Ok, then: The University of Alabama in Huntsville has fired the professor accused of shooting six co-workers, killing three.

Student at Oregon college wants to discuss the inferiority of the AR-15. So, he brings one to school, disassembled. No one freaked out and reported the incident. Then the professor denounced [the student] as a government informant and killer. Told the university he carried a gun. And asked the head of Oregon FBI if they were bankrolling the student. Then, it gets weird.

I see what you did there.

The Commercial Squeal has a poll on whether or not the legislature should ‘override’ the suspect court ruling on guns in bars. I’m kinda torn. The TN AG is challenging the ruling now and I wouldn’t mind having some state case law on our side. But I’m sure that’s not what the Commercial Squeal means.

Not involving reloads.

Someone will say 1911 pens don’t break in 3 . . . 2 . . .

They have a website.

A vocabulary change:

I submit to you a request; that we remove the phrase “gun rights” from our vocabulary and replace it with the more human, and more accurate, “gun-owner rights.”

David Rittgers:

The litigation over the boundaries of the Second Amendment in the District of Columbia previews the kinds of gun laws that will face court scrutiny.

He has a list. I like the second one.

MA court rules safe storage laws constitutional and that the second amendment doesn’t currently apply to states. Shocking

Can be turned off.

Heh

School goes on lockdown due to reports of a gun. A Nerf gun.

Yes or no? I’ve fired a couple guns with the big dots and like them. Fast acquisition, easy to see. I don’t see those being as accurate as the small dots.

And why it’s a good rule to have.

Uhm, why?

Out of committee.

In Oregon, a man gets fired from his job at the DOT. He’s disgruntled. He goes out and buys some guns. So, the police send a SWAT Team to raid his house since he was reportedly disgruntled and because he bought guns. They took him into protective custody. People are a bit alarmed at the police tactics.

Seems they knew he bought guns from the background checks. He did not purchase multiple handguns in a week which makes me wonder how the police got this info.

On one had, could have diffused a violent situation. Maybe. On the other, that seems constitutionally suspect.

Update: your answer:

The answer is easy. Oregon is a Point-Of-Contact state for the NICS system, which means Oregon, like Pennsylvania and many other states, has its own system. While funding restrictions prevent the feds from storing information related to background checks, there is no such restriction on the state point-of-contact.

Though shootin’ buddy and Occam’s Razor suggest his wife called.

Amazing what ‘satisfies’ directors of safety. Cops arrive after incident is over. Alert students of incident after it’s over.

Good question

Expect more prosecutions, says a blog about the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

CNN: Parents demand answers from Israel in bulldozer death

The answer is standing in front of a bulldozer can be fatal. A ounce of prevention is good but the cure is getting out of its path.

I’ve been reading Larry Correia’s book Monster Hunter International. Entertaining read for gun nuts. But, as a result, every time I go to Wal-Mart and encounter some of the people, I think They must be Elves.
