Alan Korwin on the the press coverage of the gun toting activist in Arizona:

Chicago’s WGN couldn’t believe we have the right to keep and bear arms out here. I had to tell them most places have RKBA, a surprise to them in their little cloister. “Do people shoot each other on the streets a lot?” They actually asked that. These folks aren’t in a bubble, they’re in a vacuum, they get nothing. “With your new guns-in-bars law, which has created quite a commotion here in Chicago, are there shootouts in bars?” I’m not making this up.

And we all know there are no shoot outs in Chicago.

SAT scores for the class of 2009 drop.

Mentioned before was that the Army had taken over the design rights for the M4. Colt rebuts that statement.

Heh

M-16 Still Hot Enough for Marines

What’s wrong with this picture?

Be sure of your target and what’s behind it. Rounds from a .50 Browning at a machine gun shoot hit neighbors’ barns, cars and a 4H campground.

I’ve often said I don’t want the people who spend $900 on a hammer anywhere near my medical decisions. Smijer points out other great moments in government intervention.

Coming soon to a restaurant near you. I make these and they’re quite good. And fries need ketchup so I usually mix some sour cream, brown sugar, and honey to dip the fries in.

Not sure what’s more interesting about this. The fact that she actually talks like that. That she didn’t know facebook wasn’t exactly private. Or that someone on her friends list took a screen cap an submitted it to a humor site.

Update: Apparently, that was the result of a hack. See comments. Ok, then.

Ex-Student with pipe bombs, sword, a chainsaw, and other video game cliches tackled by teacher before rampage. Clearly, we should ban pipe bombs. Oh, wait.

More flashlight blogging.

Leapers 200 lumen flashlight with mount and pressure switch for under $50.

Rumors that Cerberus bought AAC aren’t true.

The bill was postponed. Apparently, there may be some compromise in the works to allow carry except when there’s an athletic event at a park. You know, the same argument about mass shootings at little league games and all that. If sporting events are so dangerous, clearly we should just ban them. For the children.

A near catastrophic error in the victim selection process.

Won’t have to hear about Michael Jackson for a while.

FirearmsFax may be a tool to let you know if a gun is stolen. And a convenient registry.

A must read.

Is this a news piece or a propaganda piece?

Update: It’s like there’s a well-orchestrated campaign or something?

I’ve heard of bug out bags. But Go Pants are new to me. Good idea though.

Seattle mayor ousted.

And pro-gun successes in Pennsylvania.

Concealed carry an issue in El Dorado County:

Sheriffs and police chiefs may demand concealed carry applicants show “good cause” before a concealed carry permit is issued in California. In El Dorado county, supervisors want “good cause” replaced with “law abiding citizen”.

In California?
