Driver beats speed camera tickets by calculating his speed based on the pictures.

9-millimeter assault rifle

Unpossible. Those are banned there.

Interesting

David Hardy:

Under the Obama Administration, Federal weapons prosecutions have dropped to their lowest level in … well, since their previous low under the Clinton Administration.

Laws are magic

Billy notes:

Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a requirement that utilities obtain one-third of the state’s electricity from renewable sources.

Excellent! Perhaps the governor should sign a bill that bans cancer and hunger.

So does this mean ATF is smuggling guns into Jackson?

Sounds familiar:

Federal law enforcement agents say they are focusing efforts on Jackson because the city is a “hot spot” for illegal gun crimes in the region that covers Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.

How government works

Air traffic controller caught sleeping on job. Fired two months later.

Not suing ATF?

Mexico wants to sue US gun makers because our guns go over their border. First, I’m pretty sure that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prohibits that. Second, a good way to keep our guns out of your country would be, say, effective border control.

And, you know, most of your guns are coming from the south or from your own army.

Yea, and God said unto him, keepeth thine booger-hook off thy bang-switch

Koran burning pastor has a negligent discharge in Detroit parking lot.

Guns in parks

Remember when the state legislature was passing the bill to remove prohibitions from allowing permit holders to carry in parks and liberals and editorial boards (but I repeat myself) said there would be blood in the finely manicured grass and shoot outs at little league games? Well, that stuff keeps not happening.

Puritanical prudes

Why Federal Prosecutors Should Fight Nonthreatening Criminals. Surprisingly, the answer is not because they’ve rid the world of real crime.

She paid for it

Woman gets charged with reckless driving. University of Tennessee withholds her masters degree because of it. Unlike, say, a UT football player who can get arrested for drug possession or starting a bar fight and still play football. Looks like she’s getting her degree now.

Rainbow farting unicorns

Turns out, they’re kinda dangerous.

ORNL’s Reticle Compensating Rifle Barrel Reference Sensor

This is cool:

The fiber-optic laser-based sensor system precisely measures the deflection of the barrel relative to the sight and automatically adjusts the crosshairs to match the true position of the barrel.

Strategery

On fighting gun control:

The strategy here is sound. Overwhelm the opposition, and tire them out. Make them fight on so many fronts they spread themselves thin. We have an inherent advantage here they lack.

Good plan, especially when you consider pro-gun folks tend to out number anti-gun folks hundreds or thousands to one.

That’s the plan?

In the mornings on the drive in, I listen to the local affiliate of the vast right wing conspiracy for traffic, news and weather. Had to run some errands yesterday afternoon and my radio was on that station so I caught about five minutes of Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh was basically telling his audience to get ready for a tasty, tasty turd sandwich. He said something like he knew Trump and Huckabee and Romney all kinda sucked. But, you should hold your nose and forget your principles, and vote for them anyway because Obama is, apparently, slightly worse. No thanks.

Romney is so full of suck and fail I can’t begin to describe the suck and the fail.

Huckabee thinks we should be indoctrinated at gun point.

And Trump is a joke. Who supports the Kelo decision 100%. Of course he does, he’s the type of rich developer to benefit from it.

This is your plan? Really?

Like I sad, work on it.

Crimes committed as a minor could bar adult gun ownership

NY Democrat has proposed a bill to do just that.

Speaking of chicks* and guns

Some idiot named Eric Heyl says that NRA’s efforts at getting women involved in shooting are misguided because women should be in the kitchen making me a sammich. No, really. He also says the industry isn’t going to be successful in drawing them and actually uses the phrase tap that.

Some of the girly gun bloggers take him to task for being a sexist asshat. This must be a shock to him since you girls shouldn’t be blogging about guns. But I digress.

Other than being misogynistic moron, he also happens to be wrong and misleading in his premise. Saying that NRA’s push to involve women is failing because only 20% show at the convention is a stupid measure. And anyone with access to google could have figured out pretty quickly that women are the fastest growing gun owning demographic.

* Yeah, that’s right. I used the word chicks when talking about sexism.

entertainingly close

Boom

Chicks and guns

This does not look safe

NRA Blog has some pics from one of the challenges on the show Top Shot. In that first pic there, that does not look safe. Look on the ground. There are people down there. They are not down range but that guy doing his Mission Impossible impression could easily cover them. No thanks.

Released

David Olofson has been released from prison.
