Folding guns

While they might be a bit handy for a trunk gun, I don’t think they’re all that great for handguns.

Here’s the full conceal, which I think I’ve mentioned before. It’s a Glock with a folding magwell. Seems derpy to me.

Here’s a folding single shot 22LR pistol that actually folds up pretty small. That strikes me as more interesting since it really folds up into a small package. Still derpy to me. I guess if you’re a hitman . . .

Gura on the move

He’s petitioning SCOTUS on behalf of Defense Distributed. Here’s the petition.

Yup

I’ve harped on this before: How Government Wrecked the Gas Can

And your engine, your appliances, your vehicle in general, soaps, cleansers. The list goes on.

This guy again

So, that Voda guy decided to stand outside NRA HQ holding a gun because they are punks or something.

Enforce the laws on the books

That’s a common pro-gun argument. Looks like the DOJ is doing just that:

The Department of Justice announced on Friday that the number of people charged with illegal possession of a gun was up almost 23 percent in the second quarter of 2017 compared with the second quarter of 2016.

Then again, enforcing existing laws is rarely the purpose of passing them.

Send up the derp signal.

Not a gun but that’s a cool looking knife.

Have we reached peak social issues?

Or can we?

When I was the age millennials are now, there were only a few social issues that I recall people caring much about:

Abortion
Gun control
Tipper Gore and her war on rap lyrics
Every once in a while some religious person would call for sodomy bans
Gay rights
The crusade against drunk driving
Racism
Sexism

Since I was that age, it seems that most of those matters have been “settled”. I mean, legally. And gun control was a close one. We’re winning but I don’t think we’re about two more court cases away from it being settled. But I digress. A few activists in the other categories just went away. When’s the last time anyone heard from Tipper?

But some stuck around. MADD is now, basically, promoting prohibition.

And the LGBT groups started focusing on the T, which is such a small percentage of the population that I doubt anyone will care. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it. It doesn’t affect me and they’re not bothering me. But I do wonder if it’s a good idea to be all inclusive at what may be the expense of enabling a mental disorder. I digressed again. Sorry about that.

The race baiters and feminist warriors would disagree but I don’t think either of those isms is all that prevalent today. It’s to the extent that they have to make up things like “cultural appropriation” and “privilege”. Those terms are absolutely meaningless to me in anyway. I’m supposed to feel bad because I have “white privilege” and “male privilege”. Fuck right off. No one ever brings up “Asian privilege” or “Jewish privilege”. And those two groups do pretty well in our country. And the whole word salad of words like “triggered”, “safe spaces” and “microaggressions” and other meaningless terms that a whole generation is using kinda frightens me. Because they riot over this stuff. More digressing.

So, some social issues appear to be solved, legally. Some activists go away and some stick around. I mean, the race baiters will never go away. And, show of hands, whenever you see a headline that says some racist or sexist act was committed, do you generally believe it? Or do you think it’s likely fake? Yup, digressed again.

Why do some stick around? I’d posit that it’s because some people make a career out of it. Someone gets paid to advocate for gun control. Same with gun rights. And race baiting and so on. What say you?

I mean, if you’re doing this to make money, why not pick a truly impossible cause like peace in the middle east. Oh, wait.

But 90% support background checks

Except not.

In NY

Rep. Collins is pushing for a bill that would basically mean federal preemption of state gun laws.

“journalism”

This really should be a bigger story. BUT RUSSIANS!

Trump slump

It’s a buyer’s market

Smart devices

Disabled by sweat. So, sure a smart gun is a good idea.
