Security theater

TSA fails 80% of the time.

Life in the future

This time a good one: Fighter jets with frikkin laser beams.

One would think

NRA-ILA:

It would be nice to think that with a pro-gun president and pro-gun majorities in Congress, statehouses, and governors mansions across the country, the battle to secure the Second Amendment is won. But as long as decent, law-abiding gun owners are blamed for the acts of deranged murderers, the battle can never end.

Instead, no action for the pro rights side. But Chuck Grassley wants to ban bump stocks. And Trump’s pentagon pick says it’s insane you can buy the most popular sporting rifle in America.

Rand Paul attacked

This time, physically:

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has five rib fractures and lung contusions as a result of an apparent assault Friday by a neighbor at Paul’s home in Bowling Green, a spokesman for Kentucky’s junior senator said Sunday.

And he was shot, along with other congress-critters, at a while back.

Mass shooting at a Church in Texas

So, another mass shooting and folks are furiously trying to pin the political tail on the loon. The perp was a prohibited person due to a dishonorable discharge. Yet he passed the background check for the AR he used. He was, however, denied a carry permit.

The shooter was chased and shot by two local guys. They had an AR-15.

And, of course, the usual howling to pass laws that wouldn’t have prevented it is starting.

Use a holster

In this case, though, the lack of one is a good thing:

Still pointing the gun at the workers, Pouncy stooped over to collect the cash, Antonietti said. Shifting the gun in his waistband as he ran out, he apparently pulled the trigger, firing a bullet that struck him in the penis, Antonietti said

I don’t see the problem here

The Denver Post:

Shoppers pulled guns in response to Thornton Walmart shooting, but police say that slowed investigation.

Authorities had to eliminate possible suspects from surveillance video

You mean the police had to do their job?

Ban night vision equipment

Yup, that’s what the gun controllers want.

Everything they don’t want to ban, they want to make mandatory.

Bipartisan bill to regulate bump stocks

The Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act. It’s not a loophole, unless loophole means something we don’t like. As to the bill, it looks like it would classify the devices as NFA items, subject to the $200 tax and all that. The bill was written with ATF “guidance and advice”.

This looks like a better* of other proposals that could outlaw after market triggers.

And, as I’ve said before, if this passes, gun owners need to get something in return.

* I’m using that word loosely. It’s still a dumb law. But at least it looks like it’s written by someone who isn’t ignorant of current law.

Witch Hunt: NY regulators investigating NRA Carry Guard

At The Seattle Times:

An insurance policy offered by the National Rifle Association is under scrutiny by insurance regulators after gun-control groups raised questions about how its being marketed.

Carry Guard insurance was launched earlier this year by the nations most powerful gun lobbying group and is being promoted to gun-owners as needed coverage to help cover civil and criminal legal costs in cases when they shoot someone in self-defense.

Gun-control advocates have called it murder insurance, because they believe it would lull gun owners into a false sense of security and encourage them to shoot rather than try to avoid confrontations.

New York state financial regulators have launched an investigation into how its being marketed and whether the NRA is illegally receiving commissions without proper licensing.

I don’t know anything about insurance law but this pretty much tells me that Carry Guard will be illegal in NY.

Sound and fury

Seen at Joe’s: The Impact of Mass Shootings on Gun Policy:

We find no significant effect of mass shootings on laws enacted when there is a Democrat-controlled legislature.

There’s a lot more.
