The best anti-gun research money can buy

Garen Wintemute is at it again, cherry picking data to imply gun owners are drunkards. Ok, then.

Shilling of Wintemute past.

Well, unless there’s revenue to be had.

Franken gun

Boberg, it’s kind of odd.

I just don’t wear them because they’re gay

The myth of the “shoot me first” vest.

This again?

The press is spinning the old yarn about how the four (it is four now, right?) wars we’re in are eating up the police ammo supply.

Tucson SWAT cleared in shooting of Guerena

Who watches the watchmen? Other watchmen.

Safekeeping forever

In Alabama:

A Birmingham man is asking in a federal lawsuit filed this week that Birming­ham police department’s policy of taking guns for “safe keeping” be declared unconstitutional after his pistol was taken by an offi­cer two years ago and never returned although he never used, or threatened to use, it during a domestic dispute.

The lawsuit, filed Monday by Adedayo Anthony Ag­boola against the city of Bir­mingham and a police offi­cer, claims that the taking of his gun, and the seizing of guns from other licensed gun owners in similar cir­cumstances, was in viola­tion of constitutional guar­antees to bear arms, to be free from unreasonable search and seizures, and due process of law.

Should be interesting. Sure, domestic violence cases aren’t the most sympathetic. But the report says there was not violence and I don’t see any that he was convicted.

This one for selling counterfeit sneakers.

House issues initial report on ATF gun running

A report from Tapscott. This is infuriating:

The supervisor of Operation Fast and Furious was “jovial, if not, not giddy but just delighted about” walked guns showing up at crime scenes in Mexico according to an ATF agent.

As has been thought all along, this was likely an attempt to create a problem so that ATF could solve it. Secure funding and all.

What government does

Takes a decent idea and makes the whole thing worse.

Ahhhh… The internet… Where men are men, women are men and little girls are FBI agents….

What’s in a name?

The Mrs. took the kids to Build a Bear yesterday. Whenever the kids go, the both always build dogs and not bears. Junior built herself a dachshund that had rollerskates. And she named it Weiner.

I wonder if she’s been watching the news?

The most expensive Glock out there

A cut away model that shows you how it works:

From Gun Porn

I saw this at the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation match. Craig’s Firearms had table set up there with various Glock toys and accessories.

Very cool to actually cycle and pull the trigger and watch all the parts move.

Black Powder AR-15

Cemetery tries some black powder loads in his AR with video.

And a look at clean up.

Before, he ran a 1911 in black.

Good guy v. bad guy

The UT police said that allowing permit holders to carry on campus would slow down their response time and ability to determine who was a good guy and who was a bad guy.

Over-diagnosed

There are some folks with serious and not so serious mental health issues. A lot of these seem over-diagnosed. But we’re working on that: Half of Us Are Mentally Ill (and the Other Half Are Undiagnosed).

In a lot of cases, a kid doesn’t really have ADHD or any other disease. They’re often just lacking in the amount of discipline and accountability at home.

For your own good

Soon, you may want to get some rat poison. But you’re not qualified and will have to get a professional to buy it and use it for you. Because you’re not smart enough.

The usual suspects clamor for gun control

Feinstein and Schumer call for renewing the assault weapons ban and more gun control. Perhaps they should have spent some time with some looking at the ATF with their colleagues.

Great spokesman for gun control

Plaxico Burress, who shot himself in the leg while trying to catch a dropped gun that he was carrying unlawfully and without a holster, will be appearing with the Brady Center People for redemption.

That’s a great role model there.
