And I’m all out of bubblegum

Hadn’t seen it in years but I saw that They Live was streaming on Netflix (and it’s free for Amazon prime members). And I watched it last night. Honestly, the premise of making people sleepy, unquestioning and stupid by shooting messages through the air seems to be unfolding in front of us but I don’t expect it’s aliens. We seem to have a handle on doing that all by our selves.

Mexicans arm themselves

In Mexico where criminals are armed with all kinds of weaponry, some of it provided by the US government, the otherwise law-abiding citizens are taking up arms for self-defense. A good read. They advocate the Mexican government have another look at its archaic and restrictive gun laws.

Maybe ATF could walk some guns to the good guys?

Does that guy ever read his email?

Loophole: Laws we don’t like

At the Tennessean, Glenn takes on the latest gun control scheme proposed by Bloomberg’s mayors:

A recent study found that mayors belonging to Bloomberg’s group have been arrested at a much higher rate than Tennessee handgun-carry permit holders, for crimes ranging from perjury and embezzlement to child sexual assault. But there’s no background check for politicians.

Well, MAIG members being over 45 times more likely to be convicted of crimes than Florida concealed firearm license holders.

This happens when people who are ignorant about guns try to make gun laws.

Gun bill in Tennessee

As a general rule, it is not illegal have a gun on you in Tennessee. It is, however, illegal to carry a gun with the intent to go armed without a permit. Intent actually matters. That is to say if you are merely transporting a gun from A to B without, you’re good. If you have a gun and no permit and the police pull you over and you say you have it for self-defense, then you are breaking the law.

There’s a bill at the capitol looking to clarify what intent to go armed means.

I thought it was a pro gun site

So the National Gun Victims Action Council FB page is overwhelmingly comprised of pro-gun comments (click “everyone (most recent)”). Also, how do they claim to have 14M members but only 140 FB fans?

Careful cleaning those things. Not for the squeamish.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Anti-gun San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi arrested for domestic violence, has guns taken. David notes the other ironies.

Acceptance of guns in sitcoms

Watched The Big Bang Theory last night and the guy that used to be on Roseanne took his girlfriend to the shooting range. Seems she shot a lot back in her home state of Nebraska and off they went (show takes place in Cali). Then, he mishandled the gun, after joking about how video games gave him prowess at handling them, and shot himself in the toe.

But I was amazed that a sitcom would actually show a range trip. They even had eye and ear protection.

Since it ended with him negligently shooting himself, I wouldn’t call it winning. But going to a shooting range being shown as fun in a sitcom is something.

All that for a Jennings?

Politifiction

PolitiFact is turning out to be a farce. Yet, again. And again.

What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?

I’m with Robb, I tend to gravitate toward functionality (i.e., carry guns, practical rifles, and some plinkers). But guns I want were price not an object and I was tossing all practicality out the window:

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppp

1 – GE Minigun. At six thousand rounds per minute and with only one pre-86 model that pops up for sale every once in a while at the price of about a quarter million bucks, I can think of no more efficient and expensive way to turn money into noise.
