Everything is sexist

So, Trump is under fire for using “code words” to be a sexist. One of those code words is “shrill”. Gosh, I dunno why anyone would say Hillary sounded shrill:

And the code word accusation came from Fox, IIRC (can’t find it now, too lazy to google). Isn’t the code word or dog whistle accusation usually a democrat thing?

A win for knife rights in NY

John:

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals provided a win for knife rights and the Second Amendment yesterday. The case involved the suit that Knife Rights had filed in New York against DA Cyrus Vance, Jr. The judge in the District Court had dismissed that case in favor of the defendants saying that the plaintiffs did not have standing because they hadn’t identified specific knives. The Second Circuit disagreed in part and remanded the case back to the District Court for the Southern District of New York.

You don’t have anything sharp or a piece of rope?

NPR has a piece of nonsense where a guy with suicidal thoughts is worried that visiting someone with a gun may make him finally do it:

“Having tools for suicide completion … makes it way more tempting to attempt or complete suicide,”

tools for suicide completion? You have plenty of those in reach right now. And you haven’t done it yet. So, clearly, we need doctors to ask about guns in the home. Or rope. Or cars and a hose. Or a razor. Or any number of other things.

They are other and must be killed.

On lights on guns

In this post (with a throw away line base on an old internet trope), Other Steve makes a damn fine and valid point:

You know. Some day If you actually take some low light training, you might stop being so damn obtuse about things.

If you ever happen to get to take low light force on force, and see how many times your flash light hand is hit, because people shoot at lights, you might get that you are entirely wrong about what you think is clever mocking.

I agree with that 100%. But that’s likely not to ever be something I’ll have to worry about. Some people do have to train and prepare for that stuff. Some military units, SWAT teams, security details, and countless others. And they all have many things in common. One of those things is that they are not me.

We put lights on all manner of things to make them more convenient or to give them better utility. Here’s my Bosch drill giving away my position to my daughter:

The light is there to make it easier to screw things when the lighting is poor. The light on my gun is there for pretty much the same thing.

Unlike the guys mentioned above who train for that sort of thing, it’s very unlikely that I’ll ever be in a gun fight. And, if I’m in 100 gun fights, it’s unlikely that in any one of them I’d be worried about giving away my position. The aforementioned military units, SWAT teams, security details, and countless others, however, are more likely to have a need to prevent their position from being known. Me, not so much. I’m just a regular Joe. So I’m quite content putting lights and lasers on my carry gun. They’re not going to give away my position. The place where the shooting sounds are coming from will. Also, the place where the cussing, screaming, and maybe the smell of poop because I just shit my pants, having realized I’m in a gun fight will give away my position too.

Well, that would explain my drop in traffic

Are the wookiee-suiters getting prepared in meat space since arguing on the internet hasn’t worked out?

I’ve done that by cutting back on the internet considerably and focusing on the world. However, I didn’t do it consciously.

But church and state or something

So, the TN AG says that school events at churches are like school events at schools and you can’t go carrying your gun there.

Well, I wish.

This looks pretty neat. Too bad ATF has said it’s a no go because of arcane and convoluted firearms laws.

Bleg: AIWB holster for shield with Crimson Trace Green Laser

In Kydex. Seriously, somebody out there has to make something for this.

Once again, narrative

So, by now, we all know of poor innocent Ahmed got arrested for taking a clock he invented to school. Of course, he didn’t invent it and merely purchased it and put it in a case. That happens to look like a fucking bomb. Well, a bomb like you would see in a movie. His father’s company is called Twin Towers as well. The entire narrative is basically wrong.

Imagine if poor innocent Ahmed tried to take that on a field-trip to the White House. Or an airport. I’m sure they’d just let him in with it, right?

I mean, check out this candle my kid “invented”:

Molotov cocktail

Bitter clinger

Look a gun. With a Bible verse on it. That makes it even more politically incorrect. And makes SJWs cry.

I’ve seen that dozens of times

But I did not know the back story. The internet is funny. Funny how many times I found out someone I know created a thing I knew about.

It’s OK to be racist

Open Letter

Dear Magpul,

I love your stuff. I really do. But I’ve noticed that the last 8 or so items I’ve ordered from you seem to be missing the sticker that usually comes with your products. This is very disappointing to my nephew who is in the process of Magpulling his room, four wheeler, dirt bike, computer, iPad, and, well, frankly anything he can put a sticker on.

Can you start including those again?

I even made a meme:

Tar and feathers

US District Court Judge David Bury ruled on Friday that no mention of Operation Fast and Furious aka Project Gunwalker could be made in the trial of two men accused of the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Because, you know, at a fair trial details like the .gov, at best, acting irresponsibly or, at worst, breaking the law isn’t something people should know about. Or that it, you know, kinda helped facilitate a murder.

Targeting billionaires

Al Qaeda magazine says they want to target Buffet, Gates, and Bloomberg. Good thing these guys have armed body guards, right? Honestly, I’m a bit conflicted about that last one.
