A reader emails on KTO’s troubles:

What makes his “frames” firearms instead of “non-firearms” is that he dimples them and appears to mill out the fire control group area. The ATF does not allow the dimpling of the locations for holes on the unfinished firearms frames because it takes away the need for “special tooling and knowledge”. You could finish it with a cordless drill at home that way.

Looks like SAF is teaming up with Scott Bach and taking on the “justifiable need” requirements for handgun permits. Here’s the press release.

More here, including links to the federal complaint.

Jay reviews The Executive II, a holster that was kinda my idea.

Also, The Holster Site is running special on high quality belts.

ATF tells non-maker of firearms to stop not making firearms.

Oleg on the stupidity of NFA rules: if my friend and I accidentally swap sound suppressors of the same exact make, model and caliber after a range session, we’d be committing felonies.

Is Obama’s choice for ATF chief an ‘antigun zealot’?

Man with no arms shoots a handgun. And reloads.

Brady Campaign withdraws Texas brief.

Fatal shooting by police officer in Texas blamed on trying to activate weapon mounted light.

Calling someone acting like a socialist a socialist got them to change their mind.

The leader of the free world is cool with the world not being free:

President Barack Obama on Saturday acknowledged some travelers’ “frustrations” with having to go through full-body pat-downs and scans at airports, but he said the enhanced security measures are necessary to keep America safe.

They’re not keeping us safe. They’re keeping us annoyed.

It’s great that Boehner is flying commercial. But walking past the security lines and around metal detectors? Like you and me, only better.

Someone who actually knows about security says TSA won’t stop anyone. It’s not about stopping anyone. It’s about appearances.

TSA will kill people!

They will ding a ding dang your dang a long ling long.

I linked the tactical mosin long ago. but here’s another pic.

75th anniversary S&W.

A friend of mine once said that what metal is to rock, bluegrass is to country. He’s probably right since I like Bluegrass and mostly hate country. And bluegrass covers are awesome:

I don’t know that the gourds are really bluegrass though.

Gate Rape. TSA hits another internet meme.

TSA takes nail clippers from soldiers? Soldiers who are armed with guns.

Illegal in California.

Been looking into engine, exhaust and intake modifications to the Tactical Car because, well, I like to tinker, go fast, and offset two Priuses (Priusi?). I’d like to drop a Stillen Supercharger in it but those are 1) expensive and 2) void your warranty. But 515hp would be fun.

So far, I’m leaning toward either a popcharger or some other cold air intake. And a catback exhaust. These offer pretty small gains but don’t hose the warranty. Not sure if the MREV and plenum spacer would affect the warranty, so probably not gonna go that route.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Or should I go with a z tube?

In Wisconsin, a ban on concealed carry was struck down as unconstitutional. The state will not appeal the ruling.

Brady Campaign endorsed John Myers, who has sponsored gun control bills. He also has a bit of a checkered past:

The most extensive arrest record the AP search turned up belonged to Rep. John Myers, D-Philadelphia. His only conviction was a February 1987 guilty plea to having an unlicensed .38-caliber handgun, with an obliterated serial number, concealed in his vehicle, according to court records. He was sentenced to 15 months’ probation.

Myers also was charged in Philadelphia with assault with intent to kill in 1972, and marijuana possession in 1980, but both cases were dismissed. He was accused of shooting at someone in Philadelphia in 1981, but was acquitted.

And this guy is now a PA rep.

Dennis Henigan clings to the collective rights mythology:

In two landmark Second Amendment cases — District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008 and this year’s McDonald v. Chicago — the Supreme Court struck down local handgun bans as violations of a newly-discovered constitutional right to possess guns “for the defense of hearth and home,” as Justice Scalia put it in Heller.

Newly discovered? That’s a lie.

No it’s not. Stop saying that.

John Harris has an alert.

Heh.

Another TSA shirt.

A picture is worth a thousand words. At least he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying it.

What we do instead of something: We’ve been dealing with the same threats for decades. But we used to be a lot calmer about it, less self-defeating

Revolt against the TSA.

Airport to opt out of TSA.

Do you realize that the search one gets before entering a maximum security prison (one of the most secure on the east coast) is less invasive than the one you get before you fly?

No. More like Texas’ only war.
