Gang member found with loaded gun. You have to go see the gun.

Oh Canada: That’s some sawed off rifle.

Is “Woke” Just Another Name for Man-Hater?

I laughed. That that could be a serious philosophical exercise shows how silly gun regulations and laws are.

I suppose I can’t judge since I have a pink AR-15 but I will. Two ugly AKs.

NYC police commissioner is having a bit of the vapors over the possibility of national reciprocity for gun permits. Some choice quotes:

I think its insanity

Yup. Exercising a constitutional right is insanity.

ONeill said accidents and suicides in addition to crime could skyrocket with more out-of-state guns around town.

And where has that happened in the past?

Right now, we have a good idea of whos carrying guns. If this law passes, all bets are off,

Yes, rich white guys with connections to get a permit. Otherwise, you have no idea who is carrying illegally.

A guy claiming to be from the future (2030) tells us that there will be time travel (who knew?); Trump will be reelected; and artificial intelligence will take over. Oh, and he passed a polygraph so it’s totes legit.

The military has added 4,000 people to the no guns database maintained by the FBI.

Some of them are not all that secure because the hotels don’t reset the super user code:

Check out the short-barreled rifle that got the 49ers linebacker thrown in jail

Integrally suppressed AK

In the case of Corbett v. City of New York, he’s trying. And it seems impossible. Particularly when the hoops you have to jump through include:

You also must use recycled paper for all your printing, because lets be environmentally-friendly while failing to allow e-filing and requiring 8 copies.

Read it all. It is remarkably absurd.

Democrat waves his gun around on the Mississippi house floor.

Guns are not at all like children: They should be heard and not seen. Unless you’re suppressing it. Then neither.

Remington seeking to file bankruptcy. This is “according to people familiar with the matter”

U.S. manufactured the most guns ever in 2016

The budget deal adds an additional $300B in spending. At least the guy I supported gets it:

When the Democrats are in power, Republicans appear to be the conservative party. But when Republicans are in power, it seems there is no conservative party.

Analysis true.

Heat-seeking bullets. Yes, anti-gunners think these are a thing.

Right here

Information on the M203

A gun with a loudener.

Seen at Shooting Illustrated:

Tom Givens carries the Glock G35 in .40 S&W instead of the 1911 he used to carry, pointing out that its overall length is the same. But, he also points out, while the eight-round 1911 was a two-bad-guy gun, theres an increasing trend of multiple attackers and the Glock had enough ammo on board for a three-bad-guy world.

And read the whole thing. I don’t generally carry what I’d consider to be my competition gun. But I do some.

The Trace, on noting that only 13% of respondents to ATF’s bumpstock request support gun control, gets a little butthurt:

The results of our analysis showcase a paradox of the gun debate. While widespread public support exists for many gun regulations and policies from bump stocks to background checks pro-gun advocates are significantly more active than their counterparts when it comes to engaging politicians and government agencies.

Take someone to the range. No one smiles like that at an anti-gun event.

Cops in Scotland were in a 45 minute stand off with a toy tiger.

John Richardson has some.

This is pretty cool. Note how the AK barrel kind of flexes:

The creeping crud has me feeling like warmed over poop at the end of the day. So, light blogging.

Reader Poobie’s battle with leukemia makes my bronchitis seem trivial. So, well wishes to you, Poobie.

SpaceX launched the world’s most powerful rocket to send a Roadster carrying the MTV astronaut into orbit. Why? Because they can. Cool video. If the time thing doesn’t work, start at about 29 minutes. And wait to watch the two rockets land.

Sometimes, the future is not stupid.

Things That Made Us Say Huh?

I’m sick as a dog and my brain doesn’t want to function. Probably because it’s full of snot. So, here’s the Smith and Wesson M&P380 Shield EZ.

Gun control is not dead, gun control is undead. We just keep killing it but it keeps coming back.
