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.

Cody Wilson, via Reason:

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

The article is about making your own untraceable gun.

Good Samaritan with concealed firearm comes to rescue of Utah police officer during assault

Nut to butt.

The local news:

Uniformed officer asked to leave restaurant because he had service weapon

Ok, then.

This is pretty ridiculous:

Zhao was arrested because he allegedly attached a 30-round magazine to a rifle. He was allowed to own both the gun and magazine, but when they were combined, the rifle qualified as an assault weapon prohibited to people with Zhaos visa status.

Oh, Virginia, what has happened to you?

Charged with selling armor piercing ammo to the shooter. Looks more like a technical sort of violation and not any ill intent.

They have to do something. This is something. So it must be done.

Giant monkey mad

I only watched it because when vacationing in Hawaii, we saw the set. My son predicted that we’d see a helicopter in a tree. Because we’d seen that at the set. Predictable movie but the fight scenes were worth it.

New York gun owners had until this week to register their guns with the state police. 81,000 of them didn’t comply. Registration (and apparently lack of registration) leads to confiscation:

The next big question is how this registry is going to be used and who’s going to follow up with gun owners. Laura Cutilletta, legal director for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, believes it could be a game-changer for police.

If there wasn’t already a registry, how would then know?

Second person of interest in Vegas shooting identified

The supreme court struck down prohibiting carry within 1,000 feet of a park.

A series of AR-15s, endorsed by a NRA board member, that are named a racist epithet.

Not helping.

If you’re a prohibited person, you probably shouldn’t do a music video where you’re holding guns. Unless you’re Marky Mark.

The Stoner Machine Gun.

Per SOFREP, it seems some of them can’t reliably feed the Army’s issue ammo; the trigger can come apart; and it may eject more than one round.

Glock fans in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

.50 caliber air gun:

Designed, engineered and built in the USA, the largest production air rifle on the planet is here from Umarex USA. The all-new Umarex Hammer is a .50-caliber air rifle capable of launching a 550-grain lead slug at 760 feet per second, producing 705 foot-pounds of muzzle energy.

Especially because he’s appropriating my culture:

I don’t name my guns. Well, let me rephrase that. I call them all the same name. Mr. Blasty.

Tactical lever gat. Sure, it’s odd but it is sexy.

Jesse James’ Donald Trump 1911. Sure, it’s odd . . . ok, it’s odd.

Looks like the CMP is set to get about 8,000 of them:

The CMP 1911 order packet will be posted 90 days prior to the order acceptance date and opening sales date. No orders will be accepted prior to that date. Please visit www.thecmp.org, click on the Sales icon then 1911 Information, for the latest. CMP customer service has been inundated with calls and emails concerning the 1911s and no further information is available at this time.

Sort of want.

If you’re charged with selling parts that convert AR-15s to machine guns, you may want to lawyer up instead of representing yourself.

Federal prosecutors claimed Bishop sold 1,400 of these kits throughout the country from 2013 to 2016 for $100 each. The kit included a piece of metal that could be placed in the lower receiver of the assault-style rifles to allow the gun to continually fire while the trigger was pressed down.

I’m guessing Drop In Auto Sears?

They have all that gun and knife control there: Gun and knife crime up in London. And the occasional acid attack, I hear.

The biggest issue facing gun rights: Urbanization.

If bill passes, it’s Daylight Saving Time in Tennessee … permanently. Dark by 5:30 is bullshit.
