Rapid fire guns

A Collier Flintlock Revolver and The Puckle Gun here

A happy ending

Broke into the wrong house.

Dude, campaign is over

So, last night, Barack Obama hit the campaign trail and told everyone how if he was elected we’d withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan; fix the economy; shut down gitmo; create jobs; give everyone health care; and how it was all Bush’s fault.

Wait, that was the state of the union? He’s already president. Oh. Err. Well.

And Bush is a free market type? Laughable on its face.

Anyway, I found it amusing that a lot of it was campaign promises that he has yet to deliver and campaign promises he’s broken. Since they all have expiration dates.

Then the rhetoric about bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle and the the politics of destruction. As he blamed everything on Bush.

Cognitive dissonance, only without the feeling.

ETA: Oh yeah, and props for drilling and nuclear power were quickly retracted when he proposed cap and trade and climate legislation.

Soda to cost more than beer

Well, Black Label has for years.

Short Barreled Rifles in Alabama

Currently, you can’t own them there even if you do the federal song and dance. A bill to change that is in the works and passed overwhelmingly:

A gun bill sponsored by Rep. Jeremy Oden (R-Eva) stirred a lengthy and vocal debate in the house of representatives Tuesday before passing by an 83-7 vote.

The measure, which seeks to repeal an Alabama law limiting the use of certain short-barreled firearms, sparked a heated two-hour discussion on the house floor, as a handful of representatives argued hard against passing a measure they said would take power away from law enforcement and put it in the wrong hands instead.

“I didn’t expect that kind of debate on it this early,” said Oden. “A lot of people in the anti-gun faction spoke up and tried to stall it.”

And props to NRA-ILA for running the story. Most folks think NRA tends to run from NFA issues. Good for them.

I like guns

Well, some guns. But that doesn’t mean you should own them.

Not in the face

You should never draw a gun unless you plan on using it. Or you might get your ass kicked.

BOLO

A PSA from arfcom on fake ATM readers.

Rule 3

Keep your booger hook off the bangswitch. Also, a cop under investigation for domestic violence gets his gun back?

A self defense plan

Have one. It can include running, which is probably your best bet if possible. Running, however, is complicated by other factors such as if you have kids.

Canadian Gun Registry

Voted to repeal it.

Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords

All Africa:

Under its project “Transforming Guns into Hoes” (TAE), the Christian Council of Mozambique (CCM), the umbrella body for the mainstream protestant churches in the country, has, since 1995, collected and destroyed 700,000 guns held illegally, according to the CCM general secretary, Marcos Macamo, interviewed in Tuesday’s issue of the independent daily “O Pais”.

Guns for hoes. Heh.

Got welding skills? AAC is looking for someone.

Where guns are banned

People just go crazy with swords. Clearly, we must ban swords.

Ironridge Precision 308 AR

Military Times has a look and some pics at the precision 308 from IronRidge.

New Chip McCormick Trigger

Sorta. A flat trigger with a light pull.

SHOT Report

From 230grain. Lots of pics.

Brandishing Law

In Utah, lawmakers debate legislation that says gun owners can’t be prosecuted for displaying a firearm as a warning.

The paper they’re written on

Buzz

Amazing. I did my iPad post 3:30. At 3:32, sitemeter looks like this:

From Misc

All those google searches are for the iPad. This post went up at 3:35.

On the iPad

From what I understand, in addition to sounding like a feminine product, it has less functionality and a less friendly user interface than a netbook. And costs twice as much.

And, unlike my Droid, it can’t multitask.

Guns for Cash in the Bronx

Over 1,000 guns. With pics. Can anyone ID the weapon in top left with the drum magazine and two pistol grips? I had my guesses but still not sure.

Not understanding the problem or solution

In an article that claims Sudden Jihad Syndrome is linked to sexual starvation, someone who may have been the pantie bomber:

And this problem makes me want to get married to avoid getting aroused

Ya know, you coulda just gotten laid.

On the biology of unicorns

I knew that they farted rainbows and pooped marshmallows. I did not know that they pissed Scotch.

How far we’ve come

David Hardy:

It’s 1974. No legal academic is thinking seriously of the Second Amendment; there is just a vague belief that it has something to do with the National Guard.

The NRA has about 600,000 members, and has no ILA. One person, as I recall, handles all political and legal affairs. The Cincinnati revolt that would create the modern NRA lies in the future (it came in 1977, arising out of problems revealed in 1976). Harlon Carter is enjoying retirement in Green Valley AZ, where he can shoot rifles out his back window. Neal Knox is a magazine editor in Prescott. I’m a law student.

That was how it stood, 36 years ago. Glad that I lived to see Heller, and now McDonald.

Free Speech

Means exercising your right to say others shouldn’t be able to say that. Also, bad move Tebow. You just painted the big red X on your shirt and the left and the press (but I repeat myself) are going to be rummaging through your trashcans looking for evidence of that time you saw your high school sweetie naked so they can call you a hypocrite.

In Glock news

Three men indicted for stealing from Glock.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
