Bringing firearms sales into the 20th Century

A bill:

Recognizing the need to revamp outdated and restrictive gun laws, U.S Senators Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) have introduced the Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act. The bill allows for the interstate sale of firearms and removes several antiquated and unnecessary restrictions imposed on interstate firearms transactions.

“Utahns and Americans everywhere have a right to bear arms, and this legislation ensures that onerous and outdated restrictions on everyone’s Second Amendment rights are no longer in place,” Sen. Hatch said. “By removing these restrictions, we can ensure that the constitutional freedoms we seek to protect remain intact.”

Good. And this:

Current laws restricting interstate commerce of firearms not only lag behind common sense and new technology, they are unfair and burdensome

Indeed. Though it does require face to face transfers, so no internet sales, which isn’t quite modern.

Conditions of readiness

Never really cared for the notion as I like to keep my guns ready to go, save a few collectibles in the safe. But Weerd has a look. And, also, Tactical Butterscotch?

Not helping

TN Rep. Curry Todd, who the press points out was the lead sponsor of the bill removing the restriction on carrying guns where alcohol was served, got pulled over for DUI. And he also had gun in the car. Now, do you think the press is outraged that he was hammered as dammit and behind the wheel of a several thousand pound vehicle and speeding down the road or about the firearm in his car? The former is definitely more dangerous and the latter was likely not an issue.

In Tennessee, you cannot consume alcohol while carrying a firearm. It’s not at all like our DUI laws in which you can drink to a certain BAC level and drive as long as you’re not impaired. If I’m carrying a firearm and have a glass of wine with dinner at friend’s house, once I get in the car, I’ve broken the law. That didn’t change since the supposed guns in bars bill. And if the Rep. got tanked in a local bar while carrying his weapon, he broke the law again.

I don’t hate the .40. I just don’t get its appeal.

Rossi Ranch Hand

I cannot help but want one of these for the cool factor. With a rail for a red dot, of course. I realize it’s about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop but, damn, it’s cool.

6.5 Grendel

Now a SAAMI cartridge. AKs coming soon, which is odd to since the Grendel is known to be an accurate round but the AK isn’t exactly known for being an accurate rifle.

They’re both sorta right. Where the hippies get it wrong, though, is that they can reign in the government with their vote. The corporations, not so much.

Center for Zombie Awareness

From Brownells*. No. You do not use a shotgun on zombies.

Sears had one last year and it looks like it’s about to relaunch.

Odd how anti-gunners want to paint pro-gunners with that label. But, you know, not actual insurrectionists.

I’m not into religious wars and such. But in the event someone decided to threaten me with death because their invisible man in the sky can beat up my invisible man in the sky, this is pretty much how I feel about it:
