In Indy. Hat tip to the Mad Rocket Scientist.

Ahab has more.

They do not mix. Even if you’re the police. Hat tip to reader rabbit.

Roger Abramson returns to blogging. ‘Bout time. He wrote at so many places, I stopped to trying to keep up.

To Mr. and Mrs. Voluntarily Conservative on their new addition.

The progressive for /20~ p@\/1 meet the pragmatically libertarian for Bloomberg.

I don’t know what to say.

Der Commissar posts his ideal home defense shotgun.

My thoughts on houseguns are here and here. And a lot more by Chris.

Looks like DC’s lawyer in Heller has been canned.

Sebastian has the skinny on another of their board members. She believes in crop circles, ESP, gun control and other mythology.

Update: A Truther Too? Which I’d find odd since truthers are usually pro-gun.

Via AC comes this bit from The Nashville City Paper:

Charging hundreds of dollars to a Tennessean’s right to carry a firearm is simply wrong on its face. Based on the spirit of laws already on the books, state lawmakers past and present appear to agree this a right Tennesseans have, not a privilege awarded to them by the government.

Furthermore, these charges create an economic barrier that may force law-abiding residents of our state on the lower socio-economic end of the food chain to either carry illegally or not at all. Why should single parents, young people and the working poor be at a disadvantage financially when it comes to a right others with more means enjoy freely? They should not.

True. I think the get a new permit costs $115 (it did when I got mine) and renewal is $50. Plus, you have to shell out about $100 on the training course. And ammo, background checks, and firearms are taxed highly in the state.

You’ll recall our old pal NRAFOUREVER. He wrote some pretty vile, disgusting racist stuff while parodying being pro-gun. Some examples:

Yea, thats rite, but I think you got the stastic rong. I heard Wayyne LaPeare say it was 2 1/2 milloin! THat’s a LOT more than you said hear! So I aggree, but lets get our numbers right to show that wer’e smarter than the gun GRABERS LIBS! GO NRA GO! If any of you getto nigers come to steal m y truck, I will PWN you with my rifel!

HA HA LOL LOL YOUR RITE, the libs are STUPIDE! NOT like us, we have smarte names like NRA FOUREVER and WHITECRACKER to show what we think clear and clean! Plus, we barricaede ourself in our house with guns b/c of our fear of the world! Esp. the nigers! Its not b/c were inseckure, its b/c its our RITEs gave by JESIS! Plus we love being intimete with our guns! GO NRA GO!

Then you may recall our old pal Alex Tristan Riley, whose blog mysteriously vanished after he became a Board Member of Ceasefire PA, an anti-gun group affiliated with Bryan Miller’s Ceasefire NJ. The reason was probably because he was bigoted against gays, Catholics and Muslims. That he advocated violence against people on sex offender registries. And that he is generally a disgusting human being. Well, I’m sure Ceasefire PA did not want to be associated with the likes of that and that is likely why Alex Tristan Riley’s various blogs have disappeared. Riley even went to the trouble of having them removed from the Wayback Machine and Google Cache. Some fine examples of Riley’s wisdom can be seen here.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to learn that a preponderance of evidence indicates that either NRAFOUREVER and Alex Tristan Riley are the same person. Or, I suppose it’s possible, there are just two bigoted lunatics sharing an IP address. Thirdpower shows some of the evidence. And Robb Allen has a lot more.

Armed and Safe has some more evidence and even more witty prose from our pal. Yuri has a summary. Sebastian has some screencaps of NRAFOUREVER’s work. Here’s a yahoo cache of NRAFOUREVER’s page (heh, he forgot one cache site). And NRAFOUREVER was pretty active on YouTube. He closed his account but you can still see his vile comments at other videos.

Turns out, Riley’s students aren’t fans either. Of course, given his nature as a sockpuppet, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he posts there too. And now, some other poster, is threatening a libel suit. Well, truth is a defense.

Kurt wrote a letter to Ceasfire PA.

David has instituted the CeasfirePA Watch.

I have to admit, I am disappointed that what I thought was a new troll just turned out to be one of our old trolls. Anyway, the telling thing about NRAFOUREVER is that he had to create what was the stereotypical gun owner in his mind and act on it on the internet.

This is not the first time there was strong evidence that an anti-gun board member was engaged in sockpuppetery.

Update: Note to instapundit readers: I’m not the one who found this stuff but the other bloggers linked in the post did.

Speaking of Joe, he notes that an ATF agent gets it right. Good. Though I find it odd since they have a history of feeding the PSH.

Joe looks at fertilizer regulation.

On Don Perata from Wikipedia:

Perata is a staunch advocate of gun control. In 1999, Perata successfully drove legislation that updated the California “assault weapons ban” by adding a ban of generically-described semi-automatic firearms.

That’s a bit ironic since:

Perata said today that he no longer carries a concealed-weapons permit and there was no gun in his state car.

Perata said he never had the permit renewed when it expired two years ago because he “just never had the opportunity to re-qualify” at a gun range. Perata obtained the permit out of security concerns stemming from his work regulating firearms.

7.62 ammo!

More linky, less thinky.

US Citizen heads to the range with JR.

Shiny new Kel-Tec, or as we call it in Knoxville: The Lumpy Special.

Jay posts pics of the guns he obtained in 2007. It occurred to me that I did not purchase a single new weapon in 2007. Guess I have to remedy that.

Smith and Wesson 629-5 in 44 Magnum

Another S&W.

After three months of not blogging, Mr. Breda is back.

To you and yours!
