Kid’s pretty amazing:

It trust my life to a GLOCK. And my wife’s to a ParaUSA. International Cartridge Corporation makes kick ass ammo. Blackhawk makes the finest shirts I’ve ever owned and the excellent SERPA holsters. Crimson Trace makes the best laser sights on the market. I buy ammo from CheaperThanDirt and LuckyGunner.

The FTC can also kiss my ass.

Update: It does occur to me that I pretty much have made all those disclosures anyway because I want readers to know the relationship. Not because I care what the FTC says. So, I guess my civil disobedience isn’t all that hardcore.

More suppressor shoot pics here. Does anybody know what suppressor is shown in this picture? Interesting in that it is shaped more like a slide than a cylinder. Thought it was cool.

Update: It is an Osprey made by Slincerco. More pics here and here. In addition to looking neat, the design allows sights to be seen over the top of the can.

A rumor a bit back was that AAC was acquired by Freedom Group/Cerberus. And then it was said that was not the case. But now, AAC has been bought by Remington, which is owned by Freedom Group/Cerberus. Thereby making that other rumor false. I guess. Seems they tend to go out of their way not to use their company names sometimes. No where in the AAC presser can I find the word Cerberus or Freedom Group. Odd that.

But regardless of all that, this is wonderful news. One of the big gun companies is getting in the suppressor game. And that is cool.

How to get a gun in Canada. It’s like they make it hard, or something.

Can your Colt* do this? AR-15 buried in the dust. That is impressive.

* Or Bushmaster, Remington, insert brand of choice.

And old one but worth noting:

Remarkably, Palmer had taken 22 hits from Soulis’ .40-caliber Glock, 17 of which had hit center mass. Despite the fact that the weapon had been loaded with Ranger SXTs—considered by many to be one of the best man-stoppers available—Palmer lived for more than four minutes after the last shot was fired. His autopsy revealed nothing more than a small amount of alcohol in his bloodstream.

Four minutes is a long time when you’re fighting.

Time magazine lists upcoming important supreme court cases. Guess which one they get substantially wrong?

CNN fact checks a Saturday Night Live skit. Are you fucking serious? How much further in the tank could they be?

So does Yahoo news.

Meanwhile, CNN hasn’t updated the recession watch page since 2008. What’s different?

Racking a slide on your Glock without touching it. With video.

Heh.

Like I said of the Democrats just in 2006 (only I won’t use the retarded monkey line this time because some bonehead will call me a racist), just shut up. They’re doing everything for you. Keep your mouths shut until you decide you’re announcing in 2010 and the rest will take care of itself. People are paying attention. And not happy. So, just shut up. Because usually when you open your mouths, you say something stupid.

And if you win, you better live up to some requests people are making.

Never videotape idiot club.

Wow:

In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.

Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.

Hope and change.

David Hardy:

Prof. Bob Cottrol once pointed out that most training is done with targets that are clearly good guy or clearly bad guy, and bad guy status is often denoted by his having a gun. He thought it’d be more appropriate to have some targets that were homeowners, armed, but not aggressive.

George Korda dusts off all the old gun puns to address the gubernatorial race and guns:

It doesn’t matter what party. It doesn’t matter what office. The gun issue shoots straight to the heart of a subject of intense interest to an important bloc of voters. Depending on where they stand, politicians at all levels are either in, or out, of the line of fire.

Surefire is introducing some tiny sound suppressors that only add about three inches to the length of an AR-15. Pretty cool.

In NJ. Nothing a couple rounds of bird shot can’t fix, if you’re not in NJ.

Federal agents decked out in Ninja gear and SWAT weapons ransack a 60 year old grandmother’s house. They don’t answer her questions and emptied file cabinets, pulled books off shelves, rifled through drawers and closets, and threw the contents on the floor. Prior to this raid, she and her husband were under investigation for six months. The reason for the resources, SWAT teams, body armor, and all manner of anti-terror, ninja suits? Orchids.

Yes, these domestic terrorist were guilty of cultivating, importing and selling orchids. Kevin addressed the case a few years back.

The linked article has more heavy-handed buffoonery:

Krister Evertson, another victim of overcriminalization, told Congress, “What I have experienced in these past years is something that should scare you and all Americans.” He’s right. Evertson, a small-time entrepreneur and inventor, faced two separate federal prosecutions stemming from his work trying to develop clean-energy fuel cells.

The feds prosecuted Mr. Evertson the first time for failing to put a federally mandated sticker on an otherwise lawful UPS package in which he shipped some of his supplies.

I’m glad to see these incidents getting more coverage to show the stupidity involved here.

It’s not like his constituents elected him to do anything hard. Senator Tom Carper:

I don’t expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I’ve ever read in my life.

I wonder why the powers that be in Oakland don’t want us to know what sort of gun was used to kill a policeman?
