And we’ll soon see his position on taking gun cases.

Junior makes an appearance in this piece by Oleg.

That’s what it’s always been about:

Gun banners only pass gun control laws that apply to the innocent.

It’s only for innocent people, like you and me.

Chinese tourists like to come to America to shoot guns. The Japanese do too. We have a Japanese owned company that operates in The City (My The City) and they often send executives from Japan here to work for a few years. And one of the first things they all do when they get here is go shooting. And to a strip club.

I’ve been watching the show Designated Survivor. It’s an OK show but one of the few both I and the Mrs. watch together. And this past week’s episode was full of anti-gun nonsense. And a lack of facts about existing law. The first lady was advocating for mandatory background checks, which we already have. The episode was full of other lefty wet dreams such as wind and solar power. It was a good show until it got politically preachy up its own ass.

I wasn’t the only one who watched it.

In, what I thought was a risky move, the NRA endorsed Trump. Now, it appears, some are worried he’s working to pay them back:

President Trump promised the NRA he would never let it downand he and Republican lawmakers have been quietly going about the work of living up to that pledge.

In May 2016, the National Rifle Association gave Donald Trump an early, and critical, vote of confidence by endorsing his presidential bid while other conservative groups were still plotting to overthrow him. The NRA stood by Trump throughout the tumultuous campaign and spent $30 million to help get him elected. In turn, Trump vowed to the gun lobbys members that he would never let them down. Remember that, he said.

The article goes on to mention reciprocity and the hearing protection act.

This is just a train wreck on the part of the ATF agent:

Well, the youtube time comment made it worse.

LuckyGunner’s Chris Baker has done some good work here. There’s a lot of information on the rounds in 2 and 4 inch barrels. Nice work.

This is pretty cool but I’m not so sure I’d like to be cutting on my magazines:

Blogging went the same way. Up until about 2012 or so, this blog made a decent chunk of money. I mean, not like I could live off of it with a family or anything. But enough to support my shooting and technology habits while making a profit. Social media became a thing and website reading, in general, went the way of clickbait and listicles to draw eyeballs from social media. And that was that. Blogging declined, except for those who adapted to the new way or those who already had a very large audience. I’m guessing the number of new blog readers is barely a blip these days. The difference between the social media folks and bloggers is the latter owned their content and delivery system. The social media types don’t own and are dependent on the delivery system someone else owns. And it’s their house and their rules.

Life in the future.

Texans love their firearms, more than any other state

Robert from Blackfork has returned. I’ve always enjoyed his photographs. Welcome back.

Handgun Roundup: the Full-Size Beretta 92s

The ATF had a little love fest for Jeff Sessions saying it was going to do whatever it could to help reduce crime. Aren’t you guys supposed to be, essentially, tax collectors, inspectors and paper pushers*? But in the day where everyone gets a SWAT team, I suppose they feel the need to branch out:

Brandon’s prepared remarks said ATF urged the prosecution of thousands of people last year, and is prepared to do more this year.

“We focus our resources on the worst of the worst violent offenders,” he said. “In fiscal year 2016, ATF recommended more than 14,000 individual subjects for prosecution; on average, those subjects had 8.5 prior arrests and 2.2 prior convictions.”

“Many of ATF’s prosecution referrals involve gangs and other violent criminal organizations, and we work closely with our State, local and Federal partners to disrupt and dismantle these organizations,” he added.

Interesting to me is the use of the words “recommended”, “urged”, and “referrals”. So, are you guys not actually arresting and prosecuting people?

* Given the backlog for NFA transfers, you should probably focus more resources and attention on the paper pushers.

Get off my team

Suarez International is offering a course on, and I am not making this up, KILLING WITHIN THE LAW. What in the actual fuck? No pretense of self defense just right to giving wannabe operators turgid little nubbins.

Do the lessons include how to drag the body inside the house and planting weapons on dead bodies?

Heh:

Dialogue is meh. But the gun fights are hysterical and true to the actual movie.

Tennessee senate panel kills another pro-gun bill.

Mentioned before how The Slingshot Channel had a video taken down because the DailyMail misrepresented the video but they used a lot of scary appeals to emotion. Well, JoergSprave was victorious:

He also has a hilarious bit on the DailyMail’s reporting here.

Thanks to the folks who commented on this!

TN Representative Mike Stewart, D-Ranged, doesn’t like lawful commerce. So, he decided to set up a stand to sell lemonade, cookies, and an AK47 to show how easy it is to sell guns. As to his bill, I’m no sure what it does since the reporting on it is lacking:

Rep. Stewart is presenting bill HB1319, which is designed to restrict the sale or transfer to a federally licensed gun dealer, before a subcommittee vote Wednesday morning.

I’d have walked up and bought it.

We don’t make sense but we sure like pizza

ATF’s Associate Deputy Director wrote a white paper on removing suppressors from the NFA and other pro-gun reforms. He appeared before congress to answer questions about what he wrote. And this happened:

Do you represent the NRA? asked Representative Gerald Connelly, a Virginia Democrat, his voice rising. Or do you represent the American people at the ATF?

Turk began to answer, but Connelly cut him off.

I represent victims from Virginia Tech, Connelly said, referencing a 2007 mass shooting at the university. We buried 6 young people. And I couldnt explain to them why an ATF representative might think that legalizing silencers might be a good idea.

What does anything in that word salad have to do with anything else in that word salad?
