Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

Go Green!

Fancy New Digs

Not here. But Bison Armory has a snazzy new webpage. Robb does good work.

targets to diagnose shooting problems

heh.

Here’s some real ones.

New (to me) suppressor

DeGroat NANO, Narrow Aperture Noise Obliterator. And it’s titanium.

US Marines on problems with military’s current rifle

Time magazine has a look.

Lying to win

Henigan misrepresents Barr and Gottlieb.

Ya know, I’ve used the lying to win meme for a while. And the problem with the meme is that they don’t actually win. So, I may have to change it to Lying to Lose.

A civil rights victory

In Texas, empty holster protests allowed and folks not limited to ‘free speech zones’.

Pre-crime update

More on the Oregon man who was raided by two SWAT teams and had his guns taken because he bought guns after losing his job. Good news is he got his guns back. And is likely going to sue. Bad news, of course, is that it happened in the first place.

Retention

State trooper leaves gun in Lowe’s bathroom.

What online tool would you, as a gunnie, find useful?

Well?

Belle Meade Gun Ban

I got this via email of the NRA warning that:

On Wednesday, March 17, the Belle Meade Board of Commissioners will consider a proposed ordinance (Ordinance 2010-2) that would forbid any person with a handgun carry permit to carry within the city limits.

This would be problematic because it’s a violation of Tennessee’s preemption laws. And probably unconstitutional. The other issue is that I didn’t know anything about it. So, I sent an email to some folks to see if they had heard of it and ACK posted about it. Turns out (via ACK), not so much:

The current Belle Meade municipal code includes a section on firearms and weapons that says “it is unlawful for any person to carry in any manner whatever, with the intent to go armed and razor, dirk, knife, blackjack, brass knuckles, pistol, revolver or any other dangerous weapon or instrument…”

It also includes the phrase “except the army or navy pistol which shall be carried openly in the hand.”

The new ordinance deletes the exception that would include the Navy black powder pistol Leonard Embody carried when he walked down Belle Meade Boulevard in mid-February.

The author, Sherry Phillips, continues:

Embody, who is active on many gun rights blogs, first gained attention in December when he brandished a loaded AK-47 pistol at Radnor Lake State Park.

I think he was active. Most blogs and message boards I know of have banned him or made fun of him for being an asshole. Also:

As you probably know, he came into the city [with a Navy model 1851 black powder pistol] basically forcing our hand on the law,” Thornburg said. “The police were expecting him to come, we were expecting him to push buttons.”

She said Embody found a loophole in the law that allowed him to carry the military-style weapon, and the city is amending the law to take off the out of date exemption.

For once, the press uses the phrase military-style correctly to describe a 150 year old black powder revolver.

Out of committee.

But firearms are unregulated

A look at shotgun laws, to explain why this may require a $200 tax or a $5 tax.

Conversion

More on the Mac converted to take Glock mags.

Turns out, not so much

A bit back, the GunPal CEO was arrested for impersonating a police officer and pulling someone over. Turns out, not so much. All charges dismissed. And, apparently, made up.

Witch Hunt

Apparently, Omaha offers a reward for information about ‘illegal guns’. Because you can tell they’re illegal by looking at them. In other news, I did not know that Omaha registered guns.

Not a bug, a feature

I do not think that means what you think it means.

Pointy end toward enemy

At least he doesn’t have his booger-hook on the bang-switch.

Quote of the Day

In comments,the Geek says of Paul Helmke crying about guns being normalized:

More to the point, it’s evidence that the gun bigot’s decades long organized attempts to -de- normalize guns has collapsed into ignominious failure.

Word.

Forced Gun Sales

I concur with the latest iteration of the TN hippie contingent:

Making the sale of confiscated weapons mandatory seems like a serious overstep on the part of the state. Each county and municipality should have the authority to determine what is right for its community, rather than be dictated to by the state legislature on this issue.

Sure. Let the cities decide what they want to do. But, as is expected from the local hippie contingent, the truthiness is weak:

The revelation that two guns used in recent high profile shootings only makes that more clear, even though the sale of those weapons came years before the enactment of this law.

Except that whole part about that law not being in effect when those shooters obtained their guns. So, Memphis did decide to sell the guns prior to that law going into effect. But the progressive community tends to get facts about guns wrong, so that’s not surprising. They even parrot the year of the gun canard:

here’s to hoping that at some point these folks will stop focusing so much on firearms access, and spend a little more time on something that effects all of us, like say employment access.

Last year was called “year of the gun” because the legislature spent a whopping 1.8% of their time addressing gun bills that Jimmy Naifeh had spent years killing in committee.

Clenched fist salute to ACK.

The science is settled

Environmentalists are dicks.

And they steal.

Witch hunt

That definitely looks illegal.

In Toronto, a $500 reward if you give a tip to police regarding the whereabouts of an illegal gun. How would you know if the gun is illegal.

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