Stan Lee, comic book legend and founder of Marvel, has died. Truly a legend with what he created.

I’ve accepted it as inevitable that I will end up with a SIG Sauer P320-M17. Or just a Sig P320 in general. Because the military is going to start using them. Similar to the AR, this should mean a lot of after market support. And I like the notion of having a gun that the military issues for parts and ammo availability.
And Sig has just released an airgun version of it.
Oddly, I never felt this way about the Beretta 92.
A judge has ordered Amazon to turn over any recordings made by an Echo device that was in a house where a double murder occurred:
The ruling was handed down by Strafford County Superior Court Presiding Justice Steven M. Houran on Friday.
“Accordingly, the State’s motion to search in lieu of a search warrant is granted,” the ruling by Houran states. “The court directs Amazon.com to produce forthwith to the court any recordings made by an Echo smart speaker with Alexa voice command capability, FCC ID number ZWJ-0823, from the period of January 27, 2017 to January 29, 2017, as well as any information identifying cellular devices that were paired to that smart speaker during that time period.”
The Amazon Echo device was seized by police from the home, according to court documents.
It’s unclear whether there is any audio evidence on the device, but the court found probable cause that the speaker could have recorded “evidence of crimes committed against Ms. Sullivan, including the attack and possible removal of the body from the kitchen.”
An Amazon spokesperson told The Associated Press it would not release the recordings “without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us.”
Emphasis added. So, is Amazon saying the devices do record conversations?
In what is increasingly becoming a thing, a celebrity is calling for more gun control while admitting to breaking the existing gun laws. This time, Aston Kutcher twittered:
This isnt an either/or its a both!Support mental health initiatives & support Gun Reform Now!! My friend gave me a gun as a gift in the parking lot of the borderline on my birthday. Ive never shot it. I dont think I ever will.❤️to the families of the lost. Change is coming

If that is true, then he broke California law.
Teach your kids well, and it may pay off:
The man claimed the girls brothers were in a serious accident and told the girl she had to come with him, police said. The girl asked the stranger for a code word but the man didnt know the answer and fled the scene.
The big post election gripe by the losers in the senate is that Dems won the popular vote in senate races. These people are idiots who need to take a civics class.
Even Joy Behar said that Republicans won the senate because of gerrymandering. The states are not divided into districts in senate races. She has what I would consider to be a fairly hard job to get. One that, you would think, would require some smarts. Apparently not.
Went pretty much how everyone thought it would go. I’m looking forward to the gridlock. Good thing Republicans used those two years to pander to us gun owners by giving us what we asked for. Oh, wait. It’s unlikely in the lame duck session. The good thing about gridlock is that congress won’t pass much. The bad news is that what they do pass will suck.
Speaking of sucking, Jeff Sessions was fired err resigned. And he sucked.
California’s ‘Reasonable Regulation’ of Guns Did Not Stop the Thousand Oaks Shooting
Funny thing is, I was trying to google up the Brady Campaign’s score card, which listed California as A rated for years. It appears they don’t do that anymore. However, Gabby Giffords’ astroturf organization The Giffords Law Center does. And it gives Cali the solid A.
It’s election time and, as they tell us wrongly every year, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVAAAAAARRR!!!!!
In Tennessee, there’s been a pretty nasty senate race and I am glad that I won’t have to listen to those awful God-damned commercials anymore. The governor’s race was much more civil.
I don’t know that I’d even venture a guess on the outcome tonight, other than the Rs will pick up a senate seat or two. Any predictions?
To get a gun rights case to the Supreme Court:
The U.S. Supreme Court for a second straight year refused on Monday to hear a challenge to Californias limits on carrying handguns in public, dealing another setback to gun rights proponents.
The courts action underscored its continued reluctance to step into a national debate over gun control roiled by a series of mass shootings including the one at a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11 people on Oct. 27. It has not taken up a major gun case since 2010.
The justices, declining to hear an appeal by two gun owners, on Monday left in place a November 2017 ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding Californias restrictions.
If it won’t be heard, then it will not be correctly ruled on.
Restrictive firearms rules in Boston and Brookline are constitutional and do not infringe on the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit said in a decision.
The implementation of the Massachusetts firearms licensing statute in Boston and neighboring Brookline “passes muster under the Second Amendment,” the court said in upholding a lower court’s ruling.
Calling for the mass murders of gun owners.
Anti-gun Alec Baldwin got arrested for fighting over a parking spot.
Trying out the British Army’s new assault rifle:
Joe:
The government thinks interpretation of firearm law by the ATF and distributed to the public is too confusing for a jury to understand when explained to them by two or more lawyers. And they will prosecute individuals who violate the privately held interpretation of the prosecutor and suppress any interpretation publicly distributed by the ATF.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
