Astroturf

Another “X for gun safety” has shown up

The press and guns

Still can’t figure out what “semi-automatic” means.

And the Newtown shooter had a shotgun in his glove box that held 70 rounds of ammo.

I can tell he’s serious by all the caps

RICK TAYLOR – WORLD’S GREATEST TACTICAL INSTRUCTOR

He even has his own gun, the M&P17.

Enjoy the decline

A book, by the Captain. Sad to say, I’ve not managed to read it yet what with all the busy I have. But I need to make it a point to enjoy the decline while preparing for it.

Noted gun expert Joe Biden

He says the senate’s gun control bills are “only the beginning“. Well, anyone paying attention knew that.

Ponies.

Non-deal alert

Update: this is a bad joke that I thought was clear. Do not buy these.

P-Mags in stock at amazon. But for that price, you can usually get three. And they’re for real ARs.

Also, this ruins my plan of using amazon’s subscriber service to have one shipped every month.

Well, I guess zero is “affordable”

In Casa de Uncle, I am the primary bread-winner. I own three companies, one of which is this blog. This blog, btw, sucks as far as companies go in terms of making money but I have two more that earn us a modest living. The Mrs. has a part time job at a local health care concern and, basically, she goes there to work, get away from kids, and for the benefits. She was told today that, effective 1/1, she could no longer purchase insurance on their plan. Now, it’s a good plan but it’s not cheap. Us and the two rug rats runs just north of $1,000 a month. But even that rate won’t be affordable under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

I long ago noted that insurance shouldn’t be tied so much to employment but it is. Now, I get to pay a fine or purchase my own. Not so sure. I will not be purchasing from a government exchange. Hell, I don’t even buy government approved toilets.

And the funny thing is, I talk to my insurance guys, lawyers and financial guys and not a one of them knows what to do. Seems all this nonsense is still up in the air among professionals until the .gov provides additional guidance or unfucks itself.

Hope and change!

Speaking of Jim Carrey

Ebay listing: Selling a Jim Carrey Autographed 8X10 Photo So I Can Afford A Gun!

And their vote counts just as much as yours

Read. Weep.

Noted Gun Expert Joe Biden

He says women are too stupid to use AR-15s and should use shotguns instead:

Meanwhile, a real gun expert looks at the differences between shotguns and AR-15s for home defense:

Armed citizen aids police

Kills suspect

How many people has @JimCarrey killed?

You know, I’ve asked this once or twice, mostly to make a point. But someone went and used my line, only they attached a number to it. I tend to doubt the number but, hey, good to see others saying the same thing.

Meanwhile, Carrey, who doesn’t want you to have guns, he brags he has an armed bodyguard, who I’m fairly sure has a gun that holds plenty of ammo.

And Carrey thinks your subhuman, which it turns out is a harsh thing to say to Gabby Giffords’ husband, who is having a rough month.

Filibuster

Cruz and Paul will filibuster the Senate’s gun control bills. This time though, they’ll do it the procedural way and not by talking for 13 hours.

Kids with guns

These pictures make me smile. Especially, this one.

Well, petty tyrants usually do

It’s OK for them to infringe on your freedoms. Not theirs, of course.

Gutenberg’s Rifle

The downloadable firearm is almost real

Rent an unconvincing redneck

So, here’s a couple of ads being run by Mayors Against Guns, i.e., Bloomberg, calling for gun control. In the first ad, our hired good ol’ boy claims to be a gun owner and is seen with his finger on the trigger. And in both ads, who knows what safe direction he’s pointing it in, though his family is walking behind him.

Looks to me like the gun owner here needs to take a gun safety class.

Name them

I read a lot of gun blogs and I never saw this.

News you can use

Long range shooting for dummies

We must ban assault dogs

Mark Kelly. gun ban advocate and hubby of Gabby Giffords, neglected to properly watch or restrain his dog on a beach and the dog killed a sea lion. Of course he doesn’t want you to have dangerous things like guns because he thinks you might act negligently. I mean, you wouldn’t want to leave a gun or large dog in the hands of someone who can’t handle it.

Meanwhile, the gun store that sold him the gun that he got caught buying has rescinded the sale.

In Tennessee

Tennessee Asset Forfeiture Bill Seeks To Abolish Abusive Police Practice. Among all the silliness our legislature is doing, this is some good.

Also, the bill making permit holders’ names private has been deferred. This comes up enough and never passes because politicians like to send pro-gun mailers to people with permits.

Unpossible

Felons can’t possess guns and they can’t carry them in parks.

Because we’re all racist when the president is black

Otherwise, what’s “white” got to do with it?

Here’s an idea: Read the bills you sign into law

Cuomo is backtracking from SAFE:

A Cuomo administration source is flatly denying the governor’s claim that his new anti-gun SAFE Act was carefully drafted, saying the governor himself wasn’t even aware of some provisions when it was hastily enacted into law.

“The governor thought the limit on the size of [gun] magazines would only apply to assault-style rifles, not to handguns,’’ said the source.

“That’s why there’s the big problem now with handguns, among other things in the statute.’’

The legal sale of virtually all semiautomatic handguns will soon be impossible because Cuomo’s law limits the size of bullet-holding magazines to seven shots, virtually none of which are manufactured for sale.

“Much of what’s in the law was drafted by people connected to Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Center, not by the governor’s staff,” the source said. “That’s why there are so many problems with it.’’

He got his marching orders from Bloomy and the Brady Bunch, I guess.

Nanny nation

If you ever decide you don’t hate nannies enough, go buy a new gas can and figure out the nozzle.

I would invade Georgia but ammo is expensive

Every so often, Georgia goes on about water rights and how Tennesseans took their land due to a surveying error. And their legislature tries to pass bills taking it back. Or something. And we Tennesseans do not accept that. Well, they’re at it again:

Georgia senators today passed a resolution calling for the correction of survey areas along the state’s northern border in a 48-2 vote, a news release states.

“The Tennessee Valley Authority has identified the Tennessee River as a likely source of water for North Georgia,” said Sen. David Shafer, R-Duluth, as he presented the resolution. “Yet the state of Tennessee has used mismarked boundary lines to block our access to this important waterway.”

Good thing for them ammo is real expensive or some Tennesseans might invade them instead of just waiting to repel invaders.

I’m with stupid

While I’m not so shocked that a writer would be this stupid, I am surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people fall for it. Of course, them falling for it is by design and aided by a willing media.

The next push

Handgun ban. The wheels are being greased and Glock, probably the most popular handgun in the US, is the target of the press.

Ouch

Pistol has an out of battery discharge.

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