I cleaned my Wookiee suit

Sorry, don’t know the source. If you do, tell me.

Update: Source. Seems it’s a whole series by Greg Peltz. Nice.

Meanwhile, at ATF HQ in Phoenix

Hmm:

CBS News has learned that virtually all the top ATF managers in Phoenix involved in the controversial “Fast and Furious” operation have been reassigned and replaced. The shake-up comes in the wake of the gunwalking scandal in which ATF allegedly allowed more than 2500 weapons to hit the streets or “walk.”

Milestones

Last night, my son graduated pre-school. Starts kindergarten soon. I’m not all weepy yet since his last day of school is next week. But I’ll miss that place.

And, this morning, I dropped Junior off for her last day of first grade. She didn’t seem to care about it too much. But I did.

When this happens, I sit back and wonder where the years went. And someone reminded me on Facebook that They may have went, but they were full.

Indeed.

The War on Drugs makes the news

News Channel 5 notices that drug stops are a revenue measure:

Glad to see the press reporting on stuff like this.

More domain name insanity

A look at the Department of Homeland Security seizing domain names and charging people with linking to copyrighted material. Five years for linking something.

It’s a good thing they’ve rid the world of terrorism and can now focus on such trivial things.

Another government list

A proposed medical marijuana registry

Eventually, we’ll all be on lists.

ATF Comments & Astroturf

Reuters reported that 70% of comments on ATF’s inquiry on multiple rifle sales supported the measure. Digging into it, John found that there was some sort of bulk mailing going on that originated from Mayors Against Guns.

Getting them hooked early

Chuck E. Cheese’s getting sued because it hooks kids on gambling. Odd, I was just there this weekend and thought it just got kids hooked on video games, cheap toys and crappy pizza.

Keeping the world safe

Secret Service interrogates 7th grader over facebook post.

BREAKING NEWS

Man accosts and is belligerent to a bunch of gun nuts. Doesn’t get shot.

A survivalists favorite blogs, books, and products

I’m a favorite. Though I’m more like a survivalist poser.

Also, in Cali

Judge rules that the bear part of the keep and bear arms doesn’t exist: Judge England in the Eastern District of California issued a 16-page opinion find that the Second Amendment does not protect a right to carry a concealed firearm.

Lots more at that link.

Anti-gun judge in NY

Most gun cases are funneled through Weinstein in NY because he has never found a gun control law he didn’t like. Looks like that could change.

Select fire 1911

And why not:

Meanwhile, at ATF

An employee:

Management is going to order me to produce documentary evidence on a Program and Operation they say was fully within…ethical boundaries of law enforcement and initially claimed didn’t exist? Headquarters personnel are going to review these documents for value? After Headquarters has lied and covered-up and stonewalled this for several months?

In Cali

While businesses and individuals are leaving the state in droves, the powers that be take up important issues restricting rights:

A dangerous bill to regulate airguns out of existence.

And, in Cali, the carry movement was carrying unloaded guns since that was the lawful way to carry there. Now, the California assembly has voted to ban that:

The California Assembly approved a bill Monday to prohibit openly carrying unloaded handguns in public after a debate that pitted gun rights proponents against chiefs of police.

The bill, AB144, would make it a misdemeanor to carry an exposed and unloaded gun in a public place, street or vehicle except in some unincorporated areas. It was approved 45-29 largely along party lines and moves to the Senate.

Not much, apparently

Thanks to congress, you’ll soon be paying $50 for a 100w light bulb. Which you can’t properly dispose of and will wind up flushing down your toilet, which can’t handle it because congress ruined those too.

And then we woke up one day living in a fish bowl

Once again, indoor plumbing causes the court to ignore the fourth amendment:

The justices in an 8-1 decision said officers who loudly knock on a door and then hear sounds suggesting evidence is being destroyed may break down the door and enter without a search warrant.

And what does evidence destruction sound like? Meanwhile, hats off to Ginsburg:

In a lone dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she feared the ruling in a Kentucky case will give police an easy way to ignore the 4th Amendment. “Police officers may not knock, listen and then break the door down,” she said, without violating the 4th Amendment.

flipside wallet

A review of an interesting wallet. Personally, I carry a Dopp Regatta with no complaints.

Who owns the debt?

You and me, mostly.

In Mexico

Citizens defying gun laws for self-defense. Maybe the ATF will send them some?
