Suit underway regarding their firearms freedom act, which snubs the federal government.

Mentioned yesterday how the blogosphere was blamed for internet rumors even though no bloggers I know of had mentioned the rumor. Well, Steve reports a retraction:

Having heard from a couple of bloggers yesterday, I am going to plead guilty to an inexact application of the word “blogosphere”. Some of the very people I’ve characterized as the future of communications feel – justifiably – that I’ve tossed them under the proverbial bus recently.

That’s not the case. What I have done is use a term of art (blogosphere) as shorthand for all the myriad of internet communications. When I received nearly 100 emails and forwards of excerpts of a single report – and dozens of associated rumors- regarding Daniel Defense, I wrote that the “blogosphere was roiling”. A more accurate depiction would have been “rumors have been flying regarding Daniel Defense across the internet”. It was an unintentional shot at a group of individuals who I really do regard as integral parts of information distribution.

Hats off to Jim Shepherd for the correction.

Tennessee had an illegal drug tax. And it kept getting struck down. Now, there is a class action lawsuit to recover payment of the illegal drug tax.

David Hardy:

it was an NFA prosecution, where the defense launched a HARD attack on the messed up nature of the government’s NFA firearm files, including calling a very well qualified expert to testify to the unreliability of files with such flaws.

Not the first time we’ve heard of problems with the NFRTR.

I thought rocket launchers and grenades were being smuggled from US gun shows to Mexico. But ATF has other worries:

ATF worries about cartel grenades coming into US

It was a scenario U.S. law enforcement had long feared: A fragmentation grenade from Mexico’s bloody drug war tossed into a public place.

Only the grenade thrower’s bumbling prevented bloodshed in a south Texas bar — he neglected to pull a second safety clasp. But the act was proof that one of the deadliest weapons in Mexico’s drug battle is a real threat to the U.S., and investigators are stepping up efforts to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Panel in Knoxville recommends banning guns in parks (note: guns are likely already banned there). And it’s an election year.

Headline: Palin Sighted at Gun Show

But: The former vice presidential candidate, who resigned as governor on July 26, gave a speech Saturday night at the Anchorage banquet which capped a four-day National Rifle Association seminar.

A banquet is a gun show?

Aunt B.:

And so, in the new tradition of newspaper folks, I immediately contacted the AP and asked them to sue him for using my joke to amuse his reader!

Actually, you should send him a bill.

Via Michael, comes this:

An improper vehicle search by police, along with missing evidence, has led to the dismissal of charges against alleged red-light shooter Clifford E. Clark III.

Charges of felony vandalism and reckless endangerment were dismissed in a written order issued Friday by Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz.

The circumstances surrounding Clark’s arrest as a suspect were not sufficient for the arresting officers to search his vehicle without a warrant, the judge ruled.

We gun bloggers seem to take the blame for all sorts of gun industry rumors. Even though none of us that I know of even mentioned it. Not the first time Jim Shepherd tried to poo-poo blogs, either.

Via Insty, comes the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35. Nice. I was always partial to the belt fed Nerf gun myself.

In Long Island:

Those interviewed at local shooting ranges and gun shops say they are anxious about the possibility of stricter gun laws under a new Administration, and about their personal safety in a weakened economy.

Tam notes the local range has a rule saying there’s to be no loaded, concealed handguns. At a firing range. I’ve encountered this before at Gunny’s and the John Seveir Range in Knoxville. Yes, it’s silly. But I think it’s usually part of their agreement with their insurance companies.

The annual gathering of a bunch of gun nuts is less than forty days away. There will be all sorts of goodies at the event and some people you may have heard of. I’ve been asked a few times in email if the event is open to readers. Yes, it is. Feel free to register and attend. Though any questions should be directed to Mr. Completely, who’s running the event. See you in September.

I mentioned before I placed an ammo order back in June. It should show up tomorrow. Two months. Wow.

Also, the CMP is running 120 days behind on ammo.

Dave Barry:

As Americans we must always remember that we all have a common enemy, an enemy that is powerful, dangerous and relentless, I refer of course to the federal government.

Article at The Tennessean:

“People have asked me what we’d do if President Barack Obama issued an executive order to take firearms away from the people,” said Wamp. “I’ll tell you what we’d do. We will meet him at the state line!”

While I admire the sentiment, I really don’t think any sort of order is forthcoming.
