In England

Man has a website called the home gun smith, with instructions on making guns. British police arrested him.

I do think

That we should enforce the laws on the books. Which is why I think the lawbreakers in Bloomberg’s video should be prosecuted. Including those that bought firearms illegally.

I’ll be one of the cool kids

I ordered me an EeePC and it should be here tomorrow. Ten plus hours of battery life, real portable. Should be a handy blogging tool.

Deal alert

Got 9mm?

Supply and demand

Seems the DOW isn’t really worth more. Money is just worth less.

I wonder why?

Howard Nemerov, who also says the Brady Bunch is violating copyright law, notes:

Almost immediately after this last article, readers reported that the link to Brady’s 2008 scorecard was dead. Searches performed since have indicated that all the Brady report cards dating back to 2001 (the first) have been removed from their site. (Is this because every year’s report card showed the same results as those found in 2008?)

I wonder why? Oh, yeah.

First rule of idiot club

Don’t take pictures of idiot club.

Another Suppressed Shotgun

This time, a Saiga.

Because you suck, and we hate you

Heckler and Koch is suing German Sports Guns and American Tactical Imports over trade dress infringements. Seems they don’t like GSG making a 22LR version of their MP5. Odd, since H undh K was sued a bit back for the same thing when they took an AR-15, put the takedown pin in the wrong spot and called it a 416. Colt sued. Colt lost.

Apparently, H undh K is suing everybody. 24 lawsuits because people are copying their stamped receiver guns with shitty triggers. Even Airsoft companies.

Because you suck and we hate you.

Like that time when the Beltway Sniper was on the loose?

Reports of Maryland State Police questioning citizens about the firearms they legally own. Anyone heard anything?

Well, the Maryland Police have done it before.

And this is why I’m not keen on registration.

Breda on hate crimes:

Actually, if this legislation gets passed, it would mean that Ms. Quinn is somehow more of a person than me.

Pink Guns

Someone actually did a poll on if women really liked pink guns. Turns out, not so much.

That is pretty cool.

An inconvenient question

Journalists shield Al Gore from hard questions.

Even Big Brother Doesn’t Like Big Brother

Tom Humphrey:

Several legislators criticized the use of cameras to issue traffic tickets Wednesday during a hearing on whether state laws should be revised to put more restrictions on the practice.

Representatives of police departments in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Gallatin told the House Transportation Committee that traffic cameras are reducing accidents and saving lives. But they faced sometimes critical questioning and comments from the lawmakers.

Rep. Richard Floyd, R-Chattanooga, said private companies operating the systems are “making money had over fist” while “intimidating the daylights out of our citizens – particularly the elderly.”

Rep. Joe McCord, R-Maryville, said after Wednesday’s meeting that he opposes “privatizing fines for profit” and suggested consideration of a law to require that companies only receive payment for services rather than splitting revenue with cities, as is now the case in Knoxville and other municipalities.

Good news for TeeVee

Seems DVRs actually increase TeeVee viewership. But someone should tell them that people aren’t watching commercials.

WWJD

The anti-gunners thinks they’re bigger than Jesus. First the Coalition to Stop Gun Ownership compares themselves to Jesus. Then, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership says turn the other cheek means you should be willing to die instead of using the best means of self-defense.

Irony

This undercover sting operation is appropriately named.

That’s racist!

Also, a whopping five out of five dentists agree he’s good at removing tooth decay.

And he holds 12 times his weight in liquid.

Update: Being told he is in the running for the Heisman. And now comes with bacon and in low-fat versions.
