The push to get rid of their gun registry is moving forward.

Voters of Maine vote for bigotry.

All guns are always loaded:

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Vicente Padilla is recovering from a bullet wound in his leg after a target shooting instructor accidentally shot him.

[...]

Padilla handed the pistol to a shooting instructor, a former police captain, who didn’t realize there was a bullet in the chamber and shot himself in his hand, Padilla’s legal adviser Roberto Calderon told The Associated Press. The bullet also grazed Padilla’s leg.

I mentioned that someone was suing a bat maker because bats apparently are good at hitting things. Which is what bats are supposed to do. Well, the bat maker lost. I weep for the future.

Ok, thanks to WordTwit, the twitter account is active again.

And I’ll say ignore it. And you’ll make smart ass comments.

Ok, this one works. Thanks to Mike for telling me about WordTwit.

Looks like I have the blog to twitter thing worked out. I’m using twitter tools now. Will let you know how it goes.

ETA: Doesn’t add links to the blog. That’s kinda worthless. So, no twitter-fu for you.

Ignore.

Bitter tells us that Mayors Against Guns just lost 16 more mayors in Pennsylvania.

Heh.

The idiots at Center for Media and Democracy are upset that gun makers want to do their part to raise money for breast cancer research. Smith and Wesson offered up a special edition Julie Goloski M&P JG 9mm pistol for a silent auction. Julie has a post detailing the weapon and other particulars at her blog. The auction benefits the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It’s part of Shooters’ Supply Aim for the Cure.

But the Center for Media and Democracy doesn’t think us icky gun owning sorts should be involved in helping do our part. How petty and stupid. You can head to Julie’s for info on how to bid on the pink S&W.

Meanwhile, the pink AR-15 offered by DPMS to benefit breast cancer research that I mentioned earlier went for over $3000. I’m sure that would really annoy those ninnies at the Center for Media and Democracy.

WizardPC tells us that:

One of the lawyers that wants the government to prohibit carry permit holders from going in restaurants that serve alcohol is defending those restaurants for selling alcohol to minors.

Gun shop owner says he’s accused of racism if he refuses certain sales:

“People asking for Glocks, because they hear about them in rapper songs,” said O’Brien, who has worked in the gun industry for 12 years. “I try to steer them back to models more suited for first-time buyers, but they say: ‘No, I want a Glock.’ And they don’t know anything about Glocks or guns at all.”

But red flags trump profit.

“If I don’t feel right about a sale, I won’t sell it,” O’Brien said. “Because I’m white, bald and tattooed, they think I’m racist when I refuse a sale.”

Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester chastises the Republicans for hypocrisy.

The Foundry:

Congress is actually using your tax dollars to pay social scientists to find ways they can avoid actually talking to their constituents while improving their chances of reelection.

Turns out all those lawmakers being investigated for ethics violations, it’s because we’re all racists.

In MA, you get five years for possessing some sheet metal. If you rape a child, you get up to 3.5 years. The worse crime is not complying with the state.
