Borepatch leaves MA and buys his first gun.

Over at LuckyGunner, use code Uncles9mm for $20 off 1,000 rounds of already cheap 9mm ammo by Remington.

Suppressor sales on the rise, with Texas leading the way:

In Texas, 3,621 silencers were sold in fiscal 2010, ahead of 2,053 in Florida and 1,153 in Georgia, the data show.

Suppress your weapons. It’s the polite thing to do.

That’s my educated guess.

why, suddenly, people cared about what libertarians thought about stuff. That explains it.

Cool stuff made from ammo. A bit spendy, but still neat.

Mentioned the guy on TV who resisted a Taser. Well, this cop, during testing, manages to draw and fire a gun while being tasered.

Gun controllers upset their own admitting it’s a lost cause. Heh.

Txgunner: If you just did the speed limit, it’s a non-issue.

Show of hands: who really does the speed limit? Hop on any interstate and if you are keeping with the flow of traffic, you are, in my experience, doing at least ten miles per hour above the speed limit. This morning on Pellissippi Parkway, the speed limit is posted at 65. Almost everyone was doing at least 75. There is no reason modern cars cannot safely travel 80+ miles an hour. And everyone knows this and that’s why they drive that fast. The speed limits are ridiculously low so that cities have an unending source of revenue and to make hippies feel better about gas consumption.

When everyone does the speed limit, uncivil obedience happens:

Bryant left the office, retrieved a low-power hunting rifle from his vehicle and returned to his boss’s office, holding him hostage for 20 minutes around 5:30 p.m., Tombragel said.

Didn’t they get the AP style guide? Those are always high-powered assault weapons.

Federal ‘aid’ went to companies other than banks, including GE and Harley Davidson. $16B to GE as the feds bought some paper. Odd how we never heard about that from any of the GE owned media groups, who seemed to cheer the idea of such aid.

You don’t have to fly. You can take the bus. Oh, wait. In that case, you don’t have to take the bus. You can drive. Oh wait:

Local law enforcement and federal agents conducted a checkpoint operation Tuesday afternoon in Douglas County, the Federal Air Marshal Service told the AJC.

“This is a live operation intent on deterring would-be terrorists or criminal activity,” Nelson Minerly, spokesman for the federal agency, told the AJC.

The operation created a big distraction to motorists heading eastbound on I-20 in rush hour, and many motorists let the AJC and the WSB traffic center hear about it.

But the operation, which also involves the Transportation Security Administration, is top-secret before it happens, Minerly said.

“We don’t advertise when they’re going to happen or when they’re going to be,” Minerly said.

Mostly trucks were being checked, Minerly said. Shortly before 6 p.m., nothing had been recovered in the operation, he said.

Guess they want us all to stay home?

Welcome to the fish bowl:

But the new reality is privacy is dead and so are secrets.

That genie is not going back in the bottle.

People, as individuals and as government agents, are going to have to adjust to the new reality. Those that can’t will continue to be “embarrassed” when their “secrets” are spread across the Internet. Once something leaves your head and is transmitted to someone else, it is effectively a public record because the Internet is forever.

So far we’ve been able to pretend privacy exists because for most people, no one cares to look.

The Brady Campaign is using the photos of James D’Cruz (plaintiff in TX case) in his Halloween costume to scare people into giving them money.

Not needed for gun control ideas.

The stages of libertarian denial. Right off the bat, a failure to classify the issue correctly. There is not a denial. There is a refusal. One who thinks that my refusal to want the government to do something is a denial is being disingenuous. We’re from different worlds. And, of course, libertarians do agree that problems exist. It’s that those problems are often the government.
