Quote of the day

A man planning a case of sudden Jihad syndrome said to the police on his selection of a church as the target:

It’s easy, and a lot of people go there. Plus people are not allowed to carry guns in church. Plus it would make the news. Everybody would’ve heard. Honestly I regret not doing it. If I can’t do jihad in the Middle East, I would do my jihad over here.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Convicted murderer comes out for gun control.

I’m skeptical

Supreme Court likely to hear new assault weapons ban case

May be on to something. But the MD court didn’t really rule that way. They ruled on scrutiny. I can see a subsequent BS application of strict scrutiny causing that to happen, though.

What if they passed a law and no one followed it?

That’s what’s happening in Washington.

Win gun stuff on the internet

A round up of gun related contests here.

Reader Alien emails:

Saturday April 2 is Central Florida Rifle & Pistol Club‘s annual Ladies’ Day at the Gun Range. we’re expecting 400+ women to come out and try shooting, everything from air pistol & rifle, smallbore rifle, high power rifle, basic handguns, IDPA, 3-Gun, Cowboy, shotgun trap and archery. Probably no pink guns, though.

We’re always in need of instructors, especially at places like Basic Handgun, so if anyone is in the area and would like to volunteer for the day we’ll buy them a hotdog or hamburger lunch. Contact info for the event coordinator is at the web site.

More info here.

So, that explains it

Not really but couldn’t resist

Why Obama and other gun control advocates own stock in firearms makers

Always some thing to blame

We must ban shoes.

Homemade Glock receivers. Interesting.

He who controls the bureaucracy

OSHA is going after ammo manufacturers. Seems they want them labeled because ammo is a “chemical container”. Much more at the link.

So, profiling isn’t bad?

Police advised that certain bumper stickers might mean you’re an armed extremist.

TENNESSEE VOTES FOR ARTICLE V CONVENTION OF THE STATES.

And it happened again

Another open carrier robbed of his gun.

This is the third case I know of. Statistically insignificant but worth noting.

The butthurt locker

Moms Demand is upset that the governor of Virginia compromised. Well, that’s what they say they want, right?

Strict Scrutiny

A major win in MD. A court has ruled that the lower court must use strict scrutiny in a case dealing with a ban on “assault weapons” and regular capacity magazines. Says the court:

Likewise, the record in this case shows unequivocally that LCMs are commonly kept by American citizens, as there are more than 75 million such magazines in circulation in the United States. In fact, these magazines are so common that they are standard.

Well, they are regular capacity in most cases. And only 75 million? I find that to be a bit low.

When are Latinos not Latinos?

When they’re republicans, of course. And, also, probably because they don’t pander based on race.

In Iowa, 60% of the Republican caucus went to minorities. 0% of Democrat votes went to minorities.

Well, that’s awkward

The mosque that Obama visited has been under FBI surveillance since 2010.

Crossing the line

In TN, careful where you keep your gun when you have it in the car. This, of course, is easily mitigated by having a permit.

Financial Institution Customer Protection Act

I hadn’t heard of it. But the NRA says that it will prevent the feds from shutting down bank accounts of companies they don’t like. I like it. Of course, Dear Reader has threatened to veto it.

The TSA at work

So, the administration wants background checks for selling a gun to your dad. But they have no such requirement for employees of the TSA:

TSA still cannot verify their employees criminal histories and immigration statuses, according to disclosures made by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general.

Chicks and guns

CNN Money:

Women are buying handguns in record numbers — especially weapons that are small enough to conceal.

But they are frustrated by the lack of firearm accessories catering to them. So some are starting companies of their own to tailor products to women.

And they don’t mean making them in pink. Here’s the company website.

So, living wage, eh?

the Sanders campaign pays its interns only $12 an hour.

Pity

Rand Paul is dropping from the presidential race. His campaign never really took off, maybe because of the sideshow acts. He was who I was behind. Seems to me that he could have done well in New Hampshire. I’d have thought he’d have stayed in until at least after that and find his departure before that and the next debate unusual. I guess he’s made some sort of deal. Even though his staff is saying he’s not endorsing anyone. Or he’s worried about running for his senate seat.

WTF?

I always said the KRISS was in the wrong caliber.

“journalism”

I bet it happens here too:

A retired media boss at a major German state broadcaster has admitted his network and others take orders from the government on what and what not to report.

Thoughts on last night’s caucus

Cruz won. I was surprised. I figured it’d go to the clown show. Rubio did better than I thought.

The other establishment guys couldn’t even beat my guy. And they spent a ton of money. Jeb Bush beat me by fewer points than Cruz beat Trump.

60% of the Republican caucus went to minorities. 0% of Democrat votes went to minorities. Racists.

Hillary was up this time last year by all the points. And she barely squeaked out a win against a socialist. And even that win is questionable, since some votes were lost or whatever. And, of course, her beating the odds and winning 6 coin tosses. At least the Democrats are rigging their own elections now.

Clinton and gun control

The gun control isn’t helping her campaign. So, she should do more of it.

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