Security Theater

The TSA at work:

Texas Tech University sophomore Diana Durkin faced backlash with Transportation Security Administration in the Houston Airport Security after throwing up the hand signal for Guns Up when she saw a fellow fan in the security check point line.

Well, OK

A holster with a built in fan. No, really.

Trump administration loosening gun export regulations

From The Hill:

The Trump administrations expected plan to transfer the licensing of gun exports from the State Department to the Commerce Department has Democratic lawmakers and foreign policy advocates readying for a fight.

The proposal under review by the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has yet to be made public, but experts fear it will lead to less oversight of commercial sales of assault weapons like submachine guns and flame throwers to foreign buyers.

Less oversight, they warn, could make it easier for deadly weapons to end up in the hands of terrorists and drug cartels.

Experts? And this:

The goal is to reduce regulatory burdens on manufacturers and exporters.

I have no problem with this.

Quote of the day

In comments, ExpatNJ quips:

Reminds me of the cold-war of the 55mph speed limit:
First, the Traffic G*ds gave us Radar Guns.
Then, the radio engineers gave us Radar Detectors.
Then, the Traffic G*ds gave us Radar Detector Detectors.
Then, the radio engineers gave us Radar Detector Detector Detectors.
Then
Ultimately, vehicles could become so heavy, they would not go over 55mph anyway

That made me laugh.

Well, it’s not exactly heartbreaking: Imad al-Alami, who is a key link between Gaza and Iran, reportedly shoots himself in the head while inspecting his gun

Don’t point guns at things you don’t want holes in.

Yup

Gun ownership rates and gun control laws still don’t have much bearing on your state’s gun homicide rate

Or I could buy 3 P-Mags

+5 extensions for P-Pags. They look like a great way to aid in re-loads. But $40 a pop and I have about 100 AR-magazines, that seems a bit high.

The party of involuntary servitude

Some democrat wants people to serve a year in service of the country.

The party of smaller government

Trump wants to bring back earmarks.

Sessions wants to crack down on state legalized marijuana.

Internet gun sales

NRA lets us know that the GAO was told by anti-gun congress critters to study how easy it was to buy a gun online while being a prohibited person. Turns out, not that often:

In yet another embarrassment for the gun control lobby, a government investigation of online gun sales designed to determine whether private sellers would knowingly sell a firearm to an individual prohibited from possessing one determined that no, actually, they would not. In 72 attempts undertaken over 2 years, undercover agents trying to buy guns through readily-accessible Internet sites failed exactly 100% of the time to complete a sale when the seller had reason to believe the buyer was prohibited or lived in another state.

And from the actual report:

Tests performed on the Surface Web demonstrated that private sellers GAO contacted on gun forums and other classified ads were unwilling to sell a firearm to an individual who appeared to be prohibited from possessing a firearm. Of the 72 attempts agents made to purchase firearms on the Surface Web, 56 sellers refused to complete a transaction: 29 sellers stated they would not ship a firearm and 27 refused after the disclosure of the undercover identities stated prohibited status. Furthermore, in 5 of these 72 attempts, the accounts GAO set up were frozen by the websites, which prevented the agents from using the forums and attempting to make a purchase.

The stupid

Economic illiterate and general leech on society Bernie Sanders wants Trump to know that some patriotic millionaires want taxes raised. As is pointed out there, the Treasury accepts donations. So, write a check.

And, Bernie, how much extra do you donate to the Treasury every year?

Will it die in the Senate?

The House passed concealed carry reciprocity.

I don’t carry one on my person. I do have a couple at home and one in each vehicle in the first aid kit. I’m fond of the CAT tourniquet. The Army uses it too.

Priorities

NewsObserver: With resources scarce, ATF struggles to inspect gun dealers

Too busy shutting down businesses, making up the law as they go, and bureaucrating. Maybe the should focus on processing forms?

Security cameras

Heh

Indeed

I found some old Black Talons and Hydrashocks in very used Sig P228 magazine. I keep some of them around as a novelty. But I did shoot a few.

The future of gun rights

And the history of gun rights on the internet make up this great read over at Sebastian’s. I can really disagree with in it. It’s important Trump get at least one more SCOTUS pic.

Also, that post reminded me this blog turned 15 back in August. I don’t think I mentioned that on that day. It can get its learner’s permit.

I’m certain that got his attention

Delusional SJWing

The sheer prejudice in two articles about blacks owning guns and trans people owning guns is rather ironic. Who wants to disarm them both? Democrats.
