Win gun stuff on the internet

Right here

Democrats really don’t like civil rights

They have a history of it.

In New Jersey:

The New Jersey Legislature has sued to try to roll back a new rule by Gov. Christies administration making it easier to qualify for a permit to carry a handgun.

NSSF: AR-15 Used in Oklahoma Home Defense; Same Rifle 4th Circuit Court Says Americans Should Not Have

Lying to pad the numbers

Remember that kid who tried to steal a gun from a gun show and was stopped by people at the show? That apparently counts as gun violence.

Liquor laws

State laws are usually interesting. Tam has a bit on Indiana’s. Tennessee’s are all kinds of messed up.

You can buy beer. In some counties. On a Sunday, in some of those some counties. You can get it at the grocery store, even on Sundays in some counties. And some counties where you can’t buy beer on Sunday, you can buy beer by the drink at restaurant.

You can buy liquor. In some counties. But never on a Sunday. Unless it’s in a drink at a restaurant. But none that you can take home. You cannot get it in a grocery store ever. Only a liquor store.

You can buy wine. In some counties. You can buy it in a grocery store. On a Sunday, you can’t buy it anywhere. And I laugh when I’m at the grocer on a Sunday and all the lights on the wine aisle are turned off but the beer right next to it is for sale.

Liquor stores used to not be able to sell any beer unless it was above a certain alcohol content. And they could not sell food, mixers, or any product that didn’t contain some percentage of alcohol. Now, they can.

Our alcoholic beverage laws are among the dumbest, most illogical around.

For when your CQB is a little too C

The SEAX. The device, for a Glock 19, allows the gun to stay in battery when pressed up against something. I’d imagine that finding holsters for that thing would be difficult.

As Tom Givens illustrates in the video below, it doesn’t take much to make an auto pistol malfunction:

There are no stupid questions

Just stupid people.

Editorial: How many guns do you need?

None of your God damned business.

Honey Badger Finally A Thing

AAC had teased us with the Honey Badger, a PDW with a suppressor in the handguard. Looks like someone else has come up with one. The Honey Badger by Q:

And you can pre order now.

Congressional ATF hearing

Last week, I mentioned a report showing that ATF did a poor and dangerous job of tracking its informants. Well, congress noticed and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold a hearing on the issue this month.

The PSH is strong with this one

JoergSprave makes youtube videos that show sling shots and various launchers. He also posted a video showing how stab proof vests could be defeated. The bedwetters at The Daily Mail subsequently lost any awareness of hyperbole:

Google blood money: Web giant cashes in on vile seven-minute video showing knife expert penetrating a stab vest like the one worn by murdered Westminster PC

German weapons ‘expert’ uploaded ‘sickening how-to-stab’ video on YouTube

Jorg Sprave given award by social media giant for getting 1million subscribers

But he shows people how to plunge a knife through protective body armour

Video was online for six months despite warnings jihadis use it for ‘training’

YouTube has yanked the video. And they may shut down his channel. If you watch the video, you’ll learn that he made a particular knife just for the task. And their claim about Jihadis using his channel is ridiculous.

So much fail

So, a guy goes to a Tennessee gun show and attempts to steal a handgun. It went about as well as you would think. And he was apparently open carrying an XD. No word on if it was in a nylon holster or not.

There’s derp

And there’s herpa derp. That may be the dumbest gun thing I’ve seen in a while.

Not a very sympathetic case

A while back, I noted that a 19 year old had killed three robbers with an AR-15. Well, the grandfather of one of the little angels says it was unfair that the guy had an AR and the thugs only had brass knuckles. There were three of them. So, it’s better for the innocent party hereto have been beaten by three men with brass knuckles? No way.

Good shoot.

It will be interesting to watch this week

Gorsuch confirmation heading to the senate this week. I’m guessing it ends with the nuclear option. But we shall see.

And I heard Schumer (which autocorrect helpfully suggests Scummier as a replacement) on the radio news today yammering on about how it’s different when he does it.

Life in the future

Android overtakes Windows as most used operating system on the internet. Interesting. I figured that iOS would rank higher than it did. But, the article points out, that reflects Android’s popularity in Asia and other areas. I wonder what the percentages are just for the US.

Tennessee pro gun bills killed in committee

From The Tennessee Firearms Association:

Last week, Tennesseans heard “a great disturbance in the Force” as a small group of House legislators killed three specific bills – constitutional carry, permitless open carry, and improved civil immunity. All three bills were killed in the same House subcommittee – The House Civil Justice Subcommittee – on March 29.

Funny how all those republicans are pro-gun when running for office. But when it comes time to do pro-gun stuff, they change their tune.

Only 5?

Bacon PMAG

And one more good one from Gun Mag Warehouse, the bacon PMAG:

April fools

The one day of the year where people are aware that not every thing on the internet is true. I mulled over a few different ideas such as announcing I was the new content editor and internety headline writer for TTAG. But I never really got that into it. But other people did. Here’s some I found funny:

Brownells is getting into tactical falconry.

Thanks for the entertainment.

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