Shocking.

Via PopeHat, and I apparently wasn’t told it was blog like instapundit day.

Still had the sticker on it so maybe it wasn’t owned either.

The language in the article is amusing. They call it a prank, maybe it was. And they call the shooting accidental. It was not. The homeowner shot a man he believed was attacking him. While ‘sure of his target’ in the immediate sense of ‘I’m being attacked’, he was not so sure in the broader sense of ‘who exactly is this person?’

Hard to call that one a bad shoot. Easy to call it having dumb friends.

Android-powered smartphones will help soldiers of the future discover better trails, locate colleagues and build stronger defense — capability that just doesn’t exist today. They’ll be a permanent fixture in the United States Army, officials said.

That’s cool but I was hoping based on the headline we had robots.

Rumors that Amazon is developing a phone.

What I believe is that the vast majority of gun nuts, especially those who think they have to carry a gun while in public, and I know or have known many, are mostly older white guys, racists, who are afraid of a list of imaginary boogie men: blacks – especially black teenage boys in hoodies and sagging pants – surely they are all “street corner gangsters;” Hispanics – surely they are all illegals and wetbacks; white teenage boys in hoodies and sagging jeans, white trash, communists, Democrats, women (of all races), etc.

That thing looks unwieldy

I need every example that you can find where opponents of shall-issue laws claimed that there would be murder, mayhem, increases in road rage arguments escalating to gunplay, and so on, that you can find.

Here’s a list of ‘blood in the streets’ and here’s one of ‘wild west’. That’s a good start.

The sad news, I’ll have to get rid of Tactical Car, and that really bums me out.

But for U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., the detailed questionnaire the U.S. Census Bureau sends out to thousands of households every month is a little too Orwellian. It’s too intrusive, he said, and poses too many questions that are none of the government’s business.

“It seems to me that is Big Brother type of government,” the Knoxville Republican said.

I’d ignore it anyway. The whole agency is make-work jobs who need stuff to do the nine years they’re not working on the constitutionally required census. And I’ve had a few clients who get those monthly manufacturing reports. Those are such a waste of time.

What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing.

Well, any editorial board, really.

And, as discussed back when I used to write and stuff, the import rules and firearms laws also limit innovation.

VEPR and more

Chicks and guns and smiles

Did you know Beretta has a shop in NYC? Me neither. But they do.

Also, fewer rewards are being offered and no more free checking. I have the Amazon Rewards Card. I get one point per dollar spent and three points per dollar spent at Amazon. And I can use those to buy stuff at Amazon or get other rewards.

And there’s a new website with an interesting take on gun safety, ten rules.

Also, 49 were warning shots?

Mill your own made up guns

I could tell you not to click this but you will anyway.

Also, my son has heard this song in the car. And he sings part of it some times. And he gets the lyrics wrong: Money don’t grow on cheese. I laugh every time I hear it.

And it’s his birthday. Six years old. So, yeah, they do grow up fast.

Happy birthday, Son.

One in three occupations requires a license.

Banning drawstrings, for the children.

And, of course, from a couple days ago:

Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice.

I’d have guessed as much:

YHM Black Diamond

New model Shrike. Wonder if it’s vaporware this time or if you can actually buy them.

You can get them here.

“The safest place to put your money if it’s legitimate is in a bank account,” the officer told NewsChannel 5 Investigates. “He stated he had two. I would put it in a bank account. It draws interest and it’s safer.”

“But it’s not illegal to carry cash,” we noted.

“No, it’s not illegal to carry cash. Again, it’s what the cash is being used for to facilitate or what it is being utilized for.”

“But you had no proof that money was being used for drug trafficking, correct? No proof?”

“And he couldn’t prove it was legitimate.”

He doesn’t have to you idiot. And this is why the answer to ‘may I search your car?’ is always no.

Also, on the drive to school, I listen to the local affiliate of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy radio for weather and traffic. The topic was, of course, gay marriage. And they were getting the usual calls from people poo-pooing gay marriage. After about a minute, I changed it. I don’t want my kids listening to that nonsense. We know a few gay couples and our kids think nothing of it. And let’s keep it that way.

This way, you can put all manner of sights, gizmos and doodads on your AR. Some video here featuring the aforementioned blonde.

I appreciate the difficult work performed by law enforcement officers in this country. But when an officer reaches the point where his concern for personal safety does not permit him to recognize the Constitutional rights of other Americans, it’s time to find a new line of work.

Uberty El Patron. I hope it’s not named after tequila because then it would suck.

More M&P kool aid.
