Where Great Britain Used To Be

Via TP, the police raid and crack open thousands of safety deposit boxes. That place is done.

Boomstick or treat

In Baltimore, an off duty police officer drinks and goes to a haunted house. Where he pulls a gun on one of the characters.

Wii Bleg

I’ve had a Wii for a while. Great fun even though I only have like three games. I was thinking about getting a shooting game. Hsoi seems to like the Nyko perfect shot as an accessory. But what other shoot ’em up games are there and are there any shoot ’em up games for kids?

That’s a fireball

But you can’t carry it in your pocket, now can you?

Loaded Chamber Indicator

Seems everyone thinks they’re a dumb idea. Even me. That is, until I read the latest American Rifleman and it had a review of the Kel-Tec RFB. The author noted that the only way to check the chamber was to remove the magazine, flip it over, and look up the magazine well. I can see an indicator being handy there but I would not rely on it as a substitute for gun safety.

Good question

Why does Nashville have 9 helicopters with thermal imaging? More than NYC.

In which I agree with Arianna Huffington

For serious:

On Friday, I’m taking part in a debate that will be broadcast on C-SPAN. Howard Dean and I will be crossing rhetorical swords with Dick Armey and John Kasich on the question “America’s Future: Can Capitalism Survive?” The event will be moderated by Joe Scarborough. I plan to make the point that what we have right now is not actually capitalism — it’s corporatism. It’s welfare for the rich. It’s the government picking winners and losers. It’s Wall Street having their taxpayer-funded cake and eating it too. It’s socialized losses and privatized gains.

Guns in bars

AZ just went through the same thing Tennessee did with guns in restaurants. Kevin got his activism on.

Polls

Libertarianism at a high.

Some gun polls.

Gun Porn

News photos for gun nuts.

$57K shotgun

Chicks and machine guns

Portrayed positively in the press? What’s going on here?

Kalashnikov says he has regrets

About the firearm that bears his name:

Approaching 90, the inventor of the Kalashnikov assault rifle has one big regret:

The almost unstoppable Kalashnikov, designed in 1947, has become the weapon of choice for militants and rebels from Liberia to Afghanistan as well as gangsters and drug traffickers.

“It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon,” Mikhail Kalashnikov said in a videotaped address to a conference of Russian arms traders and designers at a top-secret Soviet-era arms testing facility outside Moscow.

And I heard commies used it too.

I was surprised his list of regrets did not include short sight radius, poorly designed selector switch, awkward magazine well, and lack of a bolt hold open.

Also interesting:

Anatoly Isaikin, the chief of the arms trading monopoly Rosoboronexport, said counterfeit Kalashnikovs “tarnish the brand because these weapons are sold in conflict regions.”

“Of course, their quality can stand no comparison with those Kalashnikovs produced in Russia,” Isaikin said.
Rosoboronexport is negotiating draft agreements with foreign producers of the weapon to protect it and other Russian arms, he said. He said 30 foreign producers currently make Kalashnikovs.

Saying dumb things on the internet

Michael Silence notes:

The FBI has expanded its investigation of reported death threats against the attorneys for the alleged ringleader in the torture slayings of a Knox County couple.

The News Sentinel was served Monday with a federal grand jury subpoena for information related to a comment posted in September on its Web site, knoxnews.com.

On the advice of corporate counsel, the newspaper turned over the information late Monday to FBI Special Agent Gregg Harmon.

NFA Transfers

People have been noting that NFA transfers for machine guns, suppressors, etc. seem to be taking longer these days. Here’s why:

From Gun Porn

Received that via email and can’t find the original source. But the numbers are fairly consisent with numbers reported here.

Priorities

You ever notice how education is always the top priority in an election year as opposed to the rest of the time when everyone couldn’t really give a damn?

Capacity

People say to me Hey, how could you possibly ever need more than a ten round magazine?.

I say I dunno, maybe if my home was invaded by 16 people?

May Issue

In Sacramento, they issued 37 handgun carry permits. The anti-gunners crap themselves. There’s probably 37 in my neighborhood.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
