The Violence Policy Center’s Josh Sugarmann keeps lying and saying the gun industry is dying. But turns around and complains about the money the industry gives to NRA.

Where Great Britain used to be: Arrested and charged for practicing free speech.

In Washington, the governor signed it and it has passed. It’s a good step for gun safety, actually making guns safer.

And apparently the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership has a rough week. They were talking to the White House gun advisor and then:

One area in which Croley has shown less interest, according to several people who have spoken with him about the issue, is restricting the large-volume ammunition magazines that allowed the Tucson shooter to keep firing. When Paul Helmke, director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, broached the subject during the March 15 gathering with Croley, officials promptly adjourned the meeting.

Good. That’s how you should treat folks who oppose your rights. Then, they release this hideous ad on assault clips.

They are desperate. And I apparently should not blog more often.

Hey, that’s my gimmick.

Content to resume tomorrow. 

On travel. Maybe later.

A list of cars the feds say you can’t have, in the land of the free.

A carry permit from out of state is equivalent to their FOID card. Handy for getting out of felony convictions for transporting firearms in the sate. Illinois tends to disregard the safe travel provisions of the FOPA.

More whistle-blowers come forward.

Suppressors are a great tool for teaching kids to shoot:

Gun nuts hate registering and now we have to do it twice.

Lucky Gunner is finalizing their plans for the blog shoot. And they have put the official registration online. So head on over and get signed up. Promises to be fun with all manner of NFA weapons and free ammo.

Bronze cup used for air rifle practice turns out to be solid gold and worth a quarter million.

I’ve been critical of shoulder holsters because to draw, you have to point the gun at yourself. Turns out, a better technique eliminates that.

And put them on lists. Then, gun criminals on a list that was struck down. Up next, a DWI registry.

Tacticessorize. I laughed.

The Brady Campaign is scared that the open carry movement is expanding.

Today I made for the kids, at their request, peanut butter and salami sandwiches. My curiosity got the better of me and I tried one. While they are disgusting, they’re not as horrid as you would think.

You hardly notice Oleg is here until you go downstairs and see a half naked Playboy model with a ppsh.

I got the G Tablet yesterday. Played with it off and on. A few quick hits:

The screen is really nice.

Hardware seems great.

The proprietary software is ok. I’ll probably flash it with a more stock version of the android OS. Tap n go or whatever is weak.

The kids love it. I got it, installed Angry Birds and didn’t see it for several hours. They have all manner of games, coloring books, word puzzles, and some tank game that’s really fun.

Great for web apps an e books.

Blogging stuff is a little weird on the keypad.

Video is really good as are pictures.

Needs multiple logins so I can have one log in for kids, the wife, and me. Particularly since my son has ordered quite a few pay games without us knowing.

Some apps that work on your phone don’t work well on a tablet. And some crash, like Weatherbug. Not sure if that’s an app issue or an issue with the Viewsonic’s software.

I recommend it. Will update later and will let you know how new OS works. And I’m sure once I play with it more, I’ll like it a bit better.

First of many posts from my android tablet.

For some reason, everyone wants to ask me why they haven’t heard from the folks at LuckyGunner since they announced their Memorial Day Shoot. So, I asked. According to my sooper seekrit sources, it’s apparently turned into a bigger deal than anticipated. And they’re looking into some logistical things (like hotel room blocks, space, etc.). And they said: we hope to make the final announcement today or tomorrow and open up the registration and room blocks at that time.

So, there, you know as much as me. Well, not as much. But you know the stuff you should.

Coal Creek Armory:

If the Federal Government “shuts down” TICS will still process background checks on

Caught wind of this story on the local affiliate of vast right wing conspiracy radio. In Colorado, an 8 year-old boy acted out. Became violent. And the police pepper-sprayed the kid to control him. Now, my first thought was OMG! THE COPS ACTUALLY PEPPER-SPRAYED A KID. But reading further, this story is chock full of all kinds of fail.

He tore a piece of trim off a wall and sharpened it to cut people. Teachers barricaded themselves in a room. And he was throwing TVs. Apparently, this four feet tall, 80lb terror had them pinned. And instead of knocking the shit out of the kid in self defense, they called the po-po. The police show up and see an 8 year-old with a weapon. They no doubt run down their options. Shooting the kid is right out. Can’t really tackle him. What if you take him down and hurt him or he accidentally stabs himself with the sharp thing? Taser is no good. So, yeah, I can totally see pepper spraying the little turd.

But what the Hell were the teachers thinking and doing? You allowed the situation to escalate to such a point? That is ridiculous. Back when I was in prison (note: I worked there but still refer to it like I was incarcerated. Because I was for 10 hours a day), one of the units had an issue with a youth acting rowdy. And they called the police. I walked over, looked at the staff person who did that and said You know this is jail right? Then went and had a chat with kid involved and things calmed down. The police showed up and kinda laughed. I did too. It’s ours, we should control it. So should schools.

They interviewed the pepper-sprayed kid, who said he has anger issues. And always will. And he can’t help it. And this kid will use this excuse for acting out for the rest of his life. And this is the real problem. Time for the parents to be parents and unfuck this potential terror before he does some real damage. Eventually, he’ll be an adult.

AZ is the 23rd state to allow law-abiding citizens to carry guns on campuses.
