting, which “resulted in the death of 20 students.” The suit also alleges the school failed to train a substitute teacher about the lockdown procedure and didn’t give her a key that would have allowed her to lock the classroom once she heard gunshots being fired on the morning of Dec. 14, 2012.
