No grandfathering

Sebastian look at McCarthy’s bill and notices that the grandfathering provisions basically mean no grandfathering. The burden of proof would be on you. Additionally, it bans the transfer of standard capacity magazines.

This bill is really awful.

Cool find

Sevierville woman finds rare .36-caliber Spiller and Burr revolver

Uberti Old West Defense

Some pics.

Stupid

First grader given in school suspension for making a gun shape with his fingers and pointing it.

Arming teachers

to prevent school shooters in Nebraska.

Perfect Practice

New CMMG 22LR kit holds bolt open after mag removed to simulate real AR reloads. Cool.

Awesome

James Austin wins IPSC match with iron sighted revolver, up against a field open and limited semi-autos.

Quote of the Day

The President of the Joyce Foundation:

Over the past decade, I have watched gun-violence prevention fade from philanthropy’s agenda.

And Joyce is the biggest funder of gun control shills astroturf groups.

Need

What’s need got to do with it?

In MA

Blogger has firearms license pulled for rude comment. More from Jay. Comment was in poor taste but was far from a threat. If it was an actual threat, he’d be in jail and not just have his license revoked.

No first amendment right to record cops

Says Federal District Court Judge Suzanne Conlon.

New from Sig

A rifle that fires 7.62×39 and uses AK mags. Not sure why they call it the Sig 556 Russian, though.

TN’s Embarassment

A bit back, Congressman Steve Cohen was going on about getting a carry permit after the Tucson shooting. Now, he’s actually sponsoring the ban on standard capacity magazines. Also, he likens those that support repeal of Obamacare to Nazis. This guy’s fun to watch.

Since I’m food blogging

Beef and Noodle Soup and Homemade Stock. Yum.

Bacon Candle

Via John, comes the manliest candle in the world. Seems like a waste of bacon fat to me. I strain mine and put it in a jar that I keep in the fridge. It’s great for cooking.

Interesting

Our local paper appears to be getting its new media on. I found it pretty neat that you can comment on their stories, if you’re logged in to facebook.

Polymer cased ammo

A new line, that claims to fix the issues with previous polymer cased ammo.

PCP ammunition’s website is here.

SHOT Coverage

Glock cancelled their presser? Bummer.

2x products from Aimpoint?

Spike’s tactical compressor. A suppressed AR.

All kinds of 1911s at media day

The fast draw is back. And Para has sponsored a new pro shooter.

More media day

Grenade launcher.

And Gun Nuts

Introduced

McCarthy’s ban on the transfer and sale of standard capacity magazines.

More SHOT Stuff

Lots of links here. Including this video of a belt-fed AR-15. Hopefully, unlike the Shrike, it’s not just vaporware.

Meanwhile, on Fantasy Island

Newsweek says gun control is back in Washington and that conservatives are making inaccurate arguments against gun control. It’s funny because 1) gun control is not back in Washington and 2) the whole piece is riddled with inaccurate arguments and information.

Only the government

Can run a gambling operation and lose money. Seriously, if you lose money running a gambling operation, you must be retarded.

Of course, the .gov couldn’t even make money selling ass.

Let it sink in. The government cannot make money in operations that are very successful at making money even when you include the high cost that comes with breaking the law. The .gov doesn’t have the high cost of breaking the law and still can’t make money. Remember that when someone says they want the government to run healthcare.

Martin Luther King and his guns

MLK was denied a permit, because AL had discretionary may issue laws.

Micro Nines

Sig has released one. Others aren’t so impressed with the concept.

Lives up to its name for once

NYPD actually buys back it’s own gun, that was stolen.

Kids and Guns

Katie: Guns, Parenting and Risk: Do You Let Your Child Visit Homes With Firearms?

Life is risky. Katie wonders if they ask about pools, chemicals, and hot tubs.

A lot of gun owners stay in the closet and don’t admit they own guns, depending on the area where you are. Here, I pretty much presume that most households have guns. And I choose to educate my kids on guns. My kids know that any time they want to shoot a gun, just ask. And I’ll take them. It eliminates the curiosity if they can do it when they want. And, of course, they know the rules.

Prior to Junior’s first shots:

Robert Levy: Gun control measures don’t stop violence

At CNN, he writes:

Still, the Supreme Court has suggested that sensible gun regulations may be constitutionally permissible. Sensible is not, however, what we have in Washington, Chicago, New York and other cities, where you can probably get a pizza delivery before a response from a 911 call. Police cannot be everywhere.

Selected proposals may nonetheless be constructive, with three important qualifications. First, government has the burden to show that a regulation will not unduly impede the use of firearms for self-defense. Second, ostensibly modest steps down a slippery slope must not compromise core Second Amendment rights. Third, a regulation must be effective in promoting public safety, when weighed against reliable evidence that past restrictions have not lessened the incidence of gun-related crimes.

I thought he may be backpedaling from his previous comments that bans on regular capacity magazines were likely constitutional.

Charter Arms Rimless Revolver

Actual photos. Think they’ve been teasing these for years.

Firearms on Campus

A bill to allow that on Tennessee campuses.

S&W M&P22

Based on this pic, I wonder if they shoved some P22 innards into a M&P frame and slide. I’d recognize that barrel anywhere. Looks like a Walther P22 barrel to me.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
