The alleged problems with Glocks

Have an everything bagel and lose your child.

Alan:

If you need a grief counselor because you lost an election then perhaps politics isn’t your thing. Maybe you can coach those soccer games where everyone wins?

Which leads to this from Tam:

Seriously, is there any wine as sweet as the tears of a hippie?

It sucked. But I am all better now.

A debate I’ve had with some folks before centers on how folks of a libertarian bent lack moral conviction or are too tolerant of evil. Turns out, we’re quite moral and we have science to prove it. More from Ron Bailey. I think that what frustrates the average conservative or liberal about us crazy libertarians is that we have a:

stronger endorsement of individual liberty as their foremost guiding principle and correspondingly weaker endorsement of other moral principles

they conclude:

Libertarians may fear that the moral concerns typically endorsed by liberals or conservatives are claims that can be used to trample upon individual rights—libertarians’ sacred value. Clearly, libertarians are not amoral. Rather, standard morality scales do a poor job of measuring their one central and overriding moral commitment.

And we’re apparently autistic. Or have Asperger’s, which we knew already.

Sure, it’s written in pyschobabble, which we also have no tolerance for, but it’s entertaining.

Used by the allies.

Breda on trolls. I largely agree, though I do occasionally bring out the ridicule when they comment here. You know, shut up, he adults are talking kind of stuff. But that’s because it’s my house. And, thus far, we’ve mostly been free of trolls. But she’s right. They are not worth the time or effort.

As a general rule, I also pretty much ignore whoever the sacrificial lamb anti-gun blogger is. As much fun as reasoned discourse^tm is, it’s largely inside baseball. Because they’re shills and you’re not going to change their mind. I used to think that maybe I’d change the minds of casual readers but then I realized the only people reading them was us gun nuts anyway. So, why bother? I do, however, monitor them in the event that we get an anti-gun board member doing something dumb like advocating violence against gays; or talks to aliens; or does the sockpuppet thing; or engaging in violence. Then, they kind of become useful to me. Otherwise, they’re irrelevant buffoons who will be tossed on the scrap heap of history.

And, you know, time spent arguing with trolls is time better spent, say, blogging.

That is cool.

Three = arsenal? Cool, I have an arsenal in my bag.

Looking to opt out of mediscare.

Heh

Nemerov has a look at the Brady claims.

I guess I should borrow more than I can afford and get one of them bailouts too.

Shoot out after police raid a low stakes home poker game.

At the ER in Abilene, Texas with either kidney stones or appendicitis.  God damn, this hurts.

Smith and Wesson tacpens go right through.

Heh.

Check your bags if you’re over seventy.

Telling the tsa agent that if their ‘floor is going to be that cold, they need to hurry up and get me my shoes’ will get your laptop swabbed.

The three ounce limit is dumb because you can take all the bottles you want.

I’m going to get all absolutist at the ticket counter today. They’re going to ask me to certify that my checked firearm is unloaded. I will say all firearms are always loaded. Then they’ll have to call some one from the local police to handle the weapon. Then, they’ll ask me to certify that it is unloaded again. I will say all firearms are always loaded. And we’ll be stuck in a loop.

Also, rules of traveling with firearms are dumb. You must put it in a locked case. Most travel cases these days can be be pried open with a knife. The lock is pretty useless.

Also, airline rules usually state that ammo is to be in manufacturer’s box or packaging. This is also dumb. My ammo is simply more secure in the magazines. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve arrived at my destination and the ammo box has opened and loose rounds are amok in my luggage.

Feh.

It’s all a show.

I’m out of ammo for the Zel Custom:

Very sad.

Special made P-mags

That’s what the press tells me:

Federal agents seized five pounds of C-4 military explosives from the Colorado home of a man accused with a Navy SEAL and a Las Vegas associate of smuggling machine guns from Iraq into the U.S. for sale and shipment to Mexico, authorities said Thursday.

Sad:

Army cadets have been left ‘bitterly disappointed’ after being banned from carrying rifles on a Remembrance Day parade – amid fears the weapons might ‘upset’ onlookers.

Tam on her recent experience: Sixteen years ago, Demolition Man was funny-ha-ha. Now it’s funny-hmmm.

Some interesting stats on who kills who.
