Feminists are so cute

And are, of course, bigoted:

Youve had your chance, bepenised ones. And youve blown it. What youve proven, time and time again, is that you cannot be trusted to behave yourselves after dark.

Aww, you have an opinion. Good for you. Too bad it’s a stupid one. And this one sounds totally made up. Sure, some people are jerks on trains. Some people, not just men.

Seriously, what has happened to feminism? Other than it’s gone insane.

Lack of self-awareness

Tennessee bill to allow victims to sue owners of gun free zones

The Tennessean:

If a Tennessee grocery store bans guns on its property and a black bear or wild hog kills or injures a person who otherwise would be carrying his or her gun, the gun owner would be allowed to sue the property owner if a newly introduced bill became law.

And:

To accomplish that goal, the legislation allows any Tennessean with a valid gun permit to sue a property owner in the event of injury or death provided the incident occurred while in a gun-free zone.

Well, that would certainly motivate some anti-gun businesses. What about .gov facilities?

WECSOG*: Converting 15 round M&P9 Magazines to 17 rounders

Whenever I buy magazines, I look for bulk deals. For instance, every once in a while, Brownells will have a deal on a 10 pack of PMags (not now but they do regularly enough). And sometimes you can get them for just north of $10 each.

Anyway, I found a deal on another site for some M&P9 magazines. So, I snatched some up. When they got here, I realized they were 15 round magazines:

I was a little bummed. I guess they were made for places outside of America, like New Jersey or Maryland or something. They were the same size as the 17 rounders I’m used to, so I decided to take them apart and see what made them 2 shy of a full load:

Seems they compressed a bunch of extra spring at the end of the spring. I suppose I could just order replacement springs. But I grabbed some wire cutters instead and cut off the unnecessary portion of the spring:

They loaded 17 rounds just fine. I’ll check reliability at the next range trip. I may end up buying those replacement springs anyway.

Delusions of adequacy

Heh.

Constitutional carry in TN

Liston has a copy of the bill that is being put forth. This has been tried before and failed. I think it fails because so many politicians like to use the list of those with permits for mailers. And, also, the revenue that permits generate.

On crowds and attacks

I usually avoid crowds. But here’s some interesting thoughts (as well as graphic video) crowd and mob violence.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Executive privilege in fast and furious

A federal judge has rejected it:

A federal judge has rejected President Barack Obama’s assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, a gunrunning probe that allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to flow across the border into Mexico.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that the Justice Department’s public disclosures about its response to the so-called “gun walking” controversy undercut Obama’s executive privilege claim.

Jackson said she wasn’t questioning the propriety of Obama’s claim of privilege, but ruling that the claim could not be sustained in view of other information the Justice Department had released on the topic, chiefly an Office of Inspector General report released in September 2012.

Doubleplus ungood

We must lie to hide our true goals:

And every time liberals speak blithely about banning guns, they boost the N.R.A. Lets also banish the term gun control: the better expression is gun safety.

And, surprisingly, the NYT guy nails this one:

So why does nothing get done? One reason is that liberals often inadvertently antagonize gun owners and empower the National Rifle Association by coming across as supercilious, condescending and spectacularly uninformed about the guns they propose to regulate. A classic of gun ignorance

Yeah, I cut the quote off because that’s about where it should have stopped.

So much for that narrative

Cops cannot tell who the good guy with a gun is! Except they can because the good guy will be the one complying with the cops.

Donald Trump on gun control

He’s been talking a good game supporting gun rights here recently. But that hasn’t always been the case:

I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.

Like other issues he’s opined on in the past, you have to wonder if he’s sincere or if he’s pandering.

The Clinton Gun Control Files

With a quote of the day:

Much as I hate to say it, the NRA is effective primarily because it is largely right when it claims that most gun control measures inconvenience and threaten the law-abiding while having little or no impact on violent crime and criminals.

Clinton was advised several times that gun control was a loser.

It’s only a model

The trouble with global warming proponents is they reject reality in favor of their model:

If these researchers have any real arguments showing that the satellite data are wrong, the place to prove that is in the peer-reviewed scientific literature – not a propaganda video.

And you’re proud of that?

My local county sheriff RECEIVES DESIGNATION AS HIGH- INTENSITY DRUG AREA. And they’re proud of that:

Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong and Blount County Mayor Ed Mitchell are elated that Blount County was recognized today by the White House as a county that is heavily involved in addressing the problem of drugs in our community.

I guess they’re excited about all the free federal money they’ll be getting.
