Juan Williams was fired by NPR because, well, he sounds like most people you or I know. I heard Juan on the radio this morning saying that he always thought the right was the intolerant, attack dog sort. And that he was wrong. This touches on a point that Kevin brought up on last night’s BB&Guns: For a liberal to lose faith, they have to suffer an emotional tragedy or injustice that totally throws their world view. And Juan is going through that.

Meanwhile, NPR won’t fire you for wishing your political opponent’s grandkids get AIDS.

Newspapers know that:

What’s a sure way to get Tennessee’s metro dailies to set up and take notice of the state’s rather dull gubernatorial race?

Invoke guns and concealed carry. It gets ‘em every time.

And despite the local press and liberals (but I repeat myself) trying to get everyone stirred up and hysterical over guns, the pro-rights side keeps winning.

Grilled during hearing. And this guy’s a delegate.

Oleg has pics of some pretty awesome rifles.

And, yes, I’m a part owner.

Gun nuts tend to have it.

Jay looks at Chicago’s unsafe handgun roster: It makes our Approved Firearms Roster seem positively inclusive

You know how I know he’s hardcore?

Where Great Britain Used To Be:

Cafe owner ordered to remove extractor fan because neighbour claimed ‘smell of frying bacon offends Muslims’

Robb looks at the issue. Also: Term “Gun Bigots” Used in Mainstream Paper. Awesome.

Ugly

Interesting and poorly worded poll.

I was anti-gun, until I got stalked.

BTW, anyone know why Jeff’s RSS feed hasn’t updated since September?

Will be the topic of discussion tonight on BB&Guns.

Honestly, why do you need to talk about that?

I think that’s exactly the plan.

Scary:

Three men posing as agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives kicked their way into a home in Whistler, killed a 31-year-old man and held four others at gunpoint early Wednesday, Prichard police said.

Home invasions by people disguised as law enforcement seem to happen more and more these days.

Some of our supposedly like-minded compatriots are nucking futs. Blowing through a stop sign is a victimless crime, I guess, as long as you’re lucky.

Stacey Campfield:

Bill Haslam has made a bold statement for gun owner rights by saying he would sign legislation similar to the Arizona legislation if brought to his desk. I had drafted this legislation last year but my Democrat senate sponsor decided he did not want to run it at the last second.

Make your own.

I don’t know that such a thing exists. If it fits well in your pocket, it probably doesn’t have enough oomph. If it has enough oomph, it doesn’t fit well in your pocket.

But maybe the Ruger LCP fits?

Heh.

I got tweated by the Violence Policy Center. It took a week to notice. But, still, it makes me laugh.

Heh:

I carry a handgun almost everywhere I go. Most times my wife, family and friends never know. I also have cool toys like Rambo knives, shooting gloves, knee and elbow pads, hydration packs and even boots designed for sliding down ropes and kicking in doors. I just don’t wear any of that stuff to the mall.

Honestly, I can’t decide whether tactical means black and expensive or not anymore. And I say that as a guy who owns tactical pens and tactical underwear. From a conversation I had recently, I do think that tactical a lot of times means well-made. And I am seriously thinking about buying tactical socks. Anyone who has bought socks lately can tell you that the quality of most store bought socks sucks.

Cars most likely to get ticketed.

Bruce from FB:

In Obama’s defense, it’s not that he’s anti-gay. He’s against the notion of individual rights and personal liberty for anyone.

The hard-hitting, sensationalist story is a few decades too late. Problem has been fixed.

Why does liberty lose?

A few reasons. Liberty minded people have shit to do and don’t run for office or show up at rallies. The rest of the country likes its entitlements.

And, honestly, most people are what I jokingly call libertarian-fascists. That is, they think they can do what they want but you should do what they say. After all, they know better and wouldn’t do any of that stupid stuff they want to keep you from doing.

NAACP thinks people who aren’t democrats are racist.

Tea party may have ties to racists. Which means that, you know, some racists may actually show up at rally or something.

You know, another prominent political party has ties to known racists.

Here. Judge says that sheriff can fill out the form like he chooses (in this case stating the sheriff gave more info) and that is considered executed. The determination for approval, says the judge, lies with ATF.

End of free checking accounts. Why, it’s like, someone said that would happen.

Cool pics of Ruger Chargers.

Center Balanced System Bullpups

Belt fed upper for AR-15. I guess someone realized that waiting on a Shrike was taking too long.

A fun 22. It is. I’ve shot it.
