Live free or there

The MA AG has released a list of what is not an assault weapon. I guess assume everything else is?

If you’re in MA, do you go by the letter of the law or by the interpretation of some lawyer?

The Trumpening: Trump shoots an M4

So reports the AP. I’d like to see pictures of that.

There’s a flood, 13 dead, 40,000 homes destroyed. Time for action.

And that action, from Obama, is, apparently, to remind everyone not to discriminate.

The dumbest thing you’ll read on the internet today

Right here. Via Sebastian with This isnt a case for the NRA. This is a case for Aerosmith.

In Venezuela

A country that’s on the brink of financial collapse decided to destroy a bunch of guns:

Venezuelan police crushed and chopped up nearly 2,000 shotguns and pistols in a Caracas city square on Wednesday, as the new interior minister relaunched a long-stalled gun control campaign in one of the world’s most crime-ridden countries.

Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the event marked the renewal of efforts to disarm Venezuelans, through a combination of seizures and a voluntary program to swap guns for electrical goods.

Venezuela has the world’s second highest murder rate and the street gangs that plague its poor neighborhoods have become increasingly heavily armed in recent years, at a time when a deep recession has reduced resources available to police.

Meanwhile:

I wouldn’t want that guy having a gun either.

Looks like a fight over the AG’s unilateral decision to make thousands of gun owners criminals is heating up:

She unilaterally changed the rules and interpretations of long standing law overnight without seeking legislative support or consultation, without consulting the state agencies that have statutory authority over the laws. She did it in secret with no public input

The family that shoots together

Protecting and serving: you’re doing it wrong

Police raided a man claiming it was a felony for him to create a parody to make fun of the police. Fortunately, he was acquitted.

The press carries the water for democrats

The WaPo’s “fact checker” gives four Pinocchios to the claim that Hillary doesn’t think Americans can keep guns in the home. There was a supreme court case that upheld the right to keep a gun in the home, The Heller case. And Hillary has said The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.

Another Democrat isn’t so good on security

Noted gun expert Joe Biden told a crowd that Trump couldn’t be trusted with the nuclear codes. Then proceeds to point out the guy with him that carries the nuclear codes for him.

Thoughts on scout rifles

From Michael Bane. I admit, I never got the concept of a scout rifle.

“good cause” requirement challenge in Cali

A three judge panel said the requirement was unconstitutional. The full court said infringing rights is okey dokey. It may get to the Supreme Court.

Reasoned Discoursetm

Pro gun people make logical arguments and appeal to reason. Anti-gun people make dick jokes.

Why are anti-gun activists so criminal?

Anti-gun AG in Pennsylvania found guilty of several felonies.

A look at handgun stopping power

Via Joe, comes this interesting read that compiles data from different shootings. It lists shots on target, caliber, one shot stop numbers, and other info. It’s worth the read.

Obviously, the 9mm is the best because it was used to shoot the most people.

Trolling aside, just looking at the break down of rifle and shotgun numbers says a lot about handgun effectiveness.

Well, if true, that’s scary

Hackers claim to have gotten their mitts on the NSA’s malware and are selling it.

Aww, that’s so cute

Some crazy feminist: All men are rapists and should be put in prison then shot

Yup. Just like all Muslims are terrorists. And all black people are thieves. Right?

Lunacy.

A photo of the new FBI Glock has been leaked. And there are rumors that Glock has started the trademark process for the term Gen-5. As for changes in the Glock for the FBI model, I’m happy to report they got rid of the finger grooves. Other changes:

A new tougher finish
Changes in the rifling
Longer recoil spring assembly
Reinforced forward notch for the recoil spring assembly
A smoother trigger similar to the G42/43
Flared magwell
Changes in the safety plunger
Ambidextrous slide release
Magazines may have an extended front lip
Magazine well cutout

STEP 22LS monolithic suppressor

This looks pretty neat:

STEP-suppressor

Yup, that thing is suppressed.

What the Hell are you talking about, Weld?

Seen at Tam’s, Libertarian Veep pick Bill Weld:

The five-shot rifle, thats a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses, Weld said. That is when they become, essentially, a weapon of mass destruction. The problem with handguns probably is even worse than the problem of the AR15.

Ugh. Flaming ignorance. And this is from supposed Libertarian. Of course, as Tam notes, this ticket is about as libertarian as a moderate republican governor of New Mexico. Oh . . . wait. For the first time I can remember, the Libertarians are the moderates.

America’s Rifle

Stephen Green, of Vodka Pundit fame, went out and bought his kids an AR-15.

Good!

Libertarians threaten to sic IRS on someone

Good for the Johnson/Weld Super PAC*:

The Socially Liberal and Fiscally Conservative PAC (Solifico) this morning sent a letter to Janet Brown, executive director of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), threatening to send the IRS after them over their policy of not allowing all legitimate candidates for president in their debates.

Well, I hope it works.

* In other news, Libertarians have Super PACs?

What does he have to hide?

Gun control “researcher” won’t let anyone see his data.

Via Insty, who notes this sort of thing happens with gun control “research”

Like you and me, only better

I await the legal consequences for Malia Obama after she was seen on video smoking weed. Equal under the law and all.

Well, that’s a new term to me

Knifeman.

Truth

Always carry a knife. I don’t always carry a gun* but I do always carry a knife.

* OK, that’s likely technically true because I have to go to schools.

Oh, ATF

ATF agent fakes cancer for sick leave pay while working another job.

But gun ownership is on the decline!

Then why are there so many new FFL holders?

Even better, new suppressor registration hits one million.

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