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

+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.

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

Trump wants to bring back earmarks.

Sessions wants to crack down on state legalized marijuana.

9mm AK that takes Glock mags.

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.

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?

The House passed concealed carry reciprocity.

The EDC Tourniquet: Development and Application.

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.

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?

Heh

Tam: Nostalgia doesn’t belong in your CCW gun.

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.

EPA set to reduce staff 50% in Trump’s first term. Now, let’s get on other .gov agencies.

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.

Woman fires shots at husband, ‘To make him listen to me’, Arizona police say

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.

First, there was ad blockers. Now there are ad blocker blockers. Soon, we will need ad blocker blocker blockers.

A 10+1 round micro 9 from Sig. It seems it is smaller than the S&W Shield.

I’m looking at getting a shotgun*. So, these drills may come in handy.

* The Beretta 1301 Comp 24, to be exact. But I’ve to find one in stock or priced.

Carbine Williams Battle Rifle. And here you’ll find a history of Carbine Williams written by a former co-blogger.

My give-a-damn is busted. Talk amongst yourselves.

NICS checks for the year are down from last year, when everyone expected Clinton to win.

Tam on the Glock 19-x. It’s kind of M&P9 sized and that’s what I primarily carry. But she’s right: Glock knows people will buy this.

Crayon boomerite.

Oregonians freak out over the possibility they might have to pump their own gas.

The future is stupid.

Part history lesson, part gun review: Review: Springfield Armory XD-E

The ATF has proposed a rule to ban bump stocks at the Federal Register. They would like comments from industry types and gun owners. You can submit your comment here.

Miss a deadline, lose your gun rights forever

Ugh.

They know snow melts, right?

Here’s their page on it. It has a full sized frame and a compact slide. I’m guessing this was their submission to the Army’s Modular Handgun System.
